VACATION DAYS,
When Johnnie comes to Rtundma's house old Tow
ner runs away,
Tho kitten climbs the npplo-treo and stays up
thorc ull day;
Tho chickens in tho barnynrd aro os flustered ns
enn be—
They don’t approve of little boys, ns anyone can
see.
And many n nbrht before he comos poor Nora lies
awake
DovlBlnsr hldlnor-placos for the things ho might
break;
Tho jam and jelly’s suro to bo upon tho highest
shelf,
But grandma gots them down sometimes, and bids
him help himself.
When Johnnie comes to grandma's house there’s
mud upon the floor,
And thumb-prints on tho banisters and grouse
on every door;
The house is always upside down tho whole time
he is there;
Poor Nora sighs ami wonders why dear grandma
doesn’t care.
But when at lust that boy’s in bed and everything
is still,
Old Towser leaves tho barn and Tabby ventures
forth at will- -
’Tin then tho much abused urm-chair holds con
clave in the dark
With the old clock in the corner, standing thero
so still and stark.
'T n 2i? u * lc worn ol »L" abo limply sighs; "since
that young scapegrace, John,
Came out from town I’vo been ut times moBt rude-
tI ly sat upon.”
"It Jieats my time.” tho clock replies, "how mod’
ern young folks do;
It wasn’t so in my day. What’s the world u-com
ingto?”
JEFFERSON DAVIS, LOVER.
Confederate Veteran.
The life of President Davis ran the
gamut of all emotions; he was swept
on by Fate till he mounted the highest
pinnacle of fame and was tossed back
till for years, save among his own peo
ple, there were few so poor as to do
him reverence, and now, in death, once
again he has taken his place among the
great immortals. In his early youth
the golden glow of romance lit his life
into divine radiance. He waB only
twenty-five when he fell in love with
Susan Knox Taylor, the daughter of
Gen. Taylor, called by his many friends
“old Zack” and “Rough and Ready.’
Gen. Taylor was hot-tempered, and bit
terly resented his daughter's engage
ment to the young lieutenant, though
he had no further reason for his oppo
sition than his being a soldier, and he
was opposed to a military life for his
child.
For nearly two yearB the young peo
pie ke ( -if faithful to each other, though
meeting but seldom. Then, as the ; al
tar fires of love Btill burned as brightly
as ever, Miss Taylor went to her fath
er and told him if he could advance no
better reason for his opposition than
the one he had already given she had
decided to cast in her lot with young
Davis, and they would, be married at
the ancestral home of the Taylors.
With the full knowledge that she
was giving up home and father forever,
Miss Taylor bade him good-bye, and,
on the steanier, made her way to Louis
ville, where her young lover was to
join her. Here she was met by her
father’s eldest sister, Mrs. Gibson Tay
lor, who took her to the beautiful old
Taylor home on the Brownsboro road,
near Louisville, Ky.
Lieut. Davis arrived in Louisville
few days before the wedding, and
June 17, 1835, visited the court-house
with Hancock Taylor, a brother of
Zachry, and obtained a license to mar
ry “Susan Knox Taylor, of lawful age,
as testified to by Hancock Taylor.”
The wedding wap set for the after
noon of the 18th, and as the happy
bridegroom was riding in his buggy
through the shady roads, he was hailed
by Patrick Pope, the County Court
clerk, who had issued the license, who
said: “Lieutenant, will you let me
see that license? I want to look at it
again.” When he took the license in
his hands he deliberately tore it into
bits and threw them in the road. Dum-
founded, the bridegroom, whose wed
ding was not three hours off, stared at
the man and demanded an explanation
of what seemed the act of a madman.
The clerk said he had been informed
that Miss Taylor was under age and
that her father was intensely antago
nistic to the marriage.
There was no time for argument.
So Lieut. Davis drove quickly to the
house of the bride’s relatives and told
his story. Hancock Taylor waB very
indignant, and called his sister, Mrs.
Gibson Taylor, to the conference. She
Baid she had lately received a letter
from her brother, Zachary, in which
he stated that he still opposed the mar
riage for the old reasons, but that his
daughter wasof age; and if she persisted
in her intention, the wedding had best
take place in the family home. This
was enough for Hancock Taylor, who,
with his nephew-elect, drove rapidly to
the court-house. Here he swore to the
bride’s age—twenty-two—and demand
ed of Clerk Pope a reissuance of the
license. With this, they returned, the
horse covered with foam from the swift
drive, and within a few moments of
their return the bride and groom stood
side by Bide in a room made beautiful
with the fulness of June blooms, lis
tening to the grand words of the Epis-
And the cause of all thla trouble-do you think
the rascal cares?—
Is miles away In Slumber Land in his small bed
upstairs;
But grandma says, when she Roes In to tuck the
ti blankets down.
Dear, dear, we will be lonesome when that boy
Roes back to town.” —[Marie Grove.
copal marriage service given by Rev,
Mr. Ashe, at that time the only Epis
copal clergyman in Louisville.
Mrs. Robinson, who was one of the
Taylor children present at the wed
ding, says: ”My cousin, Knox Taylor,
was very beautiful, alight, and not
very tall, with brown wavy hair and
clear gray eyes, very lovely and lova
ble, and a young woman of decided
spirit. She was dressed in a dark truv
eling dress, with a small hat to match
Lieut. Davis was dressed in the con
ventions of the time, in a long-tail cut
away coat, brocaded waistcoat,,
breeches tight-fitting and held under
the instep with a strap, and high stove
pipe hat. He was of slender build, had
polished manners, nnd was of a quiet,
intellectual countenance."
Lewis Taylor nnd Sallio Taylor (af
terwards Mrs. Jewett), first cousins of
the bride, were groomsman and maid
of honor. None of Lieut. Davis’ poo
pie could bo present, and the guests
were entirely of the bride’s relatives,
Mrs. Robinson says she distinctly re
members how she shared the other
children's disgust because Mr. Davis
was the only person present who .did
not cry.
The bride and groom left at once on
the steamboat for Natchez, Miss. July
and August were spent in honeymoon
ing at the different plantations of his
people in Mississippi and Louisiana. In
September, at Locust Grove, the plan
tation of his sister, Mrs. Luther Smith,
near Bayou Sara, both were stricken
with malarial fever. From the first
her case was hopeless, and though des
perately ill himself, Lieut. Davis nursed
her day and night. On September 5,
as the afternoon shadows were gather
ing softly, she began to sing, in her
beautiful voice, “Fairy Bells,” her fa
vorite song. He soothed her to quiet
with fond words and caresses, and
nestling in the arms of her young lover,
like a tired child she fell asleep, a
sleep that knew no waking.
(It is a singular coincidence that so
many years after, years filled with tri
umphs and defeats, joys and sorrows
he should have contracted again this
fever in the same place and be carried
to New Orleans to fall asleep in turn
“Life’s fitful fever \ over, ho rests
well.”)
When Zachry Taylor heard of the
death of his young daughter, like the
prophet of old, he refused to be com
forted; but he did not forgive the
bridegroom who had taken her away
from him. Four years passed on, and
in the war with Mexico the young
lieutenant won many laurels, and his
name became a synonym for valor and
patriotism; but the grim general made
no sign. It was only when in the bat
tle of Buena Vista, and Col. Davis, by
his brilliant generalship, practically
saved the day to the Americans, that
he relented and sent for his Bon-in-law,
and across the chasm of years peace
was declared between them.
The old house, the scene of the gol
den romance of Jeff Davis’ youth, has
passed into other hands. The Taylor
family has drifted away, and no one
cared for the house, with its poetic
ghoBts of memory. One story has been
removed from the house, and the other
part is rapidly falling to decuy. The
room in which that day, in joyous June,
waB held the fairy-like marriage, is now
used for a bed-room by a farmer boy,
whose toil-deepened slumbers are never
disturbed by dreams of that long-ago
romance. The pigs and chickens feed
at the doorstep once crossed by the
fair bride, the daughter of one future
President, and the wife of another.
Only the locust trees are faithful.
Year by year they offer their burden of
blossoms as snowy and Bweet as when
the wedding bells rang their joyful
peals. They alone whisper together of
the marriage that they saw—the joy-
crowned woman who so soon would fall
asleep to dream no more.
Mr. Davis was not only good and
honorable, he was a devoted Christian.
In 1862, in the midst of the stress of
war which tried men's souls, he was
baptized by Dr. Charles Minnegerode,
rector of St. Paul’s church at Rich
mond. During the anxious years after
the war he was often wounded ;by un
just criticisms at home and abroad; but
unjust criticisms must be expected by
all persons bearing heavy responsibili
ties. Even George Washington was
abused by enemies, both British and
American.
We may be glad that the Lord gave
Mr. Davis a long life, and that, instead
of dying under the weight of his and
our sorrows and griefs, he lived to the
age of eighty, and that peace and love
crowned his days. At “evening time
it was light” for him.

The action of the Senate in voting to
admit the Territories of New Mexico
nnd Arizona to statehood is the culmi
nation of a long fight for their recogni
tion, Hnd the last that ever will be made
to admit new States in the Continental
United States.
With the admission of these two Ter
ritories there will be no more except
the non-contiguous ones of Alaska,
Guam, Hawaii, Panama Canal Zone,
the Philippines, Porto Rico, nnd the
Tutulia Group, Samoa. These are cer
tain to remain in their present condition
for many years—in fact, no one is bold
enougji to predict their final status.
Thu Distr'ct of Columbia will also con
tinue as a neutral possession of tho Fed
eral Government.
Within the last twenty yeurs there
have been admitted to statehood eight
States—North Dakota, South Dakota,
Montana, Washington, Idaho, Wyom
ing, Utah and Oklahoma.
The trouble heretofore with the
proposed admission of New Mexico
and Arizona has been the effort to
have them combined and admitted as
one State. This plan failed about three
years ago, and since then the matter
has assumed such a shape that both
parties made their admission an issue
in their national platforms in 19u8.
Arizona has an estimated population
of 154,121, of which about 36,000 are
Indians. There is an area of 113,936
square miles, twice the size of Georgia.
It rejected by a popular vote the act
admitting it to statehood with New
Mexico.
New Mexico is about the same size-
122,604 square miles—and has a popula
tion of 226,885, of which about 18,000
are Indians.
Although there has been much oppo
sition to their admission either as ono
State or separately, on various grounds,
botli have the necessary population for
a Representative when in Btatehood.
The territories aro unlike in their po
litical, economic nnd racial conditions,
and to consolidate them would be un
just to both. At present the political
complexion is a Btand-oiT. Arizona has
a territorial Legislature that is largely
Democratic, but it is represented by a
Republican in CongreBB; New Mexico
has a territorial Legislature largely Re
publican and .has a Republican Repre
sentative. Of course, all the territori
al officials are Republicans, being ap
pointed by the President.

Mrs. M. E. Smith, 12 First street,

Pills are certainly a fine remedy, and I
willingly indorse them. For eight
years Kidney trouble distressed me. It
began with a weakness and occasional
pains in my back, and steadily grew
more severe until it developed into a
constant dull aching through this re
gion. I could not rest comfortably at
night and would awake in the morning
tired and depressed. Dizzy spells
always annoyed me; in fact, I felt very
badly. A friend recently advised me
to take Doan’s Kidney Pills, and pro
curing a box at Lee Bros’, drug store,
I began their use. They helped me at
once, and I fully believe that a contin
ued use will permanently remove every
symptom of my.complaint.”
