I remember—and it was recalled to me to-night when the name of General Grant came up in the course of conversation—the wonderful scene that transpired in that little place in Virginia, on the 5th of April, 1865. It was late in the afternoon when it became known that General Lee had sent for Grant to surrender to him. It was between 2 and 3 o'clock when we met in the little room in the house where the surrender of Lee's army took place. I know there is a belief that the surrender took place under an apple tree, where Grant and Lee met and exchanged a few words. The surrender took place in the left hand room of that old-fashioned double-house. The house had a large piazza which ran along the full length of it. It was one of those ordinary Virginia houses with a passageway running through the center of it. In that little room where the meeting took place sat two young men—one a great grandson of Chief Justice Marshall, of the Supreme Court, reducing to writing the terms of the surrender on behalf of Robert E. Lee; the other a man with dusky countenance—a great nephew of that celebrated chief—Red Jacket—acting under General Grant. They, too, were reducing to writing the terms of the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia to the Army of the Potomac. Gathered around the room were several officers, of whom I was one. At some distance apart sat two men; one the most remarkable man of his day and generation. The larger and older of the two was the most striking in his appearance. His hair was white as the driven snow. There was not a speck upon his coat; not a spot upon those gauntlets that he wore, which were as bright and fair as a lady's glove. That was Robert E. Lee. The other was Ulysses S. Grant, whose appearance contrasted strangely with that of Lee; his boots were nearly covered with mud; one button of his coat—that is, the buttonhole, was not where it should have been—it had clearly gone astray, and he wore no sword, while Lee was faultlessly and fully equipped. The conversation was not rapid by any means. Everybody felt the overpowering influence of the scene. Everyone present felt they were witnessing the proceedings between the two chief actors in one of the most remarkable transactions of this nineteenth century. The words that passed between Grant and Lee were few. General Grant, endowing for not being how birds improve. You often will mention in books about nests, that each species year and generate building its nest in which has always kept ancestors. It is said their nests entirely no improvement except through the process actually the way which for thousands of generations stated that young birds all this without make their first nest old birds which have raised severals These statements are writers upon nature would seem as if the reason for them, and is true. Birds do nothing their nests in sin which their ancestors ever better places as soon learn to take neither do they stick al for one generation whenever more suitability within their reach to use it, so that they better than those but neither is it true that the shape of their young birds are as far as the old.

A sad, sweet poet complains, "I cannot breathe the willow-scented air." All right, then.

"CHARLIE, dear," said a doting South Hill mother, "you mustn't swear that way when the minister is visiting here." "And why?" asked the profane one. "Because," said his mother, "it is very shocking to people who have had religious training." "Good enough for 'em," said the boy, "they hadn't ought to git so religious as to make 'em over sensitive." "HAD you any sinister motive in making this assault?" the judge asked a railway engineer arrested for scalping a yard man with a copper hammer. "Any what?" queried the prisoner. "Any sinister motive, any malicious motive," explained the judge. "No; hadn't nothing but a locomotive," was the reply. "Old 296." Then the case went to the jury without argument. TAKE away your Spartan boy and his fox. A prominent free and accepted Mason of Burlington stood still the other day on a grand occasion in a neighboring town, listening to a long address of welcome, never moved a muscle, and made his response without a tremor in his voice, while all this time a grasshopper two inches long was crawling up and down his leg. But when the Mason got away into a secret place, he kicked his leg out of joint in three places and lay down and had four fits. The Blue Danube. The Danube, just now the scene of the operations of the Turko-Russian war, is by far the largest river in Europe. Its main stem rises in the Black Forest within thirty miles of the Rhine, and flows centrally through Europe—through Bavaria, Austria proper, Hungary, between Wallachia and Servia, and between Roumania and Turkey proper—to the sea, having a total length of the main river of 1,700 miles. It has many large tributaries—the Inn and Iser, in Bavaria; the Drave and Suave, in Styria and Crotia; the Theiss, in Hungary; the Aluta, Sereth and Pruth, in Roumania—all of which, except the two first named, are navigable, some of them for more than 100 miles. The Danube itself is navigable for 1,545 miles, and with its tributaries for nearly 2,000 miles. This magnificent river so closely resembles tristead strangely with that of Lee; his boots were nearly covered with mud; one button of his coat—that is, the buttonhole, was not where it should have been—it had clearly gone astray, and he wore no sword, while Lee was faultlessly and fully equipped. The conversation was not rapid by any means. Everybody felt the overpowering influence of the scene. Everyone present felt they were witnessing the proceedings between the two chief actors in one of the most remarkable transactions of this nineteenth century. The words that passed between Grant and Lee were few. General Grant, endeavoring to apologize for not being fully equipped, and noticing the faultless appearance of Lee, while the secretaries were busy, said: "General Lee, I have no sword; I have been riding all night." And Lee, with that coldness of manner and all the pride, almost haughtiness, which, after all, became him wonderfully well, never made any reply, but in a cold, formal manner, bowed. And General Grant, in the endeavor to take away the awkwardness of the scene, said: "I don't always wear a sword, because a sword is a very inconvenient thing." That was a remarkable thing for him to say, considering that he was in the presence of one who was about to surrender his sword. Lee only bowed again. Another trying to relieve the awkwardness of the occasion, inquired: "General Lee, what became of the white horse you rode in Mexico? He might not be dead yet; he was not so old." General Lee bowed coldly, and replied: "I left him at the White House on the Pamunkey river, and have not seen him since." There was one moment when there was a whispered conversation between Grant and Lee which nobody in the room heard. The surrender took the form of correspondence; the letters were all signed in due form by the chief actors, in the presence of each other. Finally, when the terms of the surrender had all been arranged, and the surrender made, Lee arose, cold and proud, and bowed to every person in the room on our side. I remember each one of us thought he had been specially bowed to. And then he went out and passed down the square in front of the house, and bestrode that gray horse that had carried him all over Virginia; and when he had gone away, we learned what that whispered conversation was about. General Grant called his officers about him, and said: "You go to the Twenty-fourth, and you to the Fifth," and so soon, naming the corps,"and ask every man who has three rations to turn over two of them... Go to the commissaries and go to the quartermasters," &c.; "General Lee's army is on the point of starvation!" And 25,000 rations were carried to the army of Northern Virginia. — From General George H. Sharpe's Decoration Day Address. Rank in Puritan Churches. The early Puritans were stern Democrats. They had no respect for the divine right of kings, and no scruples in beheading Charles I. for tyranny.

M. Pounc In thirty miles of the Minneapolis and now centrally through Europe—through Bavaria, Austria proper, Hungary, between Wallachia and Servia, and between Roumania and Turkey proper—to the sea, having a total length of the main river of 1,700 miles.

The Danube itself is navigable for 1,545 miles, and with its tributaries for nearly 2,000 miles. This magnificent river so closely resembles the Mississippi in some particulars and differs from it so widely in others as to make a comparison between them interesting to American readers. The Danube drains one-fourth as much territory as the Mississippi, including all of its tributaries, half as much as the Missouri, and as much as the Ohio and Upper Mississippi together. It runs nearly eastward, has its sources and those of its large tributaries in the Tyrolian and Semmering Alps and in the Carpathian Mountains. Its passage through Austria and Hungary and again along the Turkish frontier is similar to the great American river, with wide, alluvial bottoms, overflowed, sometimes, in great freshets. Its delta and mouths are exactly similar to those of the Mississippi, and have been blocked up by sand bars, now happily removed by the genius of Sir Charles Hartley. When the Danube breaks through the Carpathian Mountains it presents features closely resembling the highlands of the Hudson river, though the mountain sides are much higher and more precipitous. The son of the editor of the Chicago Religio-Philosophical Journal (spiritualist organ), has succeeded to his father's position as the editor of that periodical. In the last number he avers that his father has become a celestial correspondent of the Journal, and to prove it prints the following letter received by the courtesy of a medium: "My Dear Francis: I have not been able to meet many beside my own dear ones yet. I have been called upon by Theodore Parker, John Pierpont, Joshua Giddings and Robert Owen, but above a passing salute nothing was said. I was too weak to talk with any one." It is curious how soon college boys pick up anything classic. The Brown University boys call their junior paper "The Bulldozer." Rank in Puritan Churches. The early Puritans were stern Democrats. They had no respect for the divine right of kings, and no scruples in beheading Charles I. for tyranny. They would fight to the death in resisting despotism, and submit without a murmur to martyrdom in behalf of their principles. But they recognized superior merit, and were always ready to give precedence to worth of character and eminent usefulness. Dr. Ellis, in the Unitarian Review, recalls the fact that in the first Puritan churches of Massachusetts, unpewed and with free seats, places of honor were assigned to the magistrates and to distinguished citizens. He says: "God had made men to differ, and it would have been wickedness or folly to attempt to deal with man and man as if all were entitled to like consideration. They did not accept the modern notion that 'one man is as good as another.' They put no obstacle whatever in the way of any man's 'rising'; but till he had risen, they meant he should understand that he had his betters! And so after a prominent place had been assigned in the sanctuary for the minister and his family, and for the elders, the next place of honor was given to the resident magistrate; the next to the highest military officer in the place; the next to the man of most worldly substance, provided he made a generous public use of it; and so on." There were two of them hanging over the front gate the other night. She was standing within the yard and he on the sidewalk outside, both leaning on the top rail and apparently as happy as two pigs in a cornfield. He was saying: "Now, my own little darling, sweet idol of my soul, whose image is ever on my heart," when he saw the old man coming down the front walk, and continued in a different strain: "The potato bugs haven't destroyed our crops so much since we purchased Paris green; and you will find also that cabbages can be raised better on a richer soil." The old gentleman heard it, and turned back, saying, as he entered the house: "These young people take more interest in agricultural affairs than people generally suppose." The boughs that bear most hang lowest. An Iowa clergyman relied and parted them to read "My Dear Sir: I am very grateful to you in relation to my acted upon your desire after me again, I trust of death shall visit." How Birds Improve in Nest-Building. You often will meet with the statement in books about birds and bird's nests, that each species goes on, year after year and generation after generation, building its nest in precisely the way which has always been followed by its ancestors. It is said that birds build their nests entirely by instinct, and that no improvement ever takes place, but that each bird selects a place for its nest, and gathers the materials, and goes through the process of building in exactly the way which has been followed for thousands of generations. It is also stated that young birds know how to do all this without any instruction, and make their first nest as skillfully as those old birds which have had experience, and have raised several broods of young. These statements are made so often by writers upon natural history that it would seem as if there must be a good reason for them, and yet not one of them is true. Birds do not always go on building their nests in similar places to those in which their ancestors built, but whenever better places are offered them they soon learn to take advantage of them; neither do they stick to the same material for one generation after another, but whenever more suitable material is placed within their reach they often learn how to use it, so that their nests are much better than those built by their ancestors; neither is it true that they never improve the shape of their nests, nor that the young birds are as skillful architects as the old. You all know that only a few hundred years ago there was not a barn or a chimney within the United States, unless, perhaps, those singular cliff-dwelling people in New Mexico and Arizona, of whom we know so little, had barns and chimneys. At any rate, we know that on the east side of the Mississippi, at the time when the white men discovered and settled the country, there were no people who knew anything of architecture. The barn and chimney swallows were to be found here and there as they are to-day, but of course they were compelled to build their nests in hollow trees and caves, or any other suitable places which they were able to find. As soon as white men spread over the country and erected buildings, these birds, which had never before seen a barn or chimney, soon discovered that these places are much more warm and dry than rotten trees and damp caves, as well as better protected from storms, and it probably did not Why Suffer Dyspeptic Tortures. When the famous regulator of enfeebled acid or milious stomachs, Hostetter's Bitterns, will care you? Could you read the testimony of the myriads of dyspeptics whom it has cured, though you might be of a skeptical turn, you would be convinced. Evidence of its affinity is constantly multiplying, and this relates not only to cases of dyspepsia, but also liver complaint, constipation, urinary and uterine troubles and malarial disorders. The success which has attended the great stomachic has incited unscrupulous parties to manufacture cheap limitations of it, which they attempt to palm off as the genuine article. But, so familiar is the public with the real elixir, that these nefarious attempts are rarely successful. Neither imitation or competition affect the popularity of the standard article. The Midsummer Holiday Scribner, In pursuance of the custom introduced last year by Scribner's Monthly, the August number is issued as a special Midsummer Holiday number. Among the material put forth to vindicate this title are illustrated papers on the following subjects: "North American Grouse," by Charles E. Whitehead; "Canadian Sports," dealing chiefly with Lacrosse, Snow-hoeing and Tobioganing, by Dr. Beers; "Babes in the Wood," an account of a trip through the Maine forests to Canada in a birch-bark canoe, made by the family of the author, Mrs. Hoyt, who is a daughter of the late Chief-Justice Chase; and a fourth paper on "A Railroad in the Clouda," by Major J. E. Montgomery, describing the highest railway in the world, which, by the way, was built by American enterprise. There is also a horseback reverie on "The Old Boston Road," by E. S. Nadal (who has just been appointed to the place on the American legislation at London, which he held under Mr. Motley), and John Burroughs has one of his characteristic talks on "Strawberries," which will doubtless prolong the season of that delightful fruit. Of the noteworthy new contributors, Berthold Auerbach has a story of German peasant life, entitled "Adam and Eve at the Agricultural Fair," with illustrations by Professor Thumann, of the Berlin Academy; Miss Clara Louise Kellogg writes about "Some Japanese Melodies," the scores of which are given, and the author of "Deirdre" has a three-page poem of "Reflections" about American authors, inscribed to Dr. Holmes. Other stories of a light character are "Smethurstees," by Mrs Burnett, the author of "That Lass o' Lowrie's," told in Cockney dialect, by the wax-work man; "Swart among the Buckeyes," a study of Ohio village life, by Hjalmar Hjorth Boyesen, and a character-sketch, by Mary E. C. Wyeth, of "Moses an' Aaron," who, it must be told, is one person and not two. Other poems adapted to the season are a "Madrigal," by Edmund Clarence Stedman; "Summer Thoughts," by D. S. Foster; and "Guests," by Cella Thaxter. Bayard Taylor contributes an "Assyrian Night-Song;" and R. H. Stoddard a long poem entitled "Two Kings." The first installment of Miss Trafton's new serial, "His Inheritance," is given in this number. The scene is laid on the south- when the white men discovered and settled the country, there were no people who knew anything of architecture. The barn and chimney swallows were to be found here and there as they are to-day, but of course they were compelled to build their nests in hollow trees and caves, or any other suitable places which they were able to find. As soon as white men spread over the country and erected buildings, these birds, which had never before seen a barn or chimney, soon discovered that these places are much more warm and dry than rotten trees and damp caves, as well as better protected from storms, and it probably did not take many years for the swallow to discover that snakes and birds and beasts of prey did not dare to approach such places. These wise birds, then, improved upon the habits of their ancestors, and gave up their old savage life in the woods, in order to share the benefits of civilization. It seems as natural now for a barn swallow to make its nest in a barn as for a cat-bird to build in a bush or a tree; but it is plain that this has not always been the case, and that these birds have been wise enough to change their mode of life. It is very certain that a few hundred years ago orioles could have known nothing about string or carpet-ravelings, and must have confined themselves to such stringy fibers as can be bound in a natural state; and those orioles which build their nests at a distance from houses, still make use of grass, flax, the fibres of silk-weed, and other things which they are able to find; but of course a much stronger and more durable nest can be woven from strong thread and string, and the birds have not been slow to discover this and to act accordingly. A few years ago, Pouchet, a French naturalist, who was then engaged in writing a book upon natural history, wished to have an engraving made of the nest of the common European house-martin. The nests in his collection were nearly fifty years old, and, thinking that the artist would be able to make a much better picture from a new and perfect nest than from an old one, he employed a man to collect a number from the walls of the houses in Paris. Upon comparing these with the old nests in his collection, Pouchet found that there had been a very great improvement in the architecture of these birds within the last fifty years. He says that the old nests are globular, or forming a segment of a sphere with a very small rounded opening, just large enough to allow the passage of the birds inhabiting it; and the accounts of all the ancient writers agree in describing this as the form of the nest in their day. The new nest is in the form of the quarter of a hollow semi-oval, this giving three flat surfaces for attachment instead of one, and affording more room on the floor of the nest. The opening is no longer a round hole, but a long transverse slit, between the upper edge of the nest and the wall of the building to which it is attached, thus allowing the young to put their heads out and enjoy the fresh air, without interfering with the entrance and exit of the parents. M. Pouchet says that, besides the advantages of more room inside when the white men discovered and settled the country, there were no people who knew anything of architecture.

Bulletin. Life Insurance Claims. The Supreme Court of New York State has decided that the law allowing six months from date of first publication of Receiptship to file claims must be compiled with, and that it would not be sufficient to file a claim after that time,even if done before payment of the second dividend. Therefore,Claimants must take prompt action in order to protect their interests because in some instances time allowed has nearly expired. James Munsell Jr., has made special arrangements in the East for presenting in due form claims against Life Insurance Companies in liquidation. Parties filing claims through this Agency will be relieved of all further trouble,and final settlement will be made with them at this office on first second dividends,a fast as made by the Receivers. For direction of claimants who are unacquainted with these matters,special reference is made to them.Agentes和管理员 The Finest Class—Woman on American Frontier:"A valuable and authentic history of the Herliemer Adventure,and death at deaths of "Mothers.of.theRepublic.Based.live.Long.Since."Correspondence from the interior will receive prompt attention, // Conveyance from the interior will receive prompt attention, // necessary blanks for making claims furnished on application by mail. // Office 224 Sansome street,corner California, // over bank of British Columbia, // over Francisco. // S.F.

The new nest is in the form of the quarter of a hollow semi-oval, this giving three flat surfaces for attachment instead of one, and affording much more room on the floor of the nest. The opening is no longer a round hole, but a long transverse slit, between the upper edge of the nest and the wall of the building to which it is attached, thus allowing the young to put their heads out and enjoy the fresh air, without interfering with the entrance and exit of the parents. M. Pouchet says that, besides the advantages of more room inside the nest, increased facilities for access and greater strength, it is also more secure from the invasion of enemies, and better protected from the entrance of cold and rain, and is thus a decided improvement upon the old form. Many of the naturalists who have studied the habits of birds with the greatest care have satisfied themselves that young birds are not as skillful as the old. Nearly one hundred and fifty years ago Lerory, a French naturalist who spent his life in studying the habits of the wild animals of Europe, published a book, which has lately been translated into English, on the "Intelligence and Perfectibility of Animals." In this book he says that it is impossible that a constant and attentive observer should fail to remark that the nests of young birds are almost invariably ill-made and badly situated. He also shows that the best and most complicated nests are made by those spicies of birds whose young remain a long time in the nest, and thus have more opportunity to see how it is made. Wilson, the ornithologist, who spent his life in studying the habits of our birds, reached the same conclusion—that there is a very perceptible inferiority in the nests of young birds.—Prof. W. K. Brooks, in St. Nicholas. An Iowa clergyman and his wife quarreled and parted. Somebody advised them to read "Betsy and I are Out." They did so, and at once became reconciled to each other. Hereafter Carleton may append to his poem, after the manner of the patent medicine makers, the following "certificate" from a clergyman: "My Dear Sir: I can never be sufficiently grateful to you for your kindly advice in relation to my domestic affliction. I acted upon your suggestion, and it had the desired effect. We are reunited, never again, I trust, to part until the angel of death shall visit one of us." A New Poet has Arisen. We have received a copy of some very fine poems published by Mr. George G. W. Morgan, of 638 Minna street, San Francisco. They are printed in two colors and have a very neat appearance; some of the poems are illustrated, while others have pieces of music attached to them. Among them are "The Brotherhood of Man," "Columbia, the Home of the Free," and "Freedom's Home." "A Husband's Tribute to a Spirit Wife," and "Whence Come Light and Heat," are perfect gems, and many other pieces are deserving of great praise. Mr. Morgan thinks deeply and expresses himself fearlessly. Sent on receipt of price, fifty cents a part. Purchasing Agency.
