Lee’s Order to His Troops on the Occasion of His Surrender to Gen. Grant. Headquarters Army Northern Virginia, Adril 10, 1865. General Order, No. 9. After four years of hard service, marked by unsurpassed courage and fortitude, the Army of North ern Virginia has been compelled to yield to overwhelming numbers and resources. I neednot tefl the brave survivors of so many hard- fought battles, who have remain ed steadfast to the last, that I have consented to this result from no distrust of them; but feeling that valor and devotion could ac complish nothing that would com pensate for the loss that must have attended the continuance of the contest, I determined to avoid the useless sacrifice of those whose past services have endeared them to their countrymen. By the terms of agreement, of ficers and men can return to their homes and there remain until ex changed. You will take with you the satisfaction that proceeds from the consciousness of duty faithfully performed; and I earn estly pray that a merciful God will extend His blessings to your country, and with a grateful re membrance of your kind and gen erous consideration for myself, I bid you all an affectionate fare well.

Sage Advice Of A Father. General Johnston’s Order To The Ar my Of Tennessee. Headquarters Army Tennessee, Near Greensboro’, N. C., April 27th, 1865. General Order, No.18. By the terms of a military con vention made on the 26th inst., by Major Gen’l W. T. Sherman, U. S. A., and Gen’] J. E. John ston, C. S. A., the officers and men of this army are to bind themselves not to take up arms against the United States until properly relieved from that obli gation, and shall receive guaran ties from the United States offi cers against molestation by the United States authorities so long as they observe that obligation and the laws in force wjiere they reside. For these objects duplicate mus ter rolls will be made out imme diately, and after the distribution of the necessary papers, the troops will be marched under their offi cers to their respective States, and there be disbanded, all retaining private property. The object of this convention is pacification to the extent of the authority of the commanders who made it. Events in Virginia which broke every hope of success by war, imposed on its General the duty of sparing the blood of our gallant soldiers and saving our country from fnther devastation and ruin. J. E. Johnston, General. Hay lozenges are the popular confectionary among army horses in the Philippines and South Af rica, says the Youth’s Companion. The food, or rather the form of it, is a Yankee invention, called into existence by the circumstance of war in a country lacking good roads. Hay put up in the ordina ry bale cannot be transported on horseback, because of its weight and bulk. It is therefore com pressed by powerful machinery into disks a foot or eighteen inch es iii diameter and two inches thick. The disks are packed into rolls, like the lozenges the train boys sell, and hung in slings from the horse’s back, one on each side. A single lozenge, when broken up and opened out, makes a meal for a horse or mule, and will cure him of that hungry feeling as quickly as a mangerful of fresh hay. The compactness of the new bale also means a great saving in freight. Tho lingering cough following grippe calls for One Minute Cough Guru.

Never tell a lie. If you wish to put one in circulation, get it published. A lie cannot live, but it takes one a blamed long time to fade out of print. “Always read your contract.

Environ ment will do a great deal for a man. For example, flour and wa ter in a china jug is cream sauce; in a pail on the sidewalk it is bill- sticker’s paste. “Don’t forget that there’s a time for everything and that everythiug should be done in its proper time. Never hunt for bar gains in umbrellas on a rainy day. “You may make enemiei. If you know who they are don’t men tion them. Silence is golden; it saves the money that might oth erwise be spent in defending libel suit. If you don’t know who they are, well, abuse lavished on a concealed enemy is like char ity indiscriminately bestowed. It’s a good thing wasted.” 414 & 416 Third Street, How Young Men Succeed. . Samuel Sloan, the great rail way magnate, struck the right key note in a recent issue of the Sat urday Evening Post: “I know of no better guide for the young man who wants to steer clear of failure' than the Bible. The good old Book has lost none of its helpfulness in the on roll ing of the centuries, and is to-day the best chart, extant for the youthful voyager on life’s stormy sea. It is the custom of some men to sneer at the teaching of Holy Writ, but they are not the men who have attained the great est heights in either business or society. Let a young man study the wisdom of the Bible, and ac quaint himself with its naked, strenuous truth, and he cannot go far wrong in his everyday life. Fortified by a sound, moral self training, the young business men of to-day will never know the real bitterness of failure, and the lives of those who go down in the strug gle for existence will be to such a young man a perpetual wonder.’ The Danube flows through coun tries in which 52 languages and di alects are spoken.
