Jas.

James Love, of Liberty, Mo, is
here on a visit. Mr.. Love, in the
4Oties taught school here, and will
qe remembered by our old citizens,
His earliest recollections are associat-
ed with Fulton, and on his coming to
our place his feelings were akin to
that of approaching the holy city.
He is a guest of the Palace Hotel,
and, no doubt, would be pleased to
have his former associates call on
him. Although past 65, one would
take him for a middle-aged man.
His wife and child are buried here.
This is his first visit since 1865

The above named gentleman was
in Mexico last week, and is well
known here by some of the "oldest
inhabitants" having lived here about
40 years ago. Among his old friends
here are Judge J. P. Clark, Jas.
Pasqueth, DIR. Allison and many
others.

THE FAMILY,

THE FAMILY.
Iwould not be guilty of drawing aside
the veil that conceals from the world the
privacy of the home, or parading before the
public even the names of our noble women;
but the deep interest which our people take
in all that concerns this noble family must
be my excuse for saying some things which
otherwise might not be admissible.
Those who knew Mrs. Davis in other
days as Senator's or Secretary's wife in
Washington, or as "Mistress of the White
House" and "frstlady" of the Gonfederacy
in Richmond, would find no difficulty in re-
cognizing her now, for, though time has
wrought some changes in her, she is the
same bright. genial, cultivated, domestic
woman, who is equally well qualified to
grace the parlor, preside at State dinner
with historic men as her guests, attend to
the minutest details of her housekeeping, or
visit her neighbors, or look after the needy
poor.
She is one of the finest conversationalists
ever met, and her recollections of society
and events in Washington, in Richmond,
and in Europe, and of the prominent men
and women with whom she came in contact
are simply charming, and would make
book of rare interest were she disposed to
turn her attention to authorship. Devoted
to her husband, and taking natural pride
in his fame; an affectionate mother, who
delights in her children and grandchildren;
affable and pleasant with her neigbors, a
noted housekeeper and fine economist, and
a charming entertainer of visitors, she
strikes all who know her as worthy to share
the fortunes and comfort the declining years
of our chief, as she was worthy to share his
honors and reign in society at Washington
and at Richmond.
She speaks in the most cordial terms las
does Mr.. Davis) of Richmond and Rich
mond people, and inquiies very affection
ately after some of her special friends.
Miss Winnie Davis, the single daughter,
who was born in Richmond not long before
the close of the war, is one Of the most
thoroughly educated, accomplished young
women whom have ever met. At the same
time she is simple, affable and sweet in her
manners, a brilliant conversationalist, a
general favorite, and every way worthy of
her prond lineage and happy inheritance as
"Child of the Confederacy."
Mrs. Hayes, the only other living child,
was on visit to Beauvoir, but was sick,
and had not the pleasure of seeing her
but l heard her spoken of in the warmest
terms of admiration by some of the neigh.
bors. l saw her four sweet children-and
what pets they were with their grandfathe er,

view with him he would be glad to grant it. I"
"But," said the grand old chief of the Con-
federacy, 81 wanted no interview with the
man who had played us false, and so
promptly replied that did not desire it.''
He spoke of General Lees high opinion
of the ability of General Early as soldier
and of his own emphatic endorsation ofthat
opinion, and said many other things of deep
interest which | may not write now.
He and his family were evidently deeply
touched by the grand ovation accorded him
at Montgomery, Atlanta, Savannah, &C.,
last spring, and l assured him that if he
would accept the invitation which / bore
him from Governor Lee to be present at the
laying of the cornerstone of the Lee monu-
ment next October we would give him in
the last capital of the Confederacy well
come equally as warm-an ovation fully as
imposing. He could not promise so long
ahead what he could do, in view of his de-
clining years and uncertain health, but said,
There isuo place would rather visit than
Richmond; no occasion had rather be pre-
sent upon than one that is to honor r. E.
Lee. If possible shall do myself the pleas
ure of going"
I came away from Beauvoir with the
highest qualification that 1 had had the
privilege Of seeing at his home, eating with
at his table, and mingling in free social in
tercourse with the great statesman, the
peerless orator, the gallant soldier, the
stainless Christian gentleman, the devoted
patriot, whom, with one voice, the Con-
federate States called to be their chief, who
never betrayed their trust, but who was
true in war, and has been true in peace
''who did not desert during the war and has
not deserted SINCE"
What true Confederate-what true citizen
of any section of the country-can fail to
join in the earnest prayer that Heavens
choicest blessings may rest upon that beauti-
full home at Beauvoir-that his last days
may be his best days, and that he may
finally rest in peace, wear ''the fadeless
crown of victory" and rejoice in the plaud-
it of the Great Captain-''Well done, good
and faithful servant''-when he shall Join
Lee and Jackson and others of our Christian
soldiers in that bright land where wars
rude alarms'' are never heard?

Care of Animals in Summer.

The American Humane Association pre-
sents the following suggestions relative to
the care of animals during the heated
term:-
Provide water-fresh, pure water. Think,
reader, how you are refreshed by drink of
cool water on hot day. The lower an
imals are equally in need of the means of
quenching thirst.
The active dog requires drink frequently
during the hot day, as does also the cat;
and dish of fresh water should stand where
they can have access to it. Undoubtedly
many dog is driven to madness through
lack of water; and the testimony is that hy-
drophobia is almost unknown in those To-
calities where dogs can drink when they
wish.
Every city, village, and country town
should be literally supplied with drinking
fountains for animals, and they should be
so constructed that even the smallest dogs
can drink from them. No gift to a people
confers a greater pleasure than fountain,
and that person WHO turns aside stream
from the field and gives watering trough
to the roadside, or provides fountain at
which man and beast can drink pure water,
is truly public benefactor.
Give the horse frequent opportunity to
quench thirst at times when not too much
over-heated, and before eating. To drink
freely Immediately after eating prevents
favorable digestion of food.
Provide shade. How instinctively we
seek the shadow when the sun is pouring
its hot rays on the dry and parchipg earth.
If the pasture is not provided with shade
trees, in convenient locality set four, six,
or eight supports, across which place straw
or grass, and thus, in a brief time and with
little labor, make shade in which animals
can rest from the heat of the sun, to the
great comfort of themselves and benefit to
their owners.
Remove the harness from the horses in
the hot day whenever you desire to give
them full, free rest, and once during the
day, preferably at uight, a thorough cur
rying and grooming will not only give rest,
but will do. about as much towards i'm
proving the animals condition as will the
oats.
Examine the harness on your working
team, and you will discover that blinds,
check-reins, and cruppers are simply tor
turing contriyances, serving no useful pur-
pose. Take them all off for the conven-
fence of yourselves and the comfort of the
horses.
Keep the stable well ventilated and free
from strong ammonia, which is injurious
to the eyes.
Assist the animals to protect themselves
against flies, feed regularly, hitch in the
shade, and remember that the care which
will give comfort to the lower animals will
make them doubly profitable to their own
ers aside from the humane bearing upon
the subject.

Destruction Of Vermin.
[American Agriculturist for August

[American Agriculturist for Augustl
In the warm weather insect pests in
crease with great rapidity, multiplying a
thousandfold. Some of the worst of these
reproduce themselves in few days, and as
their progeny is very numerous, their num-
bers soon become overwhelming. 1t is,
therefore, necessary that means of repres-
sion should be taken Immediately. The
young animals suffer chiefly, and poultry
most. Fowls, indeed, not only suffer them
selves, but soon infect barns and stables
with feas and lice, and it has been known
that horses have died from the intolerable
prosecutions of vermin brought into their
stables by fowls. Owls, swallows, rats, and
mice also bring vermin iuto barns and sta
bles. Oil is fatal to every insect which it
touches, and sulphur is very offensive to
them. A mixture of four ounces of lard
and one ounce of sulphur, well rubbed to-
gether, and with the addition of one ounce
of kerosene oil and one dram of creosote,
will be found an excellent remedy against
all sorts of insect vermin, while the liberal
use of kerosene oil on poultry roosts will
free the fowls from their tormentors.

MORTALITY AMONG DEMOCRATIC
STATEsMEN.-The death of Mr.. Tilden sug-
gests the fact that the democratic party has
lost no less than four of it's former candi-
dates for the presidency within compare
lively recent period, viz, Mcclellan, Sey-
mour, Tilden and Hancock, the candidates
Mr.. Greeley, who was the candidate of the
liberal movement of 1872, is also dead, so
that Mr.. Cleveland alone remains of those
who have been the democratic standard
bearers since the election of 1860. Mr..
Hendricks, elected to the vice-presidency
in 1876 and again in 1884, is also dead, so
that the "old tlcket'' of 1875 is no more.
John Kelly, the Tammany chieftain, and
Mr.. Tilden's chief opponent in the demo-
cratic ranks, died only two months age.

PRESIDENT DAVIS,

Returning from a several days trip to
Meridian; was delighted to find that Mr..
Davis had returned from his plantation, had
done me the honor of calling at my brother
in-law's to see me, and was awaiting nv
arrival.
Those who knew him in Richmond dur
ing the war might not recognize him at
once, as over twenty years have left their
impress upon him, and he now wears full
beard instead of being closely shaven as
then. But the handsome face, the courtly
grace of his bearing, the fash of his eagle
eye, his cordial manners, genial humor, and
almost unrivalled eloquence of conversation,
soon bring back the Confederate President
the indOmitable leader, the unfinching
patriot, the high toned Christian gentleman,
whom true Confederates will ever delight
to honor.
Seventy-eight years of an eventful life are
upon him, his health is not strong, and his
physical powers begin to weaken, but his
intellect is as clear as ever, and his heart as
warm as ever for the land he has loved so
well, and for which he has teiled, and suf-
fered, and sacrificed SO much.
| shall not be guilty of betraying to the
public the confidence of private converse
tion, as at this and subsequent interviews
at his own home he spoke freely of men and

THE HOUSE AND GROUNDS.

At this and subsequent visits l had ample
opportunity of seeing the house and grounds
The house is large, double framed build
ing, painted white and contrasting very
pleasantly with the foliage in which it is
smbowered. A wide veranda runs around
it, and broad hall through the centre
makes very pleasant sitting-room in the
summer. On either side of the main build
ing, and few yards from it, are very neat
cottages, also white, and in the rear are am.
pie and convenient outbuildings.
The house is very well furnished, mostly
with handsome old furniture, the walls are
adorned with some fine pictures-some OF
them copies of the masterpieces of the old
masters-and the rooms are tastefully de-
corated with bric-a-brac and pretty orna-
men.s, many of which are the products OF
the deft fingers and good taste of Mrs. Davis
and her accomplished daughters.
Books, carefully selected from standard
authors, adorn the tables or grace the
shelves. In word, the stranger who knew
nothing of the occupants would have only
to glance through the rooms to see at once
that this is an abode of culture, refinement,
and taste.
The grounds are ample, the live.oaks and
their hanging moss are very beautiful, the

the house, and is certainly one of the most
beautiful sheets of water that the sun shines
upon. The grounds are certainly very
beautiful as they are, but are capable OF
great improvement, and one could not re-
press the wish that our honored Confederate
chief had the means of making them all
that his cultivated taste would suggest.
And yet it is source of qualification to
old Confederates that our great leader has
this quiet retreat where away from the
rushing crowd, on the soil of his loved Mis-
sissippi, breathing the healthful breezes of
the Gulf that washes the southern shores of
the Confederacy, in the shades of his own
home and in the bosom of his family, he can
spend the evening of his busy life, and fill
out the record of his great duties and heroic
deeds. But it ought to be added that his
needed rest and quiet are often broken by
visitors-loving admirers who are anxious
to pay their respects and do honor to the
greatest living American; but too often mere
curiosity hunters, some of whom partake of
his hospitality, and then 60 off to write all

Visit to Beauvoir.
FROM RICHMOND TO THE HOME OF MIR.
DAVIS.
THE AGED EX-PREsIDENT AND HIS SUR
ROUNDINGs-HIs OPINION OF LEE AND
JACKSON.
TFor the Dispatch. I


A trip from Richmond to Beauvoir by the
Richmond and Danville route to Atlanta,
the Atlanta, West Point and Montgomery
to Montgomery, and thence by the Louis
vile and Nashville railway is quick and
comparatively comfortable, even at this sea-
son. Leaving here at A. NJ, on Thurs
day we reached Beauvoir-a flag station on
the Louisville and Nashville, half way be-
tween Mobile and New Orleans-at $40 P.
M. Friday.
The first questions asked are "Where is
Mr.. Davis's house ?" ttIs Mr.. Davis at
home?" The grounds are pointed out as
running down to the station, the large vine
yard of Scuppernong grapes forming a
pleasing contrast to the signing pines
around, and soon the large yard, shaded by
live oaks, is seen, and the dim outlines of
the cottages and mansion, as we hurry along
the road to the house of relative on the
beach, several hundred yards below. But
was greatly disappointed to learn that Mr..
Davis had received summons to his plan
tation up on the Mississippi river, and had
left several days before.
| had, however, a very pleasant time
gazing on the beautiful Gulf, breathing its
salt breezes, dipping in its brine, catching
fish every morning for breakfast making
some very pleasant acquaintances, &c.-and
made most enjoyable visit to Beauvoir,
where Mrs. Davis and Miss Winnie enter
tanned me in most agreeable style.
