that this gives them all the strong +

GENEE-AI LEE 5 UNsELFIsH DEVOTION
Not many people know that General
Robert +. Lee was offered the chief com
mand OF he army in 1861. and declined
it. The offer was made upon til. recom-
mendation of General Scott. backed by
the venerable Francis p Blair, Sr, who
the tender of the position in
person. 1t must have taken great moral
courage to decline the highest posi-
ton to which he could ever have attained
in his most ambitious dreams In 1865
the railroad which is now called the Vir-
ginia Midland and its connections, was
mainly owned by English bondholders
After an expert had car ar.fully examined
the condition of things the committee of
bondholders held a meeting and rendered
to General Lee the Presidency Of the
road and its connections under one organ
ization, at salary of $50, 600 a year.
About this time one of the most power
full of the New York life insurance com
panies offered General Lee so, 900 year
and "a house in Richmond to take hold Of
and build up their Southern business.
General Lee declined both of these splen-
did offers to accept place as teacher Of
Southern young men at $4,000 a year.
Captain Burritt says that the Duke of
Beaufort, Lord John Manners and two
other English noblemen rendered General
Lee SPLENDID estate in West Riding, at
Yorkshire, with a handsome rental, equa
to So, 600 years, for life if he would &C
ce pit it and live upon it. Earl Spencer
now Lord Lieutenant of Ireland made
the tender. General Lee, with charm
ing dignity that these gentlemen say was
beyond anything they had imagined, de.

A few years ago, when We were farming
outside of Raleigh, just at this season,
i'm Peasants came by for us to go and
have some fun, killing squirrels in the
mulberry orchard over the hill. As we
were not thoroughly posted as to the
habits of this MIN mblest of small animals
and knowing there was always something
to be learned from Jim, whose life in the
woods was an unbrOken association with
coons, possums, foxes, wild turkeys.
etc, whether dead or alive, we shoulder
ed our gun and went with jim to the
orchard Such sight as greeted our
eyes as we neared the edge of the woods
is not seen every day. Hundreds of squir
rels were eating the fruit and sporting
among the branches. while under the
trees numbers OF partridges and wild
turkeys with their young were feeding.
We paused to admire the happy state of
things before carrying into execution our
murd2rouS intent, and it was with pain
we obeyed Jlm's order to begin work
with the bang, bang of our double bar
reis. Sport Tor the squirrels ceased and
oegaD for the hunter, which in a few
minutes cleared the orchard of all visi-
ble game. Then we determined to
cut down sugar maple in which we had
seen numbers take refuge, and af er telling
