Edmund Randall, Who was all through the war of the rebellion as a Pennsyl- vania volunteer officer, tells an interest- ing story of how successfully a game of bluff was played by the coniederate Fitz Hugh Lee upon a regimental commander from Philadelphia, now dead. The southerpers were in sore straits, sur- rounded upon all sides, it seems, and un- able to find an avenue of escape, just after the battle of Gettysburg. Within their lines was an orderly who had been ralsed at a fort surrounded by perpendic- ular cliffs near the Pennsylvania bor- He told the rebel general that if could strike that particular place there would be a fair chance of escaj providing there were none of the ener near by. A recounoitering party re turned with the report that the coast was clear, but that the men would have to pass through in single file. The con- federates prepared for the movement and were soon on the march. As they reached the ford they were astonished to tee on the cliffs above them a r ment of union sold with arms stacked and bayonets glistening in the sunlight. Lee was in a trap unless he could re- sort to bluff. Reining in his horse he summoned a corporal to bear a flag of truce to those above him. It read: *'I demand your surrender in fifteen min utes.” Then taking out his wateh he waited with bated breath after the re- turn of the truce l , fearing ev minute that the union forces would op fire. Ten minutes wentand then twelve when suddenly the drums began to beat upon the cliffs and the northern men marched avay. The rebels could scarcely realize that they were saved. In con- federate accounts of the war the state- ment is made that not a man could have escaped had the Philadelphia com- mander opened fi In the reportof the latter particular mention is made of the masterly retreat of the union regi ment, whereby it escaped complete hilation by the rebel army. s st e und ear, Barker block. e rue National Color, York Sun: An interesting dis- cussion has been going on in the Sun in regard to Ireland’s true national color, This subject was very fully threshed out in the Dublin newspay about ten years ago, and it was then conceded that the national cold® of Iveland w. light blue.

The color of the ribbon of the Riiights of St, F ok, an order instituted about 1782, is light blue. All this, hc has nothing to do with the place which Ireland has in the anion jack. ' A correspondent in the Sun of “today meously says that the blue in the union jack represents Ire- land’s part in the fag The original s+ of England was the St. George's eross, which was white on a red ground.

The ride was through one interminable pine forest, which, however, is bei fast thinned: the turpentine farmer's “blaze” may be seen on almost every tree, and the saw- mill, with its burning slab-pit, is a fre- quent object in the landscape.

Boginning in the very heart of that mystery, the cle- { vated Okeefenokee swamp in southeast- ern Georgia, the river secures a south- western trend and, after devious wind- ings, enters the Gulf of Mexico in Flor- ida. It is never a great river. A school- boy can ‘skeet” a rock ac it any- where. In many places he can wade and in some he can almost leap it. “In some places it flows between broad savannahs, in others it winds through the vastness of the swamp; in others still, as at White Springs, it flows darkly between precipitous ban It has its shallows and its rapids, where the dark waters bréak into a myriad facets. And it has 1ts deep, cool recesses, where the long gray moss hangs thirty feet to touch its inirror, and the inverted palm- etto gleams prettily up from its depths. But everywhere it has picturesque- ness and mystery, and there ave the charms of the Suwance. No man h ever seen its source. No man will eve clear its growth and leave it naked. hundred years from today the davk rive, will flow on under its overlapping trees and the kingfisher hurl himself into its placid flood.” This description is a com- prehensive one, though not without a perceptible flavor of the enthusiastic guide book whence it is taken. It only remains to be added that the waters of the river appear to be as red as wine in the shallows and as black as ink in the deeps—a peculiavity of the streams in this pine country. "There seemed a brooding molancholy about the Suwance and the mossdraped 085 falling leaf. It followed one in the lonely wal it haunted one while squirrel hunting in the scrub oak forvest: it pursued one even to the dining table, where, however, there was doubtless cause for melancholy the year round This region was visited in the last century by William Bartram, the first learned American botanist, who writes glowingly of the ovange tree, the live oak and the Magnolia grandiflors In his preface to the quaint old book, which 5 devoted to his travels in the south At- antic states and was printed in Phila- delphia in 1791, the author spe himself with something of a flou the “son of John ram, botan the king of G inand fellow of the Roy: There is an inter- esting mention in the work of the great moruss in southeastern Georgia, from which the mournful Suwance draws its life, and which is not a great distance from White Spring: A vast drowned swamp,” suys Bartram, ‘‘u mother of rivers—called by the Indians Ouaqva- phenogau.” This Ouaqvaphenogau, the Ecunfinocaun of White's *“‘Statistics of Georg (published some fifty years | later), and the present Okeefénokee “trembling earth’—ave evidently but | ing transcriptions of one Indian »otanist refers to several Indian legends connected with the Okeefenokee, one of them picturing the remote in- terior of the swamp us a high and dry land, and one of the most blissful spots of earth, where dwelt beautiful women called daughtevs of the sun.

The two invalids started off nd morning for a boat ride on the viver. A young negro had been engages to do the rowing, but when the wal edge was reached his clumsiness excited suspicion, and he was ordered to row across the .am alone in order to dis- play his talents. His talents were not of the first order, for he was soon help- lessly dvifting down stream.
