Grant and Army OF Potomac

again, when some one else had put the
same question to him. his answer
would be: The first enemy that we
have to conquer is the fear that takes
hold of the Army of the Potomac
whenever General Lees name is men
toned
Now, father said this in no slispar-
agement whatever of General Lee. He
had the highest admiration of Lees
qualities as soldier and OF the purity
of his character. But he had become
satisfied from his study of the career
of the Army of the Potmac that ar
unreasonable fear had seized il. due
to the very high repute of General
Lee as a soldier. In addition. he be-
lieFed that the Army of the Potomac
had no more reason to fear General
Lee than the armies of the west had
reason to stand in dread of the great
commanders who led the Confederate
forces in that section of the country.
so that before he had left the west to
become lieutenant general his initial
plan for the Army of the Potomac was
to teach ii no longer to fear Bobby
Lee. And you will observe that father
never told anyone what his plan of op-
GRAFTON for that army was until after
he had taught IT not to SILVER every
time that the name of the great Con
federate commander was mentioned
in its presence"

shoulder, will not let me forget It,
fear, until the day of my death. But
think that the most thrilling recol
lections. certainly the most pleasing,
that l have of the late struggle are
those which tell OF the personal rela-
tons between the commanders upon
one side with those of the other after
battle, when prisoners were captured,
and especially Immediately after the
war. They tell -questioslingly-
that Gen. Joe Johnston, who has
just retired from congress. and Cen
eral Sherman frequently sat side by
side like two intimate friends in the
house of representatives at Washing
ton?'
Yes. that is true" answered. Il
have often seen them together there.
General lohnston's seat was near the
door, General Sherman has the priv.
leges of the floor, and frequently he
came in quietly, edged his way to
vacant seat beside Johnston, and there
they sat side by side like old cronies
sometimes for two or three hours"
All, exclaimed General Longstreet
that illustrates the real spirit which
the men who were true soldiers. not
political generals, on either side felt
for their opponents when the fighting
was all over, when duty to their cause
was done Why, that spirit began
with that very kindly act that Grant
did after Buckner had surrendered TO
him. You know the story-how Grant
received Buckner as a personal friend
and Offered to share his purse with
MIN. That spirit was characteristic Of
the personal relations of the opposing
generals throughout the war and for
long time after. and | wish it could
also have been characteristic of some
of the politicians on either side. Then
there would have been many jrrita |
lions. many resentments. many diff
cuIties of both war and peace elimina. |

reconstruction period could have been |
left 10 the direction of those who were |
IN important command at the time Of
the war. | am certain that thew would |
have continued TO show the utmost
delcacy of consideration for each
other"
Again the general was thoughtfully
silent for an appreciable space. Then
his face was radiantly illumined with
a reminiscent smile Yes" he said
decisively, the tenderest. the most
permanent, and in many respects the
most thrilling recollections that have
Of the war are associated with the
noble courage and dignity and true
kindliness which were characteristic
Of the personal relations of opposine
commanders. They are memories thar

tacks His Victim.

New York-Two creatures entirely
new to the eyes of the New York
public are the fine pair of secretary
birds. male and female, just acquired
by Director W. 7. Hornaday for the
Geological Garden. These stately,
long legged bipeds, with ashy gray
plumage and tall feathers two feet
long, are the champion snake killers
of the world. The secretary is really
hawk, adapted especially for ground
hunting The male stands four feet
high. the greater part of this being
made up of legs and neck.
The bird gets its odd name from a
crest of long. dark plumes rising from
the back of the head, which gives him
a fanciful resemblance to a clerk hav-
ing bunch of quill pens stuck behind
his ears. The naked skin of the face
is yellow. The fine gray eyes have
heavy long lashes. In South Africa
the birds are said to be of a consider
able economic use to the community
as a destroyer of yenomous pests, for
they kill and eat cobras, vipers and
other poisonous reptiles. All its food
must be alive. and as garter snakes
sell at ten cents each there is likely

snake lanters in The Bronx
A garter snake was thrown some

|CH|LD IS BORN APE
Lecturer Explains Working Of Bi.
ogenetic Law.
EIucidates Many Strange and Absurd
Instincts That Come and Go Dur
ing Human Infancy, Child
hood and Adolescence.

Chicago. Howard Moore told
members of the Socialist league "a
lot about babies the other night Mr..
Moore discussed The Biology Of the
Child" at meeting which was heId
at 100 Washington street.
There is a law In biology called
the biogenetic law. 1t was ,discov-
cred by Haeckel. 1t is one of the
most important laws Of the organic
world. 1t is this: Each organism In
its individual development repeats
the life history of the race to which
it belongs. u
mo being comes into the world full
grown. Every being goes through the
performance of what is called growing
before. 1t is a complete organism.
Every being commenced as a. small.
simple and rather ~ ess bit of
protoplasm. The gun Between this
condition and matufity IS bridged in
by longer or shqt& series of
changes in size, ford land architec-
ture The remarakt9 thing about
these changes is thatsfhey are strik-
ingly parallel to th9 9changes which
the race has undersehe in its evolu-
ton from the beginning of the earth.
The biogenetic law applies to men,
tai phenomena as well as to
physical Only in the light of this
law is it possible to understand the
many strange and absurd instincts
that come and go during human in
fancy, childhood and adolescence.
1t has been said that the child is
born savage. This is not quite true.
1t is worse than that Only after a
rather long and inglori6us prelim-
mary as a quadruped is 1t able to walk
with its pront feet in the air and
rightfully lay claim to- the title of
savage"
Mr.. Moore said the general. ideas OF
the child, its conception OF itself. and
its outlook on the world are essen
TALLY the same as those of the savage
Ansrrow, mystical. and naive. The
child believes in ghosts, fairy tales.
magic and miracles. much as the saw
age does.
Among the points brought oft by
the lecture were the following:f ~
The human baby antedates the saw
age by several hundred thousand
years.
The child is a born ape.
The instinct of the baby to cling to
everything within reach is the Instinct

siderable opposition. and this found

tury had demonstrated its need in the
English capital.
Up 10 recently there were some 81 :
600 men comprising this force in the
English metropolis. But in order. to
give the bobby one day off in seven it
was found necessary TO add 1900 more
to his strength. so that the force as
constituted today numbers nearly 29,-
600 men. ..... .
The pay is moderate. The beginner
receives 26 shillings or $3.50 a week.
In addition he is furnished home
free in the district to which he is
assigned. He does not fear the land
lord. His remuneration is gradually
increased until he receives. after 20
years service. about S14 week. His
New York brother is paid fully three
times as much. And the London
guardian is not a CRATER. If he should
be found guilty of accepting bribes he
would be dismissed from the force
and sent to prison besides.
