Renewal of theGQuarrel between Henry s.
FOOte and Jefferson Davis.

The political feud, which had its origin TWEEN.
ty-tlve years ago between Jefferson Davis and
Henry S. Foote, both then of Mississippi and
warm political opponents, and which lived
through successive party campaigns in the
State and in the country, did not abate one lot,
except for brief and delusive truce, when MIR.
Davis became President of the Confederate
States, and Mr.. Foote member of the Con-
federate House of Representatives, and sur
vived the wreck and ruin of the war and it's
defeats. 1t seems to-day to have increased in
intensity and bitterness in spite of their gray
heads and growing. wisdom and the thousands
OF examples of party and personal reconcilia-
tion that have occurred while they perpetuated
their quarrel. Recent publications of Mr..
Foote in Washington papers affecting Mr
Davis have added fresh material to their mutu.
al wrath, and now it is reported that duel is
actually being arranged by which to end the
feud forever The following letters form the
present climax of the trouble, the first appear
ing in the Washington Capitol, and being
private letter written last fall:
LETTER FROM NIB. DAVIS.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, November 25, 1873.
Mr.. -, Dear Sir: Yours of the 10th inst.
has been this day received. have not seen
any of the articles which you inform me II. s.
Foote had written in abuse of me; nor have
l had any desire to read whatever he might
write.
In the year 1851 published him as constitu-
tionaHy liar, and his subsequent career only
served to confirm me in that judgment. Since
that date, therefore, have taken no heed of
the utterances of said Foote His tattery,
when he was seeking political preferment in
the Confederacy, and his abuse when, faithless
to his trust as representative in the Congress
of the Confederate States, he was preparing for
his subsequent desertion to their enemy, were
alike disregarded by me.
You are at liberty to use this as you think
proper. - ~
remain, respectfully and truly yours,
JEFFERSON DAVIS.

TAKING OFF TIE SHOES.

In Syria, the people never take OF, tdeIt
cans or turbans when entering 4 hous" or
visiting friend, hut they always leave
their shoes a. The door. The reason IS
that their floors are covered WITH clean
mats and RUGS. and in the Moslem houses
the men kneel on the rugs to pray, and
press their foreheads to the floor, so that II
would not be decent OF respectful to walk
in with dirty shoes and soil the SHADY on
which they kneel to pray. They have nc
foot mats or scrapers, and it IS much
cheaper and simpler to leave the shoes
dirt and all, at the door.
Ii is very curious TO 90 the Syrian school
houses and see the piles of shoes al 'nG

tattered shoes, and kob-kobs are WOODEN
clogs, made 10 raise the feet out OF the
mud and water, having a little strap over
the toe to keep it on the foot. You VIII
often see little boys and girls running
down steps and paved streets on these
dangerous kob-kobs. Sometimes they
slip. and then down they go on their noses.
and the kob-kobs fly off and 20 rafting

But the funniest part is 70 see the boys
when they come out OF school and try 10

and of course a hundred shoes, all mixed
together in one pile. When school IS out
the boys make rush for the door. Then

The Baptist University.

Yesterday was the day appointed for
the Board of Trustees of the proposed
Southwestern Baptist University, for
purpose Of selecting IA sit for said insti-
tuition. The following named mem

From Middle Tennessee-Dr. VIM.
Shelton, DR.. w. p. Jones and L. il.

From West Tennessee-Rev. Mr..
Hillsman, Rev. DR.. Griffin and Judge

An informal meeting of the Board
was had at the First Baptist Church A.,
yesterday, but, as offers of sites had
been received, from only the tOlOnS of
Chattanooga, Murfreesboro' and Jack
son, ii was thought best TO adjourn I'M
til July ?, in order that other places
may be heard from. 1t was understood
that Chattanooga was prepared to aid
the institution to the extent of 500,
600, MurfreesboTo' proposed to do quite
as much, or more, and Jackson, it was
said, would offer $4,000 rather than
lose the University.-Ndsh. Union

We have several times given gen
eral opinion on this questiou-we can
not attempt to advise in particular
cases. The advice of Paul against
marriage with "unbelievers is not
wholly applicable to this time. There
was AN irreconcilable doctrinal and
moral antagonism between an ancient
heather aud Christian living in per-
petual exception of msrtyrdom from
heather foes. There could be no fell

yoke of long. horned Texas cattle, halt
ed on Lafayette street. The wagon
contained good looking woman, seven
children and considerable plumber.
A man, small boy and dog that ran
to tail, were the adjuncts. The party
was from Texas and were returning
from their old home in Decatur coun.
ty. An alderman of this city, who
had passed good many years in the
Lone Star State, approached the party
and said to the woman
From Texas, l presume?"

Didn't you like the country?'
Yes, sir.
Didn u you like the climate?'
Yes, sir
Did you have good crops? -
Oh, yes

A Conscientious Cabman.

A distinguished professor, residing
not thousand miles from Andover,
was recently on an excursion to Eu-
rope. Being in Edinburg one wet
Sunday, and desiring to go TO church,
he hired a cab. On reaching the church
door he tended a shilling to cabby,
the legal fare, and was somewhat sur
prised to hear the cabman say, - Twa
shullen, sir" The professor fixed his
eye upon the extortioner, demanded
why he charged two shillings, and
the cabman dryly answered, We
wush to discourage travelling on the
Sawbsth as much as possible, sir"
The fare was paid.

The Presidents Children.

From the Courier Journals Washington Core
spondence
1t is in the President household, as
it is in many families, that the daugh-
ter belongs more especially to the faith
er, and the oldest son to the mother.
The tie between Mrs. Grant and her
son Fred, is of the tenderest character.
1t is not unusual to see son act and
feel as a lover to his mother, and such
is the case with these two. Ulysses
came home from Cambridge for the
wedding. He does not resemble Fred
who bears a strong resemblance to his
father, but has the look Of student,
and is perhaps the most intellectual
member of the family. Jessie, who Is
now fifteen, and put on his first frock
coat for his sisters wedding, is bright
boy, and glories in being one of the
editors of an amateur journal. All of
Nellie's relatives gave presents, but
every one noticed that there was moth
ing from Mr.. Sartoris or any member
of his family. 1t may besthat they
reserved their presents until the bride
reaches England.

A Remarkable Case.

The New York Tribune gives this as
one of the current bits of gossip in that
city: IAN American gentleman of
large wealth and resident of this city
recently retired from business, and
after turning over to his wife his estate,
valued $3.50, 600, sailed for Europe up
on a pleasure trip. During his absence
his wife died, and under the laws of
the State of New York, there being no
child as heir, the entire property
goes to her father. The latter named
person failed in business some time
since, with debts amounting to $3.50, 600
and this entire vast property now goes
to the liquidation of the father in-law's
depts.n The mistake in this case was
that the wife had not made will after
the property had been put in her name
giving it the desired direction in case
of her death.

How TO Find out About Ii.

We made the statement that adver-
tisements are very generelly read. If
any one of practical turn Of mind
desire to test the accuracy of such a
statement, and at the same time learn
the effect of advertising on business,
let him advertise in two lines in the
most obscure part of some newspaper
that he wants to buy a dog. If he
does not want the visitation this will
bring him, let him insert line in the
midst of batch of other advertise
ments, that he will no longer pay his
his acquaintance and observe If there
is anything peculiar in their manner
that would seem to indicate that they
had read the notice.-LouiSViUe COI-

The County Court is in session Col
q. r. Mcclellan Is chairman. He is
spoken of IA candidate for Congress

good share Of candidates for county
offices. The politicians are active in
looking up their interests.

lessor A. j. Cox Is Presidents; :. G..
Cartwright, Vice President; j. p.
Hodge, Secretary, and ID. j. Price, as
sistant. The institute is well attended.
There Is much interest manifested in

takingau abiding interest in the school
question. Profs. Giesler. Gale, Cox
Bell, Cartwright, Price, Poe, Thorton,
WeXler, and others are wide awake on
the subject of public schools. Prof.
Cox makes good presiding officer.
The institute has pleasant and prof
liable meeting. The efficient County
superintendent, q. r. Anderson; was
detained at home on account of sick
ness. The Institute will hold two
days session. Some able speeches
were made and some valuable papers
