Hark, from the Tomb

The tomb in which some people thought
they saw Mr.. Jefferson Davis quietly in
urned is about to ope its ponderous and
marble jaws to enable that distinguished
dissenter to revisit the glimpses of the
moon in the garb of an author. The
ghosts word will hardly command
thousand pounds in the market, for it is
to deal rather in opinions than in facts.
The book will be called "The Rise and
Fall Of the Confederate Government" 1t
will be the authors best effort at the vim
dication of the Lost Cause, and at tn e
same time defense of his own admins
tration of affairs as the head of the con-
federacy. That he will make any new
points in presenting the causes which led
to the rebellion seems improbable, in
view of the great ability with which the
States side against that of the Nation has
been presented for the past fifty years.
History will credit many of the Southern
leaders, and nearly all the Southern
masses, with having honestly believed in
the right of secession. and previous North
ern pusiflanimity will be regarded as hav-
ing furnished good grounds for the hope
that secession might be peaceably accom-
plished. The peace sneaks of the North,
who could not bear to see blood shed
when war was at hand, had previously
urged it on by promising to shed the
blood of any of their Northern neighbors
who should dare to defend the national
authority. The expectations of Mr.. Davis
in 1861 as to the active aid to be derived
from Northern sympathizers were about
as we'll founded as those of Louis Napo-
leon in 1S70-that the South German
States would help the French as against
Prussia. German unity was no more a
thing of the imagination prior to the
Franco-Prussian war than was American
nationality prior to the great rebellion,
and the American Union of to-day and
the German Empire equally owe their
existence and strength to the blows
which their respective enemies thought
would render them impossibilities. The
rebel chief and his lieutenants made an

the Dominion was represented The affair was
conducted on strictly temperance principles-a
somewhat unusual thing in Ottawa.
IT IS said that one of the ladies of Sarah
Bernhardts company has written letter to Paris,
in which she strikes back at those who have SIAN

by way Of compensation they have husbands-as
many as you Ike
TENNYsoN had his hair cut by Sauer-
vein, a London barber, the other day, and the
knight of the scissors made quite speculation by
disposing of the locks. One enterprising American
offered handsome sum for the entire crop, and en-

demands fora few hairs to work into rings and

CAMDEN PLACE, Chiselhurst, has had
many remarkable occupants, among whom may

Three Recipes TO Cure Cor.,..

!. Eathe the corn with strong D0raX water; then
shave it closely but be careful and do not make it
bleed. Place over the corn white felt corn plas-
ter and wear it constantly until the corn has dis
appeared Every night and morning wet the
small cavity overthe (and in the plaSter) with
little bOraX wafer, if preferable, the pulp of
lemon. The corn plaster can be obtained at any
druggists. , Keep the feet clean by frequent alb
lutiOns with warm water, and wear easy, soft
boots or shoes Without the latter precautiOn
will generally return even after they appear
to have been perfectly removed. 5. After soaking
the feet in warm water for a few minutes pare the
corns as close as possible with sharp knife TAX
ing care not to make them bleed. Place upon the
part affected small. circular piece of leather
buckskin spread with some cnOllient plaster and
having hole in the centre corresponding to the
size of the cOrns. They may now be touched with
nitric acid, by means of small glass rod or wood
toothpick, due care being taken not TO allow the
liquid TO come i'll contact with the neighb0ring
parts. Repeat this process daily until the offender
be sufficiently sOftened to admit of removal
