After Appomatox.

The day after the surrender at Ap-
pomattox, General Lee and several
officers of his staff, as paroled priso-
ners of war, started for Richmond,
accompanied by some Of his staff,
and on the way he stopped at the
house of his eldest brother. Charles
Carter Lee, who lived on the upper
James. The evening he spent in
talking with his brother, but when
bedtime came, through entreated to
take the room and bed prepared for
him, he insisted upon going TO his
old tent, pitched by the roadside,
and passed the nightin his aocustom-
ed army quarters. when he reached
Richmond men, women and children
crowded around him, cheering and
waving hats and handkerchiefs, as if
welcoming a conqueror. He raised
his hat in response to their greetings,
and rode quietly to his house on
Franklin Street, the building now
occupied by the Virginia Historical
.Societys, where my mother and sisters
were anxiously awaiting him. Thus
General Lee returned to that private
family life for which be had always
longed, and became what he always
desirde to be-a peaceful citizen in q
peaceful land.

Two Thousand B~roassards in the
Third District.

A4 ~"
IL anbody can tell the number OF
voters in the Third congressional
district by the name of Broussard.
he will confer a favor on a couple OF
campaign committees and at the same
time greately interest several thou
sand people in the state.
.;Ex-G Governor Murphy j. Foster
and Ex-Lieutenant Governor r. Ell.
Snyder got to discussing the matter
on the Valley train yesterday morn
ing, coming down from Baton Rouge,
but they did not reach any definite
conclusion.
Senator Foster went on through
the city to St. Mary parish, and Ex-
Lieutenant Governor Snyder, of
Tensas, stopped at the Denechaud
Hotel, where, later in the day, the
subject of the number of voting
Broussards in the Third district was
taken up with the Picayune. man.
It is conceded to start on, that
Broussard is one of the biggest, if
not the largest, Creole family in the.
state. Sheriff Ike Broussard, of
Lafayette, a tiny parish, as compared
with others about it, once calculated
tnat there were 400 Broussards on
the tax rolls of that parish, not to
mention the women and children.
He knew them all by name and by
sight, otherwise he would never. have
been able to serve court papers and
the like, for many had the same
initials. Lafayette parish is thick
with Broussards.
Ex-Lieutenant Governor Snyder
says be is not q good oi-hand guess
er, but he believes there are 1000
Brouesards 10 the Third district who
will vote at the coming election, and
who, it is needless TO remark, will
vote for their Creole ~namesake,
Robert F. Broussard, OF New Iberia.
"Speaking of these everlasting big
families observed Ez-Lieutenant
Governor Snyder, remlniscently,' II
recall a case that happened TO me
whileI was in Baton Rouge, as
Lieutenant Governor, Governor
Foster was in Central America at the
time. Someone out in Assumption
parish telephoned in that twas desir-
ed to make Joseph T.. Leblanc O.
member of the police jury from the
fifth ward. l supposed it was all
right and referred the paper 70 the
secretary of state.
t'Upon looking the matter up W
discovered that there was already a
Joseph E. Leblanc 90 that police
jury. Thinking a mistake had been
made, / telephoned back that The
gentleman in question was already a
member of the board, and that it was
not necessary TO appoint him over
"Oh no." came the reply oyer The
