Health OrEx-Pre~Ideut Davis and
Family,

New Orleans Democrat
A letter from an intimate friend of
eX-President Davis, written at Beauvoir,
informs us that for some months past
Mrs. Davis has been seriously i'll, and
that Mr.. Davis has himself been fearfully
Frustrated by anxiety and care for her.
To add to their distress, while Mrs.
Davis was convalescing the news came
that their son jefferson Davis, Jr., had
fallen i'll with the fever in Memphis
In their feeble condition the President
and Mrs. Davis made hasty preparations
to fly to the bedside of their only re-
naming son. 1t was evident, however,
to their friends that it would be impos-
sible Tor them to make the mouruful
voyage, and by the entreaties Of Mrs.
Dorsey and Major Walthall they were
restrained from a venture that would
have been fatal to both. Major Wal
thall, who has long been as one Of the
family, insisted on going to Memphis
himself, and arrived there in time to
convey to the dying youth the words of
love and tenderness he bore from his af
fiicted parents
The people Of the whole South deeply
sympathize with our illustrious fellow
citizen and his wife in the great calamity
which has overwhelmed them, and we
are sure that it is the prayer Of all
hearts that they may improve in health,
and Ne long spared to a people who love
them for the suferings and prosecutions
they have so heroically endured for our
common cause.

No matter how Masonry and Odd Eel

called the elder and junior sisters of hu-
man charity. While neither of them al

low fever Affections of this year, present
ed to the whole world, the grandest dis
play of charitable brotherhood ever wit
messed upon earth. They have each
risen in moral grandeur and social power
as the necessities of our overwhelming
troubles have demanded, for each have
poured out their treasure to the suffering
brethren of the South with unstinted
liberality, and in every case, have cried
out in tones that sent thrill of Joy and

Wytheville lVa.l Telegram to Chicago
Times.l
Considerable excitement was created
in this community to-day by the arrest
of Kelly Patterson, charged with COM
hitting a rape on Lily Taylor, young
girl of fourteen. Patterson was tried
before a magistrate this morning, but
the evidence not being sufficient he was
discharged. Many Of the people Of the
community were indignant at this yer
dict, and threats were freely INDUCED in
by many Of the people, particularly
lower class of women living in the sub
urbs Of the city. The mother of his
alleged victim declared that she would
head a gang Of women and lynch the
dispoiler Of her daughters virtue before
midnight
Tonight, about o'clock, a gang of
twelve women appeared at Patterson's
lodgings and called him out, but he de-
eIined to come out. Lily Taylor, armed
with heavy cowhide, forced her way into
the room with assistance Of her mother
and other female associates, dragged the
man out Of bed, placed him IN a push
cart and carried him to the woods, where
his hands and feet were boInd to a sap
ping, all of his clothes except his pants
removed, and each OF the women admin
istered a severe hoggiug upon his bare
back, each blow bringing the blood.
The wretch cried for mercy, and i'm
plored his torment0rs to release him, but
they kept up the hogging until Patter-
son was utterly exhausted, and the
blood ran down his legs. The punish
ment was not abated until the Amazons
we're exhausted, when they left their
victim tied to the tree and returned
home, intending, some of the women
said, to return and hang him tomorrow.
Cotton factories and cotton seed mills
are constantly increasing in the South.
A little establishment near Westminster,
Ga, Of which the machinery only cost
50, 500, turns out about S27 worth of
manufactured goods daily, and employs
eight hands at fifty cents a day. The
village consumes the product, and the
owners who are also planters, obtain q
vastly higher price for their cotton than
if they shipped it.

The Indianapolis Sentinel comes out
in favor of Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks
as the Democratic candidate for the
Presidency, and in an able editorial ad-
vocates his claims. Upon this the
Knoxville Tribune comments and says:
"The courage displayed by Mr.. Hen
bricks during the agitation in Congress
when the bill organizing the Electoral
Commission was under discussion, and
his course since the settlement of the
vexed question will go far toward max
ing him the prominent candidate.

How 10 "Rreale Up, string Hens.

AT this season of the year the sitting
ens--noticeably of the Asiatic varieties
have laid out their second or third
Filters of eggs, and for the second time
this season they have become persistently
"broody
Many devices for breaking these fowls
up have been tried. And most of the
attempts to do this prove failures with
the determined Cochins and Brahmas.
We have in late years found but one
way that his can be done efectually.
And this is by far the most humane and
certain method we can advise.
A watchful eye should be kept upon
these laying hens and pullets every day,
as they approach this term of natural
broodiness. And the first evening you
tiud one upon the nest (when she should
be upon the roost) is the time when you
should commence to break her up.
Look out for the next one now. There
will be plenty Of them at this season.
And as soon as No. shows the sitting
inclination remove her as promptly. The
two hens may be put together. They
will help to "cure" each other of the
broody fever. Watch for No. 3 now
and so on to the end. You will have
little trouble with them Feed them
lightly. Give them plenty of fresh
water to drink. Keep them away entirely
out of sight of the nests, and they will
shortly get over their broody fit. This
lie our plan for breaking up hens that we
do not wish to use as sitters.-Poultry

The Gold That " ears.

We parted one eve at the garden gate
When the dew was on the heather,
And promised my love to come back to her
Ere the pleasant autumn weather.
That We twain might wed
When the leaves were red,
And live and love together,
She cut me tress from her nut-brown hair
As kissed her lips of cherry,
And gave her a ring of the old-time gold,
AS clear and blue
As her eyes We're true
Sweet eyes so bright and merry!
"The wealth of my love is all have
To give YOU" she said Ia turning;
"The gold that wears-like the radiant stars
Iny0nder blue vault burningv'
And ltol the trust,
As mortal must,
' Whose soul for love is yearning.
Fate kept us apart for many years,
And the blue sea rolled between us,
Though kissed each day the nut-brown tress
And made fresh VOWS to Venus
Till l sought my bride,
And Fate detied,
That had failed from love to wean us,
found nv love at the garden gate
When The dew was on the heather,
And We twain were wed at the little kirk
In the pleasant autumn weather,
And the gold that wears
Now soothrs my cares,
As We live and love together.
