The Moral of the Capture.

The capture of JEFF Davis will be re-
garded in great variety of aspects. The
ridiculous aspect will probably strike the
mass Of the people first, and while this
view of the case is uppermost, we suggest
a few moral reflections arising from it.
Don't get married Had not J. D.
been encountered with large wife and
family-we mean a wife and large family,
he could easily made his escape.
Swap even. If you take your wife's
petticoats, give her your boots. A pair
Of Mrs. DIS balmorals would not have be-
trayed her liege.
Keep your temper. IF the captors of
the president" had not controlled their
angry passions, he would "have hurt some
of EN-"
Be magnanimous. The energetic pur-
suit of the Davis family has seriously
wounded the feelings Of the "stern states
man"
Keep moving. If Wilson's Cavalry
had measured their days march by red
tape line j. D. would have given them
the slip.
Don't be a coward J. D. came to
grief, from his unwillingness to die in
the breaches.
Always wear the best A few more
springs in Mr. Davis hoop skirt might
have saved him.
Cultivate the sports of boyhood In
the race at Irwinsville, every Michigan
boy showed that he could beat hoop.
Traitors are always betrayed. J. D.
fed to the woods for protection, but they
proved to be trees unable.-Bulletin.

A Very Aos Scholar

A Baltimore correspondent of Harper's
Magazine tells the following story, show
ing how pupil became too smart for his
| precepter
A rather pDetentions-appearing person
entered store, end laying small port
folio on the counter, stated to the merch-
ant that he was giving Instructions in the
art OF detecting counterfeit money BY an
original and practical method of his own.
He had instructed several tellers in lead
ing banks, all of whom testified to the
superiority of his method "Well," said
Mr.. B, the proprietor, "what is
your peculiar method 7" Said the strang-
er, 81 show you good money and bad
money together; show and explain the
difference in the engraving; show you
the difference in the lathe-work and the
fine lines of the vignette," remarking
that he was practical engraver himself
and IN forty minutes time he coald ms

in rules that would be infalible in detect.
ing the finest executed counterfeit ever
issued
"Well, what are your TENS ?" said Mr..
b; looking intently at the man.,
as though somewhat incredulous as to the
profundity of his wisdom on the subject.
"My terms are FIVE dollars for full ms
tructicns," he replied
81 can't give it" responded B;
81 would probably forget itall in a week"
"Well, replied the instructor, with
an eye to business, ~ have spent some
time talking with you, and if you are.
anxious to learn, will charge you but
three dollars"
"Well, will go three dollars on it,"
said B, "and run the risk Of all
the good it will do me-"
So they proceeded to business at once.
The stranger opened his portfolio, pro-
duced quantity of bank notes, good and
bad the fine lines of the lathework were
duly compared, expatiated upon, and ex-
planned. He found a ready scholar in
B, who in half an hours time was
on adept in picking out the good from
the bad ones.
The lesson ended, B--exprcssed
himself well satisfied, and stepping around
to his cash-drawer fumbled over some
bills for moment, with which to pay for
his tuition, remarking to the stranger
that he had nothing less than ten, and
asking him if he could give him seven
dollars, which the stranger promptly did,
B--giving him in return we'll
executed counterfeit ten-dollar. note,
with which he had been "stuck" some
weeks previous, and which had since been
lying in his drawer.
The stranger pocketed the bogus
"ten," expressed his thanks, and left
leaving B his tuition and seven
dollars in good money.

ns%Tbe following story is told of SQUIRE

@The following story is told of Squire
W, who was in commission of the
peace a few years ago, at Chico, in Cali
fornia
Justices there have jurisdiction to try
eases of assault and battery. Two per-
sons having a quarrel in presence of the
Squire, one struck the other, and was at
once ordered under arrest. In due time
the trial came on, and the defendent was
ordered to stand up, and asked to plead
whether he was guilty or not guilty
The defendent answered, Not Guilty
This was too much for the Justice, who
fancied that his own veracity was official
ly called in question by the plea, and the
poor culprit was fined 800 on the spot
for the breach of the peace, and another
500 for contempt, the Justice remarking
that he "would learn people how to call
the Court liar.

Ruined Virginia.
