His oldest son, jefferson Davis,
jr., who died near Memphis the
other day of yellow fever, had
scarcely passed his twepty-first
birthday, and though he did not in
herit the intellectual ability of his
father, he was a young man of con.
siderable promise. Early in the
summer, and before the fever broke
out, young Davis went North with
his sister and her husband. The
latter returned for some purpose
aud was stricken down with the
fever. When the wife heard Of it
she insisted upon going to him, and
young JEFF accompanied his sister.
Before the husband was GONZALES

Davis nursed his sister through
her illness, and in a few days she
became the nurse and he the pa
tent. Four days later he died. IN

dent of the Confederacy, he re-
turned to his residence one day
from a short visit to the capitol,
and found, lying in one of the
halls, the dead body of his second
son, whom he had lett but an hour

boy, and the whole city of Rich
lnond mourned his death. Willie,
he youngest son of Jefferson Da-
Wis, was born in Richmond, during
the war, and died when but three or
years of age. There are now
left but two children, both girls.
