" The riiij ; nf Truce ut Appomuttoi. Colonel Robert M. Sims of Columbia , S. C. , is the man who bore the ilag of truce at Appomuttox that ended the war of secession. In a letter to Colonel J. P. Thomas of Columbia , who secured the datn to utili/o it in a history of the South Carolina Military academy , which ho is preparing , Colonel Sims says : " "Sunday morning , the &th of April I think t am correct in the dates found UH at daybreak near Appomattox C. Tl. , with General Gordon's division and the cavalry a little in advance of the village of Appomattox. General Longstreel's command , comprising the rebt of the Army of Virginia , was thrown across our track some two miles in the rear of the village , and facing to the rear to meet General Grant's columns , which were pursuing us , with our head quarters ( General Longstreet's ) at an in termediate point three-quarters of a milo in the rear of the village. -"General Grant had pushed forward General Orr's corps and Sheridan's cav alry and thrown them across our front. General Gordon was to attack in front at daylight to open and force a way through the enemy. The attack was delayed a little , but as soon as made ap peared to bo successful. Gordon soon found the force In front too heavy for him and asked re-enforcements 'from General Longstreot. General Leo rode down the road in the direction of Grant's columns to meet General Grant. An other and directly another me.s.-oiigor came to General J ougstreot from General - oral Gordon , askl.ig for help and buying that he was very hard pressed. "General l.ongstreot then directed me to ride over to General Gordon and say to him that if ho thought proper he might scud a Ilag of truce over to Gen eral Sheridan " , who was supposed to bo lu command" In his front , and ask for a Mispenslon of hostilities until lie could hear from General Leo , who had ridden down the road to meet General Grant. "I found General Gordon in the village of Appomattox hard pressed in front and being Hanked on his loft. After deliver ing the message he said it was proper for him to send the Ilag , and , as he had nostatT olllcer with him. begged mo to take it. We agreed that the best direc tion to take the Hag was to a heavy col umn of cavalry then pressing on his left Hank. As 1 started on" I was joined by Major Drown of his stulT. "J rode through General Gray's dis mounted cavalry , who were hotly en gaged with the enemy. Upon reaching the enemy I was met bv Lieutenant Col onel , now General. Whitaker and a major. Colonel Whltakor advised mo to go to General Custus , whoso column of mounted cavalry was just then passing to the rear of Gordon's left Hank. We put spurs and in a few moments reached the head of the moving column , where I found General Cu tus. IIo asked mo who 1 was and what 1 wanted. I replied that i was an olllcor on General Umg- Mreet's stall and was the bearer of a message from General Gordon , who desired a suspension of hostilities until General I.AJO could bo heard from , ho having gone down the road to meet Gen eral Grant. "General CustussaldVo : will listen to no terms but those of an unconditional Burrender. Onr men are now behind Jones. ' I replied : 'I don't think wo will submit to that , but I will take your mes sage back to General Gordon , and If you wish to send an olllcer along with me you can do so.1 "lie directed Colonel Whitaker and the major , whoso name I have forgotten , to accompany mo. On our wuy to our lines Colonel Whltaker begged me to five { lira the towel which I hud used on I this occasion in a Ilag of d nee. This 1 po < 'cmp'orll\ ' and emphatically declined , telling him that I would not allow him for any etnilderatlou ) to pro eno It as a memento of our humiliation. 1 I'pori reaching General Gordon I found he was being hard pressed In front and on his right , and ho begged me to take tjie Hug to another part ot the Hold. I told him 1 could not do BO. as 1 must'go to General Longstreot. who would prob ably need ni" very soon , as General Custus said ho would proceed to attack ; beside.- I said , you have a member of your statT. Major Drown , with you. "Major Drown asked mo to loan him the towel. I told him I would do M on condition that ho would not allow the federal olllcer to get possession of It. When I returned in the afternoon to get the towel Major Drown told mo that Colonel Whltaker asked for the towel to display as a Hag of truce us they rode Into the federal lines together , fearing , lie paid , that they would bo fired upon by I lie federals. As soon as ho reached the federal lines ho rode otT , mixed up with the olllccrs and men , ami could not bo identified. "The towel was afterwtiids given _ to General Custus. and Is now in possession i.f Mr. CiiHttis at Monroe , .Mich. Itfio- quenUy b'dis up at tin1 dlllereiii niitiiimil fairs and dcmoiMrutions of the Grand Army as a tropiiy and relic. " 1'rode from General Gordon to Gen eral Longstreet. directly and hurriedly. I found General Longstreet and General Custu.s talking together at a little dis tance from the stall' . I heard some al lusion to the mos-uge I delivered. I walked over ID them and bogged to cor rect General Custus that 1 did not tell him that I was the bearer of a mos-ugo from General L-uigstroet , but emphutl- ciiHy that 1 came from General Gordon. ' Kac'h said that lie understood that. As I walked oil'I lieard Custus say. 'I will proceed to attack at once'and Long- street replied. 'As soon as you please. ' The attack wu not made and there was no more liriug or lighting. " ( irnrral dnint ut Slilluli. The following correspondence. sa.\ > llio Nahille ( Teim. ) Manner , has great historical interest , as it refutes a dam aging statement in regard to General Grunt at Shiloli which has been often repeated. Mr. T. M. llurst will deliver an address before the Tennessee His torical society in Kebruary. Mrs. W. II. Cherry of this city in a most estima ble lady , and what she writes of her knowledge of General Grant , who had his headquarters in her hoiis-o in Ifardin county in l GU , is unquestionable. The correspondence explains itself : COHNKIl Sl'HUt'K AM ) DKMON'IIIIKl'N , Dee. li. Ifjilll.-Mr. T. M. Iliyst. Dear Sir : Vour letter of inquiry concerning "General Grant's physical condition on the morning of the battle of Shiloh - loh began'1 was received several days ago. You will please pardon my seeming negligence , and accept my as surance , gladly given , that on the date mentioned I believe General Grant was thoroughly sober. Ho was at my break fast table when he heard the report from a cannon. Holding untasted a cup of coll'ee he paused in conversation to listen a moment at the report of another can non , lie hastily arose , saying to his stuff otlicors : "Gentlemen , the ball is in motion : let's be oil'1 His Hugphip ( as ho called his special steamboat ) wits lying at , the whiff , and in fifteen min utes lief stall'ollieors. . orderlies , clerks and horses had embarked. During the weeks of his occupancy of my house he always demeaned him self as a gentleman : was kind , courteous , genial and considerate , and never ap peared in my presence in a state of in toxication. IIo was uniformly kind to citizens , irrespective of politics , and whenever the brutality to citizens so frequently indulged in by the soldiers was made known to him he at once sent orders for'the release of the captives or restoration of the property appropri ated. As a proof of his thoughtful kind- lie" * ] mention that during the battle on Sunday he wrote and sent to my mother a safeguard to prevent her homo being used for u hospital. Yield ing to the appeals of humanity , she did , however , open her homo to the wounded and sick : or three months in succession , often administering to their wants and necessities in person. In such high es teem did General Grant hold such mag nanimity under the most aggravating circumstances that he thanked her most cordially , assuring her that considering the great losses and gross indignities she had received from the soldiers , her nobility of soul was more to be admired than the fame of a general leading an army of victorious soldiers. On one occasion ho asked to be intro duced to my mother and family , saying : "If you have no objections to introducing mo , 1 will bo much pleaded. ' ' I replied : "Not because you are a great general , but because I believe you to be a gentle man. I will unhesitatingly introduce you to them. " In deference to the fact that I was a southern lady , with southern proclivities , he attired himself in a full suit of citizen's clothes , and touching himself on the shoulder , ho said : "i thought you would like this best , " ovine- ing delicate courtesy and gentlemanly instincts of which the honors of war or merited promotion had not deprived him. I feel that it is due to the surviving members of General Grunt's family to mention some evidences of ills great- heartedness us shown in kindness to southern people. "Military necessity'1 was not to him a term synonymous with unlicensed vandalism or approval of ter rorism. Ho was too great and too true to his manhood to be fettered by preju dice. I am pleased that I can give these reminiscences of a man who as a soldie.r uud u statesman received and merited the homage of a nation for they are testimonies of his Inner life and charac teristics worthy to bo recorded with the magnanimity of "kinship over self , " as manifested on the day of General Leo's surrender.

Probably the woman most la request la New York city is a nilddlc-aRod colored per son , known to her patrons as Aunt ICitty. She is a cook , from Virginia , originally , ami la the tidewater district of her native state is famous as a culinary pcuius. About tea yoats ago the old lady canio up here to visit some northern relatives , says the Sun , and before she realized it was launched in'uu original and prolltablc business. It all came about from her offc'rlntr to lead a band one evening in serving dinner for the family in which her uii'co worked as cook. The result of her assistance was a descent upon the kitchen by the mistress , who in quired enthusiastically for the author of that perfect meal. The Virginia genius revealed her identity , and for a consideration of f.1 contracted to cotiio next day and prepare luncheon for a party the lady was giving. She cuiau and cooked and conquered , and when the guests liL'irged their hostess to tell where such a chef could be procured slio re lated her experience of the evening previous and temporary arrangements for that day. Stralghtwas' six different women begged to engage Kittj for various dates , two offered her high wages ami steady employment. She cheerfully agreed to hire out for single meals , hut declined to considei ; steady work that might interfere with her leturn south. Within three weeks her fame had snraud , am ) it soon became impossible to 1111 ail the orders she received. For dinners , luncheons , teas and breakfasts , her services were in growing demand. She established the repu tation of bring not only a rare cook and caterer , but a really remarkable saver of time , anxiety and money. With the increase of her professional en gagements , Aunt Kitty worked out a very clever system of operations. Three days be fore an entertainment took place , she con ferred with the hostess regarding the menu , obtaining the number of guests expected , ami was informed of a limit within whleh to hold the expenses. From that moment her employer's responsibilities ceased , as far as food for the feast was concerned. The morning of the luncheon Kitty ap- poarcd with the wide , easy smile , blue apron and smart turban that never failed to secure her a welcome from the resident cook. All she required was a clear lire and clean utensils. She fetched every scrap of her own mar keting , butter , sugar. In fact the smallest detail of seasoning , in order to bo independ ent of local supplies. From the Blue 1'oint oysters to the Creole coffee she furnished everything , and no matter how many courses were served each one was sure to bo a tri umph in its way. The meal over the visiting cook gathered up her belongings and made a prompt exit , hurrying away to lill nil order for dinner elsewhere. A few days later she sent in carefully itemi/ed bills for each and every purchase , so that her employer could tell tea a penny exactly what her entertainment had cost. It has been a number of years since Aunt Kitty became thus ensnared in business obli gations here , and since then she has pros pered wonderfully well. She earns on an average of from ti > 0 to * 70 a week , as it is a slack day for trade when she fails to have two entertainments every twenty-four hours. One of her chief recommendations to her employers is her economy , for with her witty tongue she is a match for the butcher , baker and candlestick maker combined. The most amusing thing about Kitty is her chronic uncertainty. She has lived con tentedly and grown rich in Now York these last tea years , but no matter who goes to her or when they require her services , she always engages with the proviso : "Ef 1 don't take emotion 'twixt now and theater lisht out for ole Firginnia.
