The author of 'Twenty-five Years in
British Guiana says that he was once
camping out with companions there,
and that some Of them had not his ac-
uuaintance with the woods.
At last we turned into our hammocks,
and | was dropping off to sleep when l
was reused by the most internal bark
ing and roaring. Attracted by our fire
and singing, troop of bowling balloons
had come over the trees and were maxi
ing night hideous by their yells.
Shields who was not acquainted with
the brutes, shook my hammock violent
ly and whispered:
what on earth is that?'
Not very well knowing what l was
saying, I replied, Tigers"
Are they very near?'
Very said |, and taking advantage
of a lull in the chorus, l dropped
asleep.
Poor Shields lay awake half the night
expecting to be devoured by wild
beasts. He was sleepy and cross in the
morning, and Bridges asked him If he
had heard the balloons.
"Oh, those were balloons, We're they:
What an awful noise they make! But
what were they saying?"
Il don't know" said Bridges, UNI
sympathetically. IT don't belong tc
the same Species.

Maine soldiers were sent to the CAPT.
tol at Augusta, but this one was pre-
scented to prominent citizen, who had
a large collection of curios, trophies
and relics, and all these years this old
flag has hung upon the walls of sum-
mer cottage at Alamoosook, short
distance from Bucksport. The citizen
has long cherished the idea of return
ing the flag to it's former owners, but
had not been able to locate the Jasper
Blues definitely until within a short
time. Last summer, among the many
visitors to Alamoosook, which is one
of Bucksport's show Places was a
gentleman from Georgia and knowing
something of tt war history of his
state, he at once recognized the name
of the Jasper Blues as that of a COM
pany formed in Jasper county, Georgia,
at the outbreak of the rebellion. Upon
his return south he caused to be print
ed an inquiry in regard to the Jasper
Blues, which brought a response from
the only surviving officer, one of the
10 survivors of the company. The Jas
per Blues were recruited from the
flower of Jasper county, the flag was
made for them by a coterie of Southern
bellies

The Battle Flag in Dixie.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer
Last week a tattered and faded bat
tie flag-one with the stars and bars
was taken from the place where it has
hung for over so years, carefully
packed and sent back to Dixie, to a
remnant of one of the bravest COM
panies that ever fought in any cause
When the boys of that famous Maine
regiment-the list Maine cavalry
came marching home in 1865, they
brought with them to Bucksport, Me-,
the trophy. 1t was beautiful silk
flag bound with a wide fringe, and to
it was attached a heavy silken cord
and tassels In the field, upon one side,
was the inscription: THE Jasper

Death" There were the Jagged rents
made by mimic balls and a large dark
stain-some said it was blood. The

A delieatassen counter of solid oak 50 feet long has been added, as well as a Mosaic new wall piece composed delicatassen case and refrigerator of solid case with French plate glass mirrors In the kitchen has been placed new steel range, complete in all details. One of the handsome additions is the battery of cof- fee urns, silver plated from top to bot tom.
