THE FAMOUS APPLE TREE.

The Montgomery PicdBHe contains
an interesting account Of Lees surren-
der from which we take the following:
Every now and then we see in our
exchanges erroneous descriptions OF
thesurrender at Appomattox, and how
Gen. Lee stood and surrendered un-
der an apple tree-how Gen. Grant adj
mired Gen. Lees beautiful sword, and
returned it, remarking that Lee was too
brave a man TO be without weapon,
&C., &c.
"GentIe reader, none of these things
happened. Lee did not surrender un-
der an apple tree. He did not offer
his sword to Grant. Grant did not adj
mire the weapon and return if. If our
readers will bear with US, we will give
the surrender as we saw it.
& ''Gen. Lee views the hopeless
conflict from distance, dispatches a
flag of truce to Gen. Grant, the struggle
ends, and the hostile lines are drawn
back. While this correspondence was
going on, and while General Lee was
waiting the arrival Of Gen. Grant, he
took shelter from the sun under an APP
pie tree in McLane's orchard, under
which TalcOt, of the engineer corps, had
placed some rails for a seat, and fully
half a mile from AppOmatOX. Gen.
Grants arrival on the outskirts of the
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 to whom history itself might
stoop to gaze. The interview between
the opposing chieftaiEs was severely
simple, but few attendants present. 1t
took place between the pickets of the
two armies and lasted only a few min
utes. Grant apologized for not having
his sword which was behind in the
wagon. The terms were agreed upon,
and Lee rode back to his army. Com
missioners on either side were appoint
ed to arrange details. The surrender
became known, and then, to us, for
two days a blank. List Of our names
were made out and two days afterwards,
with heavy hearts, we filed by, brigade
at time, before line of captors, and
deposited our banners and arms. Gen.
Lee rode hOmeward on the third day,
and all was over.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. N.-Detail5 Of
the destruction of property in the inte-
rior of the State by the earthquake Of
the Dist have been received. Alame-
da county suffered the most damage to
property, extending in all directions
back to San Lcandro. Numerous fis-
sures of earth were made, from some
of which came clouds of dust and 9TH
ers volumes of water. San Lcandro
creek, which for months was dry, is
now running rapidly. The villages of
San Leandro and hayward are almost
in ruins. The brick buildings are all
thrown down or uninhabitabIe There
was only one building uninjnred at AL
amado. BrooklanG and Oakland also
suffered severely. San Jose, Redwood
City, Great Brick and Adobe House
and The Mission Of San Jose are a mass
of ruins. Pet0lauma. Iiealthsburg,
Santa Rosa Valley aud MARTINEZ all
felt the full force Of the shock. Chin
/ neys and walls were thrown down.
The damage to property is considerable
at Los Angeles. In the State Of Neva.
da the earthquake was scarcely felt.
The San Francisco committee ofaroh-
itects report the city hall unsafe, and
the building is to be taken down.
Damage to the school houses Is trihing,
and the schools open as usual on Mon
day next. The United States marine
hospital building has been condemned,
and will be demolished. The patients
at present are encamped on the grounds
adjoining the hospital, The custom
house is wrecked to such an extent that
it will probably not be occupied again.
Laborers are at work to-day on the
shattered building and removing debris
| from the streets.

FINS.

The election is over. The Democra-
cy have been beaten-beaten but not
conquered. Radicalism has been saved
BY the military prestige Of Grant.
Saved ? We-shall see. We believe it
has been destroyed by the election of a
man 'without a policy"
Grant, as President, must do one of
two things, viz: He must administer
the government within the Constitu-
ton, or he must become a despot. If
he does the former, he will be Demo-
cratic President; if the latter, his fate
will he that of every tyrant that ever
undertook to enslave a free people,
Let us hope for the best. Perhaps it
is all the better for the Democracy that
they have not been made the admins
traitors Of the rotten estate of the Radi-
cal party. Now the Radicals can make
their own settlement with the people.
They will have to do it soon, and do it
thoroughly, or they will be held to a
fearful account.
We give below the political complex
ionof the several states, as reported by
telegraph:

In Rochester, n. Y, a woman named
Mary Swingler has just been sentenced
to the Penitentiary for six months for
abominabIe cruelty toward her adopted
daughter seven years old. 1t was al
legged by the prisoner that the little
girl had stolen piece Of candy, and it
was to deter her from committing fur
ther thefts that she punished her in
the manner she did. BY roasting the
little ones hands over the stove she
said she intended to give her an idea
Of what hell is, place to which she
would surely go if she stole any more.
She thought it her duty to punish the
child to save its soul from perditi0n,
and nothing could so well convey her
idea of perdition TO the little ones ten
der mind as roasting its hands over a
young hell" the whitening fire Of a
cooking stove. The eXclamations Of
the girl, "Oh! mother, it hurts 30
ooh mother, it hurts awfully!" and
the noise of the cracking flesh did not
make the woman desist, and only the
interference ofneighbors prevented her
from infiicting injuries which, doubt
less, would have proved permanent.
But few women in the city have a
more benevolent and peaceable look
ing cOuntenance than hers.
Another horrible story comes from
Worchester, Mass: Mrs. Catharine
Connor, residing on Foy street, COM
mitted a series of outrages on her lit
tie daughter last week that should draw
/ down upon her head the hottest OF
/ public Indignation. Last Friday night,
I bitter and biting in its extreme cold
ness, she stripped the little Lizzie,
who is about eleven years old, and
/ turned her naked into the cold night
/ and dark street. The little thing laid
down under tree and cried herself tC
/ sleep. The same inhuman treatment
was practised on the succeeding night
and on Saturday morning the child
was found and cared for by IA kind
neighbor. An appeal was made to the
mother for the chiId's clothes, but shG
refused to give them up, and since
then the child has been fed and cloth
ed by strangers.

KEEP WARM AND SAVE Your
LIFE.-At this season many deaths
take place which might be prevented
by warmer clothing Many a fatal
case Of dysentery is caused by the
wantof wooden undershirt or of an
extra blanket at night. The sudden
changes of temperature which occur at
this period of the year are very trying
to the constitution. People with weak
lungs quickly feel the effect Of them.
Frequently the thermometer falls
many degrees within a few hours. Not
only the feeble, but robust and strong
persons suffer from such great varia-
tions of temperature. When the
weather grows cold rapidly, the pores
of the skin are suddenly closed, and
the result frequently is a bad cold,
which many hold on all winter and
terminate in consumption, or fatal
attack of dysantery, or that dreadful
disease the typhoid fever.
If the day seems ever so warm and
bright, it is much safer to wear plenty
Of undertaking at this season. In the
evening the dews fall, and it grows
chilly very suddenly. At all times,
even when it feels warmest, one eX-
periences the difference which is so
marked, between the autumn atmos-
phere and that Of the summer. There
! is something more than the mere diff
ference in temperature it may be in
the electricity, An occasional fire in a
room dries the wall and purifies the at
mosphere. \ little timely attention
to all these things would prevent a
/ great deal Of the disease and sufferings
which are among the ills to which hui
manity is liable.

CURE FOR IN-GROwING NAILS
1t is stated that cautarization by hot
talloW is an immediate cure for in
growing nails, Put small piece OF
taIIow in a spoon, and heat it over a
lamp until it becomes very hot, and
drop two or three drops between the
nail and granulation. The effect is al
most magical. Pain and tenderness
are at once relieved, and in few days
the granuIations all go, leaving the
diseased parts dry, SO as to admit of
being pared away without any incon-
venience. The operation causes little
if any pain, if the tallow is properly
heated,

PRETTY GOOD.-Many incidents Of
an amusing character happened during
the late war, which have never found
their way into print, but which are too
good to be lost. The following, we be-
lieve, has not heretofore met the public
eye:
Wash Petty, a noted bushWhacker,
whilst foraging in Southwest Missouri
with his followers, rode UP to a farm
house whose owner was known to have
ample provisions for man and beast,
but whose politics were best known to
himself. Petty and his men being
dressed in Federal uniform, We're mis-
taken by the farmer for jayhawkers.
He began to declare most positively
that he was 'Union man; God never
made better" Petty said, 'we are
hunting your sort we are rebel BUSH
wackers." Whereupon the farmer
changed his tactics and declared just as
positively that he was Southern
man." ''Look here old man, D" said Pet
ty, "you don't know to which side we
belong, and you must take one side or
the other, and stick to it; if you hap
pen to take the wrong side We'll
kill you" This staggered the old
man considerably, but after thinking a
minute, he said "Well, | said at the
start l was a Union man, Tll stick to il
if it is id lie"
He was left to enjoy his peculiar O.
piniOn without further molestatiOn.
