LEE AT APPOMATTOX.
One of the Most Notable Scenes In the
History of the War-The
Parting of Comrades.

Men who saw the defeated general
when he came forth from the chamber
where he had signed the articles Of
capitulation say that he paused a mo-
ment as his eyes rested once more on
the Virginia hills, smote his hands to-
gether as though in some excess Of
inward agony, then mounted his gray
horse, Traveller, and rode calmly away.
If that was the very Gethsemane
Of his trials, yet he must have had
then one moment Of supreme, if chas-
tened, joy. As he rode quietly down
the lane leading from the scene OF
capitulation he passed into view Of his
men-of such as remained Of them.
The news of the surrender had got
abroad. and they were waiting, grief
stricken and detected, upon the hill
sides when they caught sight Of their
old commander on the gray horse.
Then occurred one OF the most notable
scenes in the history Of the war. In
an instant they were about him, bare
headed, with tear wet faces, thronging
him, kissing his hand, his boots, his
saddle; weeping, cheering him amid
their tears, shouting his name to the
very skies. He said: 'Men, we have
fought through the war together.
have done my best for you. My heart
is too full to say more. From Rob
ert E. Lee, the Southerner."

LATHAM'S HOME RUN.
Dubbed "ths Dude" as Told by
Charley Comiskey.

Charley Comiskey told the story OF
how ArIie Latham came to be called
'-the dude"
''One spring during Latham's term OF
service with the GOOD old st. Louis
Browns" said Comiskey, "he jumped
into the opening game Of the season
and won Us a victory by knocking out
a home run in the last inning. Chris
Won der Abe from mis- place in the
grand stand saw Arlie make his sensa-
tional hit and naturally enthused. Att

dialect Of his said to Latham:

for you to wear on yourself. Take dis

Latham didn't do a thing on the
strength OF that order but replenish
bis wardrobe For three days in sue
eession he showed up at the ball park
IN a fine makeup. and every suit Of
clothes was brand new. On the fourth
day Chris got a bill from the clothing
people for 800. Naturally he sent for
Latham and demanded an explanation.
"'Why, Chris, old pel,' said Tath,'
there's nothing to explain. Didn't
you agree in that order you gave me

Old London Coekshops.

Mediaeval London, besides being q
''city of taverns," was famous for its
cookshOps, such as the place on the
river bank described by Fitzstephen in
the thirteenth century: There every
day ye may call for any dish Of meat,
roast, fried or sodden, fish both small
and great, venison and fowl. If friends
come upon a sudden wearied with
travel to a citizens house and they be
loath to wait for curious preparations
and dressings of fresh meat let the
servant run to the water side, where
all things that can be desired are at
hand" This particular place Of public
cookery apparently did an indoor as
well as an outdoor trade, for Fitz-
stephen further described it as being
used both day and night by multi
tudes OF soldiers or other strangers
who refresh themselves to their con-
tent on roast goose, the fowl Of Afri-
ca and the rare gadwit of Ionia." But
what were the two last mentioned
viands ?-LOndOn Chronicle.

A Curious Structure.

On the road from Clifton downs TO
Avonmouth the traveller will pass, in
the Avon gorge, a curious structure to
which a singular tradition is attached,
relates the London Taller. The story
is that a person named Cook about
century ago was told by a gypsy In the
Leigh woods that his only son would
be killed by a serpent before he reach
ed the age OF twenty-one. To avert
this he built high tower and shut his
son in the tOpmost room with the IN
tention Of secIuding him there until the
fatsl age was passed. However, by ac-
ctdent viper was taken up in fagot
70 the room to light the fire, and it
crept from the fagot and bit the boy
so that he died Therefore the tower
was called Cooks Folly, and that is it's
name to this day, whatever is the true
explanation.

Yea! sold and scattered so,

Keep back the tears that hurry seem
When this midnight recall.

To whom all honor's due,
Whose vital strength and prayer to
God
Cut Opaque darkness through.
Some fell before the labor hard;
A few would look and go
Because the letters on the work
We're N. E. G. R. o.
But those who diligently strove
Fer opposition came
Eliminating from some knavish folk.)
With strength, it met the same.
They laid for US the stepping stones
That lead us to the Gate.
They wo-ked in unity gainst strife,
BoGh amateur and great.
Now we think a brighter day
Shall dawn before us soon,
A day so fair without cloud,
Yea, morning, night and noon;
On which all nations will contest,
Out on the march they go,
The name of nation on each flag
One, N. E. G. R. o.
Well shout and sing till angels wait
And To-! They stop and gaze
To see what these things be about
When high the banners raise.
The highest one near reach the sky,
The name thereon to know,
With shaded brow, they read the one
With N. 4. G. R. o.
Well have the sweetest music there.
Well ne'er forget the sound;
Then march away to some great place.
Step forth accept the crown,
The giVer of this noble thing
Shall with a trumpet blow,
A signal that the highest one
Was N. E. G. R. O.
What more of joy shall we then wish?
To know our race so strong,
Thus won through battles, floods and
flames
o, may these joys prolong;
For we each day, are working on
AS sure as time does go,
A flag to represent our race,
The N. E. G. R. o.
We kneel to God with grateful heart
And thank him as it is,
1t took its root in richest soil
And grows, twill bloom in years
The bud now glitters with the dew,
IT'S only a matter of time,
For swiftly come the days and months
That bring this flower sublime.
