What Grhnt Whi pered to Lee.

When Lee and Grant met at the
house of Mr.. Mclean, near Apo
mattox Court House, to arrange for
the capitulation of the army of North
ern Virginia, an incident occurred
which has remained unexplained for
over six years. The terms Of the
proposed surrender were discussed
freely and openly. Drawing his chair
mp to that of the Confederate chief
tain, Grant whispered a few earnest
words in the earof Lee. A naughty
shake of the head from the latter,
and brief answer in undertone, evil
IDENTIFY of peremptorily negative or
der was noticed by those in atten-
dance. The import of that bit of
mysterious by-play has just been fur
nished for the first time. In the Au-
gust number of old and New, Ed
ward A. Pollard, the historian of the
Confederacy, reveals the secret. The
whispered confab was nothing less
than proposition from Grant that
Lees soldiers should then and there,
subscribe to the oath of allegiance,
in which event the Federal satrap
guaranteed that they should be re-
stored, on the spot, to all the rights,
privileges and immunities Of Ameri-
can citizens.
If a long and bitter subsequent
experience ofiGrant's audacity had
not blunted the country's tenderness
in the matter Of being snubbed, over
ridden, and lashed, this astounding
declaration mightsbe expected to Gre
ate "a profound sensation. By what
right a paid military servant Of the
nation should arrogato to himself the
functions OF Congress and President,
perhaps the tuning Radical newspa-
pers that raised sub howl Of an
guish over the famous negotiation,
between Generals Sherman and John
ston, a few days later, will now rise
and explain. n.-Chicago Times.

Your House.

Be true to yourself at the start, young
man,
Be true to yourself and to God;
Ere you build your house, mark well the
spot,
Test ali the ground, and build you not
On the sand or the shaking sod.
Dig, digthe foundation deep, young man,
Plant firmly the outer wall;
Let the props be strong and the roof be
high,
With an open turret toward the sky,
Through which heavens dews may fall
Let this be the room fthe soul, young
man,
When shadows shall herald care:
y chamber with never roof or thatch
TO hinder the Lighter door or latch
To shut in the spirits prayer!
Build slow and sure-'tis for life, young
man,
A life that outlives the breath;
For who shall gainsay the holy word2
Their words do follow them," saith. the
Lord,
"Therein there is no DEATH"

Let your title. deeds be clear and bright,
Till you enter your claim to the Lord OF

F" Allminax. A couple of4uneduca-
ted but apparently well-to-do Boston
men, in active business, on Saturday
last, came together upon busy street
corner, where for a few minutes they
had red-hot chat over some trivial
business matter. The pith of the
thing was this: One had been doing
something for the other, and to get
even for his work, had sent in. his
bill, which was regarded as rather
steep. After a little savage and
rather profane talk, the man who
had done the work Strengthened
himself out and sugared the thing off
into a bit of Josh philosophy,
and in very cool but dignifed man
ner said to him interrogatively
well, amt it better to be a id

Not One of Them Ar Sort.

At a session Of the Circuit Court
of Mississippi, at a county term, the
lawyers were in the habit Of putting
up at a house of entertainment kept
by a buxom widow lady, Of a very
high sense of propriety and great
dignity of department. This lady
presided at the head of the table
during meals, and the place Of honor
at her right hand was regarded as
due to the most staid, proper and
elderly member of the bar. By
unanimous consent of the lawyers,
Colonel B-,a a very modest, dis
Greet and pious counsellor, was elect
ed for this distinction. Now, though
possessing many sterling virtues, Colo
mel B-possessed one weakness,
but it was not a weakness of the
head or heart, but of the eyelids.
He had the habit of winking inces-
sanity and involuntarily, which, with
persons who did not know the cause
of it, left an unfavorable impression
of the Colonels seriousness and sin
certify. 90 .y,,;,g.
1 Whenon the first occasion the
Colonel took possession Of the seat
nearest to mine hostess his bland
and amiable expression and dignifed
address created lutte favorable i'm
preston upon her ladyship. The
soup was over and the hostess began
to ply the Colonel with various
tempting Dishes all of which he &C.
cepted or declined with a pleasant
smile, and with his invariable wink.
At last it was perceptible to the COM
pany that the hostess wasieyeing her
distinguished guest rather inquirs
ingly and significantly; these CLAN
ces were always met by the Colonel
with his usual smile and wink. FL
nallv, to the horror of the bar and
utter annihilation of the worthy
Colonel, the hostess slapped the table
Indignantly with her right hand, and
fixing her eyes very. pointedly and n
fercely upontbe objectof her wrath,
cried out at the top Of her voice:
You sancti6ed, weazen faced old
villain, I'lldet you know I'm mot one
of them ar sort r
What might have followed this ex-
plosion of wrath it would be impos-
sible to conjecture, as the unfortunate
possessor Of the weak eyelids de-
camped in haste from the seat of
honor, and he never after could be
persuaded to act the agreeable to
buxom widows. -. a - =

South Carolina Phosphates,


Several years ago an. underlying
deposit was discovered around Char
lsston, S. c., which, upon analysis,
WAS found to be phosphate rock, COM
posed largely Of bones of extinct ami
mails and fishes. It's fertilizing quail
ties have lately made it prominent
among the commercial manures of the
day. The bones of mammoths, mas
tadons, megatheriums, myladons, meg.
alonyxes, phocadons, and of several
extinct species Of the saurian genus
are found in abundance. Bones and
teeth of horses, dogs, sheep, cattle,
and hogs are also found, mingled oc-
casionallywith human bones, stone
hatchets. antique crockery, &c. This
rock, when ground fine, is said to
equal calcined bone, having seven
per cent. OF organic animal matter,
highly nitrogenous, and Welding one
and a half per cent. of ammonia.
Fifteen COMPANIES, WILL OH @SSio
gate capital of over two millions, are
now engaged in manufacturing COM
raercial fertilizers from this material.
1t is ground fine and mixed With sui
phuricfacid, which, by abstracting a
portion Of its limy base, leaves it a
superphosphate. A little Peruvian
gnano adds greatly to its value. In
1867 FIVE tons OF this manure were
shipped to Europe for experiment, in
1868 this export arose to thirty tons,
and in 1869 to 5000 tons. Compa-
MES are now shipping 1000 tons per
day, mostly to England. One com
pany has contract to deliver 2O0,0O0
tons. The State collects a duty of
one dollar per ton on the manutac-
tured article.

Aronnd that last raf,oe

study. Around that last refuge Of
barbarism floats an atmosphere Of
taste and refinement in which the
pretty wife lives and moves and has
her being. And from this tone OF
tue home grows the tone of society,
the social laws of good humor, OF
propriety, OF self-restraint, Of consld,
GRAFTON for others, of gentleness, OF
vivacity. The very hush Of the
rough tones that thurdered over Pc
loponnesus as Pericles bends over
Aspasia, the little turnings and deleca-
cies of phrase, the joyous serfdoms
and idleness of the manifest and most
energetic of men, tells of the triumph
of pretty women.

Influence of Pr,ity omen.

Life becomes more harmonious, it
heats with a keener pulse Of ENJOY
ment, III the presence OF pretty wo-
men. Alter all, charming little
figure, . piquant lite face, Is the
best remedy for half the worries pl
existance, its veXatiors Its dullnes>,
It's Chsappointments. And even in
the larger and more PLACID types OF
beauty of a Lady Dumbe'le, if there
IS a tinge of stupidity, there is at any
rate, an atmosphere Of repose, d
genial influence, moulding our social
converse and habits into gentler
shapes
1t is amusing to see how the pret-
tiness of a woman tells on her dress,
how the ordel. and proprle y Of her
dress tells on The home. TIE pursuit
of beauty, the habit of rrettiness,
give an ideal dignity to the arrange
mentos her bonnet strings. In every
movement, in the very sweep of her
ample folds in the pose Of her Ian
guor, in the gay start of her excite
ment, one feels the softening, har-
monizing influence of her last look In
the glass. She may be gay or sur-
rowful, quiet or energetic, but she
must be pretty. Beauty exercises an
imperceptible compulsion over her,
which moplds her own life into grace
full and harmonious form. Her dress
rises ont of the mere clothing of man
into the rigions of science, of poetry,
of art. A thousand considerations of
taste. harmonies Of color, contrasts,
correspordencies, delicate djustments
of light and shade, dictate the choice
of a shawl or the tint of a glove.
And as prettiness tells on dress, it
tells on the home. Flowers, pictures,
the gay notes of a sonata, the choi-
cest, gorgeous nues of Indian tapes
try, glass-work of Murano, a hundred
exquisite something's and nothlngs,
are the natural setting of pretty wo-
men. The art Of the boudoir tells
on all but the chaos Of the husbands

Plastering the Wrong Man.

A Newport correspondent of the
New York Commercial Advertiser re-
lates the following as one of the mis-
takes incident to hotel life-when
parties are in q hurry and the gas
turned off:
heard such an excellent story,
AMI knowing it to be u fact I must
relate it. A gentleman and wife on
a travelling tour stopped at a hotel.
Tie gentleman was IN invalid, jaunt-
ing for health, and was subject to
setere astae;,s Of spasms in his chest,
when uotiung would relieve but
5.is;ar, or N the absence of that a
good ho, mustard plaster. They
reached The strange hotel late in the
di,y, and IN The night Mr.. was
taken very i'll. His wife was unable
to fnd any remedies at hand among
her traps, but remembering to have
seen the castor containing mustard
on the sideboard OF the dining hall,
and being reluctant to arouse the
servants, she few down with a light,
and made plaster as quick as pos
sible. Now the room she occupied
Was at the head of the stairs, on the
right hand coming mp, but there was
one precisely similar to it on the left
eide. Just as she reached the head
of the staircas her light went out,
out wishing to bring relief to the
sufferer as quickly as possible, she
went into her room on the right, as
she supposed, and flying up to the
occupant IF the bed-her husband,
Of conrse-.raised the clothing and
Capped c the plaster on his chest. Just
as it touched the individual in ques-
tion, what was her fright and horror
at being assailed with strong ex-
pletive, and at discovering she had
l,rned to the left instead of the right,
nd entered the wrong apartment.
The hurry with which she entered
sas not quite equal to that with which
she retreated, and finding her own
man and telling him the story, he
laughed so outrageously as to get
cured without any plaster at all. So
mortified was the lady, however, that,
she insisted on leaving the hotel the
next morning, at an hour sufficiently
early to avoid meeting the victim of
her mistake. ,

A GooD JoLE.-A lich joke is told
of Tim Murphy, of Atlanta, now
dead, which IS too good to be lost.
Tim was travelling on the West
Point Road, on a.train controlled by
Conductor Moore and Engineer Buice.
One night, about two. o'clock, the
train ran into a large embankment Of
dirt, usually called a slide, by rail-
road men and miners, which COM
pletely upset everything, to the inju-
ry OF many passengers, including all
ages, colors and sizes, The conduct
or and engineer, neither being injur-
ed, was going the rounds to see the
extent Of the disaster. They found
the passengers piled out in utter con-
fusion, one badly suspended from a
window by her crinoline, following
in mournful voice for help, who was
rescued.
Next they came to Tim Murphy,
who was going on alta mournful.rate.
Well" says Conductor Moore,
:" how are you. getting along"
"Oh!" says Tim: Scalded, scald-
ed-badly scalded !" Upon exami-
nation, they found that the cooler,
containing ice water had upset its
contents upon Tim and so$great was
his fright, that he imagined ghe was
badlyascalded. Y
