Love for the Soldier.

A Copperhead exchange wants to know
why, if greenbacks were good enough TO
pay the soldier who risked his life for the
country, they are not good enough to pay
the bondholder who risked his money?
The Copperheads are great friends of the
soldiers, truly, Greenbacks good enough
for the soldier, All, indeed Did you
think greenbacks too good for the soldier
when your members of Congress refused
to vote for appropriations to pay him?
Did you think greenbacks too good for
the soldier when you deprecated their
value by making war upon the credit ofthe
country, and thus decreased his pay by SO
much as You deprecated them?
When a Republican Congress again and
again increased the soldiers pay, and issued
bonds to prevent further depreciation in
thevalue of greenbacks, did you think them
too good for the soldier?
Do you think greenbacks too good for
the soldier now and must you issue them
to such an amount as TO render worthless
the bounty which he may receive in cur
rency?
Oh, surely, you Democrats are great
friends of the soldier; but how much of
your money was invested in The bonds by
which the Government was enabled to
feed, clothe and pay the soldier Con

A Rat Show I'm Paris.

A correspondent of the London Star
writes as follows:
last Sunday, September 29), was eel
ebrated to close of the Fair at st. Cloud
The most popular of the shows Of the sea-
son undoubtedly has been rhOmn,c 0ur
rats, well known to the inhabitants of the
Quarter Mont Parnasse, where he has held
his headquarters for the last thirteen years.
" The name OF this Rarey Of the rat race
is Antoine Leonard Ii the former succeed
ed in breaking in the worst-tempered brute
ever created Leonard in three weeks GER
tainly accomplishes the difficult task of in
culcaiing habits of obedience on the biggest
rats that ever ran. His favorite scene of
action are some cross alleys in tho Four
teenth and Fifteenth ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
Z" His sole theatre is a sort of perch,
which he sticks into the ground, and then
he takes his corps de ballet out of his
pocket. At his word of command the rats
run up and down the perch, hang on three
legs, then on two, stand on their heads and
in fact 60 through aseries of gymnastic ex-
ercises that would put Blondin himself to
blush. His crack actor is gray rat he has
had in his troupe for eleven years; this old
fellow not onlv obeys Leonard, but is per-
sOnally attached to him. 1t is q most Gu
rious sight to see Leonard put him on the
ground, and then walk away. The crea-
ture runs after him, and invariably catches
him, however many turns he may take to
avoid him. An Englshman offered fifty
francs for him about two years ago, but
Leonard would not separate from his old
and attached friend"

A man named Kursin, a member of nu-

the Saviour, lately killed his own son and
offered him as sacrifice to God The
narrative in the Russian journal is as fol-

The doctrine of this sect consists in an
absolute negation of all earthly property
An adherent possesses nothing whatever.
and according TO his notions every thing
around him is evil personifcd. Such ideas
naturally prompt these unhappy men to

Gen. Wilson'S Official Report
Ofthc Capture cfJcn. Davis.

Major General Wilson's official report of
the circumstances of the capture of jeff
Davis has just been published. We cx-
tract the following, which seems to show
that, after all that has been said, jeff. Da-
Wis was really arrested in woman's appar-
el:
"During the firing of the skirmsh refer
red TO the AdjuIant of the Fourth Michi
gan, Lieutenant j. G.. Dickinson, after
having looked TO the security of tie rebel
camp and sent forward number of the
men who had struggled, was about to 60
To the front himself. when his attention was
called by one of the men ''to three persons
dressed in famale attire" who had appar-
emily just left one of the large tents near
by. and were moving towards the thick
woods. He started at once towards them
and called out HALT" but, not hearing
him, or not caring TO obey, they continued
10 move off. Just tlien they were con-
fronted by three men under the direction
of Corporal Munger, coming from the op-
posite direction. The Corporal recognized
one of the persons as Davis, advanced car
bine in hand and demanded his surrender.
! The three persons halted, and, by the ac-
lions of the two, who afterwards turned out
, to bc women, all doubt as To- tue identity of
the third person was removed. Theindvid-
uals thus arrested were found to lie Miss
/ Howell, Mrs. Davis and Jefferson Davis.
, As they walked back TO the tent from
which they had tried Ia escape. Lieutenant
Dickinson observed that Davis high top
boots were not covered by his disguise.
/ which fact probably led 10 his recognition
| by Corporal Munger.
"As the friends of Davis have strenuous
ly denied that he was disguised as wo-
man. il may be proper to specify the exact
articles OF woman's apparel which he had
upon him when first seen by Lieutenant
I Dickinson and Corporal Munger The
former states that he was one of the three
persons dressed in wOman's attire and
bas, "a black mantle wrapped about his
head. through the top Of which could be
seen locks of his hair Captain G.. w.
Lawton, Fourth Michigan Cavalry, who
published an account of the capture in the
AHdntic Monthly for September, 1866,
states explicitly. upon the testimony of the
officers present. that Davis, in addition to
! his full suit of Confederate gray, had on "a
lady's waterproof (eloak). gathered at the
waist, with shawl drawn over the head,
aud carrying a tin pail
"Colonel Pritchard says, In his official
report, that he received from Mrs. Davis,
ON board the steamer Clyde, off Fortress
I Monroe, "a waier-p proof cloak or robe.
which was worn by Davis as a disguise,
and which was identified by the men who
saw IL on him at the time of the capture.
He secured the balance Of the disguise the
next day. 1t consisted of shawl which
was identified in a similar manner by both
Mrs. Davis and the men. From these cir
cumstances, there seems to be no doubt
whatever that Davis sought to avoid cap
ture by assuming the dress of woman, or
that the ladies OF the party endeavored to
pass him off upon his captors as one o!
themselves.

age, killed his son, . little boy. If seven, in
the conviction that the act would be agree
able to the Saviour His own account of
the crime is n follows:
"One night felt SO strongly that the
human race must soon perish that could
not get . moments sleep. / rose and
lighted all the lamps before the images Of
the saints, and throwing myself on my
knees, ferventiy prayed God to save me
and my family. Suddenly the idea came
to me of saving my son from eternal dam
nation, for as this only child was beauti.
ful boy, aud finer than most boys of his
age, feared that he would become after
my death, prey of hell, and determined
10 sacrifice him to the Lord.
Filled with this idea, / continued to
pray. ! said to myself, that if, during my
prayer, the thought of sacrificing my son
to God came to me from the right side, /
would execute it; if, on the contrary, il
came from the left, would giveit up ; for.
according to our religious teachings, the
thought which comes from the right is
from our good angel, and that from the left
is the instigati0n of the devil. After long
prayer, the thought came to me from the
right side, and returned full of Joy to the
room where my son slept BY the side of nv
wife. Knowing that she would oppose the
sacrifice which desired to offer 10 God, I
sent her to the market to purchase provi-
siOrs.
When she had gone I awoke my child.
and said to him, Get up, my son, put on
thy white shirt, that may admire thee"
When he had done this laid him on the
bench, and stabbed him seven times In the
stomach
The child, in struggling, fell frequently
upon the knife and when found was covered
with wounds. The father, it seems, IN
tending to end the lads suffcrings, cut the
stomach open from top to bottom: but even
then he fingered for little while. This
frightiul scene occurred just before sunrise
Kursin says that just as the child had
brcathed his last, the first rays of the sun
shOne through the window, and in mo-
:nent Of ecstary he fell on his knees and
implOred God to mercifully receive this
sacrifice. Kursin continued his narrative
in these terms Just as / had thrown
myself before the holy images, and as nv
son was lying in his blood. the door opened
and my wife came in. She instantly saw
what had passed, and. seized with horror.
she tell senseless TO the ground. / raised
her, and said: Go to the Mavor and tell
him all. am going to give .fete to the
sainis.'"
Kursin, after he had been sent to prison,
rcsoluIely refused all kinds of nourishmcnt,
and died of starvation before the sentence
upon him could be executed.
