W<- lay upon tin: ground, with our saddles fur pillow-, our horses picket ed in-ar 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 I a. tn. 1 was aroused by i the sound of a column of infantry marching along the road. At lirst I thought they were the Federal sol dier^. I raised my head and listened i ii - ! tently. My doubts were quickly dis I polled. It was Hood's old Testis \ brigade, ?md 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 run. Not- the battle to that people Timi .-hoots the biggest gun. Soon after we were all astir and our j bivouac was at an end. We made our j simple toilet, consisting mainly of j putting on our capes and saddling our I horses. Somebody had a little corn I meal and somebody else had a tin can, such as is used io hold water for shaving. A lire 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. (Jen. Lee, who re posed, as we had done, not far from us, did not, as I remember, have even such refreshments as 1 have described. LAST M KA L IN CON't'EliE'tATE STATES. This was our last meal in the Con federacy, dur next was taken in the Fnitcd States, and consisted mainly . if a generous portion of thal noble American animal, whose strained re lations with thc Chancellor of the (J orman F tn pi re made it necessary at last for the Fresident of thc Fnited States to send an Ohio man to the Court of Berlin.

As soon as wc all had our turu at the shaving can wc rode toward Appo mattox Court House, when the sound of guns announced that (Jordon had already begun the attempt to open the way. Ile 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. Ile informed (Jen. Lee that it was im possible to advance further, and it became evident that the end was at hand. . Jen.

As we advanced through the rear Allard, composed of the remnants of Longstreet s corps, the men cheered their chieftain as be passed. Their confidence and enthusiasm were not one whit abatid by defeat, hunger and , danger, lt was lucky for the Secre tary of the Treasury that this rear guard was not permitted to try its hand at increasing the pension roll with vhich he is now struggling. Those men ?nade no fraudulent pen sioners. When they were done with a man, he or his representativo had an indisputable claim to a pension under any kind of a pension law. (Jen.

L'-e then returned to the front, and with'?en. Longstreet proceeded to a small ore hard, and there waited for (?rant's reply.

We passed through an infantry force in front of the village, and (?en. Lee directed me t?> lind a suitable, place I'or tin- meet i n Lr. 1 rode for ward and asked the first citizen 1 met to direct inc to a house suitable for I he purpose. 1 learned afterward that tin- eiti/eil was Mr. McLean, who had lived ?m the battle Held of Hull Hun. but had removed to Appomattox Court Mouse to getont of the way of the war. McLean conducted me to an unoccupied and unfurnished house, in a very Lao! state ol' repair. I told him that it was not suitable, and he then offered his own house, to which he conducted me. 1 found a room suitable for the pur pose in view and sent back the order ly who had accompanied me to direct (?en. Lee and Col. Babcock to the house. They came in presently and Col. Babcock said that, as (?en. (?rant was approaching on the road in front of the house, it would only be necessary for him to leave an orderly to direct him to the place of meeting. Cen. Lee, Col. Babcock and myself sat in the parlor for about half an hour, when a large party of mounted men arrived, ?md in a few minutes (?en. (?rant came into thc room, ac companied by his staff and a number of Federal officers of rank, among whom were (?cn. Ord and (?en. Sheri dan. (?cn. Craut greeted (?en. Lee very civilly, and they engaged in conversa tion for a short time about their for mer acquaintance during the Mexican war. I Some other Federal officers took part in the conversation, which was terminated by (?cn. Lee saying to (?en. (?rant that bc had conic to discuss the terms of the surrender of his army, as indicated in his note of that morn ing, and be suggested to (?en. (?rant to reduce his proposition to writing. Cen. (Jrant assented and Col. Har ker, of his staff, moved a small table from the opposite side of the room and pluced it by (?cu. Craut, who sat facing (?cn. Lee. When (?en. (Jrant had written his letter in pencil he took it to Gen. Lee, who remained seated, (?en. Lee read the letter and called (?en. (?rant s attention to the fact that he-required the surrender of the cavalry i>? if they were public horses. Ile told Cen. (?rant that the Confederate cavalry men owned their horses, and they would need them for planting a spring crop. (?en. (?rant at once accepted the suggestion. IlKAWlXU lt' TIIK A UT IC I. ES. The terms of thc letter having been agreed io, (?cu. Grant directed Col. Harker to make a copy of it in ink, and (Jen. Lee directed me to write its acceptance. Col.

( J rant had been writing to thc 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 (?en. Lee's acceptance. When (?en. (?rant had signed the copy of his letter made by Col. Harker and (?en. Lee liad signed the answer, Col. Harker handed to me Gen. ( ?rant's letter, and I handed to him (?cn. Lee's reply, and thc work was done. When (?cn. Lee returned to his lines a largo number of men gathered around him, to whom he announced what, had taken pince and the causes that had rendered the surrender ne cessary, (?real emotion was mani fested by officers and tuen alike, but Lee maintained admirably his self control. Although the surrender was a fearful blow to him, he did not wince. LEE'S IT lt I rv OF LIFE. He was a noble, pure, good man.

CHAKI.t:s MAUSIIAI.I.. ?? . - Wonderful Tilings. If ants were Iprge enough they would rule the earth. As it i- they predom inate the politics of I heir own sphere, and have many human characteristics. Thc longest time for which an ant sleeps is three and a half hour-. 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 eat washing her lace, after which they bruah their heads and bodies with the 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 hy thc 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 upou sprawling on her back, relaxing her muscles and aban doning herself to the enjoyment of thc 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 ou 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 thc same species, and raids of one species upon the nests of another, sometimes to carry off the larva) and pup.e 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 eveiy other plant is carefully cut down as fast as it appears. They sow the crop regu larly, tend it, and harvest it. When the seeds fall they are carried into the nest, and the stubble is cleared away. When the grain in the nest gets damped by rain these ants carry it out in the open to dry.-Cincinnati Enquirer. m . m A Troubled Irishman. The man who docs 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 thc luxurious studio of William Keith, the artist, recently, and asked for money to obtain a meal. Ile explain ed that he brid just been discharged from thc county hospital, and was too weak to work. Mr. Keith gave birr 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. Thc young ladies want to paint you." The Irishman hesitated, so Keith re marked: "lt won't take long, and it's an easy way to make a dollar." "Ol know that.j" was the reply; "but Oi was a-wunderin' how Oi'd git tb paint' off afterward." - "Listen toa man's words, and look at the pupil of his eye." If 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 vof you. The best way of seeming sincere is by be ing sincere. She was Sorry. Tho man had been absent from New York fur a number of years. Oaring bis absence many changes had taken place. Some of his friends had moved away and some had died. Though he had taken the .Now \ ork 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 bim and shook him by thc band. Such shocks bad thc effect of giving bim nervous prostration, or nearly, and they were of such frequent occur rence that bis health not only became undermined, but he ultimately arrived at the conclusion that all his friends were yet alive. One evening be 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 band. "VDU are just the same,-' he said, admiringly, "You haven't changed a particle." which was not at all true, for ber bair had turned so white that she had thc air (d' a marquise in some old picture. "And your husband, too," bc went on, "he is just the same, as ever. I saw him just now down in the lobby. He was smoking." The woman looked a trifle startled fora moment, thou recovered her com posure with considerable effort. "I am sorry to hear." she remarked, gravely, "that my husband is still smoking. Ile has been dead for twelve years." - AWr Vor/,' Sun. -? . ?, - Atones for a Crime or Many Years Ago. A master mason in Hcntschen, Ocr mauy. 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 ti(),07S marks, equal to $lf>,000. The sender, Jacobs believes, must have signed an assumed name. Ile says the only explanation he can give for the strange transaction is that the money came from a former part ner, who absconded !1() years ago. He says that in 1800 his partner in business disappeared suddculy, taking with him 14,OOO 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 resigucd 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 Germar.s who had settled in the "United States. He remembered his absconding partner and wondered if he had migra ted to America. Ile told his newly made eoaipanions the story of his troubles and mentioned his former partner'ti name. The Americans said they, knew a millionaire of that name in Chicago. Mr. Jacobs thinks it possible that the Americans told the Chicago millionaire of the interview when they returned and that the re mittance was the result. The money sent represents the amouut of the original loss, plus compound interest. The name of thc Chicago millionaire was not divulged by Jacobs.-Wvw York larung. - ^Villiam T.
