THE STARS AND BARS.
Some DIverting History of the Flag
Adopted by The Com
fehcracy.

The flag OF the confederacy. or,
sather, the flags Of the confederacy. had
rome curious bits of history attached to
their brief existence. On March 5. 1861,
Abe provisional confederate congress
recommended that "the flag OF the con-
federate states of America shall consist
of u red field, with white space extend
Ing horizontally through the center,
and equal in width to one-third the
width Of the Gag.
"rhe red spaces above and below TO
be Of the same width as the white. The
union blue, extending down through
the white spaces and stopping at the
lower red space; In the center Of the
union a circle of white stars corre-
spending in number with the states OK
the confederacy." It was first dis
played in public March q, 1861, the day
Of the Inauguration Of lincoln, aud
was unfurled over the state house at
Montgomery, Ala.
On the battlefield the flag bore such
similarity to the union flag that IN
September, 1861. for the army OF the
Potomac, Gems. Beauregard and John
ston created what afterward became
known as tho battle flsg-a red ground
with a blue diagonal cross emblazoned
with white stars, one for each state.
This form was adopted by all OF the
troops enst Of tho Mississippi river. The
hrst design bearing the objection OF
resemblance to the stars and stripes
and the battle flag having no reverse,
the confederate senate, IN April, 1863
adopted white flag, with a broad blue
bar Ia its center; amended by inserting
the battle flag design az theunion, with
a plain white ground for the field, This
arrangement afterward proved faulty
as at distance the large white fleld
resembled a flag of truce, also as com
b,ned with the union was similaV TO tn,

In LIS series o. comparative readings
IN the college hal OF Westminster aDs
by recently Stephen Phillips proceeded
90 illustrate Tcnnyeon AZ the poet Of his
own ago and time. Seine critics, he OBJ
served, considered that the chief func-
tion of the poet was ts mirror the char
acteristics OF the time IN whish he
lived, but ho h'csclf did not hold 80
extreme a view pointing out tbnt keata,
for instance. lived entirely apart from
almost al the tendencies a his day.
Much, however, q Tennyson's euccess
was due to tho fnct that he mirrored
the chief tendencies and thoughts Of the
timo IN which he lived.
Tho flrst illustration Of THE idea was
given IN a selection from the "lnfn-
cess" in which the poet picturesqnelX
dealt with the question Of tho higher
education and emancipation Of women,
which was agitating the minds OF men
at tho period in which he wrote.
"Locksley Hall" was next given as an
instance OF the effective manner Ia
which Tennyson voiced the thought OF
the day in regard to the advance OF
science. this poem being written, as the
reader remarked. at time when science
had practically only begun and when
there was much speculation as to the
possibilities OF future discovery.
Then thero was the fear that science
should end ia extlngulshing the old
faith and religion Of the countryi and it
was of this conflict between religion
and science-which the reader Thought
was much more apparent than real
that Tennyson was thinking when ip
his famous poem "In Memoriam' he
penned the lines beginning: "Be near
me whom my light Is low" Still an
other tendency OF Tennyson's time was
the feeling among churchmen that they
should give more thought to the wants
OF the poor. and in illustration Of this
Mr.. Phillips quoted "The Invitation tc
T. Il. Norris"
Finally the reader reminded his au-
dience that Tennyson's time saw the be
ginning Of the recovery from the rcac.
tion produced by the French revolution
and he quoted two short poems IN which
the poet dealt with the new Englist
idea OF freedom as broadening dowr
from precedent TO precedent" Turn
ing to Wordsworth, he poieted out thai
this poet had started with the most ccn
vinccd hope in the French revolution
and that when the movement led TO eN
cesses there seemed nothing left fol
him. Wordsworth, however, found tw'

Iodge OF Massachusetts directing the
'claims committee to make an inquiry as
10 the disposition of the money appro-
priated by congress to pay the claim OF
the book concern Of the Methodist Epis-
copal church south. A heated colloquy
between Mr.. Chandler of New Hamp-
shire and Mr.. Pasco OF Florida was the
feature Of the discussion. Mr. Chandler
said that Mr.. Pasco was unwittingly
and unwillingly the agent through
which a deception had been practiced
upon the senate. Mr.. Pasco demanded
the withdrawal Of the statement. but
Mr.. Chandler insisted that II was corr
rect and refused to withdraw It, al
though he disclaimed any intention to
reflect upon Mr.. Pasco's honor. The
resolution probably VIII be called up
again today.
At 2 o'clock the consideration Of the
