Women Who Make U. s. Flags.

TOIn 0nOTI OklbS.
One of the most interesting depart
ments OF the Brooklyn Navy Yard is
a great sewing-room, where twenty
or thirty women and girls, of
various ages, sit among heaps of
many-colored materials, nanufac-
turing all the flags used in the United
States Navy. Change of administra-
tion has no effect upon their position.
for they are preferred on account of
their skill in needlework, and not
because of any partisan influence.
Some of them grow old in the service,
and year by year they sew together
the stripes and stitch on the stars
that make the star spangled banner.
Every star must have SO many
stitches to the inch, and every bit of
work is rigidly inspected. Besides
the Stars and Stripes, flags OF every
nation in whose waters the American
vessels sail have to be manufactured;
and these women copy the English
fl ~, and embroider the Chinese
dragon, and applique the varied and
fantastic symbols used in the flags OF
all countries. The work must be in
teresting, and it has one great ad.
vantage-it is constant, all the year
round. and there is no fuctuation in
the rate OF wages.

BEECHER-INGERsoLL.

The man who laughs at Christiani-
ty and makes merchandise of his
defamation of Holy Writ and who
takes fiendish delight in attempts to
blot out the brightest star of human
hope-Col. Robert Ingersoll-was in
Washington recently and his visit
recalled to a WashiDgtonian an in
cident which occurred number of
years ago, which the Post relates in
detail and which we will give in con-
densed form.
Ingerson and Henry Ward Beecher
were thrown together accidentally.
There were four or five others present
who were anxious to involve the two
men in a controversy upon religion.
IngersolPs mouth was very readily
set to work, but Beecher said not a
word. One of the party at last in
CURED: "Mr. Beecher, have you
nothing to say in regard to the
question ?" The old man slowly
lifted himself from his attitude and
replied: Nothing; in fact, if you will
excuse me for changing the converse
ton, l will say that while you gentle
men were talking, my mind was bent
on most deplorable spectacle which
witnessed today"

Ingersoll.
why" said Mr.. Beecher, ''as !
was walking down town today, l saw
a poor man slowly and carefully
picking his way through cesspool
of mud, in the endeavor to cross the
street. He had just reached the
middle of the filth when a big bully,
himself all besmeared with mud,
rushed up to him, jerked the crutches
from under the unfortunate man and
left him sprawling in the pool OF
| liquid dirt, which almost engulfed
him."
"What brute he WASH said the
Col. "What q brute he WASH they
all echoed.
"Yes, "said Mr.. Beecher, rising from
his chair. and brushing back his long,
white hair, while his eyes glittered
with their old-time fire; Eyes, Col.
Ingersoll, and you are the man. The
human soul is lame, but Christianity
gives crutches to it to pass the high
way of life. 1t is your teaching that
knocks the crutches from under it
and leaves helpless and rudderless
wreck in the slough of despond. II
robbing the human soul of it's only
support on this earth-religion-be
your profession, why, ply it to your
hearts content. 1t requires an

From q Moral Standpoint.

The Independent.
The moral position of the United
States is very strong. We are not
asking for Cuba for ourselves; we
have no desire to annex the island;
we are not clamoring for any
material advantage whatever; we
have no quarrel with Spain on other
scores; we have no desire to fight for
glory. or to fight at all, unless driven
Co it; our sole desire is that the
awful struggle in Cuba, with all its
attendant horrors OF death by star
walton and disease among the inno-
cent non-combatants, shall cease.
The appeal is to our humanity, and
our humanity compels Us to act.

If North Carolina is TO be redeemed
