ter tho tiring ceased we descended
to the bank of a small crook and
conversed with the opposing cavalry
skirmishers. They informed us that
General Lee had gone up to the
town to meet Gen. Grant. They
met at the house of Mr. McLean.
There were no apple trees near the
houso that I could see—nothing but
locust, walnut and willow trees. I
made a sketch of tho houso, which I
have iu my possession.
Tho next morning the memorable
tenth of April, 1865, I with those
who went out to the edge of tho
town with General Grant to meet
Lee and make final arrangements
iu regard to tho surrender. It had
been raining that morning, but at
tho timo they mot it was not raining
General Grant halted ou the level
E ;'ouud at the top of a knoll. Gen.
eo advanced up tho hill from the
direction of his camp, which lay in
the valley and ou the hillsides be
yond. A little way down tho knoll,
where his pickets were posted, he
left his stall' officers and came on
alone. As he roached the level, Gen.
Grant stepped his horse briskly out
to meet him. Both Generals raised
their hats iu sulute, drawing near
each other conversod for more than
an hour. Lee appeared to do all
tho talking. Grunt sat perfectly
still, with his cloak thrown careless
ly back and his handH crossed ou
the pommel of his saddle. I dis
mounted and nmdo my sketch, not
more than twouty feet from them at
tho time. The next morning I fin
ished the sketch by putting iu tho
surroundings. Grant wore the su
gar- loaf shaped, stiff-rimmed regu^
latiou hat, covered with oil-cloth,
and had ou a blue cloak. His pan
taloons were inside the boots. Loe
had on a white felt hut, with the
rim turned up flat against the crown
on both sides. He wore a blue cloak,
or talma, and his pantaloons inside
his hoots, and rode a gray horse.
After conversing some time they
rode away, accompanied by the stall
of each, to the McLean mansion.
0.—And it was not an apple tree
they met under?
Mr K.—The tree under which
they met at the edge of the town
was not an apple tree.
0.—Was McLean’s houso head

Mr. K.—I think not. I under
stood the day before, tho 9th. that
Lee was waiting nt the house of
McLean when Grant came up. I

An Arab Legend.
Tho Arabs have a fable from which
we may learn a lesson.
Once upon a timo a miller, short
ly after he had lain down for a nap,
was startled by a camel’s nose being
thrust iu at the door of his *houso.
It is very cold outside,” said the
camel, “pray allow me to get my
nose in.
The miller was an easy kind of a
man, so the nose was left iu.
“The wind is very sharp.” sighed
the camel; “pray allow uty neck to
get inside."
This request was also granted,
and tho neck was thrust in.
“How fast the rain begins to full!
I shall get wet through. Will \ ou
let me place my shoulders under
cover?”
This, too, was granted; and so
the camel asked for a little more
until I10 had pushed his whole body
into the house.

Mr. President and Brother Mem
bers of this Association.—You have
called upon me to address you at
this meeting, but while I know my
inability to address this or auy oth
er organization, I shall not attempt
to make any excuse or apology for
this my first effort. I have written
what is termed an essay, and have
thosen as my subject Unity. Though
the subject may bo regarded by some
ns insignificant, yet it has a full defi
nition and signifies strength, aud
without it, there cannot bo strength.
We have here, a united brother
hood of mechanics, some who are as
good as you cau find in any part of
tho State, some who are as compe
tent to perform their different bran
ches of mechanism, ns you will find
in the United States. Now if you
deserve this meed of praise from
man, I hope it will prove an in
centive to cause you all, with one
accord, to approve of tho plan which
I shall suggest to you, and I am con
fident that if you do adopt this plan,
it will result in good to the Associa
tion aud to society, and will secure
the approval of Him who is greater
than any living man.
Wo should bo more closely united
and bring about that stato of feel
ing which we all owe to each other.
We have now about twenty-five
names inscribed upon our books, all
iu good standing. Suppose each
one of us save, say at least, ten
cents per week, and deposit with
our secretary for charitable purpos
es, at our monthly meetings, we
would have ten or twelve dollars
on hand, besides the duos and fines
which we have to pay to keep up
our organization, ns I have said,
we would donate that umount to
somo charitable purpose. It is said
“Charity ought ulwnys to begin at
home,” well, we will begin at home
when we see proper. Suppose ono
of our members is taken sick and
confined to his room for a consider
able length of time, we all know that
he is dependent upon his daily labor
for his support, our committee ou
tho sick, of course, is required to
isit him, and if they see that he is
in need of money, then give him
the right to draw from the treasur
er from tho amount deposited for
thut purpose. I for ono think that
we ought to take some action iu re
gard to this matter, aud I do hope
thut you all will agree with me, for
we do not kuow who will bo tho first
thut will need assistance.
You all kuow that times are dull,
scarcely auy work to do, and
that money is very scarce but I do
think that each one of us cau save
forty cents a month and scarcely miss
it, to appropriate to tiiis cause,
which is indeed a noble one. As
we are united here as an organiza
tion, let us work for each other and
do all that is in our power to help
one another ulong. Then, and not
until then, will our association be
crowned with success. I for one,
wish to see this association succeed,
and all it lacks, is for ns to take
hold and push forward and make nn
organization of it, that wo will nil
bo proud of; but if you do not take
hold aud feel an interest in it, you
then need not expect us to suc
ceed.
The physicians have their asso
ciations, the merchants have theirs
and why not mechanics, ns well nB
all other branches of trade and pro
fession? Go North, and you will
fiud them in all cities, and the north
ern trade is carried on principally
by mechanics, but here, (South)
they aro hardly recognized as being
equal to a great many, who make
their fortunes off of the poor labor
ing class of mechanics.
The mechanics South, have to
interest to send to other markets. I
do not mean that wo ought to work
against the merchants at home, but
we ought to devise some means by
which we can stop so much of this
sending to other markets for that
which they can purchase at home
for almost tho same amount of mon
ey. I have detained you long enough,
aud hope to do better iu the future,
if 1 am ever called upon again.
In conclusion, let me ask of you
to work for each others benefit, and
lot our motto be,“United we stand,
divided, wo fall.

The following singular story comes
from Monroe, Wis., and is vouched
for as strictly true by prominent res-
idents of that place: Nellie Black
ford is thirteen years old, and never
has been a robust child. Some two
months ago or more she supposed
her mother to be dying, and ran
noarly two miles for neighbors to be
present. She returned exhausted,
was taken down to the bed with ill
ness, suffering greatly for many
weeks afterward. A physician gave
all possible attention, hut she con
tinued to grow worse. The Doctor
finally declared that no human pow
er could save her, and that she must
die. Nellie, too, expressed a desire
not to live, saying tuat she wished
to go to God and the angels ere her
dear afflicted mother left her a help-
loss orphan. On Monday afternoon
the 16th ultimo, the friends and
neighbors assembled to see her pass
away. About three o’clock her ex
tremities became very cold, and they
thought her gently and happily pas
sing “over the river.” All at once
a change passed over her features,
a sweet smile illuminated her coun
tenance, und the most intense de
light seemed portrayed and lingered
on her face till it fairly shone. Words
fail to express the happiness, con-
teutmeutand glory there depicted.
A continual chunge soemed passing
over her quiet face, all telling of
something bright aud beautiful pas
sing before her enraptured eyes. All
at once, to the astonishment of all,
he raised her little hands iu the at
titude of listening intently, changing
her position continually and seem
ing to listen with all the power of
her being. She continued iu this
state for noaly three hours, seeming
ly perfectly unconscious of all sur
rounding objects and souuds. She
seemed gently to rouse from this
condition. Sho opened her eyes,
and seeing her mother standing near
a sweet and heavenly smile passod
over her face. Her mother stooped
aud asked her if she heard sweet
music. Nellie had spoken before of
hearing music when iu her sinking
spells.
And now comes the strange and
miraculous story of this little daugh
ter of affliction us related by herself:
“I seemed as though I was walk
ing tlirongh a pleasant country till I
canto to a place thut surely was
Heaven. There were streets all
paved with gold, and such beautiful
fountains as clear as crystals that
seemed to rise up and then fall in
blight sparkling drops. I laid down
on a soft grussy hank to rest, near a
fountain, where my grandpa, who has
been d ad six years, came to ino
aud said I should go back to take
care of my little sister till sho wns
large enough to take care of herself.
My little brother, whom I had never
seen, came to me and told me he
was my brother, and he played such
sweet music for me ou a golden
harp. A crown of gold encircled
his head. Ho was all dressed in
gloaming white, and so was grandpa.
And he did not look so old as when
here, and his eyes were perfect, not
blind of the one he used to be. His
voice sounded so familiar.
“Then, oh 1 I can hardly tell, I
saw Jesus all robed iu white, a
duzzling crown upon his head. He
sat on sncli a beautiful high seat that
was on a raised platform. All seem
ed of gold, aud there wore beautiful
trees, flowers, streams and fountains
of clear water around the throne
and everywhere. Angels were fly
ing around, bright crowns upon their
heads, and golden harps iu their
hands, and they played the sweet
est music that I ever heard. I felt
sorry at first when grandpa
Ail Interesting Story
A Yoiiiik liiuly Lost to Her Kin*
ilreil for About Twenty Yenn,
mill round at loit by Her
Brother*
We frequently read in novels
about little children who have been
lost, and after a number of years re
covered by their relatives or friends,
but it is not often such things come
within our knowledge as real occur
rences.
Quite a sensation was produced
iu our town last week by the an-
nouncment that a young gentleman
had arrived in our midst claiming
as a sister one of the young ladies
of the place, who had lived among
us for a number of years as the
adopted daughter of a citizen, but
of whose parentage no one previous
ly kuow anything, not even the young
lady herself.
Some years previous to the war a
gentleman by the name of Zimmer
man died in Greenbrier county, Vir
ginia, leaving a wife and three small
children, one of them a mere infant.
Tho grief of the wife was so intense
at the loss of hor husband that her
reason became impaired and labor
ing uuder a violent fit of insanity
she loft her home and friends secret
ly, taking her infant daughter with
her, and leaving the other two chil
dren, a daughter and a son, behind
her. Those who felt an interest in
the fate of the unfortunate woman
and child supposed that they had
been drowned, as no trace of them
could be discovered. And so the
matter rested until the daughter and
son left behiud had grown up, when
by some means they were put upon
the traok of the missing ones. They
found out that the mother had
wandered away with her child to
Bedford county, Va., that there the
authorities had taken charge of her,
and that she had been sent to one
of the lunatic asylums of the State,
where she had died, after remain
ing about two years. The only
thing then to be done was to find, if
possible, the lost sister. It waB
ascertained that the child had been
left with a Mr. Wade, of Bedford
county, and an effort was made to
learn from him its whereabouts.
Letters were written to him, but he
declined to give any response. Ef
forts were made through other par
ties to obtain information from him,
but for a long timo he declined to
give auy. At last, however, he was
prevailed upon, and told that by
consent of court he had given the
child to a gentleman and lady, who
promised to adopt her as their own
child, and never to let her kuow
thut they were not her parents, he
promising to keep the secret also.
Armed with all the necessary
information and proofs of relation
ship, Mr. M. \V. Zimmerman came
to our town last week and made
known his relationship to his sister,
who had lived in our community for
more than ten years as the daughter
of Captain J. V. Deaton, known to
the world as Miss Jessie Deaton.
Tho young lady about three years
ago had found out that she was not

The friends of the young lady are
deeply gratified at the unlooked for

The unpleasant odor produced by
perspiration is frequently the source
of vexation to persons who are sub
ject to it. Nothing is simpler than
to remove this odor much more ef
fectually than by the application of
such unguents and perfumes as are
in use. It is only necessary to pro
cure some of the compound spirits
of ammonia, aud place about two
table-spoonfuls in a basin of water.
Washing the face, hands and arms
with this leaves the skin as clean,
sweet and fresh as one could wish.
The wash is perfectly harmless and
very cheap. It is recommended on
the authority of an experienced
physician. A bottle of ammonia is
also one of the most necessary things
to have always on hand. It will re
move grease or soiled spots from al
most any goods without injury, is
invaluable in cleaning all woolen
goods, and one of the very best
washing fluids is made of equal
f arts of ammonia and turpentine,
t makes rubbing the clothes al
most unnecessary, and also makes
them very white without making
them tender. House plants are
stimulated in their growth and
blooming by watering them witli
warm water, to which is added a lit
tle ammonia. Two spoonfuls to a
quart of water is sufficient.—Ex.
