j - - Sumpter-s Flars- . j . | -The atspemdoiu erenR that Irnoniriroii ! I before Cbnrleston from Hie lime the ] South Atlantic Squadron, under the heroic Dupont invested its harbor in '01, nntii the forreaof General Sherman, early In '65, canned a hasty packing up and retreat of the Confederates from the entire region about the city of Palms. Biiich they hod so stoutly and stubbornly defended, have not, so fur, been fully written up in. the war literature of the period. One of these days somebody will gather ;the fragmen'nry materials that lie scattered shout newspaper of. Ucea.and with the records of the department something like hq adequate account of the siege of Charlhstonpsnd the blockade of it by the union fleet may be written. For three long years, and more there was no cessation from the work of Minding shot and shell into the defences of the cltv, and as will lie remembered by the student, and those that took an active part in the civil war the iWl pounder shells from the "Swamp Angel" found their way right into ' the heart of this hot bed of treason. Day and night the terrible Are from Union an oreasional attempt on the part of the fleet to run the forts and take the city assault, but iber failed with the loss with their vessel*. The sea fane of historical Sumplcr I looked like a huge pile of brickbats I from the pounding it had received from the mortar batteries of Moirls Island and j hung upon its flanks with dogged per- ] the night, the air between the Heel uud mortar batleric*. streaked with glittering ! lines ol fire the effect of burning fuzes j as they eat their way into the maga- j zincs of flying shells. And then if the j weather was still, the dull thud of the! exploding missiles might be distinctly heard. But it seemed lo effect Sump- 1 ter, no farther than shattering its walls. | mass or iqins. The "Slurs and Ban," j of the Confederacy could be seen float- ' ing out in the morning breezes, defiant ' and cheerful- But I did not start. out j to circumstantially relate a ty of the ! incidents of the investment of , 1 ending, when, after so long a period of | naval operations there came a morning ; ■ early in -the year of '65 (I've forgotten the exact day) when the flag of treason ' that had been flaunted from the tali staff of Fort Sumpter and from which the "Stare and Strip: a" bail been hauled down wiih military honors in the begin- ' hing of the struggle did not eppear. General Sherman's army (a division of j 1 had compelled the evacuation of the j

city and forts, by cutting them ofT on ; - the land side, a lent of arms the navy j pllahcd for obvious reasons. The Union army took possession of , i the city, the navy, under Admiral I T Dahlgrcn, at the time, turning its goveminent over to it, and the rebellious City was again under the control of the Federal government, but at what cost ! The pivotal point of this sketch, is the I •'Flag of Sumpter." I mean the Union piece of bnnting that was lowered on 1 April 14, '61 at the behest of the Confederate forces under General Beauregard. It will be remembered llial Major Anderson was permitted to take it away ' with him when the Fort was evacuated. 1 This precious bit of bunting was deposi- 1 ted at the war department, Washington, till the fall of Su.nptcr, when some one 1 conceived the idea that it should again 1 float over its walls. Arrangements were ' accordingly made, and with a party of ' prominent public men, members of the ' - president Lincoln's Cabinet and of Con- ' gress. the day, April 14, '85, was fixed 1 for the imposing ceremony. I was at ' the time serving In the fleet as executlon officer of the U. 8- S. "New llamp- J •hire." We hlui a large crew of blue ^ jkrtfts, aqjj, drders wprc (sued Jo me ' ! Commanding officer, tile late Ad- ' miral Key nolds, to select from It 100 of the flneet looking men that could be gotten. All hands were mustered, and the duty successfully done. There was no lack of desire to go to Charleston, but only those were drafted who came up to the require 1 standard set up for the damands of so august an occasion. . These men With new uniforms, burnished cutlasses and navy revolvers was the ship's quota which should add lustra to the restoration of Biimpter's flag from the place it had been torn by treason, Just four years before. I would Uke to say just how many blue Jackets were in line on that memorable day of » the history of the S. A R. a, but it was an imposing spectacle so far as the men of the navy were concerned. Then the ■ army was there, and performed Its part I in the glories of event, a But I am getting along too fast. In a I leather hag the flag was brought on I board the New Hampshire, on its way I lo Charleston and I bad the pleasure of I seeing It. and the many distloguisbI ed men of tbo army, navy and others I high in power in the count Us of the naI lion whef bail the precious relic in cusI tody. It was an occurrence that I look I back upon with peculiar reflections, for j having b> en of the South Atlantic SquadI ron for nearly tinge years, this prond day m in its history gave everybody who had I seen service in It greet delight. But the *" culmination of the pageant was. when, - amid the thunders of broadsides from u the DM and salvos of heavy siege guns '■ from the army batteries, the old flag ■' gracefully floated out and was unfoldi- ed to the balmy breeaea of Charleston * Harbor, - and run up lo bad of the j staff over war scarred Sumpter from i! which it had been dragged by the hand t of the nation's rebellious subjects. It 3 was a soul inspiring time. There was » an oration' by Henry Ward Beechcr, ' and addraaaes by other protninenl men k of the nation. v * The thrill of jqy and patriotism that |

l possessed the gored assembly on that I j ! histories! occasion -may have been felt c j had you been there but words .of mine j p rsunot even faintly express It now as I ( , go back in memory to the "Flag of | , Snmpter" when it was reunfurled amid , H such dramatic surrounding on the anni- , „ vereary of its humiliation in the | , days of the Rebellion. It .was a proud • I time lor the Squadron, it bad bail the ( f double duty at this particular point of , ,, reducing the forts ami batteries of the , s «nmy "'hen the" history of the war ! shall be written the place of the navy in , . the struggle will occupy a proud posi. , tion In the annals of the Rebellion. , \ > H.

To Limit Election Expenses. Nobody can deny that there is a cryneed for restrictions uf election expvndllures.in this country. The present agitation is confined mainly to measures designed to effect reform in our cities, but tbc movement must in time lie extended to Hie whole country. I tions arc by no means confined to the cities. They arc found in every state and in almost every election that is held, I source, the payment of "election ex- j penseu." Many a United States Senator. < ship has been decided in tills way far in advance of the meeting of the legislawhose members were to tnskc the choice. The candidate has gone into the primaries which were to nominate the members and has secured a mort-. gage upon their votes then and there by agreeing to pay the expenses of their campaigns. In this practice aloncr-for tain a^hlnt of causes which have led. on the one hand, Jo a steady moral and intellectual decline In the character of our" 1 appcatance of the "millionaire Senator" at Washington. A law limiting expenditures and requiring the publication of the use made of every dollar . spent would put an end to this doubly demoralizieg practice instantly, as it 1 would also to any attempt in a national election to capture the presidency by vo'cts in the so-called "close" Suites. By making the ballot laws so abolish Individual bribery at the polls, simply by making it unprofitable to lite requiring thrii publication, wo shall ' the briber into the light and within the reach of the law. The surest way to abolish bribery, in other words, is toiegvi iter, who may he Icmlped to tell his vote, but ngainst the man who tempts tiler wl. . has l^i found to be In all democracies the worst enemy of free govcrumint.- Prom "The Law and the Ballot," by Joseph B. Bishop, in SeribnerU Magazine for February. Tired of Matrimony. Wlntt is the whole duty uf a bride. groom whop, after llir wedding and the he finds himself alone with hi. bride in an empty railway compartterms of endearment, and possibly an oerasional caress, would not be considered quite out of place. This seems to have been the opinion of a young ladyother dny. t.9 »_iir. John Smith. The bride had not been married b fore, bul she was naturally surprised

and dUtree'cd by the proceedings of her , husband. They had scarcely left Ac. «. i-ringlon, when Mr. Smith settled liimslblc 'lhal Mr. Smith in rejiose is not a I pleasing spectacle. It Is possible that t Mrs. Smith was merely hurt by the stol. " of his demeanor under conditions , favorable to rliecrfuinoss. not to say en- * thusiasm. But it is certain that, for one j slipped quietly out of the carriage at the t first station, leaving behind her only a i slip of paper attached to Mr. Smith's ( coat tail, and bearing these words: ' "Tired of matrimony. Had enough of } it and gone home to my ma. Mary." — t The' Argonaut. < Self Respect. Self respect is one of the grandest and , best qualities that a human being can I ■ possess. Without it there would be no ' churches, no school-houses, no acadc- J ' tnies or Ro colleges. Ignorance would reign supreme, anil educatior would be- t in tbc negative. There would be no 1 ' ^ryjitt children, no loving fathers or ' • inotbcr.-rrtm friendly grand-falliern OS j ' grand-mothers. It Is an accomplish ■ mt-ni Jliiit tin one slioultl bo without. • Respect the young, respect the old, and , I you will be respected yourself. There , ' is a fashion existing among the middle- , aged not to respect the yonng. nor the , young to respect the middle-aged. * • | ' * The time is coming, for those who ] tlo not respect the old, when tlicy will ' lie in the same position that the aged _ arc in now. The old saying lie "Every ' dog has his day," and they will surely ' have theirs. • * • Self respect is brought on by pleasing manners, good Ighavior, and obedience. Soma of us ' hare loo much self-respect and think wears better than others because we ' arc well dressed, or because persons of 8 means associate with us. This doea not ' for us. Iiespect others and we skill be ' respected ourselves, and may we say, ' long live self respect and those who ' have it.— Lewis T. Stevens, in (Jirirer. i. A Deirborn farmer was trying to hire s some of the numerous loafers around the r Central Market to go out to hi* place t and husk com, and he finally found one - who had ioterest enough to ask: a "What wages ?" "I'll giro you fh per week and board." 'Is the corn in the barn or out in the field?' r- "Out in the field, but I'll set up a tent F and stove, and lay down a new Brussels I carpet for you." - "Do you have pie anil jtuddlng every . meal ?" !

' Why Canned Meats are Poison. c When people are poisoned by eating canned meats, I'. Is not because there was poison In the meat before the can was opened, bul because the meat bad t been allowed to develop the ptomaine poison of putrefaction after the can waa , opened, it waa not canned salmon, tbe „ other day, that poisoned a family that ate it with impunity the first day after it was y opened, but It was vslmon that a as spoiled by forty-eight hours' exposure to the hot and humid atmosphere. It is very rare that an v person is made rick by ipetalilc salts ih canned foodi. The . only metal that mty cause poisoning In the case of these foods is lead, and this It is as unlikely as the fslllng of a meteor on yonr head. It is not suppoaable that c lead is present in lite coating of Uw tin p'.alc. its nse for this purpose being 11r legal and productive of insignificant savIng. It is possible that poisoning may u occur from the solder, but it is highly in improbable from the way that cans are made — Good Housekeeper.
