THAT recent interview with Gen
eral Bob Toombs has brought to
light several facts in connection
with the secret history of the late
Confederacy. AS regards the we'll
known differen ces between himself
and Mr.. Davis, and the principal
causes which led to them, General
Toombs says: -f
81 was the secretary of state, and
as such, was endeavoring to secure
recognition by foreign powers,
and it was / that sent Yancey to Eu-
rope for that purpose. Both France
and England were ready to recog-
nize us, but they objected to slavery.
i Ireplied that slavery should not
stand in the way of our recognition.
/ then demanded the right to issue
q proclamation of emancipation,
freeing every slave by the stroke of
the pen, as il was finally done. 1t
would have made the success of our
cause as certainly as the sun will rise
on another day. Davis had not the
courage. The proclamation could
have been for gradual emancipation,
and then repudiated, as Washing
ton did the neutrality treaty, if nee
essary. We had plenty of prece-
dents for such action. would have
taken the responsibility, and ought,
as secretary of state, to have been
allowed to, but Davis was not di-
plomat, neither was he a statesman
or soldier"

DIR, JOHN CUMMING, it has been
announced, died few days ago in
London. He was not many years
ago known as one of the strongest
of living pulpit orators, and his reli-
gious works have been published
and eagerly read by hundreds OF
thousands of people in all portions
of the civilized world. DR.. Cum
ming was pastor of a Free Scotch
church in London, and attained his
first popularity by delivering a
course of lectures on the Apocalypse.
He was positive that the millennium
would commence in 1856, and many
Christians accepted his views. lie
wrote and preached continually
against the Roman Catholic church,
and one of his most interesting con-
troversies was with Bishop Colenso,
of Natal, on the subject of Penta-
teuch. His incessant preaching,
lecturing and writing told some
what disastrously upon his mind
and for senAc years, in conse-
quence, but little has been
heard of him, and during this period
he has been undergoing a gradual
decline. Though fine pulpit ora
tor, and always drawing about him
vast audiences, he was more acted
as writer, there being charrH TO
his compositions which won him
hosts OF admirers and not few
believers. -.r

On TILE day when Garfield's
condition was most serious and
threatening, when the bulletin @no
hope" had been telegraphed far and
wide over the country, says the New
Orleans Democrat, a large delega-
tion of Readiusters arrived in Wash
ington and proposed that the presi-
dent should be consulted about
their campaign in the Old Dominion
and an Endorsement of their ticket
secured from him. This request
was peremptorily refused, with the
somewhat severe remark that this
was no time to be worrying the pres
ident with their petty affairs. In no
wise abashed by the reproof, the
Readjusters turned to Blaine and
demanded that he, as secretary of
state and head of the cabinet, should
recognize them by placing some
members of their party in office.
Here, too, they met with bad luck.
for Blaine politely declined to at
tend to such matters just then, and
the disappointed Mahoneites were
compelled to- travel home again
without the least token Of app r'oival
or endorsement.

THERE is at present a great horse

the horse -fanciers are some of the

close editorial duties produced bad
health, and his physicians advised
him to buy horse and take an
hours drive each day. He bought
a good one, and soon his rising am
bition in the horse line led him to
pay $4,000 for the fastest team
of the day. This (Which took place
in 1859 was, however, only the be-
ginning, and Bonner has now a half
million invested in horse-fesh, and
has paid $4,000 for one animal. He
has a very extensive stable in the
city, the land alone being
worth. $4,000, but this is only for
home accommodation. The farm,

tention of aping Malone, by voting

writer, among the number, he has
most emphatically disclaimed the
truth of the canards circulated

MR.. 5. G. CHANDLER, of the CAM
bridge, Massachusetts, Observatory,
says that the comet, seen at Rio de
Janeiro about the first of June, is
the same one that has lately at
tracted so much attention in the
northern heavens. The ephemeris
shows that the comet in moving
northwest and towards its peri
helion rose and set at about the
same time as the sun, and, of course,
could not be seen in this latitude
until it had reached a high northern
declination. When rising before or
setting after the sun it became
visible to the naked eye. AT the
time of its nearest approach to the
sun, about June l9, it was almost in
straight line between the earth and
the sun, and the earth must have pass
ed very near or possibly through
some portion of the comets tail. 1t is
hardly possible that it could have
been seen in the northern hemis-
phere before the 21st of June. The
comet is now within about eight de-
grees of the north pole of the heav-
ems, and it is probable that it will
continue to be circumpolar in our
latitude until its great distance from
the earth and sun renders it no lon
ger visible to the naked eve. The
first elements of the comets orbit
bore a striking resemblance to those
of the great comet of 1907, but it is
well-known now that the two comets
can not be Identical. After a few
months observations astronomers
will be able to tell whether or not
this comet has been seen during the
last two thousand years, il is stated.
For an immediate solution we would
beg the scientist to forego tedious
observations and calculations, and
refer the question for immediate So
luton to the scientific editor of the

assault with intent to kill, the pen
atty for which is Imprisonment and

the plea of insanity be made in his
behalf the result in either case is
