General Il. E. Lee.

General R. E., Lee sailed on the steamer
Nick King, last Tuesday, to visit the grave of
his father, General Harry Lee (''Lght Horse
Harry situated at Dungeness, Cumberland
Island, on the coast of Georgia. l
General Henry Lee was, during the winter of
lSl7-1S, at the West Indies for his health. He
sailed from Nassau on the ship Betsy fol
Savannah, on the 10th February 1918.
Instead of landing at Savannah he only reach
ed Cumberland Island, where he was received
by Mrs. Shaw, the daughter of General Greene,
at the last house of his beloved commander and
friend aead d aa ~
He died soon after his arrival, on the 25th OF
march, lS1S 1t was doubtless consolation to
him, as he could not reach his home, to have
his last hours soothed by the tender care of the
daughter of one he so much revered, and to
know that his remains would be placed by the
side of his com, ade in arms.
One incident Of his death is worth recording
as showing how his veneration for Washington
and his fondness for expressing it clung to him
to the last. A surgical operation was proposed,
as offering some hope of prolonging his life
The surgeon urging this resort, his patient put
an end to the discussion by saying: My dear
and Joining you in advocating it, | would still
resist" Hfc ta
Dungeness is now the property Of Mr.. VIM
Nightengale, a grandson of General Greene
and whose guest General Lee is at the present
time. The latter will probably return to Sa-
vannah by the end of the week, and remain
here until the time arrives for his departure fo,
Virginia. So our Florida friends, who hav
expressed such anxiety to greet the old hero
will probably be disapp pointed unless they come

The Beautiful Land.

There are brighter skies than these l know
Lands where no shadows lie
Fields where immortal flowers bloom
And founts that are never dry;
Where are domes where the stars are never dim
Where the moon forever gleams
And the music bright of the radiant hills
Sweeps DER the crystal streams:
For often L have caught in the time of sleep.
A gorgeous glimpse of the hidden deep
Away in the land of dreams =
When night lets down her pail of mist
On slender cords of air
And the purple shadows of dying day
Are teeming everywhere
While unseen fairies chant a Law
In the lilly's silver cells;
And the solemn voice the harmless winds
Breaks up the dreary fells; ~
know by the cry of my soul within,
There's a place where they shut the gates of sin.
And the God of glory dwells.
The wall of wind, the rivers voice --
The arch of western HILL
The beauty spread on the living earth
=. In slumbrous twilight stills -
The yearnings of each human heart.
For holier, better cline
A higher life than this mortal course. Ea ..
Bearing the seal divine! -

Chesaneake & Ohio R. R.

The Kanawha Republican contains glowing
account of the commencement of work On the
western division Of the Chesapeake and Ohio
railroad near Charleston on the 9th instant At
an early hour the mighty roar of cannon rever
berated over hill and dale, and the people for
miles around crowded into the town. In the
afternoon there was procession from the capi-
tol to the point selected for the ceremonies of
the occasion. "The meeting was called to Or
der and Gods blessing invoked upon the great
undertaking. Several speeches by prominent
gentlemen were then delivered The Repub-
kcon says:
''Col. w. A. Kuper being unavoidaby absent,
Capt. George c. Dickinson. resident engineer,
filed his place by handing the gilt shovel with
which the work was commenced to Mr.. FL. G..
Parsons, one of the directors of the Chesa peake
and Ohio railroad, who made splendid rail
road speech, in which he located the workship
Of the world in the great Kanawha Valley. The
shovel was then presented by Captain Parsons
to Governor Stevenson, who, after few plea
SAINT remarks in regard to the Importance of the
work, shoveled the first dirt on the Chesapeake
and Ohio railroad. Thus the great work was
commenced and the people of Kanawha Val
ley feel assured that the time is close at hand
when the cars will daily pass their doors. At
night there was brilliant display of fireworks,
music by the band, and everybody seemed to
rejoice in the privilege of participating in this
grand event. .
