J.eff Davis, iu bis book entitled
"The Rise and Fall of the Confed
erate Government," undertakes to
give the causes that precipitated the
war. He says it was not the passage
of the "personal liberty law," it was
not the circulation of incendiary
documents, it was not the raid of
John Brown, it was not the opera
tion of unjust and' unequal tariff
lawB, nor all combined that consti
tuted the intolerable grievance, but
it was the systematic and persistent
struggle to deprive the southern
states of equality in the Union
generaully to discriminate in legis
lation against the interests of their
people, culminating in their exclu
sion from the territories, the com
mon property of the states, as well
as by the infraction of their com
pact to promote domestic tranquili
ty. It looks kiud of reasonable
when we take into the account that
slaves had no souls, and were made
chattels by the laws that it was a
little strange that their owners
could not remove with them to the
territories and there hold them in
bondage, the same as they could iu
a Southern State where the law es
tablished that relation. The United
States in the territories having ex
clusive jurisdiction never attompted
to legislate the institution into and
for it upon the citizens of the terri
tories, but the Dred Scott decision
was made use of to smuggle it in
and deprive men of their rights. A
bad reason tor Jeff's treason to the
government may be considered bet
ter than no reason at all, but his
book will never heal the sore, re
place the treasury or bring back to
life the beloved dead.
George W. Hart, who has been
acting as policeman at Grand Island
for two years, and who shot a man
whilen custody about a year ago,
inflicting a wound from which he
subsequently died, walked into the
Corner Saloon the other day to take
a drink. Upon turning around he
spied an old man named Michael
Cress Bitting iu a chair watching a
game of billiards, and saying to the
man with whom he had just taken a
drink that "there was a man he was
going to fix," and at once drew his
revolver and fired into his face, the
ball taking effect above the center of
the nose and passing down through
the roof of his mouth and tongue
and into bis neck. The man fell
over and iu quick succession Hart
fired two other shots, one of which
entered his shoulder passiug down
ward and across the back to the
opposite side where it lodged. The
third shot missed Cress and passed
through the door. Not a word pass
ed between the men before or after
the shooting. Cress is a man fifty
four or five years old, and has al
ways been known as a quiet, inoffen
sive man, who would-not molest or
quarrel with any one, and he says
that he never at any time had any
words with Hart. So far as appears
on the face of the transaction on the
part of Hart it was one of the most
brutal and unprovoked assaults ever
witnessed. It is quite probable that
Cress will die from bis wounds.
Hart was promptly arrested and
confined in jail.
Germany, Austria, Belgium,-Den-mark,
Spain, United States, France,
Greece, Italy, Holland, Portugal,
Russia, Sweeden and Switzerland
are all represented in the monetary
conferance at Paris. The English
and Italian delegates had not arrived
on the 19th, but were expected to
appear soon and take their seats. On
motion of Mr. Evarts, Magnin, the
French minister of finances, was
elected president of the conference.
After taking his seat the president
spoke at length upon the subject,
chiefly in explanation of the systems
established in 18G7, of a gold stand
ard with silver as a transitory com
panion had brought about in Ger
many. As regarded the objects of
the present conference, it was indis
pensably in order that silver shall
regain the former value; it should
again be freely coined side by side
with gold. He said he hoped that
the deliberations would show that
international bimetallion was the
only system of restoring monetary
regularity in all parts of the world.
It was not a question of discussing a
treaty by which some would gain
and some would lose; it was a sim
ple question of forming, in good
faith and with a knowledge f the
subject, decisions equally favorable
to all parties. He said all systems
can be put forward and freely dis
cussed. The conference then pro
ceeded to formal organization.
Miss Louise Montague was the
winner of Forepaugh's $10,000 prize
for beauty. She has a handsome
face, blue eyes and beautiful light
complexion with classic features,
charming teeth, and a mass of wavy,
dark chestnut hair and a Grecian
forehead. Weight 147 poands, with
a symmetrical figure. She was born
in the Ninth Ward, New York City,
and is 21 years old. Of course all
who attend Forepaugh's show are
interested to know something of
what they may expect to see in this
$10,000 professional "beauty."
A post-mortem examination of
the body of Miss Hattie Duel, who
claimed she couldn't eat, and so
starved herself to death, after a fast
of forty-seven days, revealed the

her stomach, and not a drop of blood
in her body; her remains weighed
only forty-five pounds.

Benjamin Disraeli) Earl of
:f
cotuficld,dicclin London on-thel9th
inst. He was perlcctly conscious to
the last. He" was born in Loudon4
Dec. 21, 1805, and was of Jewish
desceut. He was a writer of great
ability, and when he entered politi
cal life and became the leader of the
conservative party he was consider
ed the most powerful orator in
England. The first story written by
him was "Vivian Gray," which won
him distinction at the age of twenty
years. Altogether he wrote some
fourteen or fifteen stories, among
which was the "Wondrous Tale of
Alroy." "A vindication of the Eng
lish Constitution," written and pub
lished in 1835, was an able article
from his stand point, and one which
made him many fast friends in
England. In his death England
has lost a recognized leader, aud
Gladstone will stand without a peer.
Queen Victoria aud other distin
guished persons expressed a desire
to visit the distinguished man during
his last moments, but were request
ed not to do so, by the attending
physicians, lest-it might disturb aud
injure the patient. When the final
moment arrived he died as a weary
man in health falls quietly and softly
to Bleep. He said among bis last
utterances, "I had rather live ; but I
am not afraid of death."

It was thought they came down

a private letter to the editor of a
Minneapolis paper, who had criti
cised his position on the temperance
question. The Ex President claims
that in our climate, and with the
excitable, nervous temperament of
the people of the United States, he
came to the conclusion that he would
exclude liquors from the White
House, believing it would bo a wise
and useful example, in which Mrs.
Hayes most cheerfully agreed. He
also became satisfied that if he ex
cluded liquors from the Executive
Mansion he could not occupy a half
way ground, and that he must ab
stain from drinking at any time. He
says for the last three years of his
term he was a'total abstinence man,
and that he will continue to be so.
A fire started the other day in a
saloon in San Marcial, a town in
New Mexico, which burned nearly

portion of the town was one con
taining several tons of powder. A
building containing several thous
and rounds of cartridges was burn
ed, the explosion causing people to
retire from the fire. The fire is be
lieved to be the work of an incen
diary. Ox the. evening of the 19th the
Missouri river at Omaha was on an
other rise, lacking only three feet of
being up to the high water mark of
the flood of a few days ago, which
according to actual measurement
