A Famous Relic.

One OF the mOsb lduouo lSilSo Va
the rebellion was, until recently, in
the possession of Mrs. Ord, but it is
now owned by Mr.. Gunther, a
wealthy confectioner Of Chicago.
This article was the identical table
upon which Gems. Grant and Lee
signed the famous paper surrender
ing Lees entire army, and virtually
ending the great civil war. 1t is a
very ordinary piece of cabinet work
being made of the cheapest materials
but having marble top. There can
be no doubt but that this is the table
used on that memorable occasion, as
Mrs. Ord had in her possession let
ter from Gen. U. S. Grant to that eff
feet. Until recently Mrs. Ord refus-
ed all offers for its purchase, but
finally sold it to Mr.. Gunther tor
81 900, one-third of the price origi-
nally asked.
"You cannot imagine how / regret
ted to part with the table" said Mrs.
Ord, with considerable feeling. Mrs.
Grant wanted it, so did Col. Fred
Grant and many others, but they
would not pay the sum l asked.
Gen. Ord thought great deal OF the
relic, and was always pleased to talk
about it. He was present when the
surrender was signed at Appomattox
Court House, and knowing that its
future value would be great, set it
aside. At the time of the surrender
the distinguished party did not pro-
coed to business until fully half an
hour after they had met. They
smoked their cigars and chatted
about their families and other purely
private matters. Finally the CONVEX
sation turned to the war and the
causes of Lees surrender.
"During this conversation Lee re-
marked to Grant that he was unable
to account for the disappearance OF
his supply train. Had he not have
lost it Lee said that he would not be
in the situation he then was. Sheri-
dan, who stood at the back of the
noted confederate generals chair,
was perfectly aware of what had be-
come of the supply train, for he cap
tured it. Turning to Gen. Ord, he
gave mischievous wink, that, could
Lee have seen it, would have solved
the conundrum as to the fate of his
supplies.
sin one corner of the marble top
of the table is a nick about an inch
long and probably a quarter of an
inch deep. This was caused by the
hilt of Gen. Lees sword striking the
table when he rose after signing the
paper. The marble chip fell off on
the floor, but Gen. Sheridan picked
it up and put it in his pocket. | do
not know what became of it,
Continuing, the lady said that the
table Mrs, Gen, Custer has, and
which she claims was the one upon
which Lees surrender was signed,
was not the table it purported to be,
although it is one of great historic
value. 1t is the one upon which
Gen. Gibbon wrote the order that
was afterward signed by Grant, an
nouncing Lees surrender. Gen. Gus
ter was present at the time, and, al
ter the other parties had loft the
room, seized the table and handed it
out of the window, telling one of his

c." to all postmasters saying that there
was a quantity OF seed being delivered
free by the government, and that farm
ers and other who wanted supplies
should send in their requirement to
their congressman. The postmasters
communicated the contents to the re-
porters and the reporters spread the
news abroad. As result the congress-
men have been inundated with applica-

no one in Washington knows anything

ly badly fooled. Postmaster Howard
got the circular and on his information
the newspapers have been the in
nocent means of fOoling the people In
this section and now the postmaster is
inundated with letters from those who
have written for the seed and cannot
get 1t. That the circular is bogus one
is quite clear, but it's motive cannot be
ascerrained. 1t Is however suspected
that it has been done to augment the
mails which are weighed and examined
at this time OF the year and the salaries
of postal officers are fixed upon the
result of the examination.

THE GOLDEN WEDDING.
BY CUE

BY CUE.
They had their golden wedding,
They'd been married fifty years;
1t was not golden wedding
That was marked by signs and tears.
But was simply a reminder
OF the days that could not last;
For everything was just as then,
Though fifty years had passed.
They danced upon the puncheon floor,
Sung songs and acted so
That everything reminded Them
or fifty years ago.
They were dressed Just in the fashion
OF the days when they were young,
And the sweetest singing e'er heard
was those old songs they sung.
The ceremony was performed,
The old man kissed her cheek,
Their eyes were filled with happy tears,
Their lips refused to speak.
At last the evening was well spent, g.,
The guests all gone away;
The bride and groom rehearsed events
VI their wedding day.
The groom remarked that it seemed strange,
And saio it DER and DER;
That everything should be just like
Twas fifty years ago.
The bride replied, my hair is white,
And yours is white as snow;
While both of them were black as Jet
Some fifty years ago.
know our hair is whitened now,
But then don't forget
To call the old girl darling
Nor she to call me pet"
And this has been my greatest joy;
His eyes then filed with tears,
When he thought how happy they had been
For half hundred years.

Startling Bald-knobber Develop
mentS.


ST. LOUIS, March 23.-The trial of
John A. Matthews, another Bald-knob.
Der, was begun at Ozark yesterday. In
the testimony OF Charley Graves, was
the startling announcement that Dave
Walker said in the presence of John
Walker, on the way from Edens' house,
after the murder:,,If anyone will take my
boy to Douglas county | will go
back with the rest Of the men, and kill
the woman and children and then burn
the house, and leave no trace of the
work" At this assertion Matthews be-
came greatly sgitated; severe crOss-ex-
animation further developed the story
that it was the intention of the Bald
knobbers to administer a whipping to
Judge Stone and others of prOmi-
hence. The above testimony of Graves
Is looked upon with much doubt, as it
follows closely upon Matthew'S denun-
citation Of him.
