The Plantations of the Davis Family.

a correspondent of the Chicago Tri-
bunc says:
I have talked with gentleman from
Warren county, Mississippi, the county of
Vicksburg and Of jeff Davis, who in
forms me that the great renegade is now
at Memphis, living in poor health, and
that not only his property, but that Of
Joe Davis, his richer brother, is. almost
entirely lost in them. Joe Davis planta-
ton is now owned by Ben. Montgomery,
formerly negro slave in the family, who
was taught to read by white people in
New Orleans, Washington, and other pla-
ces which he visited as body servant,
and who finally became the chief over
seer and accountant of his master After
the investment of Vicksburg, when the
Davises were refugees, Montgomery had
a chance to plant three full crops of cot
ton, and he made enough money to pay
the first instalment, viz: $50, 900; he
has made several payments since, and he
is now esteemed among the ablest plan
ters in Mississippi
The Davis plantation is now cut off
completely from the mainland, the Mis-
issippi having changed its course between
New Carthage and the big black river,
and created large island there. The
Davises are as near ruined as any plan
ter's family in Mississippi, every thing
having gone wrong with them, while
some Of the neighboring plantations are
in better condition than ever before
The city Of Jackson, the State capital, is
now rebuilt in better style than formerly,
and except a few caves which remain in
the bluffs, Vicsburg has completely re-
covered from the war. Free labor has
proved a great success, and all the plan
tations are now cultivated on shares, the
black laborers receiving half and being
provided with seed; while almost all
well-regulated plantations offer an annual
prize of 500 for the best ten acres Of
cotton, and $50 for the best ten acres of
corn. Good order and fair political in
telligence, and remarkable love of mon
ey pervade the enfranchiscd population.

tion at the Central Police Station near
by, at once assented to this suggestion,
and declared that he would 90 himself
pay his bill, and bring box of silks he
had at the other hotel After an hours
absence he returned, accompanied by
two porters, carryingon their shoulders a
large and apparently heavy box, con-
tanning police officer, which they depos-
tied in the corner of room. The sup
per previously ordered was now served {!
Your walk must have made you
thirsty" said the young woman, pouring
out glass of wine for her companion.
" But, before you sit down, have the
kindness to give me my handkerchief,
which have left over there on the sofa "
Suspectng some trick, b., while cross
ing the room, watched his new acquain-
tance closel y, and saw her throw pow
der into the glass of wine, which instead
Of swallowing, he dextriously managed to
spill on the carpet. In few moments
he showed signs of drowsiness, and began
to murmur incohecent words. Drawing
the syron near him, he felt something
in her pocket which excited his curiosity.
Upon asking what it was, she produced
the object---a beautiful little hammer.
"This," she said, is an opate of the
most powerful description. I'll show you
presently how it puts people to sleep"
b, had fallen to the floor, in an ap-
parent state Of complete unconsciousness.
STOPPING over him, the murderess raised
her anticipated victims head, placed
it in the most favorable position to
render the intended blow effective, and
had already raised the pretty little ham,
mer, when suddenly the box in the cor
ner few open with loud noise, and a
grip Of iron seized her upliftcd arm
On the trial, which took place shortly
afterward, the female assassin alleged, in
her defence, that she had been ruined
by william, and had sworn to be reven-
ged upon the entire male SEX This TO-
mantle story, however, did not prevent
her conviction and subsequent death on
the scaffold

A Curious Lake,

A California paper says:-All who
have attempted to swim in the waters Of
Lake Taboo must have been startled by
thcir strange lack Of buoyancy. Good
swimmers launch forth into the lake
with the utmost confidence in their skill
and at once find themselves foundering
and only able to keep aAoat by the most
strenuous cxertions. Going into Lake
Taboo after swimming in the generality
Of lakes-the lakes and streams of the
valleys-is like attempting to swim in
flesh water after having learned the art
in salt water, or even more trying. The
bodies or persons drowned in the lake
are never seen after they have once sunk.
On the five white persons drowned in
the lake, not a single body has ever been
recovered or even seen. The bones of
all are still in the lake. How many In
dians may have been lost in its waters in
times past no one knows. Pine logs float
in the lake but Il short time, then sink
never again to rise. In places far down
through the crystal fluid are to be seen
resting upon the bottom great quantities
Of slabs, logs and lumber The specific
gravity of the water we do not know
though we believe it has been more than
once analysed. It'certainly can hold in
solution but a very slight per cent OF
minerals of any kind.

AWAKE 4?

Brethren let us awake from sleep. and
look out upon the ungodly world which
lies around us Is it not sufficiently
startling and effecting to claim our Chris
tian sympathies, to engage our continual
prayers, and to energize our hearts in la
bors Of love? Behold the mass of hu-
man life which rolls onward before our
eyes, torrent-likc, rushing with rapid
speed to plunge itself into the dark and
unfathomable abyss Shall not the love
OF Christ cOnstrain us to care for those
who, in their headlodg, mad career of de-
struction, care not for themselves? Shall
we, by our worldlness and sclf.ndul-
gence, cause the way of salvation to be
evil spoken Of and despised? Will God
use us for the deliverance Of souls, if we
be not hol y vessels, meet for the Masters
use! Shall we know the awful doom of
the unconverted, trcacherously encourage
them in the road to ruin, by our trifing
with eternal realities? Are we pure
from the blood of all men ?" Do we
show, not only in word, but also in deed
and in truth, that the Spirit which dwells
in us is the Spirit Of holiness and the
Spirit Of love! Are we faithful witness
es Of the truth, that the God with whom
we have to do is :" a consuming fire" to
sin, and God Of all grace" to sinners.

Flies.
TENHE following from a

KNHE following from an exchange is
Il quite appropriate at the present time
The naturalists recognizes many hun
dred kinds of flies in this country: but
in our household economy we reduce
them mainly to three sorts-housing flies
biting-fies, and blue bottle or blow flies
The latter is readily distinguished the
two former are frequently confounded,
although easily known apart by the nat
uralist or an acute observer. They may
be however always identified at glance
by the position they assume on the wall.
A common house fly almost invariably
rests with his head downward, and how
ever it may light works it way round
until this direction is assumed. The
biting-hes, on the contrary, as universally
rest with the head pointing upward, ac-
ting in this respect precisely like
theequally blood-thirsty mosquito.
The brother of an eminent Rus
sian entomologist, now residing in the
United States, observed a peasant in his
own country killing some Of the flies on
the wall Of his hut without disturbing
Others and, on being questioned, he
gave as u reason that those with the
heads up were biters," and the others
were not. A careful examination of the
facts by the entomologist himself proved
the accuracy of the generalization thus
made by an Ignorant but observant man.

An Omen Bar in a COrnfield.

Here is California story, told to illus.
trate the cunning Of the crows in that
region: A hired man on Napa farm
was detailed to keep watch on the corn
field, and not let the black marauders in
uade the premises but like many other
men in similar situation, he tried to
plan method whereby so much labor
would not have to be performed so he
hit upon the plan of soaking some corn
in whiskey and placing it in the field, so
that the crows would surely get drunk,
and then he would have sure thing on
them and could kill them easily He
tried to shoot them with shot gun, but
crows can smell powder long way. After
soaking some corn over night, he put
bountiful supply in the field the next
morning. and in about two or three hours
he went out to see how things were pro-
crossing, and mark you what follows.
One OF the crows, little larger than the
rest, had taken possession of nearly all
the corn, and had built himself bar out
Of clods Of earth, and was retailing the
whiskey-soaked corn to the other crows
charging them three grains Of sprouted
corn for one soaked grain. Our hired
man had not the heart to kill any Of the
creatures that seemed in their action so
ikesmankind.

BE We Always Ready.

\ lady once asked Mr. Wesley, "Sup-
posing that you hne,o that you would die
at twelve o'clock tomorrow night. how
would you spend the intervening time ?"
" How, madam ?' he replied: wh{,
just as | intend to spend it now. |
should preach in the evening at Glouces
ter, and again at five tomorrow morning,
after that | should ride to Tewksbury.
preach in the afternoon, and meet the So
cieties in the evening. should then re-
pair to friend Martins house. who expects
to entertain me, converse and pray with
the family as usual, retire to my room at
ten o'clock, commend myself to my
heavenly Father, lie down to rest, and
wake up to glory
The proper method of preparation for
death is a life of faith in Christ and a
hearty and faithful discharge Of every
duty. Persons so living cannot be taken
unawares; they have living grace, and
they will have dynggrace whenever they
shall need it.
" As thy days are, so shall thy strength
be-" They have strength in life to live
to God, and in death to die in him.
BLESSED is that servant whom when
his Lord cometh, he shall tnd so doing."

that man thoroughly and wisely in

HERE-THERE.

S@d1tG hthIlLpG,
Here-are flowers that fade and perish,
Treasures, moth and rust consume:
Brightest hopes, our hearts can cherish,
Sinks at last in hope and gloom.
There-are plants forever vernal.
Blooming on that peaceful shore;
There the tree of life eternal
There are pleasures evermOre.
Here-we trill the sportive measure,
And we build our hopes so high;
But the sweetest song of pleasure
Bears the burden of sigh.
Therc-no fears, no nights shall enter,
Where the nations glory bring;
There, alone, perlections centre,
And the chief is Christ, our King.
Here-we chase the gilded bubble,
Strange, deluslve dreams pursue:
Few our days and full of trouble,
Full of sin and sorrow, too.
There-the pure in heart and spirit
See their God, and near him stand;
There the ransOmed soul inherit
Length of days at Gods right hand.
Shall we longer grope. and grovel.
With our hearts by sin ensnared?
Still abide in wretched hovel,
When those mansions are prepared.
Shall we not, with souls awaking,
Strive to lay up treasures there,
And in earnest sins forsaking,
For those mansions now prepare?
