Ours live again, and our fondest prayer is that this nation, under God, may long endure in peace, In freedom and in honor.
 The history of Jefferson Davis from 1881 until the end is so well known that need not repeat 1t here.
 With the failure of the Crittenden com promise, the last chance for reconcilia- tion between the sections. except through the arbitrament of war, passed away, and Jefferson Davis, bidding farewell to the Senate of the United States, in a speech of pathetic regret and noble can- dor followed his State out of the Union and into the Confederate government.
 Unexpectedly offered the Presidency of the Southern Confederacy, he accepted that Presidency with regret, because he had hoped to serve his State in the field and in the command of the armies of the South, rather than in the chambers of the Executive Mansion. Here, as every where. he sacrificed his personal desires to what he deemed his public and his patriotic duties.
 His name Is linked indissolubly with the Confederate States. He made gov- ernment where none existed. He over came difficulties of colossal magnitude His genius dominated a great war for years. The defeat of the Southern Con federacy was his defeat. Its fall was his fall. Its obseQuies, his obsequies.

An Eneltsh 1AauOr Lay.

Cleveland Leader.
 The new licensing act which has gone into effect in England appears to be a temperance law more drastic than any thing that has ever been proposed in this country. If it is strictly enforced 1t should have the effect of putting a stop to drunkenness to a very large extent. Under this act either a husband or wife is entitled to a separation for habitual drunkenness, and the police are author ized to arrest a drunkard anywhere ex- cept in a private house. whether disor- derly or not. A person convicted of drunkenness Is denied drink for three years. To merely ask for a drink is made an offense punishable by fine and any one who sells liquor to drunkard whose name is upon the blacklist is liable to a fine of $50 for the first ofrense and $1Oo for a subsequent offense.
 That Is the right sort of law, for 1t puts upon the saloonkeeper the greater part of the blame for drunkenness, and there is every reason to believe that the provision Of such a severe penalty for selling to a drunkard will render it next to impossible for inebriates to obtain liquor during the period for which they are blacklisted. Temperance reformera will watch with interest the operations of this law, for England is cursed by intemperance at present more than any other country on the face of the earth, and that may have been the real reason for the enactment of this drastic law.
