Tho Stars rnd Stripes Is a familiar object; everybody has seen nnd admired it, and no wonder, for It Is the handsomest flag in the world. Iled, white and blue those niter, nate red and white stripes In beautiful con. trust with the blue field bedecked with stars, as though a pieco of tho sky had been taken to add moro beauty to our national emblem, which makes it in truth, "The Star Spangled Banner." Fifty mill. Ion people of this country honor, love, re vero and recognize tills flag as tho nation. al ensign. The little child plays with it as a toy and tho strong man forsakes liomo und family, and, if need be, lay down his life to protect Us honor. Its muto clo. queuco needs no aid to Interpret its slgnlfl. cancc. Fidelity to the union blazes from its stars, alleglauco to tho; government beneath which wc live is wrapped In Its folds. Every nation has its symbolic en sign. Some have beasts, birds, llshes, or reptiles in their banners- Our forefathers chose the stars and stripes, the red telling of the blood shed by them for their coun. try; the blue ol the hcaveii3 and their pro tection, and the stars represent a constella. Hon of States. Tho idea was taken from tho constellation Lyra, which signifies har mony. The blue of tho field was taken from tho edges of the Covenanters' banner, significant of the league and covenant against oppression, Involving Uio virtues of vigilance, persevcranco and justice. Tho thirteen stripes nud stars showed tho num. ber of tho united colonies. The whole was a blending of the various ilag3 previous to tho Union flag the red one of the army and the white one of the floating batteries. The red color denotes danger and defiance and tho white purity. The first flag, com. binlng thirteen stars and thirteen stripes, was 'made by Mrs. John Ituss, in the small two.story hnuso still standing, at No. 239 Arch St., Philadelphia. General Washing. ton himself mado tho drawing, and, in company of a committee of Congress, call ed upon Mrs. Itoss and engaged her to make tho flag. Tho flag thus designed was adopted by n resolution of Congress, Juno the 14th, 1777. In consequence of the ad mission of Vermout and Kentucky into tho Union, an act was passed, early In 1704, increasing the stars and stripes from tlilr. teen to fifteen. But Uncle Sam's domain Increased, and, as new states came Into tho Union, further changes becamo necessary, Accordingly, on tho 4th of April, 1818, an act was passed entitled "An Act to Estab lish the Flag of tho United States," by which tho number of stripes was again fix, ed at thirteen and tho number of stars at twenty, to represent tho number of states then In tho Union, with a provision that ono star be added on the admission of every now state. By this regulation tho thirteen stripes represent tho number of tho States whoso valor and resources origin ally affected American Independence, and tho additional stars mark tho Increase of tho states slnco tho adoption of tho Con. stltutlon. Under this law, the past sixty, nine years havo witnessed an lncrcaso In the constellation of "OurFlag" from twenty to thirty-eight stars, and Its dominion has extended until It now waves from tho At. lantlo to tho Pacific, and from Behrlng's Strait to the Gulf of Mexico. Its brilliancy may bo soeu at every sea port on tho Globe; It has penetrated sixty miles farther Into tho frozen regions of tho Arctic ocean than any other flag dared to venture; It floated from tho mast-head of the first steamer that over plowed tho waves, and It was under the shadow of Its glorious folds that tho Atlantlo Cablo wa9 laid, and America brought within speaking distanco of tho Old World. Is it any wonder, then, that fifty million peoplo bow nt its shrine, lhat strong men will lay down their lives In its defence; that lovlug mothers will offer cherished son as u sacrlllco for its protect. Ion, or that (ho affectionate lover will tear himself from the arms of his sweet-heart to rescue it from disgrace? W. E. Lotz. DEMOCRAT, BLOOMSBURG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA. DEATH OF DAVID LOWENBEES. Bloomsburg has never experienced n greater shock than it did on Wednesday morning when tho nows of tho sudden and unexpected death of David Lowenbcrg was nnnounccd. For somo months Mr. Lowenbcrg bad been In poor health, but has been nblo to attend to his business. On Tuesday evening ho seemed well nnd in good spirits, nnd spent most of the even ing In pleasant conversation with his family and friends. About ten o'clock ho said to members of tho family that ho would go to bed, nnd wont to his room. Mrs. Lowen bcrg followed soon nftcr nnd they retired. Ho complained of feeling badly and at about n quarter of eleven ho began cough, ing nnd strangling. Other members of the family wero aroused by tho noise, nnd went to his room to find him struggling for breath. Oscar went for Dr. McKclvy, but he expired beforo tho doctor's nrrlvnt. He was cutlrcly conscious, nnd realized that bis end was nt hand. Though suffer- lng Intensely nnd dying from suffocation, his thoughts wero still of his family, nnd with his expiring brenth ho said, "My chil dren, bo good," and then with ono last "Good-bye" his spirit departed, and nt eleven o'clock nil that remained of him was his lifeless body. His wife nnd all tho chll dron, except Louis, who was in New York, wero nt his bedside, nnd they were stunned nnd speechless from tho nwful blow lhat bad fallen upon them. It was Impossible for them to rcallzo that tho beloved husband nnd father, who so short n tlmo beforo was so bright and cheerful, now lay In the cold embrace of death. Mr. Lowenbcrg was one of our most public spirited citizens. He was Interested In nil that pertained to the progress and welfnro of tho town, nud chntltj and llbcr- nlity wero among his many excellent traits of character.

He was a delegate In every Democratic National Convention since 1804, with the exception of 1872,when ho was an elector on the State ticket. He has frequently been n delegate in Stato con vcntlons, and this gave him the acquaint anco of prominent men all over tho Stato, Probably no man In Columbia county had more friends than Mr. Lowenbcrg. He was Arm and true, and never failed to use every honorable means to ndvanco tho cause of any ono In whom ho wns Interested, Ho wns n shrewd politician, but just as honest and fair In politics as he was in his business relations. A Hebrew by birth and education, bis liberality was not bounded by tho narrow confines of relig ion creed, and many Christian churches wero tho recipients of favors at his hands Mrs. Lowenbcrg, four sons and three daughters survive him. Tho entire com, munity mourns with them in the sad be reavement, for nil aio afflicted.
