MIR. Jefferson Davis on the Late
BOne

The Cleveland (Ohio) Catholic Uni
verse quotes from personal letter to
its editor from Mr.. Jefferson Davis, the
following tribute t. Plus X:
II grieve with you over the decease
ofthe great and no bl, good Pho Mono.
In common with all who honor true piety
that which begets universal charity, /
feel the loss which the Christian world
has sustained in the departure of his
grand exemplar; but have personal OBJ
legations added TO the common cause for
mourning. You have mentioned many
characteristic acts Of that esublime man.
Let me add one. of which you might
not otherwise learp, for 1t was as private
ly as 1t was graciousiyl.done. When
our war was closed in the defeat of the
South, and / was iHcarcerated with
treatment the most needlessly rigorous
II not designedly CT uel; when the in ven
ton OF malignants was taxed to its ut
most to fabricate stories to defame and
degrade me in the Estimation of man
kind; when time servers at home, as
well as abroad joined in the cry with
which theignosle ever pursue tho VIC
tim, a voice came from afar to cheer
and console me in my solitary captivity.
The Holy Father sent to me his likeness, !,
and beneath 1t was written, by his own
hand,i the comforting invitation our
Lord gives to all who are oppressed, in
these words: 'Venitc dd me ones uui Ia
0ordtis, et ego refcidm UOS, dlcit DomifluS'
lltb chapter of st. Matthew, 18th verse:
Come unto me all ye that labor and are
heavy laden, and will give you rest"
That the inscription was autographic
was attested by 'Al Cardinal Barnabo,
ecember, 1866 under his seal.''

Conviction Ofa German Priest
of Murder.

PHILADELPHIA, March 21.-In a
Philadelphia court to-day Blasus Pts
torius, a German priest, was found guilty
of murder in the first degree, and now
awaits sentence of death. The crime of
which he was convicted was the killing
of Isaac Jaquette, Montgomery county
man. Pistorius came to this country in
1875, expecting to obtain the pastorate
OF church in the West. He stopped in
Montgomery county to visit brother,
who was carrying on farm. John Pts
torius's land adjoinedthat of Jaquette,
and dispute arose as to trespasses of
Jaquette's cows on Pistorlus's fields.
One day boy brough Jaquette's cows
to water, and was warned away in his
brothers. name by Blasius Pistorius,
who stood, pistol in hand, on the other
side of the stream.
The boy ran back and called Jaquette,
VINO came on the scene in great anger
and picked up two stones. Exactly
what occurred afterwards is not known,
J except that the pistol was discharged,
| the priest says, by accident, and Jaquette
fell mortally wounded, dying in a few
day afterward. Plstorius has been in
Jail since July "a, 1875.
/ The trial concluded 10 day, as report
ed above. The charge of the judge to
the jury was very untavorable to the
prisoner, and the jury, after being oul
four hours, brought in their verdict. The
prisoner gave way to violent excitement
and in loud voice reproached the court
/ his counsel, and all who had anything tc
do with his conviction.

A Bull's-Eye Shot at Hayes.
From Warwick McMichael's North Anne
rica,

Surely Mr.. Hayes and "the people of
the whole Union" cannot so soon forget
that the Returning Board refused to can
vass the returns from the Commissi oners
tally sheets, but did canvass them from
the consolidated statements. There has
been no stronger indication of bargain
of some sort than this strange decision
of the Supreme Court of Louisiana, and
1t seems quite as infamous as any in the
palmy days of the Warmoth-Kellogg
regimes.

A DILUVJAN EDITOR.

The RereiNe of Monday comes to US in
hoOGish way. There are evidences of its
prolonged soak on its edges, which are of the
color of the Yubs River at Marysville, and in
its vacant places, which would be white if
they weren't so yellowish We don't like to
exhibit too much feeling; but it is very sedi-
mental One wonders il the Mount Ararat
GAZETTE looked so, after the Noachian deluge.
In the meantime the editor of the ReueiiIe
looks upon his drenching and his 'Epi," his
mud-bath and his butf-colored newspaper with
the eye OF a philosopher. Having been
sluiced down through the Main street of
Austin and spread out to dry on the delta
OF the surging stream below, he picks himself
up and gives al account of his experience as
follows
When the cloud burst came Oh last Thurs
day, the editor of the RcreUc was down at
the international Hotel, but when the water
began to get deep on Main street, he made
tracks for the hills and watched the food
from affair." The other persons connected with
the Rereltte office were in the building when
the flood came, but all except the one who
escaped through the sky light after the build
ing fell got at the rear entrance before things
grew dangerous. Spectators looking at it
from the front naturally concluded that the
entire force was in the fallen building, and
when they saw the boy emerge from the sky
light they made sure the others were inside.
''Theyre all gone" exclaimed one man.
"Buily, said small boy, ''if the editors
gone we'll have gay funeral with what they
find of him. Another man Jumped up and
cracked his heels and shouted "hooray" and
said he never felt so happy in his life as when
he saw the RereiUe go under. We would
sacrifice forty ReceiUes to make one man hap
Ply. But woman, lovely, sympathizing woman
with trihing exception--felt sorry for the
ReUeiiIe'$ misfortune When, in a short time,
all hands but the editor turned up safe, the
ladies began to lament our supposed loss, and
INDUCED in such remarks as, "what a pity,
and he 80 young and fair, and he won't make
nice corpse at all, cause the boulders and
cordwood will black his eyes and set his nose
up" All this time we were sitting on rock
on high hill, listning to a woman tell about
i flood that once occurred that drowned out
everybody in the world but a man named
Noah and his family. We think the woman
he'd little, but her story was appropriate to
the occasion. When at last the water went
down and we wandered up town, we were
greeted as one risen from the dead, and learn
ed for the first time that we had been counted
among the missing Perhaps it's true that
those who are born to be hung Will never be
drowned.
