Jefferson Davis.

10 our Republican contemporaries
we suggest that the time is ill-cho-
sen for saying unpleasant things
about the late Jefferson Davis.
Hc was a man who was honorcd
and beloved by almost half tho coun-
try. That alone, among fratemal
people, is sufficient reason for refrain
ing from harsh comments on his life,
while yet sorrow is fresh in the hearts
of the people of the South. And to
say that Jefferson Davis was almost
universally beloved and respected in
the South is not to cast any imputa-
ton on the loyalty of the people Of
that section. lie was to them rep
rcscntativc-almost to the last-of a
cause which once had their passionate
devotion. They have long aban-
doncd that cause; buried it fathoms
deep; but looking upon the graves
that dot their hillsidcs, who can
blame them if tender memories still
cluster around it? And the circum
stances were such that these tender
memories seemed incarnatcd in the
figure of Jefferson Davis, stately and
digniticd even in its humiliation.
No man in American history, with
the possible exception of Benedict Ar
mold, has been subjected to so much
opprobrum. But surely in the hour
of his death we can do him the JUS
ticc that he was but the leader of his
people, no more culpablc than they.
How was he more blamcworthy than
thousands of others? lie was the
most conspicuous of the Southern
leaders, but only because he happen
cd to be the elected head of a govern
mcnt when the Southern people were
unanimous in supporting.
Jefferson Davis shared with all
the South the responsibility for Sc
ccssion, but it is not easy to see or
to say why he was worse than the
others. The war was ended long
ago, and by common consent the re-
united people are dwelling together
in brotherly love. Why single ont
one man and heap upon him the see
tional hatrcds that ought to he bu-
ricd?
This much can be said of JEFF
fcrson Davis. He was a gentleman.
No man, however bitter his political
animosity, ever went out from the
presence of this "man without a
country" without feeling impressed
with his gcntlcncss, courage, sinceri-
ty and personal honesty. Whatever
else he was, he was at least an hon
est and sincere man. He thoroughly
believed in the righteousness of the
cause he led.
Let jefferson Davis rest in peace.
Ills mistake was the mistake of the
whole South. And no man who
ever sang "Wc'll hang jeff Davis to
sour apple tree" ever wished him
a more ,orrowful fato than actually
bofoll him. Twenty years of oblitcr-
alton is no ligl. punishment for
man Of brilliant talents and high
political ambitions, - Boston Globc.

Antiquity Of Faith Cures.

The power of mind over body for dis
ease or for health is no new notion. The
medicine man has practiced for ages
among savage tribes. In the temples of
ancient paganism cures were wrought by
treatment which suggests an early form
OF mesmerism. A disease, which is an IL
fusion, may be cured by remedy which
is an Illusion. Imagination which cures
imaginative diseases, may aid in curing
most actual disease. Every physician
knows the Importance Of mental states in
curative processes Even q broken bone
will knit better under the influence of a.
happy mind. Cancer may be removable
only by knife, but the best plaster after:
ward is an easy mind. Cholera germs are
most actual physical forces, but they find
no condition for action in the man whose
nerves are braced by fearlessness. The
mind cure has systematized common sense
concerning mental influences on the BODY.
The philosophy of the power of mind over
matter is as old as Plato and the Hindoos.
1t is exaggerated and sometimes carica-
tured in the metaphysics of this new sys-
ten.-Rev. r. Heber Newton.

Bad Air in the Cities.

Large parts Of our town populations
never have sufficient oxygen; their lives
are feeble and full Of suffering, and num-
bers die before their time. Such facts are
dalnful to contemplate, but knowledge
OF them puts the wise man on his puard.
and he may do much for himself. In the
choice of house he will remember the
advantage Of great air space around it.
and of plenty of space within it, SO that
Dedrooms may not be overcrowded. Or.
II a Large house is beyond his means, he
Will take care that the rooms are not
crowded with furniture, for every piece of
furniture excludes an equal bulk of air.
When he enters the house he will see that
at all times as much fresh air from the
outside Is admitted, by means of open
doors and windows, as can be allowed
Without Inconvenience from cold; and as
often as possible he will have a blow
through, to clear out all odd corners
Wnere foul air may hnger. Pure air and
good food make pure blood, and only pure
blood will give good health.-Chambers

in Terror from Rats.
Miss Nina Trevelyan and her sister
Mamie, two young girls, left their

days ago, accompanied by gentle

expedition in the bay. Both ladies
were familiar with the use of shot
guns and anticipated pleasant time.
At 3 o'clock they procured sail

the blinds were ready for occupancy.
After sundown, when they had Sc

The night was bitter cold, and tho
gale high, but the girls never ex-
pressed any fear. They were seated
amidships, in heavy blankets that had
been used for blinds. No sign of hui
man habitation or civilization hove in
sight until after midnight, when
their craft ran into lot of anchored
skiffs. This brought them TO the
shore, where, at midnight, after being
exposed to the weather, they discov-
cred little cabin. in which they
found plenty of wood, and soon had a
cracking fire. but it was long time
before the half frozen ladies recovered.
Finding four hunks in the cabin they,
with much persuasion, were induced
to try to get little sleep Suddenly
piercing scream came from Miss
Nina, who sprang to tho center
of tho cabin, holding her skirts
high towards heaven. The other
young lady, frightened almost to
death, sprang from her bunk, receiv-
ing several severe contusions aud al

the trial of the new English Arm

We're quick to perceive It was found
that the proiectiles which could be
fired with such rapidity weighed no
less than IS pounds, and had veloc-
ity of 2,073 feet seconds, and were
capable of penetrating nine inches of
iron and two feet of oak and teak.
The whole weight of the gun is only
4,200 pounds.
Notwithstanding the efliciencys of
the 4.73 inch gun, it was decided to
