The Last Scenes Of the Apo
mattOx Surrender.

John Estcn Cooke, in his now
book, "Hammcr and Rapicr," says:
The day passed, and tho night
on the 10th tho army surrendered
formally, stacked arms, abandoned
their columns, and dispersed to
thoir homes. The Federal COM
mandor had acted throughout all
with tho generosity Of q soldier
and tho breeding of q gentleman.
Not a choer was heard, not n band
played in the Federal army.
When far off q shout roso ovcr tho
woods, one of tho Federal officers
hastencd to apologize forit.
"That is tho rear guard-thcso
fellows did mono Of tho fighting"
Those who fought-the veteran
army of the Potomac, tried in
battle, in victory, in defeat, in all
tho hard lifo of tho soldior---they
did not cheor whom their old ad-
versaries surrendered. They wero
silent, and salutod when n ragged
Confederate passed. Thoy felt
what surrender must be to tho
mon Of that army which they had
fought for four yoars--and not q
oheor or a brass band was heard.
Why hnmiliato their old one
mics? Why make moro bittor
thoir misfortune
On tho 10th Of April, 1865, tho
old soldiers of tho Army Of the
Potomac stretched tho hands OF
comrades to tho foe they had
fought so long. To-day they arc
rcady to do as much, if tho civilians

his assets should equal fifty per

his estate upon which, he, shall be
liable as principal debtor, unless tho
assent in writing Of q majority in
tho number and valuo of his cred
itors, to whom no shall have be-
como liable as principal debtor and
who shall havo proved their claims,
be filed at or before the time of
the application for n discharge.
Thero is no provision for ascer-
tanning tho value of those assets /;
prima facie, thoy amount to tho
sum at which they are set down
in tho bankrupt's schedule, and in
the absence Of the proof to tho
contlary<rit would obviously be
the duty of'the Reglstcr to certify
'Confovnity' in case ouch sum
whoro equal to one hay Of the
amount Of tho claims prored before
him upon which tho bankrupt is
liable as principal.
In large majority of cases no
claims at all are provided; and in
such case tho District Court Of
New Jersey held that although no
assets ,cere reported in the schedule,
yet, as no debts ,oere prored, the Pc
ttioner ,oas entitled to his discharge.
But upon tho other branch of
tho case, the bankrupt was only
to got a majority in number and
amount Of such Of his creditors rs
have proved their claims, and to
whom he is liable rs principal
debtor, to sign simple consent to
his discharge. Tho small. proper
ton of the creditors who aro ac-
customed to prove their claims
renders this in many cases no task
ut all.
1t is said that in proceedings
undcr tho Massachusetts Insolvcnt
Act, which contains q similar pro.
vision, though more complicated
and difficult, not single case has
occurred in which tho petitioner
failed to got his discharge.
Tho position alluded TO as taken
by tho United States District
Court for Now Jersey is considered
sound and. covers the cases of
many in this State, who can now
file their petitions in bankruptcy
with tho reasonable expectation
that in tho duo timo they will Oh.
tain discharges from their debts.
Persons liable for security debts
to any amount whatever, whose
assets equal fifty per ccntum OF
tho claims upon which they are
liable as principal, can obtain dis.
charges in bankruptcy though ali
their creditors should prove their

Profit ON Small Farms.

In John Eston Cookies novel,
"Thc Heir Of Gaymount," running
through tho numbers of Tho Old
Guard, we havo occasionally somo
notions that would have boon con-
sidcrcd hcrotical somc years since.
Thus, his hero talks after tho
following fashion:
"Why should tho old Virginia
planter, with his ton thousand
acres, aud his fivo hundred SCR
wants, fash his head about grape
raising, and truck. and all that?
lIo WAS obliged to raise SO much
corn and wheat for his immense
household; he sold tho surplus
only, and made his profits from
tobacco. That WAS enough, how
cvor, it mado him rich. IIe ship
pod it to England to his factor;
tho ship brought back overy lux
ury, velvet coats, laccs and silks,
vino and now books, and plato and
jewels if ho wished them he had
all that ho wanted, this good gen
tlcman with his ten thousand
acres. We'll, tho consequences ?
Why. that ho cultivated only corn,
wheat and tobaceo; they sufficcd
for him and ho saw no reason to
change his crops. And when his
son and his grandson; and his
grcat-grandson succeeded him
they in turn said to themselves,
farming is raising corn, wheat
and tobacco, nothing clso.' We'll,
that answered for n season but
tho estates began to dwindlo. Tho
family divided tho cstatc--Primo-
geniturc having boon abolished
and when the grandson camo to
tho old house, "a head Of tho fami-
ly, he found tho estate no longcr
ton thousand, but ono thousand
acres"
"Enough, 1 think, in all con-
science, still"
"Yos, but not when divided in
turn. That day came, and tho
one thousand acres was cut up in.
to four or five portions. Tho
eldest son had q grand house, and
about t,co hundrcd acres"
"Wcll, that is enough still.
at ought to be, but it is not.
Why ? Because tho owner of tho
two hundred acres believes, that
the only crops to raise aro corn,
tobacco and wheat. Well, ho trios
to 1.-Two in that manner, and hi,
hired labor swallows up tho whole
proceeds nearly. His groat-grand-
father planted corn, etc. Why
