Ex-President Davis, BOOK.

The indications are that this work,
which has long been anticipated with
universal interest, will soon be published.
No definite time has been announced for
its appearance, but subscription books
containing specimens of its different
bindings. the introduction by its dis.
tinguished author, together with liberal
extracts from It's contents, and photo
graphs of the Confederate Cabinet and
prominent Southern Generals, have been
issued to canvassing agents. 1t isproba-
BILE. therefore, that it will certainly be
issued during the coming spring or early
summer.
We have seen a copy Of one Of these
specimen books, and it shows the work
to be Of exceeding value and absorbing
interest. One significant fact connected
with it very conclusively settles the po-
sition which it will occupy in discussing
the causes which led to our civil conflict.
1t will be embellished with fine portrait
of John G. Calhoun. which is indubita-
BILE evidence that its author plants him
self squarely and Enthusiastically upon the
doctrine of States Rights.
A lady from Richmond. Virginia, has
been given the agency for this book for
Savannah, and she will at once call upon
our citizens for subscriptions.

The War Between Garfield and
COnkliHg.

We are inclined 70 think with the
Nashville American that Garfield IL so
thoroughly enlisted in war with Conk-
ling that he cannot possibly withdraw
without destroying himself. He must,
says our contemporary, beat Conk-
ling or surrender, and yield all
hopes for q second term. Blaine has
srtfully entrapped him and thrust him
into conflict he would not have sought
himself, and now it matters little to
Blaine what the result may be. Either
way it is his gain. If Garfield is sue
oessful, he has arrsyed New York
against him; if he is defeated, he
loses prestige everywhere. 1t
is strange that he should have
allowed Blaine to dupe him into
such a contest. His own opinion was,
evidently. that having given Conkling
some appointment. he could afford to
cast bone to the other side and appoint
the New York Senator's bitterest enemy.
This seemed to him like compromise; it
looked like Cancellation and harmony; it
turned out to be, as Blaine knew it would
be, declaration of war. Conkling wants
no harmony which leaves his enemies
standing in his way. 1t is nothing to
him to have friends in Office and en-
joying power and spoils, if his enemies
are also left strong enough to annoy and
possibly to defeat him.

If there is any kind of Democrat, re-

obnoxious to the average Republican
than another, it is a repudiStor Demo
crat; and if there is a repudiator Demo

IT WILL NOT BE DULL.
A New Railway Scheme.

A dispatch from Fayetteville, N. c.,
to the New York Herald, says: "Quite a
ripple of excitement was created here
Friday by the appearance on our streets
of Mr.. L. W. Humphrey, former rail
road President of this State, VINO was
understood to represent Jay Gould, and
was said to be negotiating for the pur-
chase of the Fayetteville and Florence
Railroad. Rumor says that Gould pro.
poses to build road from Norfolk,
Va, via Fayetteville to Florence. Should
such road be contaminated it is said
this would give Gould the shortest and
most direct through railroad route from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, which line
will run through the whole cotton belt,
with direct outlet to Europe at
Norfolk. There is charter for the Fay
etteville and Norfolk Railroad, grading
on which was done eight or nine years
ago from Fayetteville to Shoe Heel, on
the Carolina Central Road Mr.. Nc
Kealhan, of this city, is the President of
the road. There is also a charter for a
road from Fayetteville to Goldsboro, and
another from thence to the Virginia
State line in the direction of and in an
air line with Norfolk. These two char
tiers were consolidated by the North Car
olina Legislature last winter Mr. Hum
phrey says that money has been raised
to build the road from Florence to the
Virginia line, but whether he really
represents Gould or has succeeded In
his negotiations has not been divulged. 4"

American Pecksniff, George F. Hoar, OF
Massachusetts,, was heavily sat upon

The st. Louis Globe Democrat, with a
modesty which should elicit the warmest
encomiums from the Chicago press, rises
to remark that;
at is conceded on all hands that St.
Louis is the proper place for the Worlds
Fair New York has failed already.
The only place in that city fit for such
an exhibition-Central Parks denied
to such uses by act an Of ths Legislature.
There is now talk of holding it in one of
the suburbs of New York, but to do so
would be to bespeak failure from the
start. Philadelphia is in no humor for
the enterprise. Chicago is not fit for it,
on account of location. st. Louis is the
place, not so much for her own sake as
for the sake of the country. We want
European visitors to see the great West
this they can only do by coming to ST..
Louis"

The Superstition About Draughts.

1n0 Superstition ABOUT UraugnGS.
Fireside comforts are almost insepara-
bic from the idea of an open fireplace,
and from hygienic standpoint, too, the
old fashioned chimney, or an open crate,
is far superior to closed stove. But it
should not be forgotten, writes Dr.
Oswald in the Popular Science Monthly,
that the operation of the chimney draught
alone is insufficient to correct the vita
ted air of a small room it merely creates
an outward current. An open window
completes the renoyating process; in cold
weather few minutes are sufficient to re.
vitalize the indoor atmosphere for couple
of hours. Only the blindest prejudice
can deny the pleasant effect of such an
influx of life-air; it revives the azotized
lungs as draught of cold water re-
freshes the parched palate. Colds are
never taken in that way. The very
name is misleading misnomer-
infection or influenza would be
the right word. Long exposure to
freezil g storm, in certain cases, induces
a true pleurltlc FEVER, very rare dHec-
ton, and entirely different from the only
too familiar catarrh. What we call
cold reimbursement, Erkaltung) is
caused by the influence of impure air, or
dust, on the sensitive tissue of our respi-
ratory organs; subsequent exposure to
the open air merely initiates the crisis of
the disorder. the discharge of the accu-
INFLATED mucus through the nose or
throat Fresh air is here only the
proximate cause, as in toothache, or in
those paroxysms of retching following
upon the first respiration of a halt
drowned person. If we postpone the
crisis by persistentlY avoiding the open
air, the unacceptable matter, instead of
being discharged, will be deposited in
the tissue of the lungs in the form of
tubercles.

great increase of late of suits for divorce

There is something of misnomer in
calling the course pursued by the Demo
Gratis of the Senate "ilibustering." The
fact is all the flibustering is by the Re
publican half of that body. who steadily
vote against every motion to proceed to
the consideration Of the very business
for which this extra session Of the Sen
ate was convened. The most scandalous
feature of the whole affair is that Vice
President Arthur, the constitutional pre-
siding officer of the Senate, is actively
aiding and abetting the flibustering,
using his full power to prevent the
transaction of the business for which
only President Garfield has kept tine
Senate in Washington.

and was at work in the field some dis
lance from his dwelling when he was
killed. The body was not found till
late at night. being then discovered by a
party of friends. whom his prolonged
absence had alarmed into investigating
the cause The scene which followed
when the corpse was carried home to
the wife and children of the murdered
man is reported as heartrending. The
dead planter was highly respected and
was not known to have an enemy, and
the motive which led to the tragedy is
therefore a mystery.

The alleged conditions OF the Grant
fund are very like those which wealthy
parents impose upon spendthrift chill
dren. He is to be paid the interest
earned by the fund and to have the
privilege of disposing of the principal
by will, but he is not to be allowed the
handling of the fund. In fact, the con.
ditions would be considered insulting by
the average man, but, as the subscribers
are especial friends of the ex-President,
they doubtless know what they are doing
and why they do it so peculiarly.

The ship Jerusalem, which sailed from
Gravesend two weeks ago for Mel
bourne, had on board an invention in
the shape of little boat four feet in
length, built on the principle of a life
boat. 1t carries a sail on which is a
Scripture text executed in phosphorus.
The idea is that when vessel is wreck
ed the fate of the ship might be written
down and the record deposited in a
despatch box on the deck of the little
boat and the craft committed to the
mercy of the waves. With a moderate
wind the boat will travel four or five
miles an hour. The Captain intended
