A War Relic,

Senator Vest has received Gen. Lees
original order disbanding the army of Sir-
ginia, and delivered the same to 4. W.
Slayback for presentation TO the Historical
society at the next meeting. The relic
was inclosed with the following letter:
WASHINGTON. ID. c., Oct. 81, ISL
Col. \ W. Slayback Dear Sir: Will
you be kind enough to present to the His
torical society of Missouri the accOmp any
ing paper? 1t is the original order of Gen.
Il. +. Lee disbanding the army Of Virginia
1t WAS placed in my hands by one Who like
YOU and myself was loyal the cause for
which that army fought and who accepted
in good faith the results Of Its defeat. |
received tho trust, but, upon reflection, |
think that paper 40 valuable to the histo-
rian and antiquarian, the last record of an
army unequalcd in history for It's achieve
nentS, should be deposited with society
permanent in duration and devoted to pre-
serving the correct history Of eachsuccess-
i've age. Truly, etc, q. Il. VEST
The.order reads as follows:
HEtpQUAHTERs ARMY OF NORTHERN NIR-
GINA, April 10. lS65.-General Orders
No. .. After four wears OF arduous services,
marked by unsurpassed courage and torti-
tudc, the army of northern Virginia has
been compelled to yield to overwhelming
numbers and resources. .
Ineed not tell the brave survivors OF
so many hard fought battles, who have re-
NAMED stesdtast to the last, that have
consented TO this result from no distrust to
them; but feeling that vslor and devotion
could accomplish nothing that would com
peusate for the loss that must have attend
ed the continuance Of the contest, | deter
mined to avoid the useless sacrifice Of
those whose past services have endeared
then to their countrymen.
Bv the terms of tho agreement officers
and men can return to their homes and re-
main until exchanged. You will take with
YOU tho satisfaction that proceeds from the
consciousness Of duty faithfully performed,
and earnestly pray that mercitul God
will extend to you His blessing and protec-
ton.
With an increasing admiration Of your
constsucy and devotion to your country,
aue a grateful remembrance OF your KIND
and generous consideration for Tor myself,
| bid YOU all an affectionate farewell.
Il. +. LEE, General.

\ HANDSOME DIAMOND
RING.
The Generous Governor and the
Naughty Actress.

springfield Mass Rep.
The handsOmest diamond ring said to
be worn by any one on the stage sparkles
on the little white hand OF a rather
insignificant but pretty performer known
as ''Stella," OF the Soldene troupe. When
that highIy.rehned and aesthetic comp
any played in Denver, some one intro
iuCed thi, particular star to Gov. Tabor,
who Is i generous patron OF HuslC. Dur
ing brlet conversation with her the
masuate was summoned on business by
4 messenger. As he withdrew he, it is
presumed unConsClouSly, remarked that
ne would finish his call some other time
"Oh, no, YOU won't" said the jaunty
performer: you will get 50 absorbed
IN these great big mines and political
things that You'll forget all about poor
u;tle me. The direct slur on guberna.
toyIaI gal,autry WAS equal 10 4 ChalleL ge.
At any rate, the Governor pledged him
sel,tO return. "Ah, | don't believe any
of You wicked Western men without
some other guarantee than YOUR word,
said the clever Miss Stella, adding:
Leave me something valuable enough
to insure yOUr return" Now, the
Governor ri Colorado has many bags
OF gold. but ne does not carry them in
his pocket. and the Only ornament OF
cost he wore Was 4 magnificent diamond
riug, the one huge solitaire, valued at
$1,000, shining ont like an electric light.
The Impulsire millionaire threw his
Jewel into her lap and made his exist.
Then the smart Stella, without loss OF
time, packed her little portmantean and
shipped on a train bound for Chicago.
When the Governor called II redeem
his pledge the news OF her departure
was broken to him by a cOlored waiter.

THE KITTEN AND FALLEN
LEAVES.

That way look, my infant, To-
What u pretty baby-show
See the kitten oh the wall.
Sporting with the leaves that :all-
Withered leavas, one, two, aud thee
From the lofty elder tree
Through the calm ahd frosty air
OF this morning bright and fair,
Eddying round and round; they sink
Softly, slowly; one might think,
From the motions that are made,
Every little leaf conveyed
Sylph or fairy hither tending,
To mis- lower world descending,
Each invisible aud mute
In his waverins parachute.
But the kitten, how she starts,
CrOuchrs. stretches DAVIS, and carts
First at one, and then its fellow
Just a. light and Just as yellow,
There are many nOw-uOw one
Now they stop. and there are none.
What intensenesS OF desire
In her upward eye OF fire,
What tiger leap, Hall way
Now she meets the coming prey,
cts il go fast, and then
Has il in her power again:
Now sha works three or four.
Like All Indian cOnjureT:
quick as he in feats Of art.
Far beyond in JOY Of heart,
We're her antics played in the eye
OF thousand ISLANDERS by,
Clappiug hands with shout and stare.
What would little Tabby care
For the plaUdits OF the crowd
Oyerhappy 10 be proud,
Overwealthy in the treasure

arrangements for their comfort on the
voyage out, and at last had the satistaC'
ton of steaming off with them all. The
day when they started was fine one,
and as soon as the shores OF France bad
faded out OF sight the company, to keep
up their spirits, began to sing on deck.
But very soon they stopped and live
gentlemen were seen to stare at one
another with CONSERVATION. They were

The Maine Farmer.

This paper has just entered upon its
fiftieth volume. Though then but five years
old we well remember the first issue of this,
one Of the pioneer agricultural journals of
the world. Periodicals were not plenty in
those days, and, TO little boy fond of read
ing, even the annual advent of the old
Farmers Almanac was godsend. The ad-
dition of weekly paper in the old farm,
house Zone that the genius of its editor,
DR.. Ezekiel Holmes, an old teacher, made
interesting even to the little ones) was
greeted with well remembered joy. We
might say that we were brought up, as re-
CARDS voluntary reading matter at that time,
on DR.. Holmes Farmer and S. G. Goodrichs s
Peter Parley's Magazine. The Farmer was
little paper in those days (eight pages
seven and three-fourths by nine inches in
size), but it soon grew, and now gives its
readers six times as much good reading
matter as at first, with no increase in price
1t is the best sustained of all the agricul.
tural papers in this country printed outside
of the cities. 1t was once our ambition to
make just such paper for Vermont, but
untoward circumstances (of which lack
Of support was not one) blighted the enter
prise, which, as now renewed in other hands
may, we hope, reach as firm basis as that
occupied by our prototype. Every state
should have its own agricultural newspaper
