Of way, utterly unconscious Of the
people about him, and seeming to
see nothing till his horse was led in
front of him. As be stood there he
appeared TO be about sixty years OF
age, a tall, soldicrly figure of II man,
with full gray beard, u new suit OF
gray clothes, a high, gray felt hat,
with cord, long buck-skin gaunt-
lets, high riding boots and u bcauti-
ful sword. lie was all that our fancy
had painted him, and he had tho
sympathy of us all as he rode away
Just as he gathered up his bride,
Gen. Grant went down the steps, and
passing in front Of his horse, touched
his hat to General Lee, who made n
similar salute, and then left the yard
and returned to his own lines with

quiet looking man in spectacles, look

action. Gen. Grant presented some
thing of contrast to Gen. Lee in
the way of Uniform, not only in color,
but in style and general effect. lie
had on n sugar-loaf hat, almost pecu-
liar to himself, a frock coat, unbut-
toned and splashed with mud, n dark
vest, dark blue pantaloons, tucked
into top boots, muddy also, and no
sword. His countenancc was not re-
laxed at all, and not muscle Of his
face told tales of his thoughts. If
he was very much pleased by the
surrender of Lee, nothing in his air
or manner indicated it. The joyful
occasion didn't seem TO awaken in
him responsive echo, and he went
and mounted his horse and rode
away silently, to send off dispatch
which should electrify the North, and
set all the church bells ringing on
this happy Sunday evening.
LOOKING AT THE BRIGHT SIDE.
Here is letter from n wife in Mas
sachusctts to her husband in Califor-
MIA. She don't intend going through
the world with the blues:
Ny dear husbands As il Is now
some time since you left for Califor-
mia, / suppose you would be glad to
hear how we are getting along in
your absence. am happy to say
we are enjoying very good health on
the whole. just at present two Of
the boys have got the smallpox,
Amanda Jane has got the typus fever,
Betsey is down with the measles,
Samuel got hooked by a COW the
other day, and little Peter has just
chopped of three of his fingers with
hatchet. II is mercy he didn't
chop them all of. With these triaing
exceptions, we are all well and get
ting along nicely. You needn't be
at all anxious about US. / almost
forgot to say that Sarah Matilda
eloped last week with a tin pcddlcr.
| Poor grill She's been waiting for a
chance, and I'm glad she's married
at last. She needn't have taken the
trouble to clopc though, for I'm sure
I was glad to have her go. She was
a great eater, and | find baked beans
don't get off near so fast as they did.
The way that girl would dip into
pork and beans was a caution to the
rest Of the family. The COW took i
into her head to run away, which
was very fortunate, l am sure, for
the barn caught FIRE last night and
was consumed. was in hopes that
the house would go too, for It's In
convenient; but the wind was the
wrong way, so i didn't receive much
