Woman's Undyinq Love.

Every woman is an aristocrat at
heart and demands homage. Every
woman Ii born with the love of rule.
Every woman Is imperial in her in
stiRcts; no woman is happy until she
has proved her power to rule; no man
js really happy until he has submitted
himself to good woman's rule
Beauty is evanescent. even If it is
loaned to a woman in her youth
which is not always the case-ten, 20
years at the utmost, and it has faded
but the love Of rule never dies out

A War Incident Recalled.

The proposal to mark the graves Of
Confederate soldiers who died in Fed
ersl prisons during the Civil War aud
are buried in cemeteries in the North,
as provided or by resolution intro.
duced in the Senate the other day by
Senator Foraker. recalls pathetic in
cident Of the war period in which a
citizen Of Jefferson county figured.
Mr.. H. T. Miley toward the closing
months of the war was captured and
confined with thousands Of other Con-
federate soldiers at Point Lookout.
The prison authorities, after Mr.. Miley
had been there some time, ordered q
number Of prisoners to be transferred
to Elmira, New York. The uninvit.
ing sanitary conditionsa at Point Look
out made transfer a prize coveted
by nearly all the prisoners. Among
them was a Georgian in failing health,
who prevailed upon Mr.. Miley to
grant him the privilege Of transfer.
To give his suffering comrade an OPP
portunity of betteriug his condition,
Mr.. Miley and the Georgian agreed to
assume each others name. so that when
the name of II. T. Miley was called
for transfer the Georgian responded.
He was on his way to the New York
prison, when becoming suddenly worse,
was left in Baltimore hospital, where
be died. His place of burial is not
known to Mr.. Miley, but the presump-
tion is the body was buried in the
Confederate lot in Loudoun Park Gem
etery, Baltimore. If the Foraker ap.
preparation is passed and the grave
identified, it will be marked by a tab
let bearing the name Of H. T. Miley.
although the real II. T. Milsy is yet

citizens by a reunited country

MAJoR-0ENERAL CHARLES LEE.
BY JOHN d. SUTTON.

An hour and half's drive from
Martinsburg, W. Va, on smooth
limestone turnpike in the great his
toric Shenandoah Valley, will bring
you to Leetown. This village derived
its name from it's founder, General
Charles Lee, who lived there. He
came to America in l773 and purchas-
ed an estate of Jacob Hite and Fran
els, his wife, whose deed bears date
the 18th of November, ITS, and con-
veys 1852 acres in several tracts in
consideration of four thousand FIVE
hundred and four pounds lawful money
of Virginia. The land is described as
"lying on Hopeful, an eastern drain
of the Opequon, one of the lines run
ming with Bullskin path near Big
Spring" Alexander White, Esq, was
given power of attorney to manage
the estate, pay the purchase money
and attend to all matters pertaining
to General Lees affairs.
On this property he built a stone
house for a residence, situated on the
Smithfeld pike, leading from Shep-
herdstown to Winchester, and is about
twelve miles from Shepherdstown and
two miles east of the Opequon river,
and the town contains several dwell
ings, two stores, three churches, a
school house, blacksmith shop, wagon
shop and merchant mill, and through
which the Hopewell branch makes its
way to the Opequon.
The residence of General Lee is
built of rough limestone and lime NOR
tar, such as is commonly used. 1t is
an oblong, one and one-half story high
about fifty feet long by twenty wide.
1t was built in two parts, and most
likely at different times, with walls
about sixteen inches thick; the win
dows are irregular and vary in size
and not on a level with each other.
The castings were once of heavy oak,
evidently hewn by hand, but have
been worn into shreds hardly sufi-
cient to hold the window in place.
He occupied the lower, or right hand
part, of the building, which was a
large room without partitions but laid
off by chalk mark. into different apart
ments, one OF which was assigned to
his dogs, of which he was very fond,
and he named them to show his irrev-
erance after the Trinity, Father, Son
and holy Ghost.
General Lee was born in Cheshire
England, in 1871. His father was a
Colonel in the British army, and bis
son Charles entered the service wher
he was eleven years old. He became
soldier of fortune, fought in Portu'
gal, was on the staff of the King o.
Poland, entered the Russian army
against the Turks and came to Amer
lea as lieutenant in the forty-fourtt
regiment of British regulars, and wa'
with Braddock on the occasion of hi
defeat and death.
He was tall, lank, hollow-cheeked
with discontented expression, in dres'
extremely slovenly, of restless dis
