NOT A SUNDAY SCHOOL FLAG.
Finding of a superb Pelican Flag at
New Richmond, La.

Editor National Tribune: / have
been reading what the boys have had
to say about the return of the rebel
flags in the old reliable National Trib-
une, and I wanr to have my say. In
the Spring of 1863, when Gen. U. S.
Grant started to move his army thru
Louisiana to get below Vicksburg, my
company was ordered out under the
command of Capt. M. E. Kelley. We
went to bayou, 1 have forgotten the
name, but across on the west bank was
a nice little town called New Rich
mond, which was occupied by the reb-
els. Capt. Kelley went into camp
about half mile up the bayou, and we
got supper and fixed for the night. /
was in bed, with my saddle for pill
low, when 1 heard the Captain calling
for Daniels, Brown and Blasdel to go
on picket. We reported, and were
sent out with instructions to crawl to
the little levee Of the bayou, lie there
all night and find out what We could,
reporting to the Captain the next morn
ing. These Instructions we carried out
to the letter. and the next morning we
marched down the bayou and fired
across into the town for a while. After
bit others joined u.s. and in the after
noon about 20 of us swan our horses
across the bayou and drove the rebs
out of the town, taking it for our
selves. I opened the door of store
room in one of the houses. and saw it
was a vacant room, but in the far end
was a fine flagstaff, and 1 ran down
thru the room to get it. AS I ran I
stumbled over something, but l didn't
stop then to see what it was, for it was
wrapped up very nicely in paper but
/ took 1t all the same, and when I got
out and unwrapped it / found one of
the handsomest flags l ever saw. Snow

size, with very large star in the mid

That Christmas Dinner.

Editor National Tribune: On the
night before Christmas, 1868, the 34th
Pa. was encamped at Springfield, w
Va. AT that time, when our thoughts
were not at all in sympathy with our
surroundings, but of home and loved
ones, 1, with detail composed of differ
ent companies and some of the famous
Ringgold Cavalry, was ON picket duty
at the Wire Bridge, closely observing
the boys in gray at the other end of
the bridge. Our Christmas feast was,
however, by no means forgotten, as we
watched as a cat does 4 mouse every
movement of the enemy. The country
around had been pretty well cleared of
anything edible for either man or beast,
but pretty soon one of the comrades,
long since gone to his final reward,
came in with fine, fat turkey. 1t was
not for me or any of us to question how
or where he came by 1t; perhaps it was
a wild bird which he had killed in self
defense At all events he was well
coined like a long-lOst brother, and un-
der the skilful hands of one of the boys
the fowl was dressed up to date. big
kettle was secured, and the different
boys contributed the seasoning, some
salt, some pepper, squad securing a
head of cabbage, while others got pota-
toes. Everything being ready, we built
a stone chimney and started a rous;ng
fire with logs which we tore out of an
old house. When the savory odors be-
gan to issue from that boiling kettle
the boys would walk up, poke their
noses in, dance around and rub their
stomachs, and cut up high jinks gen.
orally in anticipation of the feast. After
what seemed an awfully long time the
cook pronounced the turkey done to
turn, and as / look back 43 years never
before or since did a Christmas dinner
taste so good as that one of turkey, po-
tatoes and cabbage. If any of the boys
are living who We're in that squad and
helped eat that turkey 1 wish they
would let me hear from them.-David

in brewery and gave an address that
could not be located. When picked up
by the police he was hungry and desti-

Kroenig gave up his position with
the Kern Brewing Co, of Port Huron,

At the time he had $50 in his pocket
and was not afflicted until he reached

recovering his mind but say his past

vers Of the modernized Chinese army
in the neighborhood OF Chang fu.
He describes them as a repetition Of
the performance OF 1864 set piece
carefully prepared long beforehand by
a number OF Japanese advisers The
inefiiciency OF the officers is still con-
spicuous and the field training of the
men inadequate. but the material is
good. DR.. Morrison hints that with
out Japanese officers to direct affairs
the contending armies would have
been little better than a rabble.

Strength Of Japanese Wine.

There is no liquor in the world upon
which man becomes SO quickly An
toxicated as Japanese sake (rice
wine), and yet none of which the ef-
fects last SO short time. The in
toxication is pleasant as the effect OF
opium or hasheesh. II is soft, pleas
ant, luminous exhilaration, everything
becoming brighter, happier, lighter;
then you get very sleepy.
AT Japanese dinners itis the rule TO
become slightly exhilarated, but not to
drink enough to talk thickly or walk
crooked. The ability 10 drink at ban
quets requires practice-long practice.
There are banquets OF many kinds,
and the man who Is invited to one at
which extensive drinking may be ex-
pected is careful to start in upon an
empty or almost empty stomach. By
not eating one can drink a good deal.
The cups are very small and Of many
curious shapes. One may be expected
to empty so. A quart of sake is good
deal; two quarts require iron nerves
to stand. But among the Japanese
there are wonderful drinkers. At a
military officers banquet a captain
offered me d tumbler holding good
pint OF sake. l almost tainted at the

A New zion ~

Is General Overseer Wilbur Glenn
Voliva. of Dowie's Zion City, about
to establish his new colony at. Gull
Lake?
Natives Of the lake region believe
such thing is about to happen be-
cause of doings of a mysterious
stranger who had papers addressed TO
Voliva.
AS the man gave no name, house
wives were anxious and when he
threw away the cover of some papers
they picked up fragments and read
the address Of the eX-overseer of Zion.
Whoever the man was, he took notes
on the acreage, the ownership. the
prices desired, and nature of the soil.
and quietly went away.
The suspicious of the natives have
been increased by the announcement
in Chicago papers that Voiva is max
ing arrangements to take the colony
away from Chicago.
