GRANTS MAGNANIMITY.
His Splendid Conduct at Appomattox
Won Approval of North and South.

All Americans can take pride in
what Appomattox day represents
Bringing to a close the most gigantic
of civil wars, the victorious general
added luster to his laurels- by the I'M
exampled magnanimity of the terms
granted to the defeated leaders and
soldiers of the four years struggle
against the union.
Grant, at Appomattox, set the pace
which was followed by the whole
American people in all of its dealings
with the confederates in the day of
triumph on one hand and submission
to the power of arms on the other
The world had never seen, before,
says the Chicago Journal, such Glenn
ency as was extended by the United
States government in 1865 to those
who had fought for years in rebel
lion against the authority, the spirit
and the flag of united nationality.
Grants example, warmly seconded
by President Lincoln, began the heal
ing of the wounds of war before the
spring grass had grown upon the
graves of the latest victims of the con-
1ict between the states.
When Grant stood to receive Lees
sword, and with unassuming chivalry
weapon, and told him to send his men
home with the horses they would need
for the work of peace, there had been
hard fighting and hard marching and
fearful suffering and loss.
Petersburg had fallen on the I'd of
April, Richmond on the Sd, and Lee
had fed towards Lynchburg. Grant
followed him with relentless energy,
striking blow after blow while he
rushed troops out to surround the
confederates, and on the 9th Lee sur
rendered with $1,000 men, all that re-
manned of his army
Within ten days." says Grants BIZ
ographer, Adam Badeau, Grant had
captured Petersburg and Richmond
fought, by his subordinates, the bat
ties of Five Forks and Sailors Greek,
besides nuerous smaller ones, cap
tured 20, 600 men in actual BATTLE and
now he received the surrender of the
remnant of Lees army of 10000 sol
diers-
1t is not surprising that the whole
nation joined in a roar of applause
when of Grant the homeIy yet telling
verse was written.
IF You ask me where he comes from,
My sole reply shall be-
He halls from Appomaftox

BORE a CHARMED LIFE.
Many Hair-Breadth. Escapes of ar
Old Ex-confederate Soldier

There resides here an old ex-Con-
feredate soldier who can perhaps
boast of having seen more genuine
service, escaping without a scratch,
than any other devotee of the lost
cause" in the state, writes a Nash
vile, Tenn, correspondent of the In
ter Ocean This is s. p Taylor, who
is yet hale and hearty and bids fair
to pass many more milestones on
life's highway. When in laxative
mood there is nothing he enjoys bet
ter than relating some of his hair
breadth escapes while doing service
for his country, and he is certainly
an interesting character.
At the battle of New Hope church
Mr.. Taylor was assigned to picket
duty, and it was then that he had his
closest calf. In speaking of the Incl
dent he said:
81 went on picket duty in the mar
row ravine just before daylight The
enemy was encamped on top of a hill
opposite our breast works and my po-
sition was exactly between the two
armies. About o'clock a picket was
sent out from the Yankee army and he
sat down on log in plain view of me
only a short distance away. I had
full cartridge box (forty rounds) and I
began to shoot at him, but being I'M
able to see me he did not return the
fire. He soon fell off the log on my
side and his comrades made an at
tempt to rescue him, and my attempts
to keep them away divulged my place
of concealment- The Yankees began
shooting at me, and by noon 1 had
counted eighteen bullets that struck
the little oak tree behind which
was concealed. With an empty cart

a SOLDIERS TRIBUTE.
Old Soldier Erects Monument to Mem
Dry Of His Old Commanders

There was a quiet yet impressive
ceremony not long ago at Arlington
cemetery, the resting place of the hon
ored dead near Washington, d. c.,
when the monument to the memory of
Maj James Stewart, who commanded
the famous Battery B, Fourth United
States artillery, was dedicated
The monument was erected by
Charles H. Mcconnell, of Chicago, to
the memory of his old commander.
Maj. Stewart succeeded Gen John
Gibbon as commander of Battery B,
when Gibbon was promoted to the
command of the Iron brigade. 1t was
when it was under the superb train
ing of Gibbon that the brigade re-
ceived its historic name.
Maj. Stewart. born in Scotland, but
coming as a boy to America, enlisted
as private in the battery he after
ward commanded, October 20, 1851,
and he was rapidly promoted, enter
ing the civil war as second lieutenant
of his battery.
At the end of the war he was a
brevet major, having won the honor
for gallant and meritorious conduct
in the battle of Weldon railroad. He
remained in the regular service and
was retired as major April %, 1904.
His recent death was mourned by
all who ever came in contact with
this typical soldier and gentleman, and
especially by all who, either in the
volunteer or regular service, served
under him. One of his civil war COM
rades relates that at the latest Iron
brigade banquet Maj. Stewart, sitting
at table, was asked if he could keep
his front clear His reply was as in
the old days when his battery was in
requisition, that he would do his very
best, And, as of old, it was done.
Gen. Edward S. Bragg, one time
commander of the Iron brigade, and
Gen. w. w. Dudley, also of the same
command during the war, were pres
ent at the unwilling of the modest but
beautiful monument in Stewards
honor.
Jack" Cook, who was a bugler I'M
der Stewart, and others of the days of
war, were there when the son of the
gallant soldier unveiled the memorial
stone. Stewards widow and daughter
were present, with perhaps 100 distin-
guished men and women from the cap
ital and from other parts of the coun-
try assembled to do honor to one who
was entitled to more than he ever
claimed or received in the way of pub
lie honors and awards.
The raising and dedication of this
monument has special significance, as
it is a tribute from one soldier to an
other, writes Ada C. Sweet in Chicago
Journal. A mark of real and lasting
love and respect, such as could, per-
haps, be originated in no country of
the world other than our own, where
the citizen soldier is unique, both in
what he accomplishes and in his re-
gard and appreciation of his superior
officers, whether of the volunteer or
the regular service.

your playmates at an afternoon OF
evening company, says the Brooklyn
Citizen. 1t is done in this way:
Your hands are placed in a child's
shoes, after which you must rest
your hands on the table. They will
have the appearance of. real feet
Put bonnet on your head, shawl
over your shoulders and a child's
petticoat to cover your arms. Now
your friend stands behind you, con-
cealed by the curtains. She thrusts
her arms out on each side of your
body, giving the dwarf the missing
arms and hands. If your friend IS
original, she can make all sorts of
funny gestures, while you recite,
sing songs and see what fun it is and
how easy it is to work.

on me / decided to make run for the
breastworks which were located on
top of the opposite hill. There was
comparatively no growth on the hill
side, it having been cleared up, and
there was a full 200 yards to run in
plain view of the Yankees. But had
to go, and tying my shoes good and
tight, I made dash for cover. l had

entire force began shooting at me and

NAMED until the fighting was again
renewed"
Mr.. Taylor states that the fighting
was almost constant from Chattanooga
to Atlanta and was perhaps the hard
est campaign of the entire war. Dur
Ing his service there was but one oc-
casion when he was not right up with
the flag, and at that time he was worn
out from the effects of a long march
and was compelled to drop behind
However, after nights rest he re-
5umed his accustomed place at the
front On one occasion he was on
scout duty and forestalled a movement
of the Federal army to flank the Con-
federates. Upon another he relates
the misery of fear on the part of two
of his companions who had been CON
scripted. Speaking of this incident,
he said.
They were placed on my picket
line next to me and we were in the
woods, Yankees and all, and about 800
yards from their line The Yankees
were endeavoring to make it appear
that they were going to charge all
during the day, but they were in fact
moving to our rear, but we entertain
ed them from behind the logs and
trees and held them apparently at bay
The conscripts were behind trees and
my companion, one John Parker, and
/ would shoot at the enemy from be-
hind large log and the Yanks would
reply with a volley, badly frightening
the conscripts, who begged piteously
for us not to fire again and who seem

them to put little more distance be
tween themselves and the Yankee bull
let's. They aroused my sympathy by
their cowardice-r

YALE REGATTA
TO BE HELD THIS, YEAR AT NEW
HAVEN HARBoR.

New Haven, May 10.-After some
consideration, Lake Whitney was alb
andoned as the place for Yale's Spring
Regatta, and New Haven Harbor was
chosen as the place for holding the
Regatta, and accordingly it will taks
place here tomorrow. The crew gain
ed considerable advantage by the new
arrangement. 1t has been considered
of late, that by going to Lake Whit
ney, the varsity crew is put back in
its development ten days or wo weeks.
This year the crew situation is ex-
tremely critical, and owing to the late
ness of the season the poor material
and the bad luck which so far has at
tended the crews efforts, coach Ken
nedy has felt it necessary to sacrifice
everything to the Varsity crew. An
other reason for the selection of the
harbor this year is that the author
tiles wish to try out the harbor as a
suitable place for the Regatta. The
boathouse is to be built here next
year and more class crews can be ac-
commodated.
