A living Hag I O , veterans gray ,
You'vo taught a wholesome truth today
To careless patriots hero and there ,
Who for our banner have no caro.
You have said to lawless anarchy ,
' This is the Hag of destiny ;
No ofhor onsien o'er shall wave
Over the homes we'd dlo to savo. "
O , living flag ? Our pulses thrill 1
Hopes brighter grow , our fears are still ,
When heroes covered o'er with scars
Weave into life the "stripes and stars. "
O. flog , thou 11 vest I if os , I truce
Life's Joys and sorrows on thy face.
Not deeper than the life-drops shed
To glvo thco birth , thy stripes of red I
Not fairer than the martyred brow
That died for theo. thy waves of snowl
The broadened Held of heavenly blue
Mirrors n spirit strong and true.
O , veterans , may the day ne'or como
When our dear Hag , all cold and dumb ,
A thing Inanimate shall lie ,
Dusttrailcd , , the jest of passers-by.
Long life to thee , O heroes bold ;
This thought of thino to young and old
An inspiration blest will bo ,
O , "living Hag 1" Long life tothool

A group of old soldiers gathered in the ro
tunda of the Klmball house , jays the Atlanta
Constitution , were telling stories of field and
camt ) during the war , whan ono of the num
ber gave the following graphic account of
the suicide of n federal o 111 cor on the Held ut
Gettysburg :
"It was there , " said ho , "I saw n federal
ofllcor , chagrined because nothing would stay
tbo retreat of his man , ralso bis pistol to his
head nnd blow out his brains. It happened
on the second day's tight. General Long-
street had just rome up with part of his
corns from Chamborsburg , Pa. , nnd vigor
ously assailed Sickles' corns , whlcl ) ha was
driving bacK ! 'i great dUordor , Sickles
halted and formed Ills men in line /to receive
Longstroct's onslaught. }
It wss ono of the few times JJovor saw
corns commanders at the front IIIIOA Sickles ,
with is stuff , was riding among Mils men ,
cucourayluj ; them to withstand 0 o confoder-
nto fusnult , whllo Longstrcot , with his staff ,
nnd Colonel Frccmantlo , an English ofllcor
and correspondent of the London Times ,
were cheering our boys to the charge.
"Wo advanced and gave the federal * a tcr-
rlllc volley nt close ran go. They staggered
under the galling lire , when Longstrcot or
dered us to glvo them the bayonets. As the
men wavered and broke to run , an ofllcor
ntoppcd to the front , and with his sword sig
nalled them to como back. Again and again
ho waved to his men , but by this tlmo they
were In full run , ami the ofllecr , In his angry
mortification , raised a pistol to hi * head ami
fired. When General Longstreot and Colonel
Frcomantlo rode up they looked down at the
bravo union ofllcer , but the tldo of battle
swept ns on. "
Two Humble Veterans Gone.
Two humble union soldiers have Just died
whoso cnreors were not ordinary. Alexander
Gourly , who died at the soldiers' homo nt
L avonworth , Knn. , nt the nso of eighty-
iiino , served throughout the war of 1812 , the
war with Mexico and the war between the
states , not to mention a number ot Indian
wars on the frontier. Gourly seems to have
made n business ot military service In a
country which duringhls llfooffercd rare nnd
extraordinary Inducements for men to follow
the paths of poacO. The other ease Is that of
John Abel of Now Castle , Pu. Abel's regi
ment at Frederlcksburg had Just retreated
across the river , the story goo , when the
colonel noticed that the Ilucr had been loft be
hind. It w.vs Abel who volunteered to return
nnd save the colors. IJo crossed the bridge
of boats and entered the town already full of
confederates. Making his wnv to the wurc-
house where the Hair remained ho secured it
unseen ami then coolly picked out bis knap
sack from the pile stacked on the warehouse
lloor. Ho was hotly pursued on the return
and had to wade partly across the river. The
feat made Abel a sergeant.

Walter Storm Ula'loie ,
There I Iconics :
Hark ! The llfcs' uncanny cry ,
Line an cairlo's from the sky ;
And , beneath , the heavy roll
( How It thrills my very soul I )
Of the drums.
Through the trees ,
Glance a row of bayonets brlcht ,
In the shimmorlnit "summer light ,
Shining bolts on coats of blue ,
There a Hag Is Hying , too ,
In the brcczo.
In the van ,
( While I wait beside the wav ) ,
Battalions pass in bravo array ;
Ranks as true as rifle shot ,
Shoulder-knot to shoulder-knot ,
Man to man.
At the roar ,
In the pluco of honor there ,
Who are those with whitened halrl
Theirs is not a line so true ;
Theirs arc coats of faded blue ,
Heroes , hero.
Overhead
Hangs n ragged battle sheet ;
Trembling lips that symbol greet ,
Of the remnant hero today ,
Ah the host that inarched awayl
They are dead.
A Hot
New York Sun : "Was It a hot day ! " said
a Bull Run graduate in reply to a question
put by his son. "It was a scorcher , that same
July 21 , 1801. But wo were all young follows
and didn't fool it. I belonged to n Mulno
regiment that had two ofllcors killed nnd forty
oail men killed and wounded that day , and
you can bet It was hot where wo woro. At
4 o'clock In the morning I sat un my horse
with my regiment drawn up each side of the
road to lot another brigade pass by between.
Pretty soon I heard my name called , and
Johnny Simonson , Clove Wlnslow , nnd a
dozen other boys from Statcn Island came up
and shook hands with mo. They belonged to
the Seventy-first regiment and wo had been
boys together. Somohours afterward I stood
upon a caisson of Ayor's battery
in the center of the field and watched
the Sovonty-lirst deploy In line of battle and
engage the enemy. They never paraded
more handsomely on Broad way.nnd as n Now
Yorker I wanted to take oft my hat and cheer.
The flro was terrible but the boys never
flinched , and in view of the fact tnat the
term 01 tholr enlistment had already ended ,
tholr performance on that day was magnltl-
cent. Yes , it was a hot day. but nobody on
that Hold asked whether it was hot enough. "

"Thirty years ago today , " ( July 21) ) said a
veteran soldier who is also a newspaper man ,
"I was wounded nnd captured at Bull Run.
It happened that I was taken to a Hut in the
woods nnd was not reported lor several days.
Missing and supposed to bo dead , my obituary
was written in half a dozen newspapers , and
1 had the satisfaction of reading several that
were sent to mo at Llbby prison. It Is not
every man who survives his obituaries by
thirty years. "

the most remarkable in every way of
those that cover the site of the histori

the present owner of the title sold It ,
shortly after his succession , to Mr. C. II.
Sanford , a millionaire , whoso ambition
it was to possess the finest house In all
London. Mr. Sanford gave carlo blanche
alike to architects and decorators. Forever
over two years the works wont slowly on
and just when their completion seemed
at last to bo in view the Baring compli
cations Intervened and Mr. Sanford
found himself compelled to surrender
the toy for which ho had paid BO dearly.
The negotiations did not take twenty-
four hours , and Mr. and Mrs. John ,
Mackay , Instead of'Mr. Sanford , became
the neighbors of Mr * Pamnuro Gordon
and Lord PombrolfOc

filled with a star-snapod ( lower , the
potulu of which are composed of pearl
shells.
The Henry II dining room Is deeply
papered with mahogany , tha margins of
