LOST BY THE LEES. Their Beautiful Estate Which is Now National Cemetery. | When General Robert E. Lie, of Confederate fame, left bis beautiful mansion at Arlington aod hastened to Riobmood to assome command of the troops of bis native state at tbe out? break of tbe oivil war, he left ooe of the most beautiful aod picturesque homes of the many for wbiob tbe south is noted The bouse and land have been in possession of tbe government almost from (be outbreak of tbe rebellion It was when Lee resigned hie commission io the Federal army and hastened to Riobmood with his family that tbe I Federal authorities, realising that tbe war was oo aod tbat the national capi? tal standing so olose to tbe borders of ooe of tbe seoediog states, would be a obief point of attaok by tbe enemy, determined to gain a point of vantage by occupying tbe bills tbat border tbe Potomae on the Virginia shore. Then snd theie Arlington passed into tbe I government's bands It was used for hospital purposes duriog tbe war, and later, at the suggestion of Quarter? master General M G. Meigs, made to Presidsot Lincoln, tbe magnifioent southern estate was converted into a military cemetery. HISTORIC HOME I Ooe oao see Arlingtoo House from Washington. It has a history wbiob is interesting Tbe bouse wss both in 1802 by George Washington Parse Custis, soo nf John Parke Curtis, whose widowed mother became Mrs Martha Washiogtoo, wife of Oeorge Washington. When Oolooel Custis died during the Revolutionary war Washington adopted the two ohildren as bis owo aod tbeooefortb they were mem? bers of tbe Washington household at Mt Vernoo When Washiogtoo died, however, youog Custis removed to the Arliogtoo estate. There ho lived like a southern gentleman, entertaining friends of prominence and of fame and enjoying distinotioo because of his elose relation to tbe famous general who had adopted him as his sou. It is said that among tbe distinguished men who were guests at Arliogtoo was LiFay ette, who, when he stood in tbe shadows of the Dorio oolomos tbat form tbe front portico aod gased as far as the eye could see, prooounoed tbe scene as one of the most beautiful he had ever look* ed opoo. Visitors today to the historic spot say likewise. I FAITH IN SUCCESS. Although the estate was held by the government from the time it first took possesatoo at the outbreak of the war, tbe oatioo bad oo title to it ontil it was porebassd for the paltry sum of {26, 100, wbeo it was sold for deiioquent taxes. That was in 1864, before the end of the war, aod tbe faot that it was purchased, lying in Virginia as it does, indicates the deep abiding faith that Linoolo aod bis followers had for the Nuooessful outcome of the war, for otberwieo it is oot possible that tbey would bave purobaied the site to be ussd as a national buriai groucd. in wbioh were tobe interred the remains of some 16 000 men who died to pre? vent the land whereio tbe estate lies from baooming a foreign territory Years after the war was over, wbeo tbe bitter feeling tbat it bad engendered had died out somewhat. Qeorge Washington Custis Lee, heir to the estate uoder ibe Costis will, socoess folly established bis title to tbe proper? ty aod a generous government adjusted I a settlement by paying him the sum of (150.000 REGIMENTS OF HEADSTONES. I If one were to ask me what the most impressive feature of tbe national oeroe tery is. I would st once reply tbat it is tbe regiments of headstones, all timilar ly out, bearing tbe name and regiment of tbe soldier sleeping beneath and arranged in battalion formatioo as if wailing for tbe oommaod oo the judg ment day. Toink of it, thousands opoo thousands of those headstones rising only a foot and a half from tbe ground stand there to mark the grave* of the fallen men Tbey reaob in all directions as far as tbe eye oao see It is a quiet spot., far removed from the city's roar. No rushing oars or hurrying feet disturb tbe slumbers of tbe dead Only tbe towering giant oaks stand seotioels, sod tbe wind moans a constant requiem through their branebes.

A British Convoy Captured. Six Guns and Large Number of Men and Wagons Taken. Bushman Kop, Saturday, Maroh 31 ?Tbe British foroe oommaoded by Col Broadwood, consisting of the Tenth Hussars, household cavalry, two horse batteries aod a foroe of mouotcd infantry uoder Coi Piiober, which had been garrisoning Thaba N'Chu, was obliged io cooscqueece of tbe Dear approaoh of a large foroe of Boers to leave last night. Col Broadwood marched to the BioemfoDteio waterworks, south of the Modder river where he eooampcd at 4 o'olock this morniog. At early dawo the camp was shelled by the eoemy from a poiut nearby Col Broadwood sent off a ooovoy with the batteries, while the rest of tbe foroe remained to act as a rear guard Tbe convoy arrived at a deep spruit where tbe Boers were ooocealed aod the entire body walked iuto ambush aod were captured together vntb sis guos. Tbe loss of life was not great since most of the British had walked into tbe trap before a shot was fired.

Lord Roberts own report of tbe affair, if yet reoeived by tho war office, has not been published and no account of tho affair is available to tbe publio except tho dispatch from Bushman Kop Nothing can be said, therefore, regarding the exaot extent of the British misfortune. Evidently Col Broadwood thought it ocoessary to retreat io haste from Tha ba N'Cbu as he marched all through Friday night, apparently followed by a considerable foroe of the eoemy. The ooovoy aod guns had to pass through a deep spruit which the Boers had oocu pied. Six of twelve guos. oomprisiog two batteries, all of tbe wagoos, aod it is feared many men, fell ioto the hands of the Boars, whose daring displayed so oear Bloemfonteio, shows that tbey are rapidly reooveriog heart after their reoeot reverses.

Severe criticisms are heard regardiog the renewal of the old mistake of underrating the Boers and the absence of proper precaution. No doubt the affair will revive Boer hopes aod iospire oonfideooe among the eoemy at a critical moment Great things are expected by the Boers of tbe new commander in obief, Gon Botha, who ha9 undo his reputa tion wholly during tbe prcsont, cam paign.

Small.] When the night gloom o'er the seal'd tomb of the Son of Man was rent, And the sweet sight of the dawn light came through eastern shadows spent, When the terror of their error wak'd the madmen from their sleep And tlie grieving, but believing, women sought his grave to weep, Then were given forth from heaven things we may not understand, | For the token seal was broken by an unseen spirit hand, And the waiting and the hating soldiers saw the blaze that shone From high heaven o'er the riven and rejected keeping stone! Then the mystery and majesty of Christ, the Lord, was shown, And the living power giving him the whole world for his throne, For the Risen One from prison of the grave came forth a King O'er the evil and the devil and the death law's dreadful ating! And the fearful, coming tearful, saw the Angel. heard him say, "He who slept here Is not kept here; he hatn gone bis sovereign way!" Sudden, glorious and victorious, came the fullness of their joy. And their sadness leaped to gladness that no doubt could e'er alloy I So the event of that moment to all people comes apace In the stories and the glories of the messages of grace, And the 3 early anthem clearly sounds the resur? rection psalm, And the yielded soul is shielded in the Christ life's boly calm! ?Atlanta Constitution. t I ft?
