MRS. JEFFERSON DAVIS

The statement, made some little " hill,
since, by a Liverpool paper; that Mrs
Jefferson Davis is San ocroroon y
would seem. after all, to have been not
an uuwarranted, or rather, not an un-
natural conclusion. During the war
when Southern newspapers, smnggled
Confederate manners and rerspnages

criptions at the queen-like heanty y

and it is no wonder that the Liverpool

the manners and etiquette she had imported

an unpleasant scandal. The Confederate
President himself, although reclu>e and
naughty in his government, was democratic
enough in his personal habits; simple in hi |
social tastes, and plain and accessible to |
the populace. But Davis was the most |
exorious OF men. and it was surprising in
deed that man of his fine nervous organ

should have fallen so much under the do

coarse ard physical in her person. and in
whom the defects Of nature had been re-
paired neither by the grace of manner nor

was a brawny, able-hodied woman, who had
much more of masculine mettie than of
feminine grace her complexion tawny

coarse in har manners, full of self assertion. |

his residence, which was near by. They en-
tered the houSe IA king angrilv. aid fer a

NEAREST AND Best ROUTE To WHITE
FINE. - Persons starting from Virginia
Gold Hill, Dayton or Carson City for White
Pine, by their own conveyance. will find it
to their advantage to Lease the old Overland
road at Westgate and come BY wav of Bel
mont. From Westgate to this Ilace the
road is in splendid condition, and from
here to White Pine there is an excellent
wagon road with plenty of good feed and
water. Travellers, either on horseback or in
wagons, can make far better time by this
route than by any other. The people of
the central and lower counties bf California
will save time, and consequently money, by
coming through BY the Big Tree route and
Silver Peak, or through the low passes of
the Siarras further South and travelling up
the Ouens River valley. thence By way of
Fish Lake valley to this place and White
Pine. This latter raute Is through a sue
cea>ion Of low, fertile valleys and can be
Travelled at al! seasons of the year.-BeLnaoat

truss pattern, well framed and ironed The |
tur nel> are sixteen feet wide. About twenty |
miles Of the Summit Of the Sierras are COW
er, with snow sheds. Passenger trains can
run from fifteen to thirty miles per hour

LONDON, Jan. 20.-Paris correspondents OF the Lon
don Press say feeling of uneasness is perceptbe IN
pOlitcaland financial circles Though no one believes
that war is threatened from any quarter. still the
great activity in the arsenals and dockyards of

circumstances which contribute TO unsettle the feel
ing of security in the public mind. and to impair con-
fdence in the stability of peace.
