HERALDRY IN AMERICA.

On being informed by a European
that the average American did not
know who his grandfather was, Mark
Twain is said to have retorted that
the average European was much
worse off, for the latter did not know
who his father was. To remove the
first cause for reproach was the an
nounced object of an American col
lege of heraldry, which proposed to
establish itself in New York a few
years ago. Whether the concern Sc.
cured its charter or not, the business
OF hunting up ancestors and providing
coats-of-arms for all willing to pay,
for them at high rates has continued
to flourish.
OF course all Americans have an.
cestorsy Of one sort or another, in
some cases known, but mostly un.
known, the great majority not having
been sufficiently distinguished to
Leave records behind them. Undoubt-
eddy some American families descend
ed from titled European families and
a few of these can prove the fact
by an unbroken series of records
For example, a few Inundated scions
of nobility shook the dust of Crom-
wells England from their feet and
came to America for refuge. There
were also unlucky younger sons Of
titled men who did the like during
the later periods. And this country
has received some immigrants who,
though not members Of titled fam
lily, had the right to "bear arms" as
the technical phrase goes, a known
ancestor having been granted armor-
ial bearings for service in war at an

war may be looked for in prompt
deterioration of the higher national
energies, as we'll as in the reduction

destruction of talent, as we'll as the

AT THE "BL0ODY ANGLE
Recalled by Civil War Survivors as
Very Hot Place.

Recalled by Civil War Survivors a.
Very Hot Place.
One of the most desperate fights of
the civil war was that which took
place at the Bloody Angle on May
IL, 1864. 1t is still remembered by the
survivors as probably the hottest place
they ever were in General L A.
Grant, commander OF the Vermont
brigade, described the fight at the
dead line" as follows:
"It was not only desperate struggle,
but it was literally hand to hand
fight. Nothing but the piled up logs or
breastworks separated the c0mbatants,
Our men would reach over the logs and
flre into the faces Of the enemy. who
would stab over with their bayonets.
Many were shot and stabbed through
the crevices and holes between the
, logs. Men mounted the works and
with muskets rapidly handed them
kept up continuous fire until they
were shot down, when others would
take their places and continue the
deadly work.
Several times during the day the
Confederates would show white flag
about the works and when our FIRE
slackened jump over and surrender,
and others were crowded down to fill
their places. 1t was there that the
somewhat celebrated tree was cut of
by bullets-there that the brush and
logs were cut to pieces and whipped
into basket stuff"
General MCGOWAN, who was on the
other side of the trenches leading the
South Carolina brigade, stated In his
report:
"Our men lay on one side Of the
breastwork, the enemy On the other,
and In many instances men were
pulled over. The trenches on the right
had to be cleared Of the dead more
than once. An oak tree twenty-five
inches In diameter In rear of the bri-
gade was cut down by musket balls,
and it fell about II o'clock Thursday
night, the 10Th, injuring several men
In the First South Carolina regiment"

Battle Incident Which Led Later to
Restoration of Sword.
General Keifer, later In congress
from the Springfield tO.) district, was
one Of the last men wounded in the
civil war. He entered the volunteer
army in April, 1861, and served until
after Lees surrender in 1866. In all
that time he received three scratches,
but shortly after the surrender he was
scouting at the head Of small force
of cavalry and came suddenly upon
large force of Confederate cavalry.
There was a skirmish, in which Keifer
was wounded and in which he would
have been killed had 1t not been for
the Intervention of the Confederate
commander. who, under the circum-
stances, simply wanted to be let alone
Keifer returned to camp, had bis
wound dressed, reported to headquar-
ters and received special orders and
with re-enforcements started to find
the derelict Confederates. He found
them, and Colonel Tucker, the Confed-
crate commander, surrendered. Keifer
carried fuckers sword home with him,
and it was kept in his library at Spring
field as trophy Of the war.
In 1876 Keifer was elected to con-
gress and In 1881 was elected speaker.
Among his acquaintances In 1879 was
John Randolph Tucker of Virginia. In
conversation one day Keifer told Tuck
er the story of the sword. and Tucker
said the officer who surrendered the
day of the skirmish was undoubtedly
his brother. This fact being establish
ed, Keifer took the sword to Washing
ton and placed 1t in the hands Of j.
Randolph Tucker, who restored 1t to
its original owner. In after years Gen
eral Keifer became again member Of
congress and found the son Of ]. Ran
dolph Tucker in the fathers seat.

scores Of minor positions In the

taken from them under the VIII

'In many other cases minor po-
sitions, covered by civil service,
they have been reduced. This
course was successfully pursued
In the cases Of many others to
force their designations. In all
hundreds Of Afro American office
holders have lost positions in the

years under President Wilson's

Fact Bearing on Country In Connection
With Childhood of Christ.
Perhaps few people know that the
gold, frankincense and myrrh which
the Magi presented to Jesus when they
came to worship him as he lay In the
maEger at Bethlehem were all the prod
ucts Of Africa. the gold probably COM
ing from the Gold Coast, as 1t Is now
called, and the frankincense and
myrrh from Somaliland, where they are
found In great abundance.
Africa, 1t has been shown, was very
much In evidence In the life Of Jesus.

young child. Jesus, asylum when Herod
sought his life and thus became host
to the Son of God. and Simon. the Cy-
