A Renaissance of Gen. r. E. Lee.

"Gen. Robert E. Lee once told me OF
an ovation he received that touched
him more than any demonstration ever
made in his honor" said the venera BILE
Judge White of Virginia, to a Post man
at the National. Following closely on
the surrender of the Southern army,
the commander in-chief of the Confed
eracy went to pass season at the home
of his particular friend, E. r. Cooke,
who last November ran as the Populist
candidate for governor against Col. o.
Ferrall. After a few weeks of the most
hospitable and elegant entertainment,
Gen. Lee was called to the presidency
of the Washington and Lee university
Bidding his kind friends adieu he
started for Lexington on horseback
and alone. He had gone some miles
and was passing through a rather
dreary stretch of wooded country,
when he espied plain old countryman
mounted on sorry nag coming toward
him. AS they passed each other both
bowed, as is the fashion when strangers
meet in out of the way places, but the
old farmer in the homespun suit star
ed hard at the soldierly figure as
though not quite certain of recogni-
ton. He went his way little further,
then turning his horse around, canter-
ed back and soon came up with the
General again.
81 beg pardon, sir, but is not this
Gen. Robert E. Lee?'
Eyes, am Gen. Lee. Did ever meet
you before, my friend ~
"Then the old Confederate grasped
the chieftains hand and with the tears
streaming down his face said: General
Lee, do you mind if 1 cheer your The
General assured him that he didn't
mind, and there on that lonesome pine
bordered highway, with no one else in
sight, the old rebel veteran with swing
ing hat, lifted up his voice in three
ringing rounds of hurrahs for the man
that the Southland idolized. Then
both went their way without another
word being spoken" y Washington
