Physically Mahome weighs l,ss than

Lee singled him out of all the gener-

WHAT THE SURVIVING LEADERS O
THE LOST CAUSEARE DoING.

Over a half dozen of the ex Con
federate generals who went into the
war bachelors have remained single
ever since, among them General Custls
Lee, the handsome aud popular son of
the Confederate chiefIian and General
Jubal Early, who is now seventy old.
Wherever he appears to speak in the
Virginia campaign Fitzhugh Lee is
received with enthusiasm, and bodies
of mounted men ride out from every
town to meet him and escort him to
the hotel.
Most Of the ex Confederate generals
who are not in politics are interested
in some way with railroads.
General Longs'reet has opened a
winter hotel in Georgia.
Fitzhugh Lee is short and stout,
with grayish chin whiskers, and looks
like farmer.
Great has been the fall of Malone.
Once he was the idol of the people o.
Virginia. and carried the political
vote of the State in his pocket. Now
be is revled and abused from every
stump and cross road.
As when he "did all the swearing
for Stoncwall jackson" General Jubal
Early continues TO enjoy the distinction
of being 1.-The tall,st swearer OF Nlr-
ginia."
General W. II. II. (Runy) Lee, a son
of the late Robert E. Lee, is now a
prosperous farmer in Fairfax county,
Virginia.
Age has not made any inroads upon
General Joseph E. johnson, now
United States railroad commissioner.
He has gotten over the nervous trouble
from which he suffered many years.
He is married, but has no children.
