7hr 1 wheat crop fi a failure, and the oaU
are !ov, but thin. The proapect It not food
but itill the farmer! are hopeful. It la won
derful how much hope and faith they hare
got. Rowland aaja he haa aeen harder timea,
and he know! folka who era worn off then he
it, for he bu corn and meat enough to do him
until he makea tome more. The count? poor-
boute ia right up the road a few milea, but It
ia the hardest work in the world to get any
body to patron lie it. Moil everybody around
here are hard run, but thoy are not eufferlng.
They don't have many comlorte, and never
think of lukorlee, but they are healthy and
atrong and cheerful. Rowland aaya
there le nothing worrying him
in particular, except a doaen old jaw
teeth that la jumping around, and he can’t take
time to go to town to a doctor. The garden
haa come In at a good time, and it don’t take
hut a half pound of bacon to greaae the dinner
po*.. Sprint chlckena are alepping around the
back yard and the young roaetera are trying to
crow- Dewberrlea and huckleberrioa and
eberrlet have come, and peaohea and applet
are eloee at hand, and to the children are
happy, and if they are it don’t matter to much
whether we old folka are happy or not. I wish
we all bad more of a childiab unconcern
about tba miaeriea of lile, the misery of ap
prehension, the fear of trouble that never
comet, but than our fears and apprehensions
are somewhat excusable, for moat of them
come from anxiety about the children. They
are founded In love and tenderneaa. We
make mistakes, I know, In doing too much for
their pleasure, a mistake that too often brings
them and ut to grief, and the repentance ia all
the more tad becauae it was the mletaka of
parental love. Your own people know it and
feel It, or thoy wouldn't havo pledged seventy
thousand dollars to the Y. M. C. A. to bo
expended for the protection of the youth
of Atlanta from the vlcea end temptations of
tba age and the placo. We have nevbr known
B pledge to universal, so liberal, to earnoal,
and it ahowa the general alarm. It la tho
voice of a deep eoncern. The building and all
Its appointments may fall of lie object, may
fall abort of public expectation in ita roaults,
but the gift will not. It has already had an
effect. The young men havo etoppod to think.
They tay lo Ihemtelvea, "Wbat does all thia
mean? What are all theae poople making
auch a hits about? Am I in danger? Maybe
1 am, and don't know it.” If ia lik'o
the temperance boom. Uood people
get up all sorla of tomperanco
concerns. Many are foolish and all aro fail
ures in a meaaure, but the very effort shows
the universal danger and does good. Then
let our toad people go on and heap on. Make
vice and intemperance odious anu unpopular.
You may mako blunders and mistakes about
remediea, but while all agree that vice and in
temperance ia a vital, fatal and aocial disease
and that our yonng men aro In danger, the
moat foolish effort to aave the palleuta will
have respect. The afforta shorn poblio senti
ment, public fear and publinaympathy. There
la no malice In lt| It ia all love.
Rut atill a man can’t help thinking wliat a
power ol trouble and what a tight of monoy
could be saved if parents would begin soonor
to hedge and fortify. Home influence ia worth
more Than a *7b,ooo house.
•‘Too late, too late,” will bo the knell of
many a young man. “Your house ia flno and
attractive, but it don’t auit me.” The parents
need to be waked up more than the children.
Where la your boy to-night? What have you
offered him to stay at homo?
Bay what? A cheerleaa fireside
and a domestic quarrel? Are you social
with your children? What do they read, or
wbatdolkey study? Do they love you and
honor you, or are they waiting for your
money ?
Charity it a good thing—a holy thing, but
charity makea blunders—awful blunders. I
tee in a London paper that the society for con
verting the Jowa has an annual inoome of
three hundred thousand dollars, anil the in-
rome was ell spent last year In converting throe
Jaws. A fourth wss willing to be a Christian, hut
his wilo would not oome with him, and so ho
stayed away. What pililbl folly. Tha Jaw
la neither a heathen nor a tool, lie la smart
and aehidarly. Ho lives and breathes on tha
light ol history and revelation, and haa for
agaa, and yal wa ran ana a stupid iiraaurap-
tiouaaealottrying to teach Judah V. ltctiia-
min and conveit him. If wa believe revela
tion at all we muet believe that the Jewa are
the peculiar people nt (foil, and that Ood
will lake care of ihrin. lie has Isken esre of
them in ths past. No race has So wonderful
a history. If thslr religion Is wroug thoy
hsvs prot|>sred under it, and are prospering
still. 1 would not spsnd teu
dollars lo convert them to Christianity,
for 1 would fool assured that Iheconvort wss
either a fool or a hypocrite. Let tbo whole
world bate light and be oonvartad to lavs end
justice end mercy, end humanity, and thon if
Christianity doca not follow waoannot help it.
The Christianity that does not inculoata these
virtues ia a poor rail, 1
that permit! one man
bis poor nabor Is suffering tor bread, is a poor
thing to preach to tha heathens. Christianity
aaya that the love of money
it ths root of all evil, but atill all
Christians love it—moat all—I know three who
profess sanctification, but they love money,
and they make no real sacrifice for tha church.
Wa all love money and want all wa can gal.
Coma keen it and tome spend it, but wa all
banker alter money. I have lived a long time,
but I have never scan a man who made a real
eacrifiee for the church. There may be tout
poor widows who give their mite., but the
men do oot. Wap' * — —

that wss not giving to too church or for

to mova to town—Via thinking
•bout moving my self. No wonder
that tbo young roan juit out of achool or col*
lego baa a horror or farming. Why there if
more money in Atlanta than there ia in all the
counties north of the Chattahoochee river.
Over one bund red people gave one hundred
dollars to the Y. M. C. A., and several gave
one tbouiand. Where did it all come from and
how waa it made. It does look like the money
tree won't grow in the country but the coun

The schedule of the Washington branch

We had pointed out to us the house in which
President Jell Pavia and bis cabinet met for
the last time. It stands facing the courthouse
about fifty yards from the Arnold house, and
It ia now owned and occupied by Goneral B.
W. Heard as a residence. At that time it waa
a banking house. It if a solid brick structure
with slate roof and haa a spiral iron stairway
leading to the upper story ffrom tho outside.
Near by stands a rambling old wooden build-

Beecher’s •enmtlouallsm consists In pre

up old and disputed toploa for discussion, and lu
reopening old sores. The ooruettat who leads the

plays on them anoeasfngly. He does not seek to
educate In religious matters. He select* a text,
and around that he weave* a garland of words,
and here and there be Intersperse* odd anecdotes
and stories that sometime cause a smile or a tear.
Beecher does none ot this. He 1r above It, and
there are some things that he will not plunge
boldly Into. Talmage will undertake anything,
for notoriety. He would writes Bible if he wero

paisa of Vie)uburg Dstalied-Th* Firs:
Battle of tb* War-Other XuokUnts,
New Toe*, Juno 8.—General Grant's book,
to be published in a few months, will contain
the following reminiscences of Lee's surren
der:
I found General Lee had been brought Into our
lines and conducted to a house belonging to Mr.
McKean, and was there with one of his start offi
ce» waiting my arrival. The bead of his column
waa occupying a bill, a portion of which was an
apple orchard, across a little valley from the court’
house. Hberldan'a forces were drawn up in line
of battle on the crest ol a bill on tbe south side of
the same valley.
TH* APPLE TREE STORY,
Before stating what took place between General
Lee and myself I will give all there iaof thenarrf
tive of General Lee and the famous apple tree.
Wars produce many itorles of fiction, some
of (which are told until they are believed. The
war of the rebellion waa fruitful
in tbe aame way. The atory of the apple
tree ia one ol those fictions, with a slight founda
tion of facta. As I have said, there waa an apple
orchard on the aide of tbe bill occupied by the
confederate forces. Banning diagonal)/ op tbe
hill was a wagon road, which at one point ran
very near one of the trees, ao that the wheels
that fide had cut off the roots of the tree, which
made a little embankment. General Babcock re
ported to me that when ho drat met General Lee
he was sitting upon this embankment, with bis
feet In tho road and leaning against tho tree. It
waa then that Lee waa conducted Into tbe house
where I fint met him. I had known General Lee
In the old army, and bad served with him In the
Mexican war, but did not suppose, owing to
tbe difference in our ages and rank, that
he would probably remember me, while! would
remember him moro distinctly, because hews*
chief engineer on the staff of General Scott In the
Mexican war. When I had left camp that morn<
Jag I had Dot cxpcctcdlthelrcsultio soon,that then
waxttaklng place, and consequently was In rough
garb, and I believe without a sword, as I usual
ly waa when on horseback on the field, wearing
a soldier blouse for a coat, with the shoulder straps
of my rank to indicate who I was to the army.
THE MEETING WITH LEE.
When I went lnto;the house I^onnd General Lee.
Wo greeted each other, and after shaking hands
took our scats. What bis feelings were Ido not
know. Being a man of much dignity and with
an Impenetrable face, it was impossible to say
whether he felt Inwardly glad that tbe end had
finally come, or whether be felt sadly over the
rcsolt and waa too manly to show It. Whatever
his feelings were they wore entirely concealed
from observation, but my own feelings, which
had been quite apparent on tho reception ol hit
letter, were tad and depressed. I felt like any<
thing rather than rejoicing at tho downfall of a
foe that had fought so long and gallantly, and
had;suffercd so much for tbe cause which I be
lieved to be one of tho wont for which
a people ever fought, and
which thero was uot the least
pretext. I do not qncatlon, however, the sincerity
of the great mass of those who were opposed to
us. General Lee was dressed in full uniform, en
tirely new, and wearing a sword of considerable
value, very likely the aword that had been pre
sented by the state of Virginia. At all events It
was an entirely different sword from one that
would ordinarily be worn In the field. In my
rough tiavellng suit, which was the uniform ef a
private with the strap* of a general, Z must havo
contrasted very strongly with a man so hand
somely dressed, six feet high, and of faultless
form. But thia was not a matter that 1 thought
until afterwards.
Ali'KOACIUHO Tn* SURRENDER.
General Lee and I soon foil Into conversation
about the old army times. Ho remarked that he
remembered mo very well, In the old arihy, and
I told him, as a matter of course, X remembored
him perfectly, but owing to tho difference In
years, there being abont sixteen years difference
lu our ages, and our rank, 1 thought It vory likely
I had not attracted hla attention lufilcleutly to be
remembered after such a long period. Our con
venation grew ao pleasant that I almost forgot
the object ol our meeting. General Lee, at that
time, was accompanied by one of hla start offleen,
Colonel Marshall. 1 had all o! my staff with me,
a good portion of whom were In the room during
tho whole ol the Interview.
AH IHCIDEHT OV GENERAL M’l'OOX,
In the article, on the battle ot Shiloh,
which 1 wrote for tho Century Magaztne, I stated
that General A. Me. D. McCook, who commanded
a division of Bull’s army, expressed some uuwil
linfnesa to punuo the enemy on Monday, April
7th, bccauao of the condition of hla troop*. Gen
eral Bndltau. in hla history, also makes the same
atatemcn on my authority. Out of Juatloe to Gen
eral McCook and hla command, I must aay that
they left the point twenty-two miles east of sa
vannah, on tbe morn of the 6th. From the heavy
ralna of a few daya previous, and tbe
trains and artillery, the roads
were necessarily deep in mud, which
made marching alow. The division had not
only marched through this mud tho day before,
bat It bad been In the rain all night without rest.
It waa engaged In tbe battle of the second day,
and did as good service as Ita position allowed.
In fact, an opportunity occurred for It to perform
a conspicuous act of gallantry, which elicited the
highest commendation from the division com
manders in the army of the Tennessee. General
Shermnu, in both his memoirs and report, makes
mention ol the (act. General McCook himself
belonged to a family which furnished many vol
unteers to the army. I refer to theae circumstances
with minuteness, because 1 did General McCook
an Injustice in my article In the Century, though
not to the extent one would suppose from tho
public press. I am not willing to doauy one an
injustice, and If convinced that I have done one,
I am alwava willing to make tbe fullest admis
sion.
ABOUND VICKSBURG.
The Ylcksbnrg newspapers, which w* received
regularly through the court- ty of the rebel pick
ets, said prior to the 4th, lu speaking of the "Yan
kee" boait that they would take dinner to Vicks
burg that day, tkat the beat receipt for cooking a
rabbit was "ketch your rabbit fust" The paper at
this time and for some time previous wa«
printed on tbe plain side of
wallpaper. The last number was printed on the
fourth, and announced that we nad "caught our
rabbit." I have mo doubt that Pemberton com
menced his correspondence on the third with a
two-fold purpose, fint, to avoid an aareult which
he knew would be successful, aud aeoond to pre
vent the capture taking place on the great nation-
al holiday, the anniversary of th* declaration of
American Independence. Holding ont for better
terms, as he did, he defeated hla aim tn the Utter
particular. On the fourth ol July, at the appoint
ed hour, the garrison ol Vicksburg marched out
of their works, and formed a
line In front, sucked arms, aud
marched back in good order. Oar whole
army present witnessed this scene without cheer
ing and without a single offensive remark that I
ever heard of. Bogan’s division, which had ap
preached nearest tbe rebel's works, was the fint
to march in. aud the flag ol one of the leglaunta
of hla division waa soon floating over the court
house.
TuscAxrAXfl* or vicxianw.
Th* campaign of Vicksburg eras suggested and
developed by circumstances. The elections of
Iff* had gone against the prosecution of the war.
Voluntary enlistments had nearly closed, and the
draft bad teen resorted to. This waa restated, and
defeat or a backward movement
would have made Its execution
Impossible. A forward movement to a decisive
victory waa newsary. Accordingly I resolved to
Set below Vicksburg, unite with Banks
_ „ BlUg
batteries and fighting a battle, I received a letter
from Banka. Informing me that be could not be
at Fort Hudson under ten days, and then with
only 15,000 men. Time wsa wortn more than rein
forcements, 1 therefore determined t > pusn into
the interior ol tbe enemy's country. With a Urge
river behind ut.held above and befow by tbs ene
my. rapid movement* were essential to success.
Jadcron waa captured tbedav after toe new com
mander bad arrived, and when tbe large rein
forcements were dal: jexpccted.lA rapid movement
west waa made.and the garrison ol Vtcksbnrg was
met in five battles and badly defeated. Tbe city
was then successfully besieged.
GgANT AND LINCOLN.
No reminiscence of war history will be read
with greater interest than General Grant's ac
count of hit first meeting with Lincoln f and
Lincoln's charge to him.
Although hailing from Illinois myself, the state
of the president, I nad never met Lincoln
until called to the capitol to receive my
commission as lieutenant general.
I knew him, however, very well, and favorably
from accounts given by the officers under me at
the west, who had known him all their lire*. I bad
also read tbe remarkable course of debates bet weea
Lincoln and Douglas a few years before, when
they were rival candidates for the United States
senate. I waa then a resident of Missouri, and
by no means a "Lincoln man" in the contest, but
I recognized hla great ability. In my first Inter
view with Lincoln alone, he stated to me that he
had never professed to be military, or to know
bow campaigns should be conducted, and never
wanted to interfere with them, but that procras
tination on the part of the commanders, and tbe
pressure of the people at the north,and of congress
which like tbe poor, "he bad always with him,"
bad forced him into issuing his well-known series
of "executive orders." He did not know but they
were all wrong, and did know that some of them
were. All be wanted or bad ever wanted, he said,
was that some one would take tbe respond olllty
and act and call on him for all the assistance
needed.
THE FIRST RATTLE OF TOE CIVIL WAR.
Ai soon as the enemy saw us they decamped as
fast as their horses would carry them. I kept my
men In rank, .and forbade their entering any
of the deserted houses or taking anything from
them. We halted at nJgb ton tbe road, and pro
ceeded next morning at an early hour. Harris
had been encamped In a creek bottom for tbe take
of being near the water. Tbe hills on either aide
of tbe creek extended to a considerable belgth,
possibly more than one hundred feet. As we ap
proached tbe brow of the hill from which it was
expected we could see Harris’s camp, and possibly
find his men ready formed to meet us. my heart
kept getting higher and higher until It left to me
aa though it waa la my throat. 1 would have
given anything then to have been back In lUiuola
but 1 had not the moral courage to halt and con-
slderwhat to do. 1 kept right ou. When we
sumed ita place. It occurred to me at once that
I had never taken before, but it waa oue 1 never
forgot afterward. From that event to the close o
the war I never experienced trepidation upon

Sad Report About Ex-Presidont
Arthur.
Will tlie Fifth and Final Act be a
Tragedy.
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
"Dr. Lincoln, who was at the luneral of cx-Sec-
rctary Frellnghnysen, says ex-Presldent Arthur
looked very unwell, lie la suffering from Bright’
disease. During tho past year It has assumed a
very aggravated form.
That telegram Is Act IV. of a drams written by
cx-President Arthur's phyilclani. lu Act I. he was
made to appear In "Malaria," of which all tne
country wsa told when he want to Florida.
lu Act II. he represented a tired man, worn
down, walking the sands at Gld Point Comfort and
looking eastward over the Atlantic toward Europe
for a longer rest.
The curtain rolls up for Act III. upon tho dis
tinguished actor affected with melancholy from
Bright’i disease, while Act IV. discovers him with
the discaao "In an aggravated form, inrtering In
tensely, (which la unusual), and about to take a
sea voyage."
Just auch as this is the plot of many dramas by
playwrights of the medical profession. They
write the il rat two or three acta with no conception
of what their character will develop in the final
one.
They have not the dlioernment for tracing In the
early, what the latter;Impersonations will be. Not
one physician In a hundred has the adequate mi
croscopic and chemical appliances for discovering
bright 1 * disease in ita early atagoa, aud whonnuny
do finally comprehend that their patleuta are dy

up their Ignorance of it, pronounce the fatality to
have been caused by ordinary allmeuta, whereas
these ailments are really the results of bright's
disease of which they are unconscious victli—

all deaths cx-
yond any doubt, M per cent, of
cept from epidemics, and accidents, result from
diseased kidneys or livers. If tho dying bo distin

deceived, hla physicians perhaps prouounoe the
complaint to be pericarditis, pvxmU.scptl&eaila,
bronchitis, plcurltis, valvular lesions ol the heart,
pneumonia, etc. If thodoccMvd bo leu noted,
''malaria" is now the fashionable assignment ot
tho cause ol death.

It sweeps tbouaandsof women and children Into
untimely graves every year. Tho health gives way
gradually, the strength ia variabtv, tbe appetite
fickle, the vigor gets lew and leas. This Isn't ma
laria—It U the beginning o! kidney disease aad
will end—who does not know how?
No, nature baa not been remiss. Independent
research haa given an Infallible remedy for this
common disorder; but of course the bigoted phy
