Lee. - but Lo the recollection of his gallan h try, was it due that Gen. lFitzhugh Lee, now Democratic candidate for Governor of Virginia, became a cen tre of interest. Of Indiuin height and broad buld, rugged cheeks and courtly manner, he was the picture of an American man. Words would not answer him to express his satis faction at the warm reception given him and his fellow Southerners at the hands of the North. lie said that when he was riding in the funeral procession with Gen. Gordon as an aide to Gen. Hancock. he was filled with emotion upon seeing a picture of Gen. Grant with the inscription below: "Let them have their horses; they will need them for their crops." ~ That line brought Apponattox back to me like sonic sad dream," said Gen. Lee to a Herald renorter. "It was a touching coincidence. Gen. Gordon and I were the two remain ing corps commanders of the three who were with Gen. Lee when Grant gave utterance to that maguanimous sentiment. Gen. Gordon saw the in scription the same moment that Idid and our eyes instinctively met as we rode by. I don't know what Gen. Gordon felt. I was ready to use my handkerchief. You can't imagine what those words implied. In the Confederate army every man had to supply his own horse, while in the Union army everything was supplied by the Governiment." General, what do you think this demonstration means ?" asked the reporter, referring to Gen. Grant's funeral. "It means that the Union is now more firmly and inseparahly united than it was twenty years before Bu. chanan's Administration. The war was the inevitable culmination of dif ferences that had to be settled by blood. Before the war there was al ways talk of breaking up the Union and secession, whenever any issue was brought up for national arbi ra tion, and the South would invariably threaten secession if her whims were not gratified. Of course. immediately after the war, wounds were fresh and there was little show of any disposi tion for reconciliation. But, notwith standing this fact, a reconciliation would have been effected had it not been for the policy of the Adminis tration succeeding Mr. Lincoln's. The Government then sent men down South to rule us who were unprinci pled and unfair, and the colored man was placed in our Legislatures to make laws for us. This was too se vere a transformation, and the South felt that she was being belittled. It was putting the bottom rail of the fence on top. The people got so they didn't take any interest in the Gov ernment nor the country. Any insig nificant little carpet-bagger would be sent down there and boosted into Congress, and our own men would be thrust in the shade. I am a strong Democrat and talk strong Democrat ic principles, and I'm going to add that this was done for no other pur pose than to perpetuate the Republi can party in power. "But now, God be praised, all that is gone by. That was the work of -politicians, and the South has found out that the people of the North the body of the people I mean-had no hand in it. Old issues are eradi cated in the South now. The colored -man is no longer regarded as an usurper, and he feels that he will not be returned to slavery. We don't want men to represent us whlo will constantly wave the bloody shirt. The people have come to love the - North for the grand, magnanimous, Sfraternal treatment they have re - ceived since the war, and they have i been longing for this grand opportu a nity, which has at last been afforded, t to express their hearty good will for I the Union. No man has done more, S- and neither has any circumstance -nor series of circumstances, to propi tiate the feelings of the South and e bring about this grand millennium, i than 6-en. Grant. The sufferings of a Gen. Grant awakened the sympathy of the whole South, and the whole I South is glorying in the treatment its t old commanders are receiving. Just think of it. Here are Gen.

' One day while we were discussing a e intelligence of the ditTerent ani- Ili mils. and I had told him a story d bout a hunting dog I owned that u ould imitate the call of the wild 1; irkey, lie said :o "Alex. did I ever tell you about t iat tame crab I owned in G alveston. o efore the war ?'' b "No, you never did. that I renem- e Pr.,r Swcn.. before I owne'd that crab '1 sed to think that dogs were intelli- to ent, but that crab laid over them u 11.

"O, pshaw !"' "I thought so, at least, so I said to musan: 'Let him live. I can do ithout crab to-night.' And then I -ou should have seen the p)oor crea tire frisk around and wag his all I rith gratitude-just like a dog. iIe ras so grateful that from that time m he would go out in the yard every norning, and bring me in the morn g paper from where the carrier boy ad thrown it."

As I afterwards learned, e had been to every billiard saloon n Galveston looking for me." 1 didn't say much. I could not 1elp thinking that Beasly was exag ;erating a little, so I said: "Beasly, sooner or later you will tell lownright lies, if you don't put on he brakes.' -I might do that if I waro~t care 'ul to confine myselt to facts," he eplied; ' but you will be astonished wheni I tell von how Bartholomew ~ollowed me to Houstor'. "Why, Houston is fifty miles from 3 alvestoa" "I know it. Just before I left I saidl to my wife : -Susan, I am go .ng to hIouston this' afternoon; be :arefu to shut up Bartholomew; or ie wilt follow me.

The discourse was one series of witticism, original utteran ces and humorous sayings. About 1,400 people came to hear Rev. Sam, but only about 800 could get into the house. Mr. Jones married Miss Laura McElwain, deceased, who lived about three and a half miles Northeast of c Eminence, where her mother still re sides, and whose guests the family of Mr. Jones are and have Leen for the past two weeks.
