Johnston Contradicts Davis.
The Posts Washington cores
pondent telegraphs as follows: Gen.
Joseph E. Johnston tells me day
in reference to the disparaging
statements which JEFF Davis has
made in his (Davis') recent book,
that he has not seen the book yet,
but only such extracts as some of
the newspapers have published, as
we'll as the report of Gem Sherman's
remarks in Hartford. He said he
did not think that when be came to
read the book he should feel it
necessary to make any public state
ment in contradiction of anything
that Davis might say regarding him.
He did not believe Davis could or
would say anything rejecting on
his personal character. He, how
ever, was quite willing to make such
hasty and informal denial of Davis
statement as brief interview would
allow. .ate
In the first place, in regard to the
charge that he ought, after the vic
tory of Bull Run, to have taken his
army into Washington, he said that
that came of the hue and cry raised
in the south little after the battle.
Davis knew very well that it was
impossible for him to have done it,
because there was a river a mile
wide which it was necessary to
cross before the city could have
been taken. This was so palpable
a fact that the idea entered neither
his head nor that of Beauregard
and if Davis thought OF it, he said
nothing Of it in the forty hours he
was at Manassas. In addition to
this, the confederate army was in c
shape to undertake such a task
The mass of the confederate army
supposed the war had ended witt
that battle, and were disorganized
In regard to another charge-tha
he had yielded the command tC
Gen. Beauregard-Gen. Johnston
characterized it as absolutely false
and added that if Davis had mad,
such a statement, he made on,
which he must have known was in
correct.
Touching the charge that he hat
violated Davis orders and refuseC
to invade East Tennessee, he said h
did receive such orders, and at
time when it was absolutely impos
sible to execute them. He was il

100000 men, and orders required

Z he would have prevented the eXecu
tion of this plan. Johnston in
formed his superiors that the onll
way o invade the lost Tennessee
was first to receive Sherman's at
tack in the neighborhood of Atlanta
defeat him, and then undertake tn
invasion. He moved his ARM
toward Atlanta, prepared for battle

The excess Of our exports over

The excess of our exports over
imports is expressed in the fact
that in two years the United States
has accumulated $30O,000,0OO In
gold and silver. The surplus earn
ings deposited in banks was over
$50, 100000 besides the wild and i'm
moderate investments in railroads
ana industries that run up in hun
dreds of millions. 1t seems that
the basis of this prosperity is the
excess ofexports. As long as that
remains so, how can a crash Gomez
There were never known such gi-
gantic times before. 1t is almost
above enumeration or conjecture
or imagira alton. We may be upon
the ragged edge of volcano and
not know it; and on the other hand,
the tornado upon which the coun-
try inriding may be the natural and
permanent acceleration of the spec
ulatiye trade winds.

A Sensational soana

Pittsburg special to the Cinein-
natl Commercial: A pathetic and
exciting incident occurred at a
funeral here Sunday. Robert j.
Smith, jewe.er, died Friday, and
9mong the carriages which drove
TO the house OF the dead, yesterday,
was one containing the wife OF The
deceased. She had forfeited all
claims to be called his wife by reason
Of her unfaithtulness. About six
months ago he was divorced tom
her. Since the dateso OF the separa-
tion she has been an attractive To-
mate of disreputable house. AS
she was about 10 enter her iormer
home a member of the family
slammed the door in her face. The
remains we're removed TO the church,
where the erripg wife was allowed
to enter, but not go near the casket.
During the sad services she burst
into tears, and exclaimed frequently,
MY husband! Oh, my hnsbandi"
There was no one near her while
she wept bitterly, aud was conscious
that she was regarded as an often
sive intruder. After the services
the woman moved frantically toward
the coffin and was within few feet
Of it when brother OF the decease
threw his arms over the glass fac"
and prevented her from looking in
remarking: $50 back Keep awayh
You cannot see himr'
The officiating clergyman mo-
toned her TO leave, and said, "Go
away! You have no right to see
him, and you shall not see him"
The woman made a desperate
effort TO get TO the coffin, scream
ing: "Oh, my God Imust see my
husband; stand aside. l will see
him in spite OF you; / will see him."
The mother OF the deceased
ordered her to leave; and her
daughter shouted. "sLay away you
ruined my brother, and you cannot
look at him."
While the widest confusion pre-
vailed in the church the lid was
fastened to its place, and the frantic
woman crowded and showed toward
the pulpit. Her carriage followed
at the end of the cortege, and at the
grave ia the cemetery she made
most touching appeals TO those who
uperintended the rites TO allow her
Just one glance at the face Of the
man she had learned TO love, hut to
whom, 1t was claimed, she had also
oeen the occasion OF so much
domestic infelicity.
| The saddest chapter of the mourn
full narrative remains yet TO be re-
lated. The impressive ceremonies
had been rendered AT the grave, the
coffin had been lowered INTO thS
earth, the minister had said, "Dusi
TO dust and ashes TO ashes" whil,
a spadeiul OF ciods had been dropped
on the lid OF the coffin. Friends il
their carriages had deserted tb,
place and the grave diggers had
begun to fill in the earth, when the
lTecreant wife ran and looked la

Nusery RHYMES,


Many of these productions, says
an English paper, have a very
curious history, if it could only be
traced. Some of them probably
owe their origin to names distin
guished in our literature, as Oliver
Goldsmith, for instance, is believed
in his earlier days to have written
such compositions. DIR. E f. Rim
bault gives us the following partic-
ulars of some well-known favorites
"Sing a Song a Sixpence" is as old
as the sixteenth century. "Three
Blind Mice" is found in a music
book dated 1909. "The Frog and
the Mouse" was licensed 1880.
"Three Children Sliding on the Ice"
dates from 1859. London Bridge
is Broken Down" is OF unfathomable
antiquity. "Boys and Girls come

HOW Sam Soion Fired a Gun.

Colonel Solon's boy Sam traded

Jem jerks for the latter's old army
musket. Sam had never fred a
gun, bnt he had q notion how il

half a pound of powder in the
house, which Sam. poured down the
muzzle, then jammed down q whole
newspaper. and filed the remaining
space with chuniss Of lead which he
cut of from ihe dead pipe in the
kitchen with the butcher knife.
The cap was put in place, and
armed with this czar destroyer the
boy went forth in search of adven-
lures. Upon the roof of an adjein-
ing house were flock of doves,
and Sam rested his gun over the
fence, pointed the mpzzle in their
direction, and saying to himself,
ssThey won't know what hit 'em"
shut both eyes and pulled the
trigger.
For about half minute that
neighborhood was filled with feath-
ers, noise, chunks of doves meat,
pieces OF wood, boys yells and wo-

south side thought there had been
