JEFFERSON DAViS.
The Sago of Beauvoir Has a Free Talk
With a Reporter. ,
From the AYuj Orleans Picayune.
Your correspondent visited Beauvoir to
tla v to call upon Al r..) offersou Davis. IT pon
arriving at the beautiful shore home of the
ex-IY esidout of the Confederacy that gen
tL.nait greeted the writer with
the graceful courtesy
which is inseparable from his mauner un
der all circumstances. He has been recently
suffering fromait indisposition, from which
he has not entirely recovered, but which does
not coniine him to the bouse, although in
terfering witli any extended excursions.
Mr. Davis spoke with his usual
way in replying to the interrogatdnes
which the correspondent propounded. The
conversation was substantially us follows:
“Y'ou have seen, 1 presume, the article of
Col. J. Thomas Hcliarf, published in the
Baltimore Herald/ " Mr. Davis was asked.
‘•Not in its entirety,” replied Mr. Davis.
“It is said to have covered about six col
umns in the Herald and I have road only
portions of it.”
“Are the statements contained in the pas
sages you have read correct:”
I was surprised to see Col. Seharfs arti
cle and have written to him on tho subject.
Until I receive iiis reply i shall make no
jomments on the subject.”
“Have you rood the alleged interview
with
, GEN. ROGER A. PP.YOU
in New York in which he assorts that ho
never heard of the asaasination plot and raises
a question as to whether you really made the
statements reported by Col. Scharf'f”
“Yes,” responded Mr. Davis. “I have
seen that interview. The only attempt at
assassination was the incident which oc
curred at Richmond and concerning which
Col. William Preston Johnston is fully in
formed, as he was riding with me at the
time. Ho knows the facts. t see lie says
my horse was nervous and would not go oh.
biit I am confident that mine was the bast
in fact, that horse was one of the finest
steeds I ever rode.”
Mr. Davis having indicated a disinclina
tion to comment on the Scharf interview
in the absence of the reply to the letter he
lias written to that gentleman, the corres
pondent also inquired as to the facts of
lilt DUNCAN F. KENNER’S MISSION TO
EUROPE
in 1864, as an agent of tbo Confederate gov
ernment. Mr. Davis said that he had not
read the statement recently published in
some newspapers, that Mr. Kenner went to
Europe clothed with plenary power to su
persede other Confederate agents, and to
pledge the Confederacy to the manumission
of the slaves in the event of recognition by
England or France. The Picayune at tiio
time of Mr. Kenner’s death said that his
mission was of a financial character, being
aware of Mr. Kenner’s own statement to
friends that he was not authorized to pro
pose the liberation of the slave population,
although this was a desperate resort
WHICH HE HIMSELF ADVOCATED
at Richmond. Some Northern journals hav
ing published what purported to have been
a statement made some years ago by Mr.
Kenner too contrary effect, the facts were
sought from Mr. Davis. Ho said substan
tially:
“1 remember that Mr. Kenner was sent to
Europe during the latter part of tho war,
but my recollection is not clear as to the cir
cumstances under which he went. I am
sure he had no authority to make pledges of
the character mentioned. Who could have
given him such authority? Certainly not
tlijs President or his Cabinet, it, was a mat
ter for the decision of the States, and I am
sure Mr. Kenner was riot delegated to dis
place the representatives of the Confeder
acy abroad —Mr. Mason at Loudon and Mr.
Blklell at Paris.”
From this theme tho conversation turned
to the present status of
EUROPEAN AFFAIRS,
with which Mr. Davis spoke with tho ease of
one who follows closely the coursoof events.
The extent of Air. Davis’ information, his
intimate acquaintances with most diverse
matters, must constantly astonish all with
whom lie converses.
From European politics lie readily turned
to the subject of grape culture—a subject
suggested by reference to tho scuppernong
plantation immediately in rearof the Beau
voir mansion. Ho described the different
varieties of grape in this and foreign coun
tries and pointed out their special excel
lences. .
“You have a quiet home,” remarked the
writer, looking out from the hall of the old
mansion across the peaceful, shady grounds
to the waters of tho gulf beyond.
"Yes,” replied Mr. Davis, with a smile;
“a pleasant home for children and an old
mam.”
“And yet
TIIK NEWSPAPERS
follow you bore?”
“They will not lot me rest in peace, it
seems,” was the reply.
Later on a casual reference to the condi
tion of affaire in England and a compari
son of its government with that of the
1 nited States, led Mr. Davis to remark that,
it was important that a school history of the
United States should be written for tho use
of Southern youth which would correctly
inform the children of the South on the polit
ical historyof this country and the principles
at the foundation of the government. He
was of opinion that there could lie no mis
apprehension ns to those principles which
"ere matters of fact accessible to the histo
rian.
Several other topics were touched upon
p,ud served chiefly to make manifest Mr.
Davis’ remarkable memory of men and
things, it seems that
HE NEVER FORGETS
names and faces, and recalls the most triv
ial incidents in the lives of persons whom he
lias has known.
It is probable that Mr. Davis will pay his
Usual visit to tho camp grounds if his health
improves.
INDIAN RIDERS.
Areal h eats in Horsemanship -Scenes
iu an Indian Damp.
Gen. James .S’. Rrixbin in Omaha Republican.
When we last, parted company with the
readers of the Republican w wore in tho
Indian camp of tho Arapahoe Chief Friday.
Here wo saw many curious scenes and
learned much of Indian life. Ono day
Friday said to mo he would like to show off
Ins young men and let me see how well they
roiild ride. At first I expected some treach
rry. as tho whole herd of ponies were still
In the hands of Mm troops, Tho old chief,
however, was so earnest and apparently
honest about it, 1 told tho Captain, who had
Iho herd m charge, he might lot Friday
line 50 ponies for his young men. In about
* hour they drew up before the tents in
War paint and feathers, mul were as line a
looking sot of young fellows os I had ever
h en. Hardly but one was six foot in height
Did I ■vuutlfuliy proportioned. They sat
I heir horses lißc centaurs and were ease and
truce itself in the saddle. At a signal from
Hie chief they began their movements with
f yell that sent the blond curdling to the
"art and was enough,if heard unawares, or
hi the night time, to make one's hair stand
end. in a moment they lmd disappeared
’ or a neighboring hill to the right, ami I
‘nought they had gone, but, hearing a
uiglity trampling of horses, I looked to the
j' lt and there they came, i can compare it
1“ nothing but the wind, anil they swept by
swift, and compact that they looked like
■ hall of horses and meu. .splitting in two,
to" body swept to the right und another to
he left and again disappeared. In ulxiut
‘wo minutes tho two bodies charged each
Flier in solid linen, and I waited almost
e'eathlesslv for tho shock, hut us the
"Uses’ heads almost touched cadi other the
lies skillfully opened t the right and left
l “d the lines past through tho intervals
without touching. Wheeling to tho right
‘ '“lit they passed bock in an instant and
i-ain disappeared over tho hills. It was
‘'"nit 15 minutes lief, rc they came in night,
* ‘ ‘ Friday informed me they were blowing
u holies. i iVetmU,' on they cornu uud
wheeled by fours, formed columns, broke
by fours, and finally deployed os skirmishers.
It was now wo saw the finest individual
horsemanship. Some would approach lying
so close to the pony’s back nothing but the
horses could lie seen. Others stood up and
■'ode as circus men do. Some would hang
" lth one foot and one hand on the horses
and sweep by, their bodies completely pro
tected by tho bodies of the animals. Some
leaped upon the ground holding to the mane
of the borso, and after running asteportwo
would swing themselves up on the backs of
the horses again as easily ns any circus man
could do it. Tlio positions they assumed
ana the feats of horsemanship which they
performed wore incredible, and I doubt if
anything outside of a circus ring ever
equaled it. They would throw objects on
the ground and pick them up again while
passing at full speed, tlio warriors hanging
to tlie sides of the horses with one foot and
one hand. They drew bows and shot arrows
from underneath the necks und even bellies
of their horses while riding at a fast gallop.
Our cavalry could not learn to ride as well
as these Indians did if eacli man was trained
for 20 years. They exchanged horses while
riding, and got Behind each other. One
man would fall off his horse as if wounded,
and two others would ride up beside him,
and, taking him by an arm and leg, swing
him between their horses and carry him
off. Tlio exhibition, or drill, ns Friday
called it, lasted nearly two hours, and the
men ;uid horses were eompletly exhausted.
I had never seen such magnificent feats of
horsemanship in my life, and 1 freely said
so. At tliis Friday was much pleased and
calling up the young men repeated to them
in a loud voice w hat I had said and added a
few words of his own, complimenting them.
The young men were very proud of tho
manner in which they had acquitted them
selves, and I could imagine the feelings of
their parents and sweethearts. The per
formers were much worn out, some of them
being hardly able to stand after their
violent exercise, and all evening I saw them
lying in the lodges, where the Indian wom
en brought them food and water, bathed
their hands, arms, and limbs, and combed
their hair.
BETTER LUCK THAN KALAKAUA.
A Protege of tho Hawaiian King Mar
ries Into a Noble Italian Family.
A dispatch from Newport, R. 1., to the
New York World says: Some forty-six
years ago the ship Menker sailed from New
port for the Pacific whaling grounds. Sev
eral of her crew were natives of the place
and also the captain and first officer. Tho
latter was William S. Wilcox, who is said to
have far outstripped his superior officer in
knowledge of seamanship. This caused
jealousy, and the result was violent quarrels
during the voyage. Wilcox was proud
spirited, and, rathor than submit to discom
fort for three or four years, he rbsolved to
leave his vessel at the first opportunity.
Early in 1843 tbe ship reached the port
nowjknown as Honolulu,and here Wilcox left
her. It is not known what his intentions
were on landing, probably to take the next
passing vessel, but it is certain that he never
left the island for over thirty years. He
married a half-breed, and in time had about
him a family of sons and daughters, five in
all. One of the sons was named Robert W.
Wi% ix, and this young man appears to
have been especially favored by the reign
ing families, particularly Kaiakaua. The
King wanted to have young AVilcox trained
as a soldier, and he determined to send him
to Some European military institution.
Italy was selected as the country, and
thither the young man was sent under royal
auspices. It was probably this fact that
enabled the young soldier to obtJlin entreo
into the homes of the first families. He
made tlio acquaintance of tho princely
house of Colonna, into which Miss Mackay
married, and it was not long ere it became
known in Hawaii that young AVilcox had
won the hand of a fair young member of it.
The sequel of this love-making is found in
the following extract of a Roman paper
just at hand. Tho father of the young
officer resides on this island still, not having
been back to Hawaii for about twelve years.
The extract is as follows:
“Turin, Juno 15. —This morning June 15,
took place the very auspicious nuptials of
the Noble Signorina Luisa Sobrero, daugh
ter of the late Baron Lorenzo Sobrero,
Colonel of Artillery, in retirement, and
Donna Victoria of the princely family
Colonna, to Mr. Robert W. Wilcox, of the
Sandwich Islands, first pupil of our Military
Academy and now of the School of Ap
plication for Artillery and Engineering.
The bridegroom is related to the reigning
family of the Sandwich Islands, and King
Kaiakaua, in sign of his pleasure, sent his
adjutant, Col. J. H. Boyd, to represent him
at the nuptial ceremony, bringing splendid
gifts to tho bridegroom from the King. Col.
Samuel Nowlein and daughter, relatives of
the bridegroom, also assisted at the cere
monies. Tho daughter remains in Italy to
study painting. The ceremony was triple,
first by tho Archbishop, who saluted the
company with the greatest bounty; then at
the Municipality whore the civil marriage
occurred, and lastly at the Protestant chapel.
AVe might express our congratulations anil
sympathy for this couple with manners so
affable and aspect so intelligent. The
Hawaiian* were delighted that their co-na
tionalist, AVilcox, hail known how to
glean one of the f airest flowers of Italy to
transplaint it in their land of eternal spring.
AVe scatter flowers in the path of the happy
couple.”
Gibson’s Romantic Career.
Georgia Exchange.
Walter M. Gibson, a few weeks ago Prime
Minister of tho Hawaiian Islands, has had a
career that reads almost like a page of ro
mance. While he is now temporarily down,
having been arrested and jailed by tiie in
dignant jieople of Honolulu because they
believe that ho has robbed and oppressed
them, those who know Walter Gibson aro
certain and sure that he will yet rise equal
to the occasion, and before many months
will regain much of that power he seems to
have lost.
Col. John R. Towers, principal keeper of
the penitentiary, know Gibson well, years
ago, when lie was a common day laborer in
Anderson, S. C. Col. Towers said, a few
days ago, that at tiie time Gibson was a
common laborer lie was always regarded as
a smart, shrewd fellow. Ho remained at
Andei’son several years, marrying a good
lady in that neighlx>rhood, who was a; niece
of Mr. J. R. Smith. Some six or seven
years ago, Gibson revisited the scene of his
early days, and remained a week or two in
tiie State. His first wife hod been long
since dead and he had marriod again, the
second time a daughter of King Kaiakaua,
the ruler of tiie island.
His visit to tiie neighborhood of Ander
son created quite a sensation at tho time. A
great change had come over tho man whom
nearly ull remembered as tho common day
laborer Gibson. He was like the ricli man
in the Bible, arrayed iu purple and line
ii:rm; a gentleman in maimers, of wide and
extensive fund of information, ho was a
charming companion, whose society was
as interesting and instructive as it was
pleasant and enjoyable. He talked hut
little of his checkered career, but there
was no doubt that Gibson was a man of
immense influence in the Sandwich
Islands.
Col. Towers remarked that not long ago
he saw a man who hod peiuonal knowledge
of Gibson’s position at Honolulu. Ho stated
that Gibson was the ruling power on the
island, thut lie was not only tiie mouthpiece
and servant of the throne, but in reality
dictated the policy of tho kingdom. Judg
lug from tiie recent account publishod about
the internal conditions of tho island, it seems
that Gibson and his associates, tho leading
men in the revnl party, have been guilty of
tiie grossest acts of oppression. It appeal*
that their object was to get hold of ns
much m-mev as possible, with no regard to
tlio condition of the people. Tim result was
that the people rose up in their might, took
po-suHsiou of tho government, jailed Gibson
and his accomplices, and the indications are
that, some time or other the government
of the island will be in the control of the
people, 1
THE MORNING NEVA'S: THURSDAY, JULY 21, 1887.
A DISSATISFIED GENERAL.
Criticism on a Chicago Panorama oy a
Famous Veteran.
From the Chicago Times.
A squint-eyed old fellow approached the
manager of the oycloratna of the Battle of
Shiloh, in Chicago, and said:
“They tell mo that you’ve got Gen. Jim
Fagan’s pictur in thar —Fagan, of Arkatt
saw.”
“AVe have,” too manager replied.
“AA'all, I’d like to see it a minit. Don’t
kere anything alsmt seem’ any of the rest
of tiie pietur’s, but jest nachully hanker
after seeing Jim’s.”
“You know the General, do you?”
“1 ougliter. Don’t you?”
“No, I have never seen him. Step this
way.”
Tlio manager conducted the visitor to a
position from which he could get a good
view of tho gallant. Arkausaw soldier.
“Which is Jim?”
“Tiie one on tho horse waving his sword,”
the manager replied, somewhat disappointed
at tlio visitor’s failure to recognize tiie like
ness.
“That feller chargin’ down there?”
“Yes.”
Tiie visitor slowly shook his head and in
a sad voice remarked: “I am badly disap
pointed. ”
“1 mu told that it’s an excellent picture,”
said tho manager.
“Oh, yes, the pictur’s all right—mighty
fine pictur; hut it don’t look like him.”
“You must he mistaken, sir.”
“Wall, 1 just ain’t. You dou’t know me,
do you ?”
“I do not.”
“Wall, sir, I’m Gen’ral Fagan?”
“Is it possible?” the manager exclaimed.
“It, looks mightly that way.” the visitor
replied. “I’m the man that pictur’s in
tended to represent, hut I’ll leave it to any
man in this town if it, looks like me. I have
hearn a good deal about this picture,’ and
while here I thought I would satisfy myself
in regard to it. It’s ab i ’le.sque on me, any
body can tell that and under a recent
decision of the Supreme Court of
this State I can have it tuk outen
there, and out she must come. I ain’t
jokin’, Cap’ll,” he added, as the manager
attempted, though vvith somewhat of a
sickly result, to smile at what he hoped was
a jest. “No, sir, I an? m as dead, cold
earnest as ever a man was. For several
veal’s, now, I’ve been held up to ridicule by
that fly-up-the-crcek, and I’m getting tired
of it, especially as I have decided to come
out as a candidate for Governor of my State,
and as there are a good many Democrats in
Arkansaw that were in tiie Federal army,
thurfo’ it ain’t meet, as the Seriptur’s say,
for me to run as a war-horse. Take out
that pictur, Cap’n.”
“Mv dear General,” replied the now thor
oughly aroused manager, “I am very sorry
that you object to your picture being here,
but, really, I don’t see how 1 can take it out.
The war is an issue of the passionate past,
and I don’t think that any sensible man w ill
vote against you simply by being reminded
of the conspicuous part you bore in tho
great struggle.”
“That’s very true, Cap’n. Sensible men
mout not vote agin me, but I have never
seed the State yit where sensible men air in
the majority. Send fur a feller with a
bucket of paint, please, for I want to see
that cartoon wiped out. To tell you the
truth,” continued the General, after a few'
moments reflection, “as you seem to boa
party good sort of feller, I would let it stay,
but then all the expense of this here trip
would lie gone fur nothin’.”
“What iias the trip cost you?” the man
ager eagerly asked.
“Let me see. Well, about 25.”
“I’ll give you $25 if you wall withdraw
your objections.”
“I hate todo it airter havin’ come so fur.”
“I know that, but you can console your
self with the thought that after arri vim,-
here you took a more sensible view of i/e
matter. ”
“Yes, I can do that. AA r ell, give mo the
money, and dinged if I don’t go home —that
is, ef you’ll promise to say nothing about
this here affair.”
The manager gave the General $25 and
earnestly pledged himself to say nothing.
The next, ciav an acquaintance, while talk
ing with the manager, remarked:
“That was a comical looking old fellow
3’on had up here yesterday.”
“Do you know him:”
“Not very well. I stayed a’! night at his
house some time ago. His name is Babraek,
and he runs a sort of one-horse distillery
and preaches occasionally down in Mis
souri.”
Mrs. Bixby’a Economy.
Mrs. Bixby became convinced tiie other
day that retrenchment was absolutely acces
sary in her household expenses, writes tho
Detroit Free Press man.
“Business in dull,” she said, “and I must
make our bills as light as possible. Poor
husband is quite worried over our affairs.
Now, how can I save $5 or $lO and show Mr.
Bixby that women cau be economical if
necessary ? I know,” she said suddenly, in
the joyful tone of one who lias had a happy
thought. “I will do without tlio hat I in
tended getting to wear with my new gray
suit. I can .wear my black imported straw
with it very well, and 1 will too. I just
must learn to economize.” Then she put, on
her hat and went down town, so elated
over her “clear saving of fivo whole
dollars” that she intended walking home
with Mr. Bixby at noon and telling him all
about it.
“I wonder now,” she said, as siie stepped
before tho windows of a glove store; “I
wonder if I couldn’t afford anew pair of
those tan kid gloves with stitching on the
back. I really need them, and I’ve saved
$5 by going without my hat, so—yes, I’ll
get them; they’ll cost only $2.”
Ten minutes later she stood before the rib
bon eounter in a dry goods store.
“This ribbon is really very cheap,” she
was saying to herself, “and I need a lot of
ribbon awfully. I wonder if I could afford
it to-day. Let me sec, I—oh, of course I
<ui, after saving $5 on that hat.”
Ami she bought ton yards of ribbon at 25c.
a yard.
“Great Sale of Embroidery,” she read on
a flaring placard a moment later.
“Just what I need,” she said, “but I’ve
been doing without because I wanted to
economize, but I’m sure diaries eottldu’tsny
anything if I bought a little when I’ve saved
five whole dollars.”
So she bought “a little” for $1 75. Then
she got “the greatest kind of a bargain” iu
remnants of French gingham for .$1 50.
“I never would have bought it,” she said
to herself, “but it was so cheap, and then
I’d saved $5 this morning.’.’
Before reaching her husband’s office with
the cheering news of her economy she Imd
1 (ought four yards of lace, three of inser
tion, a pound of candy, two collars and a
pair of cuffs, a pair of slippers, two pairs of
nose, hankerehiefs, three yards of lawn, a
fan.a bunch of roses, another pair of gloves,
six linen handkerchiefs and two neckties
for Mr. Bixby. Then she repaired to Bix
by’s office with the tale of her economy,
and ended by saying:
"And here's a few little things I thought
I could afford after saving so much by
going without my hat.”
Bixby asked a few questions, made a
rapid calculation, and said in an utterly
heartless tone:
“See here. Rally, don’t you economize
any more. You'll break mo sure if you do.
You've got sl6 98 worth of things already
out of that $5, and —”
“You’re just too mean for anything,
Charley Bixby!"

A Fail Near the City.
C. H. DORSETT, Auctioneer,
Will soil at the Court House, during ti
usual hours of sale, on
Tuesday, August 2d, 1887,
that particular piece of Harming Land on
the Ogeocheo road, about two miles from
Anderson street, near the Charleston and
Savannah crossing, containing about fifteen
acres of land. Said property adjoins the
lands of Oliver Iloidt, Stewart and others,
and has upon it a largo TWO-STORY
FRAME DWELLING.
This is admirably adapted to the require*
incuts of a dairy, chicken or truck farm.
SOME GOOD CORNERS.
At private sale I am offering some vet*}
good comer place*, suitable for business or
for residences.
< >ne on West Broad and Hull, near the
offices of tiie Georgia Central Railroad.
This is an excellent location for a hoarding
house, and unsurpassed for retail business.
The house is roomy ami the lot large,
60x110, with much ot the space unoccupied,
A splendid stand for business in the im
mediate vicinity of the K, F. & W. Ry, just
on tiie thoroughfare leading into the ware
house mid offices. This consists of a large
dwelling, witii store attached, well built and
convenient. Its proximity to the Depot
gives special value to this property for em
ployes, or for persons desiring the patronage
of etnployos.
Another corner on York and Montgom
ery streets, consisting of store and dwelling,
is in a location where property is seldom
,offered, and never offered long. Purchasers
’can always be found for property in this
vicinity, on account of its nearness to tho
Market, Bay street anil the retail street .
Considered as an investment, it will always
he in demand by tenants.
A West, Broad and Jones street comer is
tho last on the list. This is among the lies),
of West Broad corners. Particulars can be
had at my oflico.
A Few Residences
A double bouse in the eastern portion of
the city, near the Bay. This is an exceed
ingly pleasant location, facing a square. It
will be an admirable homo for porsous doing
business in that section.
A two-story dwelling on Bryan strew*,
near Karin, i u tills locality homes always
rent well. This is particularly recom
mended to porsons desiring a small, snug
investment, and those drawn in Loua Asso
ciations.
A neat and comfortable cottage In the
southwestern portion of the city. This is
lust the place in which to commence house*
keeping life.
ON SALT WATER.

erty of this description in this vicinity.
Good water ami air, cool breezes, fertile
land, plenty of shade, abundance of fruit,
tlsh iu ulmndanoo, all within an hour’s ride
of the city.
