radicals hope that Mr.. Davis Will die
in prison, as he is quite likely to do

is all ready, together with vast mass
of what they call evidence, and which
they say is ample to convict and hang
him.
We were Of those during the days
of the Confederacy who did not think
Mr.. Davis inf;hALh.. We believed he
erred in Judgment at the first battle
of Manassas, when he recalled the
troops from pursuit, and we believed
he erred IN removing General j. f.
Johnston and appointing General
Hood before Atlanta We believed
that he was Il man too strong in his
prejudiccs, whether for friend or
against imagined opponents; yet for a
moment we never doubted his I'M

chosen leader.
The spectacle now presented to the
world rs the cruel incarceration of
this man cruel, we mean, in its I'M

been reported that President johnson
sent special message to Fortress
Monroe, asking an immediate report
to be made upon the present condi-

little rascals practiced their songs
nightly, to the annoyance of every
one When little girl, Elite, about
five years old, was being put to bed,

must always be a good girl, and then,
at night, when you are asleep, the
angels will come and sing and watch
round your bed" "Oh, yes, ma, y

From the Mac-a-Cheek Press.
Jones has been among the spirit
ualists; he joined circle the other
night, and had manifestations. The
medium was tall, thin, angular, cad
averous individual, who looked as if,
after getting up the frame, nature had
been seized with a fit Of economy,
and neglected to put In the underpin
ming and plastering The circle was
mixed, being made up of elderly fe-
males, thin men, with a few pretty
girls. Jones seated himself between
two of the last, and all elasped hands
around table. Jones says twas de-
lightful. He squeezed the little hands,
and when an unusually loud knock
startled the circle, the little hands
squeezed Jones. Sni ffkins, who is so
skeptical that his father don't believe
him, was the first to ask questions.
Where was | born?' asked Sniff.
s In the poor house. Shifts turn

How many children have we in
the family? ~ |
Nine.
Here dispute arose as to whether
the spirit raped eight or nine. So
Sniff asked again:

Jones.

Johns relict looked at the medium.
The medium smiled. He looked as il
he had the toothache. The circle
laughed, whereupon Johns relict
seized the lamp and hurled it at the
medium. 1t broke over his devoted
head and left the circle in darkness.
Jones says a spirit kissed him. He
tried to seize the spirit and caught one
of the pretty girls about the waist,
whereupon there were screams. In
the meantime Jones was aware Of a
furious engagement on his right. A
light was produced, when it was found
that Johns relict had seized veneer
