For gallantry In notion at Shiloh. John Ma*-*hall was promoted to lien- tenant of artillery. How lie saved battery M. Fifth regiment, is a matter of record in the war archives at Wash­ ington. It Is not that which this article has to treat, but a subsequent and even greater exploit. At various times and places one of the JuutnatH young men had heard of what John Marshall did at Lookout Mountain referred to, and so one day he made up his mind to have the whole story from the veteran's Hps, Accord­ ingly lie started, hunted him down, and cornering him, vowed lie would give him no peace tint 11 he liad a full and reliable account of how he shot the flag oft Lockout Mountain.

Itlght on the point of the promontory the rebel signal corps had a flag station established. From this point nil of Hooker's maneuvers could lie seen, and intelligence Immediately telegraphed by menus of the signal flag 10 General Bragg. Thus it will be seen that it was desirable to shoot away that flag. Across the Tennessee at Moccasin Point the six 10-ponud Rodmans of the Eighteenth Oliio battery were pUnted. Job 11 Mnrehull was lieutenant of the Eighteenth Ohio battery. He could see that flaunting flag of the rebel sig nalsta:ion as it waved Its Intelligence day by day, ami it taunted him. He ki'ew he could cut It down with one of the Rodman guns; but Ills captain frowned on Ills presumption fit pretend ing to know more than his superior officers; for had not General Bran 11 an. Chief of Artillery of the Army of the Cumberland, fild 'hat It couldn't be done? What business had a lieutenant to boast himself of being able ta do what the chief of artillery had declr red officially could uot be done P For that flag had annoyed others be­ sides Marshall- It annoyed those high in authority so much that, at the in< stance of General Hooker. General Brnnnan, Colonel Baruett and Major Meudenhall came over from Chatanoega with the expre«« purpose *f ascertain* ing If a gun could be trained from Moccasin Point so as to send a sliet that would humble that taunting flag. They came t>< the unanimous conclusion that it was impossible on account of the great elevation. John Marshall watched the estimat­ ing w*th Interest, and when the con­ clusion was announced he stepped up, and touching his cap In military style, said to General Brawtaa: "General T' '•Well, sir?" *'If yon will give me permission to try. I think I can shoot that flag off therer The genera] looked athim sternly a moment, and then said:. "Go to your quarters, tlr. tUlder ar­ te s» !" But this was not the end. The Eighteenth buttery was attached to General Whittaker's brigade, and bluff General W hi raker took more stock in Marshall than did the austere Brannan. lie had a fellow feeling with him. too; for the flag was a thorn in the flesh to hint. Every morning he would take his glass aud look to see if the flag was still there, and invariably as he took the glass from his eyes a big, big, epithet exploded wratlifully from his lips. He was wont to talk with Marshall about it. "Marshall," he would say, "You are sure you can slioot down that flag?" •*I cau, sir." "But, you know what General Bran­ nan says, Marshall ?" **1 do, sir. But with *11 respect to General Brannan, I maintain that I can do It." One night Whittaker Mnt for Mar­ shall to come to his headquarters. When he got there he aald: "Marshall. Tve been to Chatanooga to-day and I've signed my name to 9600 for you." "Signed MOO for mef that for.

It was in the cf t! following year that James Rod Drake, one of the earliest and and to-morrow morning you shall make our American poets, composed the trial." John Marshal went back to his quar­ ters that night a happy man. He was now to have an opportunity to Show that he could do as much as he said. He felt tlie how of his triumph approach- ing. In the morning, after breakfast. Gen­ eral WhlttaKercame down to the Point* Marshall was already there. His gun squad were in perfect drill, for he had shown them so often how he would do It If he could only get permission, and lhey had taken so much Interest that each man was proficient In his part. The general took his place where he could watch the effect ol the shot. He wa« a little anxious. "Now, Marshall," he «ald. "be careful! Don't you explode a gun, and kill me, yourself, aud a half dosen men." "Never fear, General." responded Marshall, confidently, "I'll hurt no gun. Now watch where the flrst shot goes.% Everything In readiness. Marshal) pulled the lanyard. General Whitta­ ker took the glasses from Ills eyes, and said. "Too liljfh, Marshall; too*liigli! It went a hundred yards above the flag," "Yes sir, I know that; and the next shot will be fifty yards above it." And the next shot was fifty yards above It. "Now, General, this tlm« IM1 fetch the flag." The gun boomed. General Whittaker looked and looked for the flag. At last he burst out, "By -- Marshall, she's gene." In his delight he forgot the distinc­ tions of rank. and. handing his glass to a private of the gun squad, told him to take a look. The soldier did so, and corroborated the general. The glass passed around, and all saw that the flag and said: "Marshall, my man, I con­ gratulate you. I'm going right over to Chattanooga and tell General Brannan that the Eighteenth Ohio battery knows more than he does." General Brannan was an honorable man. If a strict officer, and when he heard that Marshal! had succeeded in shooting the flag, he sent liiin his con* gratulatlons, and commended him for his skill. But General Whittaker en­ joyed Marshall's triumph more than did Marshall himself, and he always after­ wards treated him with great consider­ ation and favor, and he would rub his hands and laugh with the intensest of relish whenever he had occasion to re­ late how Lieutenant Marshall, of the Eighteenth Ohio battery, knew more of practical gunnery than the chief of ordnance of the Army of the Cumber­ land. and had forced hi 111 te take water 011 an opinion. apostrophe to the Amer'ean flag, which* although It has never attained the popularity of Key's rather ft verses. Is the most vivid concej the beauty and elgniffcance of Ch« tional colors that lias ever been penned* j Written more than sixty years ago, ̂ when the final adjustment of Itll e i g n c o m p l i c a t i o n s s e e m i n g l y * - Ised permanent security to tl^ lie, how prophetic. In the light of othe# I events, seem the following linen: ••Flag of the brave! thy fioldsvlHiil iy, v ll The sign of hope and trinmpit-Aflfeli. -a Wh<-n speaks the signal trnmp*t tone. ffl And the long line come* gleanaiegon; S Ere yet the life-blnod, warm«wf wet, 111 Has dimmed the glistening tatyopet, Each soldier eye shallMtlgMirJipW To where thy sky boariionMMii,^ And, a* his springing step* Catch war and vengeance ti .

Little did the poet think, liowevor, that th* day would come when tlx* hand of an American would be raised against that flag, and that It would re- quire the sacrifice of thousands of Uvea to unfurl it again over an nndl* vidci country. But preserved It was --not a star missing from Ita asnro fielt!--and It Is with a feeling such at the poet never could have known, that Americans to-day exclaim: "Plaf of the tree heart's hapoaM love, g By angel hands to yalor ffrenv Thy stars have lit the welkin dome.

There Is not a child in the whole United States, we suppose, who does not know that the thirteen stripes in the American flag are symbolical of the thirteen States that composed the original Union, and that the stars in its azure field represent the number that now compose it, yet we fancy that few of their elders even could tell. If they were ask«d. how and when this device caine to be adopted as 'the national emblem. Nay, more, we sus- ptct that of the millions who have snug the "Star Spangled Banner," In peace and in war, still lewer are aware that it was not uutil four years after Key bad cornpos ed Ills immortal an them in the Dungeon of a British man of war during the futile bombardment of Fort McHenry, that the stars and stripes actually became the flag of our country. The facts concerning its ori­ gin are as follows: In 1794 Congress passed an act declaring that the flaj; should be composed of fifteen stripes and that the Held should contain fif­ teen stars, and It so remained until the year 1816, wheu the Stato of Indiana, having been admitted Into the Union, and it being evident thai to add an­ other stripe to the flag would make It too unwieldy. It became necessary to consider the propriety of making some alteration In the design. A committee was accordingly appointed and Capt. Samuel C. Reid. the hero of the famous naval duel between the American brig General Armstrong and the British fleet at Fayal, in September, 1814, was authorized to prepare a new design, which should retain the essential char­ acteristics of the old flag, while doing away, at the same time with its cmtf- brousness. This he sucuecded In doing by reducing the number of stripes to thirteen, and making the stars in the union ot the flag representative of the number of States in the Confederation* a new star to be added ou the Fourth of July next following tho Admission of any uew State, This modification of the old design rsoeived the approval of Congress, on th« 4i& of ^iU Mvnth/^jor JMM#, habitants of a tornado-freqnentfd * trict must be watchful in the season of . visitations, for he can never know vita ' the destruction will come upon htm. 1 On the first sign of the approaching ' vortex, he must run--always to th* j north, unless by jt«>lng in that direction , he will have to cross the entire pnth of the storm. If he is nearer to the south* eru edge than to the center of Urn | probable path, he may go south* bear- Jft ing slightly east; but In uo event ihMti lie ever run directly* to the eaat of J northeast. It Is impossible to save anjr | building that may lie In the path of ^ tho tornado or any property that can. | uot be got out of its way. No material* n« method of construction, cnu be com* | peteut to resist the raging destruction. . | Nothing rising felxive the ground cai% escape It. The most practicable mens- ,jt nre of precaution Is to construct a "dug? out" at some suitable point, within T| easy distance of the house, to serve as A. place of refuge or shelter. The retreat should be entirely underground with A^;| roof at least three feet thick* not rising;. above th<» surface of the earth, and en- | tered from the northern or eastern sid-. . | A "cellar-cave" may be constructed from the ceilar. if the house has one, tot^ serve as a substitute for the "dug-out.** /1 It should be excavated from the westf-1 wall of the cellar, toward the west, antlh j| should be made as complete and seenro as the * dug-out." If however, the storm cannot be escaped. If no refuge is hand, or there Is no time to get to it., the safest thing to do it to place one's self against the west wall of the cellar, face forward,or againit the south wall, as near the southwest corner as pojslbio The northrast quarter Is in any oase fatal position, aud should always bo ,:.| avoided. If one is actually overtaken " " by the tornado, his only resource is tn oast himself face downward upon the ground,' with his head to the eaat an4 his arms thrown over his head to pro­ tect It. If a stump or larsce stoae, or • anything heavy that the wind will not blow over, he may get a trifle of pro- ^ tectlou by throwing himself to tho eastward of It. If In a house with no cellar, he should get luto the weat room, on tho ground floor If ponlbls, aud ^ away from all stovea and heavy fund- [_.j ture. The people of towns might find It to their advantage to provide for 1 having a watch, to be on duty 00 all days when the air bears premonitory symptoms of a violent wUdatorm to; give a algnal to th* whole population •p the appearance of* the first real threatening signs.
