JEFF DAVIS EARLY LOVE TROUBLES
Prairie du Chen, Wis, the oldest town on
Upper Mississippi, is noted for its sleepy
beauty of location, its old fort (Crawford,)
and for being the place whence JEFF Davis,
when a Lieutenant in the United States
Army, eloped with the daughter of ex-Presi.
dent Taylor, then Colonel in command of
our forces at Fort Crawford. Here was
Davis first secession exploit. He loved the
handsome daughter of Col. Taylor. That
love was returned. Col Taylor would not
consent to their marriage, SO Lieut.. Davis
seeded from Prairie du Chen and went to
another union. By means of rope ladder
the girl let herself down from the upper
window of the commandments house at the
fort in the darkness of the night they went
to the edge of the river; trusty Indian
took the lovers into his canoe, and off down
the stream they went, and were married at
St. Louis as soon as they could reach that
point. JEFF Davis relics, including portions
Of his old Lieutenant's uniform, are, with
other curiosities, now preserved in cabinet
of curiosities at La Crosse, Wis.-Appeal.

NUMBER IS.
Miasma.

The most favorable circumstances for the
production of a miasmatic epidemic-speedy,
maligant and wide spreading-are the
exposure of the muddy bottom of pond or
sluggish stream to the beaming heat of a
Summers sun. In less than a week whole
neighborhoods have been stricken with dis
ease, yet, under such circumstances, and &C.
cording to the we'll established laws of mias-
ma, FIVE families may dwell within half
mile of a drained mill pond, and yet only
one will suffer from it, while the other four
will remain exempt from unusual disease
First-If o rapid stream of considerable
width runs between the drained pond and
the house. Second-If there is interposed a
thick hedge or growth of living, luxuriant
trees or bushes. A treble row of sunaowers
is known to have answered the purpose in
repeated cases. Third-Ie the prevailing
winds from June to October are from the
house toward the pond. Fourth-If the
house be on a steep hill.
The reasons for the exemptions are here
shortly recapitulated. First-Miasma does
not cross a wide rapid stream. Second
Miasma is absorbed by thick, living luxuri.
ant foliage. Third-Miasma cannot travel
against the wind. Fourth-Miasma cannot
ascend high, steep hill. There is no mys-
terry in these variations, nor any complexity,
when the laws of masma are thoroughly un.
derstood.
1t will be particularly useful for the young
farmer, in pecuniary point of view, to
understand, further. that in one year a
house on the bank of mill pond or sluggish
stream may be visited with sickness; the
very next year that same house may be
exempt because it is a very cold Summer;
the third year it will escape because it is
very hot Summer the fourth year it will be
a very beautiful habitation because it has
been very wet Summer. Why these vari.
ations?
First-Miasma cannot form. or if it does,
cannot rise through foot or two of depth of
water, and the wet Summer kept the pond
covered. Second-The hot Summer dried
the bed of the pond to dust, and there can be
no miasma without dampness. Third--The
cold Summer did not give the degree of heat
necessary to the generation OF miasma; that
is, eighty degrees of Fahrenheit. These
principles fully explain the apparent mys-
terry of the epidemics in New Orleans.
An illustration of the laws of miasma,
during cholera Summer in Boston, under
the following circumstances The city au-
thorities inaugurated most perfect system
of cleanliness Efforts were made to procure
tie services of the most reliable men to visit
every house from cellar to garnet, and com.
pei the removal of everything which could
have even remote tendency to invite the
scourge The results were admirable; there
was not single case of cholera, except in
very restricted district; in fact, only one
family was attacked. A more special exam
ination was instituted, when there was
found, in a remote corner Of the cellar,
large pile of the accumulations of bad house
keeping for years, and this was in state of
putridity. On its removal and the plenti.
full use of the most powerful disinfectants,
the disease at once disappeared, and it did
not return.

ANNOUNCING Hrs Own HEAD OFF.-The
editor of the San Jose Mercury, who holds the
Federal Office of Quicksilver Inspector, throws
up the sponge in the following style:
We learn from reliable authority that the
fat has gone forth, and that as soon as our
successor can be named and qualified. we
shall be relieved from further care of Uncle
Samuel's interest in the quicksilver business
of this District Bro. Mccullough is slightly
of the opinion that we are not "sound" on

that was ever perpetrated upon this nation

power behind him greater than himself-the
American people-which with Gods help is
all sufficient to save and redeem this nation.

SMART WooDPEcKER.-A naturalist says:
/" Last Summer, while walking in my park,
l observed green woodpecker alight on the
ground some fifty PAGES before me, look
around to see if he was observed, then lie
down and simulate death by stretching out
himself motionless, and hanging his tongue
out as far as possible. He occasionally pull
ed in his bill. He had selected place near
an ant hill. The ants, thinking him dead,
would cover his tongue to devour him when
it was black with ants, he would swallow
them and repeat the trick, until his nav
could hold no mOre.'

shake hands and leave me friend still, for I

of one who could think her so."
Evan Meadows felt his lip tremble. He
knew the tears were gathering in his eyes.
To hide them, he arose and stood beside her.
He would not be forbidden to take her hand
to steal his arm about her waist. He
whispered in her ear
MY darling, you love me. Say that
and am happy. 1t was Lima Vance

And Lina's head sank upon his breast,
and she yielded to his embrace at last, with
sob like tired child's.
Soon she looked up.
:" You have not seen me yet," she said
" do you want to see what kind of a bargain
you have made?"

He bent over her, and put the aside the

act made him tremble. 1t would be terrible
to see the change, he knew. His ewes fell to
the ground, rested there moment, and then
sought her face. He was prepared for utter
ruin of all beauty, for SCARED cheeks, and
dim eyes, and altered features.
Instead, he saw face as smooth and fair

COMPRESSION
Washington, Jan. 26.-In the Senate to-
day, Mr.. Howe, of Wisconsin, called up his
joint resolution for the appointment of Pro-
vsional Governors in Southern States, and
made lengthy speech advocating it, He re-
piled in the course of his remarks to the re-
cent speech of MIR. Doolttle, and denied that
the latter had authority for saying his
(Howes) resolution was opposed to Lincoln
and Johnson's policy of reconstruction.
The House resumed the consideration of the
Constitutional amendment on the basis of rep
resentation.
Mr.. Harding, of Kentucky, and Wright, Of
New Jersey, during the debate on the sub
iect, spoke in favor of the admission of South
ern Representatives. They could see no ne
cessity for the Constitutional amendment, which
was designed, they said, as piece of party
trickery to secure the suffrage of negroes for
the Republicans.
The House will vote on the question next
Tuesday.
