A Very Attractive Girl in Paris.—A

are instantly attracted towards her when she
approaches uear to them. She has only be

last three weeks. Tlie phenomenon lias been

Proposed Congress of Jews in Paris.—
The Gazette dc France, alluding to a Jewish
Council which is to assemble in Paris next

The abolition of the prohibition of certain ar

which exists amoug the Jews in Algeria ; and
the recognition of female children as equally
qualified to inherit in that country with |the
males. The French Government is said to be
very anxious for the reforms relating to the
African colony, as there are in Algeria forty
thousand Jewish families, composed of indus
trious people, who are not snbjeet to the gene

Wh a t Jeff Jiavis Says About the Capture of
John H. Surra*—No Present Prospect of His
J rial before Spray—A Friendly Offering.
Fortress Monroe, December 14,1860.
JHFF DAVIS AND THE CAPTURE OF SURRATT.
, since the arrest of John 11. Surratt, and
the statements appearing in the papers of his
charging the assassination of President Lincoln
as having been devised in Richmond, with the
knowledge and sanction of Jeff Davis, I have
been anxiously awaiting an authoritative ex
pression of Mr. Davis’ opinion regarding the
arrest and the serious allegations professed to
have been made agaiust him by the prisoner
supposed to have been more conversant with
the original plot and plotters than any of the
conspirators, and next to Booth, the assassin,
more deeply implicated in the terrible tragedy
depriving Mr. Lincoln ot his life and the coun
try of a Chief Magistrate, whose tragic deatii
cast such a deep gloom over the whole country.
Mr. Davis, as I have been told, expresses grati
fication at the arrest of,Surratt. He is gratified
because now he sees the way clearer than ever
to the establishment of his own innocence in
connection with the death of Mr. Lincoln.
Even if the captured fugitiveprefers the accusa
tions it is claimed he will, he avers that it will
be a very simple and easy matter to disprove
them, and his anxiety in regard to the result
has this depth and compass and no more—the
desire of an early opportunity to meet and
refute the charges. Whatever of criminality
may attach to him as the head and front
of the late rebellion, whatever of treason
there may have been to his country in his
official acts as the chosen chief of she Con
federacy, he is willing an impartial jury shall de
termine, and if he is. proven a traitor and mer
iting a traitor’s doom, he is willing to pay the
penalty of his death ; for then the knowledge pf
the motives prompting to his course and mens
sibi conscia recti will sustain him. The penalty
of defeat in tlfe great struggle of a great people
for a great principle he would cheerfully pay,
and though judged by the standard of sober
discretion his course may have been premature
and ill-advised, and though tried by the techni
cal tests of the law he may be adjudged guilty
of treason, there would yet be something of
glory in such a fate ; but every feeling of his
nature revolts at assassination, and particularly
of such a man as Mr. Lincoln, who, although
his opponent in a contest of arms, lie respected
for his integrity, high magnanimity of character
and sincere and unyielding devotion to what he
considered right. All this, as relates to the
capture of Surratt and the interests and destiny
of Mr. Davis as involved in the case, and par
ticularly the expressed gratification of the latter
at the arrest, does not much favor the theory of
Mr. Davis’ implication in the murder of Mr.
Lincoln. Disregarding his own assertions, his
friends feel confident that if Surratt does attempt
to shoulder the assassination plot on him, a
rigid investigation will show the charge as
groundless as that attempted by the alleged per
jurer Conover and his tools before the special
investigation committee of the last Congress.
Concluding this topic, 1 will therefore add that
the capture of Surratt has not diminished the
appetite of Jeff Davis ; that his sleep has been
none the less on account of it; that he main
tains the same even tenor of mind and spirits,
nid is as cordial and social as ever towards the
officers of the fort and visiting friends daily call
ing to see him.
THE TRIAL OF JEFF DAVIS.
A dispatch from one of your Washington
correspondents states that the trial of Jeff Davis
is not likely to occur until next spring. This
confirms a similar statement of mine made some
time ago, which statement I based on facts giv
en me by Mr. S. N. Chandler, United States
District Attorney for this District. The next
session of the United States Circuit Court for
this District is appointed to meet on the sth of
May. It is possible that an extra session of the
Court may be called before this time, or that
some unexpected turn of events growing out of
I’m capture of Surratt may demand a speedier
trial; but neither of these contingencies is cal
culated upon as strongly probable. Meantime
tlie confident assurances entertained some lime
since of a general amnesty proclamation are
daily becoming beautifully less.
THE JEFF DAVIS CANE.
The ertne to be made in Norfolk out of the
rebel ram Merrimac for presentation to Jeff
Davis, of'which you have already been apprised,
is completed, and will lie raffled for to-morrow
evening at the Ladies’ Catholic Fair, who orig
inated the making ot it and presentation by the
winner to Mr. Davis. The head is of massive
gold and bears on the top the name “Jefferson
Davis.” On the sides are the following inscrip
tions: “A relic of the renowned Merrimac.”—
“ From the. Catholic Fair, Norfolk, Ya., 1800.”
“ Tlie offering of one and the tribute ot many.”
Tlie cane is of that heavy calibre pompous coun
try doctors, pedantic clergymen and very moral
Congressmen are given to carrying, and for this
reason it is probable-that. Mr. Davis, who affects
light, jaunty walking sticks, will keep It more
for ornament and tlie value of (lie gold than for
use.
(From Tom Hughes’ Letters to tlie N. Y. Tribune.
Social Life in Loudon.
Here, in this little island, about the size of
one of your average States, a population is con
centrated not fiir from equal lo that of the
Union. The centre of this hive is Loudon, in
creasing at a new-world rate year by year, and
as large already as Now York, Philadelphia,
nusourrturn wutcagu an run mu* one [Unless i
have forgotten my figures). The number of
rich people living within four miles of Charing
Cross is at all times almost inconceivable—un
happy rich people I mean, who are known to
give diuners and go out. Even in this comfort
able, jog-trot, quiet time of year you might dme
out every night if you did not carefully guard
yourselves against tlie commencement ot hos
tilitiea in any new quarter. Imagine, therefore,
what it is from January to August, when all tlie
great folk of the country are thrown into the
already bewildered caldron.
Every one of the dinner-giving people is more
or less anxious to entertain and be entertained
by those who are on tlie round of the ladder
jnst above them. Professional men and mer
chants, and men of moderate fortunes, desire to
visit knights and baronets, or to learn from oc
ular inspection how M. l’.’s sustain tlie flesh.—
M. P.’s and knights and baronets don’t see why
they shouldn’t be asked to the hOuses of ilic
cabinet, and those of such earls and other po
tentates as come from their own country, and
are to them at quarter sessions. The
potentates themselves, with tlie exception of
t lie dozeif or two whose position is absolutely
secure, arc just as keen and jealous about invi
tations to Marlho'."'Dugh House, or any royal
festivity, provided i’j bo exclusive. In short,
there is a perpetual qpw'-iril pressure in society,
and as the size of mortal rt'oins is, after ail, lim
ited, those who are pressing up arc compelled
Dy the laws of self-preservation i.° keep a keen
look out, lest their own visiting-bo'Nks should
get inconveniently crowded. But w'.atch as
keenly as they may, it is impossible to prevent
the. natural secretions, as years go on. A cer
tain number of new nwncs will and must get l
into the dinner ledger, year by year, and thus
it becomes a regular debtor anil creditor ac
count with those who once get into the shafts.
So many feeding debts to be paid within a cer
tain limited number of weeks. Send out your
invitatious in the sincere hope that previous
engagements may prevent the acceptance of
half of them, so that you may get more names
ticked oft your list, more debts paid. Crowd in
eighteen when there is comfortable room for
twelve only; and then, having secured your
victims, send for the French cook and the
waiters; do the regulation business, and thank
Heaven when it is over, and you have such rest
as can be got at similar entertainments at other
people’s house till next week. Then, in the
season when people get dinner, there is no
comfort or repose, such as should accompany
and follow good food to be found there. Lon
don dinners never begin before eight o’clock
now, and last at least two hours, so that by the
time you get up to tlie drawing-room, there are
tlie carriages at the door, full of girls, who want
to get on to balls and drums. If you have no
girls aud no carriages, ten to one your host and
hostess want to be off themselves to evening
parties, which must not be altogether neglect
ed. Such, at least, is the received theory, so
tin- as I can judge, in the going out world.
X have heard it over and over again asserted,
in defense of the tearing about from one house
to another, in the middle of the night, and just
showing yourself to the hostess, that society is
like a practice at the bar ; you must fake in all
if you want to succeed ; and if you onee get
tlie reputation of not showing, you will sooube
dropped out.
To the Graduates and Honorary Members of
the Phi Kappa Society—University of
Georgia.
In accordance with a resolution passed at a
late meeting of this Society, we have been ap
pointed a committee for the purpose of solicit
ing from you, contributions of books and money
with which to replenish our wasted library.
At the close of our late struggle for indepen
dence, when the Federal forces occupied the
town of Athens, our Library Hall was used as a
military ofllcc by them, and the main Hall con
verted into a place of revelry and riotous amuse
ment. In this way we jiecessarily sustained
an almost irreparable loss. Many of our most
valuable books were scattered and lost, and the
hall was otherwise greatly abused.
We would therefore most earnestly appeal to
you for relief, in order that our beloved Society
may recover at once from those injuries.
We appeal to your liberality, to your love for
the University and the Society, and to the in
terest which every true Southern heart should
feel in home education ; and we are sure that
.these motives and considerations will prompt
you to lend us kind and generous aid.
If, then, you will assist ns in reviving the in
lere its of our Society, we will gratefully receive
all contributions of books and money.

respective cities, as is most convenient.

Michael Dennis.
The following brief sketch of this, in some
respects, extraordinaryinan, is from the pen of
our old friend of the Countryman :
Michael Dennis, was horn in Putnam county,
Georgia, on the 3d day of May, 1801, near Flat
Rock Mill, and died in Eatouton, Gn., on Mon
day night, the 16th inst., about' seven o’clock,
in the 66th year of his age.
The deceased left a record beliindhim worthy
of being transmitted to posterity, and hence I
write this brief notice of his life.
His origin was a Quaker parentage, and it is
believed that his first American ancestor came
to Pennsylvania with William Penn. One
branch of the family removed to Georgia, and
settled east of the Oconee. About the time of
the organization of the counties west of the
Oconee, his family, William Dennis, settled in
the woods, and was one of those hardy pioneers
who telled the forest, and from the rich virgin
soil, dug out, bv his own manual labor, a for
tune. Old William Dennis always raised grain,
more than cotton, and always sold it at a rea
sonable price, especially to the poor. It was a
mater, not only of principle, but of pride with
him, to do so.
Ia early manhood the subject of this memoir
engaged in mercantile pursuits in Eatontou,
ant! failed. His father paid off his indebted
ness, and from that tirße the young man re
solved to engage in nothing but agricultural
pursuits, or kindred branches. Connected
with his agricultural pursuits was an extensive
milling business. From the field, and from the
mill-stone, set in operation by himself, he made
a large fortune, the greater part of which was
invested in negro slaves, which he lost by the
war.
His judgment as a business man was not
surpassed.' Every one with whom he came in
contact relied upon it. Hence he was made
President of a railroad. President of a cotton
factory, bank director, Ac.
Fls affections were large and warm. He
mat* the kindest husband, the best father, aDd
mot indulgent master. Quiet and unobtrusive
in Jh manner—shrinking from public dernon
strslon in any respect—showing his Quaker
chapter upon every occasion, lie never had a
diffjplty with any one. If man reviled him,
he uyiled not again, but pursued the even ten
or f| his way—returning good for evil—and
nevg failing to win over his eueruy by his
kiuiess. He endeavored to impress it upon
his 6 Irarcn and childcen-in-law to act in the
sairar way.
bit there, was a Roman courage and unbend
ing Will about him, notwithstanding all his
kiooiess. He never swerved from what he be
lievi to be right; and he had remarkable con
troller men in bringing them to his opinion
wit.aut letting them know that he was con
trolijig them. But such suavity of manner did
he lave—such power to soften and subdue the
effpission of his features, while in life, that
intimately acquainted with him while
Ik afll tabernacled with us, did not perceive
Useapwerftal and massive cast of his face, until
itf»osedin death. Then it was that his will
and his features appeared as nature
nSaHhem.
Mrfeennis was a good man. His works do
live mer him. He was not afraid to die. A
shi.rtlme before he left us, his son sat by his
bed sle, and said, “ Father, I suppose you
knowyon are to die.” “Yes,” was the ready
v e piyj“ bnt that is a very small matter ; that is
all rilit; but Ido not leave my affairs as I
woiiblike to have them.”
Heiad had his property—his hard earn
iugs-lcstroyed by the torch and the red hands
of invader. He loved his wife and
Ws chMrcn, and felt anxiety because he could
not te*e them as comfortable and independent
h<r#d expected to do. Ilis heart yearned
urcwfl loved ones he had to leave behind
him. lut thank God, his troubled sjiirit is now
at rest«lie was a benefactor to the communi
ty jn vii'’b he lived, abounding in charity, -
withmd letting his left hand know what his
right, f(l, end deserves a monument. The
hrjtnbis lauds of one who loved him renders <
thissmut tribute to his revered memory. i
