jeff. Davis.

A correspondent of the Philadel.
phia Inquirer has been visiting jeff.
Davis. He found him we'll, enjoying
the most expensive luxuries, apd
growing richer by doing nothing
than he could do by any amount of
labor. Formerly his letters were
examined, aud when Gen. Miles was
relieved from the command of the
fort, over twenty FIVE thousand dol
lars had been received in contribu-
tions from the faithful false god of
their idolatry. These evidences were
not, at the time of their receipt, hand
ed over to Mr.. rayis, but are, with
out doubt, held as his property. But
however this is, for long time past
he has received all letters and paoka-
ges without examination, and aS their
number and bulk have not diminish
ed, it is probable that he is at this
moment enjoying as good an income
as the President of the United States.
On Christmas day there arrived an
amount Of presents which nearly
broke down the resources of two ex-
press companies. 1t is curious fact
that many of these presents came
from Boston. Mr.. Davis, being only
bound by parole, is quartered in a
part of the fort so obviously insecure
that he could at any time escape.

Plain Talk from Andy JohnsOn's

The patriotic editor of the Green.
vile Ne,9 Era thus talks on colored
suffrage:
We don't know exactly what you
mean by "nigger equality" nor do
we care; as Radicals we used the ne
gro to whip and conquer armed reb.
oils, to protect and defend the nation
against its bitterest enemies, and as
Radicals and true friends Of the ma
tion still, we can use the negro again
at the ballot box, and continue to
use him against our enemies and the
enemies Of the best interest, the
peace, perpetuity and integrity Of the
Government. He wac the true, tried
and trusted friend Of the Union man
in hours Of darkest peril. We-trysted
him then infinitely more than ne reJ-

Maple Sugar.

A correspondent of tho Country
Gentleman, writing from Indiana,
gives his experience with maple su-
gar:
Use the half-inch bit for tapping,
but be sure to keep il perfectly sharp,
and no danger Of splitting the wood.
Bore from half to ive.eights deep (;
that will give quarter of an inch
1or fresheuing, without materially
damaging the tree.
j would use the elder spile in pre-.
ference to any metal spile ever tried;
and if properly cleaned every spring,
with your pans or buckets, there will
be no danger of soured sap. My
plan is to hot lime juice them, with
good rinsing.
For cleansing your syru after
straiuing through double wooden cloth
into tub, let it stand two hours in
order to settle; then draw off by a
faucit inserted 10 the side of the tub
one inch above the bottom that will
give you the clear stuff. Then place
over the fire, and on coming to a boil, g,
add a pint of new sweet milk to every
twenty gallonsSt to slack il; aud skim
we'll as long as anything comes to the
top.

The Fashions.

A Paris correspondent states that
the ladies' dresses are almost straight
in front, with very long trails. The
skirts are cut biased. The waist on
the shoulder is cut high. and trim
mings are placed not on the upper
part Of the sleeve, but just above, on
the shoulder, giving the expression of
an epaulette. Tho under sleeve is
tight, and a largo outer sleeveis com.

A Curious Incident.

A curious incident recently occur
red in French court Of criminal ju-
risprudence. A young woman, car
rying child less than year old in
her arms, was arraigned for having
stolen three gold ten-frauc pieces
from the house of lady where she
called on business. The prisoner
stated in her defence that her baby
snstched the coins from a table with
out her knowledge; that she had just
discovered them, and was preparing to
go back with the money when she
vas arrested The defence was
thought most improbable, owing to
the child's age Tut the president, in
order to test it's possibility, ordered
one of the ushers to lay three gold
pieces on the ledge Of the dock, with
in the baby's reach. The moment
the little thing saw the money it
clutched the pieces firmly and at
tempted to put them in its mouth
This experiment satisfied the tribu.
nal that the woman had told the
truth, and che was in consequence ao-
quilted Of the charge.

A Good Illustration.

A correspondent Of the Milwaukee
Sentinel says that the following colo
duy occurred between a noisy, Draw
ling Democrat politician and a quiet
observing Republican. 1t hits the
nail on the head, aud is too good tc
be lost.
Democrat-T demand TO knew, sir,
If the States lately 10 rebellion are in
the Union or out Of the Union just
answer that, il you will.
Republican-The question is illus
trated in your own personal history.
Four years ago you united with the
church here and, if am rightly in
formed, you have been rather hard
member to manage; and lately, charg
es have been preferred against you
for downright misconduct, aud you
have been suspended until your case
can be examined, aud your fitness fol
the membership determined. Now
sir, l demand to know whether you
are in the church or out Of the

Mr.. Boynton's resolutions, and
proposition to postpone tho question
for two weeks, all of which were vo

Messrs. BruG and Lockwood made
speeches in favor Of the measure, and
Messrs Beer and Hill against it,
Others spoke indirectly on both sides.
The vote was finally taken, undcr the
demand for the previous question,
aud resulted
Ieas, 80 nays, 50 being twenty
five less in its favor than the two.
thirds required by the Constitution.
All the Democrats present aud twenty
three Republicans voted in the mega

probably be reconsidered, but is not
likely TO be carried this season.

marine. l., t. ttaa.
Since the commencement Of the
late war, tho ship building interest
has suffered severely from the high
price of labor aud material. IL now
costs almost double per ton to build,
than it did five or ten years ago, and
the expense Of rigging, canvass and
other material used in the out6tting
of vessels is also increased in about
the same proportion. b
Owing to these causes, notwith
standing the handsome increase ia
the tonnage of 1866 over that of 1861,
it is doubtful if it has kept pace with
the increase of traffic East aud West.
The burdens thus imposed upon the
great interest will, however, be grad
ually lesseued. Around the shores
of our lakes may be found au abun-
dance Of the finest kind of timber
aud iron suitable for ship building
purposes.
With proper encouragement and a
wide aud deep channel to tide-wate
the building of vessels For other than
the regular lake trade, would become
business of great importance to our
people. With constantly increas-
ing demand for ship timber, aud a
rapidly diminishing supply, the stock
must eventually become exhausted.
But
"Tbs zeal Of Nature never eooi,,
Nor The ihwar,ed Of hr ends"
In our Upper Peninsula, at point
so accessible as to render the cost of
shipment little more than nominal,
are deposited mountains of the very
finest iron in the world, the quantity
being literally inoxhaustible. The
experiment of building iron vessels
has already proved so completely
successful as to justify the belief that
in due time capital and enterprise
will combine for the prosecution of
the business on large scale. 1t may
at least be regarded as only a ques.
ton oe,time when revolution in ship
building will beinaugurated, that will
give to the white winged couriers of
our vast inland seas hulls SO durable
as to defy the corroding tooth of time,
and of fashion more comely than
any whereof old Vulcan ever dreamed.

Market Value of the south.

Mr.. Thurlcw Weed is not sentimental
ist. He has an article in his paper ''Calcu-
lating the Value OF the South" to the Union,
thus:
When Horace Greedy and others urged
the North to let the South go at the COM
mencement of the war, affirming that we
could get along better without the Southern
States, they exhibited but very little appre-
clatlon OF the immense value to the whole
country Of Southern productions. During
the flrst quarter Of the present year our ex-
ports have amounted to one hundred and
forty millions OF dollars. OF this amount
ninety millions, or more than four -sevenths,
consisted Of cotton, Of which two hundred
and eighty million pounds were exported.
In addition To this, large sums have been
realized from Southern tobacco, rice, rosin
and turpentine, sent abroad. During the
last half OF 1866 cotton and tobacco alone
were exported from the Southern States to
the value OF more than $40, 600 900. Those
who row seek to delay. from political mo-
tves, Southern restoration, display equal
folly and lack Of wisdom, with those who,
SIX or seven years ago, declared that the
North would be better off without the South.
The interest of both sections demand q
prompt reconciliation and reconstruction,
and Southerners who counsel delay and
''passivity," and Northerners who talk of
''more conditions" are alike guilty of q
great error and wrong.
