Marvelous, indeed, despite the troubles
which remain, is the spectacle presented by
America after her mighty struggle. The
shiftiest and most dexterous of races, if not the
strongest, our Yankee friends are falling, as if
by some natural law of gravitation, info their
proper places ; and there is something really
wonderful in their versatility. The Genera],
telling his wife to take care of his epaulettes,
quietly turns lawyer or merchant; the soldier
goes back to the farm or the loom ; and two
mighty armies have hitherto scarcely shown a
sign of disorder (luting the trying time of dis-
bandment. The explanation of all this must
not be sought in “institutions” or “constitu
tions,” but in those grand natural capacities of
the land itself, which no labor or wit of man
created, which no violenc^ of man coaid alto
gether destroy. In that immense continent
there is room for all; and no one with any real
capacity has long to Wait before he finds his
place. Few other condtries could have sus
tained the recent contort without utter ruin; in
America the wounds are healing almost before
the swords are sheathed. Nor let us forget, as
we contemplate the significant scene of generals
devoting themselves to civil pursuits, that the
national character must have been potently af
fected by the events of the past five years.
Many of life’s most important lessons can only
be learnt through the stern discipline of battle;
and a people which had never passed through
the lurid cloud of desolation and of death,
might indeed have rioted in all the insolent ex
travagance of materiel prosperity, but would
never have been, in the high meaning of the
term, a nation. * * *
The Scene of Tee’s Surrender—Total
Disappearance ml the Famous Apple
Tree.
The Richmond Enquirer says : “A gentleman
just from Appomattox Court House informs us
t'oot ‘there is nothing left of the apple tree under
which General Lee surrendered, but a red hole
in the ground, and it is feared that unless the
hole is fenced in, tb&t also will be removed by
cariosity-seekers.. It is a subject worthy of
notice, too, that the apple tree alluded to was the
largest tree in tho worl i being at least forty
times the bulk of the celebrated California oak,
which was about the size of the citadel of Ham.
About nine hundred and seventeen cords ot this
apple tree have already been distributed over the
United States in the shape of walking canes,
fishing poles, umbrella bandies, policemen’s
clubs, work boxes, sewing machines, writing
desks, vest buttons, corks, charms, lead pencils
pen handles, toddy muddlers tooth picks, tobac
co pipes, and snuffboxes. The number of per
sons lelicitating in these heroic relics is estima
ted at about twenty-eight millions, which is
equivalent to tho number of rebsls killed,
wonnded and missing in tbe late war, according
to the published statements of northern news
papers. from statistics gathered at the time. In
fact, this apple tree enjoya as wide a circulation
as any bogus medicine in existence, and, but lor
the fact that General Lee didn’t surrender under
any apple tree at all; it might be appropriately
placed, photographically, among the historic
archives of the country, as the greatest tree in all
existence.
“It is useless to attempt a conviction of the
truth so long as the stock on hand of the great
Appomatox apple tree is unexhausted, and,
perhaps, even when that supply gives out—for
the destruction of apple trees in New England,
when the Maine law excited a prejudice against
brandy, renders suoh nn exhaustion probable—
history will claim the original as the rightful
possessor of the fame of the locality, and the
surrender of General Lee under an apple tree
will bo fixed in the national records pnd the
pictorial reports from the Patent Office on
Pomology and Agriculture.”
[This is a fair hit at the general mania for
relic-hunting, but in an historical point of
view, it is untrue. The formal surrender of
Lee took place in a neighboring farm-house,
but his council of war with his Generals, at
which a surrender wag agreed upon, did take
place under this famoqs apple tree. The fact
is indisputably established by the testimony of
many of our officers.]
A Son ol Lord Byron a Mail Robber.
The Chicago Republican gives a long story
of “Pinkerton's National Police Agency,” from
which we extract tbe following :
■ ‘ In connection with the railroad business
there occurred many strange episodes. Daring
the early stnges of railroad enterprise in Illi
nois, great crimes were frequently perpetrated
by obstructing the track and throwing off the
traips. Many were killed by these atrocious acts
although plunder wits, no doubt, the object of
them. The Michigan Southern suffered most
in this way; lives were lost apd the mails in
variably robbed. Qn one of these occasions,
after a tedious investigation of months, Mr.
Pinkerton arrosted one Augustus Stewart By
ron, who with a nephew of Admiral Napier,
who was then serving in the Crimean war, was
charging with obstruction, robbery and murder
by the obstruction. The former claimed to be
a natural son of Lord Byron, by an Edinburgh
girl named Mary Stewart. He had two or three
manuscript letters written by Lord Byron in
bis possession, and there were other authentic
documents to prove the troth of his story.
"‘The latter .Napier, also turned out to be the
person he represented himself to be, although
he managed finally to elnde justice by funning
away.' He escaped from New York in a sailing
vessel bound for England, although Mr. Pink
erton was in New York and oh his track at the
time- The son of the poet was convicted of
murder, by throwing a train from the track,
thereby, killing the engineer, the object being
the robbery of the mails. He was sentenced
to imprisonment lor life in the State peniten
tiary at 1 Jackson, capital punishment having
been abolished in Michigan. He died in prison
aged about 38 year* v • .'*

Tbe American Union Commission, for the re
lief of Southern refagees, of which Rev. Joseph.
P. Thompson, D. D., of New York, is President,
make its appeal to the American churches, asking
for a contribution on Thanksgiving Day, such as
was made last year. Of this agency it is said:
It has given assistance to not less than twenty
thousand suffering poor in Middle Tennessee, and
to an incalculable comber in Bast Tennessee,
through the New England branch; has given
food and clothing to fifteen thousand in Rich
mond; through the Baltimore branch has dis
tributed nearly two thousand school books and
Bibles, and over three thousand dollars of sup
plies, chiefly in tbe valley of the Shenandoah;
and has sent in less quantities to various points,
from Littls Roek, in the West, to Fernandina, in
the South. *
An exchange says, a number of Treasury clerks
of the higher grades are doing a lively business
as brokers. Some of them have as much as three
thousand dollars out at eight and a half per cent,
a month. One sixteen hundred dollar olerk in
the Third Auditor's office, boasts that by his sys
tem of oxaction, whioh is made possible by tho
necessities of his poorer fellow clerks, he makes
from two to three hundred dollars a month above
bis salary. This state of things is beginning to
excite remark, as it is thought these usurers ought
at least to take out brokers’ license, and pay some
tax on their enormous profits.
The new ten-cent currency notes are nearly
ready for distribution. They are half an inch
longer and a quarter of an inch wider than
those now in use. A medallion head of Wash
ington forms the centre of the vignette, while
on the sides are minute representations of masts
of ships, warehouses, etc., and on each side of
the medallion, in fancy lettering, the figures
“10.” The signatures of the United States
Treasurer and of the Register of the Treasnry
are appended to the note. The dress is
printed in green, and but little bronze is being
used.
The Charleston News, speaking of one of
the Senators just elected from South Carolina,
says: “Governor Manning is distinguished for

nence, it is to be presumed he will be received
with favor and respect, and will exert an in
fluence, as saving as may be, upon the fortunes
of his State.”

We make the following laughable extract
from s speech cqadc 9j John Van Buren While
canvassing New York:
I have been engaged in an active canvass in
this State. I have had the good fortune—and
it is a good fortune in these days of railroad
disaster and massacres—to meet no accident.
I have met no loas, except last night when my
carpet-bag was stolen from the oars. I do not
mean to say that it was stolen by a Republican.
But I do mean (o say that no Democrat ever
would have taken it. It was not a case for
any mistake, for it was marked with my name
in various places, and the contents of it would
disclose to almost anybody whose property it
w«a I by no means intend to charge upon
A Lady Saved by ker Waterfall.
The Cleveland Leader has the credit of discov
ering that some' good has resulted from the
wearing, by the ladies, of that hideous article
yclept “wa'erfall” ou the back of the head. A
runaway occurred.iu that city a day or two ago,
during whieba lafiy was thrown out of tbe vehi
cle, striking her head upon tbe pavement. Bnt
we will let the Leader tell its own story:
A horse came dashiug along, attached to a
light baggy emtamiog a fashionably dressed
young lady. Parties rushed into the road to stop
the frantic animal, but their presence made no
impression upon him.
The brute’s imagination waa fired,and Io, stung
by tbe gad fly, did not make much better time.
The color of the lady’s cheek denoted that she
was frightened, but she clung to the “ribbons”
with firm resolution nevertheless. In vain, how
ever; the borse turned a corner just by our in
formant, when the whirl upset the buggr and
precipitated the fair driver to the pavement. She
seemed to tbe spectators to strike on her head,
and their hearts flew into their mouth. They
thought she must be killed. Judge of tbeir sur
prise when she almost instantly regained her
feet, with no apparent harm other than the soil
ing of her clothes and tbe disheveling of her
hair.
Tbe force of tbe fall bad been broken by the
enormous “waterfall” she wore. It, however,
bad been ruined, and she eouid afford its loss
since that cushion saved her life. Tbe barsting
ol it was accompanied with a sharp report, aud
out of tbe “interior” of the contrivance burst
tbe wrecks of a large pin cushion, several pull
oombs, two eggs, a large soft boiled turnip, a big
wad of cotton, and an inflated gas ball of me
dium size.
Important Document Found.
The Portsmouth, N. H., Journal says that a
lady dow residing at Cape Elizabeth, in the viein-
ty of Portland, two or three years since purchas
ed at auction, in Portsmouth, an old mahogany
chair, with a bair cloth cushioned seat, tacked
round with brass nails. Tho prioe paid was fifty
cents. After taking it home, she undertook-the
repair of the cushion, and opening it discovered
some papers, with the whole value of which tbe
public has not been made acquainted. It is said
that an important will of one of the Earl of Der
by’s family wa3 here brought to light, whioh
sent a largo estate to different heirs iroin those
who have inherited it. Information, it is said,
was sent to England, and a spocial messenger was
sent out, who gave the lady a large reward—how
tnnch it is not known, bnt as she was enable^ to
invest fifty thousand dollars in Government
stocks last year, it » thought that she made a
profitable business in her chair speculation.—
Tho name of the lady is Mrs. Mayberry.
General Grant's Beal Name.
Tbe Milwanki News says tbat a prominent and
reliable citizen of Wisconsin was told by Gen.
Sherman, when on his recent visit to Milwankie,
“that Gen. Grant’s real name is Hiram S. Grant,
and not UlysEcs S. Grant, as heis usually designa
ted. Gen. Sherman stated that tho name by which
Gen. Grant goes was acquired by tbe blander of
tbe member of Congress who recommended Gen-
Grant for the military academy, when he banded
in the name of Gen. Grant to the Secretary of
War. After his appontment to West Point the
embryo Lieutenant General endeavored to secure
a correction of the error, but the officer* of the
academy declined to do so for the wantof author-
ty, and referred the matter to the War Depart
ment, where for some reason it was neglected.—
The modest stndent of military tactics finally
flanked the difficulty by assuming tbe name
which Rccidant and the offioial record assigned
him. His mother, however, nevor forgot to call
him ‘Hiram,’ and Ulyssos never fails to respond
to tbe ‘eall.’ Whatever of truth there may be in
the statement we cannot say.
Seasatisns of a Balloonist.
A balloonist says;
The sensations as we sail in our upward course
is one ol intense pleasure. Even were there not
a landscape of unequaled beauty beneath and
around ns, to entrance the eye' and wrap tbe
senses in delight, tbe feeling itself is sufficient to
make one supremely happy. Without a thought
of care in the world, without a fear, we feel as
if our bodies bad been left behind, and only our
spirit, disenthralled of mortal trappings, is here.
Happiness has reached its seme. This is
pleasure's maximum,. It is not a sensatian of
being carried; do there is not a thought' ot the
balloon itself. We feel endned with motive
power, and imagine, if even on tbe outside, we
will be safe. Prudence tell us. however, not to
try the experiment, as it might prove dangerous.
There is none of tbat feeling of deafness, which
French aeronauts talk to us of, none of tbat re
moval of the pressure of tbe air we hear so much
of. There is nothing unpleasant whatever
about the sensation, although it is necessarily a
novel one.

Marriage Notice*.
A Western paper gives the toil?wing notice:
All notice of marriage, where no bride
cake is sent, will be set np in small type, and
poked into some outlandish corner of the pa
per. Where a handsome piece of. cake is sent
it will bo put conspicuously in large letters ;
when gloves or other bride favors are added, a
piece of illustrative poetry will be given in ad
dition. When, however, the editor attends the
cotemony to f/rojiria persona, and kisses the
bride, it will have especial notice—very largo
type, and the most appropriate poetry that can
be begged, borrowed, stolen, or coined from
