THE SURRENDER. ~
Johnston to Sherman, Twenty-
five Years Ago.
AT.THB LITTLE FARM HOUSE
Sherman’s Last Interview with Lincoln.
The President’s Desire for Peace and
Good Will—Dissatisfaction with the
Terms Granted to Johnston.
Just a quarter of a century ago, March 22, .
Sherman’s army ended its last long march at
Goldsboro, N. C. It was to be the last,
though neither army nor genera-l knew it.
After the fall of Wilmington in Fe ruary,
1865, Schofield’s army worked up the J. euse
river from Newbern to Goldsboro. Schofield
sent Gen. J. D. Cox to open the railway be-
tween the two places. Cox had a brisk fight
on the Neuse with Bragg, which lasted from
March 8 to 10. On the 10th Bragg retreated
towards Goldsboro. Schofield’s army fol-
lowed on, and entered Goldsboro March 21.
Terry, after the fall of W'ilmington, had
pushed on through to Goldsboro.

SHERMAN IN THE CAROLINAE.
Sherman reached Goldsboro in person
March 23.021 the 25th he left Schofield in
connnand of all the armies and hastened up
the coast to meet Grant at City Point, on the
James, near Richmond. .
A melancholy interest attaches to this visit
of Sherman to City Point. He, describes in
his memoirs his meeting with President Lin— '
coin, who was at City Point at the time.
Lincoln listened attentively to Sherman’s
stories of the long marches, enjoying particu-
larly the ludicrous incidents and the devices
of the “bummers’7 to Obtain food.
Both Sherman and Grant believed the war
was nearly .Over. But both thought there
would be at least one bloody battle more
before Lee was finally whipped. “I rather
thought it would fall on me,” said Sherman,
“somewhere near Raleigh.” It was supposed
that Lee would make a final effort to join
Johnston in North Carolina, evacuating
Richmond. In that case Sherman would be
on his front and Grant close upon his heels.
Another move, and he would be checkmated.
Lincoln was very anxious to avoid the
shedding of more blood, and asked the gen-
erals repeatedly if another battle could not
be avoided. At noon, March 25, when Sher—
man parted from Lincoln. the president as—
sured the general that he himself was all
ready for the civil reorganization of affairs
in the south the moment the war ended.
Sherman says:
He distinctly authorized me to assure Governor
Vance and the people of North Carolina that, as
soon as the rebel armies laid down their arms and
resumed their civil pursuits, they would at once
be guaranteed all their rights as citizens of a com.
inon country, and that, to avoid anarchy, the state
governments then in existence, with their civil
functionaries, would be recognized by him as the
government do facto till congress 'could provide -
others.
It was during these conversations at City
Point that Lincoln told 'the anecdote illus-
trating what, in his opinion, might be done
with Jefferson Davis. The story, as Sher-
man tells it, is this:
A man had taken the total abstinence pledge. A
friend invited him to take a drink, but he declined
because of his pledge. The friend suggested
lemonade, which was accepted. But while mak-
ing the lemonade the friend point-ed to the brandy
bottle and suggested that the mixture would be
more palatable if he were to pour in a little
brandy, when his guest said if he could do so “un-
beknown" to him he would not object. From
which illustration I inferred that Mr. Lincoln
wanted Davis to escape “unbekuown” to him.
In a little more than two weeks after this
talk, Lincohi was dead.
Sherman returned to Goldsboro March 3
and reorganized his army for further work.
April 5 he issued a special field order
beginning: “The next objective is to place
this army (with its full equipment) north of
Roanoke river, facing west, with a base for
supplies at Norfolk and at Winton or Mur-
freesboro on the Chowan, and in full commu-
nication with the Army of the Potomac
about Petersburg, and also to do the enemy
as much harm as possible en route.”
This, briefly stated, was the plan of cam-
paign agreed on by Grant and Sherman at
City Point. The armies of the east and'west
were now ready to co—operate.
Gen. Joseph Johnston, Sherman’s old op-
ponent, was in the vicinity of Raleigh with
40.000 men. wade

Suddenly, April 6, news reached Goldsboro
that Lee and his whole army were in flight
from Richmond, moving towards Danville,
with Grant in close pursuit. Then Sherman
decided to move directly against Johnston at
, Raleigh April 10. Grant sent him a. cipher
message April 10, saying, “Rebel armies now
are the only strategic points to strike at.”
Johnston was ascertained to be at Smith-
field. Accordingly against Smithfield Sher-
man’s armies marched, Monday morning,
April 10. The game had flown. Repeating
his old tactics from Chattanooga to Atlanta,
Johnston had retired before Sherman. He
went hastily to Raleigh, fifty miles distant,
burning bridges behind him. On after him
went Sherman. He meant fight this time.
There was no feint.
April-11 the Union troops were repairing
hastily the bridges Johnston had destroyed.
Another dispatch from Grant, up before
Richmond. What was in it that made such
a thrill and a movement about Sherman's
headquarters? In a few minutes 50,000 men
*3; was at that time-
were listening to another “special order”
from their general. It said: '
The general commanding announces to the
army that he has official information from Gen.
Grant that Gen. Lee surrendered to him his entire
army on the 9th inst.. at Appomattox Court
House, Va. .
Glory to God and our country, and all .honor to
our comrades in arms, towards whom we are
marching! . .
Allittle more labor, a little more toll on our
part, the great race is won, and our government
stands regenerated after four long years of war.
A great shout rose from Sherman’s army. .
'Then, with one impulse, the soldiers all over
the long blue lines began to sing the “Star
Spangled Banner.” ‘1
But there was still work for Sherman’s
army. April 12 Slocum’s head of column was
fight-ing Wade Hampton’s rear guard, push-
ing it towards Raleigh.
Sherman himself was with Slocum. The
morning of April 13 came, with the advance
within a few miles of Raleigh. A locomotive
engine was seen coming solitarily down the
railroad.
It brought a flag of truce and four messen-
gers to Sherman from Raleigh. Governor
Vance had sent
them to ask protec-
tion for the citi-
zens, and, then him-
self decamped
quickly, s to yin g
not upon the order
of his going. Sher-
man reassured the .
disturbed people , .
and e n tercd the ‘, 3“
city in person. ' ' ‘ ‘
Johnston’s army
had retreated once
more. S h e rm a n
needed more caval-
ry to pursue him effectually. At Raleigh the
general learned of the progress of the raids
of Stonemau and W'ilson.
The danger was that J ohnston’s army
would disperse into small hands, scatter hith-
er and thither, reassemble farther on and
prolong the war indefinitely. This was the
situation when, April Li, a flag of truce was
sent from Johnston to Sherman at Raleigh.
asking for a meeting to arrange terms of sur—
render.
The most bitter secessionist-s in Raleigh
“were the women and a number of preachers.
They had all along felt certain of the success of
the Confederate arms. The fire eating Yan—
cey had told them in the beginning, and they
had believed him: .
“I pledge my honor that I will_"pay all the
expenses of this war with a tea cent piece.
and I will wipe away with my handkerchief
all the blood that will be shed.”
Sherman and Johnston arranged for a con-
ference on the 17th. Johnston was at Dur-
ham’s Station, twenty-six miles up the rail-
road towards Hillsboro. Sherman decided
to grant Johnston the, some terms that Grant
had given Lee. But the situation was differ-
ent. Lee‘s army had been beaten on the
field and surrendered. If Johnston had per-
mitted his army to disband, it was still possi-
ble for them to escape. But he would not do
this because it would turn loose on Nosth
Carolina an army of 40,000 men.
The conference between Sherman and
Johnston took place at a little farm house
five miles from Durham Station. The terms
granted to Lee had been that all public prop—
erty should be turned over to the United
States, all arms should be surrendered by the
soldiers, officers retaining their side arms
and their own horses. Then, on giving his
formal parole that he would not again take
up arms against the Union, every Officer and
man in the Confederate army was allowed
to return to his home.
In addition ' to the terms above stated,
Johnston asked that some general concessions
might be granted, enabling him to retain
control over his men till he could send them
back home. Sherman postponed a final an-
swer till next day.

Sherman remembered his conversation
with Lincoln, now assassinated, how the
dead president had said repeatedly that he
most wanted the rebel soldiers “back at
their homes, engaged in their civil pursuits.”
Sherman went back to his headquarters
and talked with Schofield, Slocum, Howard,
Logan and Blair. It was plain that if the
terms offered did not suit, Johnston could
still disbandhis army, let the men flee
whither they would, and escape capture,
The generals agreed that Johnston’s army
could not be brought to bay in the region in
which it then was.
At the second conference between Sherman
and Johnston an armistice was agreed on
for forty-eight hours. The two generals then
agreed on terms of surrender, which tran-
scended the military authority and entered
the civil field. All the remaining Confeder-
ate armies were to be disbanded and con-
ducted to their state capitals, and here they
were to deposit their arms in the state arse-
nals and be mustered out. Then, after they
had been paroled, they were to be in all re-
spects citizens of the United States. The
Confederate state governments were to be
recognized by the United States on the tak-
ing of the oath of allegiance by their offi-
cers.
The government at “Washington refused to
ratify the agreement. Grant was sent to
Raleigh to declare the rejection of the mem-
orandum and the resumption of hostilities if
necessary. The negotiations were, however,
still conducted by Sherman. _
Johnston was notified that the government
rejected the memorandum and made a demand
for his surrender on the same terms as those
granted to Lee. . Johnston replied to Sher-
man’s note April 25, asking for another con-
ference at the little farmhouse. The confer-
ence took place accordingly, April 26, and
then and there Johnston agreed to the terms.
The Confederate soldiers laid down their
arms at Greensboro. Gen. Schofield ar-
ranged the details of paroles and the turning
over of public property. J obnston’s surren-
der included all the troops east of the Chatta-
hoochie, about 50,000 in all. But not all of
J ohnston’s army surrendered. Gen. Wade
Hampton refused to be included in the capit-
ulation, and at the head of a large body of
cavalry galloped away towards Charlotte.
In the language of one of (his followers, Gen.
Hampton was “the most uncompromising
cavalier in all the south.” '

PEOPLE THAT CAESAR KNEW.'~'~"
The First and Last of the Lake Dweller!
of Switzerland.
The recent discovery of tombs of the lake
dwellers has awakened a renewed interest in
the people of prehistoric Switzerland. Tour-
ists will hardly be content any more to pass
through Switzerland without visiting one or
more of the museums where the collections
made from the excavated lake dwellings are
exhibited.
Perhaps the most extensive exhibition of
these relics is the one at the Helm house, in
Zurich. There one sees What are in fact the
greatest antiquities of the whole world. There .
are hundreds and thousands of specimens of
stone, wood, cloth, weapons and ornaments
of a people whose towns were old a thousand
years before gray, old excavated Pompeii was
ever thought of.
To Professor Ferdinand Keller before all
others the world is indebted for a knowledge
of what it probably was before the time of
history. All the later years of his. life were
devoted to the investigation of the lake dwell—
ers’ villages, and no man was so competent
as he to rejuvenate those dead 01d skulls and
relics, lifting a thousand years from the for-
gotten past into the middle of the Nineteenth
century.
Keller has translated the hieroglyphics-of
the dead ages. He has explained how the:
antiquarians have divided all the prehistoric
past into the ages of stone, of bronze and of
iron; how the lake dwellings of Switzerland
were first discovered at Meilen, on the lake'
of Zurich, in 1829, and more fully revealed-
in 1853—4, and how the world at large shut
its eyes, almost, to the great contribution
made to history. He has told, too, how the
patient, hard working investigators, of whom
he is chief, have uncovered and dug out
enough of these buried towns to prove that
our “best families” don’t need to break off
their ancestral line with William the Con-
queror, or with any other William. Those
of us who think we might be proud of our
far off progenitors may yet , be gratified to
see some shrewd Yankee following our line
clear back to Orget-orix, the youngest oil‘—
spring of our Celtic grandfathers of the lake
dwellers.
If our American tourist will take a little
more time, jump on the cars, and ride out to
Robenhausen, on the lake of Pfaflikon, he
will there witness with his own eyes the turf
beds and the lake giving up the secrets of
the age of stone. Robenhausen is a town of
the stone age period. It was perhaps 1,200
feet square, standing 011 a platform built on
a hundred thousand piles driven into the
bottom of the shallow lake, about 300 yards
from the shore. Like all the other Swiss lake
towns it was connected with the land by a
long bridge, also built on piles. Of course
the visitor now will see little except chopped
off piles sticking in the peat, and among them
the debris of the villages that have gone to
ruin. Robenhausen had been partly burned
down and built up again on the same site, but
at intervals of ages, probably, apart: so that
the peat bed shows on being opened three sets
of piles, one above the other. The only way
of judging of the probable age of these lake
dwellings is by estimating the centuries re-
quired for peat beds to form. Reckoned in
this manner, the age of the first town built at
the bottom of Robenhansen must be pro-
digious.
In these lake villages once lived a people as
much civilized, possibly, as are the Mexicans
of today. They tilled the soil, they dwelt in
houses, they wove fine linen, they had articles
of luxury, and traded more or less with other
countries. Of them there are no written an-
nals. History stops stock still with Switzer-
land only sixty years further back than the
birth of Christ. The nearest reference there
is in history to these Swiss lake dwellers is
where Czesar tells how a quarter of a million
’ armed Helvetians, under Divico, burned down
their homes and marched into Gaul. Caesar
himself, after great battling, defeated them,
and drove them back into their own country.
There is now much reason to believe that
these Helvetians were the last of the lake
dwellers. It is known that most of the lake
villages were destroyed by fire, and it is alto—
gether probable that when Caesar, compelled
the people to return they established new
homes on the shore instead of rebuilding
their lake dwellings, which they had left in
search of a sunnier clime and a more grateful
soil than were found amid the Alps—“The
Lake Dwellers,” by S. H. M. Byers, in Har-
per’s’ Magazine.
The Story of Lot’s Wife.
The question which a religious oriental put
to himself in ancient times at Usdum was
substantially that which his descendant today
puts to himself at Kosseir: “Why is this
region thus blasted?”—“whence these pillars
of salt?” or “whence these blocks of granite?”
—“what aroused the vengeance of Jehovah
or of Allah to work these miracles of desola-
tion?”
And just as Maximo du Camp recorded the
answer of the modern Shemite at Kosseir, so
the compilers of the Jewish sacred books re-
corded thc answer of the ancient Shemite at
the Dead sea; just as Allahat Kosseir blasted
the land and transformed the melons into
bowlders which are seen to this day, so
Jehovah at Usdum blasted the land and trans-
formed Lot’s wife into a pillar of salt, which
is seen to this day.
No more difficulty was encountered in the
formation of the Lot legend to account for
that rock resembling the human form than
in the formation of the Niobe legend, which
accounted for a supposed human resemblance
in the rock at Sipylos; it grew up just as we
have seen thousands of similar myths and
legends grow up about striking natural ap-
pearances in every home of the human race.
Being thus consonant with the universal
view regarding the relation of physical
geography to the divine government, it be-
came a treasure of the Jewish nation and of
the Christian church—a. treasure not only to
be guarded against all hostile intrusion, but
to be increased,,as we shall see, by the myth
making powers of Jews, Christians and Mo-
hammedans for thousands of years—Andrew
D. White, LL. D., in Popular Science
Monthly.
Railroad Literature.
I spend a great deal of time traveling over
the railroads of the country, and naturally I
have something to do with the trainboy and
his stock in trade. I was in a reflective mood
the other day as I was carried along through
the mountains of W'est Virginia towards St.
Louis, and it occurred to me that in the last
ten years there had been a great improve-
ment in the quality of the literature sold on
the trains. Formerly the trainboy had noth-
ing to oflz'er one who wanted to read except
the most dreadful kind of sensational books
describing the exploits of burglars and confi-
dence men; or, if he found that his customer
was not that kind of a man, he would rush
to the other extreme and try to sell him a
volu'lne of Moody’s sermons. Nowadays the
newsboy hands you Howells, James and T01-
stoi, and mils the books, too, and even his
flashy stuff gets hardly lower than “That
Frenchman” of Gunter, or a book of Laura.
Jean Libbey. It may be that the taste Of the
reading part of the traveling public has
changed considerably in ten years, or it may
be that the news companies have more intel-
ligent men selecting the books to be sold on
the trains. ' At any 'rate we must all feel
grateful for tho change—Traveler in St.
Louis Globe-Democrat. .

What to do with the large space over the
mantelpiece when all the good sized pictures
are needed elsewhere is a puzzle to house-
keepers. It was solved very nicely by one
lady who had three small pictures, uniform
in size and resembling each other in subject.
She hung them like steps, the one at the left
being placed lowest, the one next it a little
higher, and the third _ higher still. It is a
new way to treat pictures, and affords a re-
lief from the time honored plan of hanging
two or three pictures at the same distance
from the molding and the third a. little higher
between them. '
Let ’Er Rip.
“George,” she said, as she lay quivering in
his tightly clasped arms, “what was the noise
I heard?”
“Nothing of importance, Gladys, darling,”
he answered. “A slight rip in my coat, that
was all.” - ,
.And then as the sound of two beatitgg
hearts slow] filled the room. and floa
through the door, she mutinured softly,
“George, dear, you couldn’t make that coat
rip a little more, could youi”—Clothier and
