The Famous Apple Tree.

The Montgomery PacdyUne contains
an interesting account of Lees surren-
der, from which we take the following:
Livery now and then we see in our ex-
changes erroneous descriptions of the
surrender at Appomattox, and how Gen.
eral Lee stood and surrendered under an
apple tree-how General Grant admired
General Lees sword, and returned it,
remarking that Lee was too brave
man to be without sword, &c. Vb
Gentle reader, none of these things
happened. Lee did not surrender under
an apple tree. He did not offer his
sword to Grant. Grant did not admire
the weapon and return it. If our read
ers will bear with us, we will
give the surrender as we saw it. =
"General Lee, viewing the hope
less conflict from distance, dispatches
a flag of truce to Grant-the strife ends,
and the hostile lines are drawn back
While this correspondence was going
on, and while General Lee was waiting
the arrival of General Grant, he took
shelter from the sun under an apple
tree in McLane's orchard, under which
Colonel Talcott, of the engineer corps,
had placed some rails for a seat, and
fully half mile from Appomattox.-
Grants arrival on the outskirts of his
army was soon announced. Lee. in a
full suit of gray. with his English sword
girded to his side, riding forward on his
gray to meet Grant-he was a warrior
at whom history itself might stoop to
gaze The interview between the op-
posing chieftains was severely simple;
but few attendants present. 1t took
place between the pickets of the
two armies, and lasted only a few
minutes. Grant apologized. for not hav-
ing his sword, which was behind in his
wagon. The,terms were agreed upon,
and Lee rode back to his army. Com
missioners on either side were appointed
to arrange details. The surrender be-
came known; land then to us for two
days, a blank. Lists of our names were
made out, and two days afterward, with
heavy hearts, we filed by, brigade at
time, before line of captors, and de-
posted our banners and arms General
Lee rode homeward on the third day,
and all was over.
"McLane's orchard, in which the tree
was under which General Lee stood,
was all cut down by relic worshippers.
So much for the apple tree" 'r

ADecdote ofThaddeus Stevens.

Hinton, good writer and good SOL
dier, and good fellow, moreover, told
me this story of Thaddeus Stevens to-
day, to show the old mans tenacity of
opinion: He was plowing in an ANA
teur way, with pair Of new horses he
had bought, in order to adapt them to
carriage, He could not get the share to
run deep enough, and gave the horses a
cut with the whip. OFF they went under
the smart, struck stone, and broke a
piece of wood from the plow frame,
which flew forward and stung them into
an absolute runaway. They dashed
across field, hedge, fence, and the
old man followed with his sardonic
pace. as
Presently neighbor rushed back.
: "Oh! Mr.. Stevens, seen 'em, seen
'em; they were going like fortyl"
(Which was ahead Which was
ahead 2'' said Thad. earnestly.
-1"Why, him with the white star on the
forehead p' s -,
There !'' said Stevens triumphantly,
'tthe man I bought them of argued with
me an hour that t'other one was the fast
est, and knew was right ]"
