l
Alex. McCluke has recently vis
ited and interviewed Jefferson
Davis at his beautiful home iu Mis
sissippi. The reason why. we call it
beautiful, is the fact that his dwell
ing hiauds in a. forest of greeu live
oaks, richly-ladened oraugo trees,
aud a prolusion of vines and flow
ers. His interviewer describes him
as the same positive man in all his
convictions and purposes that made
him the leader of a causeless rebel
lion. He well understands that he
cast the die for empire or for failure
that must make him au alien to his
country and the world, and that ho
lost, and he kuows he is to-day the
most powerless of all men in the
laud to retrieve the fortunes of those
who followed him to bereavement
and sacrifice. He reads aright the
inexorable judgment that makes him
execrated for the confederacy.while
his equally guilty subordinates have
been welcomed to the fatted calf.
His interviewer says Mr. Davis gave
him a cordial welcome to the prov
erbial hospitality of tho south. He
confesses that he was disappointed
iu the general appearance of the
mau who stands iu history as a
soldier and stateamau without a
country. I expected to find the
strongly marked traces of a griev
ously disappointed life and a severe
civility aud studied reticeuce in dis
cussing all things of the past; but
those who believe Mr. Davis to be
misanthropic in temperameut, aud
embittered against the nation and
world, greatly misjudge him. Nor
is he a broken invalid, as is gener
ally regarded. His step is elastic
and steady. Ho discussed many
mooted questions relative to the late
confederacy and said the reason why
Beauregard was ordered to tiro on
Major Anderson in Fort Sumpter
after his surrender, wan given solely
because faith had beon broken by
the Lincoln administration in at
tempting to ro-in force Maj. Ander
son, and that the South needed no
war to solidify its people.
IHiurnl AdvuntuiceN.
A neat, clean piece tof sarcasm is a
very enjoyable dish, now aud again.
The following we clip from tho
Beatrice Express as a little "take off"
for those towns that rely, much or
more, on their "natural advantages"
for their present and future welfare.
We may say that the paragraph is
applicable to more burgs than one:
"The Beatrice water-powercoutin-ues
to bo a great blessing (iu dis
guise), and at the present rate of
progress in establishing manufacto
ries through it aid it will not be
more than four or five hundred years
until Beatrice will be quite a manu
facturing town. It is fully up to
Caldwell in that respect now, and
we have much to hope for the future.
Crete also aspire to be a manufac
turing town, und Bridges & Johnson,
who coutrol the water-power there,
offer a free use of all surplus power
for five years to any person who
will erect a ten thousand dollar
paper or woolen mill. It is not to
be expected, however, that Crete or
any other town can ever "hold a
candle" to Beatrice in the matter of
manufacturing establishments, for
we have all the "natural advantages"
you know, and what town cau ever
amount to anything without them?
We suggest that the Citizens' Asso
ciation disband and leave the whole
matter in the hands of providence."
Albert Magee and Thos. Perry J
of Bradford, Pa on the 24th went
early in the morning to a torpedo
well north of Bradford and findiug
the nitro-glyccrine was congealed,
Magee placed the canB, containing
twenty-seven pounds, in a tub of
warm water to liquify it. No one
can tell how, but the compound ex
ploded with terrific force. Magee
was torn into pieces, and his remains
Bcaitered iu every direction. An
arm, a leg, his lungs and heart were
the largest portions of his body
found. Perry was some distance
away, but was thrown again9t a
building nearby with great violence.
His hearing was destroyed and his
body badly bruised. The derrick
and engine house were reduced to
splinters. The concussion broke
windows at a distance of one mile.
Magee was a native of Ohio.
There is still considerable specu
lation as to President elect Garfield's
cabinet. The country may set it
down that they will have nothing to
be ashamed of in its make-up. Mr.
Garfield is as well versed in public
matters as any man who has occu
pied the position, and has a wide
knowledge of the men who can till
cabinet places with ability and to
the good of the couutry. Whilo he
is among tho foremost of Republi
cans in fealty to the principles of the
party, ho Is at the same time, thor
oughly imbued with that patriotic
feeling which embraces every inter
est aud ever section of the Repub
lic, and would secure the greatest
practicable good to all. Not a vis
ionary man, the country .may look
for a sensible, wide-awake, vigorous
administration.
Hon. II. C. Van Schaack, in a
lectin c recently delivered before tho

historians. Mr. Van Schaack holds
Aaron Burr responsible for the
calumny.
Anthony Irvin, living near Wes
ton, Ohio, was away from home at

all his family except two children,
14 and 16 years old, and returned to

dren burned to death.
Gratitude will never be much of
an impediment to the ambition of
the Sherman family. Here is Te
cutnseh growling with a very sore
head at the thought of being nomi
nally outranked by tho only man
who ever trusted him with au army,
while all his other superiors thought
he was crazy, while John after using
every big gun in Ohio as a forlorn
hope to press him for a week at
Chicago, as the candidste tor the
Presidency, coolly crowds tlw whole
posse one side, to secure- for himself
the next best place he finds vacant
resorting it is claimed, to the unfair
est advantage that It is possible for
a candidate for office to take, a threat
of disrupting the party in a close
state if anybody blocks his way, and
forcing Garfield to haul off Foster
rather than to be embarrassed by his
claims to retain his place iu the
Cabinet if he is uot made Senator.

La9T weok a fearful railway acci
deut occurred on the Carolina Cen
tral railroad not far from Lincoln
ton, N. C. Tho entire passenger
train, except the engine, went thro'
the trestle work, which is fifty feet
high. Mail agent David Bloom, and
J. W. Goodson, a passenger, were
disabled by the accident and con

Dk. Henry, a dentist, and Dr.
Schooley at New Alexandria, Jef

A Mr. Buckingham being present
took Henry's part, when Schooley
drew a revolver and put a ball into
Buckingham's head, inflicting a
probably fatal wouud. Henry seized
a shoved and beat Schooley about

cannot recover. All are among the

Miss Ada Hebdeu, of Chicago, a
young lady of engaging manners aud

Willie Crawford, of Chicago, a
boy about 14 years old, presents one
of the most remarkable cases on
record, of blood sweating. The fact
is well attested and has beeu going
on at times for the past seven yearH.
His case puzzles the physicians, who

these attacks, blood flows from his
mouth, nose, eyes, stomach and even

There waB an auction sale of
negrops in Virginia recently that re
minded the old settlers of ante
bellum days, when negro propeity
was as good as cotton iu the bale.
The sale was conducted under the
vagrant act, which is, that the labor
of persons unable to take care of
themselves shall be sold to the high
est bidder. There were three of
them and they 'were knocked down
at $4.
Gormanv Bowers, the young man
who was so brutally aud without
apparent cause beaten by L. Pickard,
near Omaha, died ou the 25th, and
an inqtiCHt was held which revealed
the fact that hid skull was fractured
over the left eye, the fracture being
about two inches long, from which
pieces of bone were taken out. No
doubt this fracture was the cause of
his death.

In October last twelve members
of the family of Clarke were taken
suddenly ill, and at odd times the
children died. There were symp

was made to trace the cause. A

President Hayes is a little be

The citizens of Georgia are very

Petersburg, Va., Newport, R. I.,
and New York were visited last

Fredericksburg, Va., the storm was
very severe. Travel is impeded and
trees broken down by the weight of
snow. A storm of that severity has
not been experienced for twenty
five vears.
The recent storm at Long Branch
is washing away Great Ocean pier.
Eighty feet of it has already been
destroyed, the sea breaking thirty
feet of the large columns. The Long
Branch railroad trains are delayed
at Little Silver on account of enow.
A reporter of the Inter-Ocean
the oilier day interviewed 'Uncle

of bis experiences as a slave are
thrilling.
Sparks and Weaver had quite a
wordy tilt the other day in tho house.
Members interfered and prevented
blows. Members will learn iu due

rub the fur the wroug way on dem
ocrats. The Lincoln Globe says that Sen
ator Paddock "has no earthly chance
for election." Just how the conclu

oj the tact, aud also that Gov. Nance
"may be considered as virtually out
