J JEFFERSON DAVIS.

We advise brother Charlton to 90
to the springs few days. He is un.
well, and his system indicates a dis
ordered liver. The Age of Tuesday
evening is not the gentle-spirited
journal which we naturally expect
from its amiable editor. He cuts right
and left, and evidently expects to
hurt somebody. He is very much
exercised because the people of Win
nebago county, Illinois, went back on
jefferson Davis, and speaks about
"knaves," dastardly scoundrels,"
etc. He charges the Republican par
ty with having instigated the recent
troubles in Georgia between the
whites and certain colored people,
and says the party in power is anx-
ious to inflame the Southern mind,
and goad it on to some desperate act
Of disloyalty? 1t is as plain as the
nose on a mans face, and the object
is equally as apparent. This has
been its uniform policy for years
past" lie adds:
"And is it not self-evident that the same
party determined to forestall the visit of
Mr.. Davis to Illinois on the ground that
they entertained serious fears that he
would utter patriotic sentiments, and thus
hasten the approach of fraternal feelings
between the sections. This is just what
Mr. DAVIS would have done, AS foreshad,
owed in his late letter to the farmers of
that State. He would have gone there full
of this theme, and certain political miscre-
ants knew it. This they would not have had
to occur for any consideration, and hence the
hubbub they raised on the subject"
Now, we do not wish to discuss the
first proposition advanced, that the
policy of the Republican party " for
years past has been to "inhame the
Southern mind" We simply deny that
such is the case.
His idea that the'people of Illinois
were afraid of jeff. Davis uttering
patriotic sentiments, and thus hasten
the approach of fraternal feelings be-
tween the sections" is decidedly rich.
JEFF. Davis has scarcely ever opened
his mouth since the war that he did
not make thousands Of Republican
votes. His speech before the South
ern Historical Society, some time ago,
was published in almost every Repub-
lican paper in the country, and helped
the Republican cause more than can
be imagined.
The effort to create sympathy for
him now, on the score of his treat. |
ment by the people of Winnebago |
county, Illinois, will fail. For our
own part, we have no objection to urge
against him speaking whenever and
wherever he can get an audience, but
we believe no place suits him as well |
as station in private life.

THE tendency in some quarters is to
martyrise JEFF. Davis on account of his
recent treatment by the people of
Winnebago, Illinois. He was invited
by the Directors OF a Fair Association
to deliver an address this fall. When
it became known so much opposition
was elected that he was constrained to
decline, after having accepted the in
vitation, and that is all there is Of It.
That he was expected to teach the
farmers Of Illinois anything on the
subject of agriculture, we presume no
one will insist The Directors thought
perhaps, that between morbid
curiosity to see the rebel chieftain
and a maudlin sympathy on the part
of political tiunkeys, they could get
out larger crowd at their fair. They
intended to make money Just as Old
John Robinson does by exhibiting his
menagerie. But the people Of Illinois
have a right to object to him address
ing if they desire. Under all the cir
cumstances, Mr.. Davis will gain more
credit for good taste and good sense, as
well as for patriotism, if he will spend
the remainder of his life in quiet re-
tirement, and not seek to gain notoriety
by coming to the front as a public
teacher on any question, and especially
in politics.

THE Press and Herald, unable to
make out a case Of contraction of the
currency since 1865, persists in
counting the seven-thirty bonds, five
per cent. legal tender notes, COM
pound interest notes, etc. We might,
with just the same propriety, count
the fye.twenties of to-day as circu-
luting currency. We presume if we
were to corner" them on these figures
they would proceed to count all State
bonds, railroad bonds, corporation
bonds, corporation scrip, ETC., as cir
culating currency. Pursuing this pol
icy, we despair of ever getting
our contemporary to stop long enough
to know just where it is.
But there is one thing which our
neighbor has not answered, nor at
tempted to answer. 1t now insists
that a contraction Of the currency is
what caused the financial panic. We
haye shown that the contraction of
which it speaks took place in l8G7-8.
Times were as flush" the business
Of the country just as prosperous
from that time until September, 1873,
as ever before. Why, then, if this
contraction, of which the Press and
Herold complains, caused the panic,
did it not come four years sooner?
The fact is, and every man that will
give the matter careful thought will
see it, that the contraction had moth
ing to do with it, The panic was the
result Of over-production, speculation
and general extravaganza.

WHAT IT SAID THEN.

Both Houses of Congress are actively
discussing the financial question Honor
able mem bers-st least majority Of them
lay down ms a fundamental principle Of
finance that the only way to make money
plenty in every mans pocket, is to print it
more rapidly. And so we are going to
have "wild cat " initiation theories resolved
into practice Pres and Herald, AprH
I'd, 1874.
On the 21st of April, 1874, the
Press and Herald quoted approvingly
from Senator Thurman, as follows:
"Itook my position after long and care
ful study, and from a perfect conviction Of
its correctness ! know full well how easy
it would be to acquire temporary popularity
by joining the inAationists, but | never
have done, and l never will do, what l
know to be wrong in order to acquire I'M
merited praise. Besides, | can not disre-
gard the teachings of that party to which
have ever honestly belonged, and which
inculcated, from the very first day of its
existence, the doctrine that irredeemable
paper money is one of the worst evils with
which any country can be cursed
On the oath day of April the same
paper gave emphasis to the following
by printing it double.leaded at the
head Of its editorial column:
"The President has vetoed the Senate
finance bill, and in refusing to attach his
signature to the bill has expressed himself
as an advocate of national honesty and hard
money. His decision will be sustained by a
large majority of the prudent, thinking
men Of the country, regardless Of politics"

The DeIusfOns OF Smell.

This sense, like the others, has its
alterations and hallucinatiOns. The
decisions of smell are hardly ever
isolated, OF occupy those of hearing,
sight, taste and touch, and are also
less frequent than the latter. Insane
people, who are affected with them,
complain of being haunted by fetid
emanatiOns or congratulate them
selves ON inhaling the most delicious
perfumes. Lelut mentions the case of
q woman, an inmate of La Salpetriere,
who fancied that she constantly per-
ceived a frightful stencil proceeding
from the decay of bodies in the courts
of that institution. Impressions of
the kind are usually very annoying.
Rrierre DE BoismOnt relates the ac-
count of a woman affected by disorder
of the senses. Whenever she saw a
well-dressed lady passing she smelt the
OdOr of musk, which was intOlerable to
her. If it were a man, she was dis
tressingly affected by the smell of
tobacco, though she was quite aware
that those scents existed snly in her
imagination. Campelini mentions that
a woman, who declared that she could
not bear the smell of a rose, was quite
i'll when one of her friends came in
wearing one, though the unlucky flower
was only artificial. Such facts might
be multiplied; but, as they are all
alike, it ID not worth while to mention
more of them. The observations made
in insane asylums, among Others, those
of NJ. Provost, at Salpetriere, have
shown also that these delusiOns and
perversiOns of the sense of smell are
more common than has hitherto beer

The Power Of a Word.

Did you ever think how much power
is vested in wOrdf 1t may have
caused but little exertiOn on your part
to utter it. Only a single breath may
have been required to watt it from
your lips to the ears of your listener,
but when once spoken, it was past
recall. 1t revealed the secret motives
and ACKNOWLEDGMENT the hidden thoughts
of your heart. All, the word may have
been n thOughtless one spoken in an
unguarded moment: but it left its i'm
press, and may be remembered long
after your voice is hushed, and you are
sleeping the sleep that knows no
waking.
Perhaps the word was an unkind one,
| harsbly spoken, and accompanied by a
cold. chilling look, which cast gloomy
shadow DER some loving, sensitive
heart Perhaps it was one of malice,
envy, or deceit, and enkindled a bitter
feeling of resentment which will live
on and on while memory lasts; or it
may have beer a cheerful, pleasant,
loving word. proceeding from heart
brimful of the purest kindness, which
| fell like sweetest music on the listening
ear, touching a hidden chord in the
soul, which will ever respond in strains
of love and harmony. Perchance it
may have been a word of sympathy or
encouragement, spoken in tenderest
accents, so that very word may have
scattered the clouds, dispelled the
gloom, and ditfused sunshine into the
heart well nigh crushed beneath its
burden of woe.
Words may seem but little things to
us, but they possess a power beyond
calculation. They swiftly fly from us
to others, and though We scarcely give
them a passing thought, their spirit
lives. Though they are as tieeting as
the breath that bore them, their infiu-
ence is as enduring as the heart they
reach. All, well may We guard our
lips, so that none grieve in silence over
words that we have carelessly dropped.
Well may we strive to scatter loving,
cheering encouraging words to soOthe
the weary, and awaken the nobler, finer
feelings of those with whom we daily
come in contact. Well may we endeavor
to use right words, for they are indeed
precious. How they endear each to
the other. Though they cost the
speaker nothing, they are more valu-
able than diamonds. and shed a
brighter lustre on all around.

Perfumes.

Our fair readers may be interested
to learn where, for the most part, the
flowers grow the sweet perfumes Of
which are found in those pretty hacOns
on their dressing-tables. The chief
places of their growth are the south of
France and Piedmont, namely, Mont
pellier, Grasse, Mines, Cannes, and
Nice; these two last especially are the
paradise of ViOlets, and furnish yearly
product of about 1900 lbs. of Violet
blossoms. Nice produces harvest of
100000 lbs. of Orange blossoms, and
Cannes as much again, and of finer
color; 800 lbs. of Orange blossoms yield
about 3 lbs. of pure NerOli oil. At
Cannes the Acacia thrives well, and
produces yearly about 1900 lbs. of
Acacia blossoms. One great perfumery
distillery at Cannes uses yearly 10000
lbs. of Orange blossoms, 10000 lbs. of
Rose leaves, $1,000 lbs. of Jessamine
blossoms, 10000 lbs. of ViOlets, and
5000 lbs. of TuberOses; together with a
great many other sweet herbs. The
extraction of the ethereal oils, the
small quantities of which are mixed in
the flowers with such large quantities
other vegetable juices that ii requires
about 600 lbs. of Rose leaves to win
one ounce of otto of Roses, demands a
very careful treatment. The French
favored by their climate. are the most
active, although not always the most
careful preparers of perfumes; hail. OF
the world is furnished by this branch
of their industry.

The Guitar.

Considering the object for which the
guitar has been adopted by all classes
Of society in Spain, and more especially
in this hght-hearted Malaga, namely,
that of serenading al ciet serene fav-
orite belle or a mere friend during the
still hours of starry night, no instru-
ment can compete with it for effect. As
the serenader-generally attended by
one or two friends to sing second or
as chorus-enters one of the aristo-
cratic calies, to plant himself in front
of the palacio in which the divinity
dwells, and sweeps his fingers over the
strings rasguerGndO, the soft sound
pervades the air, and breaks on the ear
with pleasing thrill which must be
heard to be understood. He continues
fozeandO on the strings. or as the Ital-
ians say, arpeggiandO. for a few min
utes, certain that by this time the har-
monious sound has penetrated to the
intended nook within the abode and
awakened the favored inmate. Then a
tenor, base, and baritone are softly
combined with the sounds of the gui-
tar, producing the effect of an opera
terzet accompanied by violini pizzicati.
To make sure that this melOdiOus pre-
lude has awakened from her slumbers
the adorata, the serenader now strikes
all the strings in a particular manner
gospeando, tapping the sounding board
at the same time with the hand for two
or three minutes in the most hilarious
style. But now the rising of the lower
half of a jalousie in an upper room,
through which a faint beam of light
appears, once more awakens the soft
arpeggios of the instrument, accom-
panying the touching and imploring
seguidillas according as the Intentional
theme is required to be affectionately
tender or simply joyous, and with that
the serenade MISUNDERSTANDING.

MISCELLANY.
The Marks of "a Minister.

4 correspondent of the National
BAPTIST tells this story of the late DIR.
Brthune:
ON one occasion, when the Doctor
WAS resident in Philadelphia, he went
fol a few days of rest to a trout stream
he had heard of in the interior of the
State. Arriving, an entire stranger, at
A house kept by man who had been
accustomed to entertain those who
came there to fish, he was coldly re-
ccived The man told him frankly
that he had attended a protracted
meeting during the Winter, that he
hoped the Lord had forgiven his sins,
and that he had iOinad the Methodist
Church, and meant to give up going
with the kind of men who came up
there to fish. The Doctors humor
overcame his scruples so far as To gain
admittance for the night, and the next
morning succeeded still further, pre-
vailing upon the man to 90 ont with
him and show him the best places of
the stream. They spent most of the
day together, and, on returning to the
house in the afternoon, the man slapped
him on the shoulder, saying:
DOC, like you."
"Why do you like me, my friend ~
well, Doe, I'll tell you. We've
been out almost all day, we haven't
caught much. you fell in and got wet,
and haven't heard You swear once
After supper, rs the Doctor was
smoking his pipe in front of the house,
his host came ont, and, with some hest
fancy, said: doc, since | Jined the
church Eve had prayers every night !;
We are going To have them now, and
maybe you wouldn't object to come in.
Certainly not, my friend;" and he
went in TO listen to the reading of a
passage in a broken way, and to JOIN
heartily in good old Methodist hymn.
During the singing the man watched
him closely, and at the end said an
Niously, Maybe Won wouldn't mind
leading us in prayer" The Doctor
knelt and offered one of those full and
hearty. yet simple supplications which
are So well remembered by all who
knew him. He was hardly seated in
front of the house again before the
man reappeared, saying, Doc, | kinder
suspicion you
What do you suspect me Off Moth
ing bad, hopem
'No. nothing bad, and maybe I'm
wrong; but | Kind o think you are IA
minister
What makes you think I'm min
ister9'
well, I'll tell you: | haven't hearn
YOU swear since you came; then the
way you lined us in the hymn; then
the way you prayed, made me think
you was a minister"
The doctor laughed heartily as he
acknowledged that he was indeed a
minister.
