Temper and RascaIIty.
(tIolston Methodist. J

Strange rs ii is, it is true that i'll
temper goes further towards max
ing man unpopular. than bad char
acter otherwise. a good-natured
rascal often has many and warm
ftiends, but churl, be he ever so
honest, is avoided by everybody.
A reason for this is, that man's 8
rascalities usually cause us incon.
1einence only occasionally, while an
ill.tempered associate or neighbor
jaggers us frequently with his porcu
pine quilts. The mosquito is more
dreaded than the rattlesnake for
we have usually to to disance to
find the latter, and find it only occa.
sionally; but the former comes to ms
and serenades us again and again,
all night long.
Indeed the love Of ease with too
many of us is 4 stronger passion than
the love of right.

How We Hate One Another.
Charleston News and Courier

Charleston News and Courior)
After all, the spirit of Christianity
is bigger than The creeds. About
two weeks ago tho Rev DR.. Palmer,
Of New. Orleans. ono Of the most
distinguished Presbyterian ministers
in the United States, celebrated his
eightieth birthday, and was over
whelmed with gifts and congratula-
tions, which poured in upon him on
all sides. The Jews presented him
with loving cup of massive silver,
and the Roman Catholic, through
Cardinal Gibbons, wishing him addi.
tional years of useful and vigorous
life.
The Roman Catholic Cathedral of
St John the Baptist, in Savannah,
was destroyed by fire last Sunday
night. AS soon as it was known
that this ancient edilice had persisted
and that it's congregation were with
out sanctuary, the Rev. DR.. Strong
rendered the use of St.John's Episco
pal church, "untill tho Cathedral
congregation could mako arrange
ment. for holding services" The
Young Mems Hebrew Association
also offered to supply the Cathedral
congregation with shelter: The ses.
sion oftbe Independent Presbyterian
church, the rector of st Stephens
church, and the Bishop Of tho Epis-
copal Church sent letters and messn.
ges of sympathy to the afflicted
people, and the first contribution
for tho rebuilding OF the Cathedral
was made by Fiizbugh Lee White,
the year old son of the Rev. DIR
White, rector of the Episcopal Christ
church. All cf this was precisely as
it should have been, and as the Mas
ter would have ordered ii, but it ~ as
out of the ordinary run of religious
incidents.
1t is worth while for n Christian
minister to have an eightieth BIRTH
day 10 be told by Jewish rabbi that
''we stand under the protection oil
one and the same Father in Heaven
In CERTAIN broad sence there was
ample compensation for the burning
OF the Cathedral in Savannah in the
letter of symprihy received from the
session Of Presbyte an church. II
is only at odd times, in closely con.
tested elections, when we have axes
to grind, or personal scores to settle
or prejrdiceS to consult that we hate
Que another. The two incidents we
hive noted how how good anc
pleasalt thing it is to dwell to

MRS. JEFFERSON DAVIS.

Why She Resides In the North.

Inv "aeon \0a Telegraph ol
Sunday last says: Mr.. Edgar S. Viii
son returned yesterday from New
York. While in that city Mr.. Viii
son visited Mrs. jefferson Davis al

Mr. Wilson ate old friends. aud
when Mr.. Wilson visits New York
he always calls on the widow of The
lamented president of the Confed
eracy. In speaking of his visit TO G
Telegraph reporter, hIr. Wilson said
that on account OF his long friend
ship with her she talked freely tc
him about her family affairs.
Mrs. Davis" said MIR. Wilson sis
very much grieved at the criticism oil
some of the Southern people OH hel
making her home iu the North These
criticisms have reached her ears ard
have caused her much sorrow-a sor
row made all the more painful be.
cause she still loves the South and
the Southern people just as strongly
and warmly as ever. L don't believe
| will violate any confidence when
tell Mrs Davis reason for living in
New York, aud if / do, my excuse
for it is to let the people of In.
South know that the criticisms some
OF them have made of Mrs. Davis
are very unjnst, as it is not ut all
from choice that she aud Miss Win
nie.live insthe North.
f"Mrs. Davis told me-" continued
MIR. Wilson, "that tho plantation at
Beanyior did not afford living for
herself and her daughter on account
OF freshets, floods, and the low price
OF cotton, etc, land that it was neces.
sary for her to work for living.
The best suited to both of them is q
literary character, and when they
began to look for purchasers of
Their productions they only found i'll
the North. They have made repeat,
ell efforts to dispose Of" their works
to Southern purchasers, but have
found the demand very small for it,
there being PRACTICAL no market for
high.class literary work in the South,
all OF the big publishers aud news,
papers that are able to pay for it
delng in the North; consequently
1t became necessary to move to Que
OF the largest cities, and they selec
ted New York. There they find
ready market fo all of their pro
ductions aud the income thus
derived, together with the small
income FROM the Beauvior plantation
affords them a comfortable living
The joint income from the literary
work of Mrs. Davis and Miss Winnid
last year was $4,000, Mrs. Davis
earning $500 and Miss Winnie
$1,000.
Mr. Wilson said he thought those
people who had crititisod Mrs

so that each could think of himself

in her place and decide if he'would'nl
