STORY OF A
As Related by G-en. ]
of S
Washing
I have frequently noticed that when
old soldiers and sailors meet for a talk
about the civil war they sometimes
forget the reverence due the divinity
commonly spokeL of as the Goddess
bf Truth. For my part, I have heard
events that occurred under my own
eyes described in such a way that I
failed to recognize them.
We do not yet know with certainty
the facts of the battle of Waterloo,
and as to Chancellorsville and Gettys
burg, although I witnessed both, I
sometimes think, in view of the abso
lutely irreconcilable accounts we have
of these two engagements, a Bishop
Whatley might readily create historic
doubts as to whether either was in
fact fought.
With the full knowledge of this
tendency to error I will give you as
accurately as I can an exact narrative
of the circumstances attending the
surrender of Gen. Lee's army at Ap
pomattox, as they fell under my direct
observation. I will exclude every
thing not immediately connected with
the great event, as I am convinced
that it possessed sufficient interest in
itself to render comment unnecessary,
if not inappropriate.
There is one very important matter
I wish settled at the outset, however.
It is this : Gen. Lee did not meet
Gen. Grant in the McLean house on
the morning of April 9, 1S65, for the
purpose of then and there effecting a
surrender of his army. On the con
trary, it was simply for the purpose
of hearing Grant's terms. As a mat
ter of fact, if they had not suited Gen.
Lee he would not have accepted them;
but Grant's offer was so liberal, so
magnanimous, and so chivalrous that
it was accepted forthwith. It is well
to add that had Gen. Grant's terms
been less favorable than those he
made, Gen. Lee would not have ac
cepted them, no matter what the cir
cumstances might have 'been. We
had' become accustomed somewhat to
deal with desperate circumstances.
CROSSED SWORDS WITH PORTER.
I wish to have another matter un
derstood lbefo;:e beginning a consecu
tive narrative of the surrender. This
.
is in regard to Gen. Horace Porter's
statement, made repeatedly, orally
and in writing, that Gen. Lee offered
his sword to Grant. Lee never offered
his sword to Grant, and the latter
never refused it. I was with the
great Southern chieftain from the
time he greeted Grant in the McLean
house until he rode away, and the
only time the mention of a sword was
made was when Grant apologized to
Lee for his dress, explaining that it
was not possible for him to get access
' to his baggage and at the same time
keep the appointment. The terms of
capitulation expressly excepted side
.anns, and'in view of that fact it |
would have been a most unusual pro- !
?cedure for Gen. Lee to have offered
?is sword to Grant. These matters
are unimportant in themselves, but it
is well for the sake of history to have
them cleared up.
After the disaster of Sailor s Creek,
in April, 1865, the army, reduced to
two corps under the command of Gen.
Longstreet and Gen. Gordon, moved
through Farmville, where rations were
"issued to some of the starving troops.
. A close pursuit by the overwhelming
army of Gen. Grrant made it necessary
to remove the wagon trains before all
thc men could be supplied, and the
remnant of the great army of North
ern Virginia, exhausted by fight and
starvation, moved in the road to Ap
pomattox Sourt House.
GRANT WRITES TO LEE.
On the afternoon of 7th of April,
1865, Gen. Grant wrote to Gen. Lee
stating that the hopelessness of fur
ther resistance was apparent, and ask
ing a surrender of the army of North
ern Virginia.
When this letter was received there
was some difference of opinion among
the general officers as to the nature of
thc reply to be made to Gen. Grant's
letter, some thinking it was yet pos
sible to save the remnant of the army.
Finally, however. Gen. Lee decided ?
to meet Grant, and I was directed to !
draw up a communication to that effect. ?
This is the letter Gen. Lee signed :
April, 7, 1SI>5.-General: I have'
received your note of this date, j
Though not entertaining the opinion
you express of thc hopelessness of
further resistance on thc part of thc
army of Northern Virginia, T recipro
cate your desire to avoid useless ci'- i
fusion of blood, and. therefore, before j
considering your proposition, ask the j
terms you will offer on condition of j
surrender. Very respectfully, your J
obedient servant,
R. K. LEE, General.
It was not until thc next day that a
reply was received to this letter.
Grant stated that lie would insist
upon but one condition; this was that
the men and officers surrendered should
be disqualified to take up arms against ?
the Knited States until properly ex
changed.

.taff.
'ion Post.
IIOPK NOT ABANDONED.
Even after this correspondence Gen.
Lee did not abandon hopes of success
fully extricating himself from the
dilemma. The army had been in
straits almost as deplorable.
The march was continued during
April S, with little interruption from
the enemy. In the evening wc halted
near Appomattox Court House, Gen.
Lee intending to march by way of
Campbell Court House, through
Pittsylvania County, toward Danville,
with a view of opening communica
tions with the army of Gen. Joseph
E. Johnston, then retreating before
Gen. Sherman through North Caro
lina. Gen. Lee's purpose was to unite
with Johnston to attack Sherman, or
call Johnston to his aid in resisting
Grant, whichever might be found best.
The,exhausted troops were halted for
rest near Appomattox Court House,
and the march was resumed at 1 a. m.
I can convey a good idea of the con
I dition of affairs by telling my own ex
! perience.
A NIGHT IN THE WOODS.
J When the army halted Gen. Lee
j and staff turned out of the road into
a dense wood to receh e some rest,
j Lee had a conference with some of
? thc principal officers, at which it was
I determined to force our way the next
j morning with the troops of Gordon,
supported by the cavalry under Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee, the command of Long
I street bringing up the rear. With my
j comrades of the staff and staff officers
j of Gens. Longstreet and Gordon I
sought a little rest.
We lay upon the grouud, with our
saddles for pillows, our horses picket
ed near by, eating the bark of trees
for want of better provender, and our
faces covered with the capes of our
overcoats to keep out the night air.
Soon after 1 a. m. I was aroused by
tht sound of a column of infantry
marching along the road. At first I
thought they were the Federal sol
diers.
I raised my head and listened in
tently. My doubts were quickly dis
pelled. It was Hood's old Texas
brigade, and I recognized the command
by hearing one of them repeat the
version of a passage of Scripture with
which I was familiar-I mean with
the Texas version:
The race is not to them that's got
The longest legs to ran,
Nor the battle to that people
That shoots thc biggest gun.
Soon after we were all astir and our
bivouac was at an end. We made our
simple toilet, consisting mainly of 1
putting on our capes and saddling our
horses. Somebody had a little corn
meal and somebody else had a tin can,
such as is used to hold water for
shaving. A fire was kindled, and
each man in his turn, according to
rank and seniority, made a can of oat
meal gruel and was allowed to keep
the can until the gruel became cool
enough to drink. Gen. Lee, who re
posed, as we had done, not far from
us, did not, as I remember, have even
such refreshments as I have described.
LAST, MEAL IN CONFEDERATE STATES.
This was our last meal in the Con
federacy. Our next was taken in the
United States, and consisted mainly
of a generous portion of that noble
American animal, whose strained re
lations with the Chancellor of the
German Empire made it necessary at
last for the President of the United
States to send an Ohio man to the
Court of Berlin.
"Tantas componere lites."
As soon as we all had our turn at
the shaving can we rode toward Appo
mattox Court House, when thc sound
of guns announced that Gordon had
already begun the attempt to open the
way.
He forced his way through the cav
alry of the enemy only to encounter a
force of infantry far superior to his
own wearied and starving command.
Tlc informed (?en. Lee that it was im
possible to advance further, and it
became evident that the end was at
hand.
Gen. Lee had written Grant, .-tating
that he would meet him at 10 o'clock
on thc morning of April !., on the old
stage road to Richmond. Attended
by myself and one orderly Lee pro
ceeded down this road to meet Gen.
Grant.
OE AD LY I'ENSION MAKERS.
As wc advanced through thc rear
guard, composed of the remnant.- of
Longstreet's corps, thc men cheered
their chieftain as he passed. Their <
confidence and enthusiasm were not
one whitabatcd hy defeat, hunger and
danger, lt was lucky for thc Sccrc- '
tary of thc Treasury that this rear ;
guard (vas not permitted to try its
hand at increasing thc pen-ion roll
with v Inch he is now struggling.
Those men made no fraudulent pen- i
sioners. When they were done with I
a man. he or Iii.- representatives had |
an indisputable claim to a pension I
under any kind of a pension law. i
Gen. Lee, with an orderly in front i
bearing a Hag of truce, bad proco
but a short distance after pas
through our rea:: guard, when he c
upon the advancing enemy. I
forward to meet a Federal officer,
turned out to be Lieut. Col. Whit
of Gen. Humphrey's staff, and
delivered to me Gen. Grant's repl
Gen. Lee's letter, declining to dis
the terms of a general pacification
took this letter to Gen. Lee, wh
once dictated tc me a letter to Gr
asking an interview for the purpos
discussing terms of surrender.
Whittier took this letter to Grant,
Geo. Lee ther returned to the fr
and with Gen. Longstreet procee
to a small orchard, and there wa
for Grant's reply. As he was in
fatigued a rude couch was prep;
under an apple tree, upon whicl
reclined until the appearance c
flag of truce, and Grant's affirma
reply.
WHERE THE MEETING WAS 11E L
Col. Babcock, who brought thc
ply, told Gen. Lee that he had b
sent to make arrangements for
meeting that Gen. Lee desired wit
the Federal or Confederate lines.
(?en. Lee directed me to accompi
him with one orderly, and irumedi;
ly mounting his horse rode with (
Babcock toward Appomattox Cc
House.
We passed through an infan
force in front of the village, and G
Lee directed me to find a suita
place for the meeting. I rode ?
ward and asked the first citizen I 1
to direct me to a house suitable
the purpose. I -earned afterward tl
the citizen was Mr. McLean, who 1
lived on the bat de field of Bull Ri
but had removed to Appomattox Co
House to get out of the way of 1
war. McLean conducted me to
unoccupied and unfurnished house,
a very bad state of repair. I told h
that it was not .suitable, and he th
offered his own house, to which
conducted me.
I found a room suitable for the pi
pose in view and sent back the ordi
ly who had accompanied me to din
Gen. Lee and Col. Babcock to t
house.
They came in presently and Ci
Babcock said that, as Gen. Grant w
approaching on the road in front
the house, it would only be necessa
for him to leave an orderly to dire
him to the place of meeting.
Geo. Lee, Col. Babcock and mysc
sat in the parlo:: for about half ;
hour, when a large party of mounti
men arrived, and in a few minut
Gen. Grant came into the room, a
companied by hi> staff and a numb
of Federal officers of rank, amoi
whom were Gen. Ord and Gen. Shei
dan.
Gen. Grant greeted Gen. Lee vei
civilly, and they engaged in convers
tion for a short time about their fo
mer acquaintance during the Mexica
war.
Some other Federal officers too
part in the conversation, which wa
terminated by Gen. Lee saying to Ger
Grant that he had come to discus
the terms of the surfender of his arin j
as indicated in hi;3 note of that mort
ing, and he suggested to Gen. Grao
to reduce his proposition to writing.
Geo. Grant assented and Col. Pal
ker. of his staff, moved a small tabl
from the opposite side of the roor
and placed it by Gen. Grant, who sa
facing Gen. Lee.
When Gen. Grant had written hi
letter in pencil he took it to Gen
Lee, who remained seated. Gen. Lei
read the letter and called Gen. Grant':
attention to the fact that he-re<|uirec
the surrender of the cavalry as if the}
were public horses. He told Gen
Grant that the Confederate cavalry
men owned their horses, and the}
would need them for planting a sprint
crop. Gen. Grant at once accepted
the suggestion.
DRAWING UP THE ARTICLES.
The terms of the letter having been
agreed to, Gen. Grant directed Col.
Parker to make a copy of it in ink,
and Gen. Lee directed mc to write its
acceptance.
Col. Parker took the table upon
which Gen. < ! rant had been writing to
the other side of thc room and I ac
companied him, and after he had fin
ished copying the letter I sat down at
the same table and wrote Gen. Lee's
acceptance.
When Gen. Grant had signed the
copy of his letter made by Col. Parker
and Gen. Lee had signed the answer,
Col. Parker handed to mc (icu. G rant's
letter, and 1. hand( d to him Gen. Lee's
reply, and the work was done.
When Gen. Lee returned to his
lines a large number of men gathered
around him, to whom lie announced
what had taken place and the causes
that had rendered the surrender ne
cessary. Great emotion was mani
fested by officers and men alike, but
Lee maintained admirably his self
control. Although thc; surrender was
ii fearful blow to him. he did not
tri nee.
LEE'S PURITY Ol-' LI PK.
Ile was a noble, pure, good man. 1
never heard hiii! utter an oath, al
Lhough at times there seemed to be
provocation. I never saw him lose
fi is temper, (ic was always the same:
ic. cr irritated or luster ?d. liven in
;he rush, roar and rumble of battle he
was ever cool and collected, and gave
his orders in a ?juict tone of voice.
Here is an ins'.ance of his self
control: The morning of the battle
of Chancellorsville he was anxiously
waiting word from J. E. B. Stuart
and Jackson, who had made a circuit
in order to get in the rear of the
enemy. We were sitting on our horses
on the top of a hill, and I saw in the
distance a galloping horseman. He
was a courier from Gen. Stuart an
nouncing his success, and stating that
he would attack at once. As we rode
along, I reading the dispatch aloud, a
bomb passed screaming between the
letter and my face, the fuse scorch rig
my glove. Naturally I stopped read
ing, but while the shell passed equal
ly as close to Lee, he never winced.
He'quietly said, "Go on, Colonel/'
He deeply loved Jackson, and when
' the announcement of his wound was
j made Lee was much distressed. Jack
son's death was a fearful blow to him.
He admired Jackson not only as a
soldier and a statesman, but as a pure
and noble Christian as well.

Wonderful Things.
If ants were large enough they would
rule the earth. As it is' they predom
inate the politics of their own sphere,
and have many human characteristics.
The longest time for which an ant
sleeps is three and a half hours. On
awakening they stretch their legs,
yawn, and then carefully clean them
selves by applying their legs to their
mouths and rubbing them over their
bodies, very much in the style of a
cat washing her face: after which they
brush their heads and bodies with thc
natural comb which nature gives
them.
The most remarkable thing about
this is that almost every necessity for
which we are obliged in our case to
employ more or less complicated
mechanical contrivances is provided
for by the physical structure of the
ants.
Ants clean themselves both before
and after sleep, and also after eating.
Frequently one ant will lick and brush
another all over, limb by limb, the
ant operated upon sprawling on her
back, relaxing her muscles and aban
doning herself to the enjoyment of
the operation.
They are great hunters, attacking
snakes, lizards, rats, mice, centipedes
and beetles.
They even kill the great African
python. It is said that if a python
has killed an animal he dare not gorge
himself with it till he has made a
wide circuit and satisfied himself that
there are no driver ants in the neigh
borhood. If, however, he meets with
any, he abandons his prey to them,
and discretely retires. A certain
species actually keep cows, in other
words, plant lice. When the ants are
hungry they actually milk the aphides
by tapping them briskly on the sides
of the abdomen with their antennae
till the fluid exudes, when it is at once
sucked up by the ants.
They shut them up in cow houses
and use them for days.
Ants act as soldiers in a very real
way, and it is no stretch of language
to call them pitched battles between
ants of the same species, and raids of
one species upon the nests of another,
sometimes to carry off the larv.-c and
pup;c as food (a modified form of can
nibalism,) and sometimes to supply
their own nests with slaves.
Certain ants are agriculturists, and
allow ant-rice to grow up in a circle
round their nests, while every other
plant is carefully cut down as fast as
it appears. They sow thc crop regu
larly, tend it, and harvest it. When
the seeds fall they are carried into
thc nest, and the stubble is cleared
away. When thc grain in thc nest
gets damped by rain these ants carry
it out in the open to dry.-Cincinnati
Enquirer.

A Troubled Irishman.
The man who does not care to work
has no difficulty in finding an excuse
for his indolence, although probably
the man mentioned below was not open
to that accusation.
An old Irish laborer walked into the
luxurious studio of William Keith,
the artist, recently, and asked for
money to obtain a meal. Ile explain
ed that he had just been discharged
from the county hospital, and was too
weak to work. Mr. Keith gave him a
quarter, and he departed. One of four
young ladies, art students, who were
present said: "Mr. Keith, can't we
hire that old man and sketch him?"
Keith ran out and caught him, and
said: "If you can't work and want to
make a dollar, come back to my rooms.
The young ladies want to paint you."
Thc Irishman hesitated, so Keith re
marked: "It won't take long, and
it's an easy way to make a dollar."
"Oi know that," was thc reply: "but
Gi was a-wundcrin' how Oi'd gil th'
paint' off afterward.''
- "Listen to a man's words, and
look al thc pllpil of ll is eye. ' ' I (' you
have a loving heart, and a right spirit,
your eye will show it : but you can
not evidence in your eye a sincerity
that is not in control of you. The
best way of seem im; sincere is bv bc
ing sincere.
Slic was Sony.
Thc man had been absent from New
York for a number of years. During
his absence many changes had taken
place. Some of his friends had moved
away and some had died. Though he
had taken the New York papers pret
ty regularly, he had not kept up with
these friends of his as he should have
done. Consequently now and then
some one of them that he thought
dead and buried and forgotten came
up to him and shook him by the
hand.
Such shocks had the effect of giving
him nervous prostration, or nearly
and they were of such frequent occur
rence that his health not only became
undermined, but he ultimately arrived
at the conclusion that all his friends
were yet alive.
One evening he called upon a wo
man friend who was living at a hotel.
Arrived at her rooms, he found her
surrounded by a crowd of people, but
he finally reached her and shook her
by the hand.
"You are just the same," he said,
admiringly. "You haven't changed a
particle," which was not at all true,
for her hair had turned so white that
she had the air of a marquise in some
old picture. ""And your husband,
too." he went on, "he is just the
same as ever. I saw him just now
down in the lobby, lie was smoking."
The woman looked a trifle startled
fora moment, then recovered her com
posure with considerable effort.
"1 am sorry to hear." she remarked,
gravely, "that my husband is still
smoking. He has been dead for
twelve years."-New York Sun.

Atones for a Crime of Many Years
Ago.
A master mason in Deutschen. Ger
many, named Jacobs, was delighted to
receive a remittance recently from a
man in New York. The sender was
unknown to him, but the remittance
amounted to l'?0,07S marks, equal to
Sl?.OOO. The sender, Jacobs believes,
must have signed an assumed name.
He says the only explanation he can
give for the strange transaction is that
the money cams from a former part
ner, who absconded 30 years ago.
He says that in 18(39 his partner in
business disappeared suddenly, taking
with him 12,000 marks which belong
to Jacobs. Every effort was made to
find him or get a trace of his where
abouts but all were unsuccessful, and
after a while he resigned himself to
his loss. About a year ago, he says,
while on a business trip in North
Germany, he was thrown in contact
with a party of American tourists
traveling in the same direction. Ile
talked with them and they told him of
many successful Germans who had
settled in the United States.
Ile remembered his absconding
partner and wondered if he had migra
ted to America. He told his newly
made companions the story of his
troubles and mentioned his former
partner's name. The Americans said
they, knew a millionaire of that name
in Chicago. Mr. Jacobs thinks it
possible that the Americans told thc
Chicago millionaire of the interview
when they returned and that the re
mittance was the result. The money
sent represents the amount of the
original loss, plus compound interest.
The name of the Chicago millionaire
was not divulged by Jacobs.-New
Vi,ri; Press.
- William T. King, member of the
lower house of the Delewaae Legisla
ture, is the only single man in that
body. A resolution has just been
passed in moot session ordering him
to marry within thirty days or furnish
an oyster supper for the members. It
looks as if he would pay the penalty
rather than commit matrimony.
The flag under which all women
should march is the banner of pood
health. A woman owes it
to herself, her husband
and children to enlist,
under this flag. If she
does not do so she will
live a life of wretchedness
herself, and unless her
husband is an exception
ally good man, he will be
come indifferent to her,
her home will be unhappy
and her children will be
puny and sickly.

Ku woman can enjoy good,
