Aboard a Submarine.

THE commander of d submarine
must lie in wait for his quarry,
with the nose of his boat pointing in
the direction where he expects the
enemy's vessel to pass. Then he has
to estimate the speed of the ap-
preaching ship and her distance and
to fire the torpedo at the point where
he calculates she will have arrived
when, the torpedo has finished its run.
A naval officer says: IF any one
wishes to appreciate some of the diff
flculties of submarine work let him
sit down under chart of any por-
ton of the seas, suspended from the
ceiling; let him punch a hole In it,
and above the hole place a piece of
mirror inclined at forty five degrees.
Let him further imagine his chair
and glass moving sideways as the
effect of tide. Let him occasionally
fill the room with steam to represent
mist. Let him finally crumple the
chart into ridges to represent the
waves and then try to carry out the
maneuvers that look SO simple when
the chart is spread out on the table
and looked down upon in the quiet
solitude of well lit room"

cause they reminded her, she said, of
her old home.
1t is ~ellnight miraculous that this
old mansion has been pre-
served. because through the most stir
ring days of history it has been re-
peatedly set on fire. When Benedict
Arnold raided the Virginia river coun-
try 1t was set af1ame. but was saved
by the Eppes slaves after the family
had been forced to fee for their lives.
During the early days of the civil
war II was twice fired by northern
gunboats, but happily it was saved
from the destruction that overlook so
many other famous old James river
homes.
IN the crucial days of March, 1865,
i when the fate of the nation was at
stake, President Lincoln, accompanied
by his cabinet, went down the Poto-
mac river from the National Capital
to Chesapeake bay and up the James
river to City Point. They joined Gen.
Grant at his offices i'm the Appomattox
mansion, and while there it was de-

Gen. Grant. while maintaining his
headquarters there. did not live in the
manor house, but in one of a row Of
officers cabins built in the yard. The
particular cabin which was occupied
by Grant was taken in 1876 to Phila-
delphia and was an attraction at the
centennial exposition. John W. Welsh.
commissioner of the centennial expo
sition, was an uncle of Mrs. Richard
Eppes The city OF Philadelphia, it
will be recalled, gave him an homo
rarium of $4,000. which he accepted
and Immediately turned over to char
tiles of that city. He was later am
bassador to the court OF ST. James.
The cabin occupied by Gen. Grant as
his headquarters on the Appomattox
estate was later removed to Fair
mount Park, Philadelphia. where 1t Is
today.
1t is interesting to note that in
the original grant of all the land
covering City Point, the extent of
which can be emphasized by saying
that the town of Hopewell was cary
ed out of the Eppes estate. the name
was spelled three ways, referring to
the same Col. Francis Eppes-Epes,

The antithcSis between the old or

lie Roy Hodges, a long time friend Of
the Eppes and Stands families, who
says:
Here, where the proud aristocracy
OF old Virginia have gathered on
beauty-graced verandas OF stately
old mansions-where the songs of
negroes have sounded from broad
fields of growing tobacco-now crowd
and push countless. multi tongued
throng gathered from all corners of

factory whistles records the fight of
the hours where but few years ago
plantation bells called the workers
from the fields. Here one sees in all
its nakedness the passing of an an
cient economic and social order-here
a struggling rear guard of the old
south is fast going down before the
oncoming of industrialism of the flu

between Gen. Grant and Presi-

eral members of the cabinet,
was held in the manor house of the
famous Appomattox estate. which
originally took in all of City Point.

Is the ancestral home of Mrs. A. Il.
Stands, 90l 10th street. 1t has been
constantly occupied by seven genera
tions of the pioneer Eppes family.
which still holds the original parch-
ment grant from the British crown
to Col. Francis Eppes in 1886. This
treasured document. handed down
through the years from father to son
in direct descent, has been placed for
safekeeping in the vaults of the Nir-
ginia state library at Richmond.
This old homestead was the turn
Ing point In the war between the
states, and it was on his return from
there TO Washington that Lincoln
was assassinated fifty-eight years
ago. The manor house, which was
used by Gen. Grant for his Offices.
stands today practically as it looked

the structure dates back to 1885

should be maintained as a home for

Still strung through this mansion
are the telegraph wires used by Gen.
Grant and over which the most i'm

were sent. The magnificent old trees
about the mansion were spared during
Gen. Grants occupancy through the in
sistence of Mrs. Grant, who visited
