The Davis Family.
Baltimore Gazette.

Mr. Jefferson Davis outlived all of his
sons, and when he dies the family name
will become extinct His oldest son,
Jefferson Davis, jr., who died near
Memphis not long since of yellow fever,
had scarcely passed his twenty-frst
birthday, and though he did not inherit
the intellectual ability OF his father, he
was young man of considerable prom
Use. 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,
and was stricken down with che fever
When his wife heard of it, she insisted
upon going to him, and young JEFF
accompanied bis sister. Before the
husband was conyslescent tbs wife was
attacked. Young Davis nursed his
sister through her illness, and in few
DAYS she became the nurse and be the
patient. -Four days later he died Ia
1864, while Mr.. Davis was President Of
the Confederacy, he returned 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 left but an hour or
two before, the picture of health. The
child was but five years of age, and
during the absence of the family fell
from rear balcony to a paved yard
beneath and crushed his skull. He lived
but a short while. This boy, Joseph,
was the most intelligent of the family,
and special favorite with all the great
men who in those days frequented his
fathers house. He was bright boy,
and the whole city of Richmond
mourned his death. Willie, the young
est son of Jefferson Davis, was born in
Richmond during the war, and died but
when three or four years of age. There
are now left but two children, both girls.
The Oldest, Maggie, was married about
two years ago, and it was while caring for
her that young JEFF met the terrible
destroyer. Miss Winnie, the ether
daughter, is still at school.

Did He Know?
lions Herald

The dog, in the opinion of many close
and really scientific observers, stands first
among the whole brute creation in intel
ligence, or rather in that part of intel
ligence which comes under the head of
association Of ideas. We know that a
well-born puppy, that is, dog coming
from good stock, can be taught many
wonderful tricks, most of which, how
ever, can be performed automatically, or
without any process of reasoning. In
occasional instances we are forced into
the belief that there must be a clear
intellectual comprehension of the ideas
under consideration at any rate, some
thing more intellectual than instinct,
as commonly interpreted.
In the following instance, vouched
for by gentleman of unimpeachable
integrity, did the dog know what he
was doing, or was he simply following
out sn Initiative instinctH 2" This dog
was of the purest Newfoundland ex-
traction, and exceedingly faithful and
aaectionate. It so happened that the
house where this gentleman lived was
visited by a woman whom the host sus-
pected of dishonesty. One day she
entered when he was all ready for
fishing excursion, and was about to
leave the house with his pocket-book,
containing considerable money, lying
loose upon the library table. Hastily
bethinking himself, he returned to the
apartment, and, seizing the purse,
threw it to the dog, saying, Take care
of that, Carlo snd walked out If the
house.
A few days afterward the same woman
called, and, as it happened. the same
POCKET beck was lying in the same place.
AS she entered the brsry, Carlo rose
from rug, walked with dignity to the
table, picked up the treasure, and de-
libersteIy approached her with it be-
tween his teeth. Then he gave low,
ominous growl, and stretched himself
before her, never once taking his eyes
off her face; nor could she move that
he did MT follow her step by step.
Now, did the dog perfectly understand
the case, and if he did, was il by
process of reasoning?

Thirty Indians in Chains.
St. LouI. Correspondence Enquirer.

St. LoHis Correspondence Enquirer
Thirty Indian convicts from North
western Texas Gu route for the Michigan
and Indiana penitentiaries, arrived at
ST. Louis latelyiand were locked up IN
the City Jail. They were under charge
of the authorities, who deemed it best
10 send them east for ssfeskeeping. They
are SIS hard and desperate looking a
crowd as ever entered the portals Of our
strongly barred Jail, both in personal ap-
pearance and wearing apparel.
They are the scum of the lowest Of the
low class of Indians, and look cunning,
mean and desperate enough to be guilty
OF any crime. The hardest citizen of
this lot is Ka-La-Lula, or in English,
the Bald-faced Eagle. He is charged
with scalping and making away with
two families of ten persons on the from
tier. His partner in the crime is named
the Bloody Buffalo, is tall, well-formed
red skin, with dark, treacherous eye,
and teeth as white IS snow, which he
grinds with rage as the chains around
his limbs clsnk and rattle against the
brick door.
Another one of the lot is Calacah, or
Young Man Afraid of-His- Shadow. He
is pointed out as one of the most desper-
ate of the lot, half dozen charges OF
murder being entered against his worth
less carcass.
The youngest and best-loeking of the
conEicts is a tall, well-built, handsome
savage, twenty years of age, and MEM
Der of the UmatilIa tribe, known as
Acoehita, or the Great Unknown. He
IS charged with the killing of a man in
4 fight at Fort Worth, and has been
sentenced to twenty years in the State
All seemed crazy with rage at being
Kept in such close confinement, and the
gentlemen who have them in charge
nave anything but pleasant duty to
perform.
Captain Conway, the jsilor, states that
their keepers stopped over a day in St.
Louis for the purpose of obtaining rest,
Il they have been travelling for week,
and in that time could not close their
eyes IN sleep for fear of the redskins get
ing the best of them.
They are guilty of nearly every crime
IN the calendar, and are known in the
West as terribly desperate cases. The
of them are to be put in the
State penitentiary at Jacksonville, Ind,
and the balance 10 go to the Jackson
.AIich.l state prison.

What a Rogue.

Our youngest child seemed to have
vague, indefinite fear of rogues, and
very imperfect idea of what a rogue
might be, and was always asking ques-
tiens on the subject. One morning,
while his nurse was dressing him, Iheard
him Inquire: GLOW big is a rogue,
Betty? Can he hear mile?p Before
she could reply his brother, very little
older, rose to explain: ''Why, Bob,
you've seen many a rogue. A rogue is
thes man. Papa an Uncle Bob looks
exactly like other rogues" SIS papa an
Unkel Bob like other roguesl' asked the
youngest with innocent wonder. sNo,

filed his eyes with soap. "Yo' papa an
yo' Uncle Borb is jes' as ornes' as any
body, cos rogue is folks what steals an

Signs of weather.

Dew is q sign of fine weather. and is
never seen except under a cloudless sky.
Wind and clouds are sure preventives
of dew, from the simple reason that
clouds are able to retain some of the So
lar sheat; and, as they can give forth
warmth, the radiation from the earth is
checked, and a warmer temperature pre-
served. Wind evaporates the moisture
as fast as it appears; and if the wind is
westerly, there is little dew or clouds to
be seen. The contrary is observed with
an easterly wind, but west wind blows
over vast expanse of land, and having
lost its vapor, dries up any moisture it
may come across whereas an east wind,
crossing the Atlantic, is full of vapor
aud sheds dews on all sides. These re-
marks, of course, apply chiefly to par
ticular localities, but the influence of
west wind may be seen in the spring.
Dew is more copiously deposited in
pring and autumn than in summer, as
there is usually q great difference in
those seasons between the temperature
of day and night; in the spring, how
ever, there is a small deposit of dew
when vast wind prevails; but in au-
tumn, during the soft influences of the
south and west winds, the earth is COW
cred with moisture. It has also been
observed that there is great formation
of dew between sunset and midnight.
