TooMss ON JEFF. DAVIS.
"Davis Hadn't the Courage" to Set
the Slaves Free.

Bob Toombs, Of Georgia, was recently
interviewed by the editor of the Macon
Telegraph. The following is an extract
from what he said:
81 was the secretary of state, and, as
such, was endeavoring to secure recog-
milton by foreign powers, and it was l
who sent Yancey TO Europe for that
purpose. Both France and England
were ready to recognize us, but they OBJ
jected to slavery. l replied slavery
should not stand in the way of our re-
cognition. / then demanded the right
to issue proclamation of emancipation
freeing every slave by the stroke of the
pen, as it was finally done. Davis and
the cabinet neither had the sense nor
the nerve to take such a course. 1t
would have made the success of our
cause as certain as the sun will rise on
another day. Davis hadn't the courage.
The proclamation could have been for
gradual emancipation and then repudi-
ated, as Washington did the neutrality
treaty, If necessary. We had plenty of
precedents for such action. l would
have taken the responsibility, as secre-
tary of state, to have been allowed too,
but Davis wasn't a diplomat, neither
was he a statesman nor a soldier
There are many queer things about the
confederacy which have never been
told. These so-called histories don't
touch the bone. One of these days l
may conclude to write the interesting
facts. No, not L; but L will leave the
facts and documents for seme one to
write after [ am gone.
''In 1855 l had talked over this qucs-
ton of the abolition of slavery with Ma
poleon III. and with Gladstone and
Palmerston. / foresaw the war then,
and was preparing for it. Both Napo-
leon and the English government would
have recognized us in a moment but for
slavery, and knew 1t, but Davis stood
in my way OF meeting the objections of
the foreign powers as expressed to me
therefore l resigned. l knew that our
success depended upon such recogni-
ton. When L went TO Europe after the
war / was more than ever confirmed in
the wisdom of the policy would have
adopted. Yes, we had queer govern
ment. ! remember one day secret
agent of the English government step
ped up to me and said;
"'Mr. Secretary, where can find the
state Department.
"'In my hat, sir; and the archives in
my coat pocket And that was true,
too. We were doing business on a very
small scale at that time, and it naturally
seemed strange to the representatives OF
a great government that we hadn't y
pretentious building for our depart
ments."
"What do you think of Mr.. JEFF. Da-
Wis discussion of the constitutional
rights of states ?"
al do not care anything about Mr..
Davis discussions. What earthly use is
there in discussing questions that are
government after the war has destroyed
them? It's the sheerest nonsense, and
will have no earthly effect upon any
section of the country. Mr.. Davis
book may be bought or read, either from
a desire to do a charitable thing for the |
author or out of curiosity"

Was 1t a Pronhecy2

Bangor Commercial: The following
"prophecy" appeared in the Voice OF
Angels, ga semi-mOnthly journal, edit
ed and managed by spirits" but printed,
as it would appear from the date line at
the head of the copy before us, at North
Weymouth, Mass. The copy OF the pa
per in which this "prophecy" appeared,
is dated February l, 1880. The predic-
tion is as follows:
The year 1881 will come in with a de-
moralized country, a war in a foreign
country.
A president. will be assassinated in
that year.
Poverty and want will stare Ireland in
the face.
Commerce will be stopped. All na-
tions will mistrust one another.
Much blood will be shed for nothing.
Man will rise against man-brother
against brother. But such things needs
must come before we can come back in
new life. G.. WASHINGTON.

Climate for Oonsumptives

Some fifteen years ago we pub
lished an article on the subject of
localities of consumption. The
general idea for which we contended
was this, that warm climates hasten
consumption; that an inseparable
attendant of consumption, under all
circumstanpes, was debility. The
healthiest of US feel the debilitatlng
effects of summer heats. And how
an invalid is to be strengthened by
what debilitates healthy man, we
cannot understand. Consumptive
people do not need the warm, damp,
vapor-laden atmosphere of Cuba
and Florida, but the cold. dry, still
air of high latitudes. A man in
consumption will more certainly
get well in Greenland than in the
West Indies.
From the details furnished from
many sources, a member of the
Massachusetts Medical Society has
prepared a paper, conclusive of the
fact that all low a1d damp places
originate and aggravate cOnsump
tive diseases, and that restoration
and exemption must be found in
cool and dry latitgdes. And for
similar reasons sea voyages and sea
coast and lake shore and prairie
localities have pernicious effect
upon all persons whose lungs are
diseased.-Hall's Journal of Health.

Facts About Editors.

When you write to an editor,
send a three cent stamp. 1t will
be great curiosity 60 him.
Editors are slippery fellows,
They have an unrivaled facility for
slipping out of the back door just
after publication day.
An editors veracity will do to
gamble on. He never lies, except
for a consideration, or in the plain
discharge of his duties.
Never ask an editor to drink, no
less you have good credit or an ex-
ira dime. You might cause him
a painful disappointment.
When an editors hair scales of
and the top Of his head begins to
look like the skin side of a COW
hide, attribute it to wisdom-not
wife.
An editor never steals. He al
ways gives full credit, and he don't
write SEX" after an article. There
are a number of brainless scalawags
in the profession who pass for edi-
tors and who steal, but they don't
have the pure ring.
When you shake hands with an
editor don't squeeze his fingers too
hard, for they may be covered with
valuable diamond rings.
When you owe an editor a dol
lar don't pay him, tor the shock
might be too great for his nervous
system.
When you visit an office mix the
EDITORS exchanges; he has plenty
of time to straighten them. Steal
them if you want to; he will not
need them. Besides it is fashion
able

"onlY A Brakeman Killed" /"

"Only br brlkemsn killed?' lisped
needless and heartless creature
At the depot the other day, when
the news came in that poor fellow
had fallen under the monster iron
wheels on the hard ribs of iron and
his poor body literally torn to
shreds, strewing the rail with the
flesh and bones Of a man who a
moment before was in the very Wig
or of health and life. Tired and
sleepy from overWork and loss Of
proper rest, he sat down on the
brake at the rear end of the car,
and while drifting into a semi stu
por, the cars in passing over n
rough place in the track had jos
tied him off, whirling him under
the ponderous wheels, crushing the
life spark with their monstrous
weight.
"Only a brakeman killedP'
Yes; be was no prince or king or
czai. Only poor brakeman. But
the life-current flowed just as warm
in his bosom as in the breast Of
the lordliest potentate. He was no
railroad magnate, or he would not
have been sitting, worn and weary,
on that brake when that fatal mo
inent came. But he had a ready
hand for honest toll, and N its
palm carried his life as a thing 10
be sacrificed without moments
warning while filing an humble
and yet honorable station in life.
Every hard labOrer fills an impor-
tant station. Gold is not 10 be
compared with the work performed
by these humble individuals in NOV
ing the commerce Of a mighty ma
ton.
"Only a brakeman killed."
And yet some poor mother or
sister is this Saturday night wait
ing in some far land for tidings
from the young man who left home
for the great west with bright hopes
OF accommodating something TO make
that mothers declining years com
Portable and happy. There will
be a household bsthed in tears
when the news of his hard and sud
den death reaches that home; and
those tears will be just as bitter SIS

pie and linen in gilded palace sur

The sun Cholera Medicine.

New York journal of Commerce
More than twenty years ago, when it
was found that prevention of cholera
was easier than cure, a prescription
drawn up by eminent doctors was pub
lished in the Sun, and it took the name
of the Sun cholera medicine.
Our contemporary never lent its
name to better article. We have seen
it in constant use for nearly two score
years, and found it to be the best rem
edy for looseness Of the bowels ever yet
devised.
No one who has this by him, and
takes is in time, will ever have the
cholera.
We commend it to all our friends.
Even when no cholera is anticipated, it
is an excellent remedy for ordinary
summer complaints, collie, diarrhea,
dysentery, etc.
Take equal parts of tincture of cay
enne pepper, tincture OF opium, tine
ture Of rhubarb, essence OF peppermint
and spirits of camphor. Mix we'll.
Dose, fifteen 10 thirty drops in little
cold water, according to age aud vio-
lence OF symptoms, repeated every
twenty minutes until relief is obtained.

He OYerIooked 1t.

Nose Schmaumberg has been to
New York to buy goods. When he
left he asked his friend Googenheim-
er to keep an eye on his store, see
that everything went on smoothly
and overlook what the clerks did
during his absence.
On his return Googenheimer re-
ported everything straight, but
Schmaumberg found, on examina
ton, that his head clerk had been
drunk all the time he had been gone,
and that the fascinations of crack
Joe for the drinks had prevented
the other clerks from devoting any
of their time to business. He
hunted up Googenheimer and said {:
"Vy you not tells ME dot mine
CLERKS vas blaying de duyvell putty
vell?'
81 tells you nodings about dot, I"
said Googenheimer, because you
dold me to overlook vat dem CLERKS
did ven you vas gone yet, so | over
looked all dot foolishness." - Texas

Providing for Daughters.

The Housekesper: The way Of hap
piness and comfort for single middle
aged women would be much easier if a
different method was pursued by parents
toward their daughters while they are
still young. Nothing, of course, can
recompense woman for the loss in her
lite of the love of husband and children,
but there is no reason why, added to this
bitterness, she should always have the
humiliation dependence. Half the
terrors OF a single life of woman lie in
the fact that she will never haYe home
of her own, but must remain depend
ent on father and brothers; the one
too many in the household; the bene-
ficiary on sufferance in the family,
though she works twice as much as the
actual members. A father naturally
sets his boy on his own feet at coming
of age, but as naturally keeps his
daughter dependent on himself. 1t is
a pleasure, perhaps, to him to give her
gowns and pin money at 30 as when
she was 3. He does not reflect that she
has the longing, equally natural to
every man and woman, to take her own
place in the world, to be rooted plant,
not a parasite. The difficulty is easily
solved. If the father is wealthy, let him
settle absolutely upon his daughter,
when she is OF marrying age, the
amount he would have given her as a
dover, instead of doling out the inter-
est as constant gifts; II he is a poor
man, let him give her some trade or Oc-
cupation by which she can earn her own
money. This course would obviate the
mercenary necessity of marriage which
rises night and day before the penniless,
deDendent women.

Saving Nj anure.

A young man, Is years of age,
who has been his fathers main help
IN cultivating an eighty acre farm,
said: Our principal business this
summer has been the saving of ma
nure, one item of which has been
to supply bedding for eight calves
that were kept under a shed du-
ring the entire summer Earl
in the season sAWdust was used dai-
ly in sufficient quantities to absorb
the liquids and keep the calves dry,
and later dry earth, leaves or any
thing which could be obtained most
readily. In the fall thirty-one
horse cart loads of manure were
drawn from this shed. Since ma
nure is the one article most needed
on a farm, the farmer never should
cease laying plans for making it,
and, If successful, he may look for
large returns in produce. - Ex
One method Of curing a balky
horse is to take him from the wagon
and whirl him around rapidly until
be is giddy. Itrequires two men to
do this. Do not let him step out,
but hold him to the smallest pos
sible circle. One dose will often
cure, and two doses are said TO be
enough for the worst horse that
ever refused to stir. Another plan
is to fill the horses mouth with dirt
or gravel, the philosophy being
that IL gives him something else to
think about.

BE HaDDY.

1t is the easiest thing in the world
to be happy, if men and women
could only think so. Happiness is
another name for love-for where
love exists in a household there
happiness must also exist, even
though it has poverty for its close
compaaion; where love exists not.
even though 1t be in palace, happi-
ness can never Come. He was a
cold and selfish being who origi-
mated the saying that "when poverty
comes in at the door love flies out
of the window" and his assertion
proves conclusively that he had no
knowledge of love, for unquestion-
ably the reverse of the axiom
quoted is nearer the truth. When
poverty comes in at the door, love-
true love-is more than ever in
clined TO tarry and do battle with
an enemy. Let those who imagine
miserable, before they
find fault with their surrounding,
search in their hearts for the cause
A few KIND words, a little iorbear-
ance, or q kiss, will open the way to
a food OF sunshine in house
darkened by the clouds of discOrd
and unSmiabillJy.

Through smiles and joy and sunshine,
Through days with beauty ripe;
When absent from each other,

The Abbe and the Penitent


In the reign of Louis XIV, certain
brilliant able was one of q large party
who had assembled round the royal sup
portable. There were clever takers,
sharp dealers in epigram, skillful ban
diers of compliment and repartee. One
lady, famous for her wit, being asked
to name the three sights that gave her
the greatest pleasure, replied: "a
great general on war-horse, a great
preacher on a platform, and a great
thief on a gallows." The abbe added
to the mirth of the evening by telling
the adventures of gay and memora-
BILE career. 81 remember" he said,
every well the first penitent that came
to my confessional. l was young then,
and little accustomed to hear the Sc
crets of court life. 1t was murderer
who told me the secret of his crime"
The able was pressed to tell the tale, or
to give a clew to the culprit; but he
kept guarded and wary silence.
Presently in came one OF the most
trusty of the kings favorites. "Ah, NJ.
rAbbe,n he said, recognizing an old
friend gentlemen, was the first pen
itent whom the able ever shrived, and
L promise you, when L told him my
story, he heard what astonished him "
That night the nobleman was carried
to the BastiIe, and the evidence Of a
crime, committed thirty years before,
was complete, and the culprit detected.
