Jeff Davis has been talking to
Northern visitors upon war topics.
His estimate of the Generals, Federal
and Confederate, is interesting. It
must be remembered that Davis
aspired to military lfonors himself,
that he interfered in several cam
paigns to the detriment of the "lost
cause" and that his administration
was embittered by prejudices, traces
of which appear in his recent state
ments. He spoke very fairly for
the ex-President of the C0nfederacy.
Grant, said he, was great military
man, but Meade was the most skill
fuI General in the Union army. He
was the only one who proved any,
thing like match in maneuvering
to Lee. Sherman was to the rebels
what Alaric was to the Romans, "a
scourge of God" He was cruel, vet
great strategist. Mcclellan was the
best trained soldier in the war. Sid.
ney Johnston, Davis declared, was
the greatest General on either side
during the war, and Lee came next.
Johnston was the superior of Lee at
offensive movements, and did not
have the complaisant nature which
led Lee into several bad campaigns.
Davis pays tribute to President
Lincoln. He says: abraham Lin
coin was great man-wise and hon
est-and his death was great loss to
the South. He understood the South,
and would have been of more benefit
to her than any other man could pos
sibly have done.-Eg.

DrunkeneSs Cured.

1t is generally presumed that when
man has been cured once of some
infirmity or complication of diseases
by the Use of our medicine, that he
knows good thing when he sees it.
1t is stated by those who know that
monkey cannot he induced to par
take a second time of any drink
which contains alcohol. 1t appears
as if the memory Of the pangs and
tOrtures first inflicted exert benefi-
cial influence upon the animal. Man
Is quite different in this regard, and
a glance about us will show that
numbers of our friends and neigh
bors are daily becoming the worse by
the use Of intOxicants. This can be
remedied by the moderate use of a
well known remedy called Perund.
If the medicine is taken daily. the
appetite for liquor will be finally re-
moved, and the patient, no matter
what his previous condition. will be
restored to sODriety and to society.
Yes. Per,mG is a great medicine, and
should be used by all. Send for it.

NUMBER Is
a Celebrated Running Sailor.

The pedestrian feats of the presen I
day are cast into the shade hy the
recorded exploits of Ernest Mensen,
Norwegian sailor in the English
Navy, early in the present century.
Mensen first attracted attention by
running from London to Portsmouth
IN nine hours, and soon after he ran
from London TO Liverpool in thirty
TWO hours. Having distinguished
himself at the Battle of NavarjDo. in
1927, he left the navy and became "A
professional runner. After winning
number of matches, he undertook
the feat of running from Paris TO
Moscow,
Starting from the Place Vendome
at four o'clock in the afternoon of
June IL. 1881. he entered the Krem-
I'M at ten O'Clock A. M. on June 25.
having accomplished the distance Of
l'76O miles in thirteen days and eigh-
teen hours. The employment of Men
sen asa courier extraordinary became
popular amusement in European
Courts. He ran from country to coun-
try, bearing messages of congratula-
ton, coincidence, or dispatches, and
always beat mounted eouriers when
matched against them.
He never walked, but invariably
ran, his refreshment being biscuit
and raspberry syrup. He took two
short rests only in twenty-four hours.
These rests he took standing, and
leaning against some support; at such
times he covered his face with a
handkerchiefand slept. In 1886 while
In the employ of the East India Com
pany, Mensen was charged with the
conveying of dispatches from CaIcut-
Ia to ConStantinOple through Central
Asia. The distance is 5,6l5 miles
which the messenger accomplished
in tifty-nine days, or in one-third of
the time taken by the swiftest cara
van. At last he was employed to
discover the source of the Nile.
Setting out from Silesia on May IL,
1913. he ran to Jerusalem, and thence
to Cairo. and up the western bank of
the river into Upper Egypt. Here,
just outside the village of Syang, he
was seen to stop and rest. leaning
against palm tree, his face covered
with a handkerchief. He rested so
long that some persons tried to wake
him but they tried in vain for he
was dead. He was buried at the foot
ofthe tree, and it was years before his
friends in Europe knew what fate
had befallen him.-From Ttd-6itS.

Make the abattis of sharpened stakes,
