The great union flag, raised by command of Washington at Cambridge, Jan, 2, 1 originated in a comb nation of ideas, de- rived very gradually from the cross of St. George and the saltire of St. Andrew, through the British Union Jack and com’ mercial flag, and immediately from the standard of the Philadelphia Light Horse of 1774, now the Frst Troop Philadelphia City Cavalry; and the star-spangled. ban: ner arose from the Continental great union flag through the replacement of the British “quarter,” or “union”” by the American “quarter” or “union’ of thirteen white stars upon & blue ground, That the Amer- fcan flag really dates from May 23 or 24, 1776, was shown by means of the story of the ' Widow Ross (Betsy Griscom,) who made in Philadelphia the first star-spangled banner; and the narrative of the cruise of the brig “Nancy” of Wilmington, Del,, Capt. Hugh Montgomery, who was the first that ever raised in a foreign port the star- spangled banner, which he fought under and preserved at Cape Island, N.

On the day following he sgain saw the same countenance, and ventured to spoak to its owner, The instant the two veterans heard oach other’s voices, that instant they recognized and called oach other by nawe. kneir faces and forms hed changed, but their voices were the same, The man whom Captain Rensom had recognized was Mr, W, K 7 of 8t, Johns, Mich,, & veteran of the 231 N. Y, Light artillery and both members of Rurn. side’s famous oxpedition to North Carolina. After the first grootings werd over, Captain Rensom said: Tt hardly seoms possible, Sage, to seo you in this condition, for I thought you must have been dead long ago.” ““Yes, I do not doubt it, for if T am not mistaken, when we last met T was occupying & couch in the hospital, a victim of *Yellow Jack' in its worst form,” “I remomber. The war scoms to have caused more misery since ita close than when it was in progress,” replied the Captain, meet old comrades frepuently who aro suffer. ing terribly, not so much from old wounds as from the malarial poisons which ruined their constitutions,” “I think so myself. When the war closed 1 returnod home and at times I would feel well, but ever: weoks that confounded ‘all- gone' feeling would come upon me again, My nervous system, which was shattered in the service, failed me entirely and produced one of tho worst possible casas of nervous dyspepsia, Most of the time I had no appetite; then aga 1 would become ravenouxly hungry, but the minute T sat down to eat I loathed food, My skin was dry and parched, my flesh looso and flabby. I could hold nothing on my stomach for days at a time, and what littlo I dill eat failod to assimilato, I was oasily fatigued: my mind was depressed; I was cross and ir teblo and many a night my heart would pain me 80 I could nut sleep and when I did I had hornid dreams and frightfal nightmares, Of course, these things came on one by one, each worse than the other.

This remarkable preparation, which I consider the finest tonic and stomache restorer in the world has overcome all the evil influences of malaria, all the poison of the army, all the traces of dyspepsia, all mal-assimilation of food, and indeed made a new man of me.” The Captain remained silent for a while evidently musing over his recollections of the past.

In July of that year it was within 62,000,000 iles of hoth earth and sun, and its tail wai computed 1o be 12,000,000 miles in length, Donati's comet, discovered in 1858 had a tail 40,000,000 miles long, and its main hody very nemly collided with Venus.

According to Pliny, some Phenician merchants, having landed on the coast of Palestine, near the mouth of the River Belus, were preparing for their repast, and, not fnding any stones | ! on which to place their pots, took some cakes of nitre from their cargo for that purpose. The nitre heing thus submitted to the action of fire, with the sand on the shore, they together produced transparent streams of an unkuown fluid; and such was the origin of glass, This statewent, with variations, is re- peated, on the authority of Flaviue ose- phus, by Pallisy, in his “Trate des d.aus et Fontaines ;- “Boine that, the children of Israel having set fire to some forest, the fire was 80 fierce, that it heated the nitre with the sand, 50 s to make them melt, and run down the slopes of the hills; and that 1h rward they sought Iollnrodm e arti~ ficially what had been efiected by accident in making glass” EE ~THURSDAY, MAY 8, 1854 7 Breaking the Golden kule, Richard Grant White discusses interests yin the New York Zimes, the disposi- 08 of certain persons 1o e nncharitable in speech and actions towards others with whom they have no relationship, and who have never done them the slightest injury, oftentimes not being acquainted by sight. He says: = “Thie canse of such enmity is ono of the mysterics of human nature. -~ Such enmity would seem to evidence that in some hearts there is a spring of spontancous malignity. There is an offense known to the law as malicious mischief, hy which term is meant those injuries, gencrally toproperty, which are done apparenily without any other motive than that of a wanton desive to do mischief to others, And these offenses aro often committed by those who would not readily be guilty of a serions crime, or even of asin, A woman who would not steal a dollar ora yard of silk will, in mere malice, ruin another woman's silk gown, if she can do so with, as she thinks, no chance of heing found out. The other woman may not have done her any wrong, hay not be even her rivaly but for some teason undefined to herself, perhaps even unacknowledged, she hates her, and it is gl to hier 1o seo ‘that woman’ handsomely apparelled. ‘The philosophy of much of this embit- terment. ho suggests in this paragraph: “In a word, cuvy, sheer envy, makes active, malignant enemics, Vanity wound- ed, not through intention, but by the mere successful display of superior abllities, rankles into hat It is essential that success should attend the manifestations of superiority; for nothing is o grateful 10 some minds, nothing i so soothingly upon some souls, a8 the knowledgo that a man whose strength they feel, but do not, acknow ledge, has made a vain effort o riso above their own level of medioerity Success of & person, in the sam| of society with a detractor, to a de, ceeeding that of the ofitnder, might also be mentioned as a prompting to violence of words and deeds, Jealousy of anothes pood fortune has its illustration all about US—S0me. very amusing at times, others equally sad, We all know such cases.” —— ome Doubt the Bible And the m tives of its authors, but none who have used them doubt the efficacy of Burdock Blood Butters. 'This splendid blood tonic is without a peer. The Colossus of Rhodes. Tn the days of its prosperity, the capito of the islana of Rhodes—"the City of tle Sun,” a8 it was poetically called—is said 1 have been adorned with 3,000 statues and upwards of 100 coloseal figurea; of the lat- ter, one was distinguished as the “the Colos- sus -of Rhodes,” which was one of the Beven Wonders of the World. It was erected with tie, 1 which Demetring left behind him when he falieq the seige which he had so long earried on against the: city, and the statue was w to the Sun, the tutelar deity of Rhodes. It was, according to Pliny, the work of Chaves of Lindus, & pupil of Lysippus. - Its height was twenty cubits (about 106 feet,) the cost of its erection amounted to 300 talents (ahout £70,000), and the time consumed in its construction was iwelve years. Fifty~ six years after its completion (224 B. ¢.) this” stupendous statue was thrown down by an carthquake; and in Pliny’s time, it was still lying on the ground, & wonder to behold. Iew persons, he s: could em- brace the thumbs, and the fingers were longer than the bodies of most statues; through the fractures were seen huge cavi- ties, into which immense stones had been placed to balance it while standing. 1t is asserted to have spanned the eutrance to the harbor of the island, and to have ad- mitted the passage of vessels in full sail between its wide stretched legs: :nd, al- though no old representation of the statue exists, the historian Rollin, several French dictionaries, and encyclopiwedists have adopted the above description of the won- der. Yignere is supposed to bave been the {irst who ventured to make an imaginary drawing of the Colossus. Chevreau added alamp to the right hand of the statue. Du Choul further adorned the Colossus by giving him a sword and lance, and by hang- ing a mirror round his neck, “in which,” it is added, “ships might be discovered as far off as the const of Egypt.” The Count Gouflier, about the year 1780, however, declared the Colossus with the outstretched legs to be fabulous; as did the Belgian Colonel Rottiers, and our geologist Hamilton ; but they placed the statue at the entrance to one of the small harbors of Rhodes scarcely forty feet wide. “Rot- tiers,” says Delepierre, in his “Historical Difficulties,” published in 1868, “goes even further, and gives a superb engraving of the Colossus, under the form of an Apollo. the bow and quiver upon his shoulders, nis foreheud encircled by rays of light, and a beacon-flame over his head.” The statue, according to Delepierre, was erected on an open space of ground near the great harbor, and close to the spot where the pacha’s seraglio now stands. This explana- tion is still further supported by the fact that a chapel built on” the ground, in the time of the Templars, 15 named Fanum Sancti Joannis Colossensis, Strabo, who wrote and _traveled during the reigns of the first two JRoman emperors, is, after Polybius, the earliest author who meutions the full of the Colossus, Pliny enters into fuller details. Towards the end of the second century after Christ, some writers speak of a colossal statve at Rhodes as still existing, and Delepierr thinks it possible that “one was construct~ ed, but of smaiier dimensions. Indeed, Les Allazzi tells us that the Colossus of Rhodes was reconstructed under the Em- peror Vespasian.” And, a long time after the fall of the Roman empire, the island of Rhodes was conguered by the general-in- chief of the Caliph Othman, in the seventh century of the Christian cra, when, we are told in Byzatine history, that “the general took down the Colossus which stood erect on the island, transported the metal into Syria, and sold it to a Jew, who loaded 950 camels with the materials of his purchase,” which statement disposes of the story that after the overthrow of the Colossus, Greece and Egypt offefed to contribute large sums to restore the figure ; but the Rhodians de- clined, alleging that they were forbidden by an oracle to doso.
