Gen. R. E. Lees Parting with His ssar.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE; I believe
Witnessed the real closing scene Of TIE
great rebellion. / cannot give the exact
date. 1t was when Gen. Lee returned
home from his surrender at Appomattox
and for the last time rode along the
streets Of the Confederate Capital with
his beloved bOdy-guard and staff. I was
at that time in the Provost Marshals De
partment in the City Gf Richmond. and
was passing up the street on which the
Lee mansion stood, when | saw approach
ing me what ] supposed 10 be a body
Of cavalrymen, and checked my horse
and waited,
The company arrived in front Of the
beautiful home Of the brave man. who
had linked his life, fortune and great abll-
ity with a cause that was 'iost cause"
from its first inception, because it was
wrong cause. Instantly rs the column
halted, the General ti:smdUutcd. and as
with one instantaneous impulse, every
man stood beside his horse. There was
but one click of the heel. as ii touched
the hard pavement; and the sound WIS as
though one man had descended from his
charger, instead of Il whole company.
The General. then, with barred head,
shock the hand of each brave man. who
mad passed through many hard conflict
with him: then, ascending the steps To
his manson, slowly waved his hdili III
an eternal farewell and was lest to their
sight forever as the door closed behind
him. The surroundings seemed to par
take of their desolation, as they mounted
their horses and departed for their homes,
many of which lay in ruins from the raw
ages of war; hut no earthly reunion could
bring them all together again as soldier
comrades, as General and staff. That
epoch of their lives was closed. and sealed
with the stamp Failure" and they Were
not wise enough to look down the coming
decades and see that their defeat was
the greatest Of all blessings to their own
rebellious Sunny South"
I then realized more than ever before
that it was the sons Of America that had
hcen pitted against each other ia the great
civil war; that our foes were conquered.
but that their devotion and bravery had
made the victory of the armies Of the
Union victory purchased by precious
blood on both sides, and | silently prayed
that never again might there be an issue
between Americans, where brother should
be pitted against brother in this united,
redeemed Nation of ours.-J y. FEEGU-

A Remarkable Stream.

One of the most remarkable streams in
the United States is Deschutcs River. in
central Oregon. Almost all rivers have
wide extremes in the volume of their flow,
running at flood in the Spring and low
or even dry in the Summer months But
/ Deschutes River widely differs from this
rule and is notable for its remarkably
steady flow throughout :he entire year
Measurements taken over series of
years by the United States Geological
Survey to ascertain the amount Of its flow
have shown that the river discharges an
almost uniform volume OF about 5000 Gu
and Winter flow is very little more than
this, and the Summer very little less.
An explanation for the strange behavior
Of this river is sought in the character Of
the country through which it and its trfb-
utaries flow. The whole region in former
ages was widely Oyerrun by succession
Of great lava flows which are found to
lie separated by other layers of sand and
gravel. 1t is thought that the rain in
stead Of rushing at once to the streams,
sinks into the rich and porous soil. into
which the surface of the lava has dis
integrated, and gradually pcrcoating
down to and into the rock layers, slowly
flows along them to the deep canyons.
which the streams have cut in the lavas.
Thus the horizontal rock layers act as
great storage reservoirs, and keep feed
ing a constant and steady supply of water
TO the streams.
This quality Of steadiness Of flow Is of
the greatest value to DeSchutes River
and will make its wafer powers, of which
a number are notable, and its water sup
ply much sought after when enterprise
and population are ready to use them.

SO hard the travel and so fast q pace did
we set, that we soon began TO drop men
along the route.
BY noon time we had gone about 10
miles and had lost third Of our men, in
Guiding some of the officers. Then the
commander Of the troop came back to re-
quest Maj. Heath to slow mp q little, as
he was killing his ponies trying to keep
the infantry from stepping OH their tails.
The hot pace had been a mistake. The
infantry had been trying to keep up with
the cavalry, and the cavalry had been try
ing TO keep out of the way Of the infantry
and not get run over by the doughbOys.
Therefore Maj. Heath ordered a halt for
dinner Of hardtack, and, there having Eeen
no sign of an enemy, the commander OF
the cavalry troop undertook TO go on
alone, sending n small squad in advance
to scout. In a couple Of hours word came
back that LawtOn's column had been
sighted making its way slowly north and
our mission of rescue had been performed.
Then we started back for NorZagaray.
If the morning tramp had been a hard
one when we were fresh, the afternoon
one was still harder. The sun beat down
with fierce heat, but we pushed on, de-
termined to get back to camp before dark
if possible. / was the rear company and

squad of men seeing what We're the con-
tents of small building that stood on the
opposite bank. There was no boat. and
they had pOled across on a sort of i'm
provised raft, having stripped, but having
taken their revOlvers and belts. When
the firing began the squad made for the
raft and undertook to cross back again
with more speed than their craft pos
sessed with the result that the raft cap
sized and spilled them into the water.
The Sergeant could not swim. but his
companions stayed by him and brought
him safely to shore, less his revolver, and
badly scared at that When he reached
headquarters he was greeted with the
shout:
Vel, if you don't like dose ledt pull

The result of the sudden attack was
that out of the thousands of bullets fired
at the men and animals in the water, not
single man was hit, while two men in
the town above were wounded. This was
the result of the invariahle Filipino Gus
tom Of firing too high.

close call. After forming the company
and reporting for orders, l was told to
keep in readiness for Il call. 1t soon de

Of Minuesotls which had been at once de
tailed for the duty, and ! was ordered to
dismiss my company, but to keep them
under cover from the flying bullets. One
man received permission to go to the hut

he had not gone 30 feet when there was Il
terrible clattcr in clump of bamboo h"
was passing and his hat flew off his head
and fell TO the ground 10 feet away. We
thought he had been hit, but he stopped
to pick up his hat and then showed it
with the entire Montana peal, shot out of
it, making hole big enough to accommo
date both fists.
Some Of the boys who We're arrayed in
the Scotch costume were given permission
to go down to the bank and join in the
fighting long enough to get possession of
their clothing. which they finally succccd-
ed in doing. though it was 4 full hour be

through the woods. Late that afternoon
Lawton arrived and we were ready for an
advance the next day. which we kept up

Pillar, the General who was killed while
commanding Aguinaldo's body-guard when
he was so closely pressed in the mountains
to the north some six months later.

dered 70 take n tramp over hills and by
uncertain trails in search of Lawton.
Therefore we started.
The order of our march was the troop
in advance and doing the necessary ad-
vance work, with the battalion on foot at
its heels. The day was 4 scorcher, right in
the very hottest part of the hot season.
The trail led at first through tangled IN
derbrush along the bottom lands, and then
ran up a steep bank to the highlands
above and then up and doTn over the
hills.
We were on the same trail Lawton was
following some 30 miles south of us, and
we had not gone far before we were pret-
ty well convinced we knew why he was
not on time. The nature of the trail was
sufficient explanation. But our orders
were to go as far as we could to meet
him and get back the same day. and so
we pushed on. So intense was the heat,

Make q Deal
Subscribers
Advertising.

The very best premium we give is sub !
scribers' advertising. Make a 50, SO or
$50 deal for coupons and guesses and take
an equal amount of advertising. The use
Of this advertising may develop a good
business, widely extended.
Write the substance of what yOn de
sire to say, and we will put it in shape.
Following are a few hints TO those who
could use subscribers advertising col
umns TO advantage:
A soldier wanting addresses of officers
or comrades;
A g. A. Il. officer desiring to see the
last Post elections reported in full;
A farmer with seeds for sale;
A nurseryman with trees for sale;
A fancier with birds and eggs for sale;
a breeder with fne stock for sale;
A real estate dealer, a pension attorney,
a bookseler-all would find business in
subscribers advertising columns;
4 merchant in any line, who is a com
rade, can get up a trade with comrades;
Cl0thiers, hatters, harness-makers, op-
ticians, jewellers, printers, druggists, fur
niture dealers and manufacturers, hard
ware and stove dealers-alI do business
by mail. Try it if you are in one of these
lines.
Artists, lawyers and experts generally
can secure patronage from comrades if
they viii advertise.
An employee who is romrade or son
Of comrade can probably get a better
place By advertising for it.
Have you Il patent? Ask comrades to
buy it or develop it.
Can you make soap? Put up an honest
old soldier soap, and sell it by the box
through subscribers advertising columns.
Put up canned goods, and sell on honor
as 10 quality to comrades.
Have You an orchard with the annual
great waste of fine fruit? Pick it care
fully. put up in barrels, and sell to com
rades. Fine business can be made of this.
Have you vineyard? Make a good.
sound wine, and sell 10 comrades by the
barrel or case Of bottles.
Aic yOu a photographer: Make a spe-
claiiy of enlarginG pictures for comrades
or their families.
iheIe are 4 hundred other hints that

fell on 81 ,Sl9, 900. This net loss OF cash.
Notwithstanding the large traceahle re-

be accounted for on the theory of
averages. and therefore the loss is
somewhat inexplicable. IL seems al
most certain, however. that. consid-
erlng the fact that receipts were largest

were better supplied with cash than
