HONOR FOR GENERAL LEE,
The Gallant Ex-Confedsrato Omcar to Com
msad the virginia Volunteers.

The president has decided to give
Consul General Lee the command
Of the Virginia volunteers in the
event that hostilities break out be-
tween this country and Spain. says
a Washington correspondent of the
New York World. This decision
was reached after conference with
Secretary Alger and q number Of
military men.
The matter was FIRST preached
by . friend Of the president who
suggested that il would be a good
plan to give General Lee q command
of come sort in case of war. The
president consulted with several
friends, who advised him that it
would be impossible to appoint him
to a command in the regular army.
The president. who is a staunch
admirer of General Lee was nom
plussed. Finally the announcement
was made from the war department
that in event that volunteers were
called for the president would ap-
point all officers Of the rank OF
colonel and above and officers under
that would be appointed by the
various states FROM which the VOL
unteers were received.
When the call is issued, Virginia,
General Lees state, will furnish her
quota and the president will desig-
nate General Leo az the commander
OF the forces from the Old Dominion.
Owing to General Lees great knowl-
edge of the topography Of the island
of Cuba it il more than likely that
his command will be given orders
TO At once proceed to Cuba. Gen
sral Lee has announced his willing.
ness to return to Havana at the
head of an invading army and
doubtless he will be allowed to 60
upon the outbreak of hostilities.

which the president may appoint

to say on fusion: LET others say

Taste for Apples.

The superabundance of the apple
crop last year has had one good result
for the future of the orchardist. 1t rem
dered apples so cheap that the con
sumption was greater than ever before
A taste Of this kind, once stimulated,
generally continues; consequently the
demand will be larger in seasons to
come than 1t has been hitherto. This
year apples have been in Philadelphia
markets the whole year through. Last
years supply of late varieties, such as
the Baldwin, had scarcely disappeared
before the Russian variety, Tetoffsky,
came in from Virginia. These. of
course, will be followed by better
kinds.-Mehan's Monthly.

From the North of England this
enormous bell, weighing sixteen tons,
was conveyed to London by sea, where
it had, on a small scale, almost as ad-
venturous a passage as the Egyptian
obelisk which now graces the Thames

ing rung, as was customary for q short
time at 1 o'clock on Saturdays, 1t was
noticed that it had q cracked, uncer-

On a minute examination with a
lighted candle a crack was discovered
to extend from the rim about half way
up the side. The catastrophe to an in
strunent wnlcn cost t3,o43 ralied the
question as to who was to pay for re.
casting it. The founders repudiated
responsibility, declaring that too heavy
clapper DIT weighing II cwt) had been
used. The authorities, however placed
on record that it was porous, unhomo-
geneous, unsound, and defective cast
