(When MnJ Anderson took possession of Fort
Sumter, the whole command assembled and knelt
Mound the flagstaff while tho chaplain offered
prayer, previous to tbo raising of Uie.tUR.J
The gray light of dawn o'er tho rampart waa
stealing,
Whero Bumter Its atem rocky walla lifted high,
Aad ipread lu aoft haze o'er tho noble there
kneeling
jkad Towing their flag to defend or to die.
The low toIco of prayer morning stillness waa
breaking,
As solemnly bowing a blessing they craved.
Then rose a glad shout, all the echoed awaking,
As, proudly unfolding, their flag o'er tham
waicd.
Hurrah for tho banner thus boldly left flowing
And flinging Its bright stars and stripes to th
sky;
Hurrah for tho heroes, no flinching o'er showing,
Who'll guard It unstained, or lu death coldly
lie.
Dear flag of our country, shall focmen assail yo
And every bright drop In our hearts fall to
bum?
Shall rebels beneath you o'er beat their rovctllo
And wo not In triumph their lnsolenco spurn?
By the graves of our fathers, who died In do
fending
Thy fame, to their deepest affections so dear,
And whoso voice from their grass covered hil
locks ascending
la eloquent pleadings for theo wo now bear;
By tho future which stretches In rlita bofore us,
By the echoes which sound from a glorious
pat
In purity still shall thy folds yet wave o'er us,
Or, drenched hi our Ufo blood, enshroud ua at
last.
It Is u Curious I net
That the body isnowmoiosusceptable to ben

Tlio Omalm Her of Wednesday, gives tlio
following interesting lilt of railroad gossip:
"Thero It ft Kiinio of chess going on between n

Hurllugton & Qiiiney nro piny lug ono Mile, tho

mid not ii disinterested one either hut tho sort
of n HnecMtor who is willing to hold tho stakes
wagered on tho gamo for u small fraction
thereof, nay 50 er cent.
The lite of u fow days since contained tho
announcement that tho Chicago, llurliiigtou
& yulncy had decided to nso tho Union Puci
llc for it transcontinental business from
Choycnno westward. An yet It in understood
that this applies only to freight ImslnetiH hut
thoso who uro in n jiosltion to know contend
that putsongor travel Im to follow in n very
shot t spaco of time. Of course this leave tho
Denver !& Hio Urimdo without an eastern
connection mid tho only income tho road can
derive is from its local business. It is indeed
n inovo calculated to "check" no it wore. In
return for this sending of freight and iMUwen
gent over tho Union l'nclllo westwurd tho lat
ter road Is, so it 1h understood, to send ltn
freight and passenger trulllc eastward from

in a southwesterly direction through to Fnlr

will give tho Hio uiundo equally as good

one of Omaha's most prominent vocalists nnd
with such recommend and from such n source
