A monument to Jefferson Davis was
unveiled at Richmond last Monday.
Twenty-Five years ago such thing
would have aroused a storm in the
North, but now hardly person even
criticises it, indeed, it is generally APP
proved. The unfortunate feature Of the
affair is that some of the speakers, in
Guiding the governor of Virginia and a
son of Gen. Lee, took advantage of the
opportunity to say things which indicate
that they do not know the war is over.
To say the least, they showed poor
taste.

that chewing meat retards digestion,
and instances the fact that no other

meat. All the others bolt it. But what
are we TO do? Truly it is difficult to
chew the average steak, but it is certain
" impossible to swallow il whole.
