The following thrilling history of the memorable battle flag of the -1th Ga. Kogi- ment was prepared by Capt. W [C.Matthews, aud as the battle scarred flag was unfurled to the audience, was read as part of the inter, esting Memorial exercises on Monday. The gallant ensign Mntphy, who bore it on so muny battlefields lrom .Seveu Pines to Get tysburg, was present, and was the recipient of special courtesies from the Ladies' Memo rial Association and tho audience generally. The readers of the Herald will road with pleasure the history ol this revered morneu to ot the days that tried men's souls. TUli HISTORY. This battle flag was once the standard ot the 4th Ga Regiment, Doles Brigade,Rhodes Division, Stonewall Jackson's Corps, Leo's Army, Northern Virginia, and tbits gentle, man. Ensign Murphy, of the 4 h Git. Kepi in cut carried It ami another one all through tho war, Ovur the gallant .South with its stall grasp- o I in the strong bunds of this gentleman then a mere hoy, this flag floated and flutter c-1 iu the hreez.os from Portsmouth up York River iu tho famous Peninsula Cam paign, receiving then, on the York liver its first baptism ol fire. Over its regiment it waived ut vVillumshurgh, at 8»vou Pines, in the seven days fight a month later com mencing ut Meohaniosville and ending ai Malvern Hill. ,t onue had a stall made ot walnut, highly polished and mounted aud above its folds a polished spear. At Malvern Hill this stall Was shot in two just above the hands ol the man who was carrying it. Grasping itahovi ttie break he hold to ll aud waived it aloft .iguin the staff was cut in twain above his hands and again he giasped what was lett ol it; still again the stall was shut iu two just below its folds hut the gallant Ensign, him- sell unhurt, grasped it higher up aud boro ii ou to victory. After the light lm careful ly gathered up the pioces ol tho staff, amt Col. Doles, then Col. of the regiment, had them put together and hound ut each break with silver hands. This stall was then sent to Milledguvillo and is now tu the armory ol the Baldwin Blues, u sileut hut oloquenl ineulo ot gallaut deeds by gallant men. Prow Richmond on to Manassas, Chantil ly. and thouco across the Potomac to Freder ick City and hack to llurper’s Ferry and thence hack across tho otuuiuo to the bloody battle tlohi of ishurpsburg this flag was borne. At the latter place at the close tho battle iti which tho -lUi Ga. wus nearly annihilated, u devoted handful al night lull were still rally mg and lighliug under its folds, which was still Haunting defianoe (o the toe. At Freduriuksburgh and Chau- cellomilltf It was III the thickest ot the light At Gettysburg!! it was among tlio first tlag- that marked our line of battle as it omurgnh lrom Seminary Ridge and through tho oity ol GottyHburgh,witU victory perching on it.it was borne in pursuit of the fleeing Yankees At Spotsylvania, Grant made snob a heavy assault with such greatly superior numbers ou Rbodos’ lino that we were toreed haok.and our Ensign here, as tho lino was retreating was seriotiBly wounded. Realizing that the llag was about to lull into tho enemy’s hands although unable to get up, lie lore this lisp lrom its stuff' and folding it up hid it undot his gray juoket, throwing tho staff as tar lrom him us he could. The Yankee line Hushed with viotory passed over him, never lor a moment suspecting that beneath that jacket of gray was u trophy that would hav been highly prized uud would have addod to their laurels. Later iu the day tho tido of battlo was changed aud Gordon’s gallaut Georgians .re took tho lmo and reouptured our ensign aud his flag. Alter this battle another flag was substituted tor this one, aud it was sent to Mrs. Doles at Milledgeville for sate keep ing- When .Sherman came along ou his fumous march to tho sou, this llag was quietly res,- iug deep down in a well just above tho water behind the well curbing aud escaped capt ure. When Mrs. Dolus died sho gave tho flag hack into tho kooping ef Eusigu Murphy tooling assured that a man who had been wounded livo limes in carrying it, aud who hud so nobly protected it in the storm ol haitlo would he tho proper custodian ot it in tlio iulure. This, my friends, in briei, is the history ot this battle llag. Like tho survivors who marched under its folds, it is battle scarred with bullets ot more than a score of battles Like the men who once rallied around it ami swore it should forever wave,it hears the im press oi ago and hard usage. Undor its lol ls, alas, how many bravo spirits, whose memories, wo this day pay tribute to, have lighting tell uud lulling fought. 1 his is a iao simile ot all the battle flags of the Coulcdcrate army. A bonnier flag never led u braver people; wherever it fluttered to re were honest hearts behind it, daunt less spirits around. Wherever it waived, in bright folds or buttle stained, it lent glory to the air. From the day it flamed before victorious legions on the plains ot M.nasBus until the day when Lee’s starved and ragged veterans closed about it in des pair at Appomattox and lifting their grim and gaunt faces to where its tattered bravery still streumod, it never saw a moment ot dishonor nor caught a taint of shame. liuunio Flag !—Emblem of it cause though 1-ist, still to memory dear. You ouuoble all who followed—and the knighthood of your starry cross shall forever endure and carry its heritage of glory us long as heroism has its worshipers and martyrdom holds its memory.

C-, April. 27, 1891. Senator Reagan’s resignation to accept the ohalimanHhip of the New Texas Railroad Commission, while it bad been nisoussed among his friends as a possibility ever stnen the Commission was erouted, was neverthe less a genuine surprise to the public, aud the naming of Mr. llornco Chilton as his sucoes- sor was a still greater surprise. General John O. Black, ex-CommisBioner ot I’eusionH, is visiting Washington, and lie does not deny that in cortain contingencies liis name may he presented to the Democra tic National convention next year by the Illinois delegation. He was a candidate before the convention for Vice-President in 1$88. If you presented a check at a hank and it was paid in dimes and nickels you would naturally suppose that thn cash iu that hank was running v, ry low. Well, the Treasury, which when it eauie into the bunds of the republicans a little moie than two years ago ooutainod a cash surplus ol more than a hundred million ot dollars, is now depositing in National banka subject to ita checks for ourrent, expenses tlio small silver currency that lias aooamnltacd during several years, and it has to pajf’the hanks to take it too.

Justice. Uiddlovllle, April, 28th. A Faith Cal Lovr. They relate to us from Boulogne* «nr Mer. in Franco, a remarkable incident of fidelity. A Danish princess, ouo of those fairy beauties of the north wtw seem to draw their peculiar charm turn the im-lnnchoiie splendor of thnir climate, one of those Ophelias, with limpid eyes as the bluish crystal of the Scandinavian lakus, itad a friend, faithful, devoted, loving, patiunt, whom she Ims deserted in a moment of forgetfulness. Leaving suddenly, when ascending the outside bridge to the steamer, she forgot her friend, the most faithful companion of her yonth, a splendid black dog, with beautiful dark shining hair; from that time the i>oor aunruxl, standing erect over tho fences of the mole, barks furi ously after the waves, jumping joyously as soon as can be perceived afar tho smoking shaft of a steamer, which lie always thinks will bring back ashore Iris beloved owner. He is always waiting, hopeful and above ail true and faithful, though con- kolated itml potted by the gloved luuid of the beautiful and romantic English misses who gave him sweet names, end ing him “Oli, you dear, faithful friend. Sweet boy.” And over t here, afar, afar in tho north, the fairy Scandinavian feels some inexplicable want. Some thing is missing to her; she does not kuow what it is; it is tho unconscious regret of tho faithful companion desert ed afar.—Baltimore American. SuhMcribeti or NuporMrllml. Many are the pitfalls which lie in tlio path of the man who sits down to make liia will. In a caso recently tried in tho probate court tho witnesses were stated In the usual words to havo “hereunto subscribed their names,” but it happened that these witnesses’ signatures were written in the margin and somewhat higher than those attesting words. Hence arose the grave question, Could a signature bo Haiti to be subscribed when, strictly speaking, it wus superscribed? It is easy to conceive a judge of rigidly logical tendencies who would havo de cided that there had been in this case no proper attestation. Fortunately Sir C. Parker Hutt, forti fied by a decision of Lord Campbell, de cided that, though it might seem a strange interpretation to put upon tho word "subscribe,” to hold tliat writing tho witnesses’ names above tho testator’s signature in tlio margins was a com pliance with the act, yet in the eye of tho law tho word “subscribe” “simply means signing tho name without any reference to its position on tho docu ment.”—London News. Marriage or Two llllml ronton*. The ltev. William (4. Herbert, pastor of the High Street Methodist Episcopal church, was called upon Thursday night to unite a blind couple in wedlock. They were Mr. TV. Tuck Lovely, of Annapolis, and Miss Mary Lee, of Bidtimore county. The marriage was performed ut the bride’s homo, und was witnessed by sev eral relatives. Mr. Lovely, the groom, is young and has a beardless face. He is a piano tuner. The bride is young and handsome. She is an accomplished per former ou the piano and is well edu cated. Doth were educated at the Mary land School for the Blind, aud it is said that the courtship begun while they were in that institution.—Baltimore Hun. Pity the mind.

JAS. DALY & CO. Successors to Daly <Sc -Armstrong;. Novel ItirU Story. When Mr. Andrew Young returned from Alaska last fall he went out, to his ranch ou Young’s river to dig his pota toes. Passing a hollow tree he noticed several bushels already gathered. Flo looked around the patch, hut saw no signs of anyone having disturbed the ground, and to solve the mystery watched the tree. Ho was soon rewarded by see ing a flock of bluejays alight on the tree, and each bird had a potato in its hill, which was dropped into an opening in a limb and passed on down to the ground. Ho procured sacks, and as fast as ono was filled another was put at the place, aud in this way tho birds harvested fifty bushels of potatoes for him from various patches around tho country.-—Astoria (Ore.)
