stars in their various calIings. and some
of them, as YOU will note on perusaI
are of worldwide fame. and prominent
in history. One of the latter with whom

steps 1 soon overlook the object of NV
search, and enioved the Iuvrrv of q
walk Of five or six SQUARES with TaFI
Davis. Personally I rather liked tbe
old man, but I can't saw I admire his
political policy, for he is one Of the few
big guns Of the Confederacv who didn't
have sense enough to accent tba newt
able, and abide by the decision he and
his supporters invoked-tbe dicision of
arms. Jeff Davis was once the idol ofI
the South, but within the past few wears
he has not been rendered the resDact of
the Southern masses that once amouDta5
to love and was a part of his tributa If
is not for me to saw whether or NOT tho
South is right in turning a cold sbouIder
to their former monarch, and il matters
not, now. Jeff Davis is old. The SNOW
of age l'none falls lighter-vet none Is
heavier, for it never meIts''l has driftaJ /
DER him and whitened his locks and |
soon he will sink beneath its WEIGHT and /.
be-only a name in history.
