Works,
Jeff. Davis in the South.
Mr. Davis is making a tour of the
Southern States, and speaks to excited
crowds at every important place. The
South is awakening under his inspiration,
and the tempest is brewing. The follow
ing passages in his late speech at Atlanta
will be read with interest by those who
imagine that there is any sincerity in the
democratic professions of a " new de
parture." TYRANNY AND WHOXO.
There arc many things that I might
say to you to night, my friends, but which
I feel it would be imprudent for me to
utter. If I should speak to you of the
past I should speak of memories that are
sad. If I should speak to you of the
present it would be to recount a tale of
tyranny and wrong that we have not the
power to redress, and under which, there
fore, it is more manly and noble for us to
fold our arms and suffer with quiet and
patient dignity. If I speak of the future,
then, I am liable to be misrepresented,
andyou held responsible for every specula
tion that I may chance to utter. But,
my friends, as I stand here to night and
look upon your kindly, honest faces, I
feel that there are a few plain words that
may be received by you as the expression
of my opinion in regard to the future.
Theu, I say, despair not of you liberty.
I despair not of the triumph of liberty.
I believe that truth will live eternally,
and that wrong cannot always endure.
HE WANTS PEACE.
Peace is what we hope for, peace we
desire, and peace we will have. I
have nothing to say to you to night of
politics, and, ray friends, I hope you have
nothing to do with them. You have
political power, and it exercise is only
postponed until the coming of that event
which I certainly anticipate the restora
tion of your constitutional rights. Ap
plause Let us, then, stand still and
quietly await developments. The men of
the North, like yourselves, love their Gov
ernment and understand their rights ; and
the men of the North have no idea of sur
rendering in their own country those great
bulwarks of constitutional liberty the
right of trial by jury, the right to elect
their own officers, and the right to de
termine their own internal policy. And
as, soon as their prejudices and. hatred
against the South arc removed, and they
see that by the unlawful action of those
in power toward the South these sacred
rights of theirs are in danger of being
invaded, full justice will be done.
HE ACCEPTS NOTIIINO.
I am not of those who "accept the situa
tion." I accept nothing. Those cant
phrases that we hear so much of about
" accepting the situation" aud about our
rights having been submitted to the
"arbitrament of the sword" are but the
excuses of cowards. Applause I ad
mit that power prevails over truth ; I ad
mit that power is so great that it would
be folly to resist it, and therefore I am
in favor, myself, of being acquiescent,
and I advise you to the same course, but
I. do not admit that our rights have ever
been submitted to the arbitrament of the
sword. Who has the power to submit
your liberties to the arbitrament of bat
tle ? You never delegated that power to
your representatives. 1, as your Execu
tive, never claimed it, and never, dying
or living, will I admit it. Applause J
And then, my friends, about this much-talked-of
subject of " accepting the situa
tion." You are not called upon to ac
knowledge that you have done wrong un
less you feel it.
I DON'T BELIEVE I DID ANY WRONG,
and therefore I don't acknowledge it.
All that a government has a right to
claim from any of its subjects is that they
will quietly submit to the law. Liberty
of law i3 their inheritance, and submis
sion to the law as long as it is such is
their duty and their obligation, and it
should be their pride. Now, my friends,!
having already said more than I intended, j
it only remains for me to say how happy i
I am to see the evidences of prosperity!
that now surround you. The first time j
that I saw the place where -our city nowj
stands it was little more than a wilder
ness. When I saw it again I looked up
on blackened and deserted ruins, uponj
the sad wrecks of noble fortunes, uponj
desolated hearthstone?, and upon a ruined;
and strickened people. Your city had'
been devasted and laid waste by an act'

look upon it again to day, and traces of
desolation and destruction are no longer

structures rise upon every hand to mark

grand era of prosperity that is yet to come, j
and I rejoice to sec you going on build

Neglected Wives.
Man discovers he must sacrifice too
much of his liberty if he makes his wife
a real companion, and he speedily sinks
back into the habits of single blessedness,
and leaves her neglected at home. His
companions soon forget to regard Mm as
a married man at all : his old corner at
the club is again filled, and he is as as
siduous as ever at whist and billiards.
You hear in the morning that he reach
ed home at daylight; or perhaps he tells
of adventures which smack of the old
rowdy life which he once promised to ad
jure, loung men with a lofty idea of
what married life should be either de
spise him, or learp to think that mar
riage is, after all, very much of a lottery,
in which the- blanks vastly out number
the prizes. Those who are hard upon
women insist that his life cannot be a
comfortable one, or he. would
not spend
his leisures iu the tavern : while others
gifted with keen eyesight, merely pity
the poor creature who is pining iu soli
tude, and perhaps breakiug her heart.
Curiously enough, the man who shirks
home duties, aud whose wife is a mere
drudge or housekeeper, has always won
derful things to say in praise of her. She
is a paragon of a wife, and he is the best
of husbands; she adores him, and will
not permit him to mope at home, but in
sists that he shall continue to seek the
society of his old friends. Every story
he tells of himself proves that he has no
idea of being faithful to his marriage
vows ; but he asserts roundly, and with
much apparent sincerity, that his faith in
her integrity is nnbouuded. Whatever
he may do, she remains true, and at what
ever hour of the night or morning he may
return home, he is sure to see the "faith
ful light" burning in his window. He
has apparently uo idea that he is inflict
ing the keenest suffering upou her, or, if
the thought crosses his mind, he dismis
ses it without a pang. Perhaps he is kind,
as far as mere words go, and does not for
get the outward show of respect which
he owes her. A man must be low, in
deed, who cau use hard words and be sys
tematically cruel to his wife. There are
ruffians, no doubt, who silence the com
plainings and repionings of their wives
with drunken oaths and brutal language,
but we will not sully our pages by further
allusion to such men. We arc trying to
sketch a man who does no more than tax
the patience and endurance of his com
panion, but perhaps we shall sec that even
he, with the veneer and polish of a gen
tleman upon him, may sometimes forget
the boor homage which is due to the
weakness of a woman.
Men who are
themselves sufficiently mindful of their
duties are often curious to know what
sorts of homes such men can have, and
how far they are mindful of their first
duty of providing for the household ex
penses. Is there, for example, struggling
and poverty in the home while the head
is enjoying himself abroad. lie dresses,

Marriage imprisonment for life.
Mrs. Fair to bo Hanged.
San Francisco, June 3. Mrs. Fair was
sentenced to day to be hanged for the
shooting of Judge Crittenden. Her coun
sel this morning attempted to impeach
Littlcfield, one of the jurors. An affida
vit made by Win. McNamra, a special
policemen, was read, to the effect that he
had heard Littlefield say at the time of
the shooting that if he were a juror in
the case he would hang the womau. Ou
being examined for a juror he swore that
he had formed no opinion and had no
bias either way. Mr. Littlcfield present
ed a counter affidavit denying the whole
statement of McNamar. -
At the conclusion of argument on the
motion for a new trial on the ground con
tained in the affidavit impeaching the
jurors the Judge said he had given the
! matter
carctul consideration and would
be glad to have the least doubt as the jus
tice of the verdict. lhe prisoner had
every advantage the law could give. The
case, that should have been tried iu ten
days, occupied a month. Iu the case of
the jurors he did not think they had
formed a direct opinion, merely a news
paper impression ; and if jurors were to
be excluded from reading newspapers, we
never could get a jury.
The Judge further said it was hard to
make any Court believe that man of re
spectability would work themselves into
i :l j ur7 or laG PurPoso of securing a con-
-. t. i r .
viction. it ouiy remains ior me now to
pass the sentence, the saddest duty of my
life.
Mr. Campbell I resume my motion
for judgment upon the verdict.
Mr. Cook I ask permission to file on
Monday my ground of exception nunc
pro tunc.
The Court Laura D. Fair, you arc in
dicted by the Grand Jury of the city and
county of San Francisco for the unlawful
killing of Alexander Crittenden. That
indictment was sent to this Court for trial.
You were furnished with an impartial
jury. You were ably defended by coun
sel. The jury pronounced you guilty.
Have you any legal cause to show why
the judgment of the Court should not be
pronounced upon you 1
Profound silence reigned in the Court,
broken only by the sobbing of the pris
oner's mother and of the women who
sat by her. The prisoner sat with her
face buried iu her hands, but otherwise
composed and motionless, and made no
response. After a few moments' pause
the Judge, with trembling voice, said :
"The judgment of the Court is that on
Friday, the 23th day of July next, you,
by the Sheriff appointed, be hanged by
the neck until you are dead ; and may
God have mcrcey on your soul."
The scene in the court room during
the remarks of the Judge and the deli
very of the sentence was one of intense
excitement. The room was not crowded,
few supposing that the case would be
closed to day. The Prisoner, while the
Judge was speaking, watched him eager
ly. When he said he saw no ground for
a new trial she bowed her head in her
mother's lap and wept bitterly, but soon
recovered her composure. A number of
ladies were present, all of whom wept
when sentence was being pronounced.
After the adjournment of the Court the
prisoner's mother, Mrs. Lane, confronted
the reporters, saying with excitement and
anger :
"Now you have got what you wanted,
haven't you ? You have got her hung.
I hope it gives you joy."
With difficulty she was pacified. The
prisoner, on leaving the courtroom, bow
ed to the reporters and officers of the
Court, saving she forgave all. She asked
the Sheriff to prevent her jailer from
handcuffing her and chaining her to the
floor of the cell, as he had threatened to
do. The Sheriff a?suted her he would al-
low no such treatment.
The excitement in the street was in
tense. Hundreds of people were waiting
to see her p:
)ass to her carriage.

Man or Woman ?
The authorities of St. Louts arc just
now in a quandary over some sort of a be
ing that is capable of transforming itself
into both man and womau (to all outward
appearance), at pleasure. This remark
able personage represents both a man and
a woman, as occasion or convenience may
require. Ills (or her) advent in St. Louis
began with rentiug elegant apartments
for himself and sister. The next day tho
sister wa3 found iu the room, but was not
seen to enter. She said her brother had
gone out, and would be in towards even
ing and pay the rent. Watch was kept
for tho coming of the brother, but he
came not. During the vigil of the land
lady the brother was seen to go out, who
informed her that he had given the money
to his sister, but upon repairing to tho
room no sister could be found. Still la
ter the brother came in, and the sistor
wa3 seen to go out, she telling the samo
story of her brother, but no brother could
be found in the rooms, neither could the
parties be found together. This kind of
farce was enacted for several days, when
the lady of the house thiukiug she had
been bewitched applied to the police for
succor, but they could not find the broth
er in, and failing in getting her rent, the
landlady caused the removal of her mys
terious tenant. She next turned up at a
hotel where she "sponged" dinners one
day as a young man, and next day as a
woman. He, she, or rather it, was then
arrested and subjected to a medical ex
amination, but even that failed to solve
the mystery. The doctors looked wise,
and shook their heads, declaring their
inability to give correct information ia
regard to its sex. The matter is still bo
iog investigated ; in tho meantime he is
allowed to don such apparel as she chooses,
license being given it to that effect.
Seasonable Eints about Svrine.
It is said that the hogs that have been
marketed during the recent packing sea
sou were of better quality than those of
any former season. Farmers are begin
ning to pay more attention to the breed
ing and management of swine, but there
is still room for improvement in the selec
tion of the most improved breeding ani
mals, the construction of pens, and the
preparation of food. Sufficient attention
is not paid to the wants of "the animals iu
summer ; they are in many places left to
depend entirely on clover and gras3, get
no grain and have no defence from the
heat of the sun, or from rain. When a
hog is roaming at large, he is his own
physician, aud selects such plants, etc.,
as are remedies for his diseases. Swine
are particularly fond of plants which con
tain a large proportion of sulphur. Com
mon mustard, or a few plants of wild mus
tard, will supply this, lladishcs and tho
top rind of the rutabage contain sulpher,
and may be used with good effect. The
peculiar smell of horse radish arises from
the sulphurous volatile oil in it. When
hogs are shut up in a yard or pen, they
should be supplied with preventives of
the diseases to which they are subject.
A mixture of earth and chalk should al
ways be within reach. Coal sshes or
powdered charcoal are essential. Salt
should be given daily in small quantities.
A few grains of nitre are beneficial in
warm weather. Sulphur in some shape
should always be available. Perfect clean
liness should bo observed, and regularity
in feeding, etc. Now that cheese fac
tories are becoming so general, it is im
portant for farmers to kuow that when
and barley meal make excellent fattening
food for swine. UVs'ern Rural.

When an animal 13 found licking its
fellow, it is proof that uneasiness is pres
ent in the stomach, and the licking of his
neighbor is habit contracted by instinct,
with a view to removing the unpleasant
ness. Unfortunately, iustinct is not suf
ficent at all times to avoid dangerous
practices, and if we take for granted that
