'Fromthe New Orlcan- Times) The following remarks were made by the Hon. Je fferson Davis to the Lee Association of Mobile, on the occasion of the recent excursion to this city: Mr. Chairman ami Mrmhrrx nf /Jir Fat Association: Ladies mid Geu- tlemcu—I am deeply sensible of the honor you have conferred upon me by this visit, and gratefully re cogniko tbe kinduoss which bos prompted tbc complimentary expres sions of your orator. Not the less so because I f?el that they very far exceed any merits which the un prejudiced would ascribe to me, Relieve me, I am the more proud of this, as it is the manifestation of more rare virtue iu the people I have servod to the best of my ability. Never before in tbc histo ry of mau lias there bom, so far ns I know, au instance in which a fall en clieif was followed with more affectionate devotion than his asso ciates had felt towards him iu the days of his power. For a people capable of such magnanimity, his would iudcctl be a tame spirit who did not feel it to be a glory to have suffered. AVe have passed through n terri- blo ordcnl of deprivation, of wrong and injustice; uutl yqu have borne it with a fortitude only equaled by the gallantry displayed in your desper ate effort to maintain a cause which has been crushed,but not destroyed, for it was the causo of truth, which is eternal; and with all these sad memories clustering around you, you come, not to upbraid me as re sponsible for your disasters, but to shield me in the depths of my ad versity with the warm covering of your hearts’ best affections. Cold indeed would be the naturo which did not llud iu this a solace for all its disappointments, and a consola tion for its ruined hopes. From the bottom of my heart 1 thank yon. Though the silver lin ing of the cloud be but faintly dis- disceruible, yet be not dismayed, But that I need not say to men who never feel any other fear than that of doing wrong. Then let me say rather, "Be not without hope.” The cause for which you struggled was that of justice and truth. The tri umphs of these may be postponed, but iu the ordering of Providence must come at lost Your motives must be appreciated, sooner or later, for your sacrifices were made for constitutional liberty; and those who died bravely, though they fell vainly, arc not be reckoned as the most unfortunate; for, whether bearing a sabre or a musket, whether on the battle field or upon tho ves sel’s dock, tho proper placo for a man to die is whore he dicsJiir mau. Forth*honor of tho comrades whose untimely deaths you mourn, for the respect dae to the cause you loved, for the pride you feel in your ancestry, for the hopes you cherish for your posterity, let not your eyes revert constantly to the past; bat, confronting the present and looking patriotically on to tho future, let your efforts be made to repair what has been injored,andto build again, higher and broader, on a more sol* id foundation, the temple of human liberty, after the mode! left you by your fathers. You engaged in no war for sec tional ngrandizement; yon fonglit no battle for personal advantage; you were prompted by no iimliee, and your nightly escutcheon is tur- nislicd by no sordid bate or desire of menu revenge. The war left strip|H:d of all Have your honor, and your chivalry was incapable of in flicting wrong as it wan of submit- ing to it tamely. Tbc )aist demands then, knightly generosity and faith ful devotion to the principles you inherited from revolution tin sires, and which yon will 1>c*t bless man kind by trasmitting unchanged to your posterity. Thrice and four times I am thankful for tbc indica tions which the day brings to us of tbc revival of tbc spirit in which our Union was founded, from which our prosj>erily springs, and upon which its perjK-tuity must surely depend. I had not c\j*cctcd to do more than simply to return my thanks to It would be in vain for me t- attempt to express tbe gratitude I feel. My cordial thanks arc all I have to give, and they are truly yours. Blackberries n Profitable Crop for Georgia. Under this head the Chronicle and Constitutionalist lias tbe follow ing on this subject : Last year a )>ortiou of North Car olina, and particularly about Salem, did a thriving business by shippi dried blackberries to Chicago, u tii iu that city having offered fiftc cents per pound iu any quantity. It costs one cent a pound to carry these berries from Salem to Chicago, and hence, the Salem merchants could afford to pay tbc country pco- plo from seven to twelve cents a pound for them. The little town of Salem, with scarcely over *2,000 in habitants, shipped during years over three millions of pounds of dried blackberries, for which it received $450,000, or nearly half a million dollars, equal to nine thous and bales of cotton at ten cents per pound. The crop is of course abundant almost infiuite.Tlicold fields literally iiwarm with the busy pickers dttrin; tho season. Frequently whole fam ilies turn out at early dawn and pick blackberries till dark. A bush el of berrien will yield twelve pounds of dried frnit. At 13 cents per pound, this will nnko the fruit worth $1,80 a bushel It is estima ted that it costs two cents per pound to dry the fruit It is dried iu tho simplest manner, bciug simply spread out on boards and left in tbe sun.’ The smallest child in the fai ily can watch the berries as they a drying, and can v them through the whole process. Deduct for the gross cost^ane cent per pouud for freights, two flfents for drying, and say t* cents for the merchant’s profits, and wo have tl^e net revenue of a bushel of berries tu the picker and fixed at $1.20. A child can easily pick budud a day. A laborer with five or si: children, or a widow with a lot of bairns, w ill find it a perfect Godsend to have them each bringing iu a rev enue of *1.20 a day. Tho merchants iu Salem hid itu limited order* for the berries, and could have sold ten times the quan tity they were able to procure. Tbc berries are used for pics, for eatiuj and for distiling purposes. They arc exported regularly to Europe and especially to Germany, where they are considered a great luxury This trade gave employment to a large number of people in North Carolina during tbe season last year. Men, women and chillren support themselves by it. The section about Augusta is fa mous for its blackberries, and we see no reason why the trade could not be made as profitable here North Caroliha. She Didn't Stand Up. At one of the Detroit churches where a revival is in progress, the clergyman asked those who wanted to be prayed for to stand up. Quite a number rose to their feet, and af ter services were closed one lady was heard asking another at the door: "Why didn't yon aloud up * “Ob, I didn’t want to,” was the repir- “Why, you arc a very fooliali wo- man. I wouldn’t have missed the opportunity for anything.” “Opportunity for what ?” “Why, for standing up there and showing your seal skin sack! There wasn’t another in tbe whole church !** Whole Chunks of Wisdom. Wc get ihfs from flic Southern Culti vator. It is worth consider im: care fully and attentivelyi“Wlien I lived ou my farm, I attended to ray own busi ness in person—overseeing my over- and everything else, and prospered at it in every thing aud in every year 1 bad plenty for man and beast, and sold more of other things than I did of cot ton. 1 sold corn and fodder and wheat aud oats and barley and pota toes, together with beef, corn, lard, mutton, wool, etc. I may add wc had ;ec*c, ducks, peafowls, turkeys, with from one hundred aud fifty to three hundred chickens, kept at night in a miuk-pt oof and negro-proof heu houac. also had many hives of bees. Mr. Editor, did you cycr tire ou milk and honey, or butter aud eggs? If I ever did, 1 do not now, for in an evil hour left my (arm and removed to town, and the fanu aud all lliiug* on it felt the change. Do you know a thrifty farmer who lives iu town? I don’t— From about 100 head, my cattle icll to less than 40. Hogs from 300 to 100. Sheep from 83 to 7, chiefly by dogs, (yet wc canuot get a dog law.) Geese from 45 to 3 or 4 desolate old ganders, t*mgb for Cuflees teeth. Bee from 13 to 20, to 3 or 4, and they saved in a piuc pole pen, under lock and key. The negroes said the wife ate and sold all of the chickens, and she said the darkeys dc- oured them; and so on of everything The prosperity that the Cultivator helped me so much to achieve, all gone. Now regretful memories crowd upon me in my moody moments. But ill never again be troubled in see ing the sills of my bam bending under ;bt of *00 or 1,000 bushels of wheat. I aui iu town, however, Ire- •udously respectable. (If it were a ;otiable commodity, I would ex change some respectability for bread and butter.) I wear store clothes in stead of walnut brown home-made jeans, a? formcily, aud I cal town vict uals, such as it is. But let me whis per a word in your car, and don’t let it go out: to kill a chicken is ns great an event uow as it was to slaughter an ox when I lived at the plantation. ceased to wouder at Jacob children louging for the leeks and on- ious of Egypt. If I could shake off few years from my shouldcis I would lly to my farm and prosper again, as I did while on it, for iwo and two will always make four while the world s’.ands. Any farmer who is willing to live hard for a year or two, then buy for cash, pay no iutercst or credit i, will thrive, if he works and mauage* well. Although now mal apropos, I sign one. of my former names. Colon t The following has been banded us for publication: Can any one tell wby, when Eve was manufactured from one of Ad am’s ribs, a maid was not provided to wait upon her? This iuteroga- tion can tie easily answered. Be cause Adam never went niuriuurin; to Eve with a ragged sock to be darned, a shirt button to be sewed on, or a pair of old trowsers to bo renovated “right away, forthwith, immediately if not sooner, quick, now.” Because lie never bun; around the post office and read newspapers until the sun went down the western horizon, and then hurried home and whined out “aint supper ready yet?” I will haz ’d the tissertion that lie cut the wood, brought the water, made the fires, milked the cows, fed the chickens and did numerous other little things. He never stayed out until a late hour every night reveling with his friends and then reprimand poor terrified Eve for sitting up cry- He never frequented the bil liard saloon, nor stifled Eve with ■igar exhalation. I am sure he nev er caroused around groceries abright until he became intoxicated, then go staggering aud reeling Lome iu such a turbulent manner to arouse little Cain after Eve bad put ‘‘him iu his little bed.” I do not suppose he thought she was made for the sole aud express pur pose of waiting ou him, but was under the impression that it was the imperative duty of a husband to alleviate the wife’s domestic troub les a little. I presume that is why Eve did not need a servant girl, and I sec no reason wby any of her fair defendants should, with husbands endowed with the attributes Adam possessed. flow They Charge in Nevada. This is the way a number of the Nevada legislature talk*; about the hotels of Carson: They just made a careful inventory of a man’s salary aud guaged their bills accordingly. Whenever a cocktail was sent up to a room they charged the whole floor with a gallon of whiskey to each mau. Why, they had one lady, who was a strict temperance woman charged with twelve gallons of old bourbon. Every timo I looked at plate of cold-slaw they charged me with a barrel of sauerkraut’ An Irishman was once asked why lie wore liis stockings inside out “Because-there is a hole on the oth er side,” he replied. Sami. J. Tildcn. It ball over now, and the Gover nor’s name trill he heard uo more for ever. lie will never be other than a private citizen, and there is no possi ble object iu praising or blaming him. Wc cau sum up his case fairly and with as little pasaion as the- case of Julius Ctcsar. I am uot his friend, and io the campaign was inactive; but now that nil is forever settled, I may say that he would have made the best Chief Magistrate America ever had, or is likely ever to have He was doubt, jess better lilted for the place than any man whose name was ever motion ed for that high position .Could lie have been allowed to HU the place to which he was elected, his name would have dowu to future generations as the (/real President What William of Orange was to Euglaud, he would have been to America, io establish ment of good government, ludeed, tbc two were much alike; both small, feeble men, both ccld and rcpellant, and uupopuhlron that account; both exact and pains-taking; both pose.-sed of executive abilities of tho very high est order. Samuel Jones Tildcn is not simply an able man, but n marvelous man. Not simply a king among men, but a king atncug kings. lie has been lied about as lew men have; lie has been swindled as nom an ever was —swindled out ot tho Presidency. But his loss is small in comparison to what the nation has lost iu losing his ad ministration. Tlic Death ora llcrmit. On Friday last Austin Sheldon, the Pike county (Pa) hermit, was foutid dead on the top of one of tbe mountains, iu a ten feet snow -drift. He bad lived over forty years iu a cave in the rocks, near the entrance of which bis body was found. Shel don was nearly seventy-two years old. He was discovered in bis cave thirty years ago by hunters. He said he had been living there ten years, aud had not seen any human beiugs in that time. About a year ago a brother aud sister of the her mit, from Connecticut, both wealthy, rent to his abode and endeavored in every way to get him to return to bis friends. It was of uo avail. Shel don had lost liis wife after a brief married life, and disappeared on the day of the buriul. He was not heard of until last year. Sheldon lived ou game, fish, roots and ber- At the time of his death bis form was much bent. The elothinj that hung iu rags and tatters from his person had been donned twenty- two years ago and never taken off. It was held together by hickory withes. He never washed. A thick rav beard that bung almost to bis waist, aud hair of tbc same color, hanging over his shoulders, matted with burrs and twiggs, aud had not been touched with a comb or brush for forty-five years. Slid don was an educated man. His fam ily is among tbc lending ones o Connecticut. • «• Life in Texas. A new coiner iu a 7cxas town al ways enjoys himself. Jftcr spend ing a short time lookiug around the place, he grows weary and finally asks the clerk of the hotel if there ft .any chance of having fun that day. And the clerk, scratching his head a moment, says: "Well I duuiio: 1 reckon wo can get up something for before night. Haven’t been shot at yet, have yon ? No ? Oh, well, vou will be s*jou. Just loaf around the streets a little whili?, and even if you ain’t shot at yourself, you can dodge the bullets intended for some other person. May be you might object to its coming iu that way— 6ort o’ second hand, you know; and, if you do, why wait a little while, and 111 go out with yon, and I guess wc cau get np something real lively.” Two minutes afterward that mau is studying the time table for the leaving time of the next train, aud not even the clerk’s prom ise to iet him carry the revolver that he shot a mau with last week can keep the guest iu town over night Scene at a hotel—“Good morning, strauger, it looks like rain.” Strau- cr—"I think not.” A shot is heard, and tho fati-auger is seen rolling out of the back door. —— - — Carl Mow ami Thru. Carl Sclrarz iu 1*74 said: “The thieves control the ncgr«x*s, and it was under their influence that they have been arrayed agaiust the whites. The negroes are uud< r the influence of the most villainous scoundrels that were ever allowed to j disgrace a great and coble country. The Republican party is responsible for the present condition of the South. I will not be a Republican to deliver the Southern people over to the Worbt fact of facouudreifa that ever obtained political power.” Carl has changed his mind. It is stated that spirits of turjxu- tiue sprinkled through the house once a week is a sure preventive against scarlet fever and other dis- Tlae Woald Without Sunday. Think liow the attraction of Sun day would enslave the working classes, with v.uom wc are identified. Think of labor thus going on iu one monotonous and eternal rack, fiu- ;ers for ever straining, tbe brow forever drooping nml the loius forever aching, tbe restless mind forever scheming. Think of the beauty it would effect, the merry heartcducss it would extiuguish, the iuut strength it would tame, the resources of nature it would crush, the sickness it would bring, of the projects it would wreck, the groaus it would extort, the lives it would immolate, and tho cheerless graves it would prematurely dig. See them toiling and fretting aud grinding and hewing, aud weaving aud spin ning, sowing mul gathering, mow ing and reaping, raising and build- digging and planting, striving, aud struggling iu tbc garden and in the field, in the granary and in the factory and in the mill, in the ware house aud in the mountains and in the ditch,ou the roadside iu tbc coun try, out at sea and on shore, iu tbe day of the brightness and of gloom! What a picture this world would present if wc had uo Sabbath ! Delights of Texan. Mr. F. J. Frazer, of this place, received a letter from a noted cot ton planter of Lavacca county, Tex- stating that the grasshoppers had destroyed everything that was green both iu the woods aud on the prairies. Tlic county looks as if it bad been burned by fire; cattle were dying for want of something to cat, aud, although spring had set in ear ly there, everything looked more black than in winter. Ho conclud ed by saving: "If you lmvc any frieuds who contemplate coming to Texas,advise them uot to come.” An other gentleman who lmd received a peck of rye, oats, wheat and bar ley each, sowed the seed with care. 7'lie grain was up some twelve inch es high. At 9 o’clock iu tho mom- tile "hoppers” began to work iqion it. By 10 o’clock tho same day not a spore was left. Similar reports havo reached us from other portions of the State. A letter re ceived from Washington county, stated that the “hoppers” were nu merous enough—although at that time they were little larger than the common horse-fly— to destroy the grain and other crops ns th )y came out of tho ground.--/Wo/t Sj>imj, A to, Il-rahf. Tlic Alpine Horn. The Alpiue horn is an instrument made of bark of a cherry tree, nml like a speaking trumpet, is used to convey sound to a great distance.— When the last rays of the sun gild tlic summit of the Alps, the sliep herd who inhabits the highest jicak of these mountains, takes his horn, sunt cries,with a loud voice, "Braise be the Lord.” Ah soon as tlic neighboring shepherds bear liim they leave their huts and repeat these words. The sounds arc pro longed many minutes, while tbe echoes of the rocks repeat tlic name of God. Imagination cuunot pic ture anything more solemn or sub lime than such a scene. Durin; the silcucc that succeeds, the Hheji herds bend their knee and pray i: tlic open air, then repair to their huts to rest. The sunlight gilding the top of thc>>c stupendous moun tains, upon which the vault of heav en seems to rest, the magnificent scenery around, and the voices shepherds sounding from rock to rock the praises of the Almighty, fill the mind of every traveller with cntlnwasm aud awe. The river Danube has figured largely in history of 2,000 year*, and it again lx-comes the object to which the eyes of the world are turned. It furnished q highway for tbe Turks in the sixteenth and sev enteenth centuries to penetrate Eu ropean far as Vicuna, and in the days of the crusaders it became an outlet for the religious enthusiasm of Eu rope to flow to the Holy Land. The Danulx-, from its sources in Baden to the Black Sea, is 1,820 miles long, and it drains, with its tributaries, an area of over :klO,OUO square mile*-. It }U!»sc-i through Bavaria. Austria, Hungary and Servia to the Carpathian mountains, where it s.qiarates Itonmaniu and Bulgaria an Jpa -ses into the Black Sea through several mouths, tbc princqtcl one be ing that of SuKiite The Danube is nav igabie as far as Ulm, iu Bavaria. At Nieopolis, iu the fourteenth cen tury, 1UU.OOU Christians were drivvu by the Turks into the Danube, and in the fifteenth century 4O.inAj Turks were klain on its short* the edge of the Belgrade.

Prudent meu treat their friends of to-day on the theory that they may be enemies to-morrow. “W’hat’s usee play poker,” remarked a Chinatnau the other day. "Me hold four kliogs and a lace; Mclicnn man all same time four laces and n kling; whole week w a shoe gone like wood bine.” A widow iu Counclicul brought re cently a suit against a young man for the value of fuel, lights and food con sumed whilst he was courtiug her daughter. Au Irishman, writing irom lliu West toaliicnd. remarked: "Pork is so plenty here that every third mau you meet is a hog,” a rciuaik which, uu- forfuuatcly may be applied to society. Two women were having some words together, when the daughter of one of them fK>p}H d her lu-ad out of the door and cried out: "Hurry, mother, mul call her a thief before she calls vou one.” A correspondent out iu the sub urbs wants to kuovv "the best way to make a hot bed.” If you arc a married man, craw l into bod rather late, with your boots on. Young man! pay attention. l>ou‘i be a loafer, don’t keep loafer’s compa ny ; don’t hang about loafing places Better work than sit around day after day, or stand about corners with jour hands in your pockets-better for your own health and prospects. Bustle about, if you have anything to bustle for. — ••• m A uoi'E ladder iu every room is suggested, and the Ohio Legislature is about to pass a law to compel ev ery hotel to have rope ladders iu ev ery room. Every hotel should ho furnish its rooms without waiting for a law. Such a ladder in an emergency is absolute safety. It could be made fast under the win dow, and in time of danger unroll ed and cast down. There are very few who cannot in (lie excitement and danger of tire command nerve enough to descend a ropo ladder. Even a knotted rope would be huIH- cieut for most persons at such a time. It is one of tbe stern lessons of ex|x*rience,” says the Courier Jour nal—“a lesson which few care to learn twice in single lifetime that no journalist in our day knows what true agony really is until sud denly informed that there is coun terfeit thousand dollar bills iu cir culation, nor can tell bow instant relief from sudi agony feel* until he lias turned bis vest pocket inside out and found that lie hasn’t got any of them.
