Courtesy in New York.

The great want in New York is civility
in trade. Stewart, a short time before he
died, said that one of the great plaques
of his life was to find a salesman that
would be civil to poor people who wanted
8 few needles and some tape. To ladies
that trade in satins and laces men would
be polite. But the same salesman would
snub a small buyer. 1t is the universal
complaint that officials are impertinent.
One can hardly get civil answer IN
trade. One of our car conductors came
up the other morning to the Grand Cen
trail depot. His car was stopped two
blocks below. The train left at twelve.

wanted to take the noon train. Some of
them were aged and decrepid. Instead

Female BOhemians.

Lola MOntez was a latter dav bas
rOgues, the most successful and world
wide. An Irish girl with any amount of
fathers, her liberality OF moral style and
action was about her only heirloom, save
a face brimtul of expression, fine eyes
and multitudinOus hair. As a dancer
and actress she won half the hearts of
Paris, and married a monarch-the art
mad Ludwig. She lived then as a beg
gar on horseback, and by her absurdities
succeeded admirably in running her
husband to the ragged edge of ruin, from
which he was only saved by his people,
who threatened revolution if she were
not expelled from the kingdom. Here
ditary pride and ambition Overcame an
old mans foolish love, and Ludwig
assented to the demands of his ministers.
Heart broken he parted with Lola, who,
with light fantastic toe, tripped blithely
over to London, and, after a couple of
years of success as an actress, followed
the star of empire in its western course,
toured the United States as an actress

The CAPTURE OF MIR. DAVIS.

A Statement from EIIs COIOred COachman,
Who Was Present.
Soon after the close of the civil war in
1865, when Generals Lee and Johnston
had surrendered to tie United States,
forces, a good deal was said-much of it
false-in regard to the captdre of Jeffer-
son Davis, president of the confederacy.
Soon after his capture, James II. Jones,
a cOlOred man who was with Mr.. Davis
or his family during nearly the whole
time of the war in the capacity of coach
men, and who was with him when he was
taken prisoner in Georgia, furnished a
statement of the capture. Recently a
request has been made to gentlemen of
high standing in this city to procure from
James II Jones, statement of the whole
matter, which he has given. and which
we are permitted to copy as below. But
before giving the statement we will take
occasion to say that the author is a ma
tive of this city, and stands as high as
any colOred man in the state for truth
and integrity. He is and has been for
ten years captain Of the Victor fire COM
pany of this city, and was, until his re-
signation, captain of the Raleigh rifles, q
cOlored volunteer company of this city.
The statement is given as briefly as pcs
sible to be ineligible, and is as follows:
" I was coachman to Hon. JEFF. Davis
nearly all through theWar, and was with
him at the time of his capture, which
occurred on the 10th of May, 1865, be
tween three and four O'clOck in the morn
ing, some fifteen or sixteen miles from
the county seat of Wilcox county, GeOr-
gia, while in camp on the public road. I
heard the tramping of the horses of the
federal soldiers, as they were approaching
the camp, and awoke Mr.. Davis and told
him the Yankees were nearly on US. He
and his wife had been sleeping in their
tent. When I went in he got up, and by
the time he got his clothes on the soldiers
were in the camp and ten or twelve of
them were standing at his tent door with
their guns. No one could pass in or out.
Mrs. Davis and the children had not had
time 10 dress. Mr.. Davis went to the
tent door and was ordered by the soldiers
to surrender. He replied that he would
not; that he would die first. At this
Mrs. Davis pressed to her husband and
put her arms around his neck, begging
the soldiers not to kill him, both she and
the children were crying piteOusly.
'' 1t has been stated that Mr.. Davis had
on a hoop-skirt, and was otherwise dis
guised as a woman. This is wholly false.
He was dressed in his ordina.y clothing
with cavalry boots drawn over his pants,
a waterproof over his dress coat, a shawl
thrown over his shoulders, and on his
head a broad -brim white or drab Texas
hat. He had not an article of female
wear about his person.
"The following gentlemen were in the
camp and were captured at the same
time: Gen. Reagan, postmaster general;
Mr.. Harrisan, private secretary to Mr..
Davis; Col. LOvett, of Texas; Col. Joseph
Johnston, of Kentucky; Col. Joseph
Wood Escaped next day.; Mr.. William
Howell, brother to Mrs. Davis, and many
others, all of whom doubt not will cor
IobOrate what have stated above. -

BaltImore's Losses by the Strike.

Attention has been called in the Ga
Zette a number of times TO the serious
losses, caused by the strike on the Balti-
more and Ohio road, to nearly every
industry and branch of trade, wholesale
and retail.
1t is of course impossible to estimate
with absolute accuracy the amount of
loss, in dollars and cents. Inquiry by
the Gazette into this question makes it
certain, however, that it does not fall
short of several million dollars. The
railroad company itself has done no
freight business, its passenger traffic has
fallen off to a mere nothing, and freight
of all kinds, detained at various points,
has suffered more or less damage, some Of
it having been rendered utterly worthless.
The railroad property near Mount Clare
destroyed by fire was alone valued at
about $4,000 and the loss by other
causes has been at least $500,000. The
petroleum trade has been one of the
greatest sufferers. The loss to this
branch of trade may be put down at
100000, the loss to the grain trade at
100000, to The coal trade at S25, 700, to
the wholesale liquor trade at $50, 900 les
timating that the 500 saloons made an
average of only SO day., to the cattle
trade at 100000, and to other trades at
$5OO,O0O. Besides these items are to be
considered the cost of burning of the
sash factories near President street depot,
100000; the maintenance of the troops,
$25, 900, and of the special police, $15,-
600. There are, furthe- more, to be taken
into account the stOppage of manufactur
ing, and consequently of wages, the
effect of this upon the retail trades, and
another item is presented of not less
than $3OO.OOO.. This makes grand to-
tai of nearly $2,OOO,OO sum that will,
it is believed, come within the actual
figures could they be positively ascer-
tained. The following table will show
more clearly an approximate estimate of
the losses incurred by the various trades ::

Death of brigham Young.

The man With the largest family in
the United States is dead. Yesterday
afternoon, at four o'clock, Brigham
Young, the head of the Mormon church,
breathed his last. With him, perhaps,
Mormonism in this country dies too.
Certainly no one that he leaves behind
is likely ever to acquire the power and
influence that he has exercised. He
succeeded the prophet Joseph Smith in
1874, and in 1847 settled with his peO-
pie in the Salt Lake valley and founded
Salt Lake City. Converts in great num-
bers poured in from Europe, and the
colony rapidly grew in wealth and imPOr
tance. A state was formed in l849
called Deseret, and a legislature was
elected and a constitution framed, but
congress refused to recognize this govern
meut and proceeded to form the territory
of Utah. Brigham Young was appOin>
ted governor of the new territory by
President Fillmore. GOvenOr Young
soon drove the federal judges out of the
territory, and was accordingly displaced.
Col. Steptoe, of the United States ar
my, was appointed to succeed MIN, but
did not deem it prudent to accept the
Office, so that Brigham in reality remained
| governor. He declared that he would
| DO RONOuOI uublI bLC LO1u AIM
| should remove him. President Buchanan
sent force Of 2, 800 men to Salt Lake
city and appointed Alfred Cumming
governor, and though the MOrmons had
made preparations for resistance, an
understanding was finally arrived at
which ended h0stilities. The Mountain
Meadow massacre, with the details Of
which all newspaper readers are familiar,
is believed to have been instigated by
Young, and had not death removed him
he would probably have been brought to
trial and punishment. He was man of
great firmnesg. He ObstinaUely fought
all opposition, whether it sprang from
his own church or whether it came from
the United States authorities. He was

The Savannah News says Lincoln
county, Georgia, flows with honey. Mr..
Daniel Mumphord, who lives in the neigh
borhoOd of Salem, in that county, found and
robbed bee tree not long since, and got the
largest amount of honey we ever heard OF
coming from one hive. The hollow Of the
tree that contained the honey was nine feet
long and one foot in diameter, and was com
pletely filed. 1t is supposed that he got at
least two hundred pounds.
The Girod asylum donated to the city
of New Orleans as a refuge for the orphans
of French parents, and erected several years
ago at an expense of one hundred thousand
dollars, is now uninhabitable, owing to the
miasma which is constantly arising from the
swamps of the immediate vicinage. 1t takes
diurnal dose of quinine to keep them
straight. A new building in a new locality
is suggested. The terms of the will may
prevent a change.
The Monroe (Ga.) Advertiser says it
is really astonishing that from a source al
most entirely neglected for many years past
our people can derive a net income equal to
that derived from king cotton. The moral
of this is, take care of your orchards II you
nave any, and if you have none, lose no time
in planting choice and Wellselected fruit
trees.
In Lexington, Tennessee, there lives
an old negro man who claims to be the
father of one hundred and ffty-seven chill

General jackson met Packenhsm, and that
he then had wife and one child. He has
been married thirteen times, and twelve of
his wives bore him all his legitimate children,
one hundred and ifty-seven IN number. The
last one claims none of the honor of ma
ternity of this numerous progeny of her
prolific husband. He says most of his
children were born in triplets, and the
increase Of his family alone before the war
made his master rich.

It is officially announced that all the

An official telegram from the viceroy
of India summarizes the progress of the
famine of August goth to 28th. 1t says that
in Madras the situation is not improved
anywhere, and is distinctly worse in Madura,
Coimbatoon, HellOre and Salem, where $780,
III are on relief works, and 1,326,971 are
receiving gratuitous relief. In Miserere the
crop prospects are worse, and 243, ,283 are on
the reliet works or are receiving gratuitous
relief. More favorable accounts continue of
the condition of the crops in the Bombay
presidency. Owing to recent rains in the
northwest provinces the autumn crop in the
division of Agra and Jhans are nearly lost,
and in the Allahabad and Benares divisions
it is critical. There has been good rain in
Merut and Rohileund; the crops in Oudh
are suffering from hot winds; the condition
of Punjaub is critical and that of Gwalior,
Rajputana and Hyderabad is bad. There is
much destruction south of the Nisams do
m1nions; the Deccan is improved. The
prospects are good in south Bengal, Burmah,
and in the central provinces of Bera, lndore
and Rullam.

One Of BrigJlam's Dunes,

A writer in the Tribune, of Salt Lake
City, Utah, says: Some years ago l
listened to the story of one of Brigham S
dupes as he was escaping from beneath
the yoke. Born in Sweden, where he
espoused MormOn;sm, he started for
Zion with his young bride. Reaching
Cleveland, Ohio, his funds, he found,
would only bring one of them to Utah.
His wife stayed there with friends,
while he came here, went TO Provo,
where he found employment with a
bishop of the church. Money was earn
ed and given to Brigham to send for his
wife Months passed and no wife came.
Again money was sent, with like result,
until the husband had sent money four
times through the same course. Be
coming, at last, very much dI-gusted,
he announced his intention of going
after his wife, still serving the bishop
until he thought he had funds enough.
Applying for his pay just after har-
vest he was told to go to the stubble
field, where almost every head of wheat
had bean carefully collected, and to
"glean his pay there" He came to our
city followed by spies, and finally
reached Ogden and a friend there con-
cealed him, and with the aid OF kind
hearted railroad men he found his way
into liberty again. / saw him trembling
with fear while hiding from his pur-
suers; and, again, after he had passed
beyond their reach. How great was the
change in his department and looks.
Our valleys no doubt contain thousands
wko are receiving no better treatment,
and vet most of our visitors come here,
look on the best Of Mormon society, and
90 away and proclaim this a great,
prosperous. happy and free people.
TbeY know Just as much of the truo
Mormon life as if they had never visited

duty of England at the present moment was

Occasion might arise in which a definite

was to keep in view and maintain in every
possible way, the position and influence of
England, so that it could be of assistance in
bringing this miserable, disastrous, cruel
and barbaroUs war to a close.
