Writing the CLOSING scenes" In the
history of Generl Lees army, J.
Quitman Moore, Esq. thus thrills a
chord that viii vibrate forevcrA-thus
bequeaths a gem to the literature OF
the South.
There stood the mournful remnants
OF that once glorious army, that had
dipped its conquering banners in the
crimson tide of eight and twenty san.
culinary battles, and strewn its heroic
mountains to the gates of Its own
capitat city, that gave Manassas to
i5eauregard, and twined the fame of
the Seven Pines battle In the laurel
wreath Of Johnson that had caused
the waters Of the Shenandoah eter-
nally to murmur the name of Stone
wall Jackson; and, stretching Its
right arm out to the distant West,
bad planted victory on the dropping
banners OF Bragg thot had Witness
ed four gigantic campaigns, and
through oil their shifting and tragic
scenes, and under all difficulties And
DANGERS had remained steadfast and
faithful to the last. And after hav-
ing witnessed the rising Of the South
ern constellation, as IL loomed IN
brightly on the horizon Of war, pur-
suing, to itssplendid zenith, the fiery
path of Mars, now beheld, not un-
moved, its declining splendors going
down in the eternal gloom OF night.
And he, Its illustrious chief, whose
lofty plume WAS ever Its fallying
point in battle, and around whom its
affections ever warmly clustered, now
commended 1t for it's past devotion,
and bade 1t adieu forever. Slowly
and sadly he rode from that mournftil
Held, and the cause that he had
fought for was beneath the foot OIL
Power. Few were the eyes that grew
not moist at witnessing that depart
ure. 1t was the agony Of u great
cause, finding expression i'm the sub
lime soul of its great defender. And,
though that cause be dead, yet will
Its memory continue to live, and ever
honofed will be those names that
were sacrificed at It's affairs. And, on
the scroll of fame, no name among
the list of eminent WORTHLESS will
shine In a purer, serener, or more re-
splendent light than that of Robert
Edmund Lee. His fame Is monu-
mental. His name Will be placed by
the side az those great Captains Of
history-of Marlborough and Sake,
OF Tilly and Eugene; and as ldiig as
the fame Of the Southern struggle
shall linger In tradition and song,
will his memory be cherished by the
DESCENDANTS of the Southern race
while his character will stand up In
the twilight Of History, like some
grand old Cathedral, lifting itself in
imperishable beauty, above the OBJ
jects Of earth, majestic In its vast
proportions, awful in its solemn state
Illness, sublimein its severe simplicity.

Bile deed. A life Of crime was whiten-

skill Of this man, the door sprung
back upon its hinges, and we stood
within the portals where the issue oi
this strange mystery was to be deci-
ded. Silently we assembled the stairs.
A gas flame, burning from a globe,
suspended from the ceiling, flung q
mellow light along the stately corri-
dor. At the further end Of the hall,
a door opened into large apartment.
We moved toward this, and as we ap-
preached il sounds of weeping struck
on our ears, and then we heard a
voice of supplication. Sorr0wful and
sad the strange, sweet voice fioated
on the air. 1t was like the wall of a
broken heart, that cry of one in dis

room.
1t took but a moment to secure her,
and then the mystery was solved.
She was the aunt of the actress

She had secreted herself In the pas

advantage of momentary delay
had secured her victim. In the strug-
gle an ear ring was torn off. A pow
erful narcotic suddenly applied,
drowned her senses and stopped resis-
tance. She was behind the drop cur
tain as we rushed In. Leaving while
we Were yet in the green room, she
made her escape along the isle that
led to the street.
This was the end. 1t made a sem
sation at the time, but 1t was, until
now, an unwritten history of the
world of crime In New Orleans twen-
ty years ago.-M O. Picdyane.
