Facts and Fancies.
Lieutenant-General Grant was present at
the exhibition of left-handed penmanship
in Washington, last evening, with a large
number of members of Congress and others.
This is a new way of furnishing write=
hands to men who have lost them.
A Western editor thus notices the mar
riage of a contemporary:
"We notice that our old time friend, Bob
Huggins, has been marrying a "Adder.'
Bob may make a good doctor—in fact we
have no doubt of it, for we have seen his
sign and pill bags—but he will now dis
cover that he never finished his education.
He will exclaim, like Jonah, when the
Queen of Sheba stole his goard, that 'the
half had not been told him."'
.a. blunder in Victor Hugo's "Toilers o f
the Sea" is very amusing—and all the
more so from the fact that the author has
great pride in his geographical learning.
The Frith of Forth he renders in French by
the words Premier de la Quatrieme—the
First of the Fourth! There has been ' no
thing funnier than that since another
Frenchman translated "Love's Last Shift"
(the title of a play) into] La Dernierc
Chemise de l'Amour. , -
Citizens of Vera Cruz have given "Maxi
milian a sceptre of gold ornamented with
diamonds. Max did not make a speech in
reply, but only remarked that the sceptre
was "very like a whale—good for spouting."

Mrs. Jeff. Davis—liter Arrival at Fortress
Elonroe.and Interview with Her Haw;

YonTaass Mormon, May 3, 1886.—BIrs. Jeff. Davis
arrived here this morning. Her ythngest alla, a
sprightly girl, twenty months old, a colored man
servant, possessing the 'stalwart form and fierce
mustache of a Beeman grenaoier four trouks or im
mensely large proportions, anda travelling basket of
the largest pattern bore her company. Upon landing
she went to the Hygela Hotel, adjacent to the wharf,
and without *topping to change her traveling dress,
or even rem° , ing. her bonnet breakfasted, ann then
sent a' message inside the fort, announcing her
arrival and the permission from President
Johnson she bore with her to visit her bus
b..nd. Meantime the news, of her presence at
the hotel spread rapidly, and a retinue of anxious
persons soon withered about to get a look at her. With
admirable imperturbability. not to say an agreeable
equanimity or temper—bb the result, to some
extent, of past similar experiences she submitted to
the painthi necessity of being gazed at Time, that old
and stern teacher of wisdom, and unerring revelator
Of the mutat:ditties of eat thly dynasties and hopes, has
very sensibly changed her from tne haughty and defi
ant woman she Was a year ago. Her tone is more sub
dued, her mannet a are more qui. t and reserved, and
site does not seek to shine as resplendently ID flashing
diamonds, and costly laces. She -has a much elder
look—the look , of- a woman who has long borne the
burden of Diet and waged war with Conflicting doubts
and hopes. Ent a poor stuaent ot physiognomy is he
who does not stilt read in that face and penetrative
glance of those eyes a power of will and determination
as strong and pertinac,ous as life itself.
At haft-past eight o'clock Lieutenant Fessenden,Sth
United States it rtinerY, Waited upon her to escort her
inside the fort. Her child accompanied them. Bhe was
talc•, n to Gen. Ifiles's headquarters, who received her
with every politeness and consideration due her post
tion. Under other circumstances she 'might have
striven more sedulously, perhaps, to evore the most
favorable impression possible upon the custodian of
her hushand, but her great anxiety was to proceed at
once to her to *sand's place of confinement and see
him. She wanted to see how he had borne hit imprison
ment. whether hs was ruck or well, and learn alt about
him, Sbe was not long k eptan anxiety. Mr. Davis
bad been apprised of her coming. Within fifteen
minutes from the time of her admission to the fort
she was with him in Carroll Hall. Lieutenant
Fess; nden still bore her company. Bb e has re
.mahud. with Mr. Davis all day, and took her din
ner with him. An officer has been cot stantly to
the same room. Their meeting was a tender and
affecting one, as such a meeting must naturally be af
ter such a protracted separation, and particularly un
der the circumstances att endi_ g their separation. And
we let the curtain drop over their talks or the vast,
their realizations of thepresent and hopes for th e At
tu e. She confesses finding Davis in better health
than the bad expected: but still avers that he Is mu, h
feebler than when brought here. She is every way
sa tisfled with the treatme4 be has received, and ac
knowledges that everything. saving his restoration to
liberty. has been done to him that could be To Dr.
Cooper, his medical attendant and adviser, she is spe
(tally thank fol and gives the unqualified credit of
keeping him as well and cheerful as he is. It is not
k novvn yet hether she wit stay at Dr COOrier's during
her sojourn here or at the Hygela Hotel. It is also not
know,. yet how long the will remain here. Mrs. Davis
ieft 3fontrsal on Monday at three P. N. She has
traveled night and day to get here.
