SELLING JEFFERSON DAVIS PINcuBECK
JEwELry.-A few days ago the Hon.
Jefferson Davis entered store in this
city, ard asked the keeper, quiet little
man, if be could match an ear-drop, which
he produced. The shopekeeper told him,
in his usu1l polite manner, that he had
no odd pieces, but-lha, he bad some
cheap sets Of the same style, and took
on, a very bright set, which he offered
for the sum of one dollar, and explained
that it was a cheap imitation, which
would sell, but that really he would not
recommend it as of any permanent nse.
Mr.. Davis seemed surprised and told him
he was no judge ofjewelry, and would
not have been surprised if the price had
been ffty dollars, and left the cheap
store, as it happened to be without 2ur
chasing: The Shopkeeper turned to q
bystander and inquired, "Who is that
old gcn,ieman?" THAT, sir, is JEFF
Davis" Mr.. Shopkeeper was amazed,
and the breath was clean out Of him for
a moment. And that was Jefferson
Davis! You're not fooling me-ro?
He's a man always revcrcnccd and
wanted to see; aud to think that ~as

almost wrong side out. "Well, | must
apologize to him for offering the d-n
stuff" And out he went, and soon was
bowing and blushing and apologizing to
Mr.. Davis on the street. When he re-
turned2he was smiling from ear to ear,
aud greater admirer of Mr.. DAVIS than
ever.-Memphis Ledger.
