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.

Street Washington D. O. August 18th, 1886. 6 its. 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. SAB OF GEORGIA EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT. PROCLAMATION. GEORGIA. By HENRY D. McDANIEL, Governor of Said State.

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.
