The Apple Tree OF Appomattox.

Pittsburg Dispatch.
The writer being anxious to discover
the truth concerning the Evolutionary
apple tree of Appomattox was escort
ed by . Mr.. Xix, who was the owner
Of the field in which the apple tree
was said to have stood. Mr.. Xix led
the writer through the orchard to q
place where there was considerable
hollow in the ground and then he
tod this story. Said he:
sit is too bad, perhaps, to spoil this
tradition, but it is purely myth

encamped on that ridge you see yon-

another road so as to get into Lynch.
burg. which lie practically an impreg
nable town, but he found that this
could not be done. Sheridan had cut
IF his retreat by all the roads. Gen.
Lee had also received letters from
zen. Grant suggesting the hopeless
ness of further hostilities. and when
he saw Sheridsn's army beyond him
be realized the truth of that sugges
tion.. I saw him ride down with his
staff until they came nearly to the
brink of the Appomattox creek. They
halted right here, alongside of the
orchard. Then they dismounted and
went into the orchard, and somebody
made rough seat for Gen Lee out of
fence rails. He was sitting under an
ample tree-that one there-near the
bank. He seemed to be in consulta
Z tion with his officers.
"Atlas one of the officers started
out from the group with white cloth
tied to stick, as 1t seemed % me
By and by there came from the Union
army q group of officers, who met
Gen. Lee and his staff in the field 4,
just this side of the creek. Twas told
sfterward that they had come to ar
range with him for the meeting with
Gen. Grant in the afternoon. Gen.
Lee then returned to the orchard and
sat for q while under the apple tree
Then he and his staff mounted their
horses and rode back to the army.
"After the surrender was announced
in the afternoon somebody started the
story-I never could find out who
that Grant had met Lee in the orchard
and that the surrender, under an
apple tree, had been made. That

The Naturalist and the Fleas.
Chicago Journal
A naturalist, who is both an ardent
student In his branch of science and
absent minded to 8 degree which
keeps his family on the alert, recently
celebrated his silver wedding Many
guests were invited for the occasion
and the house was made ready for
the reception of the company.
just as the guest arrived one the
daughters was sent to summon the
father, who had not come from his
STUDY. Care had been taken that he
should bereminded to dress in tim Q
80 he wasall ready, and at the sum-
mons of the daughter he came to the
parior.
When they, reached the room the
daughter noticed that her father
carried In his hand q small wooden
box, and as he shook hands with the
nearest guest che cav him drop
IL. The cover rolled off, but she gave
. Sign Of relief when she saw that the
box was apparently empty.
The naturalist, however, uttered a
cry of dismay, and instantly went
down on his hands and knees in an
attempt to gather up something.
Have you spilled anything,
father?n she asked.
Spilled anything!.' be echoed, in
DISQUALIFICATION at her calm tone.
II have lost fifty feas that I have
just received from Egypt"
The effect of this intelligence on the
family was nothing in comparison to
the effect the catastrophe had upon
the company before the evening was
over: and the only thing that the
naturalist eaid to his friends in an
.swsr to their congratulations upon
his happy married life, so his daugh.
tiers declared after all was over, was
to ask that II they carried away any
of his Egyptian fleas they would re-
turn the insects to him.

sUMMER FIGHTS.

! Opening of the Season in Good Style
by the Boys.
Saturday afternooB, Bart Dewitt
county attorney, Mayor Callaghan
Recorder Devine aud Nat Lewis, dis.
trict clerk, were in John Brady's ga.
loon, when Gen. Young and Col. Up,
son came in. Mr.. Epson asked Messrs.
Dewitt and Callaghan to sign call
for democratic mass meeting
TO be held on July 4th, which
these gentlemen refused to do.
Lewis then took the paper, hicn con
tanned about three thousand names
of prominent democrats, and tore it
in two. Colonel Upson became IN
dignant at this insult and struck at
Lewis with his cane but hit Recorder
Devine, who interposed, ON the fin.
gers. After some wrangling, peace
was restored.
PROBABLY an hour later Lewis land
ed in VIM. Reuters saloon ON Alamo
plaza. Here Lewis came in con tact
with Captain Lee Hall. who twitched
his nose and ears for him and gave
him good roasting. This occurred
on the outside of the saloon. After
this adventure the sturdy clerk en-.
tered the saloon. where he had
been but short time, when
he iusulted VIM. Campbell, ex-street
commissioner. Here he struck the
wrong man, as Campbell took him
down in style. After this operation
had been performed, Lewis left the
saloon.
Not content with this experience,
which would more than satisfy the
average man, Lewis wendell his way
to Cooley's Register, where his
crooked course ended. At Cooley's he
was politely told, by Officers Seffpl
and Harris, TO keep quiet and O.
home. He became worse anu
informed the former officer that up-
less he went off and left him alone he
would see to having him fired off tn Q
force and sent back at his old trade
again and also give him about three
months in the county jail. This was
more than the poor official could
stand, 80 he arrested the disorderly
clerk and took him to the city jail,
where he brought the charge of drunk |
and disorderly against him. Lewis |
soon gave bond and was let out until
this morning when he appeared be- |
fore Recorder Devine. under the name |
OF Thomas Lawrence, and was fined |
81 for being drunk and disorderly.

Another Alderman Figures on the
Bonds
To the San Antonio LIGHT:


To the San Antonio LIGHT:
Alderman Lockwood, in his recent COM
munication advising the taxpayers to
study City Charter, Section 43, which not
many are so lucky to possess, lays great
Importance on the provision that the
per cent sinking fund provided for the re-
deeming of city bonds shall be invested as
fast as accumulated in U. s. bonds, state
or city bonds, and leaves to the taxpayers
to make the calculation how much it
would be for the proposed S250,000 bonds
for the time of 26 years, investing the
5000 sinking fund OF the S25O,OOO, at the
rate Of per cent per annum. As most of
the taxpayers have no time for Alderman
LockwOod's financial problems, l will
state that the interest at per cent per
annum would make $500 per annum,
or for 30 years Sis, $50: adding the princi-
pal to the 2 per cent sinking fund for 80
years, $50, OOO-S265, $50. apparently sur
plus of Sl5,750 to redeem these bonds,
while we would have paid during the
30 years:
