JEFF. DAVIS AND HIS CoLoRED FR1ENDs.-
The st. Louis Christian Advocate says: "Du-
ring the late visit Of the Hon. Jefferson Davis
TO this city, while he was being called on by
crowds of respectable citizens, and receiving
manifestations of respect from hundreds of the
most prominent and worthy ladies and gentle
men of the city there occurred little episode H de
his stay at the Planters House he was sere-
naded by some colored people who were former
ly his slaves After their dulcet strains had
ceased, Mr.. Davis called them into his room,
where, after cordial greetings on both sides and
a little chat about old times, he made each
q handsome present.. At another time during
his stay he was called on by an old aunty' who
had been the nurse of his eldest child. The
affection that the e:1-slave manifested for their
former master and the interest which he mani
tested for them and their future welfare were
really affecting"

FRIGHTENED TO DEArH.-Dr. G. W. Brooks,
of Mayfeld, ILL.,, WIS in town on Saturday, and
related to gentleman here sad case of a
young lady who lost her life by shock to her
nerves, caused by fear produced by finding her
self in dangerous proximity to large rattle
snake, at his residence, a little more than a
week ago. The Doctor and his wife had gone
out to gather mulberries, leaving the young la
dy at home. During their absence she went
into the lawn near the house, and sat under the
shade of tree, and after sitting awhile she
was startled, she says, by feeling the hot breath
of the snake on her cheek. She started to her
feet, and screamed frantically, her cries reach
ing the ears of Mrs. Brooks, who came home
ahead of her husband. Mrs. Brooks seized a
gun, and, hurrying to her assistance, shot the
snake, which, on being measured, proved to b be
was so great that she was thrown in spasms,
and it intervals she would rave about the hot
breath of the snake. On Tuesday last she died
in great agony, deiyinng. all the medical skill

HERE'S R1cHNEss.-W When people talk about
millionaires usually mention Rothschild first,
but there is man in England by the name Of
Ward, in comparison with whom any Roth
child is a pauper. This man Ward inherits q
vast property, accumulated investments and
estates, which give him an enormous income; !;
the finest collection of art, and the finest coun-
try seats in the kingdom, his wife is celebrated
for her beauty, and her display of diamonds at
the recent festival given by the Emperor of
Austria, in Vienna, made al the other ladies,
the Expresses, Queen and Princesses look
poor. What the income of This British Creosus
is, we have never seen any statement of, but a
Manchester paper gives an account OF his an
nual profits derived from his coal mines, which
amount to the enormous sum of G2,900, ,0OO.
So the income from one source alone of this
inordinateIy wealthy person is not much short
Of $25,00O,000 year.

A REM1NIscENcE OF THE WAR.-In his
"Jail Journal" John Mitchell writes of bellum
days, 1862, in Richmond. Speaking, of the Or
ganization of the Confederate Army, let us here
mention very surprising part of his history ::
'The officers being elective, and the time ap-
pointed for the new election falling last sum-
mer, n just when the enemy, in overwhelming
force, was pressing upon Yorktown on their .3
way up the peninsula towards Richmond, the
elections were held there and then, on the line,
in the trenches, in actual presence of the enc
my. Was there ever before an instance of an
army changing, by election, the whole body of
its regimental officers on the very eve of battle
Yet here it was done, quietly, regularly, with
out moments excitement or confusion. This
as well as several other examples I could men.
ton, has brought me to the conclusion that of
all races of men of the world, these Southerners
have the largest amount of sang froid-of gen
une impassive GOODNESS and steadiness. Yet
the very contrary is the current and received
idea of their character. Southern impulsive-
ness, Southern passion, and wild, blind fury
this is the cant. The direct opposite is the
fact"

- The editor of the San Francisco Chroni-
Gle. after stating that he has "no desire to en-
gage in a personal controversy" proceeds to
characterize the editor of. rival newspaper as
"a drunken and cowardly idiot, who disgraces
journalism" ~
- The Alabama Commonwealth says: 10
Judge by the rule that he is a successful agrl-
culturst who knows how to make two blades
of grass grow where one grew BEFORE the ne
groes are the finest farmers in the world, Tor
under their skilful culture it is no uncommon
thing to see a dozen blades grow where one
grew before"
People should read more, and then they
would not need to ask so many useless questions
as to matters and things to be read in their
county papers. A good many people do not
read at all. Some of them fail to do so because
they cannot; others because they are too sordid
to take newspaper, but just sit down to read,
and they are the best Of listeners, and ask CUES
tions enough to fence a ten acre patch. Some
do not read because they are fearful they will
read some things that are not true, and they
cannot tell the truth from the false. Others,
again, do not read because they do not have
time. This is specous plea, and often used !;
but that sort are pretty good at very heavy
''sitting around chewing tobacco" Some peo-
pie are very poor readers, and therefore never
deem it best for them to improve themselves
in such useless pastimes. Every one who has
claim to anything should at least read his
county papers, and know what is going on at
home, or hand in his checks and pass off at the
other end of the platform.

FETISH WORSHIP AMONG THE FREEDMEN.
-Rev. J. S. K. Legare, native OF South Car
olina, a graduate of Yale College 1881 and
always resident of the South, now mission
ary of the Sunday School Union, writes: 81
have been working for month past among
the freedmen in malarial region in Georgia,
where there are great numbers in much lgnor-
ance and destitution Of true religious instruc-
ton. They now carry on their religious wor-
ship by themselves, aloof from the white people,
and the greatest part of their services consists
in singing and sometimes in running round IN
kind of dance, with clapping of hands and
loud EXPLANATIONS. They are exceedingly
fond of singing, and all kinds of music, and
they do indeed sing very feelingly, and some.
times very thrillingly. But they are really in
simple truths and principles of our blessed
gospel.
"Let me tell you what witnessed on Sunday
afternoon, at place where had heard that
great numbers Of them were accustomed to
collect for religious exercises, and where l
called to arrange if practicable for organizing
a Sunday School among them. Coming sud-
denly upon them 1 witnessed scene that
grieYed me to my heart. A large crowd of
them were dancing in circle round young
woman dressed in the oldest and most faring
colors, in the most fantastic style, having on
her head red striped bandana handkerchief
set up like q turban, only the four corners
stood out like towers or horns. AS they danced
round her. an old man, who seemed to be their
leader, and who, afterward learned, claimed
to be a conjurer, would step up behind and
touch the statuary maid and then start back
with mournful lament, when the crowd would
clap their hands and cry aloud. During this
excitement the woman would whoop and yell,
jumping and running round, until exhausted
and falling down in state of torpor.
''I stopped them and told them that God was
not honored by such worship. learned that
this fetish worship is quite common among
some of them"

"BOys Will Be Boys"

Never lose heart or stop praying because
your boys are a lit.le wild. While you sadly
call to mind the things they have forgotten,
you are ignorant OF the things they remember.
1t is the fashion for boys to appear Indifferent
to the counses of parents They have an idea
that it is rather the handsome thing to take
good advice in cogged sort of way, just as
they take medicine, and very brave thing to
dare your threat. All this is written in the
code of boyhood. We can't quite say with
Emerson, that it is the bad boy that makes the
good man, and yet we have a great deal OF SYM
pathy with that ovcrfowing spirit of youth
which is sometimes q little reckless, and which
very frequently leads into mischief Just sit
down, if you have such son, and recall your
own early days. 1t may be difficult for you,
lust now, when you are in middle life, to see
the fun which the boy finds in what appears to
you to be utterly foolish, or perhaps wantonly
evil but if you Will turn to the early chapters
of your own biography, you will find yourself
stopping up the ypouts of the old country
house, Just to see the rain pour over like a
waterfall, and you will recall the fun OF the
old gentleman's embarrassment, as he rushes
out into the rain, bareheaded, to find the cause
of the trouble, and thereby got an attack OF the
rheumatism which laid him up for q couple of
weeks. Well, your boy is going through the
same experience, and by-and-by he will regard
it as you do now, as an unutterably foolish
thing, and wonder where in the world the fun
was The truth is, these pfanks are as neces-
sary to boyhood as the measles. They are the
result of natural animal spirits, which can no
more be repressed than can the waters that
come bubbling up put of the sand.
We remember that when we were very young,
wild colt presented his heels to us in such a
forcible manner, that before our surprise had
vanished we found ourselves in little, dis
gusted heap on the other side of fve-rail
fence. At the time, we thought it an unhorse-
ly thing to do, and felt exceedingly like pelting
the creature with stones. But he came up to
the fence with such demure and abashed
look, and put his head between the rails and
snufled at us in such repentant mood, that we
concluded it was part of the necessary expert
ence of the animal, and cheerfully forgave
him. Now, boys are coltish. They never
think of consequences They only have the
fun of the thing in view. -,
Don't stop praying, and praying hopefully
for your children at such times. BY keeping
close to the boys heart, and trying to appre-
