a hundred yards from the haystack; I
took the big axe with me in the cart to

Speaking of Jeff Davis, a newspaper
correspondent who has recently visited
him, says : He is a great smoker, and
when iu his appartment employs his time
in writingreadingand praying. Alter
nately he is very quiet and pious, and res
tive and boisterous.- He freely expresses
his opinions about the General:? and lead
ers on both siJe?. lie thinks McOlellan
i -. -v Vwi
wa3 Qur reatest General, and says Grant
is uo soldier, nothing but a butcher :
Lincoln was a good-natured man, but a
jackass ; Andrew Johnson is pretty
smart, and inclined to do the fair thing
so far as he can, but he is not a great
man. He thinks his capture was very
uujust, as he was fairly paroled by the
surreuder of Lee and Johnston, and says
that if he had auy idea of being taken he
could easily have made his escape. Ile
was terribly enraged at what Foote1, of
Mississippi, said of him, and declared that
Foote was a "constitutional liar" that ho
"had often told him so;" and he was glad
when he made his escape from the Con
federacy, and that 'khe gave orders to let
him go, and not to stop him," adding l,L
was glad to get rid of such a nuisance."
''The Duke of Marlborough," Jeff, says,
"deserted his Sovereign fought success
fully under the banners of another Prince,
and his name has come down in history as
one of the noblest men, and greatest of
Generals of his time. But Marshal Ney,
one of Napoleon's famous Generals, who,
after the bauishmeut of Napoleon to Flba,
gave in his adhesion to the ruling powers,
and again joined his chief on his return,
was after his final overthrow taken and
shot as a traitor." His commentary upon
these historic fact was this : "Treason
never prospers for when it does, none
dare call it treason."
It is stated that a man "out West" has
invented a "new, powerful, double-acting
salve, which canuot fail to be a boon, not
only to the human race, but to every liv
ing thing which is exposed to accidents
and wounds." As a proof of its potency
and efficacy, the inventor narrates that by
way of experiment he cut off about four
iuches of his dog's tail, and applied the
salve to the stump, whereupon the tail at
once grew to its natural size aud shape ;
that he then took up the piece of tail
which he cut off, and applied the salves
to the bleeding cud, whereupon the dog
grew out, so Wee the otlicr that it isas im
possible to tell which was the original
dog!
"A clergyman was endeavoring to in
struct one of his Sunday scholars, a
plough-boy, on the nature of a miracle.
"Now, my boy," said he, "suppose you
were to sec the sun rising in the middlo

"That niune, please zur." "No, but,"
said the clergyman, "supposo you knew
that it was not tho nioou, but the suu,
and that you saw it actually rise in the
middle of the night what should you
think ?" "Please, zur, I should think it
was time to get up.
