QUICK WAY TO SETTLE 1T.

Farmers! The next time a self
appointed solon gives you his sage
advice upon how to practice economy,
ask him to compare his personal and
family expenses with yours. This will
close the discussion, and at the same
time relieve you of the presence of a

EDITORS HRRALD-There are two mis-
statements made in the obituaries pub
lished of the late Jefferson Davis:
First. Lieutenant Davis did not elope
with Miss Taylor, daughter of the then
Colonel, afterwards General Taylor. He
married Miss Taylor against her fathers
wishes, at the house of General Taylor's
nephew, who was the son of General
Taylor's brother, General OF the war OF
1872, at Louisville, Kentucky.
Second, Colonel Davis and his regi
ment had greatly distinguished them
selves in the engagements at what lie
known as the "Battle of Monterey"-not.
ably at "Queens' Bridge" and "Sugar-
Mill Battery" He charged with his reg
iment, which was armed with the va
ger rife, an arm without bayonets, into
the center of Monterey, and lost many
mon in doing 30. A day or two after
wards, while riding from camp into Mon
terey with an escort of twenty men of my
regiment, myself being of the number,
while passing General Taylor's head
quarters at Walnut Spring, on the road
Colonel Davis stopped to give his
official report of his part in
the battle to General Taylor's
Adjutant General. General Taylor
came out of his marque, aud, approach
ing Colonel Davis, embraced him, say
ing, my son, you have proved yourself
to be man." The scene was affecting,
and if any of the escort are now alive
they will remember it. / saw it and
heard it. The reconciliation was COM
plete, and Taylor was ever afterwards
proud of his son. More-at Buena
Vista Colonel Davis remained in the
saddle, though badly wounded and weak
ened by the loss Of blood. until the fight
was over, immortalizing himself and

Laid as Tributes ON she Chicftain,s
Tomb.
The following are few of the many
tributes which have reached the HERALD
Office from the hearts of those who in
life admired Jefferson Davis and in death
mourn him:
-Abide with me; fast falls the eyentide. :.
The darkness oeepens; Lord with me abide
The world Of thought and opinion
moves as well as the world of matter.
The years are in the shades of the past
when mankind could not give utterancs
to their honest thoughts, and the name
of Jefferson Davis must go into history
as one who had the courage Of his con-
victions aud declsrsd them. With his
demise departs the last vestige of cause
which is known amidst the history OF
the nations of the world as being irre-
frievably gone, but his value to the
United States of America in the past is
unquestioned, the record he made as an
officer in the United States army, his
career as Secretary of War, and
his services to his country
upon all occasions call for the
plaudits of all true Americans.
If he was in error in the great struggle Of
his life, he suffered for it, and the Deity
itself to whom we pray, "Give us this
day our daily Bread" says to US, "As
you are strong, be merciful." In his
grave his name will be often in the hearts
Of those he loved and left, of those who
often hear the footsteps of return. EVERY
life, no matter if its every hour was rich
with love, and every moment jeweled
with q joy will at its close become q
tragedy as sad and deep and dark, as
can be woven of the warp and woof ol
mystery and DEATH" This brave and
tender man in every storm of life was
oak and rock, but in the sunshine he was
love and flower. Hear him but say
'sFor Justice, all place temple
and all season summer" and you would
have loved the man.
His creed was that the most sacred
sdifice ever reared was home; the most
sacred altar, the freside. Gentle, unas-
suming, dignifed, true to his family
honest in his convictions, and above all
things strict believer in his church and
his God was jefferson Davis, and with
this tribute let us consign him with peace
and good will to that "bourne from

The death of Jefferson Davis i
one of the most conspicuous event
of this century. Neither the low
Of friends nor the hatred of enemies cal

eminent American will occupy in history
The years of our civil war and tht
passions they engendered are yet too re

President of the Coniederacy. Humar

moral height where truth illumines the

It is crying shame how much narrow
minded people enjoy giving the South
little slaps on every possible occasion.
It is coming to such a pass that even
ministers in their pulpits think their SER
mon incomplete if they fail to refer to
this unhappy section. They utter de.
nunciations against it with sneering en-
phasis and wicked vindictiveness, which
is reflected sometimes ten.fold in the
countenances of their flock, little think
ing or caring how the words wound and
cut into some loyal southern heart that
may be among their congregation.
just now when our country is mourn
ing the death of brave and noble
leader, public speakers and ministers
seem to take additional delight in cast
ing reflections and giving utterance to
unchristianiike sentiments against this,
our hero. He was q brave and worthy
man, and although full of faults, as we
all are, should be entitled to at least re-.
spect, and if not respect, consider
alton Of the feelings of those
who feel this bereavement should
prevent such unkind illusions. Every
true southerner will admit that his coun.
try was in the wrong, that it was in dis.
obedience to the Government, but how
bravely and manfully the Confederate
soldiers supported this cause which they
believed to be rightl Let it not be said
that they were not actuated by right
principles, that they were not entitled to
respect and consideration, and moved by
fhn Inftinct mr. nkiua That H.
human heart-the protection of home
and country! Bravely and heroically
they fought through miserable suffering
and hunger and upheld their cause as
nobly as any Union soldier.
Isit right, then, is it christianlike for
our public men on every possible occa-
sion to bring up memories long buried,
and to wound the hearts and add a
deeper furrow to the care-worn
cheek of old mothers who lost their
dear boys; to give additional pain
to children who we're bereaved of loved
and cherished fathers, or to wives whose
silver hairs tell of the tragic death of
idolized husbands? Is it right to con-
tinually refer to this? No; it is base
and cruel; the lost cause is lost forever !;
the old feuds are buried in the graves of
their supporters. Then let the memory
OF the brave ones who died 80 heroically
be sacred in the hearts of those who love
them and their country, and let every
true citizen of this grandest republic OF
the world be generous and noble enough
10 think with equal impartiality, equal
charity and brotherly love of the "boy
in blue" ana the "boy in gray"
