I'rexenting » R#l>el Flag, During our war the colonel of a fine Union regiment came to his general, in a high state of excitement. “General,” said he, "I was waited on by two lovely ladies this morning, who wish to present a flag to my regiment on the coming Fourth of July.’ As the brigade was at that time quartered in a very hostile southern city, this produced considerable surprise on the part of the general, but he finally said: "Well, it will be worth seeing. Turn out your regiment and let the ceremonies go on.” When the famous day arrived, every soldier was clad in his best, and the colonel looked fairly resplendent in his finest uniform. There was quite a large number of spectators present. The young ladies appeared, escorted by some of their male friends and were given a post of honor. One of them made a speech, in which she mentioned liberty as among the choicest blessings in the world, and extolled the conduct of our brave revolutionary forefathers. It was a very eloquent address, and was heard by a!’, with approval and delight. At its close she uncovered and unrolled the flag, and with a smile upon her face, said, sweetly: "I now have the pleasure of presenting, sir, to you and your regiment, the grandest and most characteristic symbol of the liberty for which our forefathers fought that has ever seen the light of day.” She unrolled the flag, which, to the unlimited surprise of most of those present, proved to be a Confederate one! For a moment there was an intense silence. The southerners present did not dare to cheer, however much they felt like it; the soldiers were sternly restrained by their officers, as well as by their natural chivalry toward the sex. The colonel's eyes flashed fire; but he was a man of the world, and had been an accomplished politician before entering the war; and, with a gentle and engaging smile, he advanced and received the flag from the hand of his fair (and unfair) guest. Then, in a clear, resonant Fourth-of-July tone, he responded: ‘‘Madam, you are my guest, and a lady. I am the colonel of this regiment, which is composed entirely of gentlemen as well as soldiers, and, I trust, 1 am deserving the same appelations. "We have listened with interest to your views as to which is the symbol most typical of freedom of any in the world. We (looking at th# colors of the regiment) hold a different opinion, or we should not be here. We are glad to know, too, that our views are gradually gaining ground. We have already received in surrender several flags similar to the one you have just handed me, and shall keep this as a token, that at last even the fair daughters of the confederacy have decided that their cause is a hopeless one, and have commenced capitulating their colors eulogizing then - , very naturally, as they do so.” The turning of the tables had been accomplished so neatly that the crowd j cheered in spite of themselves! the young lady, who had perhaps harbored an idea that she would be arrested and made a sort of martyr, rushed away in confusion; and the colonel marched his regiment back to quarters with flying colors. He afterward received a merry note from his acquaintance of a day, apologizing for the trick she had attempted to play upon him, thanking him for the gentlemanly manner in which h® had treated her, and acknowledging that he had the best of the incident. During a late visit to the Nashville exposition he enjoyed the pleasure of meeting her—now a handsome ‘Colonial Dame”—and of laughing with her over the incident.—From Everywhere

"I wore those shoes for months, ani j with the greatest of comfort. They were enormous or they looked so to me. As soon as I began to wear them the thick leather of the uppers humped up into big, round ridges, with v a |. leys between, across the top, giving to the top of the shoe a sort of fluted or corrugated effect. These corrugations remained always just the same as long as I wore the shoes. They were nowhat you would call a handsome shoe but, as I said, they did not shuck around on my feet, and they were mighty comfortable. "But it doesn't follow that after that I always got shoes two sizes too big for me; as a matter of fact, I didn't; but I always did get shoes plenty large for me; plenty; and found comfort in wearing them. “Sometimes we used to (Jraw boots; cavalry boots. And it was kind o’ fun to get hoots. I remember very well the first pair of boots I drew. I think I felt (perhaps in a little maturer sort of way, though not much so, either) about as much pleased over that pair of boots as I did with my first red-tops when I was a boy. To get on a pair of cavairy boots sort of made a man feel a little bit less like a plodding infantryman. and a little more like a cavalry, man; it gave him a sort of a horse-and-sabre touch. But this was only as he walked down the company street after drawing the boots from the quartermaster; the next day, on picket, the boots were about the same to him as shoes would have been. "Still there were men who preferred boots and always drew boots when they could get them. But for myself I like shoes better. A mounted man. of course, wants boots; but according to my notion the most comfortable thing for an infantry soldier to wear is a good, roomy shoe that can be mads snug enough somewhere so that it won’t shuck around on the foot."—New York

Typical of Grant. A story is told of General Grant which is illustrative of his tender and gentle nature. On the day of a great review he turned, with eyes dim with tears, from the sight of his old troops, saying, “I don't believe I can stand it! I don’t believe I can stand it!” In the same spirit is the following souvenir from “A Child’s Recollections of Grant” in Current Literature: The parade of the Grand Army, which was part of the Centennial celebration, was an occasion of wild excitement to us. We were not far from the balcony where General Grant reviewed the troops, and therefore saw all that could be seen—a seemingly endless procession of soldiers, cannon and brass bands. And how the people cheered! But it puzzled us why the cheers were loudest and longest for the most forlorn, stained and tattered old flags, until w« understood that the flags, too, were veterans. By and by .he great show was over, and General Grant was going away. H« did not seem at all gay. I wondered why. "Didn't you enjoy it? Wasn't it nice to see all your old soldiers there again?” I asked. “But they were not all there." he answered gravely. I realized what it had meant to him to review his old army. Those tattered flags had been carried by men who went to death at his command. Those dark stains had been the red life-blood of men who died obeying him. To others it had been u day of jubilee, while his great heart had ached as he thought of the price of his victories.

Another froir the War. An ex-Confederate soldier of South Carolina tells this story: "I had a friend who was a chaplain in our army —a good man, as such men should be. Several of his own church members were In the same regiment. He kept a sharp eye on us, and tried to train us in the way we should go. When we were rather short for rations some of the hoys brought in a fine young porker. ‘Now, boys, that's wrong.’ said he; ‘it is simply stealing, and you ought not to do it.’ “ ‘Well, our consciences don't trouble us, and yours won't trouble you when we get this meat cooked; you will want some of it. too.' " 'No, 1 won't eat It. I'd as soon eat stolen meat.’ "But we divided It up among th* boys, and proceeded to cook a ham I" the best possible style. The smell ' l fairly made our teeth water, and when It was cooked we were more than ready for it. “ 'There’s a fine piece; cut that off for the chaplain,’ said one. “ ‘No, I thank you,’ he said.
