From letter 70 Her Mother
Soon After Her Fathers Death.

Extract From a Letter TO Her Mother
Soon After Her Fathers Death.
WASHINGTON, June 11.-Ex-C Congress
wan Wharton J. Green, of North Caro-
lima, has furnished for publication the
following extract from letter written
by Miss Winnie Davis, daughter of the
late Jefferson Davis. 1t was written to
her mother from Paris, France, about
two months after her fathers death:
The society of ordinary people is very
tiresome to me. think you and our
darlings have spoiled me for the little talk
and aims of the world. Somehow it is all
talk and no conversation. l remember
how we used to discuss the things that
were worth thinking about-things and
thoughts that would help me to live bet
ter and think higher but don't find that
atmosphere OF pure thinking and living
out in society. Do you suppose that politi-
cal expediency has permeated all the inner
world OF ideas or that we are really fallen
into decadence7 | have to believe that
perhaps it is the old order giving place to
the new, and before the socialism of the
next century. The over-developed indi-
vidualism and selfishness is necessary to
make smooth the road for the new politi-
cal gospel. 1t cannot be healthy develop
ment when the poor are starving at every
corner and the luxury of the rich
is eating into their lives until the
family relation, and with it all
spirituality, is crushed out by pure force
of unbridled excess of comfort. 1t may
be part of that Puritanism of which you
accuse me, but l do not think it half as
easy to lead a high life in the midst of
such luxury of comfort as invests the
modern interior as it was in the old-fash-
Toned houses where the Bible was the
chief ornament of the parlor Not that l
mean to say that ornamention is exactly
evil, or simplicity is alone necessary, or
luxury and religion antagonistic; only
somehow one grows to put false values on
things. and to be too bound by wants of
the body. The soul gathers spiritual dust
as the bric-a-brac does the actual dust
The fact is, am just in the frame of
mind to see more heroic sacrifice in the
life of Daniel than that of st. John. do
not wonder the great prophet went up
three times day to pray toward Jerusa-
lem. He must have been glad to leave the
of the court.

rot fail to revive in the minds of his friends
hnd admirers recollections of his unhappy
private life. Many years ago he married a
beautiful woman, but his domestic felicity
was of brief duration, for Mrs. Ruskin soon
secured divorce, and not long afterward
became the wife of Millais, the painter.
After this painful episode Mr. Ruskin
devoted himself solely to literature and
art. He was but "a years old when he
threw down the gauntlet to all the critics
in England, and virtually told them that
they did not know their profession. They
howled back at him, they abused him, they
scorned him, they laughed at him. But he
stood his ground, and pulled Justify
against the mighty current that set in
against him. The torrent ran fast, but it
didn't run long. Ruskin tried their criti-
cism by appealing to nature rs model for
art, while they depicted nature in accord
ance with certain school of painting.
Ruskin soon began to gather advocates,
and it was not long before he had effected
a revolution.
The tide that set ina tide that he had
turned-was one of extreme realism. He
went so far as to denounce Raphael's
Charge to Peter" on the ground that the
apostles are not dressed as men of that

our people have the most enormous APP
petite for Old World titles of distinction.
Sir Michael and Sir Hans belong to one
of the most extended of the aristocratic

"grand" and superior is good enough
for the dignitaries of our associations of
citizens. Where does all this ambition
for names without realities come from9
Because knight of the Garter wears
golden star, why does the worthy cord
wainer, who mends the shoes of his
fellow-citizens, want to wear a tin star
and take name that had meaning as
used by the representatives of ancient
families, or the men who had made them
selves illustrious by their achievements?
1t appears to be peculiarly Ameri-
can weakness. The French republicans
of the earlier period thought the term of
citizen was good enough for anybody.
At later period, sic Roi Citoyen"-
the citizen king-was a common title
given to Louis Philippe. But nothing
is too grand for the American. in the
way of titles. The proudest of them
all signify absolutely nothing. They do
not stand for ability, for public service,
for social Importance, for large
possessions; but, OH the con
trary, are oftenest found in connection
with personalities to which they are
supremely inapplicable. We can hard
ly afford to quarrel with II national habit
which, if lightly handled, may involve
us in serious domestic difficulties. The

carried their point and Mastin's bank
went down with nearly dozen others.
While Strengthening out the affairs of the
institution the creditors refused an offer
from Mr.. Mastin to turn over several
tracts of land to which he held title. They
considered the realty worthless, and
wouldn't consider it as an asset So it re-
NAMED on the owners hands, in the course
of time became part of Kansas City, and
some of it is now valued at $500 front

Mr.. Mastin, who was GO years old when
he died, was a native of Tennessee, and
served through the war on the side of the
Confederacy. From 1865 until the day of
his demise he engaged in various financial
enterprises, making his home at Kansas
City. He leaves fortune of $1,000, 900,
two-thirds of which goes to his childless
widow, and the other third to a favorite
nephew.

ALIENS ESCAPE AND CAPTURE.

NEILsvILLE, WIS, April 26,-Daniel
Allen, who was caught by Sheriff Page
of this county at Whatcom, Wash after
a three years search, was tried March,
1887, and found guilty of poisoning
Henry Wright of the town of Loyal,
this county, by putting arsenic in his
food. Allen and Wight were both
married men and Allen had become
intimate with Wright's wife. After
Aliens conviction motion was made
for new trial, which was to be argued
in June, and Allen did not receive sem
tence but was held in Jail pending the
decision of the motion. There was little
hope of his getting second trial and a
short time before the motion was to be
argued he escaped. There is no doubt
but that he received assistance from
the outside as the doors were unlocked.
1t is not known who the guilty parties
were. The County board then appoint
ed a committee and appropriated
$1,000 to search for Allen and others,
who had escaped before this time and
were still at large. Pinkerton detect
ives were employed, but their search
was frultless. When Sheriff Page
came into Office in January, 'S9, he
took up the search and finally after a
hunt of nearly three Years they have
succeeded in 1iecapturlng the fugitive,
and the last one of Clark county's
escaped prisoners will be brought to
justice. Sheriff Page Will probably
arrive with his prisoner Monday.
