a TRAIToR's REMoRsr.-It seems
that jefferson Davis Is suffering greatly
from depression of spirits and the con-
slant vituperation to which he has
been subjected, the suspicion with
which he is dogged, the criticism of his
slightest word and movements, all har-
asa aud annoy him to such degree
that he recently told q gentleman that
he wished he could suddenly disappear
from the view Of men ana pass the REM
nant of his life in some seciusion where
none but his personal friends could find
him. We see no likelihood Of ccssa-
ton for at least n thousand years, to the
| vituperations Of the name of jefferson
Davis. 1t is not in his power TO stop
them or to change theiH in any way
whatever. But if he Is really in earnest
in his very natural desire for exclusion
from the world and its excavations, there
are monkeries near Montreal to which
we have no doubt he could gain admis-
sion, where no echoes from the world
will ever reach his car, sald whcrc, I'm
company with the ghostly fathers and
the worshipfui company Of devosees, he
: can spend his days apart from the tur-
~: u
madden his existence.
