Lee was bom at Stiytfonl, Jn 1806. His family has been distin guished in Virginia for two hundred years. Two of his grand uncles were signers of the Declaration of Inde pendence. His father was the famous 1 ‘Light Horse Harry, ” of revolutionary inme, who served several tertns in the Federal Congress and ns Governor of Virginia, and whose first wife was also ft Lee. Robert E. Lee was the issue of a second marriage—the second son of Henry Leo and bis wife Anne, , daughter of Charles-Carter, of Shirley. As, however, ho borrows no greatness from his ancestry, but was himself the '‘greateskof a great- line,” we shall say- no more as to his family. 'Robert E.Jjce entered West Point Academy in 18*25, and graduated at the end of theusual term without having -fed a demerit mark. 'In 1829 ho was appointed brevet second lieutenant, and assigned to the corps of typograph ical engineers. He scryed for several years in thisAorps.' In 1832 lie was married to Miss : Custis, ttie daughter of George Washington Parke Custis, the adopted son of George Washing ton. In 1836 he was made first lieu tenant, and. in 1838, captain. During the Mexican war ho was on lho- staff .first of General Wool, nnd then Gener al Scott, ns chief engineer. At the batik* of Cerro .Gordo, April 18,1847, he was breveitiil Major for gallantry. At ^:Chepultej>ec, lie was wounded September 13, 1847, .and was ; jhrevetted lieutenant colonel- General Scott repeatedly spoke of him; in his dispatches, as remarkahlo for hie gal lantry. Colonel Lee was next appoint ed q member of the- Board of Engiri- «ers. In 1852-lie became auperintend- - eat of the West Point Academy. In 1855, he was assigned to service in a 'cavalry, regiment, wtoch took him to the West. In 1859, he was sent to Jisrner’s Ferry to put down the John Drown-i-aid March 16, 1861, he was made colonel of cavalry in the United ihates army. His rcsignition of the office in that army was dated April 20, 1861. ~~ ' Early in 1861, the convention of Virginia selected General Lee as com- mender-in-chief of the forces ' of tliis less importance during 1864, and the beginning of 1865. April 2d, 1865, occurred the evacuation of Richmond, and began the retreat of General Lee’s army from Petersburg. April 9, he surrendered a skeleton of an army to overwhelming numbers. And thus ended his military career. In August, 1865, General Lee was made President of Washington Col lege. His name and fame soon made that: a popular institution. He con tinued to hold the position until his death. THE HOG. HE IS EULOGIZED BY CHICAGOAN. A writer in the Chicago Post grows eloquent in praise of the hog. We quote: The hog has been in disrepute for a long time,- at least ever since he began to play-Ids part- in the ancient relig ions. It is fashionable to ridicule and denounce him, to call him a filthy brute, and to insist that he is the dire author of leprosy, consumption, can cer, scrofula, and the most disgusting diseases that- afflict humanity.- Tins is the teaching of prejudice not of science. The hog outlives all hostility, and laughs, so to speak, at the success of Ids slanderers. Still is -the reeking roast pig .the sacrifice of many a din ner-table and still is, the rural ceiling festooned with the savory sausage and the smoke-lionse fragrant with ham.— We deal with facts not sentiment. The is a true cosmopolite—a citizen of the world. He increases and multiplies and inherits every part of the habita ble globe. He is as ubiquitous as the bat. He dons not stand in high rep ute fordds manners but he is most ac commodating, thriving with equal content in the sty of the rich and the kitchen of the indigent. He wallows sometimes, but naturalists tell us that he does this for the sake of cleanliness wMch. is next to godliness—for the same reason that the Pacific islanders grease themselves. Among his quaint peculiarities are his grunt of satisfac tion and Ms squeal of remonstrance and reproach. He should never be fed till lie stops his squealing; itis the approved method of breaking him of the habit Homer in Ms Odyssey honored the swine-keeper with the confidence of Ulysses—and why not? The hog, culled stupid, is really the most enter prising and sagacious of animals. The gamekeeper of Sir Henry Mildmay actually broke a sow to hunt game in the woods; ahdslie ran in the hunt with wonderful: success. She would track game, band mid stand; and point partridges, pheasants, snipes, and was us skillful as a bred pointer. She would bound in respose to a whittle and would wag her head and squeal “Cursed be he that breedeth and the history of the Maccabees tells us that the scribe Eleazer walked straight- to the tortures of persecution rattier than eat a slice of spare-rib, he roically preferring the martyr’s stake to the pork steak. This animal has' been under the bun of many religions.- The Mohammedans leamed_fe,nT the Jews, as the Jeurs ljqiL previously learned from the Egyptians, to hate him because M:-perversely declined to -‘rf>ew4hg ffid;” but lie still to masticate and -diges't coi pottage ibrjke course of a year.- The hog is the product of nature’s most economical thought.

THk method is, to take Noi ’j5, shot, after carefully washing them with sweet oil, and give a desert spoonful every half hour. He claims that in five or six hours the vomiting ceases. The edi tors of the ‘Pacific Medical and Surgi cal Journal,’ relate the following anec dote, illustrative to this treatment: A clergyman was token very sick and stopped at the house of a good old lady, who was familiar with the treat ment, who stated that she had no shot, but a bullet wMch would answer • the purpose. She gave it to the divine, who after being assured of its efficacy, swallowed it, and to his joy and sur prise found that in a very short' time he was entirely relieved of the colia— Before leaving, he expressed some, doubt to the ; old-lady about the piece the bowels. “Oh, my,”. she replied^ ‘ “you need have no anxiety about that, as it has been through me ten or twelve times."

Mr. Pennington, a stout, hemthy farmer,'had "a Slight chill last Sunday. The day before he was in excellent health. Monday morning he felt the approach of another chill, and lay down on the bed. After lying awhile he remarked that he had heard that spider webs “were good for the chills.” He rose from the bed, and gathering from the walls or ceiling of the room a web, in wMch were three “spider balls” as they are colled swal lowing them. Immediately there was heard within his chest a faint sound as if the ball had burst, and in ten minutes he was dead. Very soon Ms throat, lipsjand the whole of Ms face were gte&tty swollen by the action of the poison. Who has not seen hun dreds of yo:.ng ipitleri, not i s 'arge as a pin-heud swarm from one of these balls whefi broken open? And who but this ill-fated Mississippian would ever have thought of swallowing a spoonful of them as n remedy for chills or for anything else ? The differences between the Demo cratic and the Rndiciil parties are thus concisely snmmed up: ' The-Radical party’ is the' party' of false pretence. :; '' It is the party of heavy tox<?k Itis the party of. canal, whiskey, and railroad rings.

Our bm- tors and writers are of the same pover ty, and, in this rag-fair, neither the imaginations, the great awakening power, nor the morals, creative of genius and of men are addressed. But though orator and poet be of this hun ger party, the capacities remain. We must have symbols. The child asks yon for a story, and is thankful for the poorest. It is not poor to him, but radiant with meaning. The - mttn asks, for a novel—that is, asks leave for a few hours to be a poet, and to paint things as they ought to be. The youth asks for a poem.
