THAT SMALL MoUND.-Jefferson Davis
wrote, in 1850, that If war should break out
a "small mound on the borders Of his State
would show where he and some Of his neigh.
bors met the enemy" Instead Of fulfilling
his pledge, when he met the enemy Davis
attempted to fee. Instead Of getting into a
small mound he got into dressing gown, a
shawl, a petticoat, and whatever disguise
could be snatched up from the mixed apparel
in his tent, and even now, instead Of getting
into small mound, he orders q large over
coat from Washington to keep him warm
during the coming winter.
The ex-slaveholders in some of the South.
ern States ask that the Freedmens Bureau

Bureau receive the testimony Of colored men,
and this accounts for some spoonsful Of the
milk in that cocoa-nut.
