Occupation—Vigorous Pursuit of Lee.
' The evacuation of Richmond andPeters-
burg began at dark (on the 2d of April, 1865.
The Union armies now invested Petersburg
except where the Appomattox river protected
it on the northwestern edge. Grant’s lines
rested upon the river below and, above the
town. The first step, after evacuation had
been decided upon was the destruction of
stores, boats, railroads, rolling stock and
bridges and public property generally. The
men on the very front of-the Union line could
hear the rumble of wheels on the bridges and
reported to headquarters that 'the sounds in
diCated evacuation.
LEE ABANDONS HIS STRONGHOLDS.
Sometime after midnight on the 3d, the
magazine at Fort Drury, on James river, lit
tle more than half way to Richmond, blew
up, lighting the whole heavens. It was plain-

ly visible on the Petersburg lines, and as it
was followed by other explosions, that of war
vessels and bridges, and by fires nearer to
Petersburg, it became very plain that a gen-
eral destruction was going on along Lee’s
twenty miles‘of defenses. However, the Con-
federate pickets were out in full force, and
every attempt of the Union pickets to ad-
vance was met by good volleys of musketry.
At daylight the order was given on the Ninth
corps line for pickets to advance to the ene-
my’s main trenches. They did so, and found
the batteries empty and the camps deserted
and denuded of everything valuable. Heavy
guns had not been removed. A few Confed-
erate skirmishers were overtaken, and it was
learned that the bulk of the army had been
gone for hours, the trains and‘artillery' hav-
ing begun to move at 8 o’clock p. m., the in-
fantry following. _ v
The brigade of Gen. Ralph Ely—Second
brigade, First division, Ninth corps—moved
rapidly toward the city on the river road, and
received the surrender about 4:30 a. In. The
First divisionwas promptly assembled and
marched in. by the regular roads. President
Lincoln reached the city about noon, Grant
was already there, and there was hearty re-
joicing among soldiery and citizensbecause
the tedious siege was over. News came from
Richmond that that stronghold had been en-
tered by Union troops at 8 o’clock in the
morning. The Army of the Potomac rested
around Petersburg, and Gen. Grant went out
on the‘South Side railroad, where 0rd Was
moving on a line parallel to that taken by
Lee, the Appomattox river between their
marching columns.
The experiences at Petersburg had been re-
peated at Richmond with the exception of
the assaults. The Union army confronting
the defenses of Richmond consisted of two
divisions of the Twenty-fifth corps of the
Army of the James. Gen. Godfrey Weitzel
commanded the corps, and now that Gen.
0rd had joined Grant with his main force,
Weitzel was in command in front of Rich-
mond. He had held his troops in readiness to .
assault for some days, but the success of the
turning movement had rendered that unne-
cessary. Inside of Richmond confusion
reigned all day on the 2d (Sunday), the day
of the successful Union assaults at Peters-
burg. The dispatches from Leeannouncing
his inability to hold the lines caused the ofii-
cers of the government to begin preparations
for a hasty flight. and as they did not wait
for night to cover their movements, the peo-
ple soon learned the truth and acted accord-
ingly. ' -
Gen. Ewell commanded a few local troops
in the defenses, and Gen. G. W. C. Lee, son
of Gen. R. E. Lee,
had a division 'in
the Confed e r a t 6
works at Chapin’s
Bluff, on James
river, seven miles
below the cit y.
These troops were
all put under or-
ders ready to move.

unionists betrayed their anxiety to be away
when the Union troops should come in.
Davis left the city at 8 o’clock, accompanied
by his cabinet, and the archives and treasure,
a sum unknown, but which included $275,000
of bank gold, were shipped in cars. Dark-
ness brought about a reign of terror. The
stores of ammunition were exploded by mili-
tary order, and the uncontrollable populace
took this for a signal for destruction. Large
warehouses containing tobacco, bacon and
other combustibles were fired by accident or
design, and the flames spread to other build-
ings. People gathered a few household goods
and rushed to the squares and other open
places '
The lower classes broke open liquor stores
and fed their frenzy by the free use of stimu-
lants. Pillage and outrage were added to
fire and terror. Amidst it all the explosives
contained in the magazines, which were hoist-
ed into the air, had theinfuses ignited and
new in all directions, hurling down frag-
ments Of iron upon the crowdg and sending
fire indiscriminately upon dwelling, store
and sanctuary. The Confederate troops were
all otherwise engaged, and the police were
powerless. The mob was hungry, ravenous
and drunken and rushed from one mad freak

to another, principally wreaking vengeance
on the property of the government and of;
public men;
The bridges by which the Confederate
troops were to evacuate the city were stocked
with barrels Of tar and pine knots, and these
were fired at daylight just as the troops of
Weitzel appeared before the works. No Con-
wfed‘erates were in sight. Theer between
theburied torpedoes was marked out by. flags,
and the army moved in without the loss 'of a
man or the firing of a gun. The Confederate
navy lying in J amee river and commanded
by. Admiral Semmes, of Alabama notoriety.
was destroyed by blowing up the vessels. . In
this way the new ram Virginia, the gunboats
Richmond and Fredericksburg were disposed.
Semmes and his sailors were formed into a
provisional brigade and sent to Danville, the
new capital that was to be.
When the Union troops were fixed in the
possession of the city, Gen. Charles Devens
was charged with the duty of restoring or-
der. His division stacked arms in .the streets,
and, with the aid of citizens, who were gen-
erally impressed for the service, they began
to put out the fires. Gen. Weitzel occupied
J efferson Davis’ mansion as his headquarters.
Gen. R. E. Lee’s wife and daughter were in
their home and were furnished a guard. Mrs.
Lee was an invalid confined to her room.
Libby prison was empty, the prisoners hav-
ing been removed and sent down the J ames
to the place of exchange. In the works
around Richmond and in -the arsenals and
foundries were about 500 heavy cannon that
cduld not be removed. Several thousand sick
and wounded Confederates were found in the
vicinity, and these, with several small de-
tachments captured- along the lines, became
Union prisoners of war in Libby prison.
LINCOLN IN RICHMOND.
then the news of the Union'occupation of
Richmondreached Petersburg, Admiral Por-
ter, who now commanded the fleet, took the
president on board and steamed up James
river, where he landed on the 4th. Mr. Lin-
coln went on shore alone, and was walking
the streets, inquiring his way of passers by,
when some of Gen. Weitzel’s aids met him
' and conducted him to headquarters in Davis’
deserted mansion. Here he inspected the
quarters of the fugitive Confederate Chieftain
and for a time sat in Davis’ office room in his
own accustomed chair.
While he was in Richmond, Mr. Lincoln
-' said to Gen. Weitzel that he believed that the
conquered people would be “let up easy.”
This was in accordance with his views ex-
pressed to Grant and Sherman in Hampton
Roads in February, at the time he received
the peace commissioners from Richmond.
Gen. Grant states in his memoirs that at that-
time Mr. Lincoln said that if the southerners
would agree to perpetual union and the aboli-
tion of slavery he would be “filling . to hand
them a blank sheet of paper with his signature
attached and let them state the terms them-
selves. These views, well known to the gen-
erals in the field, influenced them in their
stipulations for the surrender of Confederate
troops and positions. . _
While President Lincoln was in Richmond
Jefferson Davis was attempting to reorgan-
ize his capital at Danville, where some troops
had been ordered to report. Admiral Raphael
Semmes was made a brigadier general and
placed in command of the defenses, and his
naval brigade built and mounted intrench—
ments. On April 5 Davis announced by proc-
lamation that Virginia was to be abandoned
by the Confederate armies. Lee was now
concentrating his men in the vicinity of Ame-

lia Court House, on the Richmond and Dan;
ville railroad, about twenty-five miles west
of Petersburg. This point was south of the
Appomattox and Lee had to recross that
river. This movement placed him on the
same side with the Union army. The troops
from Richmond and from the works along
the James, between Petersburg and Rich-
mond, all joined Lee at Amelia Court House.
On the 5th he sent forward his artilery
on roads to the right of those upon which
the troops _marched, and he also formed a
column to attack Sheridan’s advance, now at
J etersville. Sheridan had sent out Custer’s
and Merritt’s divisions onthe morning of the
3d to strike Amelia Court House and head off
the retreating Confederates.
At the crossing of Deep Creek, Gen. W. H.
F. Lee’s command effectively checked the
pursuit, and Sheridan’s cavalry waited all
night for the Fifth, Second and Sixth corps
to come up. On the 4th, McKenzie’s division
of cavalry pushed on to within a few miles
of Amelia Court House, and, finding the en-
emy in force, halted and waited for infantry
supports to come up. The Fifth corps reached
the ground the same night. On the morning
of the 5th, Sheridan sent Davies’ brigade of
Crook’s division around the Confederate
flank to ascertain whether Lee was marching
off tettheanorth or not. At Painesville, five;
miles’mbrth of Amelia, Davies attacked a-
wagon train, burned it and returned, fol-
lowed by Munford’s and Rosser’s cavalry, and
driven back upon his supports.
On the morning, of ; the 6th Lee again took
up the march, moving along'hthe Danville
railroad toward Burkeville. 4 All the bridges
behind him had been destroyed, and the pur-
suit was on parallel Toads rather than in his
rear. The Second, Fifth and Sixth corps,
having been directed'On AmeliaCourt House,

UNAFFEGTED , BY SEASICKNESS.
An American Who Ate Heartiiy During the
Worst Weather at Sea.
When I erased in the City of Chicago there
was among the passengers one tall, fine look-
ing. placid eyed man who puzzled all the rest
of why the strangeness of his demeanor. I
did not meet him until we had been out four
days. He was seated in the dining saloon eat-
ing tripe and onions when the steward car-
ried me in for the first time to get me accli-
mated to, the odor of muttonbroth and ma-
chinery grease. Much as I then marveled at
the audacity of the stranger who partook of
tripe and onions with as much sang froid as
if the detestable compound had been angel
food, I marveled still more when I learned
from the steward that the man had eaten four
meals per diem‘ ever since the ship left the J ere
sey City pier.
Subsequently I learned from the tall,- flue
looking, placid eyed gentleman himself that
his name was Ezra Tomlinson and that he
lived at Wheeling, W. Va.; He was en route
to Paris to do the close of the exposition, and
I gathered from desultory'remarks that he
was a man of abundant wealth and one large-
ly interested in railroad securities. Much to
my amazement he told me that this was the
first voyage he ever’ had made; the ease and
the dignity with vvhich be resisted seasickness
had led me . to suppose that he was a veteran
seaman. He confessed to me that he had ex-
pected to be mOst seriously afflicted with mal
de mer. for he had heard ‘all his life of the
horrors of ocean travel. “However,” he add-
ed, cheerfully, “I have so far done so well that
I have hope of reaching Liverpool without
even so much as a suggestion of nausea.”
The sixth and seventh days of the voyage
were exceedingly tempestuous; the ship rolled
frightfully; out of fifty-two cabin passengers
fifty-one remained in bed all that hideous
time. In order to save myself from total dis-
solutibn I had the surgeon and purser nail me
to my berth. “Heaven be praisedl” I cried,
even in my torment; “heaven be praised that
at last we have a squall that will settle that
man from Wheeling!”
“Oh, no; not at all sir,” said Dr. McSwinny,
“he’s been walking the deck all day and wont
dering whether we shall have a continuation
of fair weather to-morrow.”
Then the purser' told me that Tomlinson
had eaten bacon and eggs > for breakfast and
had expressed a desire for a boiled dinner at
6 o’clock! Oh, how I learned to hate that
man Tomlinson from Wheeling!
During the whole voyage he was as chipper
and hearty as you please ;' his appetite was so
brutally vigorous as toshock all the rest of
us. We were heartily glad when we parted
company, with him at Liverpool. “If ever
again,” we said, disregardful of the Irishism,
“if ever again we' make a voyage with a
IVheeling man we’ll stay at home.”
But six weeks' later, On board a wretched
transport from Calais to Dover, who should
turn up but that Self Same Ezra Tomlinson,
of \Vheeling, IV. Va.! He had done the ex-
position and was going homeyhe was as calm,
as placid, as self pessessed as ever. ' The chan-
nel was unusually rough that night; all the
officers and crew were sick, and even the
donkey engine turned pale With emotion; as
for the passengers, they were all so very,
wretched that they prayed for death to re-"
licve them—all but Tomlinson, and he seemed
to wonder at it, as if he could not by any
means understand why everybody else took
on so. The ship floundered like a porpoise,
standing first on one end and then on the
other, sometimes lurchin g heavily to the right
and then swinging with a mighty groan the
other way—oh, it was simply awful!
Fivehours of this indescribable misery, and
we were landed at Dover. When Tomlinson
sauntered leisurelyinto the custom house he
found me stretched upon a baggage truck.
“Sir,” said I, feebly, “will you kindly grant
the last request of one who feels that he is in
articulo mortis? Is it possible—tell me truly
, '——is it possible that you are wholly ins'ensible
to the tortures of ocean travel? You seem to
have borne without the slightest qualm the
storms of the Atlantic and the tempests of the
channel; I do not understand it—before I go
to my eternal reward elucidate this mystery,
I beg.” ‘
“Indeed, sir,” he answered, “it is quite as
mysterious to me to hear you speak of storms
and tempests, and I have wondered to see so
many of my fellow passengers succumb
around me. As for myself, I have never be-
fore enjoyed quieter travel than that which
you call tempestuous.” '
“Sir,” I shrieked, in a frenzy of exaspera-
tion, “who are you-in what necromantic or
diabolical art are you skilled that you thus
calmly defy the malignant boisterousuess of
wind and wave?” '
“Since you require me to be explicit,” an-
swered Mr. Tomlinson, quietly, “I will tell
you that 1 am and for twelve years have been
a director in an American railroad. ”—Eugene
Field’s Letter in Chicago News.
The Cost of Asbestos.
When “cobbed” the asbestos is graded ac-
cording to purity, color and length of fiber
into three grades and bagged for shipment.
The finest quality, or "firsts,” find ready
sales at prices ranging from $80 to $110 per
ton; “seconds” fetch from $50 to $70 per ton,
while “thirds” may be valued at $13 to $15
per ton. In good mines the yield of asbestos
is from 3 to 5'per cent. of the rock quarried,
and the cost of mining may be put down at
$25 to $30 per ton. Returns obtained by the
geological survey of Canada show that for
the year 1888 Canada’s output was 4,404 tons,
valued at the mines at $255,000, and this the
output of nine different mines. Over three-
fourths of the whole was shipped to the
United States, small quantities going to Great
Britain, Germany, France, Belgium and
Italy, and being used in domestic manufact-
wing—Popular Science.
Italians in London.
The Italians are a gregarious people. They
are poor, thrifty, social and contented. They
herd together in a country in which they
find the language strange and the cookery
stranger. 'MaDy. of them settled near the
W'est Kensington district after the exhibition
of 1888 had closed, and when Barnum added
“Nero” to his attractions the impresario found
much ofhis raw material handyto Olympia.
The contingent gradually increased till the
neighborhood of Olympia has become a kind
‘ v of suburban Hutton Garden. The barrel organ
business has found a new center of activity,
and art and music are brought together, as
Melbury road knows to its cost.——Pall Mall
Gazette.
Death from Poisoning.
A fatal case of poisoning is related of a wo-
man employed only six months in a type
foundry, who, in spite of warning, ate with
unwashed hands and died of anaemia, colic
and convulsions; ' Lead poisoning also occurs
in workmen who finish furs dyed with prepa-
rations of lead. Women should demand furs
prepared without poisonous dyes for their own
safety as well as that of the workers who
handle them—Washington Star. ‘ '
An Inetructivc Visit.
A number of Denver aldermen visited
San Francisco for the purpose of studying
the management of our municipal aflairs.’
“A most instructive visit,” remarked one of
them to a native. “You found much to ad-

much to avoid.”--San Francisco Examiner.

The spaces under cabinets should'fin any case,

for china, papers, etc. If made for a library
the enrichments would probably be carved
instead of inlaid. The dimensions are as fol-

This design of a simple little work table is
framed upon rather unusual lines so as to an-
swer a double purpose. The body is diamond
shaped and arranged for the reception of
needlework. This is provided with two lids,

the shape of the €21?

A small rack is at the side for the reception
of a blotting case, which, thus placed, would
always be ready to hand. It is also fitted to
serve in the capacity of an ordinary table for
“at home” purposes.
When required for use as a work tabl one
flap should remain closed and the other
should be turned right back upon the center
strip of wood to which both of them are at-
tached. This would make the interior more
accefiible and bring the lid into play as a
convenient table for needlework requisites.
In construction it should consist in the main
of a light open wooden framework, with silk
or plush introduced as a background. ‘ As
will be seen, the under rail is provided with
an upholstered foot rest. '

A Low Cost Laundry.
Nothing is more troublesome in connection
with housekeeping than the laundry prob-
lem. In a large house where plenty of money
is provided an immunity from its cares may
be purchased, but in the low cost houses in
which the large number of people live, its
cares and annoyances are always present.
The complication of doing the washing in a
kitchen where other work is being done is
disagreeable beyond description. Hence the
graphic expression “blue Monday.” A laun-
dry may .very readily be arranged in the.
hamment at a very low cost. All that is
needed is a slop sink connected with an out-
side vault, a fine for a cheap laundry stove
and light from the outside. This is not as
satisfactory as set tubs, but where a pump is
provided next to a cast iron sink there is wa-
ter at hand which may be heated on the
stove and a place to pour water from the
tubs when it has been used. It runs through
atrapped drain to a vault or sewer as the
case may be. If the cellar, is large enough,
most of the drying of the clothes may be
done therein. For the most part a cellar is a
cool place in summer and a warm one in
winter. ,Where the foundation work does
not extend a sufiicient distance above ground!
to give good light, small areas'may be pro-
vided.
