DAVIS AND BEAUREGARD.
The Differences Between the Two--A Mere
nIisunderstnnding..

| The Differences Between the Two--A Mere
nIisunderstnnding.:
New YORK, December 25.-Mr. George
Cary Eggleston has written for the
World an article covering different Incl.
dents in the career of Jefferson Davis
Writing of the differences between the
Confederate President and General Beau.
regard, Mr., Eggleston gives the follow.
ing: :,
The absence of Gen. Beauregard's
name from the list of Southerners who
took prominent part in the obsequies OF
Mr.. Jefferson Davis recalls the long en-
nifty between the two men. It seems to
me matter of curious interest that the
bitserest point of the quarrel probably
arose from so slight thing as the mis-
placing of punctuation mark in the
transmission of a dispatch by telegraph.
As nobody, so far as l know, has ever
directed attention to the matter, and as
neither Mr.. Davis nor Gen. Beauregard
seems ever to have discovered the'cause
of the misunderstanding, it is worth
while, peahaps, to point it out.
After the retirement of Beauregard's g
army from Corinth to 1opelo, Beauregard
went away to recover his health and Mr..
Davis placed Gen. Bragg in command.
Beauregard bitterly resented this as an
affront. Davis justified his act on the
ground that, without asking leave, the
General was at the time "about to leave
on surgeons certificate for four months" "
Beauregard's inspired biographer, Col.
Alfred Roman, charges Mr.. Davis, by
implication, at least, with falsehood IN
making this statement, and cites Besure-
CARDS dispatch to the adjutant-general,
as follows:
general Bragg has just Communicated
to me telegram sending him to relieve,
temporarily, Gen'l Lowell. His presence
here l consider indispensable, at this mo-
ment especially, and am Leaving for a
while on surgeons certificate. For four
months I have disobeyed their urgent
recommendations in that respect. de-
sire to be back here to take the offensive
as soon as our forces shall have peen suf-
fcieutly reorganized. I must have q
short rest"
Col. Roman says of the dispatch:
"We Ask the reader to examine its
phraseology carefully and say whether
it could be so construed as to canvey the
idea that Gen'l Beauregard was about to
leave on surgeons certificate for four
months"
The candid reader will certainly answer
YES, if he remembers that the dispatch
went to Mr.. Davis by wire, and observes
that the transpositlon of a period moi
only renders such construction possible,
| but makes that the evident meaning o!
the message. Gen. Beauregard wrote
II am leaving for while on physician
certificate. For four months / have de-
layed," sc. AS Mr.. Davis received the
dispatch it evidently read: 81 am leaV
| ing for while on surgeons certificate
for four months. I have delayed" &c
| A comparison of the dispatch as SEN
and the dispatch as received would have
shown both men that mere mlsnnder
standing had occurred through very
simple error iu the telegraphic transmls
sion. But no such comparison wrs made
and each suspected the other Of dellber

CHARLESTON, Dec. 25.-The engine
drawing a train on the Charleston and
Savannah railway, which left here
las; night, plunged into the Ashepoo
river on it's way to Savannah. When
the train was nearing tie Ashepoo
bridge the engineer discovered that
the draw was not in position. he
mistook the distance, however, and in.
another second the train was at the
gap. The engineer and fireman saved
themselves by jumping from the cab.
bu. the locomotive and two cars were
plungsd into the river. The engine is
still in the river. The bex cars were
burned, the fire originated from lime
which was in the forward car. The

cerned, is estimated at $4,000. The
engine and cab will be recovered.
Trains are now running through.
Nobody was hurt.

MORMON MONEY.
Tho Curious Currency Used By the Latter

From tho st. Louis Globe-pemocrat.

the sithing house you will see a tau

The man glances through the window,
then looks down at the bills and ther
goes on thumbing them like bank tel
! Ter. He goes to aud from q big safe,
carrying bundles done up just as bills are
with little bands of brown paper pinned
, about them.
Sometimes the young man doesn't stop
to count, bat takes the amount on the
brown slip as correct and passes out the
mouey. It is the tithlns scrip. 1t IS
used to facilitate the handling Is the
grain and bay and live stock and produce

these, you will find it very much like
bank note in appearance. In one upper
corner is the number of the bill. In the
lower left hand corner is the hoe signo
of Mormonism, bee. bive.
The face of the bill reads: General
tithing storehouse. Good only for mer-

The bills vary in color,
There are greeDbacks for one depart

The Farmers OrgnniZntioa.

Mr.. William A. PETER, editor of the
Kansas Farmer, has made a stvdy of
The extent to which the farmers are
organized into alliances, wheels, gran
ecs and other such bodies. He has
brought together the statistics of the
membership of each of these organiza-
tions, and has collected facts bearing
on their methods and purposes which
show that the agriculturists are in a
much more complete state of organiza-
ton than they have ever been before,
for the present associations far out
number the membership of the old
grange, and their growth shows a
greater spontaniety and clearer pur-
pose than was shown by the grange.
Of the 4,50O, 900 farmers in the United
States at least l 100000 are organized, |,
and movement is on foot to conso-
lidate all existing organizations and
extend them, whereby the organizers
expect n a brief period to include in
this consolidation not less than 4,0OO,-
900 farmers. Some of these assocla-
tions have organized in the Southwest,
some in other parts of the South and
some in the West. Their general pur'
pose is so to impress the Importance
of the agricultural interests as tc
cause other interests to pay greater
heed to the farmer. The complaint O.
all these organizations is in substance
that the middlemen and money-lend
ers have, in one way or another, grea
advantage over the farmer, which ad
vantage has been used to his impover
ishment. All these organization ar
secret, and although in purely loca
sense none of them is political, IN
larger sense they all have politica
significance, inasmuch as they all lool
forward to an opportunity for to
farmers vote to change Legislation

THE COTTON BALE.

There Is Danger OF its Growing Too
Large.
The compilation of Dir. Henry G. Hes
ter. Secretary of the New Orleans Cot
ton Exchange, of the average weight OF
cotton bales handled this year, gives
some idea Of their rapid growth, and IS
is quite evident that unless some meant
can be found for preventing the bales
from growing larger, they will soon be-
come very unwieldly. The cotton bale
was supposed, at one time, to average
45O pounds. 1t has grown, however,
from year to year to 46O, 470 and 4So
pounds. For some two or three years
past it has nearly reached 500 pounds, but
never quite got TO that point. In 1886,
ap to this date, the average weight was
493t pounds; in 1887, 4sG pounds; IN
1888, 400 2 5 pounds. This year it has
taken q big spring farward, ond aver
ages 5O54 pounds to date. During Sep
tember it reached the maximum of 5O5s
pounds, and in Texas 5S2 pounds, OF
twelve pounds more than three years ago:

.sResoived, That the committee Oh
foreign relations be instructed to inquire
into the e1ped;ency and practicability of

they further inquire how far aud IN
what manner the Government OF the

to aid the freedmen Of the United

enigrate thereto and settle therein, ano
to establish system of common schoo
education; and to report BY bill O.
otherwise"

men of both parties in Congress, and it

A New Method Of Treating Disease.
A0SpITAl REME DlES,

What are they? There is new de-
parturc in the treatment OF disease. 1t
consists in the collection of the specifics
used by noted specialists of Europe and
America, and bringing them within the
reach of all. For instance the treatment
pursued by special physicians who treat
Indigestion, stomach and liver troubles
only, was obtained and prepared. The
treatment of other physicians, celebrated
for curing catarrh was procured, and so
on till these incompatible cures now in
clude disease of the lungs, kidneys, female
weakness, rheumatism and nervous Gebil-
itv.
This new method of zone remedy for
one disease" must appeal to the common .
sense of all sufferers, many Of whom have
experienced the i'll effects, and thorough
ly realize the absurnity of the claims of
Patent Medicines which are guaranteed
to cure every i'll out of a single bottle,
and the use of which, as staff Tics prove,
has ruined more stomachs than alcohol.
A circular describing these new remedies
is sent free on receipt of stamps to pay
postage by Hospital Remedy Company
