A Plea for I lie ItHttln flags. t^roin the Kansns City Journal. ^The captured battle tla^s, having for rears lieen on exhibition in tjie Wl;i- der hnildiusa;, near the War Depart­ ment. are being packed away In boxes, as ilie space they occupied is required for other purposes. This storage means ttnal"obliteration, and not so long a time will accomplish what rats, til.ice and roaches failed to do. In the name of the noble list of martyrs who I'eli t" save and capture these relics, may not some oilier disposition be made of liirin ? An elbow friend sug­ gests that the Union flags be returned to the organizations--if they exist -- who lost t lie in in the reverses of bat­ tle; and flie rebel trophies to their regimental organizations. We say* ho. Did any nation in huniau history eyer jjive hack"the colors around which the rebels rallied ? Uod forbid! If we haru't room in t'>e ninseiim buildings in Washington,-just give the Grand Army of the Kepuhiie a chance to erect one especially ior their reception 'and for v National Mecca," where Grund Encampments nitty annually convene at the National Capital under their own.fruit-tree'; where the muster-roll -- growing greallv less every year--mat' be called; and as the feeble cdio of the past comes down the. corridors of .tiihe from the mustrr-roll responded to In heaven, these precious souvenirs may stand in glass cases--living witnesses of a gr*?at and glorious struggle for perpetuation of the free Republic--to remind t-s that there vyere patriots in those days. > Take 'them up tenderly, liar'Hc with er,re In tattors so slenderly, in saiods tiiey lay there. » In teal's and blood stepped, r - ;- Witii woe and SOTOW heaped.

The resriment 6upp«>fting the batteries lay prone upon the earth very still, while our artillerr returned the enemy's tire. The tdiells cume •creaming over nnd into the regiment, not singly, uot n« skirmishers, but as If in columns. It was the first Iwtttie of .the regiment, Hetween the brief pauses of joadUig :ind Uriug, the men could hear the sharp eotumands of the cqnfederate ofHceis, "l.oad an«i fire"* It was the mouth of hell or gate cf lie*veII formally of liieni. The ilien shlvei*0(l UIkI thrilled; it was .appalling, yet it, was glorious--to be living tills niliiitte and jitfssilily dead the next. That was their situation, Ollicer after ollicer, soldier after sol­ dier, were Mruek and heard no more on earth. Ijt-'wjjs awful. Tile wounded uioamtd stul cried for water; the living --well, some trie'd to pray; some shut their eyes and shivered as the shells came crashing through ; the cracking of the flames consuming the .Chancellor House were clearly heard. What uid they feel or fear, those men being slaughtered score by score• What vis­ ions of eternity, on the dreary edge of winch they were, flashed tip in their souls? V\hat did deatli mean? ^Vait till you arc there to know. But In that regiment, being^rspldly thinned by (he shells of the confeder­ ates, I romenvber a man nnd his COH> duct. Ho was first corporal,and dressed the company on the right. Tall he was and goodly to look upon, a fanner's lad Irom Pennsylvania. We heard a voice, strong, clear, serene, coitldent; we looked, aurf then on the right of the company, sitting upright, tlrm, while all of us b y down flat, we saw the cor­ poral. llis face was cold, a smile played over his features. He was so cold, so serene, tie seemed to be look- injj away heyoiul the enemy's lines to something we djdr.ot see--to be utter­ ly indiflerent - t6 lh<» death-dealing shells. Here is what 1 heard from this corporal amjd the carnage of the bat­ tle: "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in lime of trouble; therefore will we not fear though the earth be removed and the mountain wliii are cous^ie nt inns and hone*t lite discharge of their duty, have m* eann st commendation, and such I shall delight to honor; hut there are. unfor­ tunately, too many whose cnndiirt in this respect has lulled lorth this order, sijiid such will do well to heed tl<«* warning herein addrewd to tl*em.

They propose to re­ quire of the apprentice 58 hours a w*e'< of work in the shop an l nlno hours of study. The tenn of approntlceshlu for those hegititling to learn a trade wrh* sre under 20 years,of age is six ye*r« In which time under thi* system.

Thos» who are over 20 year* of ago are allow-, ed to finish their apprenticeship In IW* years, an I those who have worked in a shop nrejadvanced according'to pron- oiency. All applicants are taken from four to twelve weeks on trial, and IC not sat 1 factory are then? dismissed. The'rates they pay for labor range from five to twelve cents per hour, de­ pending upou agM and years of appreit* tlceship. The firm also pay two cents per hour additional.into a reserve fund which is paid to those apprentices who finish their full term of appren­ ticeship; for six years this ammonnts to 8400.

Dr. I'aMon.] I remember when the fight was on and the field \vas lost, nnd a beaten and broken army were falling back at Chancellorsville. I reniember n regi­ ment of soldiers in position behind batteries of artillej v near the Chancel­ lor home. The wounded cried ptteons'y for aid; the shells crashed through the woods; it was an hour of dread and despair for the Union soldiers, or exul­ tation and fiepe for the confederates. All the troops had fallen hack in dis- order.---a new line was being formed mora than a mile to tliti rear. The The Kmbosileinenc of Time"^-Commis­ sioner Dudley's Circular to His ClorKs. The-following circular addressed hy Commissioner Dudley to Ills clerks telU Its own story: DEl'ARVMKVROKTHE IVTERIOR, PKXSION OIFICE,November 11,1882 CIRCULAR. 1 am very sorry to be compelled to call this marked, attention of the em­ ployes of tins office to an evil that if there is power enough vested tn me, and I think there is. .shall no longer re­ main as a "tig ill a upon this office. In return for the pay you receive for your--Services.. 'you owe the Govern­ ment and the almost despairing claim ants before-this office six and one half •hours of holiest, industrious lafior every working day, except Saturday, and live and one-half hours on that day. and any encroachments you make upon' that time lor any purpose, or upon any ex­ cuse, save only actual sickness &rleave of absence, is'at the expense ot your personal h<»nest v. Now, von would not wish it known 10 the country and its defenders that the liflet n .minutes at morning and at noon to get from the street to your xiesk |s taken by you from the time which is theirs; nor would you like them to know that the half hour allowed for lunch is extended to'nearly an hour bj' your eating luuch when you should be,rtt work, and spend­ ing the lunch-time OR tlie street. Would yon wish claimants who are wail ing and hoping t ha! you will settle their case* £oon, r that the winter wolf •may ho kept from, the door, to witness the cut ire cessation of work which with many too often take place at quarter past twelve ami quarter before lour-each day. that you may be out of 'the oflice at i"2:30 ind 4 o'clock? Hereafter each clerk or employee must allow himself or herself ample time before office hours to enter tiie office ami be al his or her desk so as to lake up work promptly at a and 1 o'clock, ahd not lay it down until 12:30 and fyur o'clock. And 1 simply have this to say. that this office will here­ after have no use for any clerk, exam­ iner or reviewer wild will not devote to the work of ihn office six -uid one- half hours each day. except Saturday, and live and one-half hours' on that day. , No-example is furnished by n single officer of litis bureau <or tiie reckless waste of time, which it is my -Intention by Kris circular order to put an end to, nor can mere be any reasonable excust; ottered for it.
