SOUTH WASHINGTON.

A FAMILY FIGET.-Isaac schelnberg, n
Hebrew junk dealer on Four-and.a-half street,
near street southwest, was arrested last
night by onlcer Mulioy, on complaint of his
brother, Jacob scheinoerg, another junk
dealer, for disordorly condnct. The dlssen.
sion between tho brothers grew out OF recent
decision OF Judge Smell in the case OF Isaac,
who was before His Honor short time since
for being an unlicensed junk dealer. Tho
Judge took his personal bonds 10 produce II
permit from the license agent to conduct his
business. The license for carrying on this
business is fifty dollars. Isaac being a
poor man, tue magnanimous license agent
gave him permit TO conduct his business
until he made sunlclent money to pay his H.
cense. Jacob, who had paid his license fee,
did not feel pleased at the partially eXtenl led
10 bis brother, and SO told him vest. rday. A
fuss was the consequence, which wound up 10y
Issac heaping Hebrew curses ON jacob. A po.
liceman, VINO was standing near by, heard the
fuss, but as the 0aths used were In tho
Hebrew language, ho did not understaul H.,
and thought they were deeply Interested IN Il
business argument. Jacob swore out q war;
rant for Isaac, who was arrested as above
stated. The case Will BIO tried IN couct to-day.

that Lyman X. Bass was ono of the mem
bers of the House branch Of the committee,
and that he WAS at the time member of

FROM AGOTIN,

Asotih County, W. T., Jan. 26, 'S5.
To THE LEWISTON TELLER.-Sir:-
In the telegraphic dispatches received
from Washington, observe that Hon.
l. w. Daniel, of Va, a wounded ex.rcbel
soldier aud member of congress, has been
selected to deliver the oration before con-
gres at the dedication of the Washing.
ton monument, and will venture the as
sertion here, that in listening to this sil.
yer tongued son of the old dominion,
congress will enjoy treat rarely vouch-
safed to men more than once in life
time; but it is not this alone desire to
speak of here. During the past year /
have noticed that most of the republican
press of the country have never ceased to
ring the time worn changes on "Rebel
Brigadicrs" in congress. The South has
always sent her best men to congress, and
if fcalty to their state governments took
most of her brightest and bravest into tho
tented field in their defense. I say more,
honor to the people who recognize this
devotion TO what they were taught to
believe was their constitutional rights,
and who rewarded it by giving their war
worn veterans political positions Of honor
and emolument. These men had nobly
represented them on the field of bat
tle-and they represent them to say in
the halls of congress they have been
tried both in the fires Of war and politics,
and in the one as in the other they have
not been found wanting. Many of these
so-called "brigadiers' came out Of the
Confederate army to find themselves i'm
poverished, with families brought up in
affluence thrown upon them for support
homeless and hungry. These men
had to commence, what to them was a
new experience, and one OF which they
were thoroughly ignorant, viz: ''rhe
battle for bread" TO add to their hard
ships, they were for long dreary years af-
ter the war, domineered over and taxed
to the verge of ruin BY state and local
government, whose black history Of pecu.
lation, fraud and corruption, to-day brings
the blush of shame to the cheek Of every
honest republican in the land. Under
this load OF negro despotism and robbery
they staggered on. The old land was
dear to them, though it presented only
a scene of backcned ruins, it was al they
had, and it was home, and turning theil
faces toward the sun rise. they cheeret
each other on IN their endeavors to re
build from the ruins "new SOUTH In
this they have succeeded, with the assist
auce of their northern neighbors, who
have settled amongst, and who have sym
pathized with them in their efforts, they
are making the land again blossom as OF
old. Ffom every quarter Of the southern

THE HONEST DEACON.
Az OLD STORY IN RHYxx

An OLD STORY IN RHYME
All honest man was Deacon Ray;
And, though Christian good,
He had one fault,-the love Of driLk,
For drink he often would.
On almost every Sunday, too,
He would At dinner tins
Indulge to quite 1 great extent
In good Madeira wine.
At church, in front, upon the side,
The deacon had his pew;
Another worthy. Squire Ice,
He had seat there too
One Sunday, the sermon done,
The parson said he'd talk
In language plain, that afternoon,
Of sins within the fock.
He warned them that they must not finch
Ii he should be severe.
Each thought his neighbor'd get dressed
down,
So oil turned out TO hear.
Tho church at early hour wa. full
The deacon some behind,
Came IN quite late for he had been
AuuuiSuiS III MS vine.
And up the long and broad aisle
He stiffiy tottered on,
And, by the time he had reached his seat.
The sermon had begun.
The parson Of transgressors spoke,
And Of the wrath to flee;
And soon he to the query came
THE drunkard--Where in he ~
A pause and then the deacon rose,
Andanswered like man.
Though with hiccup in his voice,
Here, parson, n,--hic--'cre l am"
Of course the CONSERVATION
Was great on every side.
For who'd have thought the deacon
Would thus aptly have replied.
The preacher, not the least disturbed.
With his remarks kept on,
And warued to forsAke his ways.
The deacon then sat down.
Twas soon another question came.
with no more welcome sound
where is the wicked hypocrite
This made them all turn round,
Some looked at this one, rome at that.
As it they would inquire
Who twas the parson meant
His eyes were on the squire.
The descon. noting how things stood,
Turned round and spoke to Lee;
Come, squire, -hic--ceme, you get up J.:

A STORY ABOUT GENERAL BRAGG.
l have heard a story in the old
army very characteristic Of Bragg.
On one occasion, when stationed at
post Of several companies, COM
manded by a field officer, he was
himself commanding one Of the
companies, and at the same time
acting Post Qnartermaster and Com
missary. He was first lieutenant
at the time, but his captain was
detached on other duty. As COM
mander Of the company, he made a
requisition upon the Quarfermaster
himself-for something he wanted.
AS Quartermaster, he declined to
fill the reqvisition, and endorsed on
the back of it his reason for SO do
ing. As company commander he
responded to this, urging that his
requisition called for nothing but
what he was entitled to, and that
it was the duty of the Quartermas-
ter to fill it. The Quartermaster
still persisted that be was right.
In this condition of affairs Bragg
referred the whole matter to the
commanding officer. The latter,
when he saw the nature of the mat
ter referred, exclaimed: "My God,
Mr.. Bragg, you have quarreled
with every officer IN the army, and
now you are quareling with your
self" Longstreet was an entirely
different man.

PARTS OF GEN. GRANTS
BOOK.

The first volume of Gen. Grants
book is now completed, and much
of the second volume is in the
hands of his publishers, Messrs.
Charles L. Webster & Co., of this
city. In large type the first vol
ume makes abeut 500 pages. For
its frotispiece it has a steel portrait
engraved from daguerreotype ia
ken at Bethel, Ohio, in 1s43, when
Gen. Grant was just arrived at
manhood. Gen. Grant told the
publishers that he paid the price of
chopping twenty cords of wood for
it. In those days it took three
minutes to complete the taking of a
daguerreotype, and the photogra-
pher cautioned him not to wink
during the operation-a caution he
was obliged to disregard. This is
how Gen. Grant describes Gen.
Lees surrender:
l found General Lee had been
brought into our lines and conduct
ed to house belonging to a Mr..
Mclean, and was there with one of
his staff officers waiting my arrival.
The head of his column was occu-
plying a hill, portion of which
was an apple orchard. Across the
little valley from the Court House,
Sheridan's forces were drawn up in
line of battle on the crest of the
hill on the south side of the same
vallep. Before skating what took
place between Gen. Lee and N.Y.
self, I will give all there is of the
narrative of Gen. Lee and the fa-
nous apple tree. Wars produce
many stories Of fiction, some Of
which are told until they are be.
lieved. The war of the rebellion
was fruitful in the same way. The
story of the apple tree is one Of
those fictions with a slight founda.
ton of fact. As l have said there
was an apple orchard on the side Of
the hill occupied by the Confeder'
ate forces. Running diagonally uE
the hill was a wagon road which a
one point ran very near one of the
trees, so that the wheels on thai
side had cut off the roots of the
tree, which made little embark
ment. Gen. Babcock reported tt
me that when he first met Gen. Lex
he was sitting upon this embank
ment, with his feet in the road ant
leaning against the tree. 1t wa
then that Gen. Lee was conducted
into the house where l first met him
i / had known Gen. Lee in tn,
old army, and had served with hiu
in the Mexican war, but did no
suppose owing to the difference il
our ages and rank, that he woult
probably remember me; while
would remember him more distinct
ly because he was the chief engi
neer on the staff of Gen. Scott il
the Mexican war. When 1 hat
left camp that morning l had no
expected the result so soon tina
then was taking place, and eonse
quently was in rough garb, and,
believe, without a sword, as l usu
ally was when on horseback on tn
