Fredericksburg, Va, where his mother re-
sided, on his return from Yorktown in
October, 1871, the people came in crowds
to greet him, but his mother, though
proud of her son, was unmoved by the no
nors paid to him. When the trilmphal
procession entered the town, she was pre-
pairing yarn for the weaver of cloth for her
servants, and was thus occupied when her
honored son entered the house. 81 am
glad to see you, George, you have altered

during the whole interview not word was

and memorable reply was, 4 am not sur
