The Truth About That Important
Ceremony.
From Old and New.l
1t has been popularity reported that
the first interview between the two COM
manders took place under an apple-tree,
which has consequently been crowned
with historic associations. This is false.
The fact is, that on the morning OF the
9th of April, General Lee, with single
member of his staff, was resting under
an apple-tree, when Colonel Babeock, OF
General Grants staff, rode up under a
flag of truce, saying that if General Lee
remained where he was, General Grant
would come to him by the road the lat
ter was then pursuing. This was the
only interview under or near the apple
tree; and it may be mentioned here that
the following day Colonel Marshall, who
attended General Lee on the occasion,
was surprised to find Federal soldiers
hacking at the tree, and was amused at
their idea of obtaining from it mementoss
of the surrender Obtaining news oil
Grants approach, General Lee at once
ordered Colonel Marshall to hnd nj
and convenient house for the interview
Colonel Marshall applied to the hrst
citizen he met, Mr.. Wilmer Mclean, and
vas directed 10 a house empty and DIS
mantled. He refused to use it, and Mr..
Mclean then offered to conduct him and
the General to his own residence, a COM
Portable frame house, with long porneo
and convenient "sitting-room, furnished
after the bare style of the times.
The house was about half mile from
General Lees camp. The Confederate
commander was attended only by one oil
his aids, Colonel Marshall, youthful,
bovishlooking scion of the old and illus
triors Marshall family of Virginia. who
had been the constant companion OF
General Lee in all his campaigns, and,
as his private secretary, had done good
literary service in the preparations OF
reports of battles, etc., which are now
historical With Grant, there were sew
eral of his staff officers; and number
of Federal Generals, including Ord and
Sheridan, entered the room, and joined
in the slight general conversation that
took place there.
The interview opened without the least
ceremony. The story has been fire.
quently repeated, that General Lee ten
dered his sword, and that General Grant
returned it with a complimentary re-
mark. There was no such absurdity.
General Lee wore his sword, which was
not his usual habit; and, on the ex-
change of salutations, General Grant
remarked, II must apologize, General,
for not wearing my sword; it had gone
off in my baggage when / received your
note" General Lee bowed, and at once,
and without further conversation, asked
that General Grant would state, in writ
ing if he preferred it, the terms on
which he would receive the surrender Of
the army of North Virginia. General
Grant complied by sitting at a table
in the room, and writing, with common
lead pencil, the note so well remembered.

WHEN WILL THE END COME!

When legislators keep the law,
When banks dispense with doors n
locks,
When berries, whortle, rasp and straw,
Grow bigger downward through the box;
When he that selleth house or land
Shows leak in roof and flaw in right;
When haberdaSher choose the stand
Whose window has the roadest light;
When preachers tell us all they think,
And party leaders all they mean:
When what We pay for, what We drink,
From real grape or coffee bean:
When lawyers take what they would give.
And doctors give what they would take;
When city fathers eat TO live,
Save when they fast for conscience sake;
When one that hath a horse on sale,
Shall bring his merit to the proof,
without a lie for every nail
That binds the iron to the hoof;
When in the usual place for rips
Our gloves are stitched with special
care;
And guarded well the whalebone tips
Where first umbrellas need repair;
When Cuba's weeds have quite forgot
The power of suction to resist;
And claret bottles harbOr not
such dimples as would hold your fist;
When publishers no longer steal,
And pay for what they stole before;
When the first locomotive wheel
Rolls through the HooSac bore:
Till then let Cumming blaze way.
And Miiler's saints blow up the globe;
But when YOU see that blessed day,
Then order your ascension robe.
