Still Mourning.

A correspondent of the Mil. Republic
can writing from New Orleans gives the
following description of JEFF Davis at a
meeting held in that city: The speeches
of necessity, were brief. Mr. Davis,
now IS years of age, has many personal
attractions He is very affective
speaker His words were heard with
breathless attention, at times loudly APP
plauded. He dwelt with peculiar ten
delness upon the confederate heroes.
When at one point, referring to the re-
bellion, he said, "As for me, could have
known all that was TO transpire, all that
my people have suffered, all that was to
be inflicted upon me, such was the sac
redness and justice of our cause, that ]
would have done it over and over again
the vast audience, with one voice, in the
most tumultuous manner expressed its
approval. That for time appeared
like secession scene. But later in the
evening, DR.. Palmer, Gen. Johnston.
and Rabbi Ginlhi, in equally emphatic
terms, expressed devotion to the Union,
and were in like manner applauded
Hence, it is evident that while the
Southern people, in some sense, accept
the present probably as the
inevitable result of the war-they are
yet too proud to acknowledge even the
error of secession.

|. A season that will well merit the
designation of cool to cold and wet,
generally. Not that there will not be
terms of summer warmth and even in
tense heat for periods, but, rather, that
these last will appear in the retrospect

as the exceptions to the general rule.
2. The season will be marked by not
only great precipitation, but 10y mug
giness of atmosphere generally, caused
by the reeking condition of the earth
and the long continuance of clouded
sky This will result in periods of ex-
treme sultriess and heavy weather,
during which the thunder and hail
storms will occur In other words, the
Summer will be the reverse of clear and
dry.
). There is a likelihood of June and
August frosts in Northern, Western
and Southern sections, and general
cold wave may occur toward midsum-
mer.
4. The Autumn months will continue
moist. September will probably give
rains and floods in Western Canada and
in western and southern sections of the
United States. October will be much
the same, with early cold and snow
falls. November will begin the Winter
of lSS2-S3-a Winter likely to be MEM
orable on account of its exceptionally
heavy snow-falls and very cold wealth

That "a cold and wet summer is invari-
ably followed by cold and stormy
Winter, is truth now so well proven
and borne out by the testimony Of past
records that we ca4uot lightly put it
aside; and if we have good and suflic-
lent grounds for predicting the former

AYERS CATHARTIC PILLS are the best
of all purgatives for family use. They
are the product of long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation, and
their extensive use, by physicians in
their practice, and by all civilized ma
tons, proves them the best and most
cfectual purgative Pill that medical
science can devise. Being purely veg
ctable no harm can arise from their
use, and being sugar-coated, they are
pleasant to take. In intrinsic value
and curative powers no other Pills
can be compared with them; and every
person, knowing their virtues, will
employ them, when needed. They
keep the system in perfect order, and
maintain i'll healthy action the whole
machinery of life. Mild, searching and
cffectual, they are especially adapted
to the needs of the digestive apparatus,
arrangements of which they prevent

The Origin Of a Crayat.

The Steinkirk cravat which ladies
wore last season and will wear again,
lightly tied and knotted on the bosom,
takes its name from the battle of Stein
kirk. when the French cavaliers. in
haste for the fray, without staying to tie
their cravats, carclessly threw them
round their necks and passed the ends
through button-hole. From that time
Steinkirks were the fashion, men pass
ing the laced ends through a button-hole
and women securing them by a slender
brooch, the original of our lace pins
