subject of war. 1t was Mr.. DAVIS
who gave Gen. Mcclellan his first
upward steps, and it was Mr.. Da-
Wis who appointed Gen. Meade to
the Lake Survey and was CRITICS
Cd sharply for his selection. He
believed that McClelan's campaign
against Richard, had he been per
mitted to carry it out as planned,
and received the hearty support Of
the war department, must have
resulted disastrously TO the con-
federates.
81 knew Mcclellan, Meade,
Humphrey and nearly all the fed
eral generals, said Mr.. Davis,
'and many of them were my pro
teges. Although they were fighting
my armies, [ could not resist a
feeling of pride in seeing so many
OF the young men | had helped ad-
vance winning fame and proving
all that had been predicted"
l asked INN to name the best
federal general, and he replied:
There were two-McClellan
and Meade. Mcclellan was d
grand engineer and & great gener-
81; Meade was a steady fighter,
and his movements We're more Of
an enigma to Lee than those of
any other federal general"
OLD ACQUAINTANCEs.
AS we talked Of this and that
names of generals, statesmen,
governors and government officials
came up, and many of them prov
ed to be old acquaintances Of Mr..
DAVIS, Ia years agone he and
Ben Butler wete on the Lest social
terms, and it was the anne with
several other present % vernors of
northern states, and with various
generals who won their laurels in
war. The ex-pre5ident had kind
word and a good wish for each
and every one, and he seemed to
believe that those who had made
their mark were entirely deserving
OF their success.
HIS CAPTURE.
In the state library at jackson,
Miss, is a crayon portrait Of Mr..
Davis as appeared when captured.
| asked him il it was correct and
he replied:
Il will tell you exactly how it
all occurred. | had laid down
without removing a garment I
had heavy calvary boots, panta-
looms tucked into the tops, a gray
blouse and a soft hat. Upon the
alarm being given I stepped oul
OF the tent and saw a federal cav
alryman thirty or forty feet away.
He ordered me to halt. At that
moment Mrs. Davis threw over
my shoulder a folded shawl. ]
saw that my only chance to escape
was to secure the horse Of the fed
eral. | advanced straight upon
him, feeling that he would fire
upon me, but believing that he
would miss his target. Had this
occurred there would have been q
struggle for the possession of the
horse. As | approached the sol
der he lowered his carbine as il
to shoot, and at the same moment
Mrs. Davis rushed UP and threw
her arms around me. The sol
dier hesitated a moment, turned
his weapon aside, and I walked
back to the fire and remained there
until made prisoner.
A LUNCH.
Two hours passed swiftly by as
we talked, but before permitting
me to depart Mr.. Davis ordered {
lunch and was a gain the host in
stead Of the historian. One who
takes him by the hand and look.
into his kind face must respec
him. One who sees his white
hairs and notes the evidences O.

The New York Sun, all in al, comes
as neal being . perfect newspaper as any
other in the world. II is, indeed, .
great journal. II 10 not without its
faults, however, the most serious of which
il the sometimes too harsh and ~autocratic
spirit manifested by Mr.. Dana, its chief
editor. That Mr.. Dana should grow to
be an ~autocrat is not singular. He has
talked to more people daily for years
than any other man in America. He has
talked with power. and it is not unlikely
that he has influenced more persons than
anybody else in American journalism.
Hence, being only human, it is not sur
prising that he has got spoiled" and
that he skicks" when he can't have his

ment. He has had some of his idols
broken recently, and he 10 in q pet. He
was . warm friend of Mr.. Hendrix, and
labored vigorously in the Sun to have
him elected Mayor of Brooklyn. Mr..
Hendrix was beaten, nevertheless, and
Mr.. Dana wrote just afterwards -
though the defeat Of his favorite was q
personal affront. After this he was
thrown profoundly into the dumps. and
showed, upon the defeat of Mr.. Randall
for the Speakership Of the House, that,
Notwithstanding all his great talent and
his general loyalty to the Democratic
party, he can descend to ''bellyaching"
with ~ little gracefulness as is shown by
the army Of journalistic pigmies. He
copies into the Sun complimentary arti-
cles in regard to Mr.. Carlisle, but shows
his prejudice against him by such
top-heads - 1--WE Hope So" and
1T May Be So" In Mr.. Carlisle's
election the Sun did suffer . disastrous
defeat, for, despite Mr.. Dana who has
been inveighing against such discussion,
it opens up the subject of tariff
reform and makes q pronounced issue of
it between the two parties. This is a
serious humiliation to the great editor
personally and . damaging blow to tie
Sun which loses in prestige directly in the
ratio of the number of mistakes it makes
in in its Judgment on public questions.
Still, with these considerations to extern.
aate the weakness of Mr.. Dana and
with whatever others he may have in
mind, we could not have regarded him
90 weak Is he shows himself to be. That
he should have so far lost his humor OF
his sense IS to assert that the Democrats,
for making an issue of the tariff. can de-
pend upon only two States in the Union,
Kentucky and South Carolina, in the
Presidential election Of 1854, wa not to
have been expected of him under any
circumstances whatever. If he is moi
more careful he may lose his influence
entirely. If he persists in his ill-hu.
mored and groundless assertions as in.
timated he viii certainly forfeit the re.
spect Of the rank and file of his own
party. while the possibility of sympathy
for him in his rawlings from the Rspubli'
can party il out Of the question. He is
agreat advocate Of harmony and party
discipline. He had better come back te
his own prscepts without delay and give
. practical illustration Of his teaching
by his own example.

A Bridal Couple Doused.

A newly married pair, who arriv :
ed on their honeymoon trip at a eel
brated Scotch watering place when
accommodation was at g. premium,
had mattress spread for them by a
compassionate inn keeper in one of
his bath rooms. In the middle of
the night the house was alarmed by
loud shrieks proceeding from the
nuptial chamber. What was the
matter? Well, this: The young
bride, wishing to ring for a servant,
had caught hold ofwhat she suppos-
ed to be the bell rope and pulled it
sharply. Unhappily:.for her and her
spouse it was the cord of the show
er bath over their heads, and forth
with down plunged such a deluge OF
cold water as would throw a dam
per upon the most devoted honey
making couples. Her husband. in
dismay, caught .frantically at anoth-
er cord on his side of the extempor-
lied couch, but the only response
was an equally liberal deluge of wa
ter, this time nearly boiling hot.
The unhappy pair then screamed
in unison. When the servants came
they found the floor of the room
flooded with water, and the wife
was perched like monkey on her
husbands back uttering the most
lamentable cries, while her good
man was fumbling about in the
dark trying his best to find the
door.

When to Marry.

At what age should young women
marry?
This is an interesting question,
the answer to which depends on cir
cumstances. For instance, no girl
should wed until she gets husband
worth having, no matter how old
she may be before then. 1t is better
for her to stay single all her life
than to have her heart broken by a
dissolute man? Again, no maiden
should plight her troth at the altar
until she has made herself fit to be
wife by mastering the art of con-
ducting home. Thirdly, no dam
sci should deck herself with orange
blossoms if neither she nor her suitor
has the means of living, for while
love in a cottage is very sweet in
romances, the old saying that, ''when
poverty comes in at the door love
flies out at the window" is often
verified.
But, these considerations accept
ed, how old should a young woman
be before entering wedlock? Or
course, in this matter, no rule can
be laid down to which exceptions
should not be allowed, for some
girls are sooner adapted for matri-
monv than others. Generally, all
of them are in too big a hurry to
change their names. Children in
their teens have their beaux, and
too many of them get yoked for life
before they have sense enough tc
know what they are doing. They
read in stories of the happy ending'
of the heroines' trials, and they
think that when they, too, get mar
ried, all their troubles will end an(
their days will pass in peace anC
felicity forevermore. They msrT,
| in haste and repent at leisure
They are too young. Even whel
their husbands are kind men AM
true Christians, and even whel
Providence bestows on them
sufficient income, they speedily as
certain that they entered the wedde
state too prematurely. They brea
down. They grow delicate. The
