GENERAL GRANT As A DpLoMArrsr.-General
Grant has proved himself not onlya great stra-
tegist but great diplomatist His letter to
General Lee proposing to receive his surrender,
and announcing that he had but one condition
to require Of him, actually dsarmed the rebel
leader. He could not have declined the con-
dition had his army been in better condition
than IL was, for the reason that he could not
have made his iemoralized men fight the foe
who had SO magnanimously rendered such
generous terms He could not keep secret the
conditions offered. The appearance Of the flag
of truce and the conversation between the men
on the picket line were sufficient TO spread the
information; so that, from the moment that the
generous terms which Grant offered to Lee
we're delivered, the latter had an army which
he could not fight The only option left him
was to surrender IL.

CAUTION FROM THE

II having come to our know ledge that imita

publish the trade marks BY which our Watches
may invariably be known.
We manufacture four styles Of Watches.
The FiRsr has the name.

The SECOND has the name.
"APPLETON, TRACY / CO. Waltham
Mass, engraved on the inside plate.
The THIRD has the name

graved on the inside plate.
All the above styles have the name American

''WM. ELLERY, Boston, Mass" engraved
on the inside plate, and is not named on the

All the above described Watches are made Of
various sizes and are sold in gold silver cases,
As may be required.
Hishardly possible for us TO accurately de- scribe
the numerous mutations to which We have allud-
ed. They are usually inscribed with names so
nearly approaching our own as TO escape the ob

His daughter -in-law and neighbor woman,

decent burial. This was accordingly DONE
