jefferson Davis their first object in
this direction, but should rather first
aid in the erection of "one grend-
monument to be erected, we pre-
sumo, either in Richmond or New
Orleans. We dissent from this view
1t is sacred duty and we doubt
not it will be equally pleasure for
the people of this State TO place a
monument in Jackson in memory of
Mississippi's Greet patriot, states
man and mariyr which snail be
worthy of him, his people and the
cause for which they Suffered IN
common.
"We regret TO nose that here is
tendency in some sections of the
South to collect funds for the erec-
ton of a purely local monument 10
Jefferson Davis. If these efforto
were subsidiary to the project of one
! grand, single monument TO the hero
of the Confederacy, there would be
no cause for regret But they seem
to be in lieu Of the larger undertake
ing, and for that reason should, we
think, be discouraged.
The people of Jackson, 81 S., have
organized with a view TO secr ;-ig :
monument for the capital o., of
Mississippi, aud have adopted the
following resolutions;
! Whereas, it is confidently expected
by the people of Mississippi, that The
honored rem iils of ex- .es!den
Davis will finally rest In thei State,
which he has honored so often ,:ld
who esteemed the privilege OF honor
ing him while living, aud who will
ever cherish his memory W h fee n.,5
of love aud affection; heieioia DC u
Resolved, That It ,ho ere 81

Jeff Davis Monumental Association,
I the duty of which 1t shall be To tai;e
such steps as may he necessary 10
secure the erection of monument
on the Capitol grounds ia tue City OF
Jackson, to commemorate the high
character of our beloved chieftain as
a soldier, patriot and statesmen, near
which it is earnestly desired that his
remains will ultimately rest.
Resolved further, That the Leg s-
lature, which is soon to assemble, be
memoralized to make an appropiia-
ton of 100000 to aid in carrying
into effect the object of these resolu-
tons"
This is division of effol5 which
should be concentrated toward the
erection of single magnificent me
mortal to the ex-President Of The
COnfederacy The first ching 10 be
done is to secure by popular sdb-
scription a fund sufficient for the
purpose, and only then to discuss the
matter of a site. In truth, the
wishes of Mrs. DAVIS and Der daugh-
ter should be respected IN The selec-
tiUn of a locality for the monumeni,
and the rivalry of cities and States
should play no part in reaching a
conclusion.
1t is matter of sincere regret TO
all who have at heart the erection OF
a monument to Jefferson Davis that
at the very inception of the under
taking there should be a division OF
effort.
The Mississippi capitol, it seems
to us, should first subscribe to tie
general monument fund, and then
devote its attention TO The local test.

ty by the authorities at Angouleme, who
committed the arrest of himself and NJ.

Chamber decide, but thought it would be
best to postpone the question and thus pre-
vent delay in the consideration of the bud
get. After a stormy scene the Chamber
voted the -postponement of the interpella-
ton by 302 to 232.
The Government being of opinion that
the sentences against NJ. M. Deroulede and

a new trial.

and places and help will be found
for all who apply, as rapidly as
possible. Patronage in these mat

"Resolved. That a young man
can cook a better dinner than a
girl can mend a hole in the fence"
was the subject discussed near Keys
port, recently. The decision was
unsatisfactory, SO a practical test of
the question was made. Two young
men cooked a few oysters, but they
sailed them with sugar and spoiled
two pairs of eight dollar trousers,
Then the young ladies tried to
mend the hole in the fence, One
of them mashed her finger with the
Ratchet, but she couldn't swear, SO
she had to retire. Warned by
her experience, the other lady stuck
the nail to the board with her chew
ing gum and then threw the Ratchet
at it, but at the first effort the
Ratchet flew behind her and killed
valuable calf. The momentous
question is still undecided, SC. saith
an exchange.

The Johnstown horror still contin-
ues to occupy the public mind.
While the terrible calamity cannot
be retrieved, yet it cannot be over
much dwelt upon. 1t will lead TO
examinations where there may now be
danger, and greater precautions in the
future. A dozen or more Chicago
ministers last Sunday preached sermons
on the Johnstown disaster. A cor
respondent Of the Sentinel says:
1.-THE prevalent public sentiment
was expressed most strongly perhaps
by the Rev J L WiGhrow, pastor of
the Second Presbyterian church, one
of the largest congregations in the
West He declared that the calamity
could not be classed as an "act of
God,' and the responsibility laid on
the Almightg He said in substance
that the real burden of blame pressed
upon the shoulders of the Pittsburg
club, whose thoughtless selfshness was
more concerned in maintaining a
pleasure resort than in the safety of
thousands of their fellowmen.

John Dillon

Monday Eve. June II. This
popular Comedian will appear at
Opera House in his new play.
"a Sky Scraper." The following
from the Des Moines Register:
Not since his appearance here a
year ago has Fosters coy theatre
contained such a mass of humanity
as that which assembled last even
ing to witness the second perform
ance in this city of his new farce
comedy. "a Sky Scraper or Den
mis- O'Dowd." Throughout his en-
tire career Mr.. Dillon has been a
never-failing source Of amusement
to theatre-goers, and his years of
experience have served, as they
should, simply to ripen and perfect
his art. Gifted with mind keenly
sensitive to the humorous in life, he
has sought to amuse, rather than
instruct. He has never depicted
the cruelties, trials and troubles of
life; never brought shadows, but
sunshine; never claimed a tear, but
smile as his reward, and SO at his
coming, from our shops and coun-
ter, from our mills and busy marts
of trade we assemble to laugh away
and forget our cares. Judged from
this standpoint the comedian last
evening must be credited with full
filling his mission and the play
voted with grand success. It is
one CT those com1cal creations that
defes all rules of criticism, but you
will laugh. The fun commenced
wittl O'Dowd's first appearance and
increased in violence until the cur
tain went down on the last act Of a
delighted audieace.
''For a long time | had no appetite, was
restless at night, and very much debilita-
ted. After taking two bottles of Ayers
Sarsaparilla, my strength and appetite
returned, and my health was completely
restored. I'd. M. Ficher, Oswego, N. Y.
