JEFFERSON DAVIS AS MARSHAL OF
FRANCE. "a Mississippi paper says it has
some reason to believe tina, Jeff Davis has
been invited by crowned head to visit
Europe and engage in certain little
Onplessantness" now going on there. IL thinks
that in snch an event thousands Of ex-COn-
tederate soldiers would follow their late chief,
and expresses the hope that Jeff may be
made Marshal of France" That is not q
bad idea. But Humphrey Marshall, of Ken
cky-lighting weight three hundred and
titty--shoud accompany Davis in order to
maintain the balance Of power wherever the
fate of war should lead them. We rather
think, however, that the ex-Confederate chief
would prefer the peaceful waters of Biarritz to
the more warlike fluid OF the Rhine.

The DIFFERENCE in sanitary point OF view
between the melting OF fresh fat and of rough
or unqualified fat is matter Of which the
general pablo probably knows nothing but
the Board Of Health is presumed to know, and,
therefore, its decision yesterday. granting per-
mts to several fresh fat meters, ought to be
conclusive proof that fresh fat melting is not
deleterious to the general health, nor especially
offensive to the public nostrils. We cannot be
sure, however. So many actions Of the Board
OF Health ''snell to heaven that we cannot
rest complacently satisfied as yet that the odor
even Of fresh fat Is fragrant az the rose.

The SHIP CARPENTERS Doc, 80 apparently
nnaccounted for III the residence OF Mr.. Ma
than--the weapon in fact with which the foul
murder was effected-has been recognized
as having been in the stable OF Natban's house
for year or more. If this statement of the
builder of the house be trne--snd he seems
to have been constant and familiar visitor to
the premises--one cloud of mystery, and that
not small one, would seem to be removed
n this story can be verified it will be another
evidence in favor Of the theory that the MUIR
derer did not come from the outside, and that.
in all probability, he did not leave the hohse ON
the night Of the murder.

Dzlp.-It becomes our painful duty in
this issue to chronicle the death of Mr..
MARTIN SHTh, who departed this life at
43o'clock P. NJ. Saturday. December II,
1870. The cause that led to his death,
We noticed in our last issue. During his
painful illness, be received all attention that
mortal man could give, in the hope that he
might recover. but alas, tono avail. Mr..
Smith wife died about a year ago, and
when she told him how she disliked to
leave him and her four little children. he
said Sarah do not grieve, l shall follow
YOU in another year" How true his pre-.
dictiou. yet how sad the fatal mistake that
ended his labors here on earth. BE leaves
behind him four helpless children, who
are thus thrown upon the cold charity Of
the world. He seemed to know from the
first, that be could not survive. His eve
~ thought was for his children. He
called his brothers to. him, aud beg
ged Of them to see that his children were
provided with good homes, which they prom
ised him. they should have.
Mr.. SMrru, was one of our best and
most useful citizens, and one who will be
missed from our community. Let us
hope that our loss, ishis eternal gain.
His children, bis aged mother, and bis
brothers aud sisters have the sympathy
Of our entire community.
May God in Heaven, watch over and
protect these four fatherless and helpless
children, and SO guide their path through
lifelttat they may grow up to be good and
useful men and women.
