It was great pity that our Govern ment caught Jefferson Dnvis in his flight to thb seaboard. V6 should liavo helped him out of tlio country, and supplied him with nil the boats he needed to carry himself and hii plun der anywhere, so long.as it was away from our shores. Ho might have still been wandering fn some foreign laud, disguised as an old woman, and mijjht have taken from the South, by the force of attraction, some of the kind red spirits of both sexes that hover around him like foolish gnats nround an expired candle. By his capture the world lost a reconstructed granny and we gained an elephant. If some of our boys, when they 'got their hands on the old traitor, hod practicully illustrated that sung ,. "Wo'll hang Jeff. Davis to a Sour npplo tree I" the sudden taking off would have had a good effect on the public peace. But the hand of retributive justice was stayed. By tho action of Greeley and other sentimental grannies, he be came i martyr; was bearded at the public cxpeDto for about two years, aud but for his hatred of Yankee greenbacks, we doubt not he would have entered suit against Uuela 8am long since to obtain heavy datmiges for defamation of character nnd false imprisonment. By the capture of Sur ratt we robbed the Papal government of a poor soldier, and restored a fugi tive from justice to tho status of a cit izen. By catching Davis, wo prevent ed an oM womm irora r-i-ei iint nn. ' der ah assumed name, and inflicted !. c ....!. . upuu um oouiu u jreaier injury man the war itself. Davis appears to us like the ghost of the defunct Confeder acy. Just when the people forget his evil work, he walks into their midst aud frightens everybody from tho la bor of rebuilding what he tore down. The men of tho South know him pret ty well; they remember his iguomi uious flight from Richmond when Lee waB lighting like a lion to protect if; his haughty, overhearing nature, when in authority, aud his craven spirit when a captive; and they aro about difgustcd with him and his antecedents. But the women like him, for some rea son or other probably because he tried to pass for one when he fled ; and knowing this, the arch traitor goes about with his blarney, inducing the women to train their children to hate the Federal Government, and when they grow to manhood to tight agaiust it if the opportunity ofl'ers. We hear of him in Southern schools, at fairs, legisltttures-anywhere and everywhere ho can get a word iu fur the lost cause. His last appearance 'was before a gath ering of ex-rebel odicerf, styling them selves "The Southern Historical Socie ty," at Montgomery White. Sulphur Springs, Virginia. This last speech is lilllc better than treason itself, aud if his words have any effect, they have done incalculable mischief to the pros perity of the South. It is about time for Davis to subside. The South has paid dearly euotigh for his advice, and the sooner they give him a free puss to Spain or France, or some other pluce where busybodies and agitators are wanted, the better it will be for the peaco nnd prosperity of the y.hole country. .. . PM'tKV I'O.XUl'CTUKN. The Detroit Free Pre relntcs how Conductor Wilsey, of the Michigan Southern Railroad, dealt with tlireo gamblers who had plucked a man on his train. He demanded that they should return tho booty, but they re fused. Tho Free Press proceeds : Wilsey "shed" his coat for business, and all ladies in the car got up and ran out. "Ah 1 ha I" said one of tho gamblers as tho conductor's coat came of!', "this is better 1" and he pulled out a revolver and lined it on Wilsey 's eye. "Cotumcuco shooting!" replied the conductor, and out cauio his own shooting iron, aud for twenty seconds two revolvers were held up into two men's faces, hammers up and fingers on the triggers. The other two gam blers begun, to feel for their hip pock ets, when Wilsey quickly said, "If you don't hold up your hands I'll blow the top of your heads oil'!" They quit feeling, and at that moment a Cleve land merchant aud a Toledo lake cap tain cH'.ne up, each with ft cocked re vo'Tsr, und demanded to be counted "in." At this'tho gamblers oflered to restore the watch, aud when they had done so tho conductor mads them re turn the full $55. "Now, then," said he when ho was through with them, "get off this train 1 I shall remember you, nnd if I ever catch one of you nu my traiu again I'll have the engineer run her up to sixty miles an hour, and my brakemen will pitch yuu into the first swamp !" The fellows wore ready to go, and as each one passed through the door a piece of calf skiu aud solo leather struck him under the coat tail with full swing, materially assisting him to reach tho platform, with the lcat poible deluy. UIXT TIIIIKB nrt'KS AHEAD." II. C. Wilson,, a lawyer at Troy, Vermont, is one of the men of that class which comprehends the value of the"Almighty Dollar," nnd seldom lets one slip from h'13 grasp. Now, there is a law in this State which allows' a man in whose Geld a buck escapes dur ing certain days in the year, to add said buck to his flock as his individ al property. Among the lawyer's neighbors is ahoy named Alrich. Now it appears that about a year ago this boy owned a buck, which, on one oc casion, butted through the lawyer's fence, nnd entered upon his freehold to inspect his flock. As this fact came to tho knowledge of the lawyer, his familiarity with the statute "enabled him to see money in the escape, and he forthwith added to his inventory a gain of "one buck." Tho boy appear ed and appealed with the full force of sorrow's eloquence for -his property. But the lawyer taking down his stat ute, explained tho law, and told tho boy that if he wanted to grow up and be a rich man, he must be "Irooly loil," submitting willingly to tho laws and the Constitution of his country. Tho boy retired to wait for belter days, which did not appeur till last week ; when four of Wilson's fine bucks escaped into tho boys's field. They woro care! for, of course. As the law yer heard of the escape he went over to relieve tho boy of further trouble. A'.ric'u was at home, Wilson presented his case, pointod to his mark on the back of the bucks, "cussed" the divi sion fence, which he would have re paired at once at his own expense, and offered the boy a dime to help drive the bucks home. "Mr. Wilson," said the boy, "I have been reflecting upon the excellent advice your were so kind as to give me Inst year, anl have con cluded to submit to the laws, obey the Constitution and try to 'get ckh." I hare adopted ymif game and beat you just three bucks!" After wheeling round three or four times in confusion, Mr. Wilson's eyes rested upon the gate, through which he passed, and the last the boy saw of him he was scratching his head and solemnly stepping to ward home.

But we fancy that even Poor Richard never heard of so picturesque an instance of this virtue as the two which come from Iowa and Virginia. The Iowa tale is that of a farmer whose infanl daughter was late ly attacked by a snake. A, quick witted woman seizad a spade and kill ed the animal, in the effort breaking tho handle of the weopon. What did the high minded farmer do?' He made the woman, under threat of a law-suit, pay the full value of tho spade 65 cents. 'Tis a height of virtue to which few men could attain. The Virginia story is that of a happy bridegroom who, on departing from the parsonage where the fatal ceremony had been performed, handed the parson a fat yellow envelope. It contained a largo piece of brown paper nnd nothing more. The loveliness of a character which, in the midst of youth, aud joy, and affection, and good clothes, could so tenderly endeavor to make a minis ter happy, may vell be revered. ' The writers iu some of our maga zines are becotniug anxious as to the growing celibacy amoug the wealthy and fnshiouable- classes of society. Wheu all were poor all could afford to be married, but now, with ten times more wealth and comfort than our fathers had, our young men ure "too poor to marry I" We do not confess to any anxiety ourselves on this subject. Wheu young men get so proud that they will not begin their married life in a cottage and young women get so fashionable that they must ' follow all the tortuosities of tho grass-hopper and the Grecian Bend, we caunot re gard celibacy as anything else than a merciful provision of Providence against the perpetuation of the species. One of the wittiest as well as one of the most brilliant men Pennsylvania has produced, was the la to George W. Barton, of Philadelphia, who once oc cupied a seat on the bench. Trying a case before a judgo who was chiefly remarkable for obtuseness, he took oc casion to say that he had often seen a great uss iu judicial robes.

When certain wits wfre abusing the English climate, Charles the Second declared there was none better iu Eu rope, because nowhere could one com fortably be out-doors more hours in the day nnd more days in tho year. The Nebraska climate is not inferior to the English. It has colder days and hotter days, but of those days which John Bull calls "nnRty," it has oat one fourth as many as John grum bles at all his lif long, unless they drive him. to suicide or emigration. Tho mean annual temperature nt Fort Kearney is 47 7' a appears by government observations. That of Chio.igo is ono degree colder 40 7'. But Fort Kearney u more than 2, 000 feet above the sea-level and must be much colder than tho southeastern portions. In these the menn tempera ture is 52. A weather-record mado last winter at Plymouth, a colony "on the Burlington and Missouri River railroad, shows the maximum of cold to have been 16 below, and that only once, January 28th ; the mercury fell below zero on only twelve dHj's, and on only two days stood below zero at noon. The April storm was fatal to men and beasts, but only to those men who were caught far from shelter, and to those cattle which had long been only half fed or worn out by hard driving. Cattle that wero in good heart weath ered it, though not uudcr cover. The cold was not great, nor did snow Cover tho ground.

The Barnesville (Ohio) Enterprise says: "Au old gentleman and lady from Pennsylvania are visiting, our fair whose life history is somewhat singular. It appears that a widow la dy took au orphan boy to raise, and when he arrived at the age of 18 she married him, she Uieu being in her fiftieth year. Ten years ago they took an orphan girl to raise.

Andrew Jackson was once making a stump speech in a country village out West. Just as he was concluding, Afnos Kendall, who sat beside him, whispered, "Tip 'era a little Latin, General ; they won't be satisfied with out it." The "hero of New Orleans" instantly thought of a few phrases he knew, and, iu a voice of thunder, wound up his speech by exclaiming: "E pluribus untiui, Sine qua uon, Ne plus ultra, Multura in parvo." The effect was tremendous, and the. shouts could be heard for miles. 'How aro you, my oldriend Y pleas antly remarked a loue, lorn and drun ken individual as he approuched the water of the river at,.

The nppronching close of nnother year brings with it the occasion of re newed thanksgiving and acknowledge ment to the Almighty Ruler of the universe for the unnumbcrod i mercies which he has bestowed upon us. Abun dant harvests have been among the re wards of industiy. With local excep tions, health has been among the bless ings enjoyed. Tranquilly at home, and peace with other nation, have prevailed. Frugal industry is regain ing its merited recognition ' and its merited rewards gradually, hut, tinder the Providence of God, surely, as trust, the , nation is recovering from ibe lingering results of a drtadful (,cjvil strife. For these and all other mei cies vouchsafed it becomes us as a peo ple to return heartfelt and grateful acknowledgements, and with . our thanksgiving, we tnnv. unite in prayers for the cessation of local and tempora ry sufferings.

Asso ciated with the earlier recollections of a great many men and women is tho memory of the Bath brick and emery stone wherewith the knives .aud forks, and pans and kettles, and other kitch en artiles were at stated times "scoured up." That primitive mode prevails to-day in thousands of families who have never used Sapolio. But once let Sa polio be used for this purpose and that housewife never wants Bath' brick or emery stone nny more. Sapo lio not only scours off rust ; and , tar nish, it brightens, bestows a polish as brilliant ns new, and does it in one tenth the time required by any other substance. Sold everywhere.
