Jefferson Davis.

A correspondent of the Globe-Demo-
GRAFT who recently talked with Jeffer-
son Davis, says that he conversed
pleasantly upon matters of a literary
and philosophic nature, to which he
devotes much study. Both Mr.. and
Mrs. Davis inquired affectionately of
mary Georgians whose memory they
cherished; Of the peerless Gordon, the
Fright arm of Lee;;" of Gen. Colquitt,
of Gen. Henry r. jackson, whose
bravery as soldier in the Mexican
war Mr.. Davis we'll remembered; and
especially OF the eloquent Hill, whose
memory is precious sentiment in
the family.
.sIn the days." said Mrs. Davis,
slwhen friends were needed, Mr.. Hill
came to me so tenderly, and offered
his assistance with such considerable
ness, that I can never forget it. Il
think" she continued ''that his statue
should be in a recumbent position, it
is so dignified and represents his sleep
ing power.
in action, such as that of Patrick Henry
in Richmond, cannot be surpassed for
expression
"And yet," resumed Mrs. Davis,
ethe eve becomes fatigued as it looks
upon an active posture which is never
changed, while you can look upon the
recumbent statue of Lee for hours
@@Very truey" said Mr.. Davis, "that
is the statue of man at rest: whose
work is finished. That of old Patrick
Henry is at his work, appealing to the
people In looking upon either, my
mind runs back to the OCCASION"
Mr. Davis favorite author is Sir
Walter Scott. Scott's great power of
describing objects III motion, and the
scenery in which his plots are laid, are
SO truthful and realistic as to make
their recognition easy to the traveller
who visits them. Among poets he re-

striking feature of Byron is that when
ever he renders quotation from the
classics he always improves it so much
as, to become his own Other authors

He is the only novelist whose style
changes with age-his Last of the

connecting link between the successive
works is the retention of the alchemist.
The greatest danger to the country in
the futureis the vast aggregation of
wealth in single hands Primogeniture

discretion can not be gauged by his

in their conclusions, not always able
to give the reasons therefor, yet not

About Public Omcia1s.

It appears to be the general opinion that Mayor Northrup will be the successor of Postmaster Bent of Middletown, although First Selectman Bacon, of Middletown, is all so 8 candidate for the position, and it is pos sible that the Hon. c. c. Hubbard may se- cure the prize. MT. Bent's commission ex- pires the 20th of this month.
 The Bridgeport Standard says: The relin- punishment at o'clock Monday by MT. Julius s. Hanover of the office of collector of the port to his Democratic successor, MT. Walter Goddard, was an event Illustrating in sen sible way what is meant by civil service. MT. Hanover's term expired by limitation on Tuesday, May 5, at which time he could, had he chosen, have retired from the post and al- lowed the department to manage as best it could. Imbued with the true spirit of what the public service requires, he has continued in the exercise of duty until the administra- tion could find suitable person to perform the work, and he has willingly imparted to the new official all the points which will en- able him to go forward iRtelligently.
 The Middletown correspondent of the Courant says: It is rumored that some of the Democratic liquor dealers who have lately been arrested for violating United States laws will make effort to induce the Sem ate not to confirm the appointment of Alex ander Troup collector of internal revenue for Connecticut.

complaint and said that this deed of 1881 was given to Mrs. Munson by Mrs. Todd under the belief and trust that the plaintiff would get one-half the property at her death, that Mrs. Munson made false repre- sentation to her mother in getting the deed, that the deed was never recorded and that it was absolute on it's face, no trust for the plaintiff being mentioned in it. This the defence denied. City Attorney Julius 0. Cable drew the deed of 1881. Judge San ford found issue for the defendants, and from this decision the plaintiff appealed.
 W. H. Andrews vs. Richard E. Rice, trus- tee, is an amicable reservation suit to deter mine how the estate of William Johnson of New Haven, who died March 5, 1874, shall

Rice succeeded Treat The plaintiffs, who are the heirs-at-law, ask, in view of recent deaths, what provisions of the will are void, and possession on judgment in their favor Mr Johnson's deed was very long one. It also had five codicils. He gave small amounts to various national benevolent societies. The present heirs are B. c. Thay- CT, M. E. Thayer, Julia E. Thayer and Jessie R. Thayer.

WAS HIT FOUL PLAYa
A Drowning Mans Crfes-Supposed
 Case of Suicide.

Case of Suicide.
 Just after the o'clock train from New London arrived at the west side station in Norwich Monday night shrieks and cries for help were heard issuing from thewater near the wharf of the Norwich and New York Trans portation company. The cries were heard at the top of Mt. Pleasant and on Laurel Hill The police were notified and James Stanley took a lantern and went to the wharf to see if he could learn anything concerning the cause of the cries. He found brown Derby hat on the wharf between the hydrant and the cor ner post of the shed, 2 7-S in size, in good condition, with the trade mark of C. A. Rathbone, of New London, in it. On the right side of the back of the hat was a dent which looked as if the wearer had been struck blow on the head. Not far from the hat was found drab castor glove in good con dition. Near the corner of the freight house was found diary containing the name Joseph Lanzl," written in both German and English, together with small accounts. The indications all seemed to show that there had been foul play, but later the case appears to be a case of suicide, as a man named Lanzl had been lately in Norwich de- spondent and looking for work in vain, and had talked of his troubles greatly. Lanzl is missing and his friends have no doubt that the missing man is he. An effort was made yesterday to recover the remains. Deceased was about thirty years of age.

The selling of these stocks was attributed to the new requirements by the government in regard to their monthly reports All of this class of stocks were sold heavily short and there was some unload ing of long stock.

 About three years ago 8 man here peti- toned for a divorce from his wife on the
 ground of her deserting him. Meanwhile he
 became engaged to young woman the
 after living with this man for about two
 years, died on Monday of this week. And what is queer about the case, the Seiectmen of the town, after being applied to for as
 sistance in aid of her during months of sick ness, not only refused assistance unless they might place her in the townhouse, but took no steps to remove her from the man,
 who had to care for her as if his lawful wife. Onfyna few weeks ago this woman,
 while alone, crawled from her bed to little stream of water one rod from the house to drown herself in it. The water was too shal- low. She crawled back to the house, her garments wet, took dull knife, but had not strength in the use of it to terminate her life. She was found in her bed in sad plight, wet and bloody. The above was her story. What she at last wanted, she said, was a certain poison. This poor woman's untimely departure leaves a poor man to bewail it and the disreputable life he has lived with her. Meanwhile he must seek to bring to an issue his petition in court for divorce from his only lawful wife, who lives less than a mile distant from him. This mans neighbors have not been over anxious to call on him. He has wondered all along that they have not been more neighborly. But they ought to have visited him early and carried him, if need be, in loving arms so far as to preclude his living with her again What the neighbors failed to do the angels have done in aid of the unfortunate man and woman in question. The need in this case was separation, and it has been effected. Per haps the afflicted man will now return to his first love for sympathy in his afdiction. She can but feel towards him and may feel for him. Dec, l.
