simple duty. The side arms and
the horses were private property,
belonging to the officers and men,
and to have taken them would
have been nothing more nor less
than robbing the soldiers Of their
private property. Now, if a COM
mander deserves to be eulOgized
above other men because he dis
discharged his duty, then heap up
your encomiums mountain high upon
Grant for not putting each and
every soldier to the sword ON the
day Of Lees Surrender. This is
greatness and goodness "numbe1
one"
Now, here is greatness and
goodness ''number two" They say
he told Mr.. Stanton that Lee was
his prisoner, and that if he arrested
him he would resign, or he would do
it at his (StantOn's) peril.
The truth disrobed of it's varnish
and gloss is simply this, Grant did
nothing at the surrender, nor up to
his election as President of the
Uai,ed States, but what any other
Of the hundred generals in the
Union army would have done under
the same circumstances, and he had
nothing to do with Lee or Davis be-
ing indicted or not indicted fOl
treason against the Federal Gov
eminent. Neither of these great
men, nor any other who bore arms
against the Federal Union was
gritty Of treason, any more than
Mr.. Grant or Mr.. Lincoln, and NJ
two men upon the face of this earth
knew this better than these two
last named individuals.
IfMr. Davis and Mr.. Lee had beer
guilty Of treason they would have
been tried and convicted, and Mr.
Grant world not and could noS have
prevented it. For an Individual tC
have levied war against the Uni
ted States would have been treason
but for a State or a number O.
States to have levied war, after
they had severed their connection
rom the Federal Union by the same
power they had united with it
wOIld not have been treason. The
The Republican party, the North
the civilized world knew the South
was not guilty Of treason. Mr.
Davis begged to be tried for treason;
the government declined to try, be-
cause it could not convict, end be
cause a trial would have made il
manifest to the world that the South
had not violated the Constitution
in leaving the Union. And the Fed
era Government admitted our Con
stitutioual right to withdraw from
the Union by reconstructing the
Southern States andi readmittjng
them back into the Union. So VIZ
conclude that Grant had nothing tt
do Win the mercy these "gushers'
say was extended to the South.

BEYOND THE STARS,

Beyond the Stars there breaks a morn
That never wears to eve forlorn,
That never sees its happy fire
In darkness chilling gloom expire,
Nor hears the night winds mocking
scorn.
Meier droops the lily there, once born,
Nor roses, nor tasseled corn,
/. Nor is there any funeral pyre,
Beyond the stars.
What though our feet be bruised and torn
By jagged stone and rending thorn.
We shall not flag, we shall not tire,
But cherished more the fond desire
To hide at last when faint and worn,
Beyond the stars.-Ex.

night. A party of twelve were tax.
ing a late supper there. For des-

just thirteen for twelve persons. The
dish was passed around and each
party took an orange, leaving one on
the plate. When the plate was passed
everybody looked at it covetously
but simply said:
'No, thank you.''
A sudden gust of wind blew out
the lamp, and in the darkness six
gentlemen and six ladies shook
hands right on that coveted orange.

"Why, sent the bell boy up to
