General Chamberlain Lecture the
'.surrcnder Of Lee"

large audience listened attentively TO
Gen Chamberlains lecture on Friday last.
Though his subject, the ''Surrender of Lee"
might he old and perhaps familiar, as the
lecturer said, he certainly presented it in an
interesting manner. He described scenes in
that last close pursuit after Lees retreatiug
army in wav that brought them wildly be-
fore the minds eye. In graphic language he
sketched the scenes along those roads blocked
with the debris of broken wagons. household
effects promiscuously heaped together or
scattered about. the hurried crossing of rivers.
the occasional encounters of advance and
rear guards. and the final scene, when. climb
ing the bluffs about the valley where the
village of Appomattox Court House is built.

the remnant of the great army they had so
long been following. there beneath them. Ii

gave scenes from that DAYS doings. stirring.
hut with much of sadness about them withal.
One could seem to see the rebel troops as
they filed slowly past ours drawn up IN line,
and laid down their flags and stacked their
arms. The courtesy on the part OF our
soldiers in their position with arms at
garry, and their refrain'hg from ANY
humiliatng words or actions during the
ceremony of surrender were fully appreciated
bv most of the rebel officers. The personal
"reminiscences as told by the General. were
very interestiug-the blutfword and behavior
of the impetuous Sheridan, the easy, careless
WAYS of Grant with THAT everlasting hand IN
his pocket" the bitterness displayed by the
rebel general. Wise. rs he cried to Gen. e..
You want to forgive us. do you: Well, we
,rou'f be forgireH, You have ruined Virginia,
and we hate you for it. - The measures OF
reconstruction adopted, the lecturer thought,
had been to blame for keeping alive this spirit
of hatred. but he hoped and thought that the
time was now at hand when that would be
laid aside, and the nation be again united

JUDGE SHELDON PUZZLED OVER AMY FRENCH
Is SHE CRANK
That peculiar woman who calls herself
Amy French appeared before Judge Sheldon
in the City Court yesterday, when the case
against her of defrauding Hackman Doyle
came up by continuance. son of Restau-
rant Keeper Phelps and young man named
Marsh testified to the accused living with
MES Phelps, at 4s Orange street, for over q
year under the name of Roberts. The woman
left a short time ago and on her return told
of selling property belonging to her, from
which she received $45, 900, and the family
silver for 100000. His honor once more
questioned the woman about her antecedents
and her supposed wealth. In most unas-
Stunning manner she told him that she had
sold both her property and silver; for the
former she received $25, 900, not $45, ZOO, as
the witness had testified to, but that 100000
was what she had realized from the sale of
the silver. This money she had deposited in
the Seamens bank and the Freedmen's bank
of New York She said she had friends
named Blanchard and Winthrop, who lived
in New York. The woman proved an enigma
for Judge Sheldon, who continued her case
again until Saturday, remarking that he was
not fully satisfied whether she was or was
not crazy. Amyis certainly either CRANK
of the harmless kind, or remarkably I'M
truthful.

France and England to modify its constitu-
ton in conformity with existing international
financial agreements, the great powers are re-
solved to take joint energetic measures to
protect the interests of Egyptian bondhold-
ers. 1t is understood that these meas
ures will be of no weak character, but they
will practically amount to domination of the
country by foreign representatives If this
be indeed undertaken force must be used,
and it will probably be the beginning of very
serious results.

A CoIorsd Woman's Deadly Jealousy.
LONG BRANCH, April G.-What will prob

night. James Shreve, a colored man, for
six years past has had for his housekeeper
Mrs Jane Garrison, the mother of Rev. A.
c. Garrison, pastor of the African Metho-
dist church About 10 o'clock last night
Mrs Garrison returned home and found
Shreve In company with another oolored
woman Mrs. Garrison, without word of
warming, drew a revolver and fred three
times at Shreve. Two of the bullets lodged
in Shreve's stomach, the third passing
through his body near the pit of the arm.
He is still living but little hopes are had of
his recovery. Mrs. Garrison surrendered
herself to the police this morning. The
crime is attributed to jealousy.
