General Lees Offering.
HIS MOST PATHETIC.


Many of the most beautiful and pathetic
incidents of the war occurred after it was all
over At hotel in Washington in 1868 a
gentleman whose face I could not remem-
Der exactly, though 1t seemed strangely
familiar, introduced himself and asked per-
mission to present me to his mother, a
slngularly beaatiful old lady ofqueenly and
dignifed bearing, to whom he said, Mother,
let me present to you General R. E. Lee, of
the late Confederate Army, whose saber
thrust gave me this scar on my right cheek
end who bears the mark of wound I gave
him" The beautiful old lady threw her
arms around my neck and wept on my
shoulder. In that tender embrace and the
fervent clasp of the Federal officers hand
and mine we buried the animosities of the
war forever.
HIS MOST HUMOROUS.
One of the most devoted adherents the
Southern cause ever had was Colonel M.
No matter how thick and black disaster
lowered upon our arms, the Colonel never
saw anything but brightest hope and abso-
lutte surety of success in the near future.
In fact, he might not inappropriately have
been styled the Caleb Balderstone of the
Confederate army, for just as the original
Caleb was always representing his master as
being in the most aff1uent and prosperous
circumstances, and inventing the most in
genious lies to make it appear so, the Colonel
constantly represented the resources of the
Southern people to be Gmitless in the same
clever fashion.
AT length, when defeat stared us plainly
in the face, and my surrender to General
Grant was inevitable, young officer deli
cately limited to the Colonel that his
confidence in the ultimate success of our
arms, which was still as boastful as ever
was perhaps tfife overweening. The
Colonel looked at him moment with an
expression in which contempt, anger
horror and musement struggled for the
mastery. Then with hands uplifted, hair
standing on end and eyes flashing fire, he
roared out at the discounted lieutenant in
the voice of a stentor: ''Dam up Niagara
Falls with tissue paper, bottle up the At
lantic Ocean in a whisky flask, paste 'to let
on the sun and moon, catch flash of light,
ming between your thumb and finger, build
a worm fence around winter supply of

On March 6 last Mr.. Cross left the city.
He was next heard from in Nashville in
June. At the last named place he had
caShed a draft for 500. and thereafter,
until now, all trace OF him was lost.
Shortly before that Mr.. Cross had sus-
tanned severe injuries to his head in q rail-
road accident IN Georgia, aud had for
months been under the care OF a physician
at the KimbalI house in Atlanta. When be
disappeared, as related. some there were
who attributed the fact TO a diSordered
mind growing out of the injuries referred
to, it having been supposed that he wan
dered 60 some out-of-the-way place and
persisted. Others there were who thought
that, hIgh-strung as he was generally known
to be, and as his business affairs we're not
exactly in the most prosperous condition,
be had, carefully concealing all evidence Of
his identity, ended his own life.
The newspapers of the country were full
of the occurrence at the time, and the young
mans mother was nearly distracted with
grief. The missing man was the favorite
son, and she by him had ever been regarded
with the greatest veneratlon aud love.
Either theory as to his disappearance
seemed plausible one in the light thereof,
for it was considered certain that alive and
municated with his mother.
At all events he is alive. The particulars
OF his discovery are very meager. r.
M. Bushnell. with the firm of Melefee &
Co., has received O letter from s.
NJ. Cross of Bagdad setting forth facts as
follows: L. Hilton Green OF this city,
now in New York, discovered Mr.. Cross on
the streets of that city few days since. He
followed and overlook him, and thsn per-
Al h ~
George, who is III business in New York.
The young man was found to be in a state
of total nervous collapse, and he has since
been the object OF unremitting care and
attention on the part of skilled physicians,
who allege his case to be one Of the most
extreme in nervous prostitution, both men
tally aud physically, they had ever seen.
MIR. Cross cannot explain his presence in
New York, it is said, his mind, from the
time he left Nashville, being blank. Asa
matter of course, he will be given the best
of care. and when he RECEIVERS, should he re-
cover, he will again take charge of his
business affairs here and elsewhere.
In a roundabout way there comes a re-
port that Mr.. Cross for several months past
has been an assistant bookkeeper in New
York business house. This story cannot be
verified, but the gentleman's friends, who
have heard it, say that such thing is pos
sible only in this way: Having wandered off
in state of mental alteration he had as
soon as he came to his senses so keenly felt
the position he had been placed in by the
stories of his disappearance that he con-
cluded to hide his identity and begin life
anew. There was absolutely. they assert,
no reason for his leaving home and business.
The latter, it was true, was not in the best
shape possible, but he could have extricated
himself from the straits to which he had
been reduced with honor and credit.

MOTHER AND SON REUNITED.

They Had Been Parted by His Fathers
Elopement When He Was Child
ATLANTA, Nov. 18.-Mrs. James Calvo
has found her son, whom she has mourned
as dead for more than a score of years. Her
husband eloped with servant girl % years
ago, taking with him their 3-year-old boy.
A few months later she received letter
from stranger in New York, informing
her that Calvo the girl and the child were
lost at sea while on the way to Europe.
Calvo had gone to New York and caused
the letter to be sent her, giving circumstan-
tial details of fictitious shipwreck. He
then went to a small town in New Jersey,
where he engaged in business and pros
pered. He taught his son to believe that
the woman with whom he lived was his
mother.
Three years ago Calvo died, leaving con-
siderable property. The lawful Mrs. Calvo
was induced some time ago to mail letters
to various parts of the United States, max
ing inquiries about her son and husband.
In some way the son came into possession
of one of these letters, and as something
had occurred since his fathers death to
arouse his suspicious, he took the letter to
an attorney, who advised him to write to
the woman in Georgia. He did so and told
his supposed mother of his action. The
woman protested that he was crazy and that
she was his mother. In short time young
Calvo received reply which contained un-
mistakable evidence that his own mother
lived in Atlanta. The letter was shown to
the pretended mother, and she admitted
then that she was not his real mother, but
said his mother was dead, and that the let
ter from the Georgia woman was trap to
catch the boy, to hold him to account for
something his father had done in Atlanta.
The young man did not believe this and at
once started for Atlanta, where he found
awaiting him the true mother, whom his
filial instinct recognized at sight.
