interest of Ecton, the village itself

been presented by King Edward with
the living of the beautiful church at

A WEST POINT INCIDENT
How jefferson Davis Was Caught at
Benny AaVens'.

Jefferson Davis enjoys the dis
hnction of being in the first lot Of
cadets court martialed for drinking
at Benny Hayons'. In the summer
OF 1873 the corps was in camp. The
tents had no floors. and one SUNDAY
deluge of rain drowned out the
quarters of Davis and others. He.
with four companions, Theophilus
Mead, Samuel J. HAYS, James All
son and James +. Swift. set out in
search of IA comfortable shelter
They reached Bcnny's before thel
found it. While they were indulg-
ing in comforting drinks Captain
Hitchcock, who was passing. heard
sounds of rejoicing and stepped in.
lie testified that some of the cadets
had "a certain wildncss Of coun-
tenance which is produced often
times by the use of ardent spirits. -
They were so ready to explain the
situation to him that he confessed
to 'some difficulty in resisting
their advances, and one of them
was familiar with myself beyond
the rules of propriety and dis
cipline." OF Davis he said, Gle
exhibited extreme embarrassment,
which might have proceeded from
being found in the circumstances |
stated, but part of it | attributed
to the use of spirituous liquors"
Davis now first appears as a strict
constructionist. He maintained that
there were two reasons why the ca
diets should be acquitted, first, be
cause the regulations forbidding
visits to Benny's, though known to
the corps, had not been officially
promulgated, and, second, because
cider and porter were not "spiritu-
Gus liquors." that this was the opin-
ion of the corps as well as of the
greatest chemists. Davis had Major
Worth to testify that "his deport-
ment as a gentleman has been unex-
ceptionable," Each cadet made a
formal written defense also. That
of Davis dwells upon the first of the
two reasons named above. 1t ends
with the following sentiment:

should escape than one righteous
person be condemned" Professor

Magazine.
