they Applaud It is Candor.
The writer can vouch for the truth
o the following incident, which wa*
derived from an unqu •stionahlc soutce :
It was in the fa’l of 1807 that an
ex-Co (federate soldier w ho had lost
fortune by the “into cmbrrk unpl
un i was about to in mercantile
hie, visited by invitutiou, a distant relu.
tive residing in Diylestown, PeniiByl
vaiia. Tho name of that kinsmau was
Gen. W. W. li. Davis, formerly Gov
ornor of New Mexico, aud the author
of‘El Clin go,” a work on that country
pronounced by Huron Hun bolt tv be
■ he most authentic hi.-t ry of its people
and predacious extant. J1 is In st,
though a Deinocr.ft of the “streightest
gcct” who opposed hostilities to the l ist,
when the toesin of war sounded, like a
true man, neveitheless, rai.-ed a icgi
ment in 18(71, and went to the fi Id as
its commander, lie was present at the
scige ot C’hnrlcston, and at one time bad
chat go of a brigade, receiving a icvcre
wound in tlie action on John’s Is and.
Had all the Feleral regiments been
officered like the 104t,h Pennsylvania,
wc should hear nothing of the vandal¬
ism which has left a damning sta’n up¬
on the old flag which was once ti e
symbol of justice and genuine hbett”.
Gol, Davis was inflexible in his disci¬
pline, and degraded and punished in
the severest manner, a soldier of his
command who had stolen a i/oiixg from
an old South Carolina lady. This theft
to their honor be it spok n, was the on¬
ly outrage of the kind ever committed
by the regiment Gen. Daws is now

It clinneed that our informant airived
at his relative’s house, ou the eve of' a
grand and most imposing c-remony.
General Davis, the former culu-icl of
th0 1 l,h ’ al infinite pairs and exer
l, on, had procured the eifction of a uo
b!c marble column to the in mory of
the gallant dead of ihe regiment he
In,d raised. Th next day tlie inonus

music, and magnitle ntly esju pped and

The li ilf starved Confederate felt

breakfast table in the house of his
friend, which sparkb'd wish glistening

A Joke Spoiled,

ment* to their papers. One of the,
in «t distorted ami ridiculous things wo
have seen in a long time has been cir¬
culate! in the papers lor some time
past in reference to a witty remark of
Stephen A. Doughs, at Uo'woll Cobb’q
expense.
Air. Cobb gave a social party in honor
of Hie Georgia delegates to the Balti
uiorc Democratic Convention, to which
Air. Douglas was iuvited A constitu¬
ent of Mr O .Lb, after tho wine had
mellowed the hearts of the party, called
on the party to drink to a toast. After
a little pauso the ardent admirer of the
g’eat Cobb—may Georgian said, * Here’s to Howell
lie live, to President of
the United States.” .Quick as lightning
Douglas, with his infectious laugh,
said, "J’y George, Cobb, your friend 1*
wishing you a very long li/e,” and, as
might have been expected from such a
splendid stroke of wit, it shook who the
room. All enjoyed it, and those
knew r obl> c. n umleis and low hearti¬
ly lie joined in the laugh, and how in-«
cvitubly lie built on the joko. While
Cobb was a man of ardent and decided
temperament, there never lived a more
amiable man, and lie passed through his
checkered and arduous life without a
canker spot of malice or revenge in hia
heart.
A Uein From Whittier.
To appreciate tho truth and beauty
ot the following lines from the pin of
Whittier, says the Hudson Republican,
is necoamry to know the circumstan
(,cs under which they were written. A
friend of Whittier’s youth, who had
Mpent most of his life on tho Illinois
prairies, ca 1 d on the bachelor poet,
a' his home in Amc+bury. aud together
they recall d the scenes of their child¬
hood, and briefly recounted the courso
ol their after life. MMiittier seemed
much affected by the allusions of his
friend to his prairie home, whore a wife,
childtcn, and agrand-cltihl “Constance,”
awaited his return ; and on being asked
btr his autograph, replied, * Call on your
way to tho ears ami L will hand it to
you.’’ The friend called and received
the following gem. which ho permits
