For years past, writes G. w. Christ

general Of both the Northern and
Southern armies with whom | have

onal signature, what he considered the
funniest and also the saddest incident
hat had come under his observation

'equest was kindly complied with in
learly every instance, and It was thus
hat the appended symposium was OBJ
aimed.
General Lees Story.
MANY Of the most beautiful and pa
hetic incidents Of the war occurred
liter it was all over. At a hotel in
Washington in 1868 a gentleman whose

reduced himself and asked permission
present me to his mother, singu-
arly beautiful old lady of queenly and
lignified bearing, to whom he said.
Mother, let me present to you Gen. II.
.. Lee, Of the late Confederate army,
whose saber thrust gave me this scar
IN my right cheek, and who bears the
mark of wound I gave him. The
beautiful old lady threw her arms
lround my neck and wept on my Shout
Ter, and in that tender embrace and

hand and mine we buried the animosi-
les of the war forever"
From Admiral Porter.

governess young Southern girl Of
great beauty and refinement. AS

Captain-in hand-to-hand fight, hav-

to her parent, and by his miniature,
which she wore around her neck, and
asked her forgiveness. L have nothing
to forgive she answered. You only
lid your duty, and If you deprived me

With one supreme effort the Colonel
placed her hand in that of his wife,

The Fidelity and Accident lns. Co.

1t has been the purpose of this COM
pany to make it's policies Of insurance
cover as many of the unprovided-for
contingencies of life as a careful and
conservative course would warrant.
This purpose broadly undertaken and
literally pursued has placed the com.
pany in a leading position in casualty
insurance. Some time ago they added
a health feature to their accident
policies which, though limited in it's
scope, was welcomed by the public.
Its reception has led them to believe
that a more extended health feature
will be appreciated. and they now offer
a combined health and accident policy.
which they claim is much more liberal
in its provisions for Indemnity than
any heretofore placed before the
public

Will. you, kindly allow me little
space in your valuable paper to air a
few opinions in relation to the track
Of the electric road through State
street? say put the track in the mid
die of the street where it belongs, and
leave the question Of removing the
snow in the winter to some future
commission (perhaps the Paris COM
mission would consent to acD. That
is a small lmatter when We consider
that a new street would otherwise be
forever marred. Another thing, learn
that 1t is intended to make a sidewalk
10 or IL feet wide on the east side ami
lay the track on the outer edge. Well
who would. in that case. clear the
snow off the sidewalk that the electric
road ploughed off their road? Besides
this. how would anyone know which
was the road and which was the side
walk? If you call 1t sidewalk and
the cars were allowed to run on ii.
could we consistently keep off wheels?
Reader, let us insist that the electric
road be placed in the middle of tbs

A number more Of the sick men were

ANNUAL BANQUET.

Commercial Travelels' Association Hold
Their Midwinter Banquet at the Tontine
Hotel-Prominent Citizens Present.
The annual midwinter banquet of the
Commercial Travellers association was held
at Whites new Tontine last night. Pre-
yious to the banquet the annual meeting
was held, at which the following officers
We're reelected: President, John Il. Nc
Partland; vice president, r. z. Chaplin Of
Hartford; secretary and treasurer, L. H.
Bates of New Haven. About 100 members
and their guests sat down to the banquet.
After cigars had been lighted, President
Mcfarland in a short speech introduced
MIR. Frank G. Bushnell as POSTMASTER. His
speech in acceptance of the office was in
part as follows
II regret that am not a commercial trav-
eler, and to say that l am glad to be with
the travellers tonight Is but putting II
mildly" During his speech he related a
number of his experiences when he was
first on the road as a drummer thirty years
ago. II am reminded of an old story told
thirty years ago, when l was boy, by an
old drummer who gave this advice to an
other drummer Say as little as you can
and you will have less to remember when
you come around next time" Mr.. Bush
nell said the moral of this was obvious. He
then introduced as the first speaker His
Honor, the Mayor, Z. .. Farnsworth.
Mayor Farnsworth thanked the conyen.
ton for the invitation to be present and re-
lated number of stories, and closed by
saying that the members had the key to the
city and hoped they would enjoy theis
visit here.
The next speaker was General George III
Ford president of the Chamber of Com.
| merce, who made a short address full OF
humor, which much pleased the audience
He was followed by Frank Cowles. the
first president of the association. He re
lated the early history of the association
and told of the many hardships he had il,
