Prentice on Jen. Davis.

stated that, when JEFF, Davis II prisoner, took
newspaper and read President Johnlons otier
VI a hundred thousand dollars for hls arrest he
groaned aloud Now who can doubt at that mo-
mont all the millions Of groans that he had eased
others to utter back TO him like ghosty edloes
pf tho doleful sounds from his ngonized bosom?
. According 10 the last accounts JEFF. Davis when
no was captured, was personating his wiies mother
on the way 10 spring bucket on arm, TO get water
II we had been In Jeiis place, we would, when de-
.cted, have sci down the bucket and kicked IT,
JEFF. Davis, when surprised, couldn't be expected
10 run very fast. Not only had he petticoas over
his legs but there was a big price, hundred tpou-
sand dollars upon his head, .
JEFF Davis said II year ago, that the Yankee dogs
w,uld soon go bowling back to their kennels. Lit
- bought he then that be would 60 with them,
bowling loudest of all
When JEFF. Davis began the rebellion he said he
wohld give the Yankees cold steel 1t is now sug-
q ted that MS his wle's hoops were made of steel,
redeemed the pledge in Georgia
Napoleon, on account of the devotion oi his peo-
d % him, was q terror TO his enemies even Ing ex-
10. No such cause exists TO make JEFF. Davissfor-
midable
We don't believe that Jet Davis can bring any
evidence that he is gutless of the Washington muir
'ar but, since he turned woman, there's no know
ing what he may bring forth.
Il takes several weeks for tadpole to lose his
al and turn to u frog jeff. Davis transition
period when he dropped his breeches and turned wo-
man was very short.
A disloyal paper says few words tor JET. Davis
for the alleged reason that he himself has not bow
the liberty Of speech Thus, when Baalam was UNI
able to speak, his ass spake for him. ..
jeff Davis would be most audacous man if he
could say to the Federal Government
That mercy to others show, 4 ..
That mercy show to me.
jeff. Davis, when he was a man, was much an
5yed by the blacks but, since he turned woman, he
! been troubled with the tahitss. iUtAIp
Jeff Davis is said to be rather i'll. Having turned
oman, JEFF. probable expects to be a little unwe
,yry month. .It- .-.f
We respectfully submit to the rebels themseves--
ne male rebels--whether they consider JEFF. Davis
u4aer petticoats "a blessing in Disguise
As JEFF. Davis has turned woman, it would prob
ably be wrong TO tax him with any hard work, but
Wa may find him in labor one Of these days
We couldnt have believed that jeff Davis Would
I've put on petticoat to save his life Alas for
the chivalry ''- ~"
II is said that jeff Davis assumed the petticoat in
compliment TO the women who have shown such an
absorbing interest in the success Of the rebellion
We don't know that jeff Davis ever confronted
,rhtling steel, but when caught he was grt round
about with circling steel t.'- b.
u is said that jeff Davis, If he can get to Europe
Or Canada, means to set up millinery and mantua-
making establishment 80.
We suppose that jeff. Davis may bo considered
about half man and half woman. II seems tc us
lAat the bloomer coustme would best be6t him
JEFF. Davis correspondent with Booth in oypher,
nd now is himself cypher
JET. Davis is journeying to Washington He is
in travail very soon after turning woman
It ia probable that the assassins of the President
will not, like the boys enjoy their scing
