MORE OF THE BLAIR FAMILY,
Tlio Now York Sun of Sitluitlity

they botli ride into Washington on
lioreeback ; and v. lion tliey do not
ootno to W'aaliington tlicy ride an fur
in the oiiioNito diroction. .Mr. Jtluir
wears a broad brim mud douched but,
und looks like tbo relic of a century
ngo. He in very thin; his lugs are
hardly larger tbun a cotumon niitn't
wrist; and by the. time he potg into
tbe city bia trowsers bave xliiieu half
war opto hia k noon. Mrs. llluir, who1
is a robust, alout, fine-looking old ludy,
wears a tiroud, tuukor lun-bonnet,
mude of pastobourd slips, so that she
can gather it all up together in her
hand, and an wbilo dinnty, abort
dres.
ilr. Blair always rides about a
length and a hull of the horHe abcud
of her. Jla rides up to 4,he steps in
front of Montgomery liluir's bouse,
throws tbe reins down on the horse's
neck, dismounts and procoods directly
up the steps. The horse droops bis
head and ntiinds still. iroctly Mrs.
Itlair rides up, switches her huxbund's
horse out of the way, gots off her
horse, and follows bur bubband into
the bouse. -
One end of tho house is occupied bv
Montgomery Blair, Mr. liluir's oldest
son, a graduate or out I'oint, onco a
Judge in Missouri, an ofllco bolder un
der Buchanan, Postmaster General
undoi Lincoln, a friendly man, a first
rale batter, and a very virulent poli
tician and stump speaker ; and tbe
other end is occupied by Rev. Admi
ral I.eo, who married tbe only daugh
ter ol old Mr. Blair.
The mansion where Monltromery
Iilair lives, and where old Mr. and
Mrs. Blair alight when they ride into
WaMhinglon, is tbe one in which Sena
tor Benton lived. Itissituuled across
the street, in front of the While
llouso, and nearly opposite tbo War
Department.
Old Mr. Blair was originally en
gaged in banking in Kentucky. He
was brought to V aslungton by Gen
eral Jackson, between whom and
himself a warm aud life-long friend
ship existed. Tbo old Globe, edited
tiy Blair & Kivcs, was the great organ
ot the Democratic party in tbo days
of Jackson, and was a power iu the
land.
Tho Bluirs and Frcmonta were
strong friends until tbe separation
which took pluce between them dur
ing the Into war, and w hich proved
injuiious to both parlies.
t'robslily there is no other man liv
ing who has held so many important
interviews with President in tbe
White House as Francis P. Bbiir, sr.
It was bo who looked out, at tbe request
of Geo. Jackson, a suitable place in
which to intorline.in one of Old Hick
ory's mofsages, tbe ever memorable
words :
"I take tbe responsibility."
Old Mr. Blair is certainly a remark
able man, and has lived a remarkable
career as a politician. Hn hat been,
as a friend, lititbful, bold, and power
ful ; and an onemy, malignant, eliival
ric, and formidable.

in nino days by tho Into General V.

Tbo ubove paragraph is going tbo
rounds of tho press as an item of
Btrungo news. .
Tho book, our readers will remem
ber, cume out in Sow Yirk soon alter
tbe relonse or Mr. Davis on bail li-oin
bis imprisonment at Fortress Monroo.
It was the sensation of the day, and
excited docp interest fur tho fuinoue
prisoiior whose story of irUuu . iUu ii
assumed togivo. While it stirred tbe
bcartBof the Sunt horn people, of whose
loBt cause bo was the officiul bend, it
awakened tho curiosity, removed the
prejudioesand onlisted the sympathies
of .Northern men in behall of one fallen
from high estate, a weary, feeble cap
tive, who yet challenged admiration
for tbe equanimity of bis bearing and
t lie accomplishments oi his mind.
Our readers will bo astonished to
learn that tbo averment of Mr. Train
is true, and that this popular book,
over which so much of leeling, of in
dignation, pity, interest and admirs
tiou, has been created and expended,
is a work of imagination a novel
woven upon slender threads of fact.
Soor. alter tbo admission of Mr.
Davis lo buil, Craven, the Bingnoii of
the post, went to New York, where
be met his quandom messmate of the
same starl, (jenerul lLilpino. J Ins lit
erary friend congratulated him forth
with on this opportunity ho bud to
immortalize Iniuneil in print, and ul
the same time make money on a book
on J elf. Davis. Tho idea seemed new
to Dr. Craven, and ho said it was im
practicable. Hulpine asked him where
bis notos wore. He replied bo had
none, and could not do il. Then said
Halpino, give me whatever material
you nave ami i win write i it your
name, and wo will iliaro tho prolils
This was agreed to.
(. raven furnished three letters of
Mrs. Davis to hint and some notes
written on the margin of a llcruld by
Mr. Davis, touchmg the points bo de
sired Kovordy Johnson to make in
defending him for treason. This was
all the authentic matter supplied.
At tho request of General Halpino,
Craven ulso mudo out a list of the
officers ol the pot, and their days for
going on duty, and other littlo details
of the post und garrison, and of Mr.
I 'avis'.
Halpino then railed to seo several
Coufcdcratesin Now Y'ork,and,among
others, General Dick Taylor. He
pumped lluin os to Mr. Davis, bis
views and opinions on public mutters;
also in regard to leading Southern
men, and Mr. Davis's relations and
lootings towards them, Ac.
A Philadelphia publishing . bouse
now advertised that it wns soon to
put forth a life of Davis, and Halpino
saw tho importance of anticipating
this publication by his book. It was
nrrauged in New York to got it out
immediately. Ho agreed to furnish
bis publisher forty pages of foolscap
manuscript daily. And bo sal down
to write and wrote forty pages daily
for nine days, when tho book wun
completed tho web of bis fertile brain
and accomplished mind.

the law of justice and kindness But
there is much base coin in circulation
in the sphere of manners, and ther

ull, il comes lo ibis : that good morals
are good manners. You will find no
better stuiidurd for manners than Ihis.
But still, there are degrees of good
ness; there is a ntoro or less graceful
manner of showing it; and tbo more

Tbo best manners, therefore, aro the

Fowls should never be permitted lo

fact that fowls of all kinds frequently
drop a vory sotdid, offensive, viscious
odor, and when allowed to go on the

anywhere in tbo burn, they damage

to live in the kitchen, and hop on the
