Then he binds up the wound, tells his patient to keep in the dark for a fort night, and pockets his rupee.

The great variety of colors and dyes ob tained from common plants, growing so Abundantly almost everywhere, is appar ently known to but few persons except chemists. The well-known huckleberry or blueberry, when boiled down, with an ad dition ot a little alum and a solution of cop- perns, will develop an excellent blue color; the same treatment, with a solution of nut galls, produces a clean dark brown tint, while with alum, verdigris and sal ammo niac various shades of purple and red can be obtained. The fruit of the elder, so frequently used for coloring spirits, will idho produce a bine color when treated with alum. The privet, boiled in a solution of salt, furnishes a serviceable color, and tlu over-ripe berries yield a scarlet red. Tlu- seeds of the common burning bush “euon- ymotu,” when treated w ith sal ammoniac, produce a beautiful purple red. The bark of the currant bush, treated with a solution of alum, produces a brown.

In the first place, Isgriggwas not provost mars hid at Macon at the time Davis was captured, m*r nt any other time or place during the war. No superior officer, who ku fsgrigg. would have placed him in any such position of responsibility, as he was not only unreliable and untrustworthy, but on one occasion was reduced to the rands and disgraced before his regiment for gross cowardice. The statement that Davis was brought ito Mueon by Isgrigg in a farm wagon ja a falsehood made out of whole cloth, purely and simply. I have never seen it equaled for unblushing falsity. As is well-known to the country, Jefferson Davis was captured by the Fourth Michigan Cavalry—or rather detachment ot t'*:*.* regiment under the unman.1 of Lieut. Prichard, and Isgrigg had no more to do with hi* capture than ! man in the moon," aud Isgrigg knows Mv recollection is, that when Davis was brought into Macon and was taken to head- juurters, at the international Hotel, Isgrigg was not even present, but was in camp, out side the city limits. The most unblushing falsehood of all the statement that “when we stopped at the international Hotel and were about to get out of the wagou. Capt tin Thompson mu aning slit* writer of th;» article), of the Fourth Indiana Cavalry, drew his revolver to fire at Davis." A more uujustifiabk falsehood was never uttered iu the same numb r of words. It is true I was present as Mr. Davis ascended tlu- steps, standing perhaps within five or six feet of him, but tlu* idea of trying or attempting to shoot him never entered my head, nor do I be lieve it was thought of by any soldier present. As Davis, his wife and private secretary ascended the steps through the open ranks of the soldiers pres ent, the soldiers faced inward and presented arms, to which Mr. Davis lifted Ids hat in recognition of tin* compliment. Ashe en tered tin* hotel he turned partially around and again elevated 1 is hat, and then passed out of sight and I saw him no more. This is quite enough to refute Jthe wilful falsehood that “Dans, seeing Thompson's purpose, cried out, ‘for God's sake. Lieuten ant, save my life.”’ Not a word was ut tered to nor by Mr. Davis as he entered the hotel, nor was there any mark of disrespect exhibited by any one toward him ; hut the demeanor of tin* soldiers preseut was that of men who felt they were conquerors and Mr. Davis a conquered adversary. I repel with indignation the imputation that any soldier of the Fourth Indiana Cavalry (ex cepting, possibly, Lieutenant Isgrigg) would have been guilty of such base cowardice as that sought to la* fastened on me by the false utterances of Harry Isgrigg. 1'uldish this aud much oblige.

Koine time >11100 he n iticed that mouey was disappearing from Ids till with astonishing rapidity, and in order to capture tho thief yesterday placed a constable on watch in the second story. A hole lHired through the ceiling gave a view to the cash drawer, in which several marked pieces of money were placed. Holmes was seen to take the money from the drawer, and one of the pieces which he passed was afterward found in Gardner’s drug store. Holmes was charged with the crime and paid $1,000 to Mr. Ostrander to settle tho matter. Ostrander lost from $1,000 to $1,500 by tho peculations.
