Jefferson Davis had a memory for
faces and names that has probably never
been excelled by that of any public man
in the United States. 1t has been said
of General Sherman that when he meets
a man who was introduced to him TWEEN.
ty years previously he will recall bib
name and the circumstances of the 10
PRODUCTION, and will talk over the inch
dents of their first meeting. Both Grant
and Lee possessed to a great degree the
same faculty of remembrance. bus
neither sherman, nor Grant, nor Lee
could do what Mr.. Davis did. At his on
fee in Richmond, as President Of the
Southern Confederacy, and in his visits
to the front OF the army, he treasured
up in his memory the names OF every
officer and soldier with whom he came
into contact, and he never forgot them

me BALLAD or THE GERMS.

Twas taking woodland stroll one day,
when / came to a brook. and there,
Prone on the brink young man lay,
With face of white despair.
~oh, what is your sorrow, young mani said L
sand why is your cheek so palef'
He turned 10 me with weary sigh,
And told me his dismal tale.
Aonce I was happy, thoughtless youth,
Without O fear or care,
And the world about me seemed In truth
Beneficent as fair.
0Bu. aiack and alas went one day
To college of high degree,
When fatal knowledge stole peace away,
And left me the wreck you see.
.Ilearned OF the deadly germs that Turk
In the home OF each hapless man
OF the direful bacilli whose fatal work
Cuts short our mortal span.
~Iused to sit at a widespread board;
or the juicy fIet ate,
And the spring lamb graced my plate
"a Drumming goblet quaffed betimes,
The gift OF the gentle cow
Ali those were happy, ignorant times

"Tubercuious germs in the goblet float
With bacilli know 1t swarms-
More germs in the mutton and beef note,
In some OF their Protean forms.
Come gaze awhile on this murmuring brook.
How IL woos my thirsty lipi
But bacteria lurk in each crystal nook
There is poison in every spi
. Aiasi there is nothing for me TO do
But to die, and so foil these germs,
For sooner than yield TO this noisome crew,
I'll be eaten by fishes and wormsT
Over the edge he swiftly sprang--
One moment he struggles and squirms-
Still in my ears his sad tale rang,
And / wept Ger his fate as softly sang
This doleful ballad Of germs.

of the principles which prompted him to

that compulsory ensctments in this regard

This is just what the Bennett law pro-
