A HISTORICAL INCIDENT.

Manacling the Ex-President OF the
Southern COnfedsracy-Mr Davis In
Irons.
GA Citizen" writes to the Baltimore
Sun the following reminiscence of the
treatment of ex-Prssident Davis at
Fortress Monroe twenty-one years ago:
The ceremonies at Montgomery, Ala,
on Wednesday last, and the illusions
made by Gen. John B. Gordon in his ora
ton there to the Imprisonment OF Mr.
Davis at Fortress Monroe in 1865, revives
some incidents rarely now mentioned.
but, nevertheless, of rare historical inter-
est, and belonging to both the period and
the subject, they may now be truthfully
related.
An eyewitness, engaged there in the
ordnance department at the fortress,
now a resident and attached to the police
department OF Baltimore, says that when
Mr.. Davis landed from the gunboat on
the government wharf the guard that re-
ceiYed MIN kept back the lHokers-on to a
distance while they conducted the prls-
oner 10 the interior Of the fOrtifcation and
to the casemate assigned for his iucarce-
ration. Soon after he was lodged there the
officer Of the day called and advised him
that orders had been received from Wash
ingtOn to place him in irons, and asked
him TO submit by lying PROSTATE on the
cot then within the casemate. Mr. Da-
Wis, with some vehemence. objected, and
asked that the order should be read to him.
This was done, and he still refused,
and declared that the manacles
should only be placed on him by force.
The blacksmith was then present with tue
leg-irons, aud a soldier, being so ordered,
placed his musket across the breast Of tue
prisoner, pressed him TO and then down
on the cot. While held in that position
the smith rlyeted the irons on the ankles,
and the prisoner, thus secured, was
locked in the casemate. A day or so fol-
lowing orders came from Washington TO
remove the manacles, aud soon after
wards to open tue door. aud finally TO
allow Mr.. Davis TO exercise himself by
limited walks within the grounds. The
order 70 iron was issued, IL was said, by
Secretary Stanton, and the preparations
to do so were all made prior To the
arrival of the gunboat. President John
son issued the ameliOrating orders that
followed.

Not An Arr Centre.
From the Ye.a York Times.


Nobody pretends to call the national
capital an art centre. But several ar
lists of note have found their way here
this seassn. One has had an experience
that has given him any thing but favor
able impression of American manners,
The artist is German, we'll known among
the first portrait painters OF Europe,
where bis portraits OF crowned heads ere
considered very good reference. lie came
to Washington not to solicit favor, but
commissioned 10 paint the portrait OF a
prominent officer, that is to be used in
forthcoming naval history. To be fully
appreciated, his interviews with his DIS
tinguished sitter should be given in his
own English, that is rounded up with the
German accent. "Why is it your gentle
men not act like gentlemen! l call st de
house, but leave my letter. / must come
another time, am he cannot see me. |
come another, and it is de same. l come
several time, and then when | meet de
gentleman he make me feel like one beg
gar. no beg-tO paint de
his book wish me to. De gentleman Of
ticer never ask me to sit down. He speak
so cross, aud be look at me so he look
some Deggar. When paint de Emperor,
he is to me just like he is TO other gentle
men in his court. He is polite. like gen.
tleman, an he ask me TO sit down. An
50 de same when l paint de Prince Of
Wales familee. But your officer is not
such men. He make me much trouble.
He sometimes say he would not sit at all.
An to get de uniform; his son put on his
fathers coat, and paint it on him. For
that | do not care. IG is dat same coat
and all right. But de officer, he make me
much trouble, and no gentleman ever
speak lise him to me before. | never
paint a gentleman in my life who not ask
me to sit in his house, an ! have been
many time in palace, in many palace,
too. De biggest man in my country alway
de grand gentleman. In your country,
de big officer not de gentlemans." 1t was
gently hinted to the artist that the officer
was little cranky, but all right at heart.

WRECKED BY A COW.
An Engine and 20 Cars Plunge Down

An Engine and 20 Cars Plunge Down
an Embanknent Near Lumber City.
LUMBER CITY, GA, May 7.-Engine
No. IL. on the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia railroad, left Macon at /
o'clock yesterday afternoon with 20
cars loaded with freight for Savannah and
Bruswck. The train was in charge OF
John Goodwin, OF Richmond, Va, con-
ductor, Charles Muldowney, of Rich
mond, Va, engineer, and Henry Mckay,
OF Nashville, Tenn, fireman. The train
passed this place shortly after O'CLOCK
last night. When two miles east of here
on a curve the engine struck COW on
the track and was deraied. After run
ming about 100 yards, the engine, followed
by four cars, plunged 20 feet down an
embankment on the south side of the
track and are a complete wreck, the en-
gino being deeply embedded I'm the sand.
The two cars following the engine were
loaded with lumber, and the prom ptness
Of the engineer aud fireman in withdraw
ing and eXtinguishing the fires alter the
accident alone prevented cOnGagratiOn
which would probably have destroyed the
entire train.
The third and fourth cars were loaded
with lamp posts and machinery from the
Tanner u Delaney Engine Company, of
Richmond, Va, for the Brunswick gas
works. The cars are badly broken up
but the freight Is uniniured. >
Before punging down the embaukment
the engine plOwed over the cross-ties tor
a distance Of 100 yards, tearing up the
road-bed and track.
Tne escape OF the engineer and fireman
from Instant death Is miraculous Tho
former ordered his fireman to Jump as
soon as he discovered his engine derailed,
and did not himself make the leap for life
until his engine was descending the en-
bankment His presence of mind saved
the lives OF himself and fireman.
Travel was delayed about twelve hours
by the accident, passengers, express mat
ter and baggage, north and south bound,
having to be transferred at the scene of
the wreck. Many Of the passengers bound
North and West were eXcursionsts from
the Centennial who left Savannah last
night.
A wrecking train with force OF men
from Macon will have the track clear of
distinctions before morning. The colli-
sion killed the COW.

Money I'm Berries.

From the Green core Fld.) Spring.
A representative of this paper was re-
Gently at Orange PARK, and was much in
terested in an explanation OF the methods
adopted by the Fruit Growers Associa-
ton to market their crops to the best ad =
vantage. Very few orange trees at this
locality have as yet come into bearing,
and the principal industry is the grow.
ing OF strawberries and vegetables.
The Fruit Growers Association has
built convenient packing house at
the railroad station, abutting upon side
track, and for some weeks past large
shipments OF strawberries have been sent
forward 10 Northern points by Mr.. Evans,
WHO'S in charge OF the establishment.
The season opened much later than usual,
and the prices obtained have not been
up 10 the average Of former years,
but still they have been very remun-
eratiye, even now berries going for
ward are expected to yield from
10 cents TO II cents per quart
to the shipper. OF course these are
free from unripe or inferior berries, but
successful growers cannot complain of
these prices. The berries are packed
into TefrigerRting boxes, each box
containing 800 pounds OF ice
aud the larger proportion goes TO New
York by the Ocean Steamship Company
the route as often as may be necessary.
The shipments OF tomatoes aud other
vegetables will soon begin, and a large
business in these is anticipated.
IL IL a matter ~ surprise that SO little
Is done IN these industries in the imme-
diate vicinity OF Green Cove. There is
much land near our town peculiarly we'll
adapted for the grOwingoi vegetables aud
straw berries, but the owners OF small
BODIES or land seem 60 prefer employment
as skilled or ordinary wOrkmen, and very
few vegetables are grown beyond the
home consumption. The result Ia that
during the dun season in Florida many
men find difficulty in securing employ
ment.
