The Trial Of NLr. Davis.

We have two rumors from Wash,
ington, both going to produce the
impression that the trial of Jefferson
Davis is at last definitely decided on
and that it will probably take place
not later than June. The first of these
reports is that Judge Underwood, OF
the U. S. District Court for Virginia,
has issued an order directing the Mar
shall to bring Mr.. Davis into court
next Monday. The other is that Chief
Justice Chase, who is known to have
a great obstacle in the way of bring
ing on trial, is about to exchange
circuits with Judge Field and go to
the Pacific coast, leaving the latter to
hold the Circuit Court at Richmond
in June, at which time, it is intimated,
Mr.. Davis case will be brought before
him.
There may be something in all this
but the singular and unjustifable de-
lays which have heretofore occurred
are quite sufficient to make people
doubt it. 1t is a Significant circum-
stance, also, that these reports are cir
culated just at time when public SEN
timent in all parts of the country SO
strongly demands the prisoners re-
lease on bale that it seems difficult to
refuse compliance. They are proba-
bly, circulated with view of diverting
attention from this point by holding
out a delusive prospect of trial

LAaIENTABLE OccURRENcE--A YouNG
LADY ACcIDENTLY KILLED BY YoING
MAN.-An unfortunate accident DC.
CURED in st. Louis last Sunday result
ing in the death of an interesting and
lovely young lady living in the
vicinity:
A party of young people had as
sembled at the house, and were enjoy
ing themselves in the usual manner.
The day was pleasant, and portion
of the company were playing about
the grounds. Among them were Miss
Lizetta Brinkman, young lady of
about twenty years, and Mr.. August
Blanke, a young man of twenty-five.
In the sport Miss Brinkman threw a
missile of some kind at Mr.. Blanke,
who had adouble- barrelled shot gun in
his hand, not dreaming that It was
loaded. When she threw at him
Blanke playfully pointed the gun at
her, saying, "T'll shoot you," and to
his utter astoDishment the gun went
off, and the whole charge was lodged
in the face of Miss Brinlman. With
a cry of pain she fell to the ground.
Blanke, on recovering from his be-
wilderment at the untoward accident,
took up the helpless form of the young
lady, and, carrying her into the house,
ran out in search of doctor, but in
the confusion of his senses be was un-
able to find one. Every means were
used by the rest of the persons present
to relieve the suffering girl, but in
vain; in a few moments she was out
of pain, and breathed her last.

Mrs Hole-in-t the Day is a young
lady of modest and intelligent appear

Crow Wing, to his harem of half a

would not be very pleasant for the

Heis abundantly able to do this, as
he is man of great wealth-having a

Mr.. PEABoDY's PoRTRAIT OF THE
QUEEN.--There was given yesterday,
at the house of gentleman in this
city, private view of the portrait of
Queen Victoria, which Mr.. Peabody
received in Washington few days
ago. Whatever may be thought con
corning the congruity Of presenting
an expensive portrait---it is said to
have cost $75, 000---to a benefactor of
the poor, the picture itself is interest
ing and curious, both as work of art
and as showing to what high pitch
miniature painting can be carried. 1t
is hardly appropriate to speak Of it as
"miniature,'' nor does that word give
correct impression as regards the
size of the likeness, for though only
half-length, the painting is fourteen
inches long by nearly ten inches wide.
At the taking Of the likeness, for the
first time for the presentation Of her
portrait to private individual, the
Queen sat in the only robes of state
she has worn since the death of the
Prince Consort---the costume in which
she opened Parliament. 1t is black
silk dress, trimmed with ermine, and
a long black velvet train similarly
adorned. Over her Mary Stuart cap
is the demi- GRO wn, while the Koh moor
and one rich jewelled cross, presented
by Prince Albert, form her only orna-
ments. To complete the portrait, she
gave the artist many and long sittings.
1t is said that in fidelity ofportraiture
the likeness is not to be surpassed,
and the Queen has expressed herun-
qualified approval of it.
The portrait is done in enamel, on
a panel Of pure gold. Enamel paint
ings, to bring out all the brilliancy Of
their colors, have to be burnt in fur
mace at least five, and generally six
times. The heat to which they are
subjected is so intense as to be only
short of that which would fuse gold.
The most exquisite care is necessary
neither toilet the picture heat too soon,
nor, above all, cool too rapidly, as in
either case the enamel would crack
So large an enamel portrait was new
er before attempted in England. 1t
was, therefore, found necessary to
build small heating furnace especial
ly for the execution of this work. The
burning was successfully performed, |
and the result is the most exquisite
enamel painting ever seen.
The picture is mounted in a most |
elaborate and massive chased frame of |
pure gold, surmounted with the royal
crown enameled on the same metal
N colors.--N. Y. World.

DISTRESSING AssAssINATIoN-A MAN
SHOT DOWN IN HIS FAMILY CIReLE.-A
worthy farmer named Smith Wilson,
who resides within two miles of For.
rest Hill, toward Germantown, has fol
some time missed corn and other
things that were stolen from his place.
He told some of his neighbors, and
by their advice he set himself to work
to detect the plunderers. He got
some trace of the guilty parties and
was after them. On Wednesday eve-
ming about dusk he was sitting on a
lounge in his house. with his wife and
family about him, when some I'M
known assassin, who is supposed to
have been one of the depredators,
came to front window, and placing a
pistol close to the pane, fired, and the
ball striking Mr.. Wilson just under
the right arm, passed through him
downward. He staggered toward his
bedroom, but fell in the arms of his
wife, and expired in a few minutes.
An inquest was held on his body yes
terday, and verdict rendered of will
full and malicious murder by some per-
son unknown. The neighbors have
taken the matter in hand, and are de-
termined that such high-handed out
rage shall not escape UNPUBLISHED.
They have some suspicion of certain
parties, and will seek to bring the
guilty to legal punishment. Mr.. viii
son was a very quiet and worthy man,
and has never before had any difficult
ty with any person. 1t was rumored
last night that some suspected person
had been caught in this city, but no
are known.-Memphis Av-

The Late General DanI<hend,

The following letter is another strong
argument in favor of life insurance, particu-
larry in staunch and responsible companies.
One of this class is the St. Louis Mutual, the
Memphis agency OF which is at No. AZ De-
Soto street. In times like these when COM
mercial affairs are so complicated and I'M
healthy the advantages of investments in
life insurance policies for the benefit of de-
pendants must be apparent to every man.
All OF our readers are familiar with the
cause of the recent sad and terrible death of
our fellow citizen General Bankhead and
the wide spread sympathy manifested for his
bereaved family. 1t will crafty their
numerous friends to know that in addition
to other sources the bereaved ones are liber-
which losses are met by the company in
which General Bankhead had the prudence
to insure his life is proverbial and has re-
peatedly been noticed in these columns.
But here is the letter. 1t speaks for itself:
MEMPHIS, April "a, 1867.

tuat Lite Insurance Company:
GENTLEMEN-I have to thank you on be-
half of Mrs. Bankhead and her daughters for

courtesy in preparing the necessary vouch-
ers and giving all required information for
the immediate realization of the insurance
