MIR. Gallup gave over his hunt for

Zone Grand, Sweet Song"

The letter from Mr. Cleveland,
which we publish below, has been
brought to light by the birth of the
Presidents third daughter at Gray
Gables where Mr.. Cleveland and
family have been for some time. 1t
was written to Col. John Temple
Graves, of Georgia, the Southern
orator, in December, 1890. Colonel
Graves has kept the letter in a white
and-gOld frame hanging i'm his par
lor at Manchester. Two years ago
he wrote to President Cleveland for
permission to publish the letter for
its sentiment upon the domestic life
Of the American people. Mr. Cleve-
land, replying, said that although
he had forgotten the verbiage Of the
letter, he left the publication to the
delicacy and discretion" of his
friend. 1t is as follows:
My DEAR MIR. GRAvEs.--We
received the card Of invitation to
your wedding day or two ago. /
am glad that your letter, received
only few hours ago, justifies me,
on behalf of my dear wife and my
self, to do more than to formally
notice the occasion.
And, first of all, let me assure you
how much we appreciate the kind
and touching sentiment you convey
to us in our married state. AS /
look back upon the years that have
passed since God, in His infinite
goodness. bestowed upon me the
best or all His gifts-a loving and
affectionate wife-all else, honor,
the opportunity of usefulness, and
the esteem of my fellow-country-
men are subOrdinated in every sense
to gratitude and thankfulness.
You are not wrong, therefore,
when you claim, in the atmosphere
of fast-coming bliss which now sur
rounds you, kinship with one who
can testify with unreserved tender
ness to the sanctification which
comes to men when Heaven. directed
love leads the way to marriage.
Since this tender theme has made
us kinsmen, let me wish for you and
the dear one who is to make your
life doubly dear to you all the Joy
and happiness vouchsafed to man.
You will, / know, feel that our
Kind wishes can reach no greater
sincerity and force than when my
wife joins in the fervent desire that
you and your bride may enter upon
and enjoy the same felicity which
has made our married life lone
grand, sweet song.'
Truly, your friend,

TIE OTHER LEE.-The visit of
Gen. FitZhugh Lee has started a
story which he told on himself sew
eral years ago, and which is a good
illustration of the love the Confed-
crate soldiers bore toward Gen. Rob
ert r. Lee. As it is we'll known.
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee was at the head
of the cavalry, and these were much
envied by the infantry men, wha
had to walk through the mud and
dust.
After Gen. Robert T.. Lee had
surrendered Gen. Fitzhugh Lee rode
away from Appomattox. While rid
ing through a lane he met an old
North Carolina soldier.
"Ho, there" cried Gen. Lee.
"whore are you going?"
"IVe been off on furlough, and
l am now going back to join Gen.
Bob Lee" replied the old soldier.
You needn't go back, but can
throw your gun away and return
nome, for Lees surrendered"
Lees surrendered 2"
"That's what 1 said," said Gen.
Lee.
1T must have been that d-n
fltz Lee, then. Bob Lee would
never surrender" and the soldier
put on look of contempt and
walked off, Courier journal.

bidding him welcome. And it was
Tom. That was tho funny part of
it.
Come, father" and he led the
old man away to private parlor,
and closed the door. "Don't YOU
know me, father? / should know
you anywhere"
Ies-but it's so strange" gasped
the old man.
Tom laughed good-naturedly.
"Oh! you mean that Pm not
what you expected to find? Well,
hardly-judging from early indica-
tions but, father-I must say itD
and the young mans eyes grew
moist, "all that | am l owe to nv
mother"
"God bless her, Tom," heartily
responded his father. Then, after a
pause, " Can you forgive me my son,
for my harshness ?"
"There is no more for me to for
give than you," returned his son.

learn, and / think l may safely say
now that am an honest man. This
house is mine-and, God willing,

and not disgrace, to the old home" :"
So, after all, Deacon Chandler's
opportunity was wasted one, for
now there was no need of any effort
on his part in his sons case The
opportunity had come to him in his
sons youth, and he had neglected it .
AS it happened, everything had
turned out right, but the chances for
that had been so few, and for an
other and more painful one so many
that he could only thank God that
he had taken into his own hands the
most successful working out of Dea-
con Chandler's opportunity.

WHY GENERAL BUTLER WAS
RELIEvED.--Colonel Woodwork
told some good stories about General
Butler. He said that Butler him
self told him as late as 1854 that no
never knew the real reason why he
was deprived of his military com
mand by General Grant. 1t was
only a few years ago that Wood
worth got the facts from Grants
brother-in-law, Major Dent, who was
the staff officer sent with the order
for Buffers relief. He said that
while no reason was openly given at
the time, Butler was actually dis
placed because he was not a gradu-
ate Of West Point. This would not
appear on the face of it to he suffi-
cicnt cause, but Grant explained it
to Dent one day in the course of 9
confidential interview.
