BERLIN, Oct. 18.--The people of Stras-
bourg are generally satisfied with the new
order of things. The French sentiment,
if there be any, has not shown itself of
fensively. Since the capitulation there
have been one or two instances of firing
on the German soldiers, while patrolling
the city, from the windows of houses.
The culprits were Immediately appre-
hended and brought to justice, with the
appreciation of all classes of citizens. The
official language in Alsace hereafter will

JACKsON,S MOTHER.

An anecdOte relative to his parting from
his mother in his outset in life illustrates
this as prominent in the attributes of his
nature at that time. The writer heard
him narrate this after his return from
Washington, when his last term in the
Presidential Office had expired
When about to emigrate to Tennessee,
the family were residing in the neighbor-
hood of Greensboro, North Crrolina.

step for some months, and had made ar
rangements to do so, and at length had
obtained my mothers consent to it. All
my worldly goods were very few dol
lars in my purse, some clothes in my sad
dlebags, pretty good horse, saddle and
bride. The country to which was going
was comparatively wilderness, and the
trip long one, beset by many difficult
ties, especially from the indians. l felt,
AMI so did my mother, that we were part
ing forever. KNEW she would not recall
her promise; there was too much spunk
in her for that, and this caused me to
linger day or two longer than l had in
tended.
'eBut the time came for the painful
parting. My mother was little, dumpy,
red-headed Irish woman. well, mother,
am ready to leave and must say fare
well. She took my hand and, pressing
it, said, Farewell and her emotion
choked her.

GEN. LEE.


Ane French and theAmorican wars
1.-The death of Gen. Lee viii bring every
mnere tributes to his military genius.
There are few events in all history more
striking than his defence of Richmond
from 1861 to 1866. With an army which
was not one-third, and during most of the
time one-quarter, as large IS the forces of
his enemy, and ill-snp Piled with mum ]
tons of war, he covered the Confederate
Capital successfully, and bid defiance to

abundantly supplied and splendidly
equipped, were hurled against him, only
to be badly defeated and thrown back on
their resources. He destroyed McClell
Ian, on the Peninsula, in July, 1862. He
beat Pope in August at Bull Run. ID
December, 1862, he routed Burnside At
fredericksburg. In 1868 he over
whelmed Hooker at ChancelIors
vile, and gained a most unparalleled
victory. From May to November, 1864
! his army killed and wounded more of
Grants troops than he had men, and the
former could never have entered the me-
tropolis of Virginia, had it not be en- for
the successes of Sherman on another linz

had military skill of the highest order.
He was the Ajax of the South. For
years his army alone, stood between them
and destruction. When he surrendered
and not until then, was the contest lost.
His genius was not, perhaps, so well
adapted to offensive warfare, but in the
defensive he was equal, if not superior, to
Fabius or Washington. With his small
resources no one could have done better.
The unfortunate invasions of MARYLAND
and Pennsylvania, in 1862 and 1863,
which ended in Antietam and Gettysburg,
were made against his advice and pro-
testation. 1t France had had such man
to maintain the integrity of her territory,
the Prusslans would not have been to-day
anywhere near Paris, and most likely
would have been expelled from French
soil. The odds which he commended
against were greater than hers. He was
a great captain in the science of military
tactics, and even before the rebellion, in |
1851, he had obtained the reputation, in |
the old Federal army, as being the ablest |
tactician in the service, which his after |
career fully justified. - Cincinnati En- |

The following is clipped from the
Lars Of Life:
Very few ladies know how to appre-
ciate an easy, healthful dress. They
think their dresses are loose, when a
man or boy put into one as tight would
gasp for breath, and feel incapable of
putting forth any effort except to break
the bands. Ladies are 50 accustomed to
the tight fits Of dressmakers, that they
fall all to pieces when relieved of them.
bed or lounge. TO be up, they must be
stayed up, and to recommend a comfort
able dress to them is not to meet con
scious want of theirs. 1t is great pity
none the less. If they could once know
what Il luxury it is to breathe deep and
full at each respiration, to feel the re-
freshmrnt which the ayatom takes on
by having the blood enlivened and sent
bounding through the arteric. ana
veins, to have the aids to digestion
which such process gives, to have their
own strong elastic muscle keep every
organ in place aud themselves erect; if
they could for a good while know this
blessed luxury, and then he sent back
into the old stiff strait jackets, they
would fune, and fret and rave in very
desperation if they could not get rid of
them. AS it is, they prefer to languish
and suffer dreadfu!ly, and die young,
and leave all their friends, and their
husbands and their little children, and
do not see any other way but to let
them be sick and die till they are salts
fled. If only the sinner was the sufferer
it would not be worth while to make a
great ado about it, but the blighting of
future innocent lives which must follow
renders the false habits of our women

that the prejudice of caste had ceased

moved all political disabilities from the

might one think that man who had
hob-nobbed with the nobility of Eng

had been received at court; who had
stretched his legs under the tables of
the aristocrats of the Old World, was
fit to be the guest of the best hotel in

with honor wherever he might choose
to claim admission. 1t would be reason
able to suppose that the landlords and

customarily exercise toward others.
