for the purpose of extorting money: that he

Galena Gid Letter in Chicago Inter Ocean.
The mention of the name of Jefferson Davis
recalls to my mind the fact that the President of
the late Southern Confederacy was credited a
short time ago with having eloped when he was
lieutenant in the United States army at Prairie
du CHEN, in 1881, thereabouts, with Miss
Knox Taylor, daughter of General Zachary
Taylor, then in command of that military sta
ton. The story was also to the effect that
the pair came to Galena and were married
by Methodist minister, who was doing mis-
sionary work here at that time. The report
in regard to the elopement and clandes-
tine marriage was denied, however, by Mr..
Davis himself, and it is now regarded here with
az little credence as is attached to numerous
other legends relating to pioneer times in this
portion OF the Northwest Nevertheless the late
ID. r. Bunte, of Duneith, this county, man of
unquestioned veracity alleged that he lBuntl
resided in Grant county, Wis, when Davis was
stationed at Prairie du Chen; that he knew the
latter well, having frequently met him, and that
he Davis in company with lady, who was also
known to him to have been the daughter of Gen
eral Taylor, arrived one afternoon in hot haste
at his house, and that he furnished them fresh
horse with which to continue their journey to
Galena, their own having succumbed to the
forced speed required OF him. This seems to

My heart light with bit of song,
And quiet faith that the seed would grow.
The scoffers laughed as scoffers will
O. their breath's more blighting than natures cold
They said my sowing would come to naught--
No harvest could spring from frozen mold.
My hope was bright, for knew beneath
It's mantle of snow the earth was warm
And yielding soil could catch the germ
Of future flower and fragrant form.
waited long for the season dragged;
But courage and sunlight conquer all,
And an April blessing at last,
And showed me flower from the rootlet small
And O! the sweetness that filled its cup,
And warm soft tints of its petals rare!
More precious than any garden held
Was this dear reward of my loving care
find my lesson here: Some hearts
Seem barren and frozen and covered with snow;
Drop seed of love for the soil beneath;
Some flower may blossom, and thrive and grow.

One of the most notable things about Miss
Terry is her utter Inconsistencies of dress. As
long as she has anything on, she does not seem
to care much what it is; that is, if it is comf0rta
BILE. All her clothes fit her in the loosest man
ner, and you feel that if she should shake her
self violently she would shake everything off.
She likes to feel free and untrammeled, and she
must to move around as she does She is never
still for two minutes at time, and it would be
impossible to move about in this way if she wore
tight clothes don't believe there is woman
in the world that dresses as she does, and yet
she gives thought to her dress. She wears
what is comfortable to her, and she thinks of
people who do not know her imagine
that, being one of the leading actresses
of the world, she, dresses in the most expensive
and gorgeous style; that she wears nothing but
the gayest Paris hats and the most dainty Paris
boots. On the contrary, [ do not believe she
has a thing that ever saw Paris certainly her
hat and her boots never did She has worn the
same hat for the two seasons that she has been
in America; and although she has been here in
the winter both times her hat is little brown
straw turban with a brown veil wound around
it. Sometimes she pins bunch of natural
fowers-violets general thing-in the side
of her hat, and forgets to take them out after
they are faded. She likes this hat because it is
lgnt, SA6 say ller ledu uOt, anu because
she pick it up and putt and take it off and
throw it down on the floor. or on the table, or
anywhere, and not bother about it. AS rule
she likes to pull it off the first thing when she
comes in the room, and to run her fingers
through her yellow hair, which stands up around
her head like halo. Her shoes have not the
common sense recommendations of her hat
They are pumps that she bought for Olivia, with
a great high heel in the middle of the sole, and
the toes sharpeneG off to the finest point. They
are made of stout leather. and ornamented with
a big steel buckle. She wears these low shoes
summer and winter, but she says they are the
most comfortable things that she ever
had on her feet; that before she wore
them, she used TO wear common sense shoes.
made with great attention to the anatomy of the
foot, and she never had minutes happiness in
them. When she played Olivia, She bought
those pumps as part of her costume, and they
were comfortable that she has never worn
anything else since. No one could deny that
Miss Terry not the most strikingly- dressed
person in any room; but l venture to say that
she would DC the most inexpensively dressed.
She has her gowns made of anything that
strikes her fancy, whether she sees it in dry
goods shop or an upholstereys. The stuff is the
thing she looks for, without regard to the die
tates Of fashion.

Paris American Register

A contemporary relates story which is q
striking illustration of the old saw, varium ct
mutable semper femina est The scene of the
affair was on the Lancashire coast, where a lady
was having private bath at the establishment
in question, when male attendant was startled
by sudden outburst Of shrieks and shouts of
most alarming character, emanating from that
lady's private cabinet The female attendant
happened to be out and, though the natural
masculine delicacy of the male attendant caused
him to hesitate about entering the ladys cabinet.
the shrieks were so loud and their burden so
serious that he felt bound to cast propriety on
one side and hasten at once to the rescue OF a
woman in distress He accordingly burst into
the poor lady's room, and saw the bather stand
ing at the side of the bath. When she perceived
q man the lady's confusion got the better OF
her fears, and to conceal herself she jumped
back again into the BATH shrieking the while
more loudly than ever At last, however, the
lady grew sufficiently coherent to explain the
cause Of her trouble serpent, she declared,
had somehow found It's way into the bath, and
she desired the attendant to hunt for it. A
fresh difficulty now arose. Should the lady re-
main in the bath, which dscreetly concealed her
figure. or should she get out while the attend
ant conducted tho searchi There was no tina
to be lost and the attendant settled the difficulty
by dipping his arm into the water whore he
rummaged Observation-Disclosures the ladys
protests-untl he found-what do you Think
Nothing more formidable than the laiy's plat
Of false hair, which she had accidentally drop
ped into the bath, and which she nistook as She
saw IL floating on the top Of TIE water for a
real live serpent. And now the lady has lodged
