GRANT DECLINING LEES SWORD A MYTH.

UhANl ULCLANlNU AEn' . . W VAsO "A 1h AA'
Editors Richmond Dispatch:
I am sorry that you allowed to pass un.
challenged the item in your paper from the
Bangor (Me) Whig, about Grants magma
nmity in declining to receive Lees sword, &c.
Several years ago you published letter
from your correspondent, "Viator," giving
General Lees own account Of the surrender,
in which he denied most emphatically that be
ever rendered his sword to General Grant, or
had any idea of doing so.
In personal "reminiscences of Lee" there
is also full statement of General Lees own
account of the surrender, the following ex-
tract from which settles the question "Gen-
eral Lee said that when he met General
Grant they exchanged polite salutations, and
he stated to him at once that he desired a
conference in reference to the subject-matter
of their correspondence. General Grant re-
turned you your sword, did he not, General ?
one of the company asked The old hero,
Strengthening himself up, replied in most EN-.
phatic tones: No, sir he did not. He had
no opportunity of doing so. l was determin-
ed that the side.arms of officers should be ex.
empt by the terms of the surrender, and of
course I did not offer him mine. All that was
said about swords was that General Grant
apologized to me for not wearing bis own
sword, saying that it had gone off in his bag
gage, and he had been unable to get it in
time This spols great deal of rhetoric
about Grants magnanimity in returning
Lees sword, and renders as absurd as it is
false, the attempt of Northern artists to put
the scene on canvas or into statuary. Even
General Grants connivance at this so-called
historic scene will not save it when the
world knows that R. E. Lee said that moth
ing of the sort occurred" "Reminiscences
of Lee, PIP. 303-3O4.] =,
The sword scene, the "bistoric apple tree, ="
&C., are mere inventions of army correspon.
dents, which so please the fancy of the "sa-
viors of the Union that they are being con-
stantly repeated.
Grants terms to Lee were magnanimous ;
but he knew full we'll that they we're the only
terms which Lee would have accepted. ]. W. ].

double object-an escape from all further ques'
tioning and reproof in regard to her naughty
behaviour, and leisure for indulgiug her own
reflections, which were of complicated and
confusing nature. 1t was, indeed, true, how.
ever that her ankle was paining her more
than it had done, and felt easier in bed than
anywhere else, and in bed she resolved to re-
main, "as long as it hurt her," she said to
Rose or, she secretly added in her own mind,
as long as certain person remained within
visiting distance of the ranch.
II could not face him again, after my con-
duct this morning." she soliloquized. "He
thinks me perfectly hateful, know, and so 1
was, then. Evelyn Lyndhurst, you are an
idiot, nothing more nor less, and you deserve
that he should detest you-yes, with all his
heart. T hope he does, and ever will! But
what nonsense I am talking. BE will 60
away in day or two, and never think fyou
again. don't suppose your image will ever
cross his memory, so you need not distress
yourself about any impression you have made,
since most likely it has already vanished into
air."
Julian returned the next afternoon to in.
quire after Evelyn. He came, ostensibly, to
bid Major Lyndhurst goodbye; but he quick
" altered his intention when he learned that
Evelyn was feeling worse, and was not able
to move about. He could not make up bis
mind to leave the neighborhood while she re-
NAMED in this condition. He forgot the dis.
dain with which she had treated him ; thought
only of her sufferings, her beauty, and was
supremely miserable. He knew, all the time,
that he was fool-so he said to himself-for
making himself wretched about a girl who
was not only entirely Indifferent to him, but
even appeared positively to dislike him, and
who would probably not give him any oppor-
tunity of seeing her again. Still, folly though
it might be, he could not conquer it,
A week passed, and Evelyn was reported
better. At last, one evening, just about sum
set, Julian came to the ranch to make his US.
ual inquiries. He had made up his mind
that this should be really his farewell visit,
since it was probable that the object of his
"mad infatuation," (to use his own words)
being now convalescent, would soon be about
again, and it was best that he should avoid
meeting her but as be lifted the latch of the
gate, he raised bis eyes to the verandah, and
his heart gave great bound when he saw her
sitting there alone.

lain, of South Carolina. He did not consider
that the establishment of the Hampton Gov
ernment would increase the material prosper
ity of the State. Bankers and factors might
do better, but as to the people, as whole, he
did not think they would be benefited but
very little.
Mr. Buttz considers that the ultimate fate
of Louisiana will be the same as that of South
Carolina, but that as Packard received more
votes than the Hayes Electors, he thought the
President would have to take little more
time to get rid of him than with Chamberlain,
of South Carolina, where Hampton received
more votes than the Hayes Electors He was
nevertheless satisfied that the final result
would be the same.
UNITED STATES MARSHAL R. M. WALLACE.
Col. Wallace stated very frankly, when re-
quested to give his views, that if the report
was true that the troops we're to be removed
from the State. House in Columbia, he consid-
cred that it would very soon lead to settle
ment in favor of Governor Hampton, without
disturbance or outbreak of any kind. AS
soon as it is understood, he said, that the
President recognizes Hampton, the Republi-
can party will submit to the decision quietly
and peaceably. He thinks, moreover, that
Chamberlain will return to South Carolina
and submit to any legal process that may be
served upon him, and admits that any resis-
tance or attempt on the part of Chamberlain
to uphold his government, would prove futile
unless he had the United States troops to sup
port him. ),
He thinks that President Hayes has acted
in good faith in the whole matter, and he does
not place any reliance on the report that there
was any barter or sale in the settlement. He
thinks also that Chamberlain has acted in

Governors" would not be in Columbia for at
least several days, determined to return to
Beaufort, and did so by the next train after
his arrival.
COLLECTOR wORTHINGTON.
Collector H. G. Worthington, when ap-
preached by Reporter of the Ne,0s and
Courier, remarked that in his judgment "our
people are jumping to conclusions too rapid
ly." If Tim Hurley is any authority, the
Collector is not in that condition of mind de-
nominated "happy," and has visions frequent.
ly which make mundane existence anything
but comfortable to a soul full of remorse.
However this may be, Worthington is evil
dently shy of being interviewed just now.
He is probably corking down his manly in
dignation against President Hayes, in the hope
that his oficial neck may escape the guillotine.
SUMMARY.
From these views, together with expressions
from a number of lesser lights in the Repub-
lcan party, the prevailing sentiment among
them may be summed up in very few words,
viz. : Thorough conviction as to the certainty
of the Hampton government; very general
resignation to the inevitable, with an effort to
make the best of the situation, and an intense
indignation on the part of the more ultra
against the administration for acting in op-
position to their wishes and individual inter-
ests, coupled with willingness to make the
best terms possible with the Democratic party.

\ firm of wine merchants in London
has been trying novel experiment dur
ing the past year, with view of helping
the men in the employ of the company
to keep sober. The theory on which the
experiment is based is that drunkenness
comes mainly from the habit of resorting
to public houses, and that this habit ia
contracted almost as a matter of necessi-.
ty by workingmen having nowhere :,
to go during the dinner hour. So TIC
firm provided dining and reading room
and boiler for cooking potatoes; and
there the men and boys now take their
dinners. As one result of the corporate
feeling promoted by intercourse with
one another during the noon hour, they
have formed among themselves a library
fund, out of which newspapers and mag
azines are provided for the reading room
and deposit and loan bank, to which
all the working men are now subscribers.
Under this arrangement, as stated by the
merchants in letter to the Times, there
has not been "a single instance of indis-
erection or excess or anything approach
ing 1t in the matter of drink during the
whole of the last year. Not boy or
man has been absent without cave, and
every one has been in his lace on the
morning following ournaticI.q holidays"
The last mentioned fact says the Pail
Mali Gazette, is especis ly worthy the
attention of employers, and it adds that
when men cease to find their pleasure
IN the public house during their dinner
hour there Is at least chance that they
viii not go to the public house to look

HoW sIRDISEs ARE PREPARED.

The American sardine company start
ed the business of preparing sardines for
sale about seven years ago, at Port Mon
mouth, New Jersey. Some idea of the
extent Of these works may be gained
from the fact that in 1872 the company
manufactured and sold 10000 cans,
quantity which was nearly equal to the
total importation of foreign sardines in
1870, the year when the company was
started. In 1874 the production was
equally large, but during the last two
seasons the catch has been small owing
TO the scarcity of the fish which the COM
pany selected as a substitute for the sar-
dine-the menhaden or ocean trout, GEM
monty called the "moss bunker" It's
color is silvery, spotted with dark brown
These fishes abound in the BAYS and
deep rivers which indent the coasts of
New Brunswick, Newfoundland and
Nova Scotia, and in the spring and fall
sppear also in great numbers along the
New England coast and in the Raritan
bay. Here during the season they are
caught by the employees of the Sardine
company, who begin operation about
May and continue the work until
November l. The flesh of the menhaden
Is sweet and nutritious and is by many
preferred to that of the imported sar-
dine, the only defect being the unusual
number of bones. These, however, are
now removed by mechanical process, for
which the company secured patent in
1872.
The menhaden is a timid fish and
swims upon the surface When at early
dawn school is described by the nipples
on the surface. the small boats are
lowered from the sloops which have been
lying of the ground since midnight, and
a long net over seven hundred feet in
length and descending twelve or thirteen
feet into the water is carried cut on both
sides until the school is surrounded.
The fishes are then ladled out by the fish
ermen with Scoops" placed on board
the sloops, and brought to the factory
docks at Port Monmouth. In the fac
tory they are first brought TO the
"scaler," long shaft with twelve re-
volying wheels filed with long blunt
teeth, which remove the scales. The
heads are then cut off, and entraiIs re-
moved, and the fishes are placed in wash
ing troughs, above which are circular
revolving brushes, by contact with which
the fishes are thoroughly cleansed and
the bones removed. They are then put
in picking watts for several hours. until
well salted; fromEthese they are trans
ferred- to the cooking cans, which are
placed in the steaming tanks, seven in
number, each capable of holding LOCO
boxes. From the steaming tanks they
pass to a long table, and are finally
packed in permanent cans After oil
and spices have been placed in the cans,
They are sealed. The time occupied in
the whole process is about three days.
Prior to-1S74 the sales were confined
TO this country, but during the last two
years large quantities have been ex-
ported to Russia, Germany, Australia,
England and South America last year
applications for agencies in France were (
received, but as, owing to the small (

SIZED Br4 BOTTLE.

About five weeks ago there was washed
ashore on the coast of one of the Orkney
islands a bottle containing an appeal
from some starving castaways who had
been wrecked on st. Kilda, the most in
accessible of the Hebridean Islets. Mr.
Sands, a Scottish artist, had landed on
that lonely rock in small boat, and on
January II an Austrian vessel was
wrecked off the cliffs and nine survivors
were washed ashore. The islanders had
scarcely enough provisions for them
selves, but they generously shared What
they had with the ten eastaways. Star
vation stared them all in the face Mr.
Sands wrote the message containing this
information, and lashing the bottle to
the lile-buoy, and rigging small sail
cast it adrift. The little craft drifted to
the Orkneys, and was picked up by the
islanders. The gunboat JacBall was
dispatched to the island with a store of
provisions, and arrived net a day too
soon, for the islanders and their guests
were starving. The artist and sailors
were landed at Greenock about March ! 3,
after dangerous voyage. The London
Telegraph states that st. Kinda belongs
20 the Lacleod, whose family has owned
1t for two centuries. Over the estate he
reigns with a despOtism as unquestioned
as that of the czar. The whole trade of
the poor people is his factors monopoly
