sTEAMER sTlLL AeRouNp.


Six harbor tug boats went out early
In the afternoon to the steamer Ever
nda and spent the afternoon endeavor-
ing to float the vessel, which grounded
broadside between Barcelona and Per-
dido wharves. Just before nightfall
the tugs succeeded in swinging the
steamer about and pointing her south,
but she seemed to stick as hard as
ever in that position and the task was
given up for the night and will be
resumed today. 1t is not thought the
steamer is damaged to any extent.
The vessel is to take a cargo of
lumber and timber by the Keyser- Null
don Company, small portion Of which
has been loaded.
Several barks dragged their anchors
during the blow, but did not ground.
Fishing boats, especially those en-
gagged in beach fishing, suffered some
less, one sinking in the sound, and the
owner, Mr.. Pent, with another man,
had to swim ashore.

 bear; he lives on their flesh when he can kill one, or roots and fruits when he cannot.
 He falls and is lame, he coughs, he has a stitch in his side, he has a fever and chills; when he is hungry,

The sunstroke, which knocks him down, brings his corn up. As his family thrives, and other planters come up around him, he begins to fell trees and clear good

BARBARA FRiETCHIE AGAIN
Her Niece Tells the Real Facts About
 the Flag Incident

Few, if any, of the great ballads Tn our language will stand minute cross examination as to historical accuracy. Almost every line of The Burial of Sir John Moore" is a mis- statement of fact. "Evangeline'' has little of history back of it. The story upon which Whittier depended when he wrote Barbara Frietchie" really comes nearer to accuracy than the average of the most noted ballads in any language.
 Indeed he told the story almost ex- actly as he had it from Mrs. South worth, but she was mistaken in bringing General Jackson personally into it. l think the real incident is given below as told by Barbara her self to the niece of her husband, who is now residing in Frederick. and who lately has been interviewed in regard to it. She says:
 Dame Barbara did not knowingly, at first. wave the starspangled ban ner at the Confederate soldiers A niece had gone to see her aunt that morning, and told her that it was said the troops would pass through the town that day. Later the small maid ran in. in much excitement, and called out:
 Aunt F'rietchie, the troops are coming
 To the loyal old woman the troops meant only one army, the northern, and when she heard the sound of marching feet she rose and taking small silk flag which she had re moved from it's staff and hidden in her Bible for safe keeping. she stepped out upon the porch and waved it at the passing men. Instantly a murmur rose, and an officer, riding up to the porch, said kindly:
 Granny, you had better take your flag in the house.
 |" won't do it! I won't do it!' said the old woman, childishly, and
