.ghe Surrender of Gen. Lee.

Baltimore, April 7.-Col. Charles
Marshall, chief of Gen. Lees staff,
speaking of the surrender at Appomat-
tox and of the meeting of Gems. Grant
and Lee, says: When shown into the
room, Gen. Grant advanced and shook
hands with Gen. Lee. The Federal
commander was in nndress uniform
and without side arms, while Gen. Lee
was in full uniform. Gen. Grant, by
way of apology to Gen. Lee for coming
without his side arms, said that his
sword was with his baggage and
because of his desire to reach the place
for the conference he had fastened on
in nndress uniform.
|. This was the only allusion to q
sword that was made at the interview.
After the terms of surrender were set
tied Gen. Grant explained that he was
advised that Gen. Lees forces had a
number of Federal prisoners, who, like
their captors, were out of rations.
Gen. Sheridan replied that he could
supply $4,000 rations. Gen. Grant
then instructed him to send $4,000
rations to Gen. Lees commissary.
After the interview Gen. Lee asked
for Gen. Williams and thanked that Of
ficer for kindness shown to his son Gen.
GUSTS Lee, who had been captured
several days before.
When Gen. Lee and Col. Marshall
rode off the Federal officers filed the
front porch. Col. Marshall is not sure
that Gen. Grant was among them, for
his thoughts were busy with other
matters at the time.

PopULAB1TY.-Popularity is one OF
the things of an earthly harvest for
which quite earthly qualifications are
required. Isay not always dishonor-
able qualifications, but a certain fex-
Utility of disposition; a certain courtly
willingness to sink obnoxious truths,
and adapt ourselves to the prejudices
Of the minds of others; a certain
adroitness at catching the tone of
those with whom we are. Without
some of these things no man can be
popular in any profession.
But you have resolved to be a liver,
a doer, champion of the truth.
Your ambition is to be pure in the
last recesses of the mind. You have
your reward: q soul upright and
manly; fearless bearing, that breads
to look no man in the face; a willing
ness to let men search you through,
and defy them to see any difference
between what you seem and what you
are. Now, your price: your price is
dislike. The price OF being true is
the Gross. The warrior of the truth
must not expect success. What have
you to do with popularity Sow for
it, and you will have it. But if you
wish for it, or wish for peace, you
have mistaken your calling; you must
not be teacher of truth; you must
not cut prejudice against the grain;
you must leave medical, legal, theo-
logical truth to harder and nobler
men, who are willing to take the
martyrs cross, and win the martyrs
crown,

Nervousness.

The moment there is danger of impair
Ynent Of the mind from excessive nervous
exhaustion, or where there exists fore
bodings of evil, a desire for solitude,
stunning and avoiding company, vertigo
and nervous debility, or when insanity
has already taken place, PERUNA and
MANALIN should be implicitly relied on.
But it is never well to wait SO long before
treatment is commenced. The early
symptoms are loss of strength, softness
of the muscles, dim or weak sight, pecu-
liar expression of the face and eyes,
coated tongue, with impaired digestion;
or in others, certain powers only are lost
while they are otherwise enjoying com.
paratively good health. In all these Pc
RUNA and MANALIN should at once be
taken.

of this State are paying no attention
to the rawlings of disappointed office
seekers. They are satisfied with
President Cleveland's appointments
in Louisiana. They regard Eustis

equanimity and feel that next election
will be time enough to put on the

The tariff organs are now begin
ming to deprecate any legislation in

movement that looks to a change in

The crude, homogeneous and de-

industries of the country have been

taxed will be revised and corrected
during the session of the next Con

The following resolution adopted
by the Democratic party at their re-

talk and to the point. They are in
favor of:
"The protection of the equal rights

the criminal laws, and to this end we
exhort judges, peace officers and ju-
rors, grand and petit, to vigilance,
fidelity and promptness."

An Encouraging Prospect.

Representative Morrison, Of Hi
nois, says there will be an effort made
to adjust the tariff taxes to something
like fair basis during the coming
session of Congress. He declines to
indicate what part he will take in the
effort, but says the Democratic party
is pledged to tariff revision and must
be faithful to its obligations.
This ought to be gratifying intel
ligence to the entire country. Polit-
ical parties are not always faithful to
their pledges. It is frequently the
practice to promise literally and per
form sparingly. But those who voted
the Democratic party into power will
hold it to its pledges and it is Ell.
conraging to know that leaders like
Mr.. Morrison require no urging.
The reasons which should impe
the majority in Congress to action il
this direction are abundant. Under
the present system every industrial
and commercial interest is languish
ing. The people are taxed until bur
dens are outrageous, and every inter
est demands relief. The nearest anc
best road to the desired end is through
a revision of the tariff tax laws.

feet in width, and extends from the |
bottom of the bill towards Phelps
lake east 1900 feet, which runs over
the top of this bill. The entire field
is covered with fine surface ore. At
the bluff the depth of this surface
ore can be plainly seen, which is
about 9 feet. In all my investiga-
tons in this section of the State, I
have not met with any ore of SINH
lar character; that is, such large,
massive pieces of high grade ore; it
certainly affords me great satisfac-
ton to report this. Adjoining this
place is another hill with nearly
similar conditions.
From here / pushed on to the ex-
treme northwest corner of the parish,
with the view of ascertaining what
ore bodies exist there. After leaving
Phelps lake I crossed many high
and extremely steep hills (the hills
of this section will take the prize
for the highest in Louisiana). 1 met
with great deposits of siliceous ore,
the silex they carry being too great
render them useless for the present.
This same condition exists from
here to Red Land, distance 10 miles
from Red Land diagonally across to
Collinsburg, also from here to Rocky
Mount, and from thence again to
Red Land on the east. At Red Land,
however, I examined a stretch of
land on the northwest of Red Land
from a quarter to one mile of first.
class ore. Also at Rocky Mount an
excavation was made about 10 feet
square, and six feet deep, showing
successive strata from one to three
inches thick of high grade small ore.
About 100 yards north of this exca-
walton very fine ore covers the sur
face in quantities.
From Rocky Mount l drove to
Bellevue in order to make some in
vestigations there, this being the
last point to exaime. A short dis.
tance north of the town is deposit
of fine geodic iron. The goodies are
much larger than any heretofore
seen by me. This field does not
show indications of great extent
The conditions for mining, labor,
timber and water, are equal to any
in the State. There is only one
serious drawback; that is, facilities
for transportation. The. best ore
bodies exist principally in the north
west portion of the parish, very far
removed from any railroad commu.
nication. Red River might be
utilized at certain seasons of the
