Savannah, Qa., February ‘«i4,1871.
Messrs. Herring, Parrel & Sherman, 251
Broadway, New York:
Gents.—The large and destructive fire of
February22nd, consumed the building occu
pied by us. We weie using one of your Her
ring’s Patent Champion Safes, made sixteen
years ago. It contained Seven Hundred Dol
lars in money, our books and valuable papers
V\ o were unable to get the safe open until
eighteen hours after the fire. We found the
contents in excellent condition; the only injury
was the binding of the books, drawn by the
steam. This test of the fire proof quality of
your safes was a severe one, as all can testify
who saw the fire. The amount of combusti
ble materials of the building itself, added to the
cotton and other goods stored in it, made as
hot a fire as often occurs.
Respectfully yours;

Permanence in Affection,
M. De Tocqueville, in his work
on '‘Democracy in America,” ob
serves that the habit of inattention
must be considered the greatest bane
of llte democratic character. And
as inattention and want of applica
tion in mniu-rs of thought generate
a superficial and unreliable condi
tion of the intellect, so, i* - like man
ner, may the integrity of our affec
tions be endangered by improper
cultivation. No one can fail to no
tice, as characteristic of our social
life, the extreme facility with which
persons pass from one experience in
affection to another. The apparent
want ol injury to the individual in
these rapid passages from on** affec
tion to another can only be account
ed for on the supposition that the af
fection was of the most shallow and
delusive nature. The tendencies of
fashionable society are toward the
fostering ol the most transient and
inefficient ties of affection. It has
been said that great passions no
longer show themselves. And cer
tain it is that shallowness and vacil
lation, waul of depth and of faith
fulness, are the properties which
most completely characterize our
conduct of life with regard to the
affections.
The irfluence of our intellectual
habits on our affections may be
traced in this matter. We are so
inconstant in our opinions and be-
considering, our conduct is to often
controlled by mere “gross sense and
custom,” rather than by enlightened
views of our nature and our duty.
W e should elevate our conceptions
of duty by elevating our sympa
thies. Our affections should not de
scend lo low and trivial aims, but
should quicken our thoughts and re
fine our sentiments. The tendencj'
of our social habits is to make us
miserably superficial in thought and
in feeling. There is no dignity, no
culture in our “modern society,”
that has its permanent influence.
All is in motion without definable
aim. In our conduct with regard
to our affections, it appears to me
that we should resist this constant
motion and seek to cultivate perma
nence in our affections. No degree
of talent or accomplishment can do
away with the necessity for ibis
quality. Let us chetish those affec
tions we have as “light-bringers,”
that shall not fail to help us in the
earnestness of life. The cultivation
of permanence in those affections
which are well founded within us
has a most^eneficent influence on the
character. It makes us more sin
cere and more conscientious—brings
a dignity and thoughtfulness is our
conduct that we can ill spare.
No worthy character can a man
lorm for himself without anchoring
his affections, and that worthily!
To be given up to the charm of sue
liefs, all our intellectual conclusions cess,on in lJ,ese matters, is to have
lie so much at the mercy of change, en j e ^ ec ^ upon that dissipation oi

and we so quickly pass from one ob
ject of thought to another, that the
habit of the intellect is transferred
to the affections with results the
character of which admits of but
little doubt. The evils of this in
constancy, this facility of change in
the objects of the affections, are sad
enough through the course of a life 1 *
lime. He who has no deep and last
ing affeclions has never known the
capacities of his own nature nor
sounded tfie depths of sympathy in
others. The depth and force of
character which in general belong to
the man who has strong affeclions,
is in striking contrast with the weak
ness of the opposite. This tenden
cy toward weakness and inconstan
cy in affection, it were lolly to assert
as possessing every mind, ytt such
f ^ Xon r <v9. *v
of training and culture, that its in
fluence extends to the best minds
among us, vitiating the spirit and
force of our feelings. Intellectual
growth presupposes a succession of
objects, and the ability to pass
quickly from one object of thought
to another. But at the same time
nothing of strong import can be ac
complished without concentration.
The culture which we receive as
men and w omen of the world is tru
ly wonderful. The multiplicity and
variety of the objects which claim
our attention generate an adroit and
superficial state of mi.id, which is
apparently on every hand. “Our
system of education fosters restless
ness”—“the traveling of the mind.”
This traveling of the mind, this
constant presence of the desire for
change, we recognize as having its
influence not only on our intellectual
life, but also on our affections.
The habit of patient attention, of
concentration, is rarely to be noticed;
and, therefore, instead of accuracy
and depth in our mental convictions,
we have that superficiality of knowl
edge and inconstancy of beliefWhich
has its perfect analogy in the want
of permanence and faithfulness in af
fection, that we are considering.
Among the dissatisfactions arising
from inconstancy, from a succession
in the object of our affections, the
greatest is the inability at last to
thoroughly fix the affections at all.
Such an experience corrupts the
man’s whole exislence. He has
wasted his substance in insincere
and improvident living, and hence
forth shall go through the world
without tasting of the diviner depths
of human affection. There is no
doubt that the highest affections are
of gradual formation—-are a growth
of lime. If we are impa
tient, and would have the fruit
before the flower has well gone, we
shall never possess ourselves of the
highest experience in these things.
The final results on the rhaiacter
of a person, the object of whose af
fections are constantly changing, is
apparent. It is simply to fill him
with jiolish°d insincerity. And as
there is in himself the want of truth,
of reality, so that he may not trust
in his own feelings, he comes at last
to disbelieve in the reality of the af
fections of others. As a man bro
ken down of excess may not trust
his bodiiy senses, so trusts he not his
own heaitor that of others. As in
the action of the intellect there may
be a reckless squandering of mental
ibrce, so also there may be in our af
fections ; and the injury to heallhful-
uess of action is as unavoidable in
the latter case as in the former

He reached the spot after innumer

Guelph and Campbell.—The
Prince of Wales and the Marquis of
Lome are evidently not on good
terms, if we may judge from the fol
lowing, which appeared in the
Dundee Advertiser, which paper had
it from its London correspondent:
“A curious story is in circulation
with regard to the relations of the
Marquis of Lome and the Princess
Louise to the other members of the
royal family. I believe that at the
Duke of Sutherland’s banquet to the
Russian Grand Duke, now in this
country, the Marquis and Princess
were treated as members of the royal
family. The Prince of Wales, how
ever, will not accept this view of the
position, and at the State ball the
other night gave orders that the Mar
quis should not be admitted at the
royal entrance. He was according
ly refused admittance, and the Prin
cess declined to enter except with
her husband, saying that her place
was where he was. The Marquis
would not take the Princess in by
the general public entrance, and the
result was that they did not ft tend
the ball. The circumstance has
caused a good deal of talk in the up
per circles.”

A Dirty Radical Slander Refuted.
Memphis, July 21.—The following ap
pears in the Avalanche :
“Before and since my arrival in Mem
phis, this day, my attention has been
called to a slanderous article in cer
tain Radical newspapers which at
tack my private character, in connec
tion with a lady who, it is freely stated,
was traveling under noy charge. It ia
deemed due go myself, as well as my
personal lrietnds, to state unequivocally
and without delay, the story in tbe
whole and in all its essential parts is
unmistakably the instigation of malice,
and I hereby pronounce it utterly false.”
(Signed] Jefferson Davis.
It is scarcely necessary for Mr. Davis
to notice a slander which nobody, not
even his decent enemies believed. The
New Orleans Times thus comments upon
the shameless attempt of a base partizan
to fix a stigma upon the character of
one whose social life has been the ex
emplification of all Christian virtues.
“Possibly, * remarks the 'Times, “nothing
has heretofore been so offensive in
Radical eyes, as the singular purity aud
blamefessness of Jefferson Davis’ pri
vate life. The contrast in this respect be
tween a fallen chief and his triumphant
tevilers, has proved a silent rebuke and
reproach against the sanctity claimed
for their successful cause. It is no won
der, then, that a strong desire should ex
ist to assail it, or that among such peo
ple one could be found sufficiently loir
aud debased to set afloat an iniquitous
story, so entirely untrue and malignant,
as to earn for its originator a clear title
to the scorn aud contempt of every re
spectable man and woman in the land.
The fiendishness which prompted *nd
the ribald malevolence whioh persists in
circulating so cruel a falsehood, it is well
to know, is horn of the same charity
which gave tho country emancipation,
and preserved iuviolate the “best Gov
ernment under the sun.” It came from
our brothers, with whom we are in
vited to cultivate relations of amity and
union ; and of such is the measure of
their sincerity aud encouragement.—
We trust to see the better and more
chivalrous among them yet repudiate
this foul slander upon an aged and hon
orable gentleman, whose greatest fault
consisted in sacrificing all that was dear
and valuable in life to his sense of duty,
and what he deemed the welfare of oth
ers. How many of bis detractors will
