HOW THEY MAKE LOVE aX TEXAS.
I am waiting in the meadow
While the evening shadows ill,
YThile the sunset s goiden spleodors
Fade away beyond recall.
O'er the earth a dewy fragrance
Fling? a mantle sparkling, bright,
Quirering with nniold beauty.
Flashing back the waning UghL
. lleet me, darling, I am waiting
'Seath the sighing aspen tree;
Hound me winds of ere are sweeping;
Whispering to my heart of thee.
Hasten '. On my tips are burning
Words to thee I would impait;
Truest loTe and hope are bearing
In my restless, throbbing heart.
Xow the dark'ning world ia sleeping,
Eestirjg from all grief and care;
Sow the silent stars are gleaming
On her tranquil bosom fair;
But my heart is growing weary.
And a pang akin to woe
Sieals upon me in the gloaming.
While the shadows come and go.
Bat I know you will be faithful.
Well I know yon will be true.
In your heart a kindred feeling,
Like the lore I bear to you.
iro I'll cease from all repining.
Banish every doubt and fear,
For through the fragrant gloaming
I can feel yoar presence near.

LAST DAT OF THE PCBSCIT.
The twinkling eUtb peeped down
from the peaceful heavens when we
were suddenly yet quietly awaken
ed on the morning ol the 5th. Gen
eral Custer advanced; he was an
early bird in those d iys, and we
were to accompany him with our
selected flanker. We were on the
march before sunrise, between five
and six o cloek. Sergeant Humph
ries reported the capture of two pris
oners in the wcods, a fourth of a mile
from the main road, who, apparent
ly unarmed, refused to surrender or
accompany him unless he would
report them to a commissioned of
ficer. I was embarrasicg to the sergeants
who sent for me. Upon visiting the
spot, on the edge of a thicket, I found
him with pLtol in hand and his
two prisoners at attention. They
proved to be vo members of the
Virginia Legislature, that had ad
journed without day on the fall of
Richmond, and who leli in witn
Lee on his retreat, but had been
trapped in their effori to get home
by our early advance, icey were
gentlemen in every particular, real
F. F. . a perfectly frank, and now
since they were captured and assur
ed of protection, seemed perfectly
willing to disclose all they kr ew.
As they were fresh from the lines of
Lee much of their information was
of importance. After spending a
half hour wiih them and carefully
noting in writing important points,
all of which corroborated in many
important details events mentioned
bv mr rraternai mend on tbe nignt
of April 1, 1 turned them over to the j
provost guard and hastened back: to
report results to general Merritt, by
whom I was sent at once to general
Sheridan, then some two miles in
rear on the same road.
WITH SHXRIDAX.
I found the General on the road
ide, with General Forsvth, in the
act of taking a cup of coffee, a map
spread before them. I made a full
report of observation and informa
tion received during the penoa
since the battle of Five Forks, and
volunteered the opinion, which I
thought to be shared by many oth
ers, that Lee was ready to surrender
if the demand was made. The re
ply of this distinguished officer was
by no means encouraging.
"Your conjecture may be trne,
but 111 be d d if I believe it Lee
is not ready to surrender, but will
make Lis escape unless we get south
of him and cut him off."'
A cup of coffee offered) was accept
ed, and before leaving for the front
t hen about 7 o'clock a. m., I was as-
?red that the material facts report
er I would be dispatched to General
G;ant at once.

Ganeral R. E. Lee
Early on the morning of the 8th,
before leaving Farmville, the follow
ing answer was received by Grant :
Lee to G rant April 7, iSC5 :
General r I have received your
note of this date. Though not en
tertaining the opinion you express

SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY. AFRIL 29, 1SS5.
The roads were in good condition,
the country open, quite thickly set
tled and well improved and the in
habitants generally conversant with
the situation, many of Lee 'a men
reported to be going home and the
negroes gleeful wherever met Mov
ing on the flank of the advance for
the greater part of thejday with a de
tail of well-meunted and disciplined
soldiers, we had ample opportunity
to learn what was known by the resi
dents and returning Confederate sol
diers, many of whom were cap tared
by our party in their flight to re
ceive them and quite conscious that
the struggle was pracUcally over.
The usual depredations and name
less acta of lawlessness were disclos
ed to na by many households as we
tarried for a moment or hurried by
them, and an unusual amount of
"peach brandy" was found by the
adventurous foraging soldiers of the
whole corps on this famous day's
march. Tbe very air flong tbe
column was rich in the fumes of the
old and savory intoxicant No re
sistance impeded our steady march.
CTSTEB THX DEBONAIR.
We met tnd reported to Custer
twice during the day. He was in
tent on getting on, reticent beyond
precedent evidently exercising his
best efforts to suppress his natural
vivacity. We think it was about
two o'clock p. m. that we met him
for the second time during the day.
He was riding with the leading reg
iment and was satisfied that he was
south of Lee's most advanced troops
bad heard that trains and supplies
were at AppomotUx Station and
w?s hopeful of reaching that point
before dark. He wore on that day,
as usual with him, a gay uniform
and two Colt's revolvers, army size
in holsters attached to his sabre belt
This was, as he frequently said, his
custom for the protection of his body
having a horror of being shot in tbe
stomach or bowels.
rssprBmsG sounds.
About 5 o'clock, or perhaps a lit
tle later, while riding witn General
Merrit, we heard cannonading in
front, the first since Sailor's creek :
Custer had found the enemy. All
knew it must be the advance of Lee
moying south. The First Division
was moved on at a still more rapid
pace. The artillery gave the road to
the mounted troops, as also the am
munition train, ambulances and all
other wheels and pack animals. An
eminence reached and a comparative
ly clear country showed us the
smoke of Custer's grins and carbinets
at work, with lines evidently facing
north. This was an inspirating mo- j
ment Blood now to.d in man and
horse. A half hour more and the
leading bridgade, Fitzhugh'a, of the
First Division, had reached Lusters
right and nv acta position mount
ed, the pioneers leaving fences where
required ; a half hour more and the
First Division was sharing with the
Third tbe spoils of war and joining
in the wholesale destruction of Uams
found in the road south of Appo
mattox Court House.
WHAT THE PRISONERS THOUGHT.
Prisoners taken were astounded
upon learning that the advance of
the Army of the Potomac were upon
them. They thought us a full days
march in their rear. Intelligent offi
cers with whom we conversed
thought when first attacked by Cus
ter that it was a raiding party be
longing to General Stoneman's col
umn marching from Tennessee.
Ttill others conjectured it to be a de
tachment gent through from Gener
al Sherman's army in North Caro
lina. Their surprise and dismay
were complete when assured that
we were in reality Sheridan's Caval
ry and that our infantry would be
up by morning.
CUSTE'i's TROPHIES.
Luster s arn rai and attack was
timely. Although tbe enemy's artil
lery and trains were in park and the
troops accompanying them in a dis
order! condition, resulting from a
long march, yet more were near at
hand, and if the attack had been lat
er or less sudden resistance would
have been more effectual, with re
sults less encouraging to the Union
army. Twenty-five pieces of artil
lery, ambulances, ammunition and
general wagon trains, covering sever-
ial miles of the main road leading to
I Ar-rtmiittni were rantured and
j burnt battle 8am and prisoners
i 13 .
were the only articles deemed ol
value. A close hunt for rebel flags
was made and a number found. The
old cavalry soldiers will remember
! that these rebel flags were permit-
ted to be carried at all cavalry head-1
quarters in the last days of the war
. --j-.
and the
the old divisions of the cavalry corps.

SPECIAL PRIZES.
It was deemed a special honor to
be the standard bearer of a Confed
erate battle-flag and only those who
captured them were peimitted to
carry tbem. In special cases of gal
lantry these flags guaranteed a fur
lough and immunity from routine
camp duty. They were ex-of5cio of
the non-commissioDed staff at head
quarters, and well deserved to be.
Custer's display of stars and bars
was extraordinarily fine at Appo
mattox' while that of Deven and
Crook was attractive.
AT APPOMATTOX COURT HOUSE.
The line of operations was push
ed well up towards the Court House,
where it was baited between nine
and ten o'clock at night the enemy
! having barricaded the road, and
shown well-directed resistance at
points, making it impracticable for
mounted troops to advance further.
Tbe large captures made, including
several trains of cars, some of them
loaded with supplies these later
were tent down the railroad until
they met the infantry column the
destruction of wagon trains, had its
demoralizing effects upon the troops
and required the best efforts of offi
cers in collecting the command to

for the night and in having them

there would be an attack upon us at

IX BIVOUAC.
The staff were indefatigable in
their efforts seconded by the field
and line officers of the corps, all of
whom reamed the importance of the
work in hand, and felt the end now
must come. It was after midnight
when we made our final report to
General Merritt with whom and
Dana. A. A. G.. Halberstabelt In
spector General, Rotters, muster ofB
cer, and others of the headquarters'
family, we 'turned in between
blankets taken from our jaded hors

to the trusrd for ail to bs awakened
at four o'clock A. M sharp. What
prayers went np from that porten
lions field God alone knows; but
certain it ia the desire now to live
that we might see the end was little
less than a passion, strong enough to
make converts of the bravest men

All this was the first work cf the
morning and by sunrise the begin

SURRENDER OF LEE.
The Emoke f a thousand coffee
fires, made by horse-holders, train
men and otheis to the rear, united
with the dust of moving troops aad
wheels, increased the density cf a
j slightly foggy atmosphere, through
which the morning sua shone Use a
ball of fire, red as the crimson blood
beginning to flow on this new field
of conflict and rare historical inter
est. The Confederates were com
manded by Major General Gordon, a
young and brilliant officer, in whom
Lee reposed ereat confidence and
whose well directed lines pressed
with deadly effect on our carbineers
Ifjooa risht to left Many gallant
men and officers fell, killed or griev
ously wuunded, in this last and ex
citing struggle.
The situation was pregnant with
interest to the cavalry, who, from
daylitht to near nine o'clock A. M.,
were contending with doable their
actual numbers. The fast forsoa
tion of tbe enemy for an apparent
I assault upon our lines was plainly
visible to the naked eye. The move
ment of Gordon j troops to the point
of attack appeared as measured and
regular aa on review. The glittering
steel of his bayonets shimmered in
the morning eun and his battle-flags
floated in air as defiantly as on a
score of battle-fields before. It was
at this critical moment that General
Sheriden reached the front
EXCITING MOMENTS.
Sheriden rode briskly, giving or
ders for the line of carbineers to fall
back to their horses and mount He
spoke rapidly as he rode along the
line in a slow trot and directed line
as well aa field and staff officers to
hasten the execution of the move
ment As the excited men were
double qnicked towards their horses
they discovered within a mile dis
tant the massive lines of blue emerg
ing from the woodland, under cover
of which they had formed, and were
now rapidly advancing to the posi
tion we had doggedly held. We
think it could not have been more
than fifteen minutes from the time
the command to mount was given
until the First and Third Division
were in the saddles, and to the keen
blast of scores of bugles were mov
ing at a trot to the enemy' s left and
rear. The moment was certainly
the most exciting ever experienced
by the cavalry arm of the service.
The retirement of the carbineers
from the enemy's front, the discov
ery of the approaching infantry by
the Confederate field officer?, result
ed in a lull, with only an occasional
gun from the artillery. From the
higher ground taken by the mount
ed troops the whole field and situa
tion was observable.
THE LAST STAND.
The enemy's forces under Gener
al Gordon stood ready for the as

grip on trusted blades and experien-
iced horsemanship were the only
promising assurances of getting into,
through and out of a melee, now be
lieved bv all to be inevitable. The
execution of this fast movement of j
the cavalry was committed to Gener
al Merritt by General Sheriden, who
was simultaneously giving due at
tention to and hastening the steps of
the infantry, now well in hand, re
sulting from unprecedented march
ing and who were determined to be
in and fully share the glory of com
pelling the surrender of its old and
bitter antagonist

the alert, aften anticipating the com
mand of superior officers on the field
of battle, was among the first in dis
cerning the object of mounting the
troops and had his division in the
advance, with Deven close upon his
heels. Brigade Commanders Pen
ningham, Copehart, Gibbs, Fitzhugh
and Stag were active and zealous to
move the whole body, without a
break in the formations, hastily, but
effectually made for the work in
hand. The earth seemed to tremble
under tbe hoofs of five thousand
horsemen as they thundered by the
flank of the now thoroughly dismay
ed Confederates under Gordon.

conspicuous man on the field. He

Fifth, Twenty-fourth and one divi
sion of the Twenty-fifth Army Corps,
who justly shared the honors of the
hour, as tbey doubtless did the de
light of all, which waa simply bound
less and indescribable. It waa the
surrender of Lee and the end of the
war.
STRANGE EMOTIONS.
The culmination of hopes long de
ferred through years of defeats and
drawn battles burst upon grim vis
aged veterans, whoee hearts throb
bed wi'-h a joy that honorable pride,
the absence of farther peril. speedy
return to homes, waiting loved ones
and the triumphant unity ot our
country alone could give. The cri
sis of the stupendous reality reached
and passed, the reaction waa sadden
and profoundly emotional The
scenes ad incidenta resulting from
the suspension of hostilities between
lines of hoetiie troops, while witing
several hours for the arrangement of
terms and details between Grant and
Lee, were of the most memorable
character. None seemed more deep
ly affected than the trained officers
and old veterans of the regular army.
We recall with distinctness the emo
tions of tearful joy of General Al
fred Gibbs, then in command of the
Regular Brigade, First Second,Fifth
and Sixth United States Cavalry.
The noble man waa wholly broken
up, choked with every word and
finally wept like a child. The con
dact of thia officer wa3 by no means
exceptional ; the eyes of the best and
bravest moistened and the strongest
and stoniest hearts were moved by
generous impulses that went out to
and sought opportunities to frater
nize with the rack and file of the
equally brave men, whose cause, a
cause for which they had made
such frightful sacrifices, had gone
out forever in smoke and flame now
ended.
THEN FOES, NOW FRIENDS.
The visible dividing line between
ecstatic joy and nameless grief sepa
rated the blue and gray, for the
hours we waited in arms and an
nouncement of the surrender, and
when thia was accomplished, both
armies went into camp side by side.
The line waa crossed ; intercourse be
tween all waa free and cordial Food
was given to the hungry, drink to
the thirsty and comfort to those op
pressed with the natural chagrin
felt by the surrendered men and offi
cers, one of whom said to the writer
and others, "You can return to your
Northern homes of peace in honor
beneath the flag you fought under.
V e now have no Confederate flag ;
it ia lost; our pride is grievously
wounded and our homea are full of
sorrow," and. overcome with sup
pressed emotions that seemed, aa he
thought to unman him for the mo
ment he turned awny from ua to re
cover his self-possession.
HONORABLE TERMS.
The terms of surrender, the "onlv
terms" other than that of "uncondi
tional'' surrender, then made by
Grant were ot the most considerate
and honorable character. No formal
surrender of tbe sword of Lee was j
exacted, no parade of captives thro' j
the oren ranks of victorious troops,
the retention of side arms bv officers
with the horses of the whole com
mand and all material that could be 1

Ail rice to Swearers.
Nobody cares for the swearing of
an habitual swearer. His volleys
of profanity have no terror in them.
They mean nothing. It is the man
who never swears that scares you
out of your boots if once in a life
time he does swear. So far as we
can learn, Washington only swore
ones daring the eight years of the
the revolutionary war. Bat that
one time counted. It set back the
tide of retreat changed a defeat in
to victory, and made things hum.
But the fellow who swears on all
occasions, and swears hot and cold
with the same mouth, the intellect
ual pauper who ekes out hia barren
supply of ideas with an abundant
crop of profanity, whose conversa
tion ia a long chain ot mill privi- j
leges, and who talks like a beaver
worki; his swearing ia weak, tire
some and disgusting. So. if you
want to swear with any effect my
boy, be very seldom about it Be
exclusive in your profanity. If you
can't get along without it bring it
out occasionally, like rare old fam
ily diamonds; don't keep it running
six or eight hours a day, like the
kitchen hydrant
And you won't be offended, my
man but if vou w1a observe more
closely you will perceive that young
men, boys, fledglings cf about your
age, swear more thta men more
frequently, more awkwardly, with
less point and direction. A man

Hiring Bees.
Some apiarists practice

Then
when a swarm issues from the hive,
she cannot follow, bet crawls about
upon the ground in front of the hive.
The bee-keeper catches, cages, and
lays her aside in the shade, moves
the old hive to a new location, and
by the time the swarm has decided
to return, because it had no queen,
he has a new hive similar in appear
ance to the old one, upon the old
stand, and the bees, taking it tor
their old home, enter it and while
they are going in, the queen is allow
ed to run in with them. Thus the
bees hive themselves without being
allowed to ever cluster. An objec
tion to thia method ia, that queens
are sometimes lost in the grass.
When a swsrm of bees returns, it
may enter the wrong hive, and if it
makes no mistake in thia direction,
it occasionally clusters all over the

You remember in the Book of

" IHvide the child ia two, and give

story as it ia told by the Buddhist

of the Buddhist Tripitaka, we like

What is the use of examining and

both women fell on the child, and
when the right became violent the
child was hurt and began to cry.
Then one of them let him go, be
