Appomattox.

THE village of ApponattoX, the place
of Lees surrender forty-nine years
ago April o. has fallen into ruin and has
nearly disappeared. Three or four houses
have survived fire, storm and neglect, but
even these are warped and sagging, and
the promise is that they, too, will soon
rot and that weeds, followed by pine, Will
overrun their site. Two OF these houses
had long been abandoned when the Ram
bier passed that way One was occupied
by the large family of a small farmer,
stranger to that part of Virginia who
was unfamiliar with and indifferent to
the great memories that cluster around
that tragic ground. The other had been
the Appomattox Hotel and Is now the
home of the overseer of about 1850 acres
of the surrender ground, owned by Col.
George A Armes of Washington.
This hamlet at the time of the sur
render was the seat of Appomattox coun-
ty Va. 1t was even tthen. after four
years of war, seedy and ramshackle
cluster of nearly dilipadated houses.
There a group of dwellings. mostly
Of wood; a hiring stable, a hotel or tav-
leaned around the sleepy courthouse
square. The court building. which had
stood there unnumbered years. burned
down about twenty years ago and today
the desolate court square is numbered
with ashes, charred plaster. shattered
bricks and bits of heat-distorted glass.
Up through this debris big trees have
grown as companions to those which
shaded the court square before the fire
and which survived the burning of the
courthouse.
You can walk through the garden of
the house in which the formal surren-
der took place. That was the house OF
Wilmer Mclean. 1t was a broad-fronted
brick house. with a covered porch in
front and the entrance in the middle.
with a hallway through the center of the
building from front to back. 1t is the

nett, Col. ]. r. Young. Maj II. c. Pond
and Capt. l. NJ. Arlington.
There are a number of simple markers
and tablets in the fields and pines round
about. placed there under the authority
Of the War Department and by states
marking the positions of troops.
The Rambler understands, though it
was not there when he passed that way,
that a marker has been placed on or near
the spot where Gen. Grants letter bearer,
Col. Orville E. Babcock. found Lee re
clfning by the roadside under tree in
an old apple orchard. This was the only
foundation for the apple tree story of
Appomattox. Lee and Grant. did not meet
until in the parlor of the Mclean house.
The conference lasted from 30 in the
afternoon until O'Clock. and it is not
recorded that Lee and Grant met again
at Appomattox. The site of Lees head
quarters Is marked.
Correspondence had been passiRg be-
tween Grant and Lee, dealing with the
question of surrender for two days. Grant
opened communication with Lee In a let
ter sent from Farmville late in the after
noon of April I. That letter was:
General R. f. Lee. commanding c. S. A:
Of the hopelessness Of further resistance on the
part OF the Army of Northern Virginia in this
struggle. feel that II is so ana regard II as
my duty to shift from myself the responsibility
of any further effusion OF blood by asking OF
you the surrender Of that portion of the Con-
federate States army known the Army Of
Northern Virginia. L. S. GRANT. Lieutenant
General.
Lee replied on the night of April as
follows:
General: l have received your note of this
date. Though not entertaining the opinion you
express Of the hopeiessness Of further resistance
on the part of the Army of Northern Virginia,
/ recprocate your desire to avoid useless emu
sion OF blood and therefore before considering
your proposition ask the terms you will offer
on condition Of its surrender. Z. +. LEE,
General.
Grant replied April that peace be-
ing my great desire there is but one con-
dition 1 would insist upon. namely, that
the men and officers surrendered shall be
disqualified from taking up arms against
the government of the United States, until
properly exchanged. I will meet ytu or
will designate officers to meet any oScers
you may name for the same purpose at
any point agreeable to you for the pur-
pose of arranging definitely the terms
upon which the surrender of the army
of northern Virginia will be received

sented this government at the Danish
court Mr. Roosevelt appointed him 10
this post in 1891 His conduct OF the iesa-
ton at Copenhagen was SO creditaole 10
himself, so eIninently satisfactory to ms
own government, and he was so popular
in Denmark that Mr.. Taft continued him
in office, while President Wilson onered
him the embassy at Vienna. This bril-
liant promotion Mr.. Egan refused. to the
astonishment of his friends on both sides
of the water.
Why he refused it is long story.
The chief reasons are his love for Den
mark. which he regards as his second
horne; his admiration for and devotion TO
the Danes. and the charm life among
them holds for him.
The Danish court, which John Hay
likened to a bit of Dresden china, is the
simplest and most unpretentious in Eu-
rope, while that at Vienna is the most
formal and imposing. The prospect of
being among Emperor Franz Josef's en-
tourage would dazzle one whose taste
is for baubles rather than real things,
and who enjoys the pomp that surrounds
a throne. Mr.. Egan cares more for solid
and substantial intellectual pabulum
than for the flare and frivolity of So
ciety, and SO Vienna and its brilliant
to remain in the diplomatic service, he
preferred rather to stay among friends
in a congenial environment than to ex-
plore new fields and make new friends.
Mr.. Egan is as well liked by the Danes
as they are liked by him. His simplicity
of manner and his intellectual accom-
plishments appeal to them. An interest
ing incident of his career was the visit
of the former President and Mrs. Roose-
Welt. Above everything else the Danes
place simplicity and sincerity, and it
was these qualities in Mrs. Roosevelt
that won the regard of the whole Danish
court and made her visit there an event
to be long remembered.
1t happened that her trunks were de-
layed and she was forced to appear at
court dinner in her travelling frock, a
short skirt and waist. She was appar-
emily quite unconscious of the contrast
between herself and the gorgeously
eowned court ladies by whom she was
surrounded. and. after making a delicate
apology, seemed to forget all about her
apparel and forced her fellow-convives
to forget 1t. The royalties present were

eruption of flags from every window and
housetop. the shouts of epthusiastic gath
erings in the streets, all echo the glorious
report. Richmond is ours
The first announcement of the fact
made by Secretary Stanton in the War
Department building caused a great
stampede of the employees of that estab-
lishment to the street, where their pent-
up enthusiasm had a chance for vent in
cheers that would have assuredly lifted
the roof from that building had they been
delivered with such vim inside.
The news caught UP and spread by
a thousand mouths caused almost a gen
eral suspension of business, and the
various newspaper offices especially were
beSieged by excited crowds.
About the first place in Washington
where a dense crowd gathered was in
front of the war Office. The crowd set
up calls for Stanton Stanton, Sec
retary stanton," He saw the crowd and
he heard the calls. He came out. The
crowd seemed IN a frenzy. It roared
and cheered before he could say one
word. He began to speak. Almost at
the close of every sentence the crowd
roared. Sometimes 1t did not wait for
the close of a sentence. Mr.. Stanton
delivered a rather long speech, and it is
interesting to read it now. The Rambler
cannot go through it for lack of space,
but he began in this way.
Friends and Fellow Citizens: In thIs great hour
of triumph my heart rs well yours is pene-
trrted with gratitude to Almighty God for His
deliverance of this nation. wild cheering of the
crowd) Our thanks due 10 the President
tcheers,, To the army and navy tcheersl 70 t e
great commanders by ard land tcheers>, t,

soil with their blood. tFrenzied cheeringl
At the conclusion of his speech Secre-
tary Stanton led to the front, SO that the
crowd could see him. a boy fourteen
years old, whose name was Willie ket-
ties. He was an operator in the mill
tary telegraph Office at the War De
partment and Secretary Stanton intro
duced him as the person who received
the dispatch announcing the fall OF
Richmond. There was loud cheering for
the boy Vice President Johnson was
in the crowd. He was recognized and.
cries rose for johnson, Johnson.
Speech, Speech The Vice President
found a place to stand on and then
spoke to the throng along the lines on
which everybody was thinking.
y crowd was forming around the State
Department building, and the crowd at
the war office. after Andrew Johnson's
speech, surged over that way. There
were calls for Secretary Seward, and he
came out and made speech.
The Rambler wants to pause at this
point in the story to make a few OBJ
servations which he feels are just. The

toX Court House Lee. Col. Babcock and
Col. Marshall entered the first house they
came to in the village, but Wilmer Nc
Lean. having the largest and best house
in the hamlet, offered the use OF it. The
party then went to this house and waited.
In half an hour Grant and his staff and
a number of other officers rode into the
village. The scene and conference in
that parlor was one of the most mem
orable in the new world. The only Con-
federates present were Lee and Marshall.
Among the Federals were Gems. Sheridan,
Edward o. c. Ord. Rufus ingalls,, John

Confederate cavalry and artillery might
retain their horses. they being the private
property of the men, and Lee put in
writing his acceptance of the terms. After
the conference Lee and Marshall left, and
soon after Grant and his staff rode away.
The surrender becoming known. Union
batteries began firing Salutes. Grant
ordered the firing stopped and is report
ed to have said: THE war is over, the
rebels are our countrynen again and the
best sign of rejoicing after victory will
be to abstain from all demonstrations in
the neld.
The news came through to Washington
soon after the surrender 1t was Sunday.
but the news passed around from mouth
to mouth. Washington had been cele-
brating the capture Of Petersburg and
Richmond The surrender of Lee had
been daily expected. There was great
deal of rejoicing in Washington, but the
surrender was not as wildly acclaimed as
the fall of Richmond.
At dawn of Monday salute of 500
guns was fired on Massachusetts, avenue

Of the Secretary OF War. The saluting
