PINEHURST OUTLOOK
aUAlWT IV A II TIME ENVELOPES
Some Sketches and Inscription Used
During: the Ilehellion
From down in the bottom of an old
trunk, stored away in the dusty attic of
a down-East farm, there has just come to
light a packet of war " envelopes used
in the days of the rebellion. How long
they have been stowed away is not
known, but it is safe to presume that be
tween forty and fifty years have elapsed
since the mother of the person who has
found them put them away with other
relics of the struggle between North and
South. Despite age the envelopes are
still in good condition and might well be
used for mailing purposes, although the
white ones are becoming tinged with
yellow, and those of other colors show
the effects of the nearly half century.
The envelopes are unique in that on
the left hand side of each is a sketch
with appropriate words printed beneath.
One is a small cartoon portraying Jeffer
son Davis tickling the ear of a lion with
a piece of cotton on the end of a stick.
It is headed u Jefferson trying to tickle
the British lion with cotton," and under
neath is the reply of the lion, as follows :
"Jeff, it's no use ; I can do nothing for
you till you bring a certificate of good
character from your old Uncle Sam."
Another is a sketch of a Union soldier
in uniform, and underneath it is the
quotation from Ellsworth :
"He who noteth even the fall of a spar
row will have some purpose even in the
fate of one like me."
The Stars and Stripes in colors deco
rate the upper left hand corner of a
white envelope of very light quality,
which except for its yellowish hue from
age might well be used today. In the
Hag there are twenty-four stars. Be
neath it is the famous declaration of
Gen. John A. Dix:
"Shoot the first man that attempts to
pull down the American flag ! "
An envelope which was originally of
yellowish tint bears a sketch of John C.
Fremont, the first Republican candidate
for President of the United States. His
tory relates that he carried eleven States,
and would have been elected had he car
ried Pennsylvania and Illinois. Beneath
his picture is an American flag, and
alongside one of his famous utterances :
"Above every consideration is our
country as we have learned to love it
one and indivisible, now and forever!
and so we will maintain it."
The American eagle in flight with a
shield in its claws, is reproduced on a
white envelope, with the quotation from
"The Star Spangled Banner" :
Then conquer we must, when our cause It is just,
And this be our motto, "In God is our trust."
And the star spangled banner in triumph shall
wave,
O'er the land of the free and the home of the
brave.
Gen. Scott is shown protecting Wash
ington on another envelope. "VV ashing
ton" is reproduced as a large cut of beef ;
Gen. Scott as a burly bulldog, while on
the collar of a much smaller canine is
printed "Jeft" for Jefferson Davis.
From the mouth of the big bulldog are
coming the words: "Why don?t you
take it?"

eighty-four candles which sparkled on a
huge birthday cake which rested in the
