sion and his justification for it. The
rest of the work is devoted to a narrative
OF the struggle, with comment so sparing
that it barely throws light on the motives

AS to the history of the efforts made

show that he did all that an honorable
leader of brave and devoted men could
do to secure peace. Upon this point the
discussion provoked by Mr.. Davis book
will develop something new.

A correspondent of the Louisville
Courier Journal writes: Several years
ago / was coming from Poughkeepsie by
boat, and we stopped at Cornwall to take
aboard the gentlemen who went early to
business in New York. Instead of the
usual number there were q great many
people who rushed aboard in various
stages of indignation and disgust 1t
was a perfect exodus, and we soon
learned the cause. The night before,
lightbread was set in a Cornwall board,

came and all retired-all, at least, save
pet kitten, who prowled about and got
into The pantry. and, finding the pan of
bread, lay down thereon, and went
quietly to sleep. The dough yielded
gradually, and slowly but surely the kit
ten was engulfed, the batter closing over
and leaving no sign. When morning
came the bread was brought in hot.
Imagine the scene-all the boarders seat

broken open. They left in body"

The dress cap for regimental officers
and enlisted men in our army is to give
way to spiked helmets, not unlike, in
general shape, those which Germany has
made famous. Field officers, and all
officers of mounted troops and of the
Signal Corps, are TO wear instead of the
spike a plume of buffalo hair, white for
infantry, yellow for cavalry, and red for
artillery. The ornaments on the he'll
NETS of the enlisted men will indicate

ton, for example-infantry, crossed
rifles; artillery, crossed cannon; ord

officers may wear light cork helmet,
with ventilator instead Of spike. So
military fashions change from age to
age. Presently this new, or rather an
Gent, fashion Of helmets will give way

The Ohelisk In Position.

AS already mentioned, the Alexandria
obelisk was placed over pedestal in
Central Park, New York, Saturday, be-
tween five and ten thousand people
witnessing the operation. The monolith
is to be lowered eight inches
before it fairly rests on the pedes-
tai. When at an angle of As degrees
work was suspended for minute. and
an enterprising photographer succeeded
in taking picture of the stone in that
position. The height of the obelisk
from base to tip is SO feet and 2 inches.
It's base is 7 feet and 81 inches square
through its axis; its top is 5 feet 2 inch
es; its weight is 2194 tons. The height
of the pedestal is feet II inches; at the
base it is 0 feet and 3 inches square, and
at the top feet and inch square. Its
weight is 40 tons. The height of the
foundation is 4 feet 10 inches. It is II
feet inches square at the bottom and IL
feet 81 inches at the top. Its weight is
87a tons.

The use of baby carriages is depreca-
ted by Dr. Henry Fl. Smith, of Philadel-
phia. He says that a child who is
carried in arms is being constantly trained
In balancing its head and shoulders, and
that such infants are sooner able to sit
alone and creep or walk more vigorously
than those who in the continued supine
posture of the baby carriage fail to re-
ceive their muscular exercise. There is
also increased appetite, with improved
digestion and nutrition. One of the
evils liable 10 ensue from the constant
use of the baby carriage is the Earring and
conclusion of the delicate brain and
spinal cord of the infant created by
bouncing the carriage over cutters or up
and down the curbstoncs. This evil,
DR.. Smith contends, is quite as serious
to the infant as the conclusion of the
spine, the result of railroad travel, is 10

of the child being easily impressed by

The raid on shoddy butter in the Ohio
Legislature has taken an amusing fea'
ture. By a bill just introduced it is pro-
posed to make any landlord or boarding
house keeper liable to fine of ten dol
lars and ten days imprisonment who does
not inform his guests of the composition
of the butter he sets before them. This
is rather hard on the hotel and boarding

THE FISHERY FRAUDS. 1t is said that
additional discoveries have been made
with reference to the charges of Prof
Hind of falsifcations in the Canadian
fishery statistics. 1t is now charged that
the atistics of the Canadian fish exports
were deliberately falsifed for the 20
years from 1850 to 1876, in order to OBJ
tain greater money consideration from
the United States. If these charges are
satisfactorily established to be true, Con.
gress will undoubtedly take some action.

HOW HE WORKS.

In the centre of the room stands O
large table, on which Mr.. Davis writes
or dictates. He writes great deal him
self, but occasionally dietates-always to
a long-handsd writer. Major w. t.
Walthall began as Secretary, but Judge
Tenney, editor of AppletOn's EncycIO
p0dta, and General Joe Davis, his ne
phew, have been with him for the past
wear. General Marcus Wright, who has
charge Of the Confederate archives at
Washington, has been in almost con-
slant correspondence with Dir. Davis,
has had thousands OF original docu-
mems copied from the archives, and has
spent some weeks at BeauvOir.
WILL TT BE BROAD OR PERSONAL?
| find a very general fear throughout
the South that Mr.. Davis will let his in
tolerant spirit get the better of him, and
that what should be an impartial history
will become vehicle of personal opin-
ions and prejudices. Your correspond
ent talked with Mr.. Davis upon this
point when the work was about half
completed. In reply to the question as
to whether or not the book would be
personal and aggressive. Mr. Davis
laughed and said:
'sThey say when people get old they
become spiteful, but think | understand
and appreciate thoroughly the character
of my undertaking. The antagonisms
bred in the Confederate administration
were so bitter, and, where Mr.. Davis
was concerned, were so personal and re-
lentless, that the book will necessarily
provoke many a controversy throughout
Southern political and military circles.
Mr.. Davis enjoys the rare advantage of
having before him as he writes the
special pleas of most of his antagonists.
THE CHIEF POINTS OF THE WORK.
The two most important points of the
work-for after all the constitutional
argument which will doubtless be fine,
became res GdjudicGtG after certain
fne morning at Appomattox-will be
the discussion of the peace movements
and the defense of the policy OF the
Davis administration as opposed to the
Stephens, Brown and Toombs policy.
The first is vastly the most important
point. History Is gradually settling
upon the head of Mr.. Davis the burden
of war protracted long after he was
assured that success was impossi-
BILE. It is said that General Lee
assured Mr.. Davis long before the
conclusion Of the war that lnevita-
BILE failure awaited the Confederate
arms. II Is even said that prior to the
first visit Of Mr.. Blair to Mr. Davis, Gen.
Lee had demonstrated to him the
