Nenrly two years ngo Hon. llokert L.
nodgora of Atlnnln , On. , historian of
tlio Coiifodorulo Veterans association ,
wrote to Hcinun H. Perry , n Hlstnnt ad
jutant gt'iiorul of Sort-ell's brlfjailo if
the confederate army , for Ills version of
General Uranl'H demand for tlio sur
render of Leo's army. General Perry
was the confederate ollleor who received
tlio llrst demand for surrender. Cir
cumstances prevented htm at the lime
from furnishing the fads requested by
Historian Koiljrcr. ' . . Homo months njro
General Perry \vroto a clrcmnsttinllnl
account of tha events in which ho was a
centiul figmc nnd the letter has Just
been published. It ir an interesting
conlrihuliMi to the literature of that
historic1 epoch.
General Perry siys : :
It was nltihl , April 7 , ISOo.Ve had
crossed tlio river near I'YirtnvillO , and
had taken up a position about , as near
IIH I remember , a mile from the oro.ss-
ing , which the confederates had at
tempted to burn , but unsuccessfully.
Gcnoial Milt's , commanding u federal
brigade , inuilo a tntid attempt to
throw the confederates into confus.oti on
their left by a llnnl ; movement ( porv on
that was his purpo > o ) , but il was a. Very
unfortunate : moxu , for liis lined were in
a few ininntos neurlv cut lo pieces and
his brigade placed liors do combat.
I'ho fedora's'soon appeared in force
hut ni : : < lo no further advance. A furious
plchotllring and s-harpsheoting began
on both Hhks , wbilo Ibo wounded , and
dead federals lay between the two lines.
Mabono'u division was now the rear
punrd at. tills point of General Lee's
aimy. ( ! eiioril : Leo's forced were re
duced now to their minimum strength ,
hut a Mercer , more determined body of
men never lived. They simply wailed
for General Loo's order1.
About o o'clock p in. a llag of trtico
appeared in front of General SiMTolt's
brigade ( General Wight's old brigade ) ,
of which the writer of tbu account was
the ndjulant general. A .courier was
eont to division headquarters to
announce it. Colonel Taylor , n
ep'cndid young Virginian , had been
assigned temporarily to the command
of General Sorrell's brigade , Gcner.il
Sorrell having been almost mortally
wounded at 1'etorsburg. In a shoit
while f'olonol Taylor was ordered to
fcend a staiT ofllcor to answer the llag of
truce. The writer was assigned to this
duty , and pioccedod to tlio temporary
earthworks al the confederate front ,
lincp. As tlio top of the earthworks
was reached a number of federal sharp-
ehooters lirod at me , and two balls
passed through the uniform coat I wore
nnd one ball wounded a confederate sol
dier in tlio hand , who had risen up
witli olliora from behind tlio works ,
out of curiosity to t-oo what was go >
ing to take place. That ended tlio
truce business for tbat afternoon. After
nightfall , and ovor.ything on both sides
had lapsed into silence , pickets wore
put in front of our lines ftbout 100 yaids.
Captiiin James W. English , ono of the
bravest , coolest , most faiilifui and vig
ilant ofllcors in the cnnfcdcrato army ,
was in charge of the line in front of our
brigade. I had selected him for the
reason that 1 knew he would not fail mo
if I depended on his courage and faith.
Colonel Taylor Know nothing of our
command orllsotUcors.und the responsi
bility rested on mo to select the right
men in the crisis there was now on us.
Wo apnrchonded a night attack.
About 1) ) o'clock at night , as the moon
wra about to liso , Captain English re
ported that a Hag of truc'o was again
offered on the federal line on our front.
It was reported again al our division
headquarters and I was again sent out
to answer it as before. 1 nut on an army
revolver , put aside my sword , and aa-
vitncod about ( ifty yards fiom our pick
ets , halted and called for the llag.
\Vliotc 1 stood there wore scattered
around several federal dead and
wounded.
Ono of the latter asked mo to do some
thing for linn. I told him 1 would very
BCOM , making this promise only to en
courage him , for I could really do noth
ing , for lack of authority as well as a
lack of means. I asked his tmmo and
was rather astonished when ho said ho
was General Miles' adjutant generaland
that his iiuiiio was lioyd , as I now re
member It. A response to my call in
front took my attention , though I re
member Ihr.t the wounded o'llccr ' said ho
had boon shot through the thigh.
I advanced some distance and met u
very handsomely drcstod federal oflicer.
Wo stopped in front of each other , about
Bovon or eight feet apart. 1 soon recog
nized the fact that ray worn confeder
ate uniform and slouched hat , oven in
the dim light , would not compare favor
ably with his magnificence , but as 1 am
eix feet high I drew myself up proudly
BS I could , and put on the appoarance.as
tvoll as possible , of being perfectly sat
isfied with my personal exterior. The
otllcer spoke first , introducing himself
its General Seth Williams of General
Grant's f-taIV. .
After I had introduced myself ho felt
in his Kldo pocket for documents , as I
thought , but Ibo document was a nice-
looking silver llask , as well MB I could
.distinguish , lie remarked that ho
hoped I would not think it was an unsol-
dinrly courtesy If ho offered mo eomo
very line brandy. 1 will own up now
that I wanted that drink awfully. Worn
down , hungry and dispirited , it would
have been a gracious godsend if fiomo
old confederate and Icouldhavo emptied
that Ihtbk between us in that
dreadful hour of misfortune. Hut
1 raised myself about an inch
higher , if possible , bowed , and
rcftucd politely , trying to proJuco the
ridiculous appeal nnco of having feasted
on chumpagno and pound cake not ton
minutes before , and that 1 hud not the
ullghtcst use for as plebeian ix drink as
"lino . "
brandy. i i
Ho was a true gentleman , begged par'
don , and placed iho llask in Ills pocket
again , without touching vho contents in
my presence , If ho had taken a drink
and my confederate olfactories had ob
tained n will IT of the odor of It , it is pns
elblo that 1 hhotild liavo "caved. " The
truth is , I had not oaten two ounces in
two days , and I had my co < it tail then
full of corn , waiting to parch il as sotn
us an opportunity might present itself.
I did not leave it behind me , because f.I 1
had nobody I could trust it with. .
An an excuse , which 1 felt I ought t <
make for refusing ills proffered cour
tcsy , 1 father haughtily said thai I hat
been sent forward only to receive unj
communication that was oll'ercd i.vut
could not propt'r'y accept or offer uty >
courtesies. In fact , if I had olTorct
what I could it * would have taken Hiy >
corn.
corn.Ho then handed to mo u letter wltlcl :
b.o fculdva from General Grunt to Gen
oral Loo. and nt-k d that , General Lee
should get it immotliataly if possible. I
made no reply except lo ask him if that
was all wo had to transact , orfoinothinjr
to thatcffpct. He said that was all.
Wo bowed Very profoundly to etu-h
othnr and turned away , in a moment t
was ca'lcd ' cgali ) by General Williixms <
and ho asked if I would moot ono of Iho
colonels of General Miles' brigade ,
whoso name I have forgotten but who M
living and remembering the incident
I hope will write to me at Waynesboro ,
Gn. I hesitated a moment and replied
tbat I would. The colonel came up and
presented to mo somes of the olTcct-t
tnken from the trunk ot General
Mahono that evening , which had boon
captured by the federal forces. They
worn pictures ol General Mahono s
fatnllv , and , If 1 remember rightly , letters
"
ters "from his wife. I took them and
promised to deliver them , thanking him
for his. kind consideration. Ho asked
mo if I Knew anything of Lieutenant or
Captain Hoyd , who wns oilhcr killed or
wounded and was in our lines. 1 related
what had occurred in I tvtnio forward.
Hu asked mo to send him to them. 1
hnd no authority to do this , but I said
for the sake of humanity i would take
the authority at Iho risk of a court-
irTartlitl , and' 1 asked him if any of our
men wore tulToring in his lines to do
likewise in relieving thi'iii. 1 went
back , met Captain F.ngllsh , and asked
him lo attend to it. and ho took four
men , ns ho afterwards told mo , and sent
Captain Hoyd forward to a detail of
federal to'.alors. who received him. Is
Captain Hoyd alive now ? 1 would like
to know. Ho can thank Caplain
Knglish and his confederate pickets for
saving him from a long night of suffer -
ing.In
In twenty minutes after I got back in
our lines a confederate courier , riding a
swift ImrMC , had placed in General Loo's
hand the letter which was handed to mo ,
tile first demand fur the surrender of
his devoted army. In an hour's time
wo wo"o 'hilcntly pursuing our way
toward the now famous Held of Appo-
iniUtox. Wo marched all day of the 8th
of April , and slept in bivouac not mo-o :
than three or four miles from Appomat-
tox. where lhodeman-1 was made again ,
and was acceded lo , and the confederacy
of the south went down in defeat , but
with glory.
Wo arrived on the Held of Appomat-
lox about ! ) o'clock tin the ! ) lh day of
April , the day of capitulation. The ne
gotiations lasted during Ihat day. The
general order of General Lee was read
to the army on Iho 10th of April. This
is as 1 lomomber it. General Lee pub
lished his last order to his soldiers on
that day.
I sat down and copied it on a piece of
confederate paper , using a bass drum
head for a desk , Iho best I. could do. I
carried Ibis copy to General Leo , and
asked him to sign-it for mo. lie signed
it. and 1 have it now. It is the best au
thority , along with my parole , tbat 1
can produce , why , after Hint day , I no
longer raised n soldier's hand' for tlio
south. There were tears in his eyps
when ho signed it for mo. and when I
turned to.walk away tlioro wore tears in
my eyes , too.
A \ViirTlmo Sau bonni.
"The most terrible exhibition of bar
baric cruelty 1 witnessed during Iho war
occurred : it Uichmoml , Ivy. , " ' said Cap-
lain .1. 10. Elgin of Louisville , toi ro-
porldr of Die St. Louis Chronicle. "I
was with the gallant .John Morgan , and
more's the pity that the brutality I refer
lo was perpetrated by one of our men.
Ho was a young surgeon , just out of
college , and his blood was alhuno willi
ardor for the confederacy.When the
balllo was ended Iyas placed in charge
of one of Iho hospital corps. Wo were
going over the Jield , ministering to Iho
dead and dying , and my attention was
attracted by tlio piteous wails of a man
close to the lines of ti.o federal on
trenchinonts. There was such a dis
tressful pathos in his erics that I hur
ried to him. When I got clo o enougl :
lo distinguish his words 1 heard him
plead : 'For God's' sake , doctor , kill
mo ! . Don t cut my legs off and leave moa
! ' ' '
a cripple
At a glance T saw what was going on.
The ploadi'ng man was a union soldier
with only n slight llesh wound in the
thigh of the right leg , which disabled
him temporarily only. His tormentor
wai the enthusiastic young surgeon ,
who had just joined our command. The
juvomlo reprobate had deliberately
bound the poor devil to a log , and wa's
leisurely preparing to saw olT his left
leg for no oilier reason in Iho world than
that ho wanted to disable Iho soldier
for further sot vice during the war. Uo
had stripped the man's leg bare to the
thigh , tied a string tightly around it
several inches nlovo Iho knee , and had
marked off with the point of his knife a
streak around Ibo log whore ho intended
lo make the amputation. My duly was
jiliiin. At first I thought to shoot the
inhuman monster down in his tracks ,
but I reali/cd that his punishment
would bo sufficiently severe when John
Morgan and Uasil Dulco learned of his
offence , < o I pi need him under arrest ,
marched him up boforj those men , and
told them what I hud prevented him
doing. Ho was prpmplly placed In
chains , a court-imtrtlal BOOH tried him
and sentenced him lo bo shot. Sufficient
iullticnco was brought to bear , however ,
to save his life , though ho wns cashiered
from the army.
Hy some moans ho made ills way
north , began the pracllco of medicine
at Heading , Pa. , and today is iho rank
est hater of the south , pc'rhapa , in Iho
slate of Pennsylvania.

The Frenchwoman , unlike h-jr English
( .istor , has , as a rule , a very goo.l bus !
ness education. In the common schools
she ban been taught household book
keeping , and has been given IOSSOIIB in
purohasiiiir and useful expenditure. As
n wife sho'is expected generally to help
her husband in his business and some
times she manage * it entirely for him.
In iho small stores she acts as clerk for
him and hi Iho larger ones she is an
cquwl partner. The Hon Mnrcho was
made famous by Madame Uouclcniltwho :
helped her husband found and maintain
Iho establishment , and after his death
she look entire charge of it.
Her system was ono of so much kind
ness and consideration toward her em
ployes that they called her "tho lady of
tho" Bon Marche , " and looked upon her
as almost a siint. She was very pros
perous in the business and associated
with herself , as stockholders , the chiefs
of the various department who had
been faithful in their service , that they
might share in the prollls. Then she
wished lo include n.i many of Iho
other employes as possible , so she
ceded a part of her shares tea
a common fund subject to their purchase.
In her will she loft Iho rest of her
shares to the stockholders. Also she
gave $1,000.000 of her own private for-
Ittne for a pension fund for those of the
omplnves who from ag or illness wore
unable longer to work. There are many
other largo establishments in Paris
managed by women. Madame Coquoliu ,
it is saiii , invests all of her husband's
money for him , tuid many of Iho wives
of the artists manage the selling and
exhibition of their husbands' works.and
attend to the collocling and paying of
dobls , obtain orders and cull upon the
newswiipor men. doing all the necessary
work to inako their husbands' artistic
efforts profitable.

SNUFF INrOIlMATION.
Snof/e Statistics Wlilrh Tell ol : i I'mlltulilo
liKltmtr.r.
It seems surprising to learn the fact
that twenty years ago 1,000,000 pounds of
MiulT per annum were consumed lu this
country. Much more astonishing is the
circumstance Unit during the fiscal vear
ended .Inly 1,15:02 , 10,000,000 pounds of
snuff wore used in the United States.
Yet how rarely it is that ono sees a
pinch of snuff l-tken ! The mystery was
explained yesterday by Iho Now York
agent for a great snulT manufacluring
concern. He said :
"Nearly all Iho Italian and German
music teachers use snuff. Likewise Iho
Uomau Catholicclergy. . The true snuff-
taker does not mieo/o. Old-fashioned
Germans , who came to this country a
long time ago. almost invariably take
snulT. In beer saloons where people of
their race congregate you will commonly
bco on the counter a box of snuff for
general use. It is of black snuff that I
have spoken thus far highly fjctitcu
wilh rose , bergamot and pungent odoru.
But Ibo snuff limits chiefly used and
manufactured in lliis country is of the
yellow or brown kind. Some of it is
s.dted and some plain , bul very llttlo
of it is scented. It is used to an im-
moiito extent in Iho south by negroes
and poor whiles for 'dipping. " 'Tho
snuff dipper moistens a little stick in
water or alcohol , dips it in the snuff ,
makes a little ball and puts it between
the lips and the teeth. The hnbit is mi
unpleasant one , but is practiced in the
south by women us commonly as by men.
In fact , Iho consumption of snuff in this
country is chiefly by uippingand the bulk
of tobacco manufactured in Ibis shape-
is consumed below Mason and Dixon's
lino. Yullow snuff is used largely by
Iho Canadian French girls , who com
pose a majority of the employes in Iho
cotton mills all over the United Stales ,
particularly in Now England.

Nobody wants to diet. It is a natural
desire to want to enjoy the good things

Read what a prominent New Yorker
writes ; ho had been troubled with gouty

symptoms for eighteen months :
"I liavo subjected myself for months
to the severest rtilesof diet recommended
for Kticli conditions , and used almost all
tlio remedies recommended for gout and

heard of your imported Carlsbiid Spritdel

afterwards eating almost anything I de
