Grant's book, to be published in a few months, will contain the following reminiscences of Lee's surrender: "I found that Gen. Lee had been brought into our lines and conducted to a house belonging to Mr. McLean, and was there with one of his staff officers waiting my arrival. The head of his column was occupying a hill, a portion of which was an apple orchard, across a H?tfe va.lfy from the Court house. Sheridan's forces were drawn up in line of battle on tl.e west of a hill on the south side of the same valley. "Before stating what took place between Gen. L o nod myself I will give all there is ot the narrative of Gen. Lee and the famous apple tree. Ware produce many stories of fiction, some of which are told until they are believed. The war of the rebellion was fruitful in the same way. The story of the apple tree is one of those fictions .with a slight foundation of fact. As 1 have said, there was an apple orchard or the side of J.e hill occupied by the (Confederate forces. Running diagonally up the hill was a wagon road, which wt one point rat. very near one of the trees, so thnt the wheels on thnt side had cut ott' the root* of the tree, which made a little embankment. Gen. B.ihcock reported to me tliat when he first met General Ta^e he was sitting upon this emhgnk* meut with his feet in llir road and leaning against the tree. It was then that Lee was conducted into the houte where I first met hjm. "1 had known Gen. Lee in the old army, and had served with him in the Mexican war, hut did not suppose, owing to the riidV?r?iice in our ages and rank, that he would probably remember ine, while I would remember him more distinctly because he was chief engineer'on the start of General Boott in the Mexican war. When I had left camp that morning I had not exjieeted the resull so Boon that then was taking place, and consequently was in rough garb, and, I believe, without u aword, aa I uaoally was when on horseback on the field, wearing a toldier's blouse for a coat, with shoulder straps of my rank to indicate who I waa to the army. When I went into the house I found Gen. Lee. We greeted each other and after shaking hands took our sent*. What his feelings were I do not know. Being a man of much dignity and with an impenetrable face, it was impossible to say whether he felt inwardly glad that the end had finally come or whether he felt sadly over ihe result and was too manly to show it. Whatever his feelings were they were entirely concealed from observation. But my own feelings, which bad been apparent on receipt of bis letter, were sad and depressed. I felt like unything rather than rejoicing at the downfall of a f< e that hud fouglit s i long and gallantly, and had suffered so much for a cause which I believed lo f>e one of the worst for which a people ever fought, hh<1 for which there wan uot the leant pretext. I do not question, however, tlie sincerity of the great mans of those who were opposed to ua. "General l.ee was dressed in full uniform, entirely new, and wearing a sword of considerable value, very likely the sword tb"? had been prevented by thehiateof Virginia. At ail events it was an entirely different sword from one that would ordinarily be worn in the h id. In ipy rough travelling suit, which was the uniform of a private with the olrap* of a gen eral, I must )iavo contrasted very strongly with a man ?<> handsomely drfMcd, nix feet high and faultless form. Hut this whs not a matter thut I thought of uutii afterwards. General I*ee and I soon fell into conversation about old army time*. He remarked that ho remembered mo eery well in the old army, and I told him, n < a matter of course, I remembered him perfectly, but owing to difference in years, there being about sixteen y<ari difference in our ages and our rank, I thought it very likely 1 had not attracted his attention sufficiently to be remembered after such a long period. Our conversation grew so pleasant that 1 almost forgot tho object of our meeting. Gen, Lee at that time was accompanied by one of bis staff officers, Col. Marshall. I had all of my stafj I will) mo, a good portion of whom were in the room during the whole of the interview. An Apology to XMCcGook. | "In the article on the battle of Shiloh, which I wrote for the Century Magazine, I stated that Gen. A. McD. McC'ook, who commanded the division ' of jBoell's army, expressed Home unwillingness to pursue the enemy on Monday, April 7, because of the condition of his troops. Gen. Badeau, in his history, also makes the suine state.. ? , mem on 111 y auinoritv. Uut of justice to Gen. McConk and his command I must suy that they left h point twentyj two miles east of Savannah on the morning of the Gih. From lhe heavy rains of a few days previous and the j passage of trains ami artillery the 1 roads were necessarily deep in mud, 1 which made marching slow. The I division had not only inarched through i this mud the day before, hut it had i been in the rain all night without re.-t. It whs engaged in the hattle of the second dav and did as good service as its position allowed; in fact, an , opportunity occurred for it to perform a conspicuous act of gallantry, which elicited the highest commendation from division commanders in the am y of Tennessee. Gen. Sherman, in both , his memoirs and report, makes mention | of this fact General Mct'ook himself | belonged to a family which furnished | many volunteers to the array. I r<-f?r i to these circumstances with minuteness because 1 did Gen. Mct'ook injustice ' in my article in the Century, though not to the extent, one would suppose from the public press I am not willing to do any one an injustice, and if con I .l . r i I vmcru iiiui i nave .lone i>ke 1 am I always willing to make the fullest j admission. TUa CaptniA^of Vicksburg. "A Yickshurg newspaper, (which : Wp received re?r?ilHrlv while before I Vicksburg, through the courtesy "f the Rthe! pickets,) said prior to the 1 4tii, u k)u?>?ku(| *1 u>j 'Yanlciv' boast that tl cy would take dinner in Vicka burg (hut day, that the In-sl recipe i I..* i i.... wwniii^ u mxiiit nus, v_ttlCO your rabbit first.' This p:*per at this time pud for some time previous, was printed on the plain side of wall paper. The last number was printed on the 4th, and announced that we hud 'caught our rphhit.' I have no doubt that I'emberton commenced his correspondence on the 3d with a two fold purpose, first to avoid an hs-huIi which he knew would be successful, and second to prevent tho capture taking place on the great national holiday, the anniversary of the Declaration of jiiiMiiimi iniipppnii?nc6, ov holding out for better terms an he lie defeated Itis him in tlie Utter particular. On the 4lh of .July at. the appointed hour the garrison ofVickahnrg marched out <>f their works and formed line in front,stacked arms and marched hack in good order. Our whole army present witnessed this scene without cheering and without a single offensive remark that I ever heard of Logan's division, which had approached nearest the Uchel works, was the first to inarch in, and the flag of one of the regiments of his division was soon fh>Hting over the Courthouse. The campaign of Vickshurg was sug i gestrd and developed by circumstances. : Tl I .! r < on.i i lie riri-imiip in 100Z nan gone against the ptMeeaulion i?f the war. Voluntary enlistments ha>l nearly ceased, and a I draft had heen resorted to. This was i resisted, and defeat or a backward movement wonld have mado its ex J ecu lion impossible. A forward movement to decisive victory was necessary. Accordingly I resolved to get below Vicksburg, unite with Hanks against Port Hudson, make New Orleans a base, and with that base and Grand Gulf as the starting p int move our combined force* against Vickahurg. . Ufw>n reaching Grand Gulf, after rct! ning it* batteries and fighting a battle, I received a lettrr from Hunk* inform* ( ing me that he could not !?e at Port Hudson under ten day*, and then with only 15,000 men. Time was worth inure than reinforcement*. I therefore i determined to po*h into the interior of the enemy's country. With a large river behind us, held above and below r by the enemy, rapid movement* were eftnential to succeM. Jack*on waa captured the day after a new com ' rn&nder had arrived and when large i reinforcements were daily expected. A , rapid movement weat waa made and f the garrison of Vickiburg VM met in 4 five battles and badly defeated. The city was then successfully besieged." Grant's Meeting with Ioncoln. No reminiscence of war history will be read with greater interest than Gen. Grant's account*>f his first meeting with Lincoln and Lincoln's charge to him. He savs : "Although hailing from Illinois myself, the State of the President, I had never met Lincoln until called to the Capital to receive tny commission as Lieutenant-General. I knew him, however, very well afod favorably from accounts given by officers under me at the 'Vest who had kr,inwn him all their lives. I had iflso refcd a remarkable course of debates between Lincoln and ? c?... t? c *? , ^wu^.ua u ivn j i'ii13 unurt* wnrn mey ' were rival candidates for the United j States Senate, i was then a resident of Missouri and by no means a Lincoln ; man in that contest, hut I recognized I his great ability. In my first interview | with Lincoln alone ho stated to me ! that he had never professed to be a I military man or to know how cam! paigns should he conducted and never i wanted to interfere in them, hut lliHt procrastination on the part of commanders and the pressure of the people at the North and of Congress, which, 'like live poor he had always with htm/ had forced him into issuing his wellknown series of executive orders. lie did not know luit they were all wrong und he did know that some of them were.

An Authentic Account of The Heroes Death. Dr. Hunter McGuire, who attended Stonewall Jackson during his last hours, has published a full account of the event from which the following extract is made: "About daylight on Sunday morning Mrs. Jackson informed him that his recovery was very doubtful, ami that it wus better that he should be prepared for the worst. He was silent for a moment, and then said, 'It will be infinite gnin to be translated to heaven.' fie advised his | wife in the event of his death to return I to her father's house, and added; | You haven kind and good father, hut there is no one so kind ami good as your Heavenly Father.' He still expressed a hope of his recovery, but recpiested her, if he should die, to have him buried at Lexington in theVnlley of Virginia. His exliauction inowased Ho rapidly that at 11 o'clock Mr?. Jackson knelt by his bed and told him tiiat before the sun went down he would be with his Saviour. He replied:' 'Oh, no. You are frightened, my child. Death is not so near. I may, )?tget well.* She fell on the bed weeping bitterly, and told him that the physicians said there was no hope. After a moment'" pause he asked her to call/or me. 'Uoctor, Anna inform* me that you have told her .that I nin to die to-day; is it so?' When he was answered he turned his eyes toward the ceiling and gazed for a moment or |two, n* if in intense thought, then replied: 'Very good very good; it is all right.' He then tried to comfort his almost heart broken wife, And told her he hud a good deal to say to her, hut he was too weak. Colonel Pendleton come into the room about one o'clock, and he askd him, 'Who was prcnching at herdquarters to day?' When told that the whole army waa praying f..r him he replied: 'Thank trou: iney are very aimi. n? nam, n o the I/ord's day ; my wish is fulfilled. I have always desired to die on Sunday. His mind now began to fail and wan* der, and he frequently talked as ifin command upon tike field, giving his orders in his old way; then the scene shifted, and he was at the mess table iii conversation with member* of hi* stall'; now his wife aud child; now at prayers with hi* military family. Occasionally intervals of return of his mind would appear, and during one of them I offered him some brandy find water, hui he declined it. 'It will only delay my departure to do no good. I wont to preserve my mind to the last, if possible." About 1:10 he was told ! that he had two hours to live aud answered feebly but lirmly;'Very good; jit is all ri<;ht.' A few momenta before be er'ed out in his delirium;'Order A. I*. Hill to prepare for action!' 'Pass the infantry to the front rapidly!' ?'Tell Major IIawltcs. ? then stunned. leaving the Sentence unfinished: Presently a smile of ineffable sweetness spread itself over bis pale face h in I he said quietly and with an expression as ifof relief; 'Let us cross over the river and rest under the shade of the tree-;' and then without pain or the least struggle, his spirit passed from earth to the God who gave it." Sow to Keep Cider Sweet. Pure sweet cider that is arrested in the process of fermentation before it becomes acetic acid or even alcohol, and with carbonic acid gas worked out, is one of the most delightful beverages. The Farm Field and Fireside recommends the following scientific method of treating cider to preserve its sweetness. When the saccharine matters by fermentation are being converted to alcoho', if a hc:it tube be inserted airtight into the hung, with the other end into u pail ol water, to allow thecarbonic acid gas evolved to | ass off* without admitting any air into the u.

Attention is now attracted in the South to a new cotton plant, which fair to prove immensely valuable. For many years A. A. Subers, of .Macon G?., has been carefully experimenting to hybridise the cotton plant that grows wild in Florida with the common okra. The new plant retains the okra stalk and the foliage of the cotton. Its flowers and fruit, however, areetrikingly unlike either cotton orokra. The plant has an average height of two feet, and each plant has only one bloom. This is a magnificent flower much iike the great magnolia in fragrance, nml equally an large. Like the cotton bloom, the flower in white for several flays after which it is first pale pink, and gradually becomes red, when it drops, disclosing a wonderful boll. For about ten days this boll resembles ths cotton boll, and then its growth suddenly increases, as if by magic, until it reaches the si7.?; ot n big cocoanut. Then its snowy threads beigin to hurst from the boll, but are securely held in place by the okru-like thorns or points that line the boll. One experienced pickir can easily gathei ?00 pounds a day, and fast-hands milch more. Wero the yritry raving 11111L l?l ittUOr 'II gRlllCTing the lint, the result of Mr. Rubers' experiment would entitle hint to the everlasting gratitude of the Southern fanner. Hut ibis not all?tin tc are uo seeds in the lint. Each boll produces about two pounds of very iu.*ig? stapled cotton, superior to the Seif Island, ami at the bottom of the boll there are from four to six seeds, resembling persimmon seed. This new cotton, therefore needs no ginning. Such a plant would revolution* ize the cott ?n industry of the South. ? Florui t, Timet-1 niou. Toads In the Garden.

Any one who will take the trouble to watch a toad for one hour some summer evening, will he astonished at the skill and celerity with which ihe little apparently slothful creature captures its unwary victims.

I Imd rather overpay him thau underpay | bini. Hut I have no consideration for j these educated upstarts who swell around and talk big about equality. Wei!, as to that I haven't any more respect for lory supercilious white folks. Education spoils Tots of folks, both while and black. Just about half the college boys ought to be in the corn field now, they are no accouut. Well, I don't mean to say that the corn field wants no account men but. I mean to say that the college spoilt a good corn field man. When he was at home on the farm he was fitten to do something. But as Same Jones says he went off to college and now he aiut fitten to get fitten. The Cream of tbe Joke. 'Say, Bob, you're 'out' with Misa Parsons, mint yon P j 'iw, .ioe," 'What has happened ?' 'She's experimenting too lavishly.' 'Experimenting ! What a! ?' Trying to cure freckles by eating ice cream.' 'Well, why ought you to care?' 'Oh, I don't, provided it's at gome other fellow's expense. It was costing me a dollar and half a freckle.' The failure of ouo man is the opportunity of another. Ulue Blood. The term blue blood, from the Spanish phrase sangre azul, is tnnch uecd without a very clear idea of its signification. Its real meaning is? "not that the blood itself is blue (excepting that nil venous blood has a bluish tiuge)?but that the persons or class to whom tho term is applied have skins so white and transparent that veins show bluo through them, and this is taken c.s a certain indication that the class or persons thus designated are without an admixture ot races. Any one who has traveled in Spanish-American countries, or in Spain, where tho term originated, would Ace At ouco its applicability. Q Tho descendants of the Gothic com- v querors of Spain retain to this day phnrftpJopiof i/>? ? ? - ?* - -v.~. xv.uu ?I IUCII aucciiurs?IIH1 white, transparent skin, blue eyes and and aburn or tawny hair, and their veins show bins through their cuticle; hut in case of an admixture ot' African or Moorish blood, the blue blood (veins) gradually disappear, until iti case of n great preponderance of the latter races the veins show merely as ridges. Tourists in Mexico will notice this peculiarity in all of the Mexican citie3 as well as in the haciendas throughout that country, on account of the great admixture of Indian (Aztec, Toltecand Tlascallan) blood I in the population, and everywhere they will find that the people whose veins show blue through the skin are the ruling class. ?
