JEFF Davis's Plantation.

Washington Letter in Augusta tGa.) Chronicle.
Some curiosity has been revived recently con-
corning the reported purchase of Jefferson
Daviss plantation by negro. l briefly cor
rected it week ago, and am now able to give
some particulars of the whole affair, My in
formant is near relation of the ex-Presdent.
1t seems that Gen. Joe Davis had a slave named
childhood and early boyhood that the General
made him a special pet. Ben was a pure
booded negro, but manifestly of a high
type. He had woody hair but his features
we've as classical as those of an ancient
Roman. His master not only humored him in
all things, but had him taught in the best man
ner. He was sent to France and instructed
most extensively. His chief accomplishments
were those of language and mathematics He
spoke several foreign tongues with elegance, and
wrote them accurately. He understood integral
calculus. and was something of an astronomer,
but possessed not one spark of the inventive or
creative faculty which seems to be the dividing
gulf between the Typical negro and the white

plantations for 100000. Payment was to be
m ade on the easiest possible terIcS but failure
was the result from the very start and General
Davis released Ben from his bargain He is
now in the West, engaged in commercial pur-
suits and doing reasonably well. He is a re-
markable phenomenal, exceptional, and most
worthy black man, but he does not own the

ours, The clatter and the clamor, the din and
noise is but reflex of the sorely pressed systems
and internal contests going on abroad. AS in
the case of our war of the rebellion, as the end
comes nearer honest, though misguided,
people appear in our midst They
seek to apply correct rule in the abrtract,
to abnormal conditions-that free trade is the
international law of the Almighty" But the de-
endowed with certain inalienable rights, must
face to look into this question.
Buff the discussion must be confined toinciden-
tai coralaries, superficial and purely selfish con
siderations, still the argument is strong against
free trade. Let those who care to go no further
into the question than this, get copy of the late
research on the tariff question just published by
order of Congress Let such take the periods of
comparative free trade in this country and look
at the disparity between our exports and imports
how much more we bought than we sold-how
much less We produced in manufactures and,
finally, what rate of interest the government was
paying on money borrowed at the end of the last
of these free-trade escapades. Even the surface
bristles with warnings that ought to challenge
all except purely theorists who despise practical
facts and will have none of them.
And, finally, the hundreds of thousands OF
skilled and unskilled laborers, who annually
flow here from abroad to better their condition,
and who never return, may stand as a palpable
and practical answer to all the theories of the
school doctrinares and their free trade followers
and advocates.
No one flies from a good thing never to return.

IRvING's IMPRESSIONS.
The Immensely of America Is What Particu-
IarIY Strikes the Actor.

Extract from Henry Irvings Impressions.
I'll tell you what strikes me most about Amer
ica-the immensity of work it has done in regard
up a new civilizations; providing for the comforts
the old world; taking care of them and governing
them; giving them a share of their wealth, and
welding the ineongruous mass into one great
people. 1 don't wonder that young men who
have only their honest hands and hopes as lega-
ces from parents come here to make homes and
names, to found families, and lay up for their old
age. 1t is wonderful country; the thought of
it almost inspires me with eloquence,
and 1 think on many a night it has
given me a new energy and new love for my
own work. l notice, by the papers, that some
English visitor has been writing in one of the
English periodicals what is called "a slashing
criticism on American habits ard customs and
making unfair comparisons between the life
objects of men and women Of this great new
world and the older civilization of Europe
This sort of criticism can only be mere surface
work; it does not consider and weigh results: it
does not count how great q thing has been done
in a short time; it does not see how marvelously
successful this people has been in making law
unto itself a civilization unto itself, and how it
has not yet had time to rest and tack to its
great sweeping garments the fringes and ribbons
and Jewels that belong to age of rest and
luxury and art. They are but small critics, and
they are not respectfully conscious of the posi-
bilites of the close union between ENGLAND and
America, who discuss America in a petty way,
and do not give her the credit she deserves for
all she has done in the cause of freedom and
humanity.

He Wont Swimming.
Detroit Times.


The impulse carried out by the somnambulist
frequently originates in his waking moments,
and being thwarted reappears in an acted dream,
sometimes with ludcrous consequences. A boy
living near Plymouth was refused permission to
go in swimming and fretted over it as boys will,
but went to bed and to sleeps at the usual hour.
When he awoke in the morning he was entirely
naked and could not find his shirt anywhere.
The same thing occurred for five nights in
cession until the supply of shirts ran short, and
his father determined to watch him during
the night About II O'Clock he got out of bed,
climbed out of the window and set off
on run for neighboring mill pond. His
father followed him, saw him pull off his shirt
and stuff it into a hollow log and then plunge
into the water and swim around in great enjoy
ment for ten or fifteen minutes When he came
out of the water the father spoke to him but re
ceived no answer, and after giving the boy a
thorough examination, became convinced that he
was sound asecr He went home on r.

the lower one falling to within a few inches Of
the foot of the dress while the upper apron
reaches just below the knees. PoloEalses are
popular for sateens-the Fedora, with full front
and Marguerite back, and the panier polouaise
draped high on the hips, with full peated back,
are the favorite models. Sateens are still
trimmed with velvet, and not inflequentiy are
worn over skirt of velvet, or rather of plain
sateen faced to the knee with velvet in the same

The round full bodice of twenty years ago Is
revived and is almost universally becoming. II
is advisable in making this to adopt the plaa
pursued for boyss shirt waists and let the bodice
extend for three or four inches below the belt,

The Siberian Railway.
Pail Mall Gazette.

There seems to be at last fair prospect of
the construction Of the Siberian railway. Depu
tatons from the merchants of Kasan and Mini
Novgorod have recently arrived at st. Peters
burg to petition the Gar for the commencement
of the work Count lgnatief whom Russian
merchants regard as the future Minister of
State, is the spokesman of Populations. A look
at the map will show that the projected railway
is of the greatest Importance, commencing at
ane running over Kasan. Ekaterinenburg, and
over the Ural to Tyumen, at which place
it will tap the Irish, thereby bring
ing China into communication with Russia.
From Tyumen the line is proposed to he eventu-
and other large Siberian towns thus completely
opening Siberia to European traffic.
