JEFF. DAVIS ON BAIL.
English Review of His Character
as a Statesman and Ruler,

From the Londen Post reform and Opposition
0rgan) May Is.
At length, after having remained a
State prisoner for two years, Mr. Jeffer.
son Davis, at one time the President OF
the Confederate States Of America, has
been released on bail. The term of his
imprisonment has been long, and, regard
being had to the strict letter of the Con-
stitution, has been illegal; but few will
be inclined to question too closely the
action of government which held the
life of their illustrious prisoner in their
hands, and nevertheless spared it. : .
Mr.. Davis, however unsuccessful the
attempt which he organized to establish
the Independence of the Southern States,
will in future times take the highest
rank among American statesmen, The
ability which he manifested in hus-
banding the resources of the infant Re-
public, at whose head he was placed,
while at the same time he utilized them
to an extent that seemed incredible,
must establish his claim to be considered
one of the most skilful administrators of
modern times. He had the rare good
fortune to be served in the field by men
who, though for the most part devoid Of
military education, proved themselves to
be consummate generals; but, indC
pendently Of this, be was endowed with
too much sagacity TO interfere with their
plans, even when they did not meet with
his concurrencs, and did net commit
the blunder into which Mr.. Lincoln so
frequently fell, of confounding failure
with incompetency There was no
Aulic Council at Richmond. The Pres.
ident and the people believed in their
generals, and the latter had confidence
in themselves and the armies which
they commanded. la his dealings with
the Federal Government Mr.. Davis was
always dignifed; and, Notwithstanding
the many provocations offered by the
conduct Of several Of the Northern gem
erals, he never countenanced or tolerated
any departure from the strict rules of
civilized warfare. Towards the Euro
pean States, whose Intervention be not
unnaturally sought the Confederate
President invariably maintained an at
titude Of Independence and self-reli-
ance, even through his representatives,
pressing on them the expedieucy Of in
terposing in behalf OF his fellow citizens.
In a word, during the entire period in
which he guided the destinies Of the
Confederacy he did not commit a single
act Of which he had reason 10 be ashamed,
or which bis opponents could justly
make the subject matter OF reprcach.
Long confinement, it is said, has told
upon his health; but that is, to man
like him, q matter Of minor consequence.

Tho Goddess Of Poverty.

Paths sanded with gold, verdant
heaths, ravens loved by the wild goats,
great mountains crowned with stars,
wandering torrents, impenetrable forests
let the Goddess pass through-the God
dess of Poverty Since the world ex-
listed, since men have been, she travels
the world, she dwells among men; she
travels singing, and she sings working
the Goddess of Poverty Some men
assembled to curse her. They found
her too beautiful, too gay, too nimblo,
and too strong Pluck out her wings,
said they. "Chain her bruise her with
blows, that she may suffer, that she may
perish r'-the Goddess of Poverty They
have chained the good Goddess; they
have beaten and prosecuted her but
they cannot disgrace her. She has
taken refuge in the seul ef martyrs, in
the soul of saints-the good Goddess,
the Goddess of Poverty She has
walked more than the Wandering Jew;
she has travelled more than the swAl-
low; she is older than the Cathedral Of
Prague; she is younger than the egg Of
wren; she. has multiplied more
upon the earth than strawberries in Bo-
hemian forests-the Goddess, the good
Goddess of Poverty She always makes
the grandest and most beautiful things
that we see upon the earth; it is she
who has cultivated the fields, and pruned
the trees; il is she who tends the fields,
singing the most beautiful airs; it is she
who sees the first peep Of dawn, and re-
ceives the last smile of eveniug-the
good Goddess of Poverty 1t is she
who carries the sabre and the gun; who
lakes war and conquests; it is she who
collects the dead, tends the wounded,
and hides the conquered-the Goddess,
the good Goddess of Poverty Thy
children will cease, one day. to carry
the world upon thy shoulders; they will
be recompensed for their labor and toll
lac time approaches when there will be
neither rich nor poor; when all men
shall consume the fruit ofthe earth, and
equally ENJOY the gifts of God. But
thou wilt not be forgotten in their
hymns-oh, good Goddess of Poverty

THE RUNAWAY MATCH.

A great many years since, when bright
eyed and fair haired lassies we're not so
plenty in New England as they are now,
there dwelt in the town of P, pretty
village, distant some twenty miles from
the market town, a peculiar ugly and
| cross grained, bat wealthy farmer
Mamie was Danforth's only child, and
report said truly that she would be his
sole delegate The old man was a sturdy
farmer, and was estimated to be worth
full ten thousand dollars, at that period
a very handsome fortune to be sure.
The sparkling eyes and winning manners
of Mamie Danforth had stirred up the
finer feelings of the whole male portion
of the village, and her suitors were nu-
nerous, but her father was peculiar, and
rome succeeded in winning headway
with him or her.
In the meantime Mamie had true
aud loyal lover in secret Who would
have supposed for one moment that such
fellow dare look on beauty and COM
parative refinement His name was
Walker, and he was simply farmer
employed by old Danforth, who had en-
trusted Joe with the management of his
place two or three years.
But very excellent farmer and
right good manager was this Joe Walker.
He was young too-only twenty three
and he actually fell in love with this
beautiful, pleasant, joyous Mamie Dan.
forth, his employers daughter. But the
strangest part Of the occurrence was
that Mamie returned his love earnestly,
truly, frankly, and promised to wed him
at favorable time.
Things went on merry for time, but
old Danforth discovered certain glances
and attentions between them which ex.
cited his envy and suspicious. Very
soon afterwards Joe learned the old
man mind in regard to his future dispo-
sal Of Mannie's hand. He quickly saw
his case hopeless one unless be resorted
to stratagem; so he set his wits at once
TO work. By agreement, an apparently
settled dislike and coldness was observed
By the lovers for each other for five or six
months, and the father saw, as he be-
lieved, with satisfaction that his previous
fears had been premature. Then, BY
the agreement also between them, Joe
absenied himself from home at evening
aud night after night, for full three
months longer, did Joe disappear as soon
as his work was finished, TO return home
at late bedtime. This was unnsnal,
and old Dsnforth determined to know the
cause Of it
Joe frankly confessed that he was in
love with a mans daughter, Who resided
less than three miles distant, but, after
faithful attachment between them for
several months, the old man had utterly
refused his application for the young
giifs hand
This satisfied him that he had made a

The "Black Crook" and "Flying scud"


The "Black Crook" and "Plying seud."
Niblo's and Wallacks have been for
several years the acknowledged fashion
able theaters Of New York. They are
now the resort-not exclusively, but to
great extent-of sports, gamblers,
roughs, fast women and the miscellane-
Gus crowd that constitutes the street life
of great cities When Niblo' was ha nded
over TO the model artist business, respect
able people comforted themselves with
the supposition that WallacRs would
continue decent But the sensation
drama was marching along, and the
legitimate, even at so eminently re-
| spectacle a place as Wallack's, must get
out Of the way. Wheatly waxed rich by
exhibiting voluptuous women in the
Black Crook" Other managers were
tempted to emulate him, but failed by
burdening their ballet girls with more
drapery than tie public considered ne
cessary. Wallack was doing pretty we'll
with standard plays, but Wheatleys sue
cess made him envious. he was too
enterprising to step into track laid out
by another, so he determined to get up a
sensation of his own, Boureicault sent
over his Flying Scud." This was just
the thing There was real horse in it,
and what was more to the purpose, q
scene in which dozen jockeys capered
through an ingeniously arranged dance.
1t was very easy to get dozen well pro.
portioned girls, dress them in short jack
cts, jockey caps and skin tight breeches,
and exhibit them in the jockey dance,
They did not look quite so bare as the
"Black Crook girls, but they showed
off quite as well. II soon got noised
about that Wallack's dancing girls we're
as attractive as Wheatley's, and the
pretty theater so long sacred to Fifth
avenuedom became the resort of sporting
men and fast women. Fifth avenue
dropped off, but the Bowery sent crowd
to replace il. AS drama, Flying
Scud is far ahead otthe Black Crook, !"
but if the jockey dance were taken out
of it, its attractiveness would soon de-
cline. 1t is having a splendid run, but
not on its dramatic merit The spec.
tacular and sensational scenes draw the
crowds, and when the jockey dance and
the Derby are over, nobody cares to see
the rest of it.
So, with the "Black Crook" Just en-.
tered on new run at Niblo's and " Fly
ing Scud nightly drawing large crowds
to WaIlack' s-the general character of
both plays being bar to the attendance
of respectable ladies-there is not one
theater in New York in which the legiti-
mate drama can get foothold. The
Olympic, the New York, the Broadway
and Lingard's, are all running the SEN
sational. Leo Hudson is initiating the
illustrious Menken at Barnums; thHn-
der and lightning are crashing and fash
ing at the Old Bowery, and New York
must either blush at indecency, listen
With resignation to jockey talk and dime
novel sentiment, have its ears shocked
by rant and ribaldry, or stay away from
the theaters This is the state of things
as the dramatic season draws to close,
and it is certainly neither creditable nor
satisfactory. Ia.
