US this day our bonds in gold, but no silver
give us plenty of laboring mems votes to keep

many things that were wrong; We know it was
wrong to refund the bonds and make them pay-
able in corn ; we know it was wrong to demon
etize silver we know it was wrong to water
all our railroad stocks but thou knowcst we
made money by that. Now, our father, thou
knowest we are above politics 1t is the same
to us whether the Democrats or the Republicans
rule, for thou knowest we are able to sway oil
political jobs in our favor. Lead us not into
the way Of the strikers, but deliver us from the
hands Of the insane Knights of Labor. Thus
shall we have tho kin gdom, bonds, interest
power and gold till Republic shall end. Amen.

How GENERAL LEE CoURrED DEATH.
Reagan gives me new fact In General Lee 8
history which is not generally known in the
North. He said that towards the close of the
downfall of the Confederate Government there
was very general impression among the high
officials of the Confederacy that General Lee
intended to lose his life on the field of battle
This impression was shared by officers Of Lee g
army. General Lee never lost an opportunity
OF placing himself In q position OF danger.
MIR. Reagan says that he drove out from Rich
mond to see Lee upon the day the principal
battle Of Cold Iiarbcr was fought. AS he came
up near where he could see Lees headquarters,
he saw the shells bursting continually around
his tent and ploughing up the grouad in front
Of him. Some of the officers asked Mr.. Reagan
to try and sersuade General Lee to move his
headquarters behind piece of timber near by.
All felt that he was exposing his life too much.
Mr.. Reagan said to Genera! Lee: "I do not
presume to advise any general in the midst OF
q battle, but are you not exposing yourself too
much? Ought you not to 60 back nearer your
reserve?' General Lee 50 id he had no reserve.
He had only one line Of men. lie did not
dare to shorten his line for fear it would be
turned, and did not dare to thin IL for fear II
would be broken. General Lee evidently
sought death many times during the closing
days Of the war. That was the view of the
Southern leaders then and is still believed by
many Washington Letter.
