REAGAN DECLAREs THE CHARGE FALSE.

Representative Reagan, of Texas, Postmas-
ter General of the Confederacy, being asked
to-day what he thought of Gen. Sherman's
most recent statements about jefferson Davis,
said:
81 consider them mere twaddle. got together
for the purpose Of trying to get Gen. Sherman
out OF the very unpleasant attitude IN which
he has placed himself by his statement. He
had no grounds for his charges. and, there
fore, could not prove them. / know that there
was not the slightest truth in the charge that
Mr.. Davis aimed at absolute power or had
any such thought. The very reverse was
true. He was a great stickler for
the law, insisting that it should be fulfilled to
a nicely, but know that such thing as a
despotism or absolute power. or any such
thing as charged by Gen. Sherman, was never
in his thoughts. l was with him from first to
last. | knew him here in Washington before
the war, was a member of his Cabinet from
first to last, was captured with him, and
probably knew more thoroughly his personal
and official views and movements and
thoughts than any other man now living, and
charges are entirely without foundation"

Dog Modistes.

An American lady who visited the
store of a dog modiste in Paris declares
that she never before had seen such
amusing sights. The place was not so
much store as an establishment with
halls and rooms richly furnished. La
dies tripped in and out all day long,
most of the visitors having with them
pugs and terriers, The pet dogs were
scattered through the rooms, each await
ing its turn. Many small mats and
rugs were around the wax floors, and
every bit of carpeting of the kind was
occupied by some pretty little creature.
These dogs have various dresses. The
robe used in the morning is garment of
dark-blue cloth. Itis called a paletot,
and is lined with red-fannel From a
leather collar little bells jingle as its
wearer walks along. Sometimes q
bunch of violets is fastened on the left
shoulder of the dog On very cold
days the pet is clad in sealskin of the
same pattern, the collar being fur
mounted in silver. Paris Letter.
