\ curious Incident OF the closing
scenes of the American Civil War is
related by correspondent of st.
Louis newspaper After General
Grant had received General Lees
terms of surrender at Appomattox and
accepted them, some one-not General
Grant ordered the firing of salute
of one hundred guns in token of vie
tory. The salute General Grant quick
~ stopped, as he wished that every
means should be taken to spare the
Scnsihilities of the brave men who had
surrendered The proceedings went
on quietly, aud the surrender was
completed. All was over, and peace
had succeeded war, when strange
and irregular fusillade of musketry
was heard from the field of battle
More than that. the air about the field
was filled with whiStling bullets. What
had caused rc-opening of hostilties?
Simply this-the muskcts OF the Con
federate soldiers had been allowed TO
remain stacked ON the field. So sud
denly had the lighting ceased on the

some way the dry spring grass ON the
field caught fire, and the blaze ran
amongst the stacked guns. They We're
heated 10 the point OF explosion. and
soon the fusillade began. Most of the
pieces We're pointed upwards, and the
bullets rose until their force was spent.
and then fell upon the ground. Others
were pointed at an angle. and sent thelI
bullets far On that spot the ground Is
to this day strewn with bullets. and any
one may pick them up who will. This
was the only salute which celebrated
the surrender Of Lee.

In the present state OF our strained
relations with Spain 1t Is unlikely that
Congress will refuse TO make the ap
preparation of S1o,000,000 for coast de
fences and the reorganization of the
artillery branch OF the army which Sec
rotary Lamont will ask for In his an.
nual report. If Spain comes 10 her
senses and grants independence TO Gu

be fatuous TO hold that war is I'M
probable ut this juncture. But assum'
ing that there will be none, the expert
ence we have had with Spain during
the hostilities In Cuba should be n
powerful object lesson to those milk
nnd-water philosophers who have been
in the habit of pooh-poohing the posi-
