There were many peculiarities in the habits and characacter of Lee which are but little known, and may be studied with profit. 11 studiously avoid'-dgivingop-inions upon subjects w hich it had not been his callings or training to investigate; and sometimes I thought he carried this great virtue too far. Neither the pies ident, nor Congress, nor friends could get his views upon any pub lie question not strictly military and no man has as uiueli quiet, unobtrustive contempt for what he called ' military statesmen and political generals," Meet ing him once in the streets of Richmond, I said tohim: "Gen eral, I wish you would give .us your opinnioii as to the prop priety of changing' the seat of.

"Ah, General." I said, "but you will have to change that rule, and form and express political opin ions, for if we establish our inde pendence, the people will make you Mr. Davis' successor." Nev er, sir," he replied with a firm dignity that belonged to Lee. "That 1 will never permit. What ever talents I nmv possess (and they are but limited) are milli tary. I think the inillitary and eival talents re distinct, if not different, and full duty in either sphere is about as much as one man can qualify himself to per form. I shall not do the people the injustice to accept high ciyil office with whosequestions it has not been my business to become familiar." "Well, but, General," I insisted, ''history does not sus tain your view. Caesar and Fred erick, ot Prussia, and Bonaparte were great Statesmen, as well as great generals." "And yreat tyrants," he promp tly replied. ' 1 speak of the prop er rule in republics, where I think we should have neither military statesmen nor political gener als." "But Washington was both und yet not a tyrant," I repeat ed. And with a beautiful smile he said: "Washington was an excep tion to all rules, and there wus none like him." I could find no words to an swer further, but instantly Isaid in thought, "Surely Washington is no longer the only exception, for one like him, ll not even grea ter is here."
