THE P0sTMAN POET,

John Hyslop, Who Died in England Last
Month, Began Life as Mechanic.
The appended lines from the poem, 'The
King Has Called Me-" were written by
John Hyslop, the "Postman Poet" just be-
fore his death at Kilmarnock, in England.
Hyslop was q self-educated man, beginning
life as mechanic, but in consequence Of
his weak health was compelled to seek an
other occupation, and was appointed rural
messenger in connection with the Kill
marnock postofice. Some ten years ago he
published volume of poems In a letter
to the Kilmarnock Standard, just before his
death, he said: ''I feel this will be the last
contribution you will ever have from John
Hyslop."
The King has called me to his side tonight,
Bring me white garments-raiment pure as
For ali things must be clean within. with
When into His Presence-chamber go
To praise His name who now has stoop'd so
hear the music in the upper rooms,
My soul like pent bird panteth to be free;
When that has passed beyond life's prison
Then burn or bury, do what pleaseth thee
With the worn cage that Is no longer Me-
For shall neither know. nor hear, nor see.
Sometimes, perchance, amid the hdrrying
years,
With friends in shady nook OF wooded
glen,
You'll say: He coined his souls best
thoughts in words,
And sent them rushing through his ready
pen
In songs Of hope to cheer HIS fellow men,"
If any songs OF ell the songs I've sung
Make any music where lilies discord mars
Gods harmonies, and through the souls Of
men
Goes echoing on to heal some hidden scars.
Then shall hear it from beyond the starsI

TWO COSTLY CURIoSITIEs.
Both Are Cherry Seeds, but One of Them
Brought s25,oco.

Both Are Cherry Seeds, but One of Them
Brought S25,0Co.
Chicago Herald.l
In a museum of curiosities at Salem,
Mass, there is preserved a common cherry
seed or stone, followed and fashioned like
a basket. Within the basket are II tiny
silver spoons, the shape and finish of which
cannot be distinguished with the naked eye.
The name of the artist who constructed this
little wonder has been lost, but the actual
existence of the thing itself will not be
questioned by any one from the old witch
Headquarters of the Bay State.
Dr. Peter Oliver, who lived in England
during the early part of the eighteenth
century, tells of seeing a carved cherry
stone which would be q wonder even in this
age of fine tools and fine workmanship.
The stone was one from a common cherry,
and upon it were carved the heads of 124
popes, kings, queens, emperors, saints,
etc. Small as they must necessarily have
been, it is announced on the authority of
Prof Oliver, that with a good glass the
heads of the popes and kings could readily
be distinguished from those of the queens
and saints by their mitres and crowns. The
gentleman who brought this little wonder
to England purchased it in Prussia, allow
the original owner 95, 900 for his treasure.
Think of it, S25, 900 for cherry seedl

The APPLE TREE OF APPoMATlox.
Lee Did Not Hand Over His Sword Under
1t, but It's Nice Story, Anyhow.

Lee Did Not Hand Over His Sword Under
II, but It's a Nice Story, anyhow.
The writer being anxious to discover the
truth concerning the traditionary apple
tree of Appomattox was escorted by a Mr..
Hix, who was the owner of the field in
which the apple tree was said to have
stood, writes E J. Edwards. Mr.. Hix led
the writer through the orchard to a place
where there was a considerable hollow in
the ground and then he told this story.
Said he:
SIT is too bad, perhaps. to spoil this ira
dition, but it is purely myth. General
Lee came up with his army and encamped
on that ridg. you see yonder. Lee had
hoped to get around by another road so as to
get into Lynchburg, which is practically an
impregnable town, but he found that this
could not be done Sheridan had cut off
his retreat by all the roads General Lee
had also received letters from General Grant
suggesting the hopelessness of further hos
tilities, and when he saw Sheridsn's armv
beyond him he realized the truth of that
suggestion. saw him ride down with his
staff until they came nearly to the brink of
the Appomatto1 creek. They halted right
here, alongside of the orchard. Then they
dismounted and went into the orchard, and
bOlucUOuy uldUC d lOuSu ecdb IOl OCHcIdi
Lee out of fence rails. He was sitting under
an apple tree, that one there, near the bank.
He seemed to be in consultation with his
officers.
'tAt last one of the officers started out
from the group with white cloth tied to a
stick, as it seemed to me. BY and BY there
came from the Union army a group of
officers, who met General Lee and his staff
in the field just this side of the creek. I
was told afIerward that they had come to
arrange with him for the meeting with
General Grant in the afternoon. General
Lee then returned to the orchard and sat
for while under the apple tree. Then he
and his staff mounted their horses and rode
back to the army.
CATER the surrender was announced in
the afternoon somebody started the story
1 never could find out who-that Grant had
met Lee in the orchard and that the sur
render, under an apple tree, had been made
That evening l saw scores and scores of
Union soldiers in the orchard. In some
way they had selected particular tree, and
before morning there was not even fibre of
its roots left In getting the relics they
had dug out this hole which you see here,
and have always left it just as they did on
that night. 1 suspect that the story origin
ated from the TACT that the flag of truce
was sent out while General Lee was sitting
under that other apple tree nearer the
road"

Il Consists Of ALI the Authentic Photo
graphs Extant of Washington.
Mr.. J. F. Sachse, of Philadelphia, has
most interesting collection of pictures of
Washington, which he recently exhibited to
the Photographic Society, says writer in
the New Orleans Pieay,u's 1t consists of
photographs of all the authentic portraits
extant of the Father of His Country, ar
ranged in chronological order, from Peale's
first study of Mt Vernon, in 1772, to that,
and the last, of St. Memin in Philadelphia
in 1893
The most interesting of all was a picture
of the mask taken of Washington's face by
Houdon. The sculptor came to this coun-
try for the purpose of modelling statue OF
Washington, which was to be placed in the
Capitol of Virginia He spent two weeks
at Mount Vernon making measure
ments of Washington's person, and
subsequently made mask of the face
in plaster. 1t was from this mask that the
face of the now celebrated bust was fash
.ioned. The original life mask was loaned
after Washington's death to Struthers, a
Philadelphia marble mason, who made a
plaster cast of it, This cast was presented
to the Historical Society of Philadelphia.
