Chicago. Feb, 10. In the memoirs of Jefferson Davis, recently published by his widow, many pages are devoted to a description of the "Tortures of Fortress Monroe," of which district Gen. Miles, now at the division of the Missouri, was in command at the time Davis was im prisoned there. Mrs. Davis charge Gen. Miles with cruelty to the ex-presi-den of the Confederacy. He is charged with shackling Davis by brutal force, keeping him in a vermin-infested cell, withholding his clothes and linen and making souvenirs out of his possessions, even his hair, when he had it cut. Gen. Miles was interviewed in regard to the matter. He said be did not mind the attack. "Of .course,' he added, "Mrs. Davis feels bitter towards me, as she probably does towards many more northern soldiers. While caring noth ing at all for anything she may say or write, I would call your attention to tH fact that Jefferson Davis managed t) survive my cruel treatment and livei twenty years after, finally dying of 'l age. That would hardly nave bees L case, I think. St be had been subxtsi to suthorrible aBsssa. There, is not a particle of truth in the statements made by his wife. The fact is that Jeff Davis never was in better trim than "when he was liberated.M Cl'BED BI THE LYMPH. ' . A Consumptive Restored hy ltw Keek's Bemedy Spurlou Lymph Cuaaee Death. St. Lous,; Feb,. 10. W. A. Walters, who entered the Missouri hospital Jan. 21 a consumptive, leaves cured. All the known tests fail to reveal the slightest trace of consumption or tuberculosis of the lnngs, and, so far as medical experts are able to ascertain, Koch's lymph has performed the wonderful cure. Walters was a consumptive for more than a year. - w - ' ": ."' Spurious Lymph.' Kansas City, Feb. 10. Was John B. Ells murdered? That is the question which Coroner Langsdale and an able corps of assistants endeavored to decide at a post-mortem examination of the body at Stine'a morgue. : Ells died at the city hospital from the effects of an injection of what was said to be Dr. Koch's lymph. There is a great deal of interest taken in the case among the members of the medical profession. There is a great deal of doubt as to the genuineness of the fluid injected. The' deceased wife is loud in her dennnci tion of Dr. Banm, who administered the lymph, and says that she and her family were ignorant of the experiment. The coroner is very skeptical on the subject of Dr. Koch's treatment and when he learned of Ells'' death he determined that a thorough investigation and a post mortem examination should be made. Want a Skip Canal. ' Walla Walla, Wash., Feb. 10. The Columbia and Snake Hirer Ancil lary Waterway convention, consisting of delegates from Washington, Oregon, and Idaho, has adopted resolutions ex pressing belief that a ship railway, as recommended by the Oregon delegation in congress, is the most economical, satisfactory and expeditious plan for a permanent improvement of the dalles of the Columbia river. The memorial to the legislatures of Washington, Oregon and Idaho sets forth that financial dis tress prevails in the territory drained by the Columbia, on account of inability of the railroad companies to move the grain crop at the proper time, and as a temporary relief urges the construction of a portage railway around the cas cades and dalles, in order that the river may be made navigable to the inland empire. Santa Fe-IMo Grande Absorption. Salt Lake City, Utah, Feb. 10. A rumor is current in railroad circles here that a deal is on foot which will result in the absorption of the Rio Grande Western bv the Santa Fe company. Presidents Manville and Palmer, of the respective roads, have both been here during the last few days and made trips of inspection of the western lines, and surface indications seem to give plausi bility to the report that Aconsohdaiion is being arranged. Having purchased the Colorado Midland, with a terminus at Grand Junction, the acquirement of the Western would give the Santa Fe increased advantages in obtaining coast business and doubtless accelerate an ex tension to San Francisco from Salt Lake via the Yosemite Pass.

Late advices from Zanzibar show that there ia no founda tion for the report that Commander Wiseman n's mind had become affected. Earon Wissmann, on his return to the German east coast , of Africa, found t Lings in a deplorable condition and roost of what he had accomplished nn dane. The natives were insolent and tla Arabs vrere resuming tha open traf s in slaves. He ascertained that the llish,hUe -professedly friendly, weTpreading false reports among the native tribes as to the power and Jjjtea tbns of the Germans, and that a wide reread impression prevailed that Ger r :y waa simply an appendage of Criit Britain. Wissmann ' undertook vicrons measures to bring things hack to their former standard. Ee put sev ere! of the natives to, death who were captured in the act of selling slaves, and he rebuked the insolence of the native chiefs by compelling them . to come be fore him and again, in the most sub missive manner, declare their allegiance fo Germany. ' He is now engaged im making war upon some tribes that still defy . the German authority. The re ports of his insanity he attributes to English officials who are anxious to see him removed from the coast, in order that they may have some easier man to deal with. . Goes Without - aylng. London, Feb. 11. The Guild hall memorial of citizens of London to the czar in favor of more lenient treatment of the Russian Jews was returned to Lor Salisbury from St.' Petersburg wi' Jut any comment, through liaron Dc 1. t!"B Russian ambassaaor. Its signers, cf t 1 1 memorial are ind-it fcnd, L Von De&taal, snubbed Zla;or Savoy, Uking no notice of him, and banded the reply to Lord Salisbury. There is good authority for stating that the memorial has not injured, but has rather helped the Russian Jews, lt.was forwarded to the czar through Gen. De Ileichter. who is charged with the re cention of oetitiona addressed to the autocrat, and whose duty it is to make a summary or sucn memorials lor tne czar's personal perusal. In this case, it is understood, the petition was submit ted to the czar without being summar ized. 1 1t is also stated that the czar was pleased with the respectful manner in which he was spoken of in the petition, and that while it would be derogatory to his dignity to change a line of policy on such a memorial, yet that instruc tions have been Riven to alleviate the harshness of the anti-Jewish laws in their administration. A Poor Maa Stand a Poor Show. London, Feb. 11. Aveling, the so cialist, having failed to make the de posit required by the English law on the Dart of a candidate for Darliament. has been compelled to retire from the contest in JNorthampton, ms nomina tion being void. When the Social Dem ocratic federation refused to advance money for Aveling's candidacy it was thought that tne Tones would do so in order to keep him in the field and divide the Liberal vote. The Tories, however, chary of any dealings with Aveling for fear that he might afteward expose the connection between them and it, re Bolved to let Aveling shift for himself. This assures a Liberal victory at North ampton, and is a great relief to Mr. Henry Labouchere, who did not want A person of Aveling's record as an asso ciate in representing that place. ' Aro Catholics Eligible. London, Feb. 11. In the house of commons Mr. Causton. Liberal member for South Wark, asked the government whether, under existing laws and with out further legislation. Catholics were eligible to the offices of lord chancellor of the United Kingdom and viceroy of Ireland. Attorney General Sir Richard Webster answered that lawyers diifered on the question, which would become a practical one requiring solution if any government should appoint a Roman Catholic to either of the offices named. Our Advantages in IlraxM. London, Feb. 11. Sir James- Fergu son, of the foreign office, answering a question to parliament relating to the American reciprocity treaty with Bra zil, and as to whether Great Britain would have equal commercial advan tages in Brazil with those bestowed by the treaty on the United States, replied that Great Britain had no commercial treaty with Brazil and could not, there fore, demand the some trading rights as those bestowed by the treaty on the United States. .

EEJllXISCKXCn ISP INCIDENTS OF TUI UTS ESSZUIO.V A Dleaatrou CuuUMaao-Tu WtUUrao " Oace Hare Other lateraeUug Halter ter Tat. Ilaatro Fire, Among the many good shots made by the artillery on both sides, I think one made by the Tenth Indiana bat tery will rank away along up among the best The Tenth battery, then under command of Captain Cox, was attach ed to Wagner a brigade of General Woods1 Sixth division. At the battle of Stone River, December Sd, 1882, it wat posted on the left of the rail road in the field just south of the round forest, and from fifty to one hundred feet from where 5now stands tha llasen monument. After doing splendid work through tha heat of the battle it waa reserved for them to crown their day's work with the most splendid shet ever seen. ' , V Everything on the right of the rail road be:.v defeated and driven back, a new line was formed along tha tracx of tha rtiiriad from Wagner's brigade to the rear, thus leaving it3 Tenth Indiana bajttery and its infantry sup port at the point of the angle made if this new formation. . After the new formation tha field from the railroad wet, across the Nashville pike to the Cedar forest that had been fought' over to fiercely that morning, became tbe neutral ground on which either army must fight to pass. , The last attempt tbe confederates made on the front gave Capt Cox an opportunity to put in a flank shot in full battery on a line of infantry not fifty yards away that he took advant age of and executed wjth a result most horrible to witness. ' A charging column was formed by the confederates on tbe high ground to the southwest of the burned Craven house, and in splendid ! order came across that field until their right flank was opposite and' some fifty yards from tbo battery. Cox, in' the mean time, saw the direction they were tak ing and thinking they might offer their flank to hint, wheeled hit six guns to the riSit, placing them to bear on a given .point, then awaited the moment to fire. ' Every batteryman was at his post Elx lanyards were held by six powder besmearod men who knew that but a moment more they would send a bolt of death and destruction into the ranks of a brave but unsuspecting , foe. Steady, men; hold, fojp the word," said Cox, as he sat in hit saddle watehfpg- for the supreme moment On they came! What a splendid line! Their guns glistened in the descending western' sun. Oh, how" beautiful sight this moment, and oh, how hor rible the nextt "Ready, fire," rang out clear and distinct above the din of battle to the right of us. The smoke rose, and there- kfc. one long winrow of death lay half of that splen did line, while the others were seek ing safety in flight. "We,t knocked the bull's-eye," said Cox. "A cheer and a tiger," said his infantry sup port, and then rang out a prolonged hurrah for the Tenth Indiana Volun teer battery. T'cf. Tbo Wilderness. ' ':. Replying to Joseph II. 1 Carter's Wilderness article recently published as to Rice's Brigade, of the Fifth Corps, being under Hancock at the Plank road on the 6th of May, I will stale that late in the aftarnoon of May 5, Gen. Hancock was having a severe engagement, and . called for help. Gen. ; . Wadaworth,,- with his Division and part of Robinson's Divi sion, was ordered to report to Gen. Hancock. Gen. Wadsworth was direc ted to move his command so that he would strike the Confederate left flank. at that time stretched across the Flank road and facing Hancock's Corps. Gen. Wadsworth reached a point near the Confederate flank, where, owing to the density of the Wilderness and darkness, he was ob liged to halt for the night. Capt. Meredith, of Gen. Wads- worth's staff, was sent back to Gen. Warren to report the situation and bring up ammunition. The Captain returned at 3 o'clock a. m., with or ders to push forward at earliest dawn and report to Hancock. - The Confed erate commander finding a body of troops approaching his flank, -with drew during the night .to. relieve his flank from Wads worth's' morning at tach:. ' , Gen. Wadsworth' 8 command moved forward and formed the right flank of the Second Corps, then wheeled to the right with the left on the Plank road, and moved forward in line with Gen. Hancock, Gen. Wadsworth called for more troops to extend his line to the right, learning the enemy had extended past his flank, and it was then that a brigade of the Ninth Corps came and reported to Gen Wadsworth. Gon. Hancock sent word to Gen Wadsworth to look out for his left on the Flank road, as the Second Corps' left was yielding to a Confederate charge. Gen. Wadsworth seeing the Confederate lines on his left across NO the Plaak road, paaclcs by 1.1 J Zz.", undertook to wheel some nZ2.ti t the left and fire Into tha Cor..': flank, but unfortunatsly Crt-x t i flank of his own wheeling t;!: " j into an Alabama brigade lying oa C ) ground, and received himself what Li expected to give.

Their origin ia unknown. They re semble in appearance the gypsies, but in complexion thoy are red. Thjy have accumulated considerable prop erty and are industrious and peace able. They live in small settlements at the foot of the mountains and asso ciate with none but their own race. iriey are a proud and nign-sptntea people.- Caste is very strong among them. They enjoy life, visit tbo watering-places and mountain reaorta, but eat . by themselves and keep by themselves. When the war broke out several of them enlisted in the Hampton legion, and when the legion reached Virginia there was a great outcry among tha Virginians and the troops from other states because we had enlisted ne groes. They did not resemble-the African in the least, except in cases where Africans had amalgamated with Indians. This intermixture, which is common in the Cerolioas, produces marvelous results. - It take the kink out of the hair of an African, straightens his features and improves him in every way except in temper Confed.
