Tbe Richmond Enquirer says. “A'gentle man just from Appomattox Court House in forms us that ‘there is nothing left of the ap ple tree under which General Lee surreu dered, but a red hole in the ground, and it is feared that nnless the hole is fenced in, that also will be removed by curiosity-seek ers. ’ It is a subject worthy of notice, 100, that the apple tree alluded to was the largest tree in the world, being at least forty times the bulk of the celebrated California oak, which was about the sire of the citadel of Ham. About nine hundred and seventeen cords of this apple tree have already been distributed over the United States in the shape ol walking canes, fishing poles, um brella handles, policemen’s clubs, work boxes, sewing machines, writing desks, vest buttons, corks, charms, lead pencils, pen handles, toddy muddlers, tooth-picks, to bacco pipes and snuff boxes. The number ot persons felicitating in these heroic relics is estimated at about twenty-eight millions, which is equivalent to the number ot rebels killed, wounded and missing in the late war, according to the published statements of northern newspapers, from statistics gather ed at the time. In fact, this apple tree en joys as wide a circulation as any bogus medi cine in ixistence, and but, for the fact that Gen. Lee didn't surrender under any apple tree at all, it might be appropriately placed, photographically among the historic archives ot the country, as the greatest tree in all history. It is useless to attempt a conviction of the truth so long as the stock on hand of the great Appomattox apple tree is unex hausted, and perhaps, even when that sup ply gives out—for the destruction of apple trees in New England, when the Maine law excited a prejudice against brandy, renders such an exhaustion probable—history will claim the original as the rightful possessor of the fame ot the locality, and the surren der of General Lee under an apple tree will be fixed in the national records and the pic torial reports from the Patent Office on Pomology and Agriculture.” A New York paper notices the fact that some firm in that city, seekers after apple tree notoriety, had presented to Mrs. Gen. Grant a variety of fancy articles manufac tured by them from the “dientical” Appo mattox apple-tree. Among the aiticles was a dress comfr,about the size of a small gar den rake, which, it is stated Mrs. G. would wear at the the next public soiree. Has no cast Y ankee succeeded in preserving some of the seeds of apples borne by that apple tree. When apple-tree timber is exhausted, the seeds would command any price. —Think what danger you~escape when you escape great prosperity. Gold is often a hardener of the heart..
