"rng rSrRorecrGD FENALr"-J. Davis,
Esq
Undoubtedly Jc1 Davis feels like ex-
claiming with MiIt N. IN Lycidias-
"A,as what boots !"
When oyerhaulcl ia his female regalia,
" President Davis was seeking " the last
ditch"
We have moi seen Democratic paper
that makoe merry over the capture Of jeff,
Davis. Probably tlis is out Of respect for
the sex. 10 .. .
Jrfl. Davis has been called the American
Catiliue. In view Of the closing scene OF
his career, he should he styled the Amer
can Sairoy Camp.
Mrs Davis remarked to tho cnptors Of
her husband that they had better NOT pro.
yoke him or he might hurt some of them.
Did shc speak from experience
1t is suggested that as tho heels of Pres
idcnt' JelT Davis kicked up the borrowed
toggery Of Madame Davis, in his sublime
flight, he showed a great calf"
When she hears that jeff. Davis, the in
vincibla rebel chief. was caught running
away in'h his wires clio hes, what will Mrs.
Grundy s,y? Won't she resent this insult
to- the sex.
A spirited young daughter of ono Of our
subscribers states that IL ii shall really
prove true that jeff. Davis was taken in
crinolne, she will never wear it again. We
admire her spirit.
When jeff. Davis denounced the conluct
of the government in hunting down women
! aud children, in which category did he
place himself? The dress in which he was
captured proclaimed the woman, but his
complaint was childish.
The rebels in Georgia didu't hide or help
the rebel President in his attempted es.
cape as much as the Maryltud socesh
helped Booth. The "Christain President,
as George Sanders calls him, was LETT tn
"shift" for himself and caught with the
garment on.
1t woull seem that ii was JefTs boots
aud not his beard which revealed to his
| pursuers that he was nOt what he seemed.
| lie should have attired himself in the long
street tralcrs, so fashionable in the North,
and we defy all the cavalry in the country
to have ever suspected that he did not be
long to the tondcr sex.
In one Of his terrible meuaces, Jefferso1
Davis declared that when all tho mon u
the South were put to death in battle, the
women would seize their weapons and bca
back the Northern Vaulals. When cap
tured, the "Presilent" evidently though
that the time had come when tho women
must maintain Southern chivalry. liz
would himself lead them in pctt;conts.
II is suggested that 6rSt,cllss artist bt
sent immediately TO Washington TO procur,
from the Government the privilege OF SO
curing pattern of tho dress worn by Jen
Davis ut the time of his capture, II is pro
posed to manufacture up singul rgarment
in large numbers for scccsh wo "en in tn
South and Coppcrhcad females in the NORTH
We have no doubt they would fluid an in
: mcnse sale in both sections.
A CRuRr. WIsn.-The Now York T,fbRR
says; A lady correspondent begs ns to sug
gcst that Mr.. Davis should be compelle
to wear tho usual costume OF women durin
the period of his imprisonment No wOnal
she declares, coul wishhim soverer pun
ishmcnt. She adds that If he were con
pellod to run in that drcss one hour ever
day, MS fast as when he was captured,
would probably he the death of him.
! Mr.. DlvIs.-This noted person recentl
aud ransiently appeared on tho stage {
. the Southern Confcderacy in new cha
aoter, as leader Of female fashions. w
S expect to sec il in the fashion plates, mel
month, with boots and spurs.
The dispatches do not inform us whothC
: he patronizes hoops.
, The Copperheads give il mp that th'
= was the last shift Of the Cunfederacy.
