W asliington Critic.
In a certain section of Georgia,Sen
ator Joe Brown is held to be some
thing higher than earth, something
greater than man; and through this
section an Atlanta newspaper man of
a religious turn of mind (there is only
one in Atlanta, and he isn’t there
now) had occasion to travel. One
Sunday he attended a country Sun
day School and was called on to
speak, and to interest the scholars he
asked them questions between his re
marks.
“Who made the great big world?”
he asked, under the subject “Crea
tion.”
“God,” answered the whole school.
“And who made the pretty stars
and the great yellow moon to shine by
night, and the beautiftil silver sun to
shine by day?”
“God,” said all the children again.
“Correct,” he said pleasantly.
“And now, children, who made
God?”
This was a poser, and the school
was silent for a full minute, when a
small hand belonging the postmaster’s
small boy went up.
“Ah, my boy,” smiled the catechi-
zer, “you can answer, can you? Well,
now, tell us who made God.”
“Joe Brown did,” piped the boy,
and all the scholars in the school look
ed ashamed of themselves for being so
ignorant, and even the teachers seem
ed provoked that the postmaster’s
boy had taken the honors.
Many a person is starving with a full
table before them. Appetite gone! Am
bition gone! Life a burden!! What is
the matter? The Liver has ceased to
do its proper work. The life channels
are clogged. Poisonous fluids are
thrown back into the blood, which
should be thrown out. SMITH'S BILE
BEANS will surely stimulate the liver
to do its work well, and headache, sal
lowness and bad breath will flee away.

Correspondence of the Courier-Journal.
Woodville, Miss., Aug. 10.—
Speaking of Jefferson Davis as Frank
lin Pierce’s Secretary of War, “Old
Fogy” says he “was bom in Christian
county, Ky., June 3, 1808,” and that
“he graduated at West Point Military
Academy in 1828;” thence there is a
space in the childhood and youth of
this after eventful life of about 20
years . that it can but interest
and instruct your readers to
fill. From the time of his entering
the political arena Jefferson Davis’
career has been so identified with
Mississippi that the fact, known to
comparatively few at best, that he
was bom, in Kentucky, is lost sight of.
He was not only born, but partly edu
cated there. In filling the void
spoken of, his patriotic descent and
blood will show for itself, for his fath
er, Samuel Davis, a native Georgian,
was a soldier in the American Revolu
tion at seventeen years of age, and
two of his elder brothers, Sam’l and
Isaac, when mere youths, like Cincin-
natus and Israel Putnam, left their
plows and their farm work to engage
in the second struggle of Uncle Sam
with England. Jefferson Davis was
then a child here. Whenl he was
about four years of age, his father
went from Christian county, Ky,, to
Attakapas, La., with his family,
where the experience of a summer’s
sickness in that humid atmosphere
caused him to seek a home in the
hills, which he found in Wilkinson
county, Miss., a short distance from
Woodville. As soon as he was old
enough to go to school, his son Jeffer
son became a day scholar at what
was called the Academy, not far
south of Woodville, and about two
and one-half miles from his residence.
He walked to and from school, and
at times, when his younger nephew,
Hugh Davis, would become tired by
the wayside and fret, as tired children
will, he would pack him on his back.
Ah! these were happy, school-boy
days, in a new, wild, and romantic
land, where Indians were still to be
seen, and bears, panthers, wolves,
foxes, and squirrels in plenty. “Of
all the friends who were schoolmates
then,” John B. Sherrel, of Woodville,
may say, as Ben Bolt’s friend said to
him in the song, “There remain,”
Jeff, “but you and I,” for I can not
recall another living man that I have
heard was his schoolmate. At every
visit Jefferson Davis has made to
Wilkinson county he has inquired for
John Brown, as he was called at school
—his full baptismal name being John
Brown Sherrel—and they have always
met and talked over school-boy days.
Jefferson Davis-remained at the acad
emy under the tutorship of Mr. Shaw
until that worthy teacher pronounced
him a graduate, so far as his course of
instruction reached, when he was
sent to Transylvania College, Lexing
ton, Ky., where he graduated, and
then was admitted to the West Point
Academy, where “Old Fogy” has him
graduated in 1828.
In my boyhood I sawthe noted In
dian captives Black Hawk, Keokuk,
and Prophet, on beard the steam
boat Warrior, at.the wharf at St.
Louis, where 1 and the other school
boys, hearing of the “big injuns,”
ran down to the river for a sight.
Jefferson Davis was on board with
other army officers, but I did not
know, and had never heard of him
then. The first time I ever met him
to know him was in 1845, in Wood
ville and vicinity, when he was can
vassing for Congress. I was then ac
climating for residence in Mississippi or
Louisiana. Then it was I made his
acquaintance. He spoke in the court
house at Woodville; spoke of his boy
hood’s home, of his school-mates, of
his alma mater, Shaw’s Academy, of
his beloved old county, passing on to
the political topics of the time. I was
impressed with the soundness of his
Democracy, his strict construction
views, in connection with which he
related the anecdote of the French
King who wished to know of the com
mandant of the harbor why he did
not Are a salute when he and his suite
approached the town, who answered:
“Pardon me, sire, for 200 reasons;
first, I had not the powder.”
Ah!” replied the king, “that will
and soldier in connection with these
great battles which I would like much
to say, because history has about as
little portrayed the knightly valor of
this statesman, when in arms on the
fields in Mexico, as the real height of
a colossal statue is seen on the top of
St. Peter’s church, more than 471
feet above the earth,* but I can say no
more, at least not now, for fear of
trespassing on your valuable spade.
Old Fogy No. 2.
do, you need not state the other 199.”
So said Mr. Davis: “When I say there
is no power in the Constitution for a
tariff for protection, or for the char
tering of a national bank, I do not
see that I am called upon to give the
other 199 reasons against these
measures.” At that time I
thought I was a Whig. Two years
later I became convinced I must be a
Democrat, without having known it.
I have said I was impressed. I was
even more surprised that a retired
army officer, then a cotton planter,
never having been a lawyer, or mem
ber of a legislative body, should have
been so fine a speaker, nay, so great
an orator. When the election came
for field officers for the First Mississip
pi Regiment for the Mexican war,
although in Congress, at Washington,
not a volunteer Captain, he was
chosen Colonel, while none |but Cap
tains of companies could be elected
Lieutenant Colonel and Major. Mc-
Clung and Bradford had outside op
position, but it was of no avail; they
were seclected. Mr. Davis was hoisted
over the head of all aspirants by ac
clamation as easily as the ensign hoist
ed his regimental flag over their heads.
When I saw ex-Lie utenant, ex-Con-
gressman Jefferson Davis next he was
Col. Jefferson Davis, of the First Mis
sissippi Riflemen. It was at New Or
leans, where he came to join his regi
ment, in July, 1846. I never lost
sight of him any more until the re
turn from Mexico, except for a few
days at a time, and during his tem
porary absence to the States on fur
lough after the battle of Monterey,
and long before that of Buena Vista.
There are things he well merits to
have said in his praise as an officer
Nearly Buried Alive.
Brooklyn Eagle.
Rev. Father Smith, of Brooklyn, a
member of the Dominican order, has
had two very peculiar trance experi
ences. They are thus narrated by
him:
“I am suffering from a malady which
weakens me greatly. But never did
it caustfme to enter into a trance be
fore, except once in Jtaly. For sever
al hours I was believed dead, and it
was only when the chapelle ardente
was being prepared that I awoke. In
Brooklyn the trance began in the
same manner. I had been ailing for
several days. One evening when
was lying on my couch I suddenly felt
a great weakness creeping over me.
I tried to call for help. My mouth re
fused to articulate any sound. In a
moment I had entered into a trance
like the one I had in Italy. When my
friends came into my room they found
me pale and motionless. They felt
my heart, but its pulsations could not
be felt, and they conjectured that I
must have passed* away during their
absence from my bedside. I could
hear them walking about my couch,
but I was so overcome with weakness
that I was unable to move a finger. It
is customary in religious communities
to bury one of their deceased members
shortly after his demise. In accord
ance with the custom they wired the
news of my death to my family in Ot
tawa, and charged one of my confes
sors to prepare my funeral oration.
When the time came to put me in my
coffin I fully realized my horrible po
sition. I tried to move, but the efforts
proved fruitless. YVLen in the coffin
I made a supreme effort and called
upon Heaven to hear me and save me
from such a horrible fate. I succeed
ed in partly raising my head, and this
is what saved me. The first to con
gratulate me was the priest who had
been summoned to preach my funeral
m on.

PROCLAMATION.
GEORGIA.
By HENRY D. McDANIEL,
Governor of Said State.
Whereas, the General Assembly at its

wit:
An Act to amend the Constitution of the State
of Georgia by striking therefrom paragraph

hereby enacted by the authority of the

testifies; “I can recommend Electric
Bitters, as the very best remedy. Ev

find was cured of Rheumatism of ten
years standing.” Abraham Hare,
druggist, Bellville, Ohio, affirms:
“The best selling medicine I have
ever handled in my 20 years’ experi
ence, is Electric Bitters.” Thousands
of others have added their, testimony,
so that the verdict is unanimous that
Electric Bitters do cure all diseases of
the Liver, Kidnevs or Blood. Only a

THE LATEST FROM CUTTING.
The Prisoner to be Released Tuesdsy
Wednesday Next.
El Paso, Texas, Aug. 31 -“By
specfaTdispatch to the El* Paso Times
it has just been learned that yester
day the Second Chamber of the Su
preme Tribunal of the State took up
the case of A. K. Cutting, and, after
reviewing the entire evidence, argu
ment was begun.
This did not last long, The attor
neys pro and con had previously
come to an agreement that “the im
prisonment already suffered by Cut
ting be considered complete purga
tion of his crime.”.
This makes it cartain beyond doubt
that the sentence which follows short
ly will conform to this argument
among the attorneys. The case was
heard with closed doors. The court
holds that both Judge Castendor and
Judge Zubia were exactly right m
trying and sentencing Cutting, but
under the circumstances thinks he
has now, by two months’ confinement
suffered enough, and they will order
his release, to take effect probably by
Tuesday or Wednesday of next
week. , ... ,
The $600 fine is also to be remitted.
The court expressly reaffirms all that
has been said in favor of the right of
Mexico to try an offense committed in
the United States. Therefore, the
status of the case as an international
question, is not, and will not in the
least be settled by the release of Cut
ting. It will come up again directly
on a question of indemnity.
ALL QUIET AT MEXICO.
City of Mexico via Galveston,

here, as it is generally regarded that
the two governments will arrange mat

Why Mr. Clem Came to Town To-Day.
There was, yesterday, received from
New Orleans, a draft for $15,000, the
sum drawn by William Clem of Mon
roeville, in the last Drawing of The
Louisiana State Lottery. Mr. Clem
will he in the city to-^day to receipt for
his newly and easily acquired fortune.
Many persons were skeptical and did
not believe that the money would be
forthcoming. The Louisiana State
Lottery is as solid as a National Bank
and prizes are invariably paid in full.
