MRS. DAVIS CONSENTS.
The Remains of Her IlIustrious Husband
Will Rest in Richmond where
Great Statue will be Reared.

To the Irtcraas and People Of the Southern
States:
After much anxious thought / have
finally decided to give to Virginia the
care of my husbands mortal body, and
feel that my reasons should be made pub
lie, as he was in many senses the property
of the whole country. Immediately after
the death Of ex- President Jefferson Davis
Louisiana expressed her desire to keep
his halowed remains for all times, but
she claimed only the right to guard him
until some permanent place could be Sc
lected for his resting place. Virginia
asked for his honored remains because
the most strenuous efforts of his life had
been made upon the soil and in defence of
Richmond, as The capital of the COnfed-
crate States. Atshort intervals through
out the last eighteen months she has re-
newcd her tender insistancc that he
should rest among the heroic dead Of all
the States who fell in defence of the Con-
federacy She urged the fact he did
not, in The fulness of his fame, belong
exclusively to any part of the country.
Every hillside about Richmond would tell
Of the valorous resistance which be mi
tiatcd and directed with tirclcss vigilance
as Chief Magistrate, that there he re-
ceivcd generous and unwaverng support
In the darkest hour of our unfortunate
country's defeat
All these claims have touched my heart
and contended together for the mastery.
1t has been hard to give up the hope Of
dwelling near my husbands resting place
in Mississippi, where my home and inter-
ests arc, but unfortunately Beauvoir is on
the coast of the Mexican gulf and on
peninsula very little over Il mile wide, and
the half mile Of shallow water in front,
covered with submerged stumps Of large
trees, shows that the sea has been steadi-
ly enoroaching on the shore for many
years, feel therefore that as the monu-
ment is for all time, it would not be wise
to place it there, and | submit to the per-
sonal sacrifice with the hope that the
States of the Confcderacy will also rclin-
qnish their cherished plans for the sake
Of gratifying the majority Of the voter
ans who have written countless letters to
me from each Of the before mentioned
States to urge Richmond as the proper
place for the grave of him who loved
them all and laborcd for their glory with
all his might during the heat and burthen
of the days granted to him here Your
country-woman,
NARISA JEFFERSON DAVIS.

Z 3, 81, a.. m Hbnse Indictment and ex-

stated By those whose Judgment and ex-
nerie1ce enfitlc their opinions TO the
highest respect That under these condi-
tons Bessenier pig iron can be produced
at d cost not 20 exceed SO to $12 per ton.
Compare this with the acknowledged cost
to produce the same quality OF iron IN
Pennsylvania, and the advantages and
value Of this section become apparent.
tsThe hematife ores of Johnson, Garter
and Uneoi, and indeed as far along the
range of.fhe Smoky mountsins as the
Georgia line, are of superior quality,
abundant in quantity.
"Ofher sections have enjoyed adyan-
tages in encouraging the development OF
minerals and the construction of furnaces
that it has NOT been possible for US to
possess However valuable and abun-
dant may he the ores under proper condi-
tons, the value is absolutely destroyed
unless the essential facfor-fues-can be
obtained at prices that will warrant the
conversion of the ores. This condition
has ceased to exist. Furnaces can be
constructed on our line with the absolute
assurance of an abundant supply OF the
finest ores, either magnetic, hematIte or
spccular, coke at minimum cost, lime
stone superabundant and labor seeking
employment.
"The railway lines now under construc-
ton, to which reference has been made,
place the coke Of Virginia and Eastern
Kentucky nearer to the ores than any
located in Virginia. Let our people con-
slider these facts, as facts they are, and
no doubt can be reasonably entertained
as to the possibilities of this section, and
of East Tennessee as the center Of the
best producing region of the South
ern iron belt, at least, and ls destined to
become serious competitor with Penn
sylvania. We have no hesitation in say
ing this fact is being realized"
The great fields here spoken of and now
in progress of rapid development are all
within a daylight's ride of Cincinnati.
Every practical business man will see
what possibilities are opened to enter
prises of all kinds in region thus stock
ed with riches, and which Mt the same
time is peopled with a highly intelligent
and long-organized and well-organized
society, and which is also blessed with q
delightful climate and unbounded agri-
cultural development.

A Girls Clever Retort.
Detroit Free Press


The Professor of Natural Science at Ann
Arborwas discussing the process of fertilzing
plants BY means of insects CARRYING the pollen
from one plant to another, and to amuse them
told how old maids were the ultimate cause OF
it all. The humble bees carry the pollen; the
field mice eat the humble bees; therefore the
more field mice the fewer humble bees and the
less pollen and variation of plants. But cats
dcvour field mice, and old maids protect cats
Therefore the more old maids the fewer cats
the fewer field mice the more bees. Hence old
maids are the cause of variety in plants.
Thereupon sophomore, with single eye
glass, an English umbrella, a box coat, with
his trousers rolled up at the bottom, arose and
asked:
81 sa-a-y, professah, what is the causc-all
-of old maids, don't you know"
perhaps Miss Jones can tell you," suggest
ed the professor.
"Dudess' said Miss Jones sharply, and with
out a moments hesitation.
