I.EK AS A YOUNG OFFICER.
Robert V., T.eo was tlio youngest son or
Henry I.ee. Ho was born at Btrntfordon tho
Potomac, Westmoreland county, Virginia,
on January ID, 1S07. His mother was Anno
Hill Carter, daughter of Mr. Charles Carter,
of Shirley, on tho James river. His father
was twice married, first to Mi>3 Leo, and then
to Miss Carter, a Virginia aristocrat of tho
bluest of blood.
History knows Robert E. Leo as tho soldier;
only his friends know him as tho man?tbo
Christian gentleman. Perhaps no man ever
bad a surer claim to that titlo than he. In bis

His Early Lifo and Education*
Miss Emily V. Mason, in hor "Popular Life
of Gen. Lee," thus spoaks of his early lifo:
"Whon ho was but 4 years old, his falhor re

his children, ntu 1 thero aro many persons yet

On leaving West Point, Robert K. Lee

Gen. Bcott noted tho young officer's mili

Tierce's meesngo, which had something to say
about "tho efforts of certain people at tho
north to Interfere with and change the do

"There uro fow, I beliovo, In this enlight

slavery as an Institution Is a moral and po

expatinto on its disadvantages. I think it Is
a greater ovil to the white than to the black

from 'the mild and melting Influence of
Christianity than from tho storms and

Col. Leo resigned his commission and ten

said: "It would lmvo beon presented at oneo

Despite his earnest efforts to carry out his

mighty cheer arose. The words "Juckson,

same soldier, who can write as well as fight, i
has writtou this dramatic description of the
very dramatic event, the mooting between ,
Loo and Jackson that immediately took place.

Jackson turned bis head quickly, listened for

familiar to oil who knew him:
"They can stand ahnoot anything, general.
They can ptand that!" Ten minutes after uttering

(Sen. Leo determined to transfer his army
Into Maryland, thus changing the theatre of
war from the Interior to the frontier. On
Sept. ?, near tho mouth of the Monocaey, to
tho sounds of martial music, singing "Mary
land, My Maryland," tho "ragged rebels"
Crossed the Potomac, elated ard joyful at tho
accomplishment of their long cherished
dream. "Thousands," said Gen. I/H>, "are
without shoes." One of tuo olileers of loco's
Staff Bays that when, later, L.'o passed
through llager.stown, ono of a group of ladles
on tho sidewalk exclaimed, ns she iiis.t saw
Lee: "Oh, w hat a magnificent man; w hy is
ho not on our side I"
After tho battlo of Sharpsburg Leo with
drew again across tho Potomac, and tho ex

battlo of Frodericksburg followed, in which
Leo, Jackson, Longstreet and Stuart took
part against. Bumside.
The remainder of tbot bitter winter was
passed by Leo's army near Fredericksburg,
tho soldiers undergoing great Buffering. An
English gentleman visited Gen. I<eo about
this time, and describes him as .surrounded
by none of the pomp and ceremony consid

treated with profound respect and even filial

By tho last of June tho whole Confederate

1803, were ftce to face, nnd then began tho
memorable bat tlo of history which onded in a

which retreated tho next day. CoL Free

Last Days of tho Confederacy?l,oe'? (fur

Vleksburg fell, the Confederacy tottered,
but tho summer passed without further de
velopments. Tho winter of 18fl!)-04 found
Lee's army suffering for the means of
subsistence, and depleted by frequent deser

Wllderres?, where Gen. Jenkins foil dead nnd
Long'.treot was wounded. Then followed the
^att'es of B)>ottsylvanin Court House, and

When Leo's soldiers bad learned what had

voice ho said to tboilli "Men, wo have fought

In tho following August Con. Lee was pre

as tho Washington and I.C0 Ullivorsity, aud

The collego was in a dilapidated condition,

Valuable Inlbt-mut ion CoooernlUg
the Client Discovery <>l Jen tier.
The Cburlotto Medical Jour mil, a
publication that stands high with t I
medical profession, has the following
interesting article on tiie subj et o(
vaccination, which is timely ami
valuable to the general public just
now:
As the eighteenth century was draw
ing to a 01080, it Hashed before tho
world a brilliant discovery.
For twenty years an earnest patient
roseacher after truth had been warm* |
ing a spark into a glow, that was to
burst forth Illuminating tho darkness
by promised freedom from the most
dreaded of all discuses, saving thous
ands of lives, giving protection from
disgusting disease and death, and
making the name of "Jenner" immor
tal. Living millions owe their ex
istence to bis untiring perseverance,
with his gift of vaccination sm ill pox
ceased to be king of disease, und man
became its master saying, " thus far
shalltbou go and no further."
Si ice its origin away, baok in tho
dark aged, this monster had devoured
millions ol lives. In times paot an
army of men. women and children, live
hundred thousand strong have annually
been sacriticed by this dot troy er.
Three million and a half died of this
disease in Mexico In 1507, millions
perished in Brazil in 1503, It made
its appcaranoo in the Uolted states
with [rightful mortality In Kil'.t, and
oarried off thousands upon thousands
in Kussia in 1*1:!.
Today advancing civilization gives
no excuse for the wide spread epide
mics of this disease, for vaccination
having Btood the test of a century has
proven a weapon of sure defence.
In the vaccinated Cennun army of
the Franco-1 'russian war, there were
only two hundred and sixty-one cases
of trauli pox, while it attacked over
twenty-throe thousand ol the unvaccl
nated French.
With an enforced law compelling
vaccination during the first years of
life, to be repeated at the ago of
twelve, Germany has lowered her
j death rate from this disease to 1.7 per
hundred thousand, and in 1800 there
were only 1.18 cases to each million
population.
A careful review of tho mortality
tables of small pox shows a difference
in favor of vaccination of C$7.TS per
cent. With this great oloud of facts
before us, it seems beyond com prehen
sion that men living in thin enlighten1
ed age should doubt the eQloienoy of
vaccination, and yet this friend of
mankind has Buffered insult and abuse
and been so maligned in the community
where it was born that as It ncared its
centennial birthday, as if in punish
ment for their hardness of heart, and
to make them aoknowlcdgo It as a !_-ift
divine, the king of terrors broke loose
with unusual violence, and was not
subdued, Until, repenting they turned
from the errors of their ways and
sought its ever ready help.

Like all familiar customs whose origin
is lost in antiquity, the wearing of
orange blossoms at a wedding is ac
counted for In various ways. Bays an
exchange. Among other stories is the
following pretty legend from Spain :
An African king presented a Spanish
king with a magnificent orange tree,
whose creamy, waxy blossoms and won
derful fragrance excited the admira
tion of the whole court. Many begged
in vain for a branch of the plant, but a
foreign ambassador was tormented by
the desire to introduce so great a curi
osity to his native land. He used every
possible means, fair or foul, to accom
plish his pur nose, but all his i fforts
coming to naught, he gave up in
despair.
The fair daughter of tho court gar
dener vas loved by a young artisan, but
lacked the dot which the family con
sidered necessary In ah; ?de. One day.
obancing to break oil a spray oi orange
blossoms, the gardener thoughtlessly
gave it to his daughter.
Seeing the coveted prize in the girl's
hair, the wily ambassador ollored nor a
sum BUllloiont for the desired dowry,
provided sin; gave him the branch raid
say nothing about it. Her marriage
was book colebrated, and on her way
to the altar, in grateful remembrance
of the source of all her happ'nogs, she
secretly broke off another bit of the
lucky tree to adorn her half.
Whether the poor court! aroener lost
his head in consequence of his daugh
ter's treachery the legend docs not
state, but many lands now know the
wonderful tree, and i ver since that
wedding day .orange blossoms have been
considered a fitting adornment for a
bride.
