war councils. now re-teChp with the voices of
children. 1t was here that jefferson Davis
lived with his family during the whole of the
late war. Here he talked over the various
campaigns with Gen Robert f. Lee and
here he gave many lrvea at the beginning
of the struggle, when hope was high and the
prospects Of great southern empire appa-
rpItiv good The house l. a fine three-stOry
brick building with large ROOMS and an old
fashioned porch upheld by great pillars at the
back At the left of it is an entrance 10 what
were Mr. Davis stables and there is a garden
in the rear. 1t is only four or five squares
from the Capitol building. where the Confed-
crate congress met, and the Confederate gov

the Cunf@leracy WAS removed from Mont
gomery To Richmond this property was
purchased by the city and rendered As a
present tn Mr.. Davis. He would not take it
as such, but he consented to occupy it for his
presidential term, and after he went away the
house came back to the city.

Mr. Piatt drifted to The Louisville Journal,
then edited by George D. Prentice, who took
"A great fancy to the young poet and said Of
him that he was the most original and pureSt
American of the many then engaged in max
ing tw" words jingle at the end Of an idea ="
Certainly the author of The Pioneer CHM
ney, The Mowers of Ohio, Going to Vote, ="
and other touchingly original poetry has jus
titled all that LOngfellow, Lowell and Prem
tice said of him.
Prentice had n corps of talented and beau
tiful girls writing poetry for The journal
He gave them much praise, but little money
as editors are wont to do, especially if the
editors arr proprietors and publishers Among
them was a lovely little Kentucky girl named
Sarah NJ. Bryan. Piatt fell i'll love with her
poetry and then with her When he saw her
after pilgrimage to the hills Of Kentucky,
made 10 that end and no other he found her
rs pleasing as her poetry He wOOed and won
her, and since then the two have charmed us
all with song
Mr. Piatt has published several volumes of
poems here and in London and Edinburgh
and has now in press at Dublin u small vol
ume entitled AT the Holy Well" He and
Mrs. Piatt together have published two vol
umes. He is also author of a small volume of
prose entitled "Penciled Fly leaves" and has
edited, with biographical sketch, the poems
of his old friend, George d. Prentice. His
poetry has met with great favor both at home
and abroad, and some of it has been trans
lated into German. Some Of his war poems
are As strong and fine as anything in our liter
aturc .Withal, he is that most noble prod
uct Of our beloved country, gentleman
courteous. considerate and modest.
Mr. Piatt is our consul at Cork, ireland, and
has his Office and residence at Queenstown.
He is a faithful, painstaking official, and is
justly retained by the administration. 1t
would be real civil service reform to promote
him. While gaining a Trustworthy agent, the
government would at the same time recognize
literary merit.

maiden name was Sarah Morgan Bryan, was

and If they do not work actively against the
powers that b'.. they at least exert powerful
influence paSSivrly against the constellation

These social gatherings, therefore, teach
lesson in current politics, aS well as give
amusement To the governing classss Of demu,,-
ray.
In the contest between low neck and high
nerk dresses II may be said that the repub-
llCan laiI,S Of France rather lean toward the
high neckS. By this | do not mean to say
that you do not find bare shoulders at the re-
cePtIuns and balls which have Just been dwelt
upon On the contrary. the large ma jurity of
the ladies present would almost put to the blush
Adam and Eve after the memorable apple
scene. But when you compare the ladies Of
one Of these republican gatherings To the
ladies found in the drawing room of the noble
arlSt"cratS, you then SEE what progress has
been made 10y the former toward hanishing
the mud" from society. From this point Of
view 1t may te a good thing that the fashion
able arist""rats stay away from republican
entertainments If they continue to do So for
a few more years, and if the republic does not
fall IN the meanwhile, who knows but that
the hlSh-neck'd dress may finally get the
upper hand and rrlegate It's rival to the bal
let and the b"dies Of the dem monde If this
occurs in Paris the low neck cause will BE-
lost throughout the whole world, for the
French capital is still the pope of fashion.

None the less sweetly shrill the thr ushes

None the less swiftly snowy blossoms
fall
On slim young grasses and buds mani

Where kingcups raise their chalices OF

As tender breezes drift the hawthorn's

Or royalty are large white clouds en-

Where up the azure mighty branches

No shadow falls of days degenerate
They reckon but by seasons change the

Here the vain babbhngs OF uDlovely

MonrOe'S monument is made Of iron lattice
stone. 1t represents a temple, and looking
through the barS You Sse a great gray granite
SarcUphaEus in which the body of the dead
president repOss. 1t seems To me that the
monument would look much better without
the iron temple about it. Iron is too cheap
looking for n tombstone, and the only endur-
ing monument should be made Of bronze OF
granite. Marble decays and grows rusty in
our climate, and a stone dealer once told me
that granite would stand acid for 900 years
which would eat up marble in a day.
Monru"s career is an example Of the in
gratitude Of republics He served his Coun-
try all his life and died a pauper. He was in
the revolutionary war, entering the army at
l., and during the remainder of his life he
was almost continuously III the public service.
He was minister to France, governor of Nir-
ginia. secretary Of state minister to England
and for eight years president Of the United
States. During the SIX Years after he left
the White House he had not money enough To
