The First Meeting nf the TwnSuljiers Dur
ing the Mexican War.
From The Ilaltimore Sun.
Entertaining papers giving reminis
cences of "The Lost cause" were read
yesterday afternoon at a meeting of the
Daughters of tho Confederacy. In a
paper prepared by Mr. (icorge Savage
and read by Mts. I). (Jiraud Wright, was
described the first meeting of General
Robert K. Lee and General George B.
McClellan, us General MeClellan had
related the facts to Mr. Savage in the
summer of 187.
"It was near the City of Mexico,
during tho Mexican war," said General
MeClellan to Mr. Savage, "that I first
met my future great opposing commander.
I was a lieutenant of engineers and Lee
was a major of engineers and a favorite
on the staff of General Winfield Scott.
I was walking along across a field one
day when I saw General Seott and his
staff approaching on horseback. As the
party drew near to me Major Lee reined
up his horse and, addressing me in an
angry tone, said.
" 'Lieutenant, don't you know you are
disobeying orders? What is your name?"
I told him my name was MeClellan
and that I did not know I was disobeying
orders.
'All officers have been told to remain
in their quarters and await orders.' he
exclaimed, still appearing very angry.
I replied that no such order had
reached me, and he then peremptorily
ordered me back to my quarters, and
hastened away lo join General Scott and
tho rest of the staff, who had not stopped.
"l returned across the held to my
quarters, feeling much injured, for I had
not knowingly committed any breach of
discipline. I complained to my fellow
officers of Major Lee's treatment of me
Scarceiy had I finished my story when I
was told that there was an officer outsid
who wished to sec me, and I was greatly
surprised lo find Major Leo seated there
upon his horse, lie saluted and
returned the salute.
Lieutenant MeClellan,' he said,
ear that in our meeting just now 1 was
.liscourteous in tunc-or manner, and
bavc come to express to vou the reuret
which, under the circumstances, agcntli
mau should.'
"I assured him that it was all righ
ind with a salute and a low bow, which
I feelingly returned, he rode away
leaving me lost in admiration of i
superior officer who could so promptly
and so generously repair an error."

The happy man who is willing to only

have any.
A happy Christian is always a useful

It is a waste of time to watch a

Believing right has everything to do
willi feeling right.
It is much safer to have the devil's
war than his peace.
Doing good will pay better in the end
than digging gold.
Whenever you make a mistake, make
it teach you something.
It is as unpopular to be the true child
of God today as it ever was.
If you would have God with you whin
the storm comes, begin to pray before it
clouds up.
There are some preachers who never
seem to take any interest in the subject
of religion.
The pleasures of sin arc pleasures only
while you forget that the wages cf sin is
death.
The devil never thinks it worth while
to answer back when a stingy man talks
in church.
Mansions are being prepared in heaven
only for those who are candidates for
their ownership.
If we knew what our enemies have
suffered our enmity would often die a
sudden death.
The man who wants to do better than
he has done, may look to Christ and sny
that he will do it.
Many troubles are like dogs. Itun
from them and they will follow you.
Turn against them and they will fly.
During the whole time Christ was on
earth, only two people "ave enough to at

becauso of the near approach of death, is

of his polite and hearty attentions, let

one of the delegates with.

The dog merchant assured the would
be purchaser that they wero old enough
to be raised without any difficulty, and,
after adding that they were Populist
puppies, finally succeeded in disposing of
two ot them.
A couple of weeks later the Democrats
held their convention in the same town,
aud the two remaining pups were offered
for sale.
"What are their politics?" inquired a
member of the convention,

"Speaking of queer things," said the
man with the red nose as a troubled ex
pression eluuded bis face, "something
happened to mo when I was living in
South Bend which has bothered me not
a little. I have told the story to per
haps 2IMI different people, but Done of
them was able to solve the mystery."
Something tells me that I can do it,"
said the Cincinnati drummer, "and you
can crack right ahead wilh your yarn."
" Well, I went down town one evening
to sec a man. My wife coaxed me lu
slay at home, but I had business of itu
portancc to Irausact. I promised her to
bo ut home at sharp 10 o'clock, however,
and to be sober. As I went out she inti
mated that if I didu't show up till mid
night, and was boozy ut that, something
might happen to me, but of course I tuok
that as a joke."
"Did you meet your man?" asked
the drummer.
"Yes, I met him all right, and we put
in a pleasant two hours together "
"Drink anything?"
"Two glasses of lemonade, and it was
very weak stuff al that. About half past
1 1 I started for home. It was a beauti
ful starlight night, and in walking a
mile I saw as many as a dozen falling
stars. One of them struck in the street
not ten feet away."
"Well, you got home?'1
" Yes, I got home. My wife had gone
to bed and left the hall light burning for
me. I took off my hat and overcoat and
was about to stop out into the kitchen to
get a drink of water when I suddenly lost
consciousness. It was noon of the next
day when I came to."
"Any wounds?" queried the drummer.
"Yes. I had been struck on the head
and received a bad scalp wound. You
can feel the scar right here under my
fingers. The doctor couldn't make it
out, nor has any one else been able to.
o burglar nad entered the house nor
did I have an enemy. I am inclined to
believe lhat I was struck by a tailing
star, and yet how could it enter the
house ? There was no lightning to strike
me down, nor could I have been over
come with vertigo and fallen and hurt
myself. It vey.es me nnd annoys tue.
and I wish tli2 mystery could be eleaied
up."
"I'll clear it up for you," replied the
drummer. "Precisely such a thing hap
pened to mo once precisely ouly I
didu't come to for four days. Didu't it
ever occur to you that your wile was
waititiir there in the hall, and that she
struck you down with a club ?"
"Mercy, no !''
' That's what happened to you and me
and will happen to thousands of others,
Your wife cracked your coeoaout."
"Is it possible f gasped the victim
"Now th it I think of it."
"Now that you think of it you remem
bcr that when you came to she had her
jaw set and an iey look in her eye?"
"Just SO just 90."
"And about the first words she spoke
to you were that it served you right, and
next time you'd come home sober and at
a reasonable hour."
"Exactly just her words. And I
wasn't struck by a falling slat?"
"Not at all, sir."
"But by my own wile?"
"By your own wife, sir."
"And you could have solved tho
mystery any time in the last six years?"
"Any time, day or night."

lily. The most searching and influential
power that issues from any human life is
that of which ihe person himself is
largely unconscious. It flows from him
in every form of occupation, in every
relationship, in rest or iu woik, in silence
or in speech, at homo or abroad. There
are hosts of men and women who are
healers and teachers and helpers almost
without consciousness of ihe fact.
Light shines from them and help flows
from them at times whi n they are utterly
unconscious that the hem of garment is
being touched. The real test of the
possesion of the liigest power of character
and the most perfect devotion to the
noblest things in life is not the quality
of the direct touch; it is the presence of
the virtue even in the hem of the garment.
