The at feature of the parade will be the umbrella parade, representing a monster national flag, and concorning which the fol- lowing lines have been contributed by Mrs, S. A. Gambie of Illinois : A living flag! O, veterans gray, You've taught a wholesome truth today To careloss patriots here and thero, Who for our banner have no care. 1 bavo sald to lawless anarchy, his is the flag of destiny; No other ensign o'er shall wave Over the homes wo'd die to save.” 0, living flag? Our pulses thrill! Hopes brighier grow, our fears are still, When heroes covered o'er with scars Weave iuto life the “stripes and stars.” 0O, fiag, thou livest! Yes, T truce Lite's joys and sorrows on thy faco. Not deoper than tho life-drops shed To give thee birth, thy stripes of red! Not fairer than the martyred brow ‘That died for thee, thy waves of snow! The broadened field of heavenly blue Mirrors a spirit—strong and true. O, veterans, may the day ne'er como ‘When our dear flag, all cold and dumb, A thing inanimate shall lie, Dust,trailed, the jest of passers-by. Long life to thee, O heroes bold; This thought of thine to young and old An inspiration blest will be, O, “living flag " Long life to thee! Invitations to the war governors, ex-presi- dents of the United States, to the president and his cabinet, to the general in command of tho United States army, and to all notod living gonerals of the union army have been extended and in most cases have been ac- copted. The decorations of the city during tho reunion will _be something remarkable, both in extent and quality, as all the citizens have gone into the affair with a spontaneity and patriotic fervor unexcelled, as though to make the silver encampment the bauner event in the history of tho Girand Army of the Republic. "There will ba a reunion of the old *Mower Second Brigade,” composed of tho Forty- soventh Illinois' infantry, Bighth Wisconsin infantry, Eleventh Missouri infantry, Fifth and Ninth Minnesota infantry regiments and Second lowa battery, to take placo during the national encampment of the Girand Army of tho Republic at Detroit, August 3, 1801, The meeting will take place’ in the city hall unless otherwiso ordered. It is_expected that Generals Hubbard and A. J. Smith will be present. The Department of Kansas has issued orders notifying the veterans who attend from that state to meet at Kansas hoadguar tors, Hotel Normandie, room 9, at i o'clock p, m., August 8, for consultation and ovganiza- tion. The commander makes tho following suggestions to comrades attending the en- campment about bageago: Do not carey any unnecessary baggage. If & trunk is shipped, pack 1t closely and securo well by straps and make the airdetious clear and plain. Do not check valises, but carry them with vou on the train. Aftach a tag securely to each plece of baggago on tho outside, giving the name and rosidence of the owner, 1f these directious are carefully followed much loss of baggage will be avoided. Spesial preparations have been made by the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway 10 carty delogates and Grand Army veterans from the departments of lowa, Nebruska, Wisconsin and Minnesota. A rato of one faré for the round trip has boen made, and the Grand Army trains on this road will be scheduled to arrive in Chicago August 1 and 2 in ample timo to make connections with all trains {or Detroit. Suicide in Battle, A group of old soldiers gathered in the ro- tunda of the Kimball house, says the Atlanta Constitution, were telling stories of fleld and camp during the war, whon one of the num- ber gave the following graphic account of the suicide of a federal officer on the fleld at ottysburg v was th " said he, “I saw a federal ofticer, chagrined because nothing would stay the retreat of his men, raise his pistol to his head aud blow out his brains, It happened onthe second day's fight. Geueral Long- street had just come up with part of his corps from” Chamborsburg, Pa., and vigor- ously assailed Sickles' corps, which be was driviog back in great disorder.

When neral Longstreot and Colonel Freemantlo rode up they looked down at the brave unfon officer, but’ the tide of battle swept us on." Two Humble Veterans Gone. Two humble union soldiers have just died whose caresrs were not ordinary. Alexandor Gourly, who died at the soldiers’ home at Leavenworth, Kan., at tho azo of elghty- | nine, served throughout the war of 1812, the war with Mexico and the war between the tes, not to mention a number of Indian wars on the frontior. Gourly seems to have wado a business of military servico in a country which during his life offered rare and extraordinary inducements for men to follow tho paths of peace. The other case is that of John Abel of New Castle, Pa. Abel's regi- wert at Fredericksburg had just retreated across tho river, the story goes, when the colonel noticed that the flag had been left bo- hind. 1t was Abel who volunteered to return and suve the colors, He crossed the bridge of boats and entercd the town already full of confederates. Making his way to the ware- house where the tlag remained hoe seeured it unseen and then coolly picked out his knap- k from the pile stacked on the warchouse He was hotly pursued on the return a0d had to wade partly across the river, The foat made At rgeant Procession.

The London mansion of which Mrs. John A. Mackay, the American million- aivess, has just taken possession is one of the most remarkable in every way of those that cover the site of the histori- cal Carlton house, and is deseribed thus by a London paper: It was built origin- ally by the third duke of Leinster, and the present owner of the title sold it, shortly after his succession, to Mr, C. H. Sanford, a millionaire, whose ambition it was to possess the finest house in all London. Mr nford gave carte blanche alike to architects and decorators. For over two years the works went slowly on and just when their completion seemed at lust to be in view the Baring compli- cations intervened and Mr. Sunford found himself compelled to surrender the toy for which he had puid so dearly The negotiations did not take twenty four hours, and ‘Mr. and Mrs. John Macl instead of Mr, Sanford, became the neighbors of Mr, Panmure Gordon and Lord Pembroke, The entrance hall contains some of the finest decorative work ever n 1 England. The first hasa ceiling of blue and gold, whi's the walls are pan- eled with slabs of pink Soudanese mar- bl e divided by stutuary pilastors, and broken only by a fifteen century Italian chimney piece.
