MIR. JEFFERSON DAvIs's LEGAcY-A
Contest Begun in Earnesf.-The con-
test over the will by which the late
Sarah A. Dorsey, of Beauvoir, Miss,
left to Mr.. Jefferson Davis her entire
estate, has begun in earnest, and dur
ing the early days of next month the
argument in the United States Circuit
Court of Louisiana will be heard and a
decision asked. Some weeks ago GER
tain relatives of Mrs. Dorsey filed a
complaint, complaining that the tesla
trix did not possess testamentary capac-
ity, and that she was unduly Influenced,
coupled with an application to Set the
will aside as unjust to the next Of kin
aud also as being opposed TO pubic
policy. To this Breaux, Fenner and
Hull, an eminent New Orleans law
firm, as attorneys for Mr.. Davis, have
filed demurrer, because the allegations
in the complaint care inconsistent with
the claim that the testatrjx was of I'M
sound mind or was uLduly influenced
10 making her WILL and therefore the
complaint does not state facts sufficient
to constitute a cause for action" The
last part of the demurrer is interpreted
by the counsel of the next of kin to re-
fer to that part of the complaint which
sets forth that it was opposed TO public
policy 10 admit the will TO probate.
1t will be remembered that Mrs. Dor
sey laid particular stress upon the fact
that in her Judgment Mr.. Davis had re-
ceiyed no reward for fighting for his
country-meaning the Confederate
S,ates-and that, all his patriotic seryi-
ces going without recognition, she de-
sired him to own and enjoy her rich
estate. Counsel for compliments will
take the ground that Mrs. Dorseys be-
quest is a reward for treason and pre-
mum npon, aud hence opposed to the
spirit and text Of the constitution. The
amount involved is about $4,000.

The following prediction has TO some

extent been VERIFIED
Henry G. Vennor, of the Geological
Survey of Canada, writing from Montre-
al, makes predictions Of the weather
that is yet TO form part of the present
winter, and which, he says, may extend
over the northern portion of the United
States. One of the heaviest snow falls
Of the winter is likely 10 come upon us
on the % or Sd Of February, and oc.
casion deep drifts and railroad blockades.
Following this Immediately, cold snap
will set in of considerable severity, last
ing four or more days. Next will come
a period of mildness, even warmth with
rain and slush up TO about the 18th or
10th. The 10th will give us the second
heavy snow fall of the month, with
drifts again, and another railroad BLOCK
ace. Between the goth and 25th the
second cold term will probably set in,
and this bids fair to be very severe, and
occasion some very low thermometer
readings. Thus, with the exception OF
one considerable thaw in this month,
February will be an exceedingly wintry
month. The 18th and DIST of March
will again give heavy snow falls, and ii
is propable that in this month we will
have more snow than at any time pre-
vions during the winter.

Acor,rraL OF Mrs SMITH AND Co.

AcoUITrAL OF Mrs SMITH AND Co
VERT BENNEr-The trial of Mrs. Jennie
r. Smith and Covert ID. Bennett at
Jersey City, n. j., charged with the
murder of the husband OF the former,
terminated Saturday afternoon in the
acquittal of she accused. The jury was
out but a few minutes, and it is said
were unanimous for acquittal on the
first ballot. 1t will be recoilected that
the accused were convicted some time
ago of murder in the first degree, but
counsel succeeded in securing a new
trial after hard struggle. Much sym
nathy was elected in the case of Mrs.
smith, and Miss Emma Abbot, the OPP
cratic singer, was among those most &C
tive in securing the funds necessary to
carry the case up to the Supreme Court.
Or the second trial counsel for the ac-
cused declined to introduce any testimo-
ny, taking the ground that the State
had failed to make out a case, and the
New York World thinks the acquitttal
was the result of the hold tactics of the
defense. 1t is odd, however, that one
jury should have convicted on the same
evidence on which a second jury has
acquitted.

EUREKA SPRINGS.

EUREKA SPRINGo.
We have heard numerous inqulr-
les lately in regard to the Eureka
Springs, of this state, which are iaS'
gaining notoriety as q health resort,
and for the benefit OF those OF our
readers who wish to know something
of the place and the merits OF lis
waters, we publish the following,
written by DR.. !. o. Peacock, OF
CIarksviIle, who recently visited the
Springs, and furnished a description
of what he saw to his county paper;
Eureka Springs is situated IN the
northwest corner of Carroll county,
Arkansas, in section 10, township zV,
range 26 west.
Tbe Springs are situated in very
rough country, being surrounded BY
pine hills. At present there are
about 1900 inhabitants and loUU Wis
TORS All kinds of business IS rep
resented there. There is an immense
coneourse of people streaming IN
there from both north and south,
and think that by the first OF July
next there will be at least lO,OVV
souls on the grounds. Every one
seems to be pleased, and some re,
markable cures have been performed
bv the waters. There are two no.
tells in full blast at present, besides
numerous boarding houSes-board
ranging from So so to So per week.
Mr.. Iovd of Neosho, Mo-, is con
structing large four story MOTEL
which will be in operation IN about
four weeks from this date. 1t VIII
be a credit to the place and equal to
anv IN the state. A company from
Kansas City is ALSO constructing an
other large hotel, which will be open
bv the middle Of April.
| saw quite a number of citizens
Of Little Rock Some were seeking
health from the life giving waters,
and others we're looking out tor spec
uIations, and all seemed to be well
nleased. Lots in the town, that two
weeks ago could be bought ior SD
are now worth $50; lumber is worth
from Is cents to 81 per hundred Tee
and you can get ca arpenters at from
81 to 81 90 per day.
III had had time | could nave
procured hundreds of Testimonials
of remarkable cures performed by
the waters. Sufficient to say that /
do not think that they have been
oyerrated IN any respect, and l would
advise every one who is afflicted to
rive these remarkable waters trial,
feeling that they will be more thar
grateful to an AlIwise Providence,
who has vouchsafed, in His great
mercy, to give the poor suffering
humanity these waters, which are
free to all.
Below | give an analysis of the
Eureka water, as made by Prot. Z. b.
Waite. of Missouri: Small quantities
OF lime and magnesia, with iron, as
bicarbonates, and traces Of the chic
ride of potassa and soda, with min
ute trace of sulphuric acid.
There is one thing | neglected to
state, which is, that the waters are
not beneficial to consumpuVes, ana
I would advise all who are afflicted
with that disease to stay away.
The Springs are situated upon
government land and memorial
has been forwarded to the Secretary
of the Interior, requesting him, tor
the sake Of suffering humanity, to
withhold it from entry, so that 1t
shall ever remain a free spring to
the people Of the United States.

Indians appear to get all the whisky they

The Stephens Bros, of Camp Baker, who
have been riding among their herd, estimate
having sustained loss of about two per cent
during the past winter.
The acreage farmed on this valley this

but, be the yield ever so good the valley will
fall short OF producing supply of more than
one-half.

A SOUTHERN WAR STORY.
The Remarkable Fate OF Four boy :
Whose Lives Ran Together.

In 1858 four gentlemen entered their sons
at boarding school at Cokesbury, S. c. They
had been for years intimate friends and cler-
gymen in the Methodist Church. These boys
remained at this school, room-mates, and class
mates, and entered Wolford College. standiI. g

large class. They remained at this institution
four years, were roommateS all the time,
graduating relatively first, second, third and
fourth. They then entered law Office at
Spartanburg and studied law under the same
chancellor. The war broke out, and al the
call for troops they entered Jenkins rife reg
iment from South Carolina and were mess
mates in the same company. Being near the
same height they stood together as comrades
in battle i'll this regiment. At the second
battle Ct Manassas, August, 1864, shell from
the cucmy'S batteries fell in the ranks of this
company, killed these four boys and none
other in the company. They are buried on

same grave. Their names were Capers, Nc

the sons of Bishop Capers, Rev. Drs. Nc
