MRS. GATES’ EXPERIMENT.
From one of the trains that came
roaring and tearing into Blithedale sev-
eral times a day a lady alighted one
November morning, whose character-
istics were an unmistakable city air
and a general aspect of never having
been in Blithedale before. She was
not sure, so far, that she would care
ever to be in again, for the New Jersey
town did not impress her picturesquely.
She objected both to the redness of soll
and the matter-of-fact expression of
the houses,
Yet Blithedale was always described
as “*a place of resort” in summer and
early autumn, and “within easy access
of the city: but the last of Novem-
ber is an unfavorable season for such
settlements, when the green, leafy
glamour of summer has vanished and
the bridal veil of winter has not yet
been thrown over the scene.

THE STARS AND BARS,
The Standard of the “Lost Cause.”
Prior to March 5, 1861, the seceding
states had no national flag. The day
President Lancoln was inaugurated at
Washington the southern congress had
adopted the stars and bars and on that
day it was first flung to the breeze from
the state house at Montgomery. Prior to
this the state flag had been used by the
teveral seceding states. The first flag
raised in the confederacy is in the flag
collection at the war department at
Washington. It is a Palmetto flag, and
is said to have waved over Charleston
mm 1861. A palmetto tree of eight
branches 1s sewed upon its center, and
it has eleven red stars surrounding it,
with a rising red moon at the top.
On February 4th, 1861, the secession
convention of South Carolina, Missis-
sippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Georgia
and Florida met in the old state-house
at Montgomery, Ala., and proceeded to
organize the Southern Confederacy.
Jefferson Davis was elected president
and Alexander Stephens vice. president,
and the convention adopted a constitu
tion and chose the Confederate flag,
ceived letters and designs from all parts
of the south, and these are now hidden
away in an old scrap-book among the
Confederate archives in the war depart-
price.”

Tolling the Bell.
The following account of the origin
of the custom of tolling the bell on
boats passing the tomb of Washington
was given at a meeting of the Washing:
ton Literary Society, by Dr. Toner:
“This token of regard, it is said, origi-
nated on a French merchant vessel
which had been to Alexandria for a
cargo, and going down the river after
Gepers! Washington's death, but be-
fore his interment, placed its colors at

The stars and bars were, however, a

a battle-flag for our forces.” Designs
were asked for, and one presented by
Colonel James B, Walton, of Lousiana,
was chosen, This design was origi
nally oblong but General Johnston mod-
fled it by making it square, and, so
modified, it became the baitle-flag of
the Confederacy. It was in September,
1861, adopted by the Rebel army of the
Potemae, and shortly afterward, with
slight modification, by the other armies,
In 1863 the Confederate States adopted
it as the union of its new natwonal en-
sign,
This battle-flag had a red fled, with
two wide blue bars running diagonal y
from one corner to the other, thus form-
ing the Greek cross, On these bars
were white or gold stars equal in pume-
ber to the states of the Confederacy,
The design was substantially the same
as the one presented to the Montgomery
convention by Willian Porcher Miles
when the stars and bare were chosen.
It Is known as the “Southern Cross,”
and was the only flag in general use by
the southern troops during the war.
The Confederate congress, in adopting
it as the national! flag in May, 1862,
added the white field, that it might be
of use upon the sea. But square as it
was, this design was such that it could
| not be reversed as a signal of distress,
| The white field, on trial, wasalso found
open to objections. It made the flag
| liable to be mistaken for a flag of truce,
and at a distance it lookea much like
the English white ensign. To remedy
these faults a broad red stripe was
{ added to the end of Lhe flag, and this,
st national flag of the Confederacy,
was adopted by the senate at Richmond
in February, 1865,
