JEFFERSON DAVIS.
He is serenaded by the Silver Cor
net Band.

Hon. Jefferson Davis returned to the
city yesterday from Lookout Mountain
and took rooms at the Burns House. A
number of friends called on him during
the day, and about ten o'clock last night
he received serenade from the Silver
Cornet Band. Quite a crowd gathered
around the Burns House to listen to the
delightful music of the band, and to catch
glimpse of the late President of the
''so-called." Mr.. Davis did not show him
self until few gentlemen went to his
room and requested that'he would say a
few words to the assembly. Mr.. Davis
was just making preparations to retire for
the night, and somewhat reluctantly COM
piled with the request. Stepping upon
the porch, he advanced to the front, and
was introduced by Col. Sam. Boyce as
"Hon. Jefferson Davis" Mr.. Davis then
spoke substantially as follows:
"My friends, it affects me from the very
bottom of my heart to receive this DEM
onstration of your kindly feelings towards
me. had retired in double sense. For
the night and from public life. In view
of the past 70 man can blame me for my
determination to let those who have the
power dictate how the country shall be
governed. But standing here tonight
upon the sacred soil of Tennessee, I will
say to you that I wish you all the prosper
ity that is possible. Looking back upon
the past, and forward to the future, can
see nothing that should taint your honor
1t is not the part of brave men to brood
over the sorrows of the past, but rather to
look forward with bright hopes for the fu-
ture. You have as brave and high-mind-
ed people as can be found, and as noble
women as live on earth, (applauso) and I
wish you all the happiness and prosperity
that is in human life to enjoy. Again, l
thank you for this manifestation of your
kindness"
At the conclusion Of Mr.. Davis re-
marks he retired to his room, and after
another melody from the band the crowd
dispersed, 1t is proper to state that this
demonstration had not the slightest polit-
ical significance. The serenado was the
natural expression of the feeling of many
strong personal friends of Mr.. Davis and
the fact that the Silver CqFpa* Rsnl $50 SO
readily agreed to the proposition Is very
strong evidence of the cordial feeling that
exists between our citizens Of all sections,
for at least half of the Silver Cornet Band
are Northern men and were Federal SOL
diers, while the others were nearly all in
the Confederate army. Those who had
been rebels made no objection to taking
part with the band at the decoration of
the Federal graves in the National Gem
ctery here last May, neither could the
Northern men and Federal soldiers now
refuse to assist them in paying proper re-
spect to their late leader.-ChaHanOoga

California Tea.

California has added tea to her other
wonderful products, and we shall soon be
independent of China for our evening bev-
erage. The Folsom Telegraph says the
experiments Of Herr Schnell, in raising
the tea tree at bis plantation among the
foothills of EldOrado county, has been
completely successful, the first tea has
been drank and pronounced by good judg-
es to be equal if not superior to the best
imported. His numerous Japanese plants
are also thriving finely, his Japanese work.
men are well pleased with the country,
and the Telegraph says enthusiastically,
"this experiment will prove the long neg
lected foothills to be the most desirable
land in the State. With tea, silk, wheat
and the vine, California can and will be-
come in time one of the richest States in
the Union"

Once too Often.

A New York paper says: A shocking
affair occurred at Indian Falls, GeneseG
river, on the Reservation, ON Sunday af-
ternoon last, that resulted in the death Of
a man named Wight. 1t seems that on
two or three previous occasions this fool
hardy man had accomplished the danger
Gus feat of jumping into the water from
the window of the mill at Indian Falls, a
distance of some fifty or sixty feet. On
Sunday he proposed to take another leap,
when cone0urse of some two or three hun
dred people were present to witness the
performance. He made the leap, but
turning in his fall he struck the water on
his chest and face, when he sank to the
bottom. The blow had so stunned and in
jured him that he Immediately drowned.
When taken out the blood was flowing
from his mouth, nostrils and ears. He
was about twenty y-eight years of age.

Officers Going to Europe.

1t is already we'll known that Licuton-
ant-General Sheridan, with other distin-
guished officers, have left for the seat of
war to observe operations either on the
French or the Prussian side, as the case
may be. The Emperor has announced
officially that no foreign officers or civil
ians will be permitted to accompany the
imperial or corps headquarters. This de-
termination will doubtless be- changed
when General Sheridan, the second officer
in command of the United States Army,
and one of the most brilliant fighting men
of the age, presents his credentials to the
French Minister of War, endorsed by Mr..
Washburpe. If General Sheridan should
fail in attempting to reach the French
headquarters he will doubtless fnd no diff
fculty in joining those of the Prussian
army, where he will unquestionably be
able to witness plenty of fighting under
the most eminent military leaders of the
times.
The Navy Department will send cut a
board consisting of commodore, captain,
commander and lieutenant commander, to
observe the naval operations, which are
likely to be of great Importance on the
North Sea and the Baltic. The officers to
be selected will represent the elite of our
naval service, gentlemen of the highest
scientific attainments, Of great experience
and possessing powers of the keenest OBJ
servers. As our navy will be represented
at the scene of the conflict, some of the Of
feers may accompany our own vessels,
but generally, they will be expected to
unite their fortunes with the combatants
on their respective ships.

The Left Bank,

The New York Herald directs attention
to the fact that, as we shall have for some
time to come, in detailing the war-like
movements of the French and the Prus.
slams, to speak frequently of the right and
the left bank of the Rhine, the Moselle,
the Main, etc., and as tho general reader
is apt to confounG the banks of river
with the movements ofan army up or down
the stream, it should be understood that
the right bank of river is always the
bank which is on the right hand as you
look down the stream, and the left bank
will never be placed on the wrong side.

a Heroine.

Well, here is young woman who in
stead of attending conventions and max
ing speeches, and signing petitions, and
sending her autograph to Theodore Tilton,
has really done something to demonstrate
practically that women are as good as
men, and good deal better. Name, Miss
Wilson; age sixteen; habitation Newport
Vile, Bucks county, Pennsylvania; exploit,
cutting with a span of horses and reap
er twenty-five acres of wheat and forty
acres of grass. When last heard from,
Miss Wilson was about to crown her
achievements by cutting forty acres Of
oats. This is what we like. This is
something to the purpose; there is no the
CRY here. Forty conventions might have
debated forty days and as many nights
whether the grain cutting capacity of wo-
man is equal to the grain-cuttiDg capacity
of man, and, after immense wrangling
have come to no conclusion worth men,
tioning. Our Bucks county heroine does
not talk, but she goes and does it.-.Ns',
