Gen. Leo In 1866.

Gen. Robert Edmund Lee visited the
capitol on the afternoon of Feb. IL,
1866, and I accidentally met him in
one of the corridors. He recognized
me at once, and, after an exchange of
salutations, inquired the way to the
room occupied by the joint committee
on reconstruction. escorted him to
the door, and l afterward learned that
he was rather coldly received on his
entrance by the subcommittee on Vir-
ginia, which was Mr.. Washburn, of
Illinois, Conkling. of New York, and
Blow, of Missouri. He appeared to
feel the manner in which he was re-
ceived, and submitted to long exam
nation, which did not elicit any new
fact. Indeed, he was quite roticent,
and did not volunteer any remark be-
yond the proper answer to the question
put to him.
He said that, SO far rs he had oppor-
tunities for learning. the cop'e OF Vir-
ginia had accepted the reSUt OF the
war in good faith and were anxious for
a restored amity in the unioa. When
pressed by q question, he wa slid TO
have intimated that tho iec.i =. ior the
union was much stronger jus, after the
close of the war than at that me, and
there appeared to him to be , me inn

who had not been identified with the
war in the south should be- I.rgvcnted
from representing their state, IN con-
gress. Ho declared that the,s was a
disposition to treat the freedmen well
for their own interest as well Us for
that of the white people. He express
ed decided hope that the government
might endure for all time, and regard
cd the course of President johnson and
Gen. Grant toward the south as liberal
and humane. 1t was plain 10 the COM
mittee that Gen. Lee found himself in
very unpleasant position. and he did
not communicate very freely.
A crowd awaited his appearance
from the committee room. and follow
cd him from the capitol down Pennsyl-
vania avenue to his hotel. A large
number of people called upon him, but
he avoided, as far as possible, oil pub

Blasted Hopes.

A New York correspondent writes
that the most popular thing in the
amusement line in that city just now is
a song from comic German opera.
The verses are clever. and each one
propounds query which lead to the
refrain: "Seek the answer in the stars. "
The song is sung says the correspon-
dent, by three persons, and they do 1t
with all the comicality which they can
command; but, while the audience was
laughing, it occurred to me that the
successful performers must have felt
more like weeping Whyp Because of
their blasted hopes. They were Nine,
Cotrelly, DE Wolf Hopper, and Digby
Bell. Neither was satisfied with being
a clown. Cotrelly is German, and
for several seasons she played tragic
roles in her own language, Deing the
leading tragedionne OF the ITALIA
theater. Her ambition was to become
Ristori or Rachel, but she Is COM
PEELED to drop to farce. DE Wolf Hop
per went on the stage eight years ago
full of the intention to excel in heroic
characters. He played lovers to Lolita
awhile, and expected TO advance into
legitimate parts. He was accorded q
trial once with Edwin Booth. 1t was
no use. His talent lies in grotesquerie,
and he must be bufloon or nothing
histrionic. Digby Bell used to row on
the Harlem along with party of we'll
TODD New Yorkes, TO whom he occa-
sionally sang barytone songs in voice
which he, and the listeners, thought
would be boom to grand opera. He
cultivated it, found that it was not
good enough for the high purpose, and
is pcrforce q comic singer of topical
doggercl.

A Curious Cave.

A man calling himself 4. &. Pyle,
who Is teaching school in the noun
tains of Tennessee, in letter to an
Ohio paper. graphically describes the
finding Of a cave by party Of railway
engineers. The cave was explored for
considerable distance. At the en-
trance was discovered an inscription In
Hebrew characters. After passing
some 800 yards into the cave it en-
larged into great amphitheatre. Still
further in the cave was found an ap-
palling sight that struck terror to the
hearts of the explorers. There, on the
right and left and in front, were thous-
ands of grinning skeletons. encased in
brass armor. with ponderous shields.
Not less than 5000 skeletons were seen,
each of which was reclining on his
shield. They presented the appearance
Of men killed in battle. who had been
brought there for burial. A large
brass box contained manuscript giving
On account of their wanderings. Ac-
cording to this veracious chronicler.
Tennessee holds the remains Of the lost
tribes of Israel.

and the jury finally retired to deliberate
upon their verdict. They were out
about an hour when they returned with

the victory was a complete one tor the

amounted to $1,000. The signerS are
