Letter Written by Mr.. Davis.

The following is an exact copy
of a letter written by the late
Hon. Jefferson Davis to Mr.. Jas. ]. M.
Smith, of Burnet, Texas. 1t is full of
noble thoughts and sentiments, and
therefore suitable to be reproduced
here and now:
BEAUvoIR, Miss, April II, 1887.
Mr.. JAS. ]. NJ. SMITH:
My Dear Sir:-Accept my thanks for your
cordial letter of the 3rd inst.
The instinct of your true heart justly told
you that your remembrance of an act of
kindness, so small that it was entirely for
gotten by me, W Juld be very cheering in
this hour of misfortune and life's decay.
1t is not always that services that cost
much are remembered with friendly regard
by those by whom they were rendered.
Amongst our people have little of which
to complain. and there has seldom, if ever
before, been PROSTATE leader whose hands
were so upheld by those who had been
alike sufferers in his defeat. Your remarks
with regard to our cause are eminently
sound, and nothing to me has been more
gratifying than to find such sentiments an
enduring essence in the hearts and minds
of our people. Confident in the eternity
of truth, still hope for the principles. for
which we contended and that the govern
ment will again sooner or later return to
the course designed by those who originally
organized it.
Enclosed l send you photograph that
you may show to your children the face of
the man that you remember when we stood
shoulder to shoulder to maintain the right
that our fathers left us.
With best wishes for you and yours, l am
Very truly your friend,
JEFFERSON DAVIS.

Failing 10000 Feet.

Sailing upward ten thousand feetin
a balloon, stepping out and falling to
the earth as gently as falls the snow
flake, is considered remarkable feat.
But to cure what for centuries has
been considered an incurable disease
is an infinitely greater feat. The an
Gent terror Of the race-Consumption
is forced to yield to the curative
agency of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery, if it be taken in time and
given a fair trial. The hacking cough,
hectic flush, hurried breathing and
other premonitory symptoms should
be needed before it is too late. By the
use of "Golden Medical Discovery"
every function of the system is reused
to healthy action, the blood is purified,
digestion and nutrition improved, the
strength and flesh built up and all the
distressing forerunnersof Consumption
disappear. 1t is guaranteed to benefit
or cure if taken in time or money paid
for it will be refunded.

EXECUTIVE OFFICE.

The governor yesterday pardoned
David Smith, of Bastrop county, con-
vlcted of murder in the second degree
IN 1875, and sent to the penitentiary
Tor five years. This, in some respects
is a singular case. Smith in diff
Guilty killed one man, was tried and
sent up for five years. Shortly after
reaching the state prison he was
placed at work in a saw mill, on the
outside of the prison. One evening
/ he and another convict at the hour of
\ leaving off work missed their guard.
y hey searched for him but he could
Mot be found. He had deserted his
post and Smith and his comrade con-
cluded they would escape, and they
did.
Smith made his way to Denton
county, where he secured work, and
some time afterwards married. He
formulated some property married
and has raised an interesting family,
and has led sober, industrious life,
gaining the respect and esteem of all
his neighbors. But Notwithstanding
his prosperity and the happiness of
his family, cloud has lowered over
him. He was an escaped convict and
at any time was liable to be arrested
and returned to the state prison. He
thought the matter over and talked
it over with his wife, and the result
was he determined to surrender
himself to the state and about a
month ago he went to the Huntsville
prison, made himself known and sur
rendered. Petitions signed by the
leading citizens of Denton, Dallas and
Bastrop counties were Immediately
sent to the governor asking for par
don. and yesterday it was granted and
under the circumstances it was emf
nently proper. Smith was never
murderer at heart and during all the
years of his escape he has been an
honorable and upright citizen.
John Nelson, of Archer county, was
also pardoned by the governor yester-
day.
