THERE will not be a time in the pext
generation when a statement that JEFF
Davis was a conspirator and traitor will
fail to call out the representatives of the
solid South in his defense. He is the
southern example Of honor and patriot
ism, as Abraham Lincoln is the Northern
example of honor and patriotism. With
q Democratic Administration just coming
into power, the ex-rebels are q little
more exuberant than usual, but dis :
custom in regard to tho issues and lead
ers of the rebellion will always excite
4hem with the bad old spirit and sensi-
ment of treason. The leading Southern
ers need reconstruction as badly as they
did at the close of the war, if not worse;
for then they felt that they had been
badly whipped, while now they have
recovered from their defeat and punish
ment, and feel that, with a Democratic
President at Washington they are about
as well off as if they had securely
established the Confederate Government
in power at Richmond Chicago Jour

rivers, cascades, caves and lakes, there
are several hundred moving figures of
men, birds and beasts. In the centre
is a life like fac smile Of Washington's
residence at Mt. Vernon. On the
roof are two beautiful figures, carved
and painted so as to repl resent sculp-
tured marble, guarding with drawn
swords the historic mansion, while a
gilt eagle perches upon the porch. In
a room Washington is lying ON his
death bed, surrounded by weeping
friends. In the kitchen servants are

all kept in motion by Il small ovprsh6t

out several knives since he began the
work. .....

MISTAKES OF LIFE.-Somebody has
condensed the mistakes of life, and az
rived at the conclusion that there are
fourteen of them. Most people would
say, if they told the truth, that there
was no limit to the mistakes of life :;
that they were like drops in the ocean
or the sands of the shore in number.
But it is we'll to be ACCURATE. Here,
then, is the fourteen great mistakes:
l. 1t is a great mistake to set up our
own standard of right and wrong, and
judge people accordingly.

others by our own.
3. To expect uniformity of opinion
in this world. v.u.
4. To look for Judgment and exper-
fence in youth. III.
5. To endeavor to mould all disposi-
lions alike.

THE other night, after the thunder
shower, Jones dropped in on a neigh
Dor and found about a dozen people
assembled.
Well, well you look cheerful after
such close call, growled Jones as he
removed his hat.
What close call ?
Why lightning struck the barn in
the alley not a hundred feet away.
Oh DEAR said one of the women,
but knew it all the time. One of my
arms has been numb ever since.
And it affected my foot said an
other.
And it set my heart to palpitating.
And my elbow has felt queer ever
since.
Every one in the room remembered
to have been shocked, and every one
was thankful over the narrow escape
By and by, a boy who had been
thinking deeply gushed out:
"Why, there is no barn in the al
ley!"
Amidst the deepest silence every
body remembered this fact, and the
boy clinched it WITH:
"And how could there be when there
is no alley.'
Jones had lied, but so had all the
| others.
KEEPING Rooms CooL.--A cool place
| should never be ventilated, unless the
air admitted is cooler than the air
within, or is at least as cool as that.
The warmer the air, the more moisture
it holds in suspension. Necessarily,
the cooler the air, the more this moist
ure is condensed and precipitated.
When.a cool cellar is aired on q warm
day, the entering air being in motion
appears cool; but as it fills the cellar
the cooler air with which it becomes
mixed chills it, the moisture is conden-
sed, :and. dew deposited on the cold
walls, and may often be seen running
down them in streams. To avoid this
the windows should be opened at night
and 1ate-the last thing before retir-
ing. There is no need to fear that the
night air;is healthful--it is as pure as
the air of midday, and is really drier.
The cool air enters the apartment dur
ing. the.night, and circulates through
it. The windows should be closed be-
fore sunrise in the morning, and kept
closed and shaded through the day.

"Jim'' Takes In the Town.

The several Indian families encamped
on Washington Square are having reg
ular picnic reading the signs and taking
in the sights about and within the walls
of Zion. Among the many amusing
antics INDUCED in by these dusky deni-
zens is related the following One day
this week DR.. Anderson made a profess
sional call at the hospital and hitched his
flying White Cloud to post at the cor
her of the yard. While the doctor was in
the building one of these wandering
Utes happened along with his struggling
squaws and papooses, and feeling all at
once an irresistible hankering for spin
about the town, he unhitched the old
gray mare, and, piling his whole family
into the rockaway carriage, drove away.
The Doctor happened to step out just in
time to see his familiar conveyance roll
ing away in cloud of dust. The rig was
overtaken and returned, when with a
grunt of satisfaction the Indian and his
family waddled down the street to
grassy spot beside an irrigating ditch and
camped for the day.
