a chat win Mr.. Davis.

A correspondent of the Atlanta (9a)
Constitution paid a visit TO the Hon.
Jefferson Davis At his plantation in
Warren County, Miss, and that paper
on Sunday printed several coluu ms
descriptive of the man and his sur
roundings. Describing Mr.. Davis, the
correspondent says" he shows kindly
eyes, n fair face and mouth wreathed
in a gentle smile. During the four
hours spent In bis presence this kindly
smile and pleasing manner never lett
him. In his conversation, too, the
same fact was noticed.
"Of those whose conduct In the war
did not eptitle them 10 his respect he
spoke in terms of kindly interest, re-.
III en- beriDg only the good that was in
thes,." Mr. Davis said that he had
left the war beh ind him, and with 1t
public life he courted the privacy of
his home, and did not intend TO be
drawn into controversial topics. Never.
theless, he converted pleasantly on
matters of a literary and philosophic
nature, to which he devotes much
study.
The Constitutions correspondent then
adds: To put in o few words my
Impressions gathered at the two homes
of Mr.. Davis will require but a few
words. Mr.. Davis is seventy eight
years old, in the best of health, cheerful,
contented and hopeful. Mrs. Davis Is
also happy in the love Of her husband
and the sympathy which she receives
from every man and woman in the
South. They have two chill dren, the
eldest being the wife OF Mr.. Hayes, OF
Colorado, who herself is the mother OF
4 three.
The second, Miss Winnie Davis, is at
home, and u source of com fort and Joy
TO her parents. Their home at Beauvoir
is a charming retreat, retired from the
hustle of the world, yet cheered by the
visits Of Northern friends, Southern
lsympathizsrs and Confederate veterans
Their home here. BrieIfeld, Is long,
single story white building, with wioss
Mt either end in the shape OF a double T,
with yerandas between supported by
heavy columns, and painted entirely In
white. There is q plantation Of twenty
four undred acres, the richest OF Mis-
sissirpi bottoms, from which, Capt
}, Hughes gays, six hundred bales OF cot
ton will be gathered This year.
"Nr. Davis generally visltsthis place
twice a year TO look after his interests,
: Whether here or at Beauvoir, Mr.
Davis is equally accessible to his neigh
bors-kin ind, gentle and courteous. HI
Is man of studious habits, at the
