WEDNESDAY was day of mourning throughout the South. The people gave vent to an outbarst of grief over the death of their cieftan, Jefferson Davis. He was buried in New Orleans at noon, and the people throughout the south closed their doors and joined in the funeral obsequies. Perhaps no man was ever more sincerely mourned than the venerable ex-president of the Confederate States, who stands today for all that goes to make the patriot and statesman. With his suflerings and sacrifices we arc all familiar. The tribute of tears is freely given from hearts that loved and honored and trusted him through all the darksome days of a natioa's.dire disaster. What reck we that the small-souled republic ans of the North leap, ghoul-like, into the new-made grave and vent their brutish malice upon the dead? We can afford to treat their acts with the speeches. contempt they deserve. knowing that our chief was as far above them in all the attributes of manhood as the heavens are above earth. God pity the heart that has fallen so low xs to deride dead enemy. The name of Jefferson Davis will live in history as one of the greatest characters of mod ern times. as it now lives in the love of the peorle for and with whom he suf- fered.

Bill Nye and the Death Rate.

From the Minneapolis Tribune.
Bill Nye was lecturing in Pennsylvania short
time ago with James Whitcomb Riley. At one
Of his appointments Mr.. Nye, so it is said, felt
very much depressed 1t is a popularity of humor-
lists to be melancholy at times. One of the com
iuittee went back of the scenes to see him, and
the de pressed humorist welcomed him as a
scene of unusual good sunshine. They shook
hands-Nye earnestly, the committeeman de-
corously.
Mr.. Nye," he said gravely, you will find
this q y unner7llv healthy city"
"Ahr' said the humorist.
u %; the IcttL only one day"
At this juno ture Nye took the committeeman
by h. arm and hurriedly asked:
SIS he dead?'
"Deadr' calculated the committeeman, ''who
dead?"
why, the man for to-day" was the grave
reply.
The committeeman stared with all his might
into the immovable face of the lecturer
Isn't there clerk, or register, or coroner
or something like that, of whom you could fluid
out whether a man for to-day has -diedg"
why, yes, suppose SO" slowly replied the
committeeman.
Would you be so good, then, as to find out
and before commence the lecture if possible,
whether the man is dead? II he is dead am
all right for we leave the city early tomorrow
morning; but if he is not dead l can not but
feel uneasy about myself, as am not well to-
night"
The ind-hearted committeeman hurried
away to get the information,
When Nye and Riley were in their room that
night a bell-boy told Nye that gentleman
wished to see him. He went down to the par
Tor of the hotel and there met the committee
man.
Il am sorry to disturb You. Mr.. Nye, he said
but | could not get the Information earlier
1t is all right. That death rate spoke of was
only an average, and man died this morning :"

The First Parting.

From the Philadelphia Times.
Come, Eva. kiss mamma good night and &c
with nurse to bed.
What! tears? for shame! a moment since you
would be good you said;
You're quite too big grille now to sleep in ba
by's place,
school with Grace;
So kneel beside me, darling, here, and say your
prayers, and
VIII sing that little hymn you love. of guarding
angels nigh;
And when the brides wake you up, tell Mary
you may run
To have a romp in mammals bed; Just think
what lots OF fun!'
The mother in the morning came, in longing
anxious mood;
With tnrobbing heart and dewy eyes, beside the
bed she stood,
Where Eva still slept soundly, her arms en-
bracing tight
The gown her mother wore when she had
kissed her pet good night.
Its ribbons with her silent tears were stained
and limp and wet,
Around the white and dimpled neck an empty
sleeve was set;
While Mary slept she stole away, ere dawn had
lit the sky,
That something of her idol near her sinless
breast might lie,
Unheeded save by him who marks each grief
endured alone
She sought and found her solace for the first
that she had known.

A New Democratic Congressman

FROM the NetC York Tribune.
Among the many visitors in Washington this
week was Col Jason B. Brown, who was
elected to congress last November in the Third
District of Indiana to succeed Mr.. Howard. AS
an orator. Col Brown has a great reputation
out In Hoosierdom, and the people right around
in his neck of woodS-at least the democrats
think there is no one living who can touch him
on a stump speech. They are expecting big
things of him when he makes his bow in CON
gress.
An Indianian told a story here the other day
which is fair sample of the reputation enjoyed
by the new congressman as a stump speaker.
The democrats of one of the senatorial districts
in Indiana nominated an old merchant of large
means who had always been noted for his
snTewdneSS in trading but who was dreadfully
lacking in forensic ability. His republican op-
poneEt determined to have joint discussions on
The stump with him, or know the reason why.
He therefore informed the merchant that he
expected to meet him on the stump and discuss
state issues. The old fellow was visibly agi-
lated, but he finally put on bold front and
said:
go right ahead and arrange the time and
place for each meeting. | am ready for you. l
will leave it to you to fix everything"
When the programme was arrnged the
merchant said: well, my good christian
friend, you certainly don't expect me to speak
at all those meetings Col. Jason Brown has
kindly consented to do the talking for me- and
he says he is really
The young fellow WINGED and said he did not
propose to meet Jason Brown, so the dates were
Cancelled, and when the election was over the
old merchant chuckled and declared to his
friends that he had never had a word of CONVEX
sation with Jason Brown about taking a hand
in the fight.
