‘Well .well,’ declared a friend, as Gen. Fitz Hugh Lee rode by at the head of a division behind Phil. Sheridan, ‘I never thought I should live to see this day? The gray uniforms of the troops irom Virginia, Maryland and the Carolinas came after the stalwart ax-confederate following the Sheridan division of Pennsylvanians in the regulation uniforms of the United States.— Lee, erect, burly, and heavily mounted, was surrounded by a personal staff of ex-confed-erates. The same cheers that had greeted Sheridan rent the air for Fitz Hugh Lee They reminded us that the war of the rebellion was ended. The presence of Lee and the men bearing the national flag were not needed to remind us which way it had been finally determined. But it was a nleasing and instructive sight.-Wash-ing Cor.

One of Governor Curtin’s Boys.

Governor Curtin, who is quite a oouspiouous figure at Washington, both in Congress and the social circle, created a eensation at the theater the other ni ht," says a dispatch. He has been anxious to see Henry Irving, and told Mrs. Curtin and their daughter, Mrs. Wilson, to go and he would meet them there. “They need not • ngage a seat for him. No, no; ne would get a seat and be gall right,” he said, as they The House staid in session on the River and Harbor bill until it was quite late, and by the time the Governor reached the theater there was standing room only and very little of that. He wedged himself In along on of tho side aisles and hap paaed in front of some men who ware perched upon a windowsill. One of them touched him on the shoulder and told him to stand aside. Just then abi double fisted fellow, who was standing close by, pointed his index finger up at three windowsill ornaments with the firm inquiry; “Do you know who you’re sbov’en? That’s ex-GovernorJ Curtin, our old war Governor.” Then getting louder: “I’m one of the boys; .1 served under you-Governor; nobody shall shove you around where I am; git down off that window-sill.” he shouted; “git do tvn quick,” and as theyslidjfromjtbeir roost he yelled: “Shill I knocK them down, Governor? shill I knock them down?” and the fellow fairly danced with excitement. By this time the door-keepers had reached the parties, when Curtin’s protector shouted: “Git the old Governor a seat.” and pulling out a roll of bills “git him a seat.* 1 he continued in a voice that silenced th« actors on the stage. “Git him a seat; here’s the.money for it.” There was one private box not yet occuoied and rhe managers were glad to rush •Curtin into it to end the scene that was not on the bills. ‘One of the boys,” as he called himself then took his station in the middle aisle, and for the rest of the evening gazed Intently into the private box at the old War Governor, who during the .melee was unable to avoid the at tention he was receiving. It created mor® amusement and applsuse-than any scene in the play.

It Was Her Papa.

[New York Letter.] X.ast night the Liederkranz society its annual ball For the first time 4 was given at the Opera House, wliic i vae superbly decorated for the occasion I*l9 always been habit of many f uo loviug society matrons go to this ball bien •nusque bein entendn-and spend the Gening in taking ’'kisses” out of their men friends present, but never have there been so many as this time The boom given to the ball by its new locality and -curiosity to see how the little back parlor system would work brought them out in force, and men had the unet<y •onsciousness thatthat freedom which sso enjoyed at the 'French balls was ■ mot sufflcently guaranteed here to be indulged in and modeled their converlational efforts accordingly lest they should find themselves entertaining an . ingel unawares in the shape ofa friend’s wife or sister. It would be cruel to 'uentlon names, so your readerswill have vO be content with the following outlin" as interesting a little edisode as ever •ame to the notice of the writer: a well-known man in the beau mondi fell * victim early in the evening to the -charms oi a particularly fascinating ittle siren.

[Bpeei«l to the Ciocninati Knquirer.J While Judge Kelly was in con ver-. ratios with pwident Cleveland, Recet. ry of War Lincoln came in with the xnmniM'oD of General Grant as a retired gepesl of the army.

The Big Land Steal.

Senator Van Wyck opened up his batteries yesterday on the recent big land steal of Louisianu lauds. He denounced it as ‘ infamous,’and it was a matter Of sincere regret that the last act of the administration should have been performed at the dictation and in .th 6 interest of corporate wealth- Take a sample o! this Republican’s denunei ation of the latest swindle of his party representataves: What right had the President aod Cabniet to waive broken conditions? That power was vested in Gongress alone But why this haste? Why should the clerks work nights and insult the religous element of the N&lion by working on Sunday? What is the necessity, public or otherwise? This Republic was not to perish on the 4th of March. Itsconiinutity was not to be disturbed by changing the executive. There was to be no suspension of powers and duties. AH other business in the Interior Depaptmort was concluded b> March 4th. Did.other excutive departments work their forces nights and Sunday so that the new ndmistration might start with only new business? The people should asu why this haste.? Was it dangeriais to trust the repsentatives of the people in the next congress? was it dangerous to trust the incoming! administration to do justice to the men claiming this grant? Was there danger' that the rights of settlers on thoes land-: would be recognized and the publicdomain protected by the encoming administration? If ho then it evidently: had been installed to soon. He desired to give public notice that the legality of the patents wou d be contested, so that the purchasers of the bonds now to be issued might not claim the protection accorded innocent purchasers without notice.

A Good, Healthy Snake Story. In North Carolina there is a reptile known as the joint snake. When attacked it flies to pieces, each piece taking cpre of itself. A darkey attacked one of them one day, and to his utter amazement it broke ail np, each section jumping off in a different direction. In the course cf ar hour lie returned that way and was utterly amazed again to see it all to; .to er except the tail piece. After wa : : ug a few minutes be saw the tail comi?-g up to join the body, taking sharp, qv.'. k little jerks. It came nearer and n: rer until within a few inches of threequarter snake, when it gave a sudden jump and hitched on in its proper place with a fuss resembling the popping of a cap. The darkey knocked it to pieces several times, and each time it came together again. He carried his amusement too far, however, in throwing the tail part of the snake across the creek, just to see, he said, “how long it would take it to catchup,” but it never caught up. The snake, with its three joints, was carried to the house, where a new tail is beginning to grow to replace the lost one. A gentleman who knows much about this singular species says a head will grow on the detached trunk, and there wiS-be two snakes instead of one.— Charleston Jtewe and

ALoBf Sleep. Aeettem tenons hfetorieal desert mail va® brought from Egypt to England aa a conchologwal specimen in the year 1846. This particular mollusk (the only one of his race, probably, who ever attained to individual distinction) at the time of his arrival in London was really alive and vigorous, but as the authorities of the British museum, to whose tender care he was consigned, were ignorant of this important fact in his economy, he was gummed, mouth downward, on a piece of cardboard, and duly labeled and dated with scientific accuracy, “Helix desertorum, March 25,1846.” Being a snail of a retiring and contented disposition, however, accustomed to long-droughts and corresponding naps in his native sand wastes, our mollusk thereupon simply curled himself up into the topmost recessin his own whorls, and went placidly to sleep in perfect contentment for an unlimited period. Every conchologist takes it for granted, of course, that the shells which he receives from foreign parts have had tbeir inhabitants properly boiled and extracted before being exported; ’or it is only the mere outer shell or ske'eton of the animal that we preserve in onr cabinets, leaving the actual flesh and mucles of the ’ creature himself to wither unobserved upon the native shores. At the British i museum the desert-snail might have snoozed away his inglorious existence unsuspecteted, lint for a happy accident which attracted public attention to hi» i remarkable case in a most extraordin- ; ary manner. On March 7, 1850, nearly i four years latter, it was casually observi ed that the card on which he reposed was slightly discolored : and this discovery led to the sus; icion that perhaps ' a living animal might be temporarily i immured within that papery tomb. The museum authorities accordingly ordered our friend a warm bath (who shall say hereafter that science is unfeeling ?) i upon which the grateful snail, waking I up at the touch of the familiar moisI ture, put his head cautiously out of his ' shell, walked up to the top of the basin, and began to take a cursory survey of the British institution with his four eye-bearing tentacles. So strange B i recovery from a long torpid condition, only qualified by the seven sleepers of Ephesus, de-erved an exceptional amount of scientific recognition. The desert-snail at once awoke and found himself famous. Nay, he actually sat for his portrait to an eminent zoological artist, Mr. Waterhouse, and a wood-cut from the sketch thus produced, with a history of his life and adventures, may be found even unto this day in Dr. Woodward’s “Manual of the Mollusoa,” to witness if I lie.— The Comhill Magazine. Taking time by the Forelock. “Oh, mamma, my doll has got an awful cold,” said little Mattie, the other day, “and I must have some whisky to give it.” “Who told you whisky was good for a cold,” asked her mother. “That’s what papa says he takes it for.” “Oh, yes, he says that, but he hasn’t got any cold.
