A Wonderful Scrap Book Unearthed —Some Relics of the Days of 1801. H'ruh i itgton Letter to Burlington Free Free*. The most curious relic among the ar chives of the Confederacy is the scrap-book of designs for the Confederate flag. Those designs were spntto the Committee on Flag* when Provisional Congress first met at Mont gomery, and they came from every State of the South. Only a few of them are pre served here, and CoL Boteler, who Was a member of the Confederate Flag Commit tee, tells me that the number of designs re ceived ran high into the thousands, and that they filled a box as big as a piano top. These were captured at Richmond with the other Confederate archives, and specimens of them have been selected and pasted in this old scrap-book. The book wae origin ally a volume of Confederate Treasury blanks, and you may seethe ‘‘promises to pay” here and there peeping out from under the many-colored flag; which ornament its leaves. It is a ragged volume 18 inches long, 12 inches wide and as thick, as a man’s fist. Its paper is faded and its covers are worn: the corners aredog-eared, and it bears the evidences of its twenty-five year of handling. One cunured and twenty-nine designs for a Confederate flag are pasted within it, and these are of all sizes, shapes and colors. Some are n . larger than a visiting card, others are the size of this newspaper and several are of the full size of the ordinarv regimen tal flag. These last are made of cloth and the coloring upon them is of the brightest paint The design which I here give you with a rattlesnake upon .it is us large as "the sheet of a baby's crib, and it looks as though it might ha\e been made of some such ma terial! Its thirteen stripes are of red and white, and upon them are seven red stars and crimson crescent moon. This rattle snake has a skin made up of black and yel low diamonds s(<ote, and there was a motto: "Don't tread on mo—.t is certain death." This design was sent to Robert Toombs, and in the letter accompanying it the wr.te says: "The white stripes represent the seven States of the South and the red one show that if they are oppressed they will fight for blood. The rattlesnake represents the Con federacy. If you come near him he wall sing out with his rattle. If you do not leave, and dare to tread upon hun, it is cer tain death.” Nearly all of these designs are accom panied by letters. Rome are addressed to President Jefferson Davis, some to Alexan der H. Stephens, some to Robert Toombs aud a great many to William Porcher Miles, who was the Chairman on tho Committee on Flags. All of the letters are full of feeling, aud all glow with loyalty to the new gov ernment. Some are'written by ladies, and not a few of the designs are furnished bj them. The ladies’ letters are the most earn est aud enthuiostic. One Georgia women says she dedgnad the flag which she sends herself and that she hopes tho Confederacy ‘will secede peaceable, but whether peace ably or not, it will sere ie.” A South Caro lina mother pathetically says, dating her letter Feb. 10, 1881, that she has given three dear boys to her country, and hopes the young republic will honor the memory of Washington by dating its organization from from Feb. 22 and calling it the Washingti ;n Republic. She writes just as she hears tbe news that Mr. Davis lias been elected Presi dent. and closes her letter by saying that the Southern Confederacy has the sympa tliiee of every Southern women, wife, mother and maid, ami that she glories in be ing a woman of the South. Other letters propose that the new gov ernment be called Allegbenia, and the great majority of designs are modeled after the flag of the Union. There was a very strong desire among tile Southern people to keep as much as possible of the old flag, and this desire is seen in most of the letters. One lettei which is dated Washington, Feb. 20, 1881, beseeches the committee bv all that is sacred to stick to the Stars and Stripes. It says: "You have fought well under our glorious banner. Could you tight as well under another. Never. Alter it, improve it as you will, but, for heaven’s sake, keep the Stars and Stripes.” Another letter begs that the Stars and Stripes will not lie given up to the North, and lifter saying that “the songs of the nation and its flags have a prodigious moral in fluence,” it goes on: “Keep the stars! Keep the stripes! Keep the azure field and then add a red cross—the Southern cross—cut ting the stripes at right angles.” This Southern cross is found in many of the designs, and it. ranks with the palmetto tree and the lone star as a prominent figure. Some of the ladies’ designs aie very curious, and Fome are made of different colors of silk and satin neatly stitched together and with little stars sewed upon them. In some cases the designers hail not the paints to work _with, and they have mode their ' designs of different pieces of colored pajier cut into shajies and pasted together. Here the red, white and blue predominates, and the stripes and stars in nearly every ease permit the addi tion of new emblems for the new States as they come in. One of the ladies’ flags is IS inches long, and it consists of three series of two stripes of red, white, and red atiove and below abroad stripe of blue, upon which are sewed seven white stars. These seven stars represented the seven States which had alivady seceded. Rome of the designs are vpry grotesque, and, coming as they do from all classes of jieople, it is not strange that in some the sublime should tramp very closelv upon the heels of the ridiculous. I give you design 41, which was sent to Jefferson Davis from Coffeeville, Ala., hut I cannot paint, the wrath with which the colors seem to swear at, each other. The design is large enough to cover a good-size library table. It is made of heavy drawing pa|>er ami is done in crayon. One part of the ground is blue and the other part a dirty yellow. On the broad blue part, which is supposed to be at tached to the pole, a big black eye is [minted, and orouml this, in the simp' of a crescent, which faces the front of the flag, are seven white stars. From the eye eight white strijies go outward, intiiuug'froiii blue into Iho yellow and there losing themselves. The letter which was sent with this design Is well written. It is (luted Feb. 23, 1881, and is addressed to ‘‘(ten. Jefferson Davis.” The flivt paragraph prays for tho prosperity of Ino Confederacy, and tire remainder of the letter is taken up with the desorption of tho Gag It reads: ‘‘Being a true Southerner, I have taken tbe liberty to sent to your care a minature Hag, the emblem of which I would like to ~ee adopted by our Provisional Congress as ihe ensign ol our Government.

They will send their latest publication (c *ll -i Rhoppell’s Modern Houses, No. 5) containing more than fifty designs, on receipt of sl. the enthusiastic writer when she wrote the wor in: Osyka, Pike Cos, Mo., Feb. 30, 1801. The Hon. Jefferson Davis , President of the Beloerd Southern Congress: Being n daughter of the South, I take the liberty iu sending you a model of a flag which I only hope may be received with warm I'eeiings. I'ne w hite ground is an em blem of innocence; the blue ring, lasting love; the centre, red; on which is placed a cross, represents a Christian nation; the crescent over the cross is our Southern Con federacy and the greeu star represent the even States, and as all these arc placed in a ring they represent one Union in the South ern Confederacy never to be broken. The name I have chosen is the “United Southern thinner. ” Please excuse the great liberty I have taken in writing to you, but, like Gen. Washington, you arc now looked upon as the father of the South, and I know will excuse all the lilierties the" Southern daugh ters take. May God bless the Southern Confederacy, and whichever model is taken for a banner may his rich blessings ever rest upon it, is the sincere wish of Mrs. . The women of the Southern Confederacy were as strong in the support of the govern ment as the men. They contributed to it by every form of self-sacrifice, and the talcs of their "heroism would make a fortune for a skillful novelist. From these designs and hundreds of others the committee finally made a report fora fla<;. This report was read on M arch 5, tell, and after a long preamble it stated that the flag of the Confederate States of America should consist of a rod field with a white space running horizontal to the centre i oual to one-third the width of the flag. The Union was to be bine and was to ex tend through the upper red stripe and white stripe, and in this Union there was to be a circle of white stars, in number as many as the States in the Confederacy. When "the report was read four designs" of this flag, made of cotton cambric and of full size, were hung upon the walls of the conven tion at Montgomery. The convention adopted them, and thus the ‘ -Stars and Bars’’ were born. Two hours afterwards the ladies of Montr eoinery had made the first Confederate flag. It was of merino, and was run up over the State House at Montgomery aud loudly cheered. The Stars aiuf Bars were not, how ever, a success as a battle flag. Gen. Joe Jobns-ton tells ine that it was to much like the Stars and Stripes, and that tho two could not be distinguished from each other in the lighting. Gen. Beauregard says that after the battle of Bull Run many persons of both armies thought thntfthe other side had put up the enemies' flag as a decoy, and after thus Johnston an.l Iteaui-egard de cid<4 to adopt anew battle fl ig. Johnston at first wanted each regiment \o use its State coloi-s, but this was found impraetioa able and another flag was chosen,and in this I tnink Gen. Joe Johnston had something to do with the invention of the design. The de sign as settl'd upon by him and Beauregard became the battle Hag of the Confederacy, aud it was afterwards adopted as such by the Confederate Congress at Richmond. This flag is known us the Southern Cross. It had a red field, with two wide olue bai-s running diagonally from one coi-ner to the other, ami bn these burs were white or gold stars equal in number to the States of the Confederacy. This was really the flag of the Confederacy, and it has more right to the name then the Btars and Bans. A de sign similar to it was presented to the Mont gomery Convention by William Poreher Miles, and there is such a design in this old scrap book. The Hturs and Bars, however, got the preference. They became known the country over as the Confederate flag, and they will probably go into history as such. A learned exchange declares that “Chris tianity and soap go hand in hand."

Without kite ten and cellar (which are included in our estimate, however), and set on posts' or briek piers there is a large reduction in cost. It is a good Southern house, also, wuere no cellar is wanted, and the kitchen is detached. Thiß is a good design for any climate, however, and for a permanent residence. It is very showy, has plenty of light and air and a fine, wide veranda. There is a charming alcove in the front bedroom, also a stairway to the attic, where three rooms can be obtained if wanted. Our plans and specifications call for a kitchen and cellar in the basement, which can be modified, however, as suggested above. ABRAHAM LINCOLN. An Attempt Upon His Life is 1802— The Kidnapping Conspiracy. From the Wheeling (H*. Va.) Register. “I am reading with a groat deal of inter est Nicolay and Hays’life of Lincoln in the Century,'' said Mr. John W. Nichols, ex- Preaident of the Omaha fire department, to me. "The chapters that, will most interest me will be those relating to his career from 1882 to 1885, and particularly the history of the assassination. It is not. generally known that more than one attempt upon Lincoln’s life was made in Washington, but such is the fact.” Mr. Nichols’ statement interested me somewhat, and I asked him to explain. He then went on and told me substantially the following story: “In August,’ 1882, company K, One Hun dred and Fifth Pennsylvania Volunteers, of which Mr. Nichols was a member, was de tailed as lxxly guard of President Lincoln. Up to 1884, owing to the vigilance of tho guards, Mr. Lincoln escaped all attempts of violence. The back of the Confederacy were broken, a good feeliug pervaded all Washington, and vigilance was considerably relaxed. It was then conspiracies were hatched and Confederates ran the city un molested. The President aud liis family spent the summer months at the Soldiers’ Home, about three miles north of the city, whither the l>ody guard accompanied them. It was the i ui-tom of the President to re main late at the War Department, and after his work was concluded he would ride on horseback out to the Homo. That sum mer he had persistently refused an escort., imagining himself perfectly secure. One night about the middle of August Mr. Nichols was doing sentinel duty at the large gate to the grounds of the Home. Aboutll o’clock be hoard a rifle shot, and shortly afterward Mr. Lincoln dashed up to the gate on horseback. The President was bareheaded, and as he dismounted he said, ref erring to his horse: “He came pretty near getting away with me, didn’t he? He got the bit in his teeth before I could draw the rein.” Mr. Nichols asked him where his hat was, and he replied that somebody had fired a gun off at the foot of the hill aud that his uorse had become scared and jerked his hat off. “Thinking the affair rather strange," said Nichols, “a eoporal aud myself went down to the hill to make an investigation. At the intersection of the driveway ami main road we found the President’s hat—a plain silk one—and upon examining it wo discovered a bullet hole through the crown. The shot had been fired upward, and it was evident that the person who fired the shot had sec reted himself close by the roadside. The nextday I gave Mr. Lincoln bis hat and called his attention to the bullet hole. He remarked rat her ititconoomedly that it was put their by some foolish gunner ami was uot intended for him. 11c said, however, that he wanted the matter kept quiet, and admonished us to say nothing about it. Wo felt confident that it was an attempt to kill him, and a well nigh successful one. too. The affair was, of course kept quiet in compliance with the President’s request. After that tin? President never rode alone." Mr. Nicholas then went on to relate the circumstances of a kidnapping conspiracy which was attempted to bo carried out the next fall. This plan was unknowingly frus trated by the body guard, whose quarters were immediately in front of tho south lroh of the Executive Mansion, equidis tant lietwis-u that building and the Treas ury, State, Mar and Navy Departments. Just to the east of the quarters was the guard tent where a portion of the body guards remained on duty. For reasons t hen unknown to the guards the tent was moved to the west end of the grave! walk in the rear ot the War Department. Shortly afterward it was learned by the guurdthaton the very night the tent was moved a plan had beoil laid to capture the President as ho should pass along the walk, and carry him to the house of oue Green, on the bmk of the Potomac, back of tho White House grounds, and thence, when the op portunity offered, he was to be carried to Richmond and held as a hostage. It was always believed that the moving of the guard tent to the west end of the walk fright ened tho conspirators and thwarted tneir design. At another time, not long before this in cident. Bourke, the veteran coachman, who i.ad served through two administrations at the White House, was taken sick. A stranger from Baltimore applied for the place and succeeded in securing it in the absence of Bourke. He did not hold the place very long, however, as he became so domineering and important that he was in tolerable. Bourke was reinstated. One night, not long after he had been dismissed, the discharged coachman was discovered sneakiug about the stables, which was soon observed to he on fire. The whole guard was called out, and by great exertions saved the Presidential coach and team, but Tad Lincoln’s pony and Col. Hays’ carriage team perished. It was believed that a plan had been formed for this man to fire the stabled, and during the excitement conspir ators were to rush into the White House and murder the President. Mr. Lincoln, however, rushed out with the rest to the scene of the lire, and thus fust rated any at - tempt at assassination “What made this appear more evident,” said Mr. Nichols, “was the fact that after the incendiary was arrested to produced several witnesses who were employed at Ford’s Theatre, aud who testified that he (the discharged coaehmanl was down in the city during the whole even on which the lire occured. These were the persons who, in my opinion, laid the final conspiracy that brought Abraham Lincoln to his grave.” Alfred Sorenson. She Took It Back FYom the Chicago Tribune. It was 10 o’clock p. m. In the friendly shadow of the veranda stood Cornelius Me- Stab and Ramanth a Cracraft. The cool and refreshing breeze that wafts inward from the lake and makes existence a perpetual delight, in this favored locality toyed with the ringlets of Samantha and fanned the agitated brow of Cornelius. Ho was trying to control the wild iieating of his heart, and hide the tremor in his voice. “Samantha,” he said, as he,swallowed something that seemed to lx* a cannon ball in his thruat, "many years ago, when you were a little girl, you made me a present. It was but a trifle, perhaps, in your estimation, but, like a corner lot in Chicago suburb, it has increased in value a thousand-fold, and I now treasure that little present as the most priceless thing in the world.

A small girl industriously studying her lesson in American history came across an allusion to tue Shoshone tribe of Indians, and after a silent struggle with the word looked up wearily and asked: “Pnm, who ware the Shoehorn Indians, any way r—Bou ton bulletin. 'it A Darling-. From Fortran]. Two gentlemen, friends who had been parted for years, met in a crowded city ! thoroughfare. The one who lived in the city j was on his way to meet a pressing business | engagement. After a few expressions of de ' light, he said: "Well, I’m off. I'm sorry, but, it can’t Ibe helped. I will look for you to-morrow at dinner. Remember, 2 o'clock, sharp. ! I’m anxious for you to see my wile and I child.” “Only one child.”’ asked the other. “Only oae,” came the answer, tenderly, “a daughter. She’s a darling, Ido assure you.” And they parted, the stranger in the city i getting into the street car I >ound for the park, whither he desired to go. After a block or two a group of five girls entered the car; tliey were all young and evidently belonged to families of wealth aud culture—that is, intellectual culture—as they conversed well. Each carried a very elab orately deeorted lunch basket; each was at tired in a very becoming spring suit. Doubt less they, too. were going to the park for a spring picnic. They seenied very nappy and amiable until the car ngnin stopped, this time letting in a pale-faced giri of about eleven and a sick boy of four. These chil dren were shabbily dressed, and upon their faces there were looks of distress mingled with some expectancy. Were they, too, on their way to the park? The gentlemen thought so; so did tho group of girls, for he heard one of them say, with a look of dis dain: “I suppose those ragamuffins are on an excursion, too.” “I shouldn’t want to leave my door if I had to look like that. Would youf’ This from another girl. “No, indeed! But there is no ac counting for tastes. I think there ought to be a special line of cal’s for the lower classes.” All this conversation went on in a low tone, but tho gentleman had heard it. Had the child, too? He glanced at the pale face and saw tears glistening in the eyes. Then he looked at the group of finely-dressed girls, who had moved as far from the plebeian as the limits of the car would allow. He was angry. He longed to tell them that they were vain and heartless as they drew their costly trappings closely about them, as if fearful of coutaot with poverty’s children. Just then the exclamation, “Why, there is Nettie! Wonder where she is going!" caused him to look out upon the corner, where a sweet-faced young girl stood l>eck ouing to the car driver. W hen she entered the car she was warmly greeted by the five, uud they made room t'or her beside them. They were profuse in their exclamations and questions. "Where are you going f’ asked oue. “Oh, wbut lovely flowers! W hom are they fori”questioned another. “I’m on my way to Belle Clark's. She is sick, you know, aud the flowers are for her." iShe answered both questions at once, and : then, glancing lowarci the door of the car, she sa tv the pale girl looking wistfully at her. She smilod at. the child, a tender look 1 beaming from her beautiful eyes, and then, I forgetting that she, too, wore a handsome velvet kirt and costly jacket, and that her shapely bands were covered with well-fitted giovi a, she left her scat m.d croa*ed over to the little out s She laid oue hand caressingly on the boy’s thin checks and nskml interest edly of his sister: “The little boy is sick, is he not? And lie is your brother, I am sure, he clings so to you," It seemed hard for the girl to answer, but Anally she said: ns, miss jhe Is sick. Freddie never has lieen well. Yes, miss; he is my brother. We’re going to the park to see if twont [ make Freddie better.” "1 nm glad you are going,” the young girl replied, in a low voice, meant, for no one's I ears except those of the and addressed. “1 tee! sure it will do him good.

You ought to have a lunch after so long a drive.” Over the little girl's face came a flush. “Yes, miss; men be we ought to, for Fred die’s sake; but, 3'ou see, we didn't have any lunch to bring. Tun—he’s our brother— he saved these pennies purpose so as Freddie could ride to the pork and back. I guess mebbe Froddie’ll forget about be ing hungry when he gels to the beautiful park." Were there tears in the lovely girl’s eyes as she listened? Yes there certainly were, and very soon she asked the girl where they lived, and wrote the address down in a tab let, which she took from a beaded bag upon her arm. Alter riding a few blocks the pretty girl left the car, but she had not left the little ones comfortless. Half the bouquet of violets and hyacinths was clasped in the sister’s hand, while the sick bov, with radiant face, held in his hand a precious package, from which he helped himself now and then, saying to his sister, in a jubilant whisper: “She said we could eat ’em all—every one —when wa get to the park. What made her so sweet and good to us I She didn’t call us ragamuffins, and wasn’t afraid to have her dress touch mil's; and she called me ‘a dear,’ she did. What made her?” And Sue whispered back: “1 guess it’s cause she’s beautiful as wall as her eiotnos—beautiful inside, you know.” The gentleman's ears served him well. lie beard Hue’s whisper, and thought: “Yes, the child is right; the lovely voting girl is ‘beautiful inside—beautiful in spirit. Mhe is one of the Lord's town, developing in Christian growth. Bless her!" When the park was reached, the five girls hurried out with laughter and merry talk. Then the gentleman lifted the little hoy in his arms and carried him out of the*oar across the road, and into the green, sweet smeiling park, the sister, with a heart full of gratitude, following. It was he who paid tor a nice ride for them in the goat-carriage, he also treated them to oyster soup at the park restaur-ant. Upon his return to the city he was sur prise and gratified to see in his car the kindly young girl who hail so tenderly re membered the “least of these." Again he saw her light shine—only a cheery word or two to a poor, trembling old woman, an orange to a fretful teething child, who was torturing his mother and every one else in the car. until the orange soothed l’.is hot gums and turbulent spirit only thi.se little tender services, and vet how plainly they stamped her as the Master’s own! , At 2 o’clock sharp the next day the two gentlemen, as agreed, metagain. “This is my wife," the host said, proudly intrdueiug a comely lady, “and this,” as a young lady of fifteen entered the parlor, “is my daughter, Nettie.” “Ah!" thought the guest, as he extended his hand in cordial greeting, “this is the dear girl who I met yesterday in the street car. 1 dowt wonder her fattier calls her a darling.
