PILLOW-CASE HOLDER.

An exchange objects tie the introduce
ton and general use of new invention
in the following fashion: Among the re-
cent inventions Is pillow-holder 1t is
explained that the pillow-holder is for
the purpose of holding pillow while the
pillow-case is being put on. We trust
this new invention will not come into
general use, as there is no sight more
beautiful to the eye Of man than to see
woman hold a pillow in her teeth,
while she manipulates the pillow case
over it. We do not say that woman is
beautiful with her mouth full of pillows.
No one can ever accuse us of that; but
there is something home-like and old.
fashioned about it that cannot be replaced
by any invention. We know that GER
tain over-fastidious women have long
clamored for some new method Of putting
on pillow-case, but these people have
either lost their teeth, or the new ones
they have bought do not grasp the situ-
alton. They have tried several new
methods, such as blowing the pillow.case
up, and trying to get the pillow in be-
fore the wind got out, and they have
tried to get the pillow in by rolling up
the pillow.case, but all these schemes
have their drawbacks. The old style Of
chewing one end of pillow, and holding
it the way retriever dog holds duck,
till the pillow.case is on, and then spank
ing the pillow couple Of times on each
side, is the best, and it gives the woman's
jaw about the only rest they get during
the day. If any invention drives this old
custom away from us, and we no more
see the matorns of the land with theil
hair full of feathers and their mouths full
of striped bed-ticking, we shall feel thai
one of the dearest Of our institutions ha'
been ruthlessly torn from us, and thu
fabrick Of our national supremacy has re
ceived a sad blow, and that our libertie
are in danger.

In his History of the Confederacy, Mr.
Jefferson Davis assaiied the ability and
action of some of the most prominent
public men of the South, and among
others, General Joseph +. Johnston, and
the General replied to the accusations,
as well as many of the Others. After the
first clap of thunder calm followed, and
all was serene, but General Johnston,
yet smarting under the sting cast at his
ability as a military man, breaks out
anew, and publicly accuses Mr.. Davis
with theft of two million and half of
dollars. In speaking of this matter, Gen
eral Johnston said 81 desired it to be
distributed among the soldiers, as they
had received no pay for months, and SO
wrote Davis, after he fed from Richmond
to Charlotte, but Mr.. Davis paid no at
tention to my suggestion. Colonel Paul
an eminent artillery officer of the Con-
federacy and now prominent lawyer Of
Richmond, man of high character, told
me he inspected the specie before its re-
moyal from Richmond and after it had
been loaded for transportation. He said
there was a carload of it, As he only
saw it in boxes ready for shipment. he
could of course give no information as to
the amount in dollars and cents. The
money followed or preceded the head of
the civil government of the Confederacy to
the South about the time Mr. Davis went
in that direction. General Beauregard,
however, was in immediate command at
Greensboro while Mr. Davis was there,
and doubtless had an opportunity of
knowing more accurately the amount of
money with the President than most any
one except his immediate political friends.
He told me he was convinced President
Davis had 50, 500, 900 in specie at Green's
boro. l have no doubt General Beaure-
CARDS estimate was within bounds. AZ
ter Mr.. Davis left Charlotte and moved
South, Confederate officer told me, that
while standing near bridge, crossing of a
small creek man rode up and inspected
it. He said he was in charge of the
Presidents money and wanted to see
whether the bridge was safe Or not. The
man in charge told the officer he had
twenty wagon-loads of specie. This would
be in perfect harmony with Col. Paul's
statement that there was a carload when
it left Richmond, and with Gen. Beaure.
CARDS that there was S2,500,0OO at
Greensboro Mr.. Davis has never given
any satisfactory account, to my knowl.
edge, of what has become of the money!
The public will anxiously await Mr..
Davis answer to these charges Mr..
Davis probably wishes that he had been
more dircreet in compiling his history.

Frank f. Marvin, of Chicago, became
enamored of the attractive Widow Dowl-
ing, who refused to marry him. He went
to her last Friday and said: 81 am tired
of waiting for your answer. Tell me you
will marry me Or l will swallow this
poison" tapping the package which he
held in the palm of one of his hands. The
lady laughed at him, surprising that he
was joking with her, but when in a
solemn and determined tone he said,
"Once for all, be my wife, Or I die right
here" she became alarmed, but said,
No, it is impossible" Without further
parley Marvin swallowed the poison and
flung himself on the bed to die. Doctors
were summoned in vain. The most dis
tressing fact in this case is that Mrs.
Bowling wished to marry him, but re-
fused because he was the only support
of his mother and sisters.

the Interior holds that there can be no
such thing as contest before the Land
Department as between two mining
claimants for the same tract of land, such
claims, being adverse, can only be adjudi-
Gated in the courts. This is very wise
decision, considering that it is merely a
repetition of the plain letter of the law
and is fully understood by nearly every
claim owner and prospector in the coun-
try, and has been the practice in all such
cases.
