THE SURRENDER OF LEE.

In the meantime General Lee came over
to McLean's house in the village of Apo
mattoX Court House. l am not certain
whether Gen. Babcock, of Gen. Grants staff,
who had arrived in advance of the General,
had gone over to see him or not. We had
waited some hours, and, I think, about ~
or o'clock General Grant arrived. Gener-
al Ord, myself and many officers were in
the main road leading through the town
at point where Lees army was visible.
General Grant rode up and greeted me with,
"Sheridan, how are yOu:" l replied, ~
am very well, thank YOU" He then said,
"Where is Lee ?" l replied, "There is his
army down in that valley; he is over in
that house (pointing out McLean's) waiting
to surrender to you" General Grant, still
without dismounting, said, "Come, let us
90 over" He then made the same request
to General Ord and we all went to Nc
Leans house. Those who entered with
General Grant were, as nearly as l can
recollect, Ord, Rawlins, Seth Williams,
Ingalls,, Babcock, Parker and myself; the
staff officers, or those who accompanied,
remaining outside on the porch steps and in
the yard. On entering the parlOr we found
General Lee standing in company with
first greeting was to General Seth Williams,
who had been Lees Adjutant when he was
Superintendent of the Military Academy.
General Lee was then presented to General
Grant, and all present were introduced.
General Lee was dressed in a new gray uni
form, evidently put on for the occasion,
and wore a handsome sword. He had on
his face the expression Of relief from a
heavy burden. General Grants uniform
was soiled with mud and service, and he
wore no sword. After few words had been
spoken by those who knew General Lee, all
the officers retired except, perhaps, one staff
officer of General Grants and the one who
was with General Lee. We had not been
absent from the room longer than five min
utes when General Babcock came to the
door and said, "The surrender has taken
place-yOu can come in again." When we
re-entercd General Grant was writing on
a little wooden, elliptical-shaped table
(purchased by me from Mr.. Mclean and
presented to Mrs. G.. \. CUSTER the Condl-
tons of the surrender. General Lee was
sitting, his hand resting on the hilt of his
sword, to the left of General Grant, with
his back to a small marble-topped table, on
which many books were piled About
one hour was occupied in drawing up and
signing the terms, when General Lee re-
tired from the house with a cordial shake
of the hand with. General Grant, mounted
his chunky, gray horse, and lifting his hat,
passed through the gate, and rode over the
crest of the hill to his army. On his arrival
there, we heard wild cheering, which SEEM

troops, either for him, or because Of salts

THE FRIEND.

There are few things so essential to hap
piness, so convenient and desirable, as a
friend, to whom we may coniide our asplra-
tions, with whom we may take sweet coun-
sci, who will not ridicule our little vanities
behind our back, who will tlatter US enough
for encouragement, but not enough for inju-
ry-a friend who believes in us and under
stands us. Perhaps this species is rare.
Somebody has finely remarked, "All that
can be said of friendship is like botany to
flowers" We may point out the calyX, de-
scribe the corolla, count the stamens and
pistils but as all this is but the skeleton OF
the blossom, will give no idea of its eXquls-
ite shape and effect, its grace, the wondrous
tints and texture of 4 single petal, the rich
charm of its perfume, so no words are COM
prehensive enough to portray the friend,
who is kind of second self, whose interests
and happiness are one with ours, who nev-
er rubs us the wrong way, who, even II
obliged to find fault with us, does 1T with
such graciousness that it is sweeter than an
others praise who softens the harShness or
others by the warmth of his admiration.
Each of lis has friends, to be sure, or people
whom we dignity by that name, who eX-
change visits, gifts, letters, and compliments
with us ; who talk gossip with us, consult us
upon their spring clothes, contide to us,
with more or less truth, the amount OF their
"allowance," ;" the cost of their 'things" who
have the same acquaintances, meet us at the
same houses, and read the same books that
we do; whose affection, however, is only
skin deep, and not in any degree stronger or
better than that which they entertain for
others whom they criticise and laugh at
with us; friends who are not altogether graf
ified by our successes nor sorry at our fail
ures, who through familiarity know the
weak point in our armor, and take adVan-
tage of their knowledge at times; friends
who do not scruple to assure us, in the cause
of truth, that our Carlo Dolce is not an orig
inal, that our Persian rug was woven in
American looms, that our Satsuma ware is
an imitation, and never saw province OF
Japan; friends who take it for granted that
we yearn to know our valued kioto teapot
is only Yankee reproduction. "Friends," I"
SAYS some one, care like melons; you must
try hundred before finding good one"
But who is not willing to try ten hundred If
he may only find one eventually, and not
always be put off by counterfeit? And
perhaps the difficulty in finding one, is due
more than we suspect to the fact, as Alphon-
so Karr says, "that every one is anxious to
have friend, without taking any particular
pains to be one yourself. '"-H0pe''s B0z0r.

C0NOuEST OF MEXICO.

From 10000 to $4,000 souls dwell in Mon
terey (says correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Press, and they are pleasantly loca-
ted. The city is built in a basin formed by
the great mountains thatSurroundit. Splen-
did springs flow through it in several direc-
tions, pouring out streams of pure and
healthy water, large enough to run mill
or irrigate all the country around 1t. The
streets are we'll paved.
\ glance at almost any section of the city
recalls many interesting "reminiscences of
the Mexican war; Saddle Mountain, that is
fashioned exactly like the Old-style McClel-
Ian saddles, rises more than 5000 feet above
the town. Almost any one you meet Will
remind you that Gen. Zach. Taylor planted
the American flag between the two peaks
during the war between this country and
the United States. 1t took two weeks to
get it up to the giddy height, and the MeNi-
cans could never get it down. 1t stood
there fourteen years to recall to them what
they had lost in the hazards of war: The
elements alone wore itaWay. The BlshOP,s $
palace still stands on the great hill which
the American forces assaulted and captured
before the town fell. The spiked guns left
by the MeXicanS are still there as monu-
ments of their defeat. Three miles away
to the east are the wonderful hot springs

GOOD sized stream of water 1862 Fahrenheit.
In extent and in most curative properties
the Hot Springs Of Arkansas bear no COM
parison to them. :,
Saltillo is siXty-odd miles nearer the city,
of Mexico than Monterey, and the railroad
will reach it some time in July. You have
to take clumsy stage coach to get to this
place, and you climb the mountains almost
all the way. 1t is situated on the summit
of the Sierras, some 5000 feet above the
level of the sea. 1t is destined to be ia
voritc place for pleasure-seekers, and they,
have even now named it the Saratoga of
Mexico. All Mexican towns look alike eX-
cept in their location, and, therefore, what
1 have said of Monterey will very readily
apply to this place, except that it is not not
quite as large. 1t is the capital OF Coahulla,
one of the best agricultural and mineral
States of the Mexican Republic. The rail-
road officials look upon it as one of the i'm
portant places along the line of the MeXl-

feeling sure he was gone for good, tum-
bled down the tree, and ran off along the
road as hard as T could with Cognac bark
ing at my heels. By-and-by | had to pull
up, for the sun was very hot !; but [ walked
as fast as I could, looking out all the time
for N1arengo, who would not, l knew, go
very far from his master. Presently Ispied
him in hollow. A whistle, a whinnying
with delight, he trotted up and laid his head
on my shoulder. -.
"In my hurry, l had forgotten the bride,
temporizeda halter, tied one end around
his nose, and catching up Cognac, mounted,
and galloped off, defying all the lions in
Africa to catch me.
"There were still two hours before sunset
to reach the next village, and by hard rid
ing did it. That we all three of us enjoy
ed our suppers, goes without saying; and
that, gentlemen, is my story"
We agreed it was wonderful.

A QUESTION.

A QUESTION.
If death be an eternal sleep,
Why doth the Spring return
To scatter flowers beneath our feet
And the wastes of Winter spurn?
If death be an eternal sleep,
Why doth the buried grain
Send forth new harvests for men to reap
And whiten the spreading plain?
If death be an eternal sleep,
Why the oceans ceaseless flow,
When the planets all their journeys keep
And never weary'grow?
If death be an eternal sleep,
Why do we hope for heaven
When we approach the mercy seat
And ask to be forgiven?
If death be an eternal sleep,
When will justice come
To those who toll for others meat
And receive but scanty crumbs?
If death be an eternal sleep,
Why did the angels go
The poor man to bear.to Abraham seat
While the rich man was in woe?
If death be an eternal sleep,
WHY was man e'er born,
And why should he his vigils keep
If there is no coming morn?

ANECDOTES OF TWINS.

Two twins were fond of playing tricks,
and complaints were frequently made; Dut
the boys would never own which was the
guilty one, and the complainants were new
er certain which of the two he was. One
head master used to say that he would new
er fog the innocent for the guilty, and an
other used to fog both.
No less than nine anecdotes have reached
ME of twin seeing his or her reflection in
a looking glass and addressing it in the be-
lief it was the other twin in person.
| have many anecdotes of mistakes when
the twins were grown up. Thus:
An namusing scene occurred at college when
one twin came to visit the other, the por-
ter on one occasion refusing to let the visitor
out of the college gates, for though they
stood side by side he prOfessed ignorance as
to which he ought to allow to depart.
Children are usually quick in distinguish
ING between their parents and his or her
twin but have two cases to the contrary.
Thus the daughter Of twin says: "Such
was the marvellous similarity of their voice,
features and manner, ETC., that remember
as a child being very much puzzled, and, |
think. had nv aunt lived much with us, !
should have ended by thinking that | had
two mothers"
In the other case, a father who was 4
twin. remarks of himself and his brother:
"We were extremely alike, and are SO at
this moment, so much so that our children
up to five or six years old did not know us
apart" J.,
I have four or five instances of doubt du-
ring an engagement of marriage. mus:
S. married first, but both twins met the
lady together for the first time, and fell IN
love with her then and there. A. managed
to see her home and gain her affections,
though B. went sometimes cOurtlng IN ms
place and neither the young lady nor her
parents could tell which was which.
T have also a German letter, written
in QUART terms, about twin brothers who
married sisters, but could not easily be dls-
tinguished by them. r.
IN the well known novel of Wilkie Collins
of "Poor Miss Finch," the blind girl dis
tineuishes the twin she loves by the touch
of his hand, which gives her thrill that
the touch of the other brother does not:
Philosophers have not, DelieVe, as yet
investigated the conditions OF such thrills;
but | have case in Whlch MISS flLciiS
fest would have failed. Two persons, both
friends of a certain twin lady, told me that
she had frequently remarked TO them tnat
kissing her twin sister was not like kissing
her other sisters, but like kissing herself
her own hand for example.
1t would be an interesting experiment Tor
twins who were closely alike to try how TAR
dogs could distinguish between them by
scent. | have a few anecdotes OF strange
mistakes between infants in adult life.
Thus an officer writes:
con one occasion when l returned from
foreion service. nv father turned to me and
said: 4 thought you were in London
thinking was my brother-yet he had not
seen me for nearly four years-our resem- e,l
blance was so great. ."-Ffom Professor cat
