THE CONFEDERATE FLAG.

How the Design Was Fir,,sis Adopted
by tho South.
R. T. Beauregard of, New Orleans
gives the following account of the de-
sign of the Confederate flag:
During the battle of Manassas Gen
eral Beauregard had observed the Diff
Guilty Of distinguishing our own from
the enemy's colors and in order to pre-
vent all errors in the future had de-
termined to adopt in his army battle
flag distinct in color and design. He
at first sought to procure change in
the Confederate flag itself. and Colonel
w. ?. Miles, then chairman of the
house military committee. had caused,
at his request. report to be presented
to that effect, but with no result. In
a conference between the then three
senior officers at Fairfax Court House
in September out Of four designs for
a battleflag one presented by General
Beauregard was adopted. 1t was red

latter edged with white and bearing
white stars. To render it more port
able it was made square instead of
oblong by order of General Johnston. !
This beautiful design. by a strange
coincidence. had been previously de-
vised by Colonel Miles and recon-
mended for the Confederate flag to con-
gress. then in session at Montgomery
in March. 1861, It had also been pro-
posed by Mr. Edward c. Hancock. at
the request Of Colonel James B. Wal
ton. at New Orleans in the month of
April. 1t had been offered by Colonel
Miles to General Beauregard in subst1-
tuition for one nearly similar in en-
blem and pattern. but different In the
distribution Of colors. suggested to him
by General Beauregard when the latter
was seeking to procure change in the
Confederate flag. And it was now pro-
posed anew to the general by Colonel
Walton. who had Mr.. Hancock's de-
sign. -r..--
"Thus it will be seen that the design
of the Confederate battlefag was con-
ceived and drawn long before Union
soldier had tried his skill in water
colors on an original which was not
and could never have reached the

THE VETERANS.
Dy DENIS A. MCCARTHY.

Every year they're marching slower:
Every year they're stopping lower;
Every year the lifting music stirs the
hearts Of older men;
Every year the flags above them
Seem to bend and bless and love them
~ II grieving for the future when thGV'u
never march again.
Every year that day draws nearer,
Every year the truth is clearer
That the men who saved the nation fro0
the severing southern sword
Soon must pass away forever,
From the scene Of their endeavor,
Soon must answer to the roll call Of tie
angel OF the Lord.
Every year with dwindling number,
Loyal still to those that slumber,
Forth they march to where already many
have found peace at last,
And they place the fairest blossoms
Ger the silent, moldring bosoms
Of the valiant friends and comrades of tho
battles Of the past.
Every year grow DINNER, duller.
Tattered flag and faded color
Every year the hands that bear them nd
harder task to do
And the eyes that only frightened
When the blaze of battle lightened.
Like the tattered flags they follow, afo
grown dim and faded too.
Every year we see them massing
Every year we watch them passing,
Scarcely pausing in our hurry after pleas
ure. after gain.
But the battle flags above them
Seem to bend and bless and love them,
And through all the lifting music SCUM 10

am#. drops of oil on the troubled
waters when in the spring of 1867 they
decorated the graves Of the boys who
had worn the blue and the boys who
had worn the gray lying in the GENE

Tribune the next day contained this
dispatch:
The women of Columbus, Miss, ami

many Of their sisters. have shown them
selves impartial in their offerings to the
memory Of the dead. They strewed flow-
ers alike on the graves of the Confederate
and the Federal soldiers.
1t is not to be wondered at that this
beautiful incident suggested a poem to
one in whom there was the spirit OF
true poetry. Francis Miles Finch,
whose home was in Ithaca. N. Y, read
the dispatch and was impressed by the
fact that the incident indicated that
the south was holding out friendly
hand and that there should be some
response to it. His beautiful poem.
The Blue and the Gray" was his own
personal response to this friendly over.

forty years of age. had no poetical as,

like to have at least this one poem pub.
lished. Therefore he sent it to the At
lantic Monthly in Boston, and it ap-
peared in that magazine in September,
1867. The poem made little impress
sion at first. but finally the newspapers
began to copy it. and objections to it's
sentiment began to be heard by SOL
diers in the north and there were a
number of p0eti"al REPLIES to it.
The poem became the subject of
newspaper editorials, and there was a
good deal OF Scathing criticism that
might never have arisen had the cir
cumstance giving rise to the writing
Of the poem been generally known. In
deed. the editor Of the Atlantic wrote
to Mr.. Finch before publishing the
poem and asked him if he could not
incorporate the Tribune dispatch into
the poem and make it form the first
stanza. Mr.. Finch tried to do this.
but the result was unsatisfactory, and
the poem YVES published as originally
written. Here is the first stanZa:
BY the flow of the inland river
Whence the fleets Of iron have fed,
Where the blades of the grave grass

Asleep are the ranks of the dead,
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Under the one the Blue,
Under the other the Gray.

THE NEW SOUTH FARM AND
HOME COMPANY IN COURT

Mr.. II. L. Anderson and quite a
number of other lawyers are in Ocala
from Jacksonville before Judge Bull
lock in the matter of the receiver,
who was recently appointed at the i'll
stance of Mr.. Anderson for the New
South Farm and Home Company. It
seems that the company bought a
good deal of the lands it owns from
Mr. Anderson, and some disagree
ment has arisen between him and the
company about the payments for the
same, and he came to Ocala some
weeks ago and had receiver ap-
pointed to take over the affairs of the
company. The attorneys for the COM
pany hold that Judge Bullock had no
jurisdiction in the matter, and if it is
held that he has the proper jurisdic-
tion then the receiver should be dis
missed on the merits of the case, as
the financial standing of the company
did not warrant his appointment.
Mr. Anderson joins issue on both
propositions, and the battle is on.
There is yoluminous bundle of doc
uments, an array of lawyers on both
sides, and it promises to be battle
royal.

rian churches beautiful sermons on
the subject of Mother were preach

i've young girls.
In the evening, at the Methodist
church, Mr. Ley followed his sermon
on Mother and Motherhood" with a
very splendid and impressive Sermon
on Father and Fatherhood," which
was even better than his sermon in
the morning.
