Mrs. Robert E. Lee to General
Scott. E.s-

Macon Telegraph and Messenger
The following letter from Mrs. Lee is
now published for the first time. Mrs.
Lee was we'll informed as to her great
husbands views, : and would not have
sent General Scott such q letter had
there been such q scene as Gen. Town
send describes in his recently published
anecdotes:
ARLINGTON, Va. May 5, 1861. MY
DEAR GENERAL.-Hearing that you de-
sired to see an account of my husbands
reception in Richmond, Ishave sent it
to you. No honors can reconcile us to
this fratricidal war, which we would
have laid down our lives freely tc avert.
Nor can it ever terminate now till every
heart in the whole south ceases to beat
or they obtain the Justice they demand.
Whatever may happen, I feel that I
may expect from your kindness all the
protection you can in honor afford.
More would not ask nor expect. Eoth-
ing can ever make me forget your kind
appreciation Of Mr.. Lee. II you knew
all you would not speak so hardly Of
him. We're it not that I would not add
one feather. to his load of care, nothing
would induce me to abandon my home.
Oh! that you could command peace to
our distracted country! .ag ~
Z Yours in sadness and sorrow, ID
Hi M. @. LEE.

How She CurIed Her Hair.

From the Providence Journal
She was q very pretty girl, tastefullJ
dressed, and her brown hair curled and
rolled about her low white forehead in
a way that was enhancing, considering
how hot the weather was, and how many
fair locks that had been cusled that
morning were hanging in straight
strings over the fair owners eyes. It
was warm in church, too, and fsns were
rattling in every seat. There wers lots
of flies about, but people seated in her
Immediate vicinity we're pleased to notice
that they all assembled and lowered
around the pretty girl, and only the
young man who sat beside her was
troubled occasionally by the little pest
erers that she impatiently brushed from
her face when they became unbearably
annoying. At the conclusion Of the
service the pretty girl and her escort
walked out with the rest Of the congre-
CATION. and the young man was heard
to exclaim, "By Georgei did yon ever
see so many flies Nell?" And Nell re.
piled in smothered and remorseful
tones: ibid you notice them, Fred? ]
shall never try that again; I curled my
hair with sugar and water this morn
ing" And then the flies discoveries
their departing victim in the throng,
and with an exciting buzz made for her.
1t doesn't do for even pretty girl to be
too fly.

THINGS at Nassau. /

Nassau, the chief city Of the Bahamas
is, IN enc respect at least, in a pecu-
liar position. Being under the British
government, with governor appointed
BY the queen, with parliament and
English institutions throughout, and
with its money always legally reckoned
IN pounds, shillings AMI pence, its only
regular and frequent steam communi-
cation il with New York. All her bus.
mess, or nearly all, is done with New
York. When her people want to make
q journey they come to New York.
Even if they are going to Europe they
come to New York first. Thus the PEG.
pie, while always thoroughly loyal tc
the queen and her government, are be-
coming every year more and more
American in their ideas and habits
American currency has made its way to
Nassau and has mixed itself up with the
pounds and shillings, till you never
know when price is reckoned by
the shilling, whether an English sllil-
ling or York shilling is meant. A
greenback is just as good as bank OF
England note, and there is no discount
on, either. The condition OF things is
almost as anomalous here as in some of
the channel islands, which, while under
the authority Of the British government
do all their business with Paris and use
the French language. In the heart OF
the city, the appearance OF things is de-
cidedly foreign. Some of the buildings
there look like Quebec houses. others
like Spanish houses, and others have an
English air. Over it all the white stone
and the white streets and the tropical
plants throw an air decidedly West In
dian.--I1etter in New York Times.

Crude Petroleum Paint,

We believe no one that has given
crude petroleum, either alone or thick
ened with mineral paint, q fair trial on
farm implements, fences, buildings, ETC.,
would ever DO likely to give itup again.
Take an old wagon Or cultivator frame
that has been neglected as regards
paint, and showing signs Of giving out
and treat it to all the petroleum the wood
will absorb, going over tho wheels sev-
erel times, oil up the nuts and tighten
them, using wide washers underneath
anywhere where the wood is not sound,
and the affair may afterwards appear al
most as strong as q new one. Fences
and buildings kept properly painted
would last many years longer than if
not, besides adding to appearances great

A Drunken Woman,

There is pathetic interest about the
story OF Mrs. Wylie, a woman of wealth
and high social standing, who was COM
mitted to private lunatic asylum a
year Or two ago as an incorrigible drunk
ard, and whose friends now make the
story public as means of securing her
release. Unfortunately, such stories
are not rare. It seems mistaken kind
ness to open record which charity
would prefer to conceal forever. Twen-
ty years ago there lived in handsome
style in this city q welded pair WHO had
I'll income OF $25, 900 each, and in all
respects were the envy of their friends.
He was tho son Of a Quaker merchant
On Pearl street, and she belonged to
one of the oldest families in tho city. A
large family grew up about them, and
as they grew up habit Of drinking
fastened upon both father and mother.
The would sit at the table daily and
drink to intoxication. Finally the father
died, but the mother kept right on in
her evil ways, and at last turned the
three Oldest children out of the house.
In the end the coachman, All ignorant
but quick-witted fellow, got the upper
hand Of tho household, Turned the three
younger children adrift and assumed
control. Friends frightened him away,
and, hesltatiang to resort to extreme
measures, they talked and delayed until
nearly all Of the children'g property was
gone an their mother was wreck. It
would have been far better to have
placed her in confinement twenty years
ago than to have allowed her to exhibit
herself as she sometimes does to old
friends-red, coarse ,disheveled and clad
in torn rusty black--ths sodden wreck
of what was once one OF the most grace
full leaders of New York society, and
one OF the inspiring spirits in church
