and held an interesting session.
Mrs. l*’red Cameron appeared be
fore tlie council and on behalf of
the women of the town urged that
the sevVer from the lire hall lo

he repaired before a pestilence
broke out in the burg. She also
called the attention of I he coun
cilman In the condition of the op

city, into which ilie old tin cans,
garbage and refuse is being
thrown. The councilmen were not
slow lu act and immediately or
dered the town marshal and the
health officer to have the old sew
er repaired and cleaned and the
creek cleaned and kept clean.
The United States District At
torney sent a communication to

menace to the morals of the com
munity. The district attorney
threatened to take action for its

The council decided to have a

(JeneraJ’ Jnseilh Tk.! Johnslon, 1
with the last armed force (of any
importance) of the Confederacy,
surrendered to Oeneral WJ. T.
Sherman 18 years ago—on April
i6, 1805.
On (he I8lh of April Oenerals I
Johnslon and Sherman they j
were close friends, hy Ihe way,!
and remained such lo Ihe last
and. at Durham station, N. 0., j
where a conference was In hi !
which resulted in an agreenienl.!
Johnston telegraphed Ihe pro-|
posed agreement lo Mr. Davis and
was hy that official ordered lo ar- 1
rept it. In Ihe meantime, Ihe
Washington authorities Presi
dent Lincoln was now dead re- ;
jected Ihe basis of agreement, and !
Sherman nolifled Johnston that
in 18 hours he would resume lms- |
tililies against him. This was on
the 2ilh. On Ihe 2(51 h Sherman i
had another conference with!
Johnslon, at which he convinced j
him that further lighting would J
he •‘murder,” and offered him the
same lonus that (Irani had given
Lee. With such understanding
Johnson surrendered.
Sherman s original terms, as
offered to Johnston on the IHIh.
were in strict keeping with Mr.
Lincoln's purpose, ami it is cer
tain that hail the great president
lived they would never have been
countermanded. The surrender
would have taken place under that
broad, noble basis, and the “ten
years of hell,” known as “Recon
struction,” would never have dis
graced our country's annals.
THUNDER.
{By fieorge Fitch.}
Thunder is Nature's favorite
and greatest blulf.
It is the most tremendous and
impressive mf noises. A robut
elap of thunder can be heard for
twenty miles, and can sour the
milk in ten thousand refrigerat
ors. Few things inspire man with
more awe than a peal of thunder,
rolling majestically from cloud to
cloud, and grumbling slowly out
of hearing, like a titanic lion who
has had a mass meeting for
brehkfast and isn’t satisfied. Many
times a year thunder fills the
closets of this country with
frightened women, but it has nev
er hui't any one. No one can be
iblamed for paying attention to a
(dog’s bark, because in that case
j the noise precedes the danger, but
(it. is foolish to flee from thunder.
1 By the lime an adult thunder clap
lias crushed into the conversation
{and lias jarred the chandeliers.
Hie lightning, of which it pretends
; to lie a warning, has already
'messed up | In.* vicinity and relirou
lo parts unknown. Thunder is
' I tic great "I told y mi so" of I lie
rl*»nn*iils, ami is as usriiu as a
wliisl le on I Im reni- end of a I rain.
.Thunder is vcr> ini|ii,i*ssj\e. like
campaign oratory, ami is llm on
ly Iliing which exceeds il in gran
deur. Thunder is produced by
vasl ipianlilics of air lushing in
:lo a vacuum, while campaign or
atory is usually produced in ex
jael.ly the opposite manner. There
I are many points of similarity ho
. tween Nature’s greatest noise, and
I man’s loudest remark, however.
The man who can fill an auditor
ium with ponderous reverberating
phrases, which do not mean any
thing, even when they can he
heard four blocks, .is usually more
feared tiian the speaker who uses
tH^wift, scathing simile in a
(|i|[ voice, and doestatd will one
collar a week.
In order to make "adtfngle clap
of thunder it is necessary for Na
ture to employ several million
volte of eleotricity in burning a
vacuum in the air. This is a
great waste of power and also of
npise. If the electricity cannot be
wheedled into captivity by scien
tists; our inventors •? should1 take
up the task of canning the thun
der peal and working it up into
jury arguments and stump
speeches.
