Death Of Major Jno. r. Davis.

Last Monday, Odd inst, Maj. John
r. Davis died at the residence Of his
son-in-law, Gov. A. S, Marks near
Winchester. Deceased was born in
Wilson county, Tenn, on the 22d of
September, 1920, and was educated at
Princeton, KY, and Lebanon, Tenn.
He was engaged in agriculture up to the
beginning of the war. In 1890 and
81 he represented Wilson county in the
Legislature. In 1861 he entered the
army as Captain Of company in
Starnes' regiment Of cavalry. In 1862
he took command of a battalion Of cav
airy, with the rank Of Major, and con-
tinued in active service until in 1868,
when his health broke down, and from
that time until his death his health re-
NAMED prccarious.
Major Davis was member Of the
Cumberland Presbyterian Church from
his boyhood, and an elder in that
church for number Of years, He had
not been citizen Of this county very
long, but our first acquaintance with
him was in Georgia in the year 1863,
and We ever found him a genial, intelli-
gent, honorable gentleman. He leaves
friends wherever he was known.
We regret to loarn that Mr.. John T.
Mann, of Bluff Springs, Travis county,
Texas, met with q serious accident some
two weeks since. He was running n
steam cotton-gin, and his right arm ac-
cdcntally was caught in such manner
that it was terribly mangled. Amputa-
ton was necessary. Mr.. Mann moved
from this county few years ago with
his family, and he has many relatives
and friends here who will regret to hear
of his misfortune.

England can boast one editor at least who
might be trusted to run a country newspaper
in the United States.
In his youth Sir Richard Phillips edited
and published paper at Leicester, England,
called I6e Herald. One day an article ap-
peared in it, headed ''Dutch Mail" and added
to it was an announcement that it had arriv-
ed too late for translation, and had so been
set up and printed in the original. This
wondrous article drove half England crazy,
and for years the best Dutch scholars squab-
bled and pored over it without being able to
arrive at any idea of what it meant.
This famous Clutch MALI was in reality
merely a column of 'pi."
''Pi," it may as well be explained, is
tumble of odd letters gathered up and set on
end SO as to save their faces from being
scraped, to be distributed at the leisure of
the printers, in their proper places. Some
letters are upside down, often ten or twelve
consonants or as many vowels come together,
and the whole is peppered with punctuations,
dashes and SO on, till it might pass for poe
try by lunatic ChocGaw. The story Sir
Richard tells of the particular 'tpi' he had
whole hand in is this:
Zone evening, before one of our publica-
tions, my men and boy overturned two or
three columns of the paper in type. We had
TO get reAoy some way 1or the coaches,
which, at in the morning, required 400 or
500 papers. After every exertion we were
short nearly a column, but there stood on
the galleys a tempting column of 'pi'. 1t sud-
denly struck me that this might be thought
Dutch. I made up the column, overcame
the scruples of the foreman and so away the
country edition went with its pathological
puzzle to worry the honest agricultural read
er's head. There was plenty of time to set
I'D a column of plain English for the local
edition.
Sir Richard tells of one man whom he met
in Nottingham, who for thirty eight years
preserved copy of The Leicester Herald,
hoping that some day the letter would be ex-
planned.

Garibaldi sent his sharpshooters in, but with
all the haste they could make they found that
Sir John had already engaged the enemy! AS
we have said, he had declared war against
Austria, and was fighting on his own hook.
Not only was he fighting on his own hook,
but he fought after his own fashion. He
stood erect without any cover, and paid no
more attention to the balls that whistled
about his tall form than if they were mosqui-
toes. He took aim as quietly as if he had
been out hunting, fired, lowered his gun,
took his field-glass to see the effect of his
shot, made negative or approving move
ment of his head as he was discontented or
satisfied, loaded again, took aim, fred, look
ed through his field glass, and again showed
his disappointment or satisfaction with a
shake of his head. The enemy in retreat and

to pay any attention to him. But as Garibal-
di loved brave men above everything, he
walked up to the Engiishman one day, in the
midst of heavy fire, and said: ''Sir John,
let me congratulate you. You are brave
man" II know it, said the Englishman.
'And more, you are my friend" 'Ah!
that, said Sir John, 81 did not know, and 1
am infinitely grateful to you. But excuse me
one moment; there is devil of an Austrian

John put his rife to his shoulder and the
Austrian for whom he had taken fancy, shot
in the heart, took step forward and fell on
his face. Sir John took his glass, examined
his Austrian, made little gesture of satisfac-
tion, and, turning to the General, said as he
held out his hand, Good morning, General,
hope you feel well to-day ?" From that
day on, Sir John Peard was never called any
thing but tsCIaribaldi's Enplishman -

THE MAYORS MESSAGE.


The messages of Mayor Bigelow have one
great merit which is too often, in fact almost
always, lacking in such documents, namely,
brevity. He says what he has to say plainly
and with few words.
In his message delivered last evening he
says he accepted the duties of his Office with
a desire to conduct the affairs of the city
economically. He has done SO. His admin
istration has been just what was needed. Suf-
fcient improvements have been made during
1t, but there has been no extravagant expen-
diture to burden the taxpayers. During his
term of Office the city's debt has been de-
creased 1878, 739 13, and the financial outlook
s cheerful
The message gives concise account of the
work of the various departments during the
past year, and proper credit is given to each.
A good word is spoken for the East Rock
park, the Derby railroad and the breakwater,
and the message closes with some kindly sem
tences
Mr.. Bigelow's record as Mayor is a good,
satisfactory one. He has made similar rec
ord in all the other offices he has filed, and
we believe he will perform the duties of the
high Office he is about to assume in a manner
that will satisfy the people of the State and
do him credit.

The italian Minister of War is anxious to
have every italian thoroughly trained in rifle
practice His plan is to organize committees
in all the chief districts and commands COM
posed of the syndic and the commandant,
who will then form establishments for shoot
ing and draw arms and ammunition from the
government, paying the actual costs only. As
soon as a sufficient number of persons have
enrolled themselves society will be formed
for target practice, with committee, one
member of which must be an officer. The
pupils in all the secondary schools are to be
taught shooting conjointly with gymnastics
and the manual exercise and the same study
will be obligatory in the lycees, the pupils
of which will march to the practice ground
in military formation. No youth will be able
to become fsone-year volunteer without
passing through the courses of shooting for
two years, and even men who have passed
forty years of age, and are therefore no
longer liable to military service, will be urged
to qualify in rife practice.

pressed with the dangers of Socialism. In

Gently said: 'gThe danger for that and other

proper precautionary measures be taken to
avert it the consequences may be deplorable.
Should the injury to life and property to be
apprehended from these societies actually en-
sue, in a single instance, their suppression all

They should be permitted to meet, and or
ganize, and theorize as much as they please,
but they should not be permitted to arm and
drill for the avowed purpose of forcing their
theories on others at the point of the bayo-

dream of attempting anything of the kind
