General Lee had signed the answer. Colonel
Parker handed TO me General Grants let
ter and 1 handed TO him General Lees re-
ply, and the work was done. Some further
conversation of general nature took
place, in the course of which General Grant
said 10 General Lee that he had come to the
meeting as he was and without his sword,
because he did not wish to detain General
Lee until he could send back TO his wagons,
which were several miles away. This was
the only reference made by any one TO the
subject Of dress on that occasion.
General Lee had prepared himself for the
meeting with more than usual care. and
was in full uniform, wearing a very hand
some sword and sash. This was doubtless
the reason for General Grants reference to
himself.
At last General Lee took leave of Cen
eral Grant, saying that he would return
10 his Headquarters and designate the
officers who were to act on our side in
arranging the details of the surrender.
We mounted our horses, which the order
ly was holding in the yard, and rode

taken place and the causes that had rem
dered the surrender necessary.
Great emotion was manifested by Of
ficers and men, but love and sympathy
for their commander mastered every other
feeling.
According to the report of the chief of
ordnance, less than 5000 armed men sur
rendered. exclusive of cavalry. The others

RECOVERY FROM WAR.
Speedy Rehabilitation of South Africa
May BE Expected.
Butte Inter Mountain.


The recovery of South Africa, and the
Transvaal in particular, from the effects
of the war may be predicted from what has
taken place in China since the close of the
war there in 1900 1t may seem somewhat
surprising, but we have the evidence of the
eign trade of the empire was larger in the
year following the war than Il ever had
been in any previous year.
1t is somewhat confusing and unsatisfy-
ing 10 attempt to get an understanding out
of these reports until we reduce the vari-
Gus amounts from "taels' to plain dollars
and cents. In 1900 China purchased mer-
chandse from other countries to the value
OF 1898 600, as compared with $1S7 600 900
in 1899 $144 0O0, 900 in 1897 and S116 600 900 in
1894. These figures show a surprising and
gratifying increase in the trade of the en-
pire. which is still further shown in the ex-
ports for 1901, which amounted to $122, 600,
600. This is the largest export record Of any
previous year, with the one exception of
1899.
What is particularly interesting to the
Pacific slope in this connection is the
largely increased business which China is
doing with the United States since the
close OF the war. The business of the en-
pire with this country is increasing very
much more rapidly than with any other
nation and promises to grow with even
greater rapidity, for the demand of the
Chinese Is particularly for American-made
goods. Our foodstuffs are also in great
favor there. 1t is interesting fact that
the Chinese are now eating large quantities
of American wheat instead of their own
rice to which il has been supposed that
pears that the Chinese appetite knows a
good thing when it encounters il.
Therefore If the recovery of China NAV
be taken as a criterion, we may confidently
expect quick action on the part of South
Africa in realizing from her mines and
other rich resources.

QUEER WORD TWISTING.
Prof. SpOoner, of Oxford, and His
Troubles with Language.
New York Press

There are two Spooners, our own
Badger Spooner. of Wisconsin, and the
Rev. DR.. Professor William Archibald
Spooner Of Oxford University. and both
are guilty Of some famous "Spoonerisms. >"
My old friend William Braddon, of No. 2SS
William street, knows the professor very
well, and tells some funny stories of that
eccentric genius, whose fame as a ludi-
crous word twister has spread all over
Europe. When he gave out in chapel the
first line of the missionary hymn, From
Greenlands Icy Mountains" he contorted
it thus: From Iceland's greasy noun
tains." Another hymn he announced as
'Kinkering Kongs their titles take" At
a special service seeing some women
standing at the back of the church wait
ing to be seated, he rushed down the aisle
and addressed the ushers as follows: Gen
tlemen, gentlemen, sew these ladies into
their sheets" Being asked at dinner what
fruit he would have he promptly replied
Pigs. fleas."
Professor Spooner, who has the respect
of all England, is apparently quite uncon-
sciOus of these remarkable transpositions
This is the way in which he proposed to
his wife: Being one afternoon at the home
n,
Carlisle, Mrs. Goodwin said: Mr.. Spooner
will you please go out into the garden and
ask Miss Goodwin if she will come in and
make tea?" The professor, on finding the
young lady, said: Miss Goodwin, your
mother told me to ask you if you would
come in and take me-"
An undergraduate was up before Profess

neglecting his studies and constantly being
absent from lectures. Regarding him stern

your parents money and imperiling your
future career? You have now tasted two

up from oxford TO London one day, the
guard, who knew him well. asked what
luggage he had. "Oh, two rags and a bug"

the jubilee celebration of Queen Victoria s
