SATURDAY, JUNE 3,1871.

Jeff. Davis.

Senator DaviS—President Davis—Prisoner Davis, and plain Jeff. Davis, an old broken-down, superanuated old man, far gone in his dotage, and without one particle of influence anywhere who could not "set a squadron in the field," nor command a corporal's guard who was always a quarrelsome, garrulous man, and like Paddy from Cork, never happy unless in a fight who was a traitor to his country and now owes his life to its clemency, is making some very foolish speeches in some of the Southern States. To know just what those speeches are, is a matter of the smallest importance. The old dotard is as harmless as a two year old child, and as cross as a colicky baby.

The greatest mistake the Government ever made with him, was in not compelling him to continue in the costume ho had donned when he was arrested. That garment became him admirably—he should now be dressed up in petticoats, turned over to Mother Stanton, and put to work in the woman's movement. There we think he could command some influence, for certainly he has none among men. He talks of not accepting the "situation," and still holdingon to the "lost cause." Poor old man, his misfortunes have certainly made him mad. If he had one half of the common sense or modesty of the great General of the rebel forces, he would now keep his mouth shut and we would advise him to go to the grave of that misguided man, and learn a lesson on silcncc.

There are two things which Jeff. Davis has always been celebrated for— inordinate self-esteem and jackass stubbornness. In his conceit he imagines there is a shadow of the "lost cause" left, and his stubbornness irapells him to say so. The first is as ridiculous as the second is unwise.

What is the most unaccountable thing connected with this old, cross, and crack-brained man is, that his sayings and doings are taken up by a portion of the Northern press, and heralded all over the country. This is done, not that any intelligent man supposes there is really any importance to be attached to what he does say, or that he has any substantial influence either North or South, but that the attention of the people may, for the time, be diverted from the true condition of the political alr'airs of the country, and corrupt wire-pullers and ambitious place-holders be kept in power. The scheme has worked well in the past, and a few simple minded people may be influenced by it now. IJut ex-United States Senator, ex-President, ex-Petti-coat Jeff. Davis is about played out, and the sooner he learns it the better lor himself and all the fools Norta and South who endeavor to make him a political hobby-horse, or gape at his incoherent speeches.

Why,'what has this Government to frar from fifty thousand such 'Presidents of Insurance Companies" as Jell'. Davis. H_, and all of his followers, are as harmless to work injury to this Government as Hies buzzing around thff elephant's ears. 0:ie muscular action of the animals flaps, and the little tormentors are sent reeling into another world. Who cares what this defeated, whipped, and destroyed man says or thinKs. That he feels vindictive at this Government is perfectly natural, and that he would destroy it, is self-evident, if he were not entirely powerless.

A man who is whipped, then imprisoned, then driven from the country, then disfranchised aud all the time disgraced, is very apt to feel slightly aggrieved at the power that does it. There is a vast amount of forgiveness in human nature, but not quite enough, even tempered and subdued by all the Christian virtues, to make us forget all this. The old Adam is an old belligerent, and still retains some the of amiable disposition of the tiger. •. l:' "Oh, it ofiends my very soul" to see pot-house politicians, cross-road blabbers, and eight-by-ten editors "mouth" these sayiugs of poor old "Jefl." and attempt to make political capital thereby. They may find a few political doughheads here and there who can be thus influenced, but the ring of that demagogical gong is about ended. "The issues growing out of the war" can not be again revived. They are dead, and so are the partisan "hacks, all over the country, who are now endeavoring to reinstate them.

WE did the editor of the Journal injustice in making a quotation from his paper a few days ago, and we are glad he called our attention to it this morning. It was entirely unintentional on our part, and owing alone to hasty reading. It will be recollected that we made the following quotations from one of its editorials: "For many years back

u-e

have believed that

political organizations to be in antagonism to the best interests of the people and the country."

Which should have read as follows "For many years we have believed that political organization to be in antagonism to the best interests of the people and the country."

The reader will see that the difference in the quotations consists in the singular and plural of the word organization, and which makes the saying of the editor entirely different from what we supposed he did say.

We thought he said he had for many years) b?liev0cl political organizations

to be in antagonism, &e., &c., whereas he did say that, "that political organization," meaning the Radical party, was in antagonism, &e., &c. The little letter ."8," it will be seen, changes the entire construction we put on the sentence, and we are free to admit wo made the mistake, though innocently, and we ask the editor of the Journal's pardon.

But he need not have bristled up so much like the "fretted porcupine" about it, and showed such a keen relish for a fight. Have a little more Christian forbearance, dear "neighbor." Why, you are as the belligerent as the little fellow around the corner.

Curing Cancer with Kcd Clover Tea. The Newark Courier prints the follow-

"Some remarkable cures effected by the use of a decoction of the com.mon red clover, drank as a tea and used as a wash, have lately called the public attention to the medical properties of this plant. This, however, can not be said to be anew remedy it has been employed for some years past, and there are some apparently well attested cases of its otticacy even after the disease had become distressingly painful, and all hope was given up. The following report of one of these cases has been written for us by a correspondent "Mr. Joel Rood, son-in-law of Mr. Truman Woodford, has a cousin residing in Great Barrington, Mass., the wife of a hotel keeper, who has a cancer in the breast which became so serious that the whole gland was removed by a surgeon and the wound healed. About a year after the cancerous humor broke out again aud was beginning to be serious. Mr. Rood seeing the good effects of the clover tea on his father-in-law, Mr. Truman Woodford, wrote to his cousin informing her of the fact, and urging her to try the remedy. She adopPed it at once, and in a few months was entirely healed, and at the time of receiving this information, which

was

no reappearance of the humor had occurred. "The following appears in the American Dispensary, by Dr. John King, of Cincinnati "The extract of red clover, spread on linen or soft, thin leather, is said to be an excellent remedy for cancerous ulcers. It is highly recommended in illconditioned ulcers of every kind, and deep, ragged-edged and otherwise badlyconditioned burns. It possesses a peculiar soothing property, and proves an efficacious detergent, and promotes a healthful organization granulation."

Clergyman Refunds a .Small Marriage Fee. An association of Congregational ministers met in Oswego, N. Y., last week, and the points of one unofficial report made at the gathering are thus given by the Binghampton Republican:

A few days ago, one of the clergymen said a young man called upon him and asked him to officiate at his wedding, saying that the young woman whom he intended to marry lived twelve miles off, but the mairiage was to be at the house of her uncle, only four miles from the minister's house. The brevet groom gave a moderate fee in advance, borrowed the good man's buggy to bring the intended bride to the rendezvous, and at the appointed time the clergyman reached there, as best he could, and found all ready. But just then the young lady concluded she would not be married. The groom told the minister that he thought he could some day induce her to change her mind, and if so he should be brought in. In a few days he came around, the "gal had come to her oats," out ne wjm «nnui one might retract again before he could take her to her uncle's, aud to avoid all risk he had called in a clergyman right there, and made all fast. "And now, Elder," said he, "how about that fee 1 gave you? You did not do the job." The elder intimated that he had loaned him his carriage gratuitously, and had put in an appearance at the time and place named, at some cost to himself, and it was not his fault that he did not do the job. "Wall, Elder," was the response, in a triumphant tone, "and so was I there, too, and it wasn't my fault that you did not do the job—and I want my money." And he got his money.

Frail Husbands aixl a Fast Lady. Anxious mothers who are uneasy with regard to the morals of their sons, should also have an eye to their husbands. Some t'me since in Boston, Massachusetts, a very fine woman occupied private apartments on Charles street, A few of the "anxious mammas" of Beacon street, fearing lest their young sous should visit the .aforesaid rooms, and thus be seduced from the path of virtue, called upon the "fast young lady," anil requested that she should relieve their fears by removing her quarters to some other part of the city. The queenly reply of the King —for the lady was the former by nature, and the latter by name—was not that expected by the residents of Beacon street and the answer to their request, as published in the Times of that day, was as follows: "Ladies—please be seated. I am delighted that you have called I have long wished for this interview and I now tell you that it is not for your sons' welfare that you need be anxious but I am much annoyed by the frequent calls of your husbands!"

MR. MITFORD in his "Tales of Japau," socaking of Japanese actors, says "First-rate actors receive as much as thousand riyos (about £300) as their yearly salary. This, however, is a higl rate of pay and many a man has to strut before lie public for little more than his daily rice to a clever young actor it is almost enough reward to be al lowed to enter a company in which there is a famous star. The salary of the actor, however, may depend upon tho success of the theatre for dramatic exhibitions are often undertaken as speculation by wealthy persons, who pay their company in proportion to their own profit. Beside his regular pay, a popular Japanese actor has a small mine of wealth in his patrons, who open their purses freely for the privilege of frequent ing the green room. The woman's part' are all taken by men, as they used to be with us in ancient 8avs."

THERE is a chance for some of the nice young men of this city in England. The "advice which, in imitation of Mr. Gree ley, it is a custom to give young men—to go West—may be reversed to advantage. Instead of going to Colorado to dig, some young gentleman should go to London to climb. There is a fortune of $10,000,000 awaiting the young gentleman who has the energy, and pluck, and size, and shape to grasp it. It is just now in the possession of Miss Burdett Coutts, but she will |be a libel on.her sex if she is not prepared to bestow it all upon some young man before she dies.

CALIFORNIA papers tell of a man, who, having lost a considerable portion of his nose in a fight, picked up the severed part and put it in his pocket, and subsequently, having gone home and bandaged what was left, put on his best suit and started for a surgeon. When the doctor was ready to reunite the separated parts, he called for the piece, and the mutilated man, to his horror, found

that

he had teft it at home, and after searching vainly in all his pockets, said: "I beg pardon, doctor, it is a rnqgi^ joke on me, but I left my nose at horn© ju the other vest."

THESheriff of Charleston, S. C., refuses to receive any more prisoners into the County jail until he is supplied with

money to pay the expenses of keeping them. He says that the county already owes him $12,000 for the board of prisoners, and that lie has exhautsed his personal credit in buying food for them. Nevertheless, the Court of Common Pleas has decided that the law requires him to receive prisoners and provide for them, as one the duties of his office. What would be done to him if he should let them starve to. death is not mentioned.

DRY GOODS.

THE QUESTION DISCUSSED.

The following conversation recently took place between parties living in this city, and being reported to ns, we give it as nearly as possible word for word.

Mrs. B. to Mrs. R.—I saw you with a new dress on the other day as you were passing my house. How much did you pay for it? Mrs. R.—Fifty-five cents a yard.

Mrs. B.—Why, they asked me 75 cents a yard for it! Mrs. R.—Perhaps you saw it'at some other place than where I got mine. Mrs. B.—Why, where did you get yours?

Mrs. R— I bought it at the NEW YORK CITY STORE. Mrs. B.—Do you then trade at Foster Brother's I wouldn't buy a cent's worth there.

Mrs. R.—Pray, why not? I always buy where I can buy the cheapest, and I am sure there is no pleasanter place in town to trade than Foster Brothers. They are polite and agreeable, and take a great deal of trouble to suit their customers, and are never impudent to you, as they are at some other stores in town, if you don't happen to get suited.

Mrs. B.—But I have been told that they didn't sell as cheap as they advertised to do, and that if I went there to trade I wouldn't get goods as cheap as they promised to sell thtm.

Mrs. R.—Why, they constantly ask you in their advertisements to cut them out and bring them with you that may see for yourself whether they do or not sell as they advertise. Some of the other dry goods merchants have been stuffing you. They all hate the New York City Store because it has put down prices. I have been surprised to hear certain dry goods merchants in town, who claim to be gentlemen, talking in the most false and slanderous manner of the firm of Foster Brothers.

Mrs. R.—I have sometimes thought myself that what they said was hurting them and helping Foster Brothers, for I am told that the latter are now doing a larger business than ever. How long have you been trading with them, and have you always found them reliable and their goods as represented?

Mrs. R.—I have traded with them ever since they opened, and have always been well satisfied. Once, however, I got a linen lawn that they warranted would wash. After I got it partially made—the breadths all gored—I thought I would cut off a small piece and try it. I was disappointed in finding that it faded quite badly. I was, I must admit, a little put out about it, for I knew that as it was cut out they would not exchange it, for I had already had a case of this kind with another store in town that had sold me a dress that was warranted to wash, but which faded, and when I went back with it, they not only wouldn't allow me anything for it, but threw in with the refusal an unusual amount of impudence. How ever, I determined to take this dress back also, and give Foster Brothers a "bless ing" at least for warranting it to me. Going in 1 happen ad to meet Mr. Foster himself, and I commenced at him in a manner neither "child-like" nor "bland." He asked me in a very quiet manner to explain the matter to him, adding, "There is nothing we dislike more than to make mistakes, but there is nothing that gives us more pleasure than correcting them." I explained the matter to him, when he said: "As our clerk warranted it to wash, we are, of course, in honor bound to make up your loss to you, whatever that may be. We would exchange it, only it is cut into so many pieces." You may judge I was surprised when he offered to return me half my moneg. I suppose I ought to have been satisfied with that, but really the dress was of no value to me, and I told him so. "Then," said he, "we will take the goods back just as they are and return you

TV—Now vou speak of it, I do remember that they have been so advertising. But I have one objection to tLcsc gentlemen, of which I have not yet spoken, and that is that they are so personal in their advertisements.

Mrs. R.—Yes I heard Mrs. T. talking in that same

FOSTER BROTHERS.

ALL

Mrs. B.—You certainly were treated well, but do you think they still do things in that way? As your dress was lawn, you probably bought it when they first started. Perhaps they do different now.

Mrs. R.—I have every reason to think this is one of the settled principles upon which they do business. You must have certainly seen that they constantly advertise to return the money for all goods bought at their store that are not in even way satisfactory to the buyer. No other store in town will do that.

your money."

way

havn't a bit of patience with either of you. You go and listen for half an hour to the low, personal abuse heaped upon these men by some of their competitors, aud then you profess to be shocked and are virtuously indignant because this firm have simply dared to say what they have repeatedly offered to prove—that for years our dry goods store* have been charging unreasonably high profits. No one knows what they state to be a fact better than you do, for you and Mrs. T., and Mrs. H., and several others that I know, used to go to Indianapolis.and Chicago for most all your dry goods previous to Foster Brothers bringing down the prices, and yet you stand by and see a combination entered into to drive them away from town, and you hear falsehoods told in regard to them weeks before they opened, and then after their opening you see everything thrown in their way whereby their business may be obstructed—you Fee their small cash boys beaten in the streets—their goods piled at the door cut with knives—members of the firm assaulted in the streetsefforts made to entice away their help—and yet for all these you have not one single word of condemnation. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. For my part I glory in the pluck of these young men who do not propose to have any body ride rough-shod over them.

Mrs. B.—Really, Mrs. R., you are getting quite eloquent. I didn't know I should bring down upon my head so sharp a lecture, or I should have kept quiet. However, I am not sure but that there is some truth in what you say, and I promise at least to think the matter over. Perhaps I may conclude to try this firm myself, for, to tell you the truth, my friends are many of them telling me I am foolish to pay the old stores 20 or 30 per cent, more for goods than Foster Brothers are charging.

Mrs. II.—And I quite agree with them. Now to-morrow I am going around to the New Yorti City Store to get some muslin, and if you will call around and go with me and examine the goods and inspect their prices, and see with what patience and pleasantness each customer in all the throng is waited upon, I will be very much mistaken if you don't make it in the future your favorite shopping place.
