A deed assignment OF the personal prop

camille company was filed with the clerk
of the district court late Saturday last.
John F. Meagher, and d long time trlend
of Mr.. Kelly, being named as assignee:
The action is not precipitate, nor is It
surprise TO those who have been familiar
with the poor health Of Mr.. Kelly Tor a
wear past, and the burden Of his affairs
upon him in such a physical condition. u
MT. Kelly is now a very sick man. Indeed,
he himself has been impressed lately VITA
the belief that his recovery is not to be
eypected, and that his death is to be a
matter of a short time, at best. In view
Of this feeling. and considering the iEl-
mense area embraced n his business saf-
fairs. and the fact tina. they are consider
ably involved, he decided 10 put his mat
tiers IN the way Of an immediate settle.
nent through an assignee, rather than to
leave them for the probate court.

he rose to eminence, being the defending
counsel OF the noted murderer, John G.
Colt, brother of the inventor of the re-
volver, and whose suicide under the
shadow of the gallows half century
ago produced one Of the greatest sensa-
tions this city of sensations ever knew.
Not long afterward Robert Emmett was
elected justice of the superior court, in
company with such honored associates
as John Duer, Thos J. Oakley, Murray
Hoffman and Anthony T.. Robertson. He
in turn bequeather Emmett fame to q. son
who succeeded to the profession. and the
Richard T. Emmet who is a prominent
lawyer in the Pierce cruelty case Of
Westchester county, is defendant An
other descendants in the female line, Ro-
sina Emmett, who married into the Sher-
wood family, now lives as one OF the
great designers, etcllers and painters IN

Yours Truly.

MY friend Cholly would also like to in
quire why Mr. Davis did not wear his
spurs in his buttonhcles instead OF tying
them behind his feet, where they do not
attract any attention.
/ hope that my motive in this matter
will not be misunderstood, for I was not
in any way connected with or responsible
for the war, having been born later, ard,
therefore. too young to participate in the
general slaughter. T have always been
in favor of peace, prosperity and arbitra-
ton, aud if had been older and had more
influence at the time, still think the war
could have been averted.- 49,. =.
But know that voice the sentiments
of the better classes when say that /
and future generations would have liked
to read Mr.. Davis account Of this matter,
illustrated with diagrams and charts Of
his costume. It wolsld add much TO the
sadly Inadequate history of o1lr great evil
strife and be the means, perhaps, OF giving
to the world another grotesqlle style Of

HIS LAST WORK
What "Bilp' Nye Wrote Just Before
He Was Stricken.

What s'BilI'' Nye Wrote Just Before
He Was Stricken.
(From the New York Journal)
| NY attention has only just been called u
a communication written some years ago
by Jefferson Davis, a party formerly con-
nected with the confederacy industry, il
which he throws some light on the matter
| of his assassination, at a time when party
| feeling ran high and sectional hatred sal
up nights in order to get an early start II
! the morning.
MI Davis went on to show that he was
not assassinated at that time, and the gen
eral tenor Of his letter would indicate that
| he was glad of It. e. &
| Laying aside all other arguments i'll ia
| vor of the theory of releasing convict IN
order that he might assassinate man
| with whom he Was not personally ac-
qua:ntei, and that in the event of his sue
| cess he was to receive 100000, we may
pronounce the story as entirely and ab-
solutely false on the ground of price alone
| One hundred Thousand dollars is too much
| to pay for the most sickening assassina-
| tion.
# Mr.. Davis desired that we. should be:
l1etS lllS uIdllEUtC - ilIltiuCut VI eAC W1:, ~
should have said that a. prominent and
leading convict or perhaps we might have
called him "the Young Napoleon OF crime,
was liberated from the Pennsylvania pen
itent1ary with the understanding that he
was to assassinate the president OF the
confederacy at 81 per week and travelling
expenses. Then more people would have
believed it, AS it now stands we are left
in doubt as to whether the retired convict
was to go South in order to enjoy the elua-
ble climate Or to return a trunkful OF Dat
tie flags. &&
But there was, at one time, an exciting
episode in the life Of Mr.. Davis, an episode
which has been written UP only on one
side. It has never even appeared in the
magazines fully, though the magazines
have done much toward making us regret
the war and its terrible consequences.
Would that he had given us a lurid pen
picture of his great dramatic engagement
with the federal troops ait the close OF the
war
1t need not have stirred up old sector
strife at all. I think that, on the whole
it would engender good feeling and ai:ay
bitterness between the more violent, both
North and South. ] know it would have
that tendency in MY case.
The ladies', more. especially. would be
