GRATITUDE will never be much of
an impedimeRt to the ambition of
the Sherman family. Here is Te-
cumseh growing with a very sore
head at the thought of being nomi-
nally outranked by the only man
who ever trusted him with an army,
while all his other superiors thought
he was crazy. while John after using
every big gun in Ohio as forlorn
hope to press him for week at
Chicago, rs the candidate for the
Presidency, coolly crowds the whole
posse one side, to secure for himself
the next best place he finds vacaDt'
resorting it is claimed, to the unfair
est advantage that it is possible for
a candidate for Office to take, threa!
of disrupting the party in a close
state if anybody blocks his way, and
forcing Garfield to haul off Foster
rather than to be embarrassed by his
claims to retain his place in the
Cabinet if he is not made Senator

AIBERT MAGEE and Thos.

ALBERT MAGEE and Thos. Perry
of Bradford, Pa, on the oath went
early in the morning TO torpedo
well north Of Bradford and finding
the nitro-glycerine was CONCEALED,
Magee placed the cans, containing
twenty seven pounds, in a tub OF
warm water to liquify it. No one
can tell how, but the compound ex-
plOded with terrific force. Magee
was torn into pieces, and his remains
scattered in every direction. An
arm, leg, his lungs and heart were
the largest portions of his body
found. Perry was some distance
away, but was thrown against a
building near by with great violence.
His hearing was destroyed and his
body badly bruised. The derrick
and engine house were reduced to
splinters. The conclusion broke
windows at distance of one mile.
Magee was a native of Ohio.

ALEX. MCCLURE has recently WIS.,
tied and interviewed Jefferson
Davis al his beautiful home in Mis-
sissippi. The reason why we call it
beautiful. is the fact that his dwell
iup stands in a forest of green live
oaks, richly-ladened orange trees,
and a proiusion of vines and fow-
ers. His interviewer describes him
as the same positive man in all his
convictions and purposes that made
him the leader Of causeless REBEL
lion. He well understands that he
cast the die for empire or for failure
that must make him an alien to his
country and the world, and that he
lost. aud he knows he is to-day the
most powerless of all men in the
land TO retrieve the fortunes of those
who followed him to bereavement
and sacrifice. He reads Alright the
inexorable Judgment that makes him
execrated for the confederacy,while
his equally guilty subordinates have
been welcomed to the fatted calf.
His interviewer says Mr.. Davis gave
him a cordial welcome to the prov
erbial hospitality of the south. He
confesses that he was disappointed
in the general appearance of the
man who stands in history as q
soldier and statesman without a
country. | expected to find the
strongly marked traces of griev-
ously disappointed life aud severe
civility and studied reticence in dis
cussing all things of the past; but
those who believe Mr.. Davis to be
misanthropic in temperament, and
embittered against the nation and
world, greatly misjudge him. Nor
is he a broken invalid, as is gener-
ally regarded. His step is elastic
and steady. He discussed many
mooted questions relative to the late
confederacy and said the reason why
Beauregard was ordered to fire on
Major Anderson in Fort SumPter
after his surrender, was given solely
because faith had been broken by
the Lincoln administration in at
tempting to reinforce Maj. Ander-
son, aud that the South needed no
war to solidify its people.

pied the position, and has a wide
knowledge of the men who can fill
cabinet places with ability and to
the good of the country. While he
is among the foremost Of Republi-
