MANY thousands of the Southern people
rejoice that they are permitted 10 iooH
upOn the face of ex-President DAVIS ana
grasp him by the hand. The brave, true
hearted men of the south do not regard
Mr.. Davis as a monster who drove them
into rebellion. but as Tevered leader,
their chosen representative who was as
faithful to them as their Chief M
ecutive. as he had been renowned soldier,
an unexceled official and a wise states
man, before the Southern States withdrew
from the Union. But what more than any
and all other things in his career COM
mands for him the tender affection OF our
people, is he fact that he was singled out
as the object OF merciless persecution,
which fortunately failed Of its ute
riOr objects, and the additional fact
that be has been systematically and per-
sistently pursued and maligned for
twenty years in order to depreciate and
humiliate the Southern people, and bring
opprObrium upon the cause for which
their best and bravest blood was shed,
and which they still cherish as sa-
cred memory. The cause was submitted
the decision was against us. The South
could gracefully and in good faith yield
to defeat. 1t recognizes the fact that the
right of secession was revoked by the last
great revolution, and it is labOring with
hand aud brain for the perDetuation of a
union OF hearts as well as union OF
States. 1t will not, however, stoop to dis
honor the men whom it should honor in
age and adversely, as they we're honored
in the days of their power and prime.
The Southern people know that the pri-
vate life and character of Mr.. Davis have
been as noble and stainless as his public
career was grand and honorable. II
he represented Southern sentiment
before and during the war, be
also idealIzed that Southern
nstitutiOn--slavery. He was and is still
the embodiment OF lofty patriotism, the
truest of husbands, the most affectionate
"f fathers, the best Of neighbors, and he
was one ofthe kindest of masters. being,
IN fact, the benefactor ofthose whom Prov
idence placed under bis power and care,
which is proved by the fact that be yet
has the sincere affection Of his former
slaves.
No unprejudiced. reasonable person
can misconstrue the hQnors that are being
paid to the ex-Presideut of the Confed-
eracy. They are open and sincere, and if
they make the remaining days OF his life
the happier they will no. have been in
vain.
The citizens Of Savannah are mex
pressably gratified to know that Mr..
Davis has consented to visit them. He
will not only have the key to the gates
of the city, but he VIII be assured that he
has long held the key to the hearts of its
people.

Daniel webster's Pillow.

from tne 0eJGSt journal.
On one occasion some Boston friends sent
Webster as present an enormous sized pillow
to use on his place. Webster gave out word
that on certain day it would be christened .
The day arrived, and the surrounding farmers
for miles came in to witness the event. A
dozen teams with aristocratic occupants came
from Boston. IL was expected by everyone
that Webster would make great speech On
the occasion, reviewing the hist ry of farm
ing back to the time when ClncInnatus abdi-
Gated the most mighty throne in the world to
cultivate turnips and cabbages in his Roman
garden. The pillow was brought out, and en-
yokes of splendid oxen hitched in front. More
than 200 people stood around on the tiptOe of
expectation Soon Webster made his appear
ance. lie had been ealing spirits from the
va-ty deep, and his gait was somewhat un-
certain. SEEING the plOw handles and spread
ing his feet he yelled out to the driver IN his
deep bass voice:
Are you all ready, Mr. Wrlght?'
"Al ready, Mr. Webster" was the reply,
meaning Of course for his speech.
Webster Strengthened himself up by a
mighty effort, aud shouted:
''rhen let her rip!'
The whole crowd roared with laughter,
while Webster with his big pillow proceeded to
rip up the soil.

Social distinctions are, to some extent, OBJ

best account of him that can be Obtoned here,
and while in that service he sDeculated with
considerable success on points given to HIM

Good Advice to Labor.

Workingmen frequently make the mis-
take Of supposing that those who are
swittest to impress them with the idea
that they have grievances, and that they
ought to try to get their grievances reme-
died by means OF the strike and the boy
colt are their best friends. Experience
proves that advisers OF this sort are oftener
enemies than friends. AS rule those
who are leaders in lawlessness and who
talk loudest and longest of the wrongs OF
labor are not true workingmen.
II Mr.. POwderly could have his way
workingmen would seldom or never have
occasion to strike, and they would have
more home comforts and more genuine
pleasures than it is possible to get by
means of the boycott and the strike.
Yesterday, in Chicago, the editor of the
Knights OF Labor organ in that city gave
the employees OF the Union Stock Yards,
who had assembled to promote the eight
hour movement, some pretty plain talk,
IT does not seem, however, to have done
any good. The bad advisers, because they
advised course in harmony with the
wishes of the majority, were listened TO
sirous of promoting the welfare of the
workingmen.
In Hartford, day or two ago, Mr.. Ar
thur, the chief OF Locomotive Brotherhood
gave workingmen some excellent
advice. He does not believe in striking
and boycotting, and is confident that
where there is forbearance and good
judgment, troubles between employers
and employees can almost always be set
tied.
There is one part of his remarks that is
worthy OF particular notice as coming
from the head of one of the great labor
organizations of the country. The part
is as follows: "We have no business to
say that an employer shall employ or
SHALL not employ this man. A man has
the rlght to belong to any organization,
provided it is not contrary to the law.
We say no man has the right to say to
another man that he must not belong to
an organization. And, too, we have no
right to go to the companies and say:
You must not employ that man. We
oppose this way OF doing things on prin-
ciple."
If the good sense of this man Arthur
prevailed in all labor organizations the
strike on the Gould system of roads
would not have occurred, and there
woulJ not now be strike on the Third
Avenue road in New York city. In both
| instances employees assumed the right to
say whom the companies should or should
not employ. The refusal of the COM
panies to concede this right was followed
by strike.
The demands OF labor which are not
based on reason stand very poor chance
Of being conceded With respect to this
eight-hour movement there are probably
trades which can afford to pay ten-hour
wages for eight hours work, but the
many OF them cannot. If the employees
of those which cannot insist upon the
eight-bour system, there is certain to be
trouble. 1t is not to be expected that
employers will continue a business that
! promises nothing but loss.

A Marriage Mart in RoumaniA.


A remarkable custom exists among the
ROumanans living in the westerly Carpa-
thians. Every year, at the Feast of the Apes
ties Peter aud Paul. market is held on the
crest of the Gaina. from 5000 to 5000 feet
above the level of the sea, and here all the
MARI ageable girls of the entire district as
semble with their parents in order to be
viewed and claimed. Others, aunts, grand
mothers, and various other female friends
contribute to the dowrY, and this cOmpl eted,
it is carried to the market on the CANA in
neatly made trunks. decorated with flowers,
and carried by the famly's best horses. Cat
tie. bees, and other household requisites are
also added to the dowry.
On the Gaina every family which has a
marriageable daughter occupies a distinct
tent, IN which the dOwry is exhibited, and in
which the bride wers are expected. The
bachelors. too. are accompanied by parents
or relatives, in whose company they inspect
the girls who are eligible. The young men
bring the best they possess and each must
particularly come with girdle Of gold or
silver.
After the brides are chosen the public be-
trothal takes place. being conducted by her
NIT who lives in this lonely spot. The mark
of betrOthal isnOt a ring, bur beautifully en-
broidered handkerchief The betrothal is in
many cases prearranged; but the ceremony
must be gone through al the same. If 4 girl
goes to the market knowing beforehand that
an admirer VIII be there TO claim her. SO much
the better for her. still. she must take her
dowTy and occupy her tent and place herself
on view like the rest.

Government Control of Interstate
Railroads.

Senator Stanford, of California, made
some strong points a day or two ago in a
speech in the Senate against the Cullom
interstate commerce bill. Mr.. Stanford
is largely interested in the Central Pacific
railroad, and cannot, of course, see any
good in any bill which seems to interfere
with the management Of railroads by their
owners.
While granting that Congress has the
power to regulate Interstate commerce,
he denied that the Cullom bill, or any
Of the other bills pending in Congress to
regulate Interstate commerce, applied in
any way to commerce. Under the pre-
tense of regulating Interstate commerce
they really aimed to regulate carriers.
or course, he argued, Congress has moth
ing to do with regulating carriers.
There is, doubtless. something in this
point. If the purpose of the bill were to
regulate shippers and owners its title
would be appropriate 1t is a question
how the courts would rule il the bill were
to become a law, and the point was
raised that Congress had undertaken to
regulate something which it had no au-
thority to regulate. 1t might be held that
the regulation OF the carrier is the regu-
lation Of commerce, but it will hardly be
denied that the carrier has nothing to do
with the control of the shipment Of goods
or their ultimate destination or disposal.
And il the carrier has no control Of the
goods which he carries, it is a question
whether Congress regulates commerce
when il regulates the carrier and inter-
feres with his freight and passenger
rates.
Another point which Senator Stanford
made, and which is rather interesting at
this time, is that by undertaking 70 regu-
late freight and passenger rates Congress
virtually assumes to regulate the COM
pensation Of labor. OF course I'm fixing
Interstate rates 1t does not propose to
make the rates so low that the roads will
not be able to pay fair dividends on the
/ capital invested in them. and when it de-
/ termines what the rates shall be it says
/ what capital and labor shall each receive
! II the rates were fixed so as to leave
/ capital nothing, or practically nothing,
4 that would be contiscatton, and 1t GER
/ tainy is not the purpose Of Congress TO
/ confscate property.
The speech Of Senator Stanford can. OF
course, be answered, but it broadens the
| question relative 10 government control
Of Interstate railroads.
