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!" Having, in onr official capacity as mem bers of the Plymouth Hospital Committee, beon asked to test and prove the effective ness of many different articles to be used as disinfectants in sick rooms and as prevent ives of inlectious fevers, report that Darbys Prophylactic Fluid lias been thoroughly tested during the recent typhoid epidemic in this place. It nrovod most efficacious in staving the spread of the few. P. H. Armstrong, H. M Davkvport, J. A. Opf, O. M. Lanck, TuojasKebh. Jam its Lx?. Jr. CHEAP ADVERTISING. ONE CENTA WORD.
