The Parting Of Lee and His
Generals.

The final parting was in front OF
Lees mansion in Richmond, two days
after Appomattox. Lees house is an
ordinary square brick, standing alone
on Franklin street, n square from
the capitol. All the other houses on
the sdfuare are connected. Upon the
afternoon of the second day after the
surrender people in that vicinity were
surprised to see come riding up the
street from the south o company of
Confederate horsemen. They were
unarmed. Their gray uniforms were
worn, soiled, and often tattered, their
trappings old and patched. They wore
slouched hats, and here and there was
a feather remaining of the once smart
and iaunty dropping plume of the
Confederate cavalrymen. They were
bronzed and Drowned and bearded.
They sat erect and come on with the
splendid craftsmanship for which they
were noted. Upon the collars of some
of the gray jackets could still be seen
the faded and furnished gilt stars, the
emblems of the wearers' rank.
In front of them rode Lee. His two
hands held the loosely swinging reins
and rested upon the pommel. His
head was bent and his eyes looking
straight ahead from under his down
cast brow, but they seemed to see
nothing.
AS the troops cantered up to his old
home his horse stopped at the gate,
and he aroused himself suddenly, as
from a dream, and cast his eyes upon
the familiar windows and then around
over the group of gallant soldiers who
had followed his fortunes for four
bloody years and gone down in defeat
under his banner.
The end of it all had come at last.
He threw himself from his horse, and
all his companions followed his action.
They stood hat in hand, with an arm
through the bride rein, while Lee
went from IA to man, grasping each
hand, looking intently into each face
as though he would press it upon his
memory forever. Then he turned and
walked through the gate and up the
steps to his door. As a servant opened
the door he paused with his left foot
upon the veranda, his right upon the
last step, and looked back for the last
time. Not a word had been spoken,
not a goodbye uttered. There was no
sound heard but that of sobs as these
unkempt and grizzled heroes of a hun
dred battles leaned their heads against
the shoulders of their horses and Wept.
Lee gave one look, and broke down
at last. His hands were owe his eyes,
his frame shook with sobs, as he. turn
ed quickly and disappeared into his
lonely house. With the closing of the
door behind him ended forever the
dream of the Southern Confederacy.-

naturally the latter way is a certain mark
OF the feeling Of security or insecurity OF
financiers Of all kinds in London, the reader
may just now be in need of the reminder
that by far the greater portion of the ma
tional debt of the Unitei Kingdom has been
funded into perpetual obligation OF 3 per
cent interest per annum to the holders
The British ministers, when they desire to
borrow money, instead of Offering 81 900
bond at q, or per cent, principal payable
in ten or forty years, as was done in Amer
lea, say to the money lender: I'VE will pay
) per cent on everything We borrow. Now,
how much Of a bond do you want an return
for Sl,UOJi' The money-lsnder has received
as high as 81, IA and as low as S91S, accord
ing to the degree OF credit enjoyed by the
government In this way the government
has piled up an imaginary obligation OF So,

annual pension-roll Of SI45, 900, 900.
Now let us suppose that q man desires to
"leni money to the government'-that is, to
take the place of those who have 50 lent it.
or of those whose ancestors 50 lent it The
investor takes 81 900 into the market II
Napoleon has Just signed the peace Of
Tilsit, the lender obtains, as aforesaid,

is to draw per cent II Disraeli has just
torn up Russia's treaty Of San Stefano and

Again, II time pass, AMI premier with

Of isolation with the most Of the world and
hostility toward the good fighters, then the
holder sells his bond for $40. and may be
glai to get that much. This holder has be-
fore held bonds for which he paid 81 ,O0J and
sold as low as $500, and as high as 81, 02J.
ConSuls have not been 50 low for seven years
as they are at this crisis but they are still
firm, as ~ would be considered very low
and 100 very high.
The idea Of the consol wherein it differs
from the American consolidated debt, is that
