General Grant to Comrade in Philadelphia

General Grant to a Comrade in Philadelphia,
When [ reached Appomattox G. a.,
Lee had been in McClean's house for
some time. All there is of the apple
tree story is this: When 1 received a
note from Lee asking to meet me at
Appomattox, where he then was, I sent
him note saying I would be there as
soon as possible. There was an old ap-
pie orchard on the hillside, opposite
McClean's house, where the advance of
Lees army had halted when the white
flag was exhibited. A farm road ran
diagonally up the hill, through the or
chard. In places where trees were
close to the wheel tracks, on the upper
side of the road, the roots had been cut
off by being continually run over This
left low bank between the road and
trees so cut. When the officer General
0. p. Babcock } who bore my reply to
General Lee reached him he was seated
On one Of these entertainments. with his
feet in the road and his back against the
tree. He was then invited to pass
through our lines to house to await
my arrival. u. S. GRANT.

Lands for Settlers.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The secretary
Of the interior has recommended to con-
gress that about 1000, 600 acres Of land
included in the Blackfeet, Peck and Fort
Belknap Indian agencies, Mont, be re-
stored to the public domain and opened to
settlement, and that the Indians be paid
$4,000 annually at each agency for IF
teen years.
Senator Dawes, from the committee on
Indian affairs, reported favorably a bill
providing for permanent reservations for
the Indians in Northern Montana. 1t
contemnlates a reservation near Sweet
Grass hills and Marias river for the Pie
gan and Blackfeet Indians, and near the
Fort A~ssiniboine military reservation for
the Fort Belknap agency. These lands
are to be held for the benefit Of the In
dams and may, whenever congress SO de-
cides, be patented to them in zevenlty to
enable the Indians named. as well aa
those at the Fort Peck agency, to become
self-supporting. Provision is made for
the annual grant ofs75.o0o to those of
each agency.

Aud How to Get Out--Matters whIcl
VIII Repay Consideration.


-
There is going to be an enormous
gathering Of people at Washington next
month, and while every provision is being
made in advance to avoid confusion and
insure the comfort Of all, still ''the gods
helps those who help themselves" To
look out for number one is but the nat
ural course a sensible man would follow.
The railroad situation in Washington is
easilyto be understood. There are but two
depots in the city. Into one will come an
aggregation Of travel from the South, the
North, the East and the West-tnin
after train, thousands upon thousands Of
people, until packed like sardines in a
box would be but a feeble way to put
it. Into the other depot will only CONF
the trains Of the Baltimore and Ohio, that
company owning and using it exclusively
for its own business-cverything in the
hands of its own officials, and details 50
arranged that there can be no mixing up
or getting on or of trains at wrong
times and wrong places. Indeed, it
would not take much thought on the part
Of those who have had any experience
whatever as to crowds to appreciate the
advantage the B. 4 o. possesses in Wash-
ington. Then, too, there are the facilities
the lines have in regard to track room
and unrestricted means Of getting trains
directly into depots. For instance, the
B. 4 o. is the only road into Washington
which can and does separate its passenger
business so hat trains from the West
come into Washington on the tracks Of
one division and the trains from the East
and North upon the tracks Of another
division.
The great importance Of these facilities
may be appreciated from the fact that all
the trains that enter the National Cap
ital, upon other lines than the B. 4 o.,
come together in a single depot, and the
packing and jamming will be something
terrific to behold, let alone getting in and
about them The great number Of trains
from the Southern lines alone wonld com
pletely Gil a depot double the capacity Of
the one in question. and when to them
are added those from other sections, the
chances are that a good many passengers
will have to walk into town OF spend the
day or night in vain regrets that tickets
we're not bought by the B. 10.
Another item Of no ordinary interest to
Western people is that by any other line
to Washington than the Baltimore and
Ohio all trains from the West have to
come together with trains from the Fast
and North, and all nse one South bound
track for forty-odd miles. THAT is to say,
that no other line but the B. 4 o. has
two different divisions into Washington,
one for It's traina from the West and the
other for its trains from the North and
East All this may proye more or less con-
fnsing Or perplexing to those who contem-
