A Renaissance
OF PRES. DAVIS
Professor Winston Tells What the
Confederate Chaplain Said on
Learning of Linco!n's Death.
Written for The sunday Times.j

wv IitISlt Lie lllHsS.J
Professor Charles II. Winston, of the
School of Physics in Richmond College,
tells ar Interesting story of the stop of
. Jefferson Davis and his party at Char
lottc, n. c., on their trip south, after
the evacuation of Richmond.
Professor Winston was within ten feet
or him when he heard the news OF the
assassination Of President Lincoln, and
also heard his brief address to the citi-
zens of Charlotte, who had gathered
around him on the day OF his arrival
Professor Winston was then coming
home. Every one knew that the war
was over. The coming of President Davis
to the little city OF Charlotte did not
create much stir. The people We're be-
yond great excitement then. But they
were loyal, and as his party came into
the town riding their poorly-fed horses,
they rallied around their chief.
Mr.. Davis stopped his horse, and, turn
ing to those about him addressed them
in a quiet diSniiicd way that sat well
upon his martial figure His first sem
tence was. according to the recollection
OF Professor Winston, as follows: Gen
tIemcn. ] come to you not as a connuerer,
but as one who has been defeated. The
PRINCIPLES for which we fought will live,
though VIC have lost.
Professor Winston says he has never
seen this part OF his speech at that time
quoted or reproduced
It was at this time also that the rIln,or
rss ched him Of the assassination of Mr..
Lincoln The countenance of the Presi
dent OF 4 country and a cause which
hi, himself declared was lost was very
sad. Hardly as.y one believed the report.i
Mr.. Davis has been quoted as saying the
words that have for that reason become
historic: IF it We're done, itswere better
that it We're done quickly" Professor
I Winston says he does not remember
hearing him say this. though he was

speaking.

A few seconds later. we discovered. on the outskirts of the herd, which doubt less numbered many horses of our own. two pony riders turning the lead CTS across the valley.
 We did not have to guess that these men were "rustlers." and that there were more of them in the rear push ing the horses forward. Every move ment of herd and men proclaimed the fact. A gang of our mountain free booters had taken advantage of the stockmen's stampede" to Lander to make another stampede, which should be vastly to their own advantage.
 The men were steering their catch across Black Rock valley up to the mouth of Two-owe-tec pass. Once through that difficult gap, they would hustle the herd into the fastnesses of Owl Creek mountains, break it up into small punches and get away with the horses at their leisure.
 Ferd and I did not say this to each other-we did not need to do so. We slipped off the fence presently, and

 Even when we told her we should fight. pointing out from height the high banks of dry run where we should make our stand when we had run the herd over the rustiers, she ap- proved the plan.
 "You can stand them off easily!' she declared. Their bullets can't hit you in there, and if they charge you can stampede them with crackers.
 We rather thought so ourselves. We then ate a bit of dinner and rested, listening meanwhile for the tramp of the herd. It was nearly four o'clock when we heard the rumble of their hoofs and sighted their trail of dust up the canyon.
 We quickly took our places. Florence stood just outside the mouth of the cut, with several giant crackers and some matches in hand. She was a lit tie pale. but cool and collected, and showed no sign of fear.

New Theory of Longevity.

The great question of the elixir of life has been vexing philosophers for centuries. A scientific man has now entered the field with new theory for prolonging mans mortal span. A man, he says, has definite num- Der of waking hours allotted to him, and the fewer he uses up the longer will his life last. If, therefore, he is contented to sleep most of the time, there is no reason why he should not live for 200 years. He adduees the case of the negroes as an illustra- ton. The expert may very possibly be partly correct, but whether the life he prescribes would be worth Iiv. ing may be doubted. The allotted threescore and ten years spent in the ordinary way would probably be in
 hnitely preferable.-London Globe.

 there were three people at Black Rock Horse ranch who were anything but cool. In fact, Ferd, Florence and were as hot" as we could well become hot with impatience and disgust.
 For more than four weeks we had been preparing for celebration. a picnic at our cottonwood grove, with all the family and all our neighbors along Black Rock creek to join in mak- ing great day. Ferd, who had bor- rowed some volumes of the Congress sional Record from some local poli- tician, had written q short address, and Florence had practiced diligently some patriotic songs. Moreover, we had expended SS for fireworks. of a magnitude worthy of the largest at tainable crowd.
 Our discontinue may be imagined when l say that father, mother and the younger children had failed in a promised return from their visit at Green River, and that, just two days before the Fourth. report had reached Black Rock Valley of monster cele- bration" which was to be held at Lander, and to which every mothers son and daughter in our neighborhood had stampeded.
 We were left alone, we three: so far as we knew, there was not a soul left within 25 miles of us.
 We were, of course, still looking for the return of our family from Green River, but as the morning slipped away and II o'clock came, with no sign of them, Ferd and gave ourselves up to sulking. We were lying upon our backs in the shade of some cotton woods mean a horse corral. when Flor ence, who was still on the lookout, shouted to us.
 They're coming." she cried, run ming toward us and clapping her hands Joyfully. "I can see the dust of their wagon down the valley Splendid, splendid. We'll have a celebration all to ourselves!" As there are eight of us altogether, the prospect was not quite so disheartening.

A CHIP OFF THE OLD BLOCK.
She Caught the "Rebnte" Idea from Her Father and Did Dusiness
 on That Basis

This incident is recalled because ol the fact that the travelling freight agents recently made flying visit to the city, and incidentally held their fifth annual convention, says the pe- troit Free Press.
 A daughter of one of this frater- nity married a prosperous young business man of Detroit. Throughout the impressionable period of child hood she had heard much of rebates. The word was endlessly repeated in her fathers conversation, and was not to be detached from her mem ory.
 When the couple were about to en- gage in housekeeping her husband told her To figure out about what her household expenses would be, al- low margin in her favor. and fix the answer as determining the amount of the weekly allowance he would give her.
 She had a long conference with the grocer, meat market attached and all vegetables in season. It was decided approximately what the weekly bill would be for her small family, and then she asked about rebate
 Rebate" he echoed. "why, bless your heart, I've put everything down to the lowest notch. Couldn't throw off a cent. Couldn't think of it. must put everything high if you in- sist on a rebate"
 nH ha Every smart business person gives and takes rebates. Papa always thought more or less of them than he did of anything else in the world except himself and ready money. If l can't get rebate, I'll go some where else. I'm no novice when it comes to business. Please under stand that. What would trade and commerce be without rebates? leave it to yourself"
 So the grocer advanced his price 20 per cent, and allowed her 15 per cent. rebate, an arrangement highly satisfactory to herself. She secured an equally gratifying bargain with the dry goods merchant, the milk ii'"'' 'hC oicSSiiiher, the coal dealer and the ice man. Her husband scru- tinized the figures suspiciously, but his chief aim was to have certainty and a system, so he made the al- lowance
 During the recent cyclone in stocks he participated. At the finish he was a squeezed sponge, and ready to be- gin life anew as a farm hand or a sewing machine agent. She cheerily opened up her rebate fund, counted out S3,000, enabled him to cover so that he cleaned up competence, and then took him into the back yard to solemnly inform him that he would never prosper, unless he looked close ly after the rebates
