Grant After the Surrender.

General Horace Porter, in his ''Cam-
paigning with Grant" in the October
Century, describes the surrender at
Appomattox. General Porter says:
Before parting, Lee asked Grant to
notify Meade of the surrender, fearing
that fighting might break out on that
front, and lives be uselessly lost. This
request was complied with, and two
Union officers were sent through the
enemy's lines as the shortest route to
Meade, some of Lees officers accom-
panying them to prevent their being
interfered with. A little before clock
General Lee shook hands with General
Grant, bowed to the other officers, and
with Colonel Marshall left the rOOm-
One afte.' another we followed and
passed out to the porch. Lee signaled
to his orderly to bring up his horse,
and while the animal was being bridled
the General stood on the lowest step,
and gazed sadly in the direction of the
valley beyond, where his army lay
now an army of prisoners. He thrice
smate the palm Of his left hand slowly
with his right fist in an absent sort Of
way, seemed not to see the group Of
Union officers in the yard, who rose
respectfully at his approach, and APP
peared unaware of everything about
him. All appreciated the sadness that
overwhelmed him, and he had the per-
sonal sympathy Of every one who be-
held him at this supreme moment OF
trial. The approach Of his horse SEEM
ed TO recall him from his reverie, and
he at once mounted. General Grant
now stepped down from the porch,
moved toward him, and saluted him
by raising his hat. He was followed
in this act Of courtesy by all our officers
present. Lee raised his hat respectfully
and rode of ut slow trot to break the
sad news to the brave fellows whom ne
had 50 long commanded.
General Grant and his staff then
started for the headquarters camp,
which, in the meantime, had been
pitched nearby. The news Of the sur
render had reached the Union lines,
and the firing Of salutes began at sew
eral points. but the General sent an or
der at once to have them stopped, using
these words: The war is over the
rebels are our eOuntrymen again; and
the best sign of rejoicing after the VIC
tory will be TO abstain from all demon
stratiOns in the field" This was in
keeping with his order issued after the
surrender of Vieksburg ''The paroled
prisoners will be sent out of here to-
morrow. Instruct the COM
manders to be orderly and quiet as
these prisoners pass, and to make no
offensive remarks"

A Flavor From Leaves.

An interesting discovery by Jae-
quemin is that the leaves of fruit trees,
having themselves no marked flavor,
may develop decided bouquet of fruit
in solutions undergoing alcoholic fer
mentation, says the indianapolis Jour-
nal. Pear and apple leaves, for instance,
placed in l0-per-cent. solution ofsugar,
with the addition of pure yeast, inn
parted to the fcrmented product a
strong odOr and excellent flavor, which
became even more marked in alcoholic
distillate. A similar effect was had
with leaves of the grape vine. Leaves
from trees having fruits near maturity
gave the most decided results, from
which is drawn the important inference
that fruit havors are due to body, pos
sibly glucosidal in character, elaborated
in the leaves and transferred to the
fruit only as the latter approaches mat
urity, developing distinctive fiavors
when acted on by the special ferments
of the fruit juices.

An Unwilling Candidate.

George Kinney, Of Fremont, was
nominated for Circuit Judge by the
Democracy. He publicly declined the
nomination, declaring that he was in
favor of the Republican candidate. The
secretary of State has notified the board
Of election to put Mr.. Kinney's name
on the Democratic ticket. So he will
be voted for, although he has positively
declined nomination. There must be
something wrong about the Australian
ballot system if the action Of the secre-
tary of State in this case is in strict har-
mOay with the law. A man is not
compelled to be candidate for Office
nowadays, and running for Office to
most men is getting to be good deal of
a nuisance. There is no credit in it, no
comfort in it, no profit in nit-Sandusky

Sleep After Eating.


Advocates of the after-dinner nap
have powerful, and to them all con-
vincing, argument liz the fact that
most animals sleep Immediately after
eating. Yet the propriety of such a
habit among human beings bids fair to
be an open question for some time to
come.
One authority has recently added his
mite to the collection of statistics upon
this interesting subject by making
series of experiments upon two persons
of normal digestive abilities.
The stomachs of these two persons
We're emptied few hours after meals,
some of which had been followed by
sleep and others not, and contents ana
lyzed.
The normal stomach acts upon its
contents by churning them about, and
in this manner subjecting every particle
to the action of the digestive fluids.
The above mentioned Investigator
found, as the result of his experiments,
that the constant effect of sleep is to
=eaken the churning movements Of
the stomach, while the acid quality
of the digestive juices is at same time
increased.
On the other hand he found-what
is quite as interesting-that simple re-
pose in a horizontal position stimulated
the motions of the stomach without in
creasing the aeidity of its juices.
The conclusion reached by this ex-
perimenter was that while a recumbent
position after eating is not to beregarded
as harmful, but in the majority of cases
as beneficial, one should be cautious
about sleeping directly after meal.
Especially skc.-ld this caution be OBJ
served in cases where the stomach is
naturally weak, or where there is an
over acidity of the digestive fluids.
When all is said, however, the above
experiment proves little more than that
in such matters each person is u law
unto himself; that the after-dinner nap
differs in no respect from other habits,
which can be INDUCED in with i'm
punity by some, while they work havoc
with the health and happines of others.
Rest after eating is certainly beneficial,
both from rational and a physiological
standpoint. Whether sleep can be ad-
vantageously INDUCED in is a question
that must be determined by the in
dividual himself by careful experiment.

WASHINGTON, May 19.-Cuba again
occupied the foreground in the senate.
1t drew large crowds to the galleries,
and brought two notable speeches, the
one by Mr.. Mason of Illinois in favor of
the Morgan resolution and the other by
Mr.. Hoar of Massachusetts, in opposition

The Illinois senator pictured in fervid
terms the distress in Cuba, dwelling
particularly on the starving condition Of
600 United States citizens, as reported
by the president, and called upon the
senate to throw off its lethargy and pass
the Morgan resolution. Mr. Mason had
several sharp tits with Mr.. Wellington
of Maryland, the latter protesting that
He Was Being Misrepresented.
1t led to considerable connection in the
galleries, during which Mr.. Wellington
declared that he could not be choked off
by the rudeness of the galleries.
MIR. Hoar spoke in his usual calm and
dignifed style and took occasion to de-
ride buncombe appeals to constituents
and braggadocio as to our national
strength. Mr.. Hoar's criticisms, al
Though impersonal, were clearly aimed
at Mr.. Mason. Senators Gallinger of
New Hampshire and Hawley of Con-
mecticut also spoke, the former for the
sresolution and the latter urging that the
United States should not rush into war
while our coast defenses are manifestly
s6nadeuuate.

without examination only within one
year from the time of their removal
from the service.
I Q. The exception from examination
of all chiefs of divisions, superintendent

sets the example, which will bring into
