M?kktt A Co._ How Mr. Davis was Put in Clains. On the morning of the 23d of May, a bitter trial was in store for the proud spirit?a trial severer probably, than has ever in modem times been inflicted upon any who had enjoyed such eminence. This morning Jefferson Davis was ohac keled. It was while all the swarming camps of the armies of the Potomac, the Tennessee and Georgia?over two hundred thousand bronzed and lau? reled veterans?were preparing for the grand review of the nest morning, in which, passing in endless succession be? fore the mansion of the President, the conquering military power of the nation was to lay down its arms at the feet of the civil authority, that the following scene was enacted at Fort Monroe: Capt. Jerome E. Titlow, of the Third Pennsylvania Artillery, entered the pris? oner's cell, followed by the blacksmith of the fort and his assistant, the latter car? rying in his hands some heavy and 1 harshly rattling shackles. As they en- : tered, Mr. Davis was reclining on his bed, feverish and weary, after a sleepless 1 night, the food placed near him the pre- ! ceding day untouched on his tin plate ; near his bedside. Well ? said Mr. Davis, as they entered, slightly raising his head. ? I have an unpleasant duty to perform, sir, said Captain Titlow; and as he spoke ' the senior blacksmith took the shackles \ from his assistant. Davis leaped instantly from his reenm face for a moment, and then Ins counten? ance growing as livid and rigid as death. He gasped for breath, clutching his throat with the thin fingers of his right bent attitude, le, a flush his aand, ana tuen recovering nimseu siowiy, while his wasted figure towered up to its j full height?now appeariog to'swell with 1 indignation and then to shrink with ter- 1 ?or, as he glanced from the Captain's 1 "ace to the shackles?he said slowly and ' ivith a laboring chest: My God! Yon cannot have been sent I ?iron me? . Such are my orders, sir, replied the officer, beckoning the blacksmith to ap- 1 preach, who stepped forward, unlocking j the padlock ana preparing the fetters to Jo their office. These fetters were of j heavy iron, probably five-eights of an ' iuch in thickness, ana connected together j jy a chain of like weight. I believe they 1 ire now in the possession of Major Gen- 1 ;ral Miles, and will form an interesting 1 relic. This is too monstrous, groaned the 1 prisoner, glaring hurriedly round the ( room, as if for some weapon, or means 1 )f 3eff-destructiou. I demand, Captain, ! ;hat you let me see the commanding of- ' ice. Can he pretend that such shackles ] ire required to secure the safe custody of i weak old man, so guarded and in such 1 l fort as this'1 ! It would serve to no purpose, replied 1 Oaptain Titlow; his orders are from 1 Washington, as mine are from him. But he can telegraph, interposed Mr. ! Davis, eagerly; there must be some mis- 1 take. No such outrage as you threaten ne with is on record in the history of 1 lations. Beg him to telegraph, and de- : lay until he receives an answer. 3 My orders are peremptory, said the ' )fficer, and admit of no delay. For your i >wn sake, let me advise you to submit 3 ,vith patience. As a soldier, Mr. Davis, i r'ou know I must execute orders. These are not orders for a soldier, 1 ihouted the prisoner, losing all control >f himself. They are orders for a jailor 1 ?for a hangman, which no soldier, wear- 1 ng a sword should accept I I tell you < be world will ring with this disgrace. < rhe war it over: the South is conquered. ' r i- T.?? ? ??.? I?. A ??. 1 l utkvc uu luugci any luuuuj uui auiu ica, and it is for the honor of America, 1 is for my own honor and life, that I : plead against this degradation. Kill me I I bill me! he crLi passionately, throwing Iiis arms wide open and exposing his breast, rather than inflict on me-and my people through me this insult, worse than | leath. Do your duty, blacksmith, said the of 5cer, walking toward the embrasure as if not caring to witness the performance. ' [t only gives increased pain on all sides to protract this interview. At these words the blacksmith ad? vanced with the shackles, and seeing that the prisoner had one foot upon the chair near his bedside, his right hand resting j )n the back of it, the brawny mechanic i nade an attempt to slip one of the shac- 1 des over tho ankle so raised; but with 1 the vehemence and power which frenzy ' done can impart, even to the weakest 1 individual, Mr. Davis suddenly seized his assailant and hurled him half way across 1 the room. On this Captain Titlow turned, and ! seeing that Davis had backed against the trail for further resistance, began to re monstrate, pointing out in brief, clear 1 language that this course was madness, md that the order must be enforced at ! my cost Why compel me, he added, to ldd the further indignity of personal violence to the necessity of your being xoned? I am a prisoner of war, fiercely retorted Vir. Davis; I have been a soldier in the 1 irmies of America, and know how to die. Dnly kill me, and my last breath shall 3e a blessing on your head. But while I ; save life and strength to resist, for my? self and for my people, this thing ?hall i lot be done. Hereupon Captain Titlow called in a ' Sergeant and file of soldiers from the next room, and the Sergeant advanced 1 to seize the prisoner. Immediately Mr. Davis flew on him and seized his musket and attempted to wrench it from bis jrasp. Of course such a scene could have but one issue. There was a short, passionate scuffle. In a moment Davis was flung upon his bed, and before his four power? ful assailants removed their hands from him the blacksmith and his assistant had done their work?one securing the rivet on the right ankle while the other turned the key in the padlock on the left. This done, Mr. Davis lay for a moment as if in a stupor. Then slowly raising himself and turning round, he dropped his shackled feet to the floor. The harsh clank of the striking chain seems first to have recalled him to his situation, and dropping his face into his hands, he burst into a passionate flood of sobbing, rocking to ana fro, and mutter? ing at brief intervals: Oh, the shame! the shame I It may here be stated, tLough out of its due order?that we may get rid in haste of an unpleasant subject?Mr. Davis some months later, when frequent visits had made him more free to con? verse, gave a curious explanation of the last feature in this incident. He had been speaking of suicide, and denounced it as the worst form of cow? ardice and folly. Life is not like a com? mission that we can resign when disgus? ted with the service. Taking it by your own hand is a confession of judgment to all that your worst enemies can allege. It has often flashed against me as a tempting remedy for neuralgic torture; but, thank God, I never sought my own death but once, and then when com? pletely frenzied, and not master of my actions. When they came to iron me that day, as a last resource of despera? tion, I seized a soldier's musket and at? tempted to wrench it from his bands, hopiDg that in the scuffle and surprise some of his comrades would shoot or bayonet me. A A WIFE'S FIDELITY. A Reunion After, u Separation of Twenty Five Years. There is now living in this city a lady whose life so far has been filled with more real romance than are the most del? icately wrought characters of fiction. Twenty-five years ago she was married to a man who like herself was in humble though respectable life. Their court? ship had been pleasant, and for aught the lady knows, harmonious and mutu? ally agreeable. On the day following the wedding, however, the husband left home without any apparent reason or any warning whatever. The wife merely supposed at the time that business had 90on return. Days, weeks, months, years passed before she was aware that she was a deserted and wronged woman. She beard nothing from him, but could not entertain the idea that he was dead, and instinctively believed that she would again see him. And just as she became convinced that she was deserted her mar iyrdom began. She was thrown entirely upon her own resources for subsistence, and they were simply honest toil, a liv? ing faith in the reward of duty-doing, and a great self-sacrificing spirit. Thus she toiled on never hearing a word from her husband for many years, but still slinging to the strict and self-imposed duty of silent forbearance. One day after eight years she accidentally met him but he failed to recognize her. She iid not speak to him, but learned from others that since his departure he had led a roving life, and had been in every State in the Union. Now that she knew he lived and yet did nothing tojaid her in her battle of life her action toward him, herself and the world remained unchang? ed. And just here she exhibited to a ;reat degree her almost saintly charac? ter, for instead of accepting any of the numerous advantageous offers of mar? riage which she might have done, she si? lently did her everyday work, bearing his name and cherishing the same affection for him that induced her to become his fvife. There was another long time that she neither saw nor heard from him. But late seemed to favor her, and again she net him by accident. He acted pleased /} see her, told her what he had been doing, that he was still her husband, but aever referred to his strange departure, nor offered her any means of support. Their conversation was a brief one, and they parted without enmity. Neither bad an idea of the plans of the other, nor asked to know. The next that the wife knew of her husband was learned from a newspaper. There she saw].that he had been arrested for leading the Fe? nian riots in Canada, and was sentenced to be hung. A subsequent report in? formed her that his sentence was com? muted to six years' imprisonment. Du? ring those six years she retained her love for him and clung to the faith that her constancy would eventually be recog? nized and appreciated. After the man was let out from the prison cell he again became an adventurer and again acci? dentally met bis wife. He said to her, "What did you think when you saw me sentenced to be hung?" She replied, "I supposed you would be hung." A short interview, in which neither learned the plans of the other, was the result of the meeting. And again be was off. After several more years they'again met, recog? nized, but passed by in silence. Strange as has been the first act of this comedy of curious actions, the sequel is still stranger. Last February the wife received a letter from her erratic hus? band, in which he begged for forgivness, and asked her to go to Washington and live with him. He is in the govern? ment employ, and she has consented, and will start for her new home in Septem? ber. Twenty-five years elasped between the lay of the wedding and the receipt of the letter. During that time she never ceased to love him and he had never commenced to love her. Neither ever tried to obtain a divorce. The lady is the picture of health. The man was a fine-looking fellow when he was married, and had jet black hair. To-day he is much thinner and his hair is almost white. As dream-like and unnatural as all this may seem, it is asserted to be true by a responsible and highly esteemed young lady, whose relations with the wife gave her the means of knowing the particu? lars of the extraordinary romance.?Mil wau/He Wisconsin. Desperate Attempt to Escape Jail. On Sunday, about 3 p. m., T. V. Skel? ton, our efficient jailor, went up in the ia.il to feed the prisoners. On account of the extreme heat he allowed the prison? ers to stay out in the hall of the jail du? ring the day time, putting them in the cells at night. There were two negroes in the upper department, Henry Thomas and Jack Bowers. After he had given them their dinner he went after water for them. When he got back to the jail, Will Pullman (col.), who desired to give George Derritt some cakes, asked permis? sion to enter, which was granted. George is confined down stairs, and Will remain? ed there talking to George through the bars. Skelton went up stairs and opened the door of the hall and bent slightly for? ward to set the water on the floor, and noticed that Jack Bowers was eating. At this moment Henry Thomas, who had secreted himself just behind the door, reached forward aud clasped his hands in a deadly grip around Skelton's throat and Jack ran forward to help Henry. They choked Skelton until he gradually gave way, and they all tumbled down stairs together, Henry still clinging to Skelton's throat, and Jack ran his hands in Skelton's pockets to get the key of the outside door, which Skelton takes the precaution to lock. They failed to get the key, however, as Skelton bides the key elsewhere than on his person. Will Pullman, who had brought the cakes to George, than ran to the rescue of Skel? ton and pulled Jack away, and in the very nick of time, as Jack had one of the large iron locks with, which he was about to crush the head of Skelton. While all this was going on Major Skel? ton, who was walking across the square, heard the noise and ran to see what the matter was. Will Pullman then cried out "Yonder comes plentv of help 1" and Henry loosened his hold and both the rascals ran for their cells in double quick time and covered themselves up with their quilts. Skelton was just behind them, and in a twinkling they were locked up safe as rats in a trap. Great praise is due jailor Skelton for his bravery and the heroic enduranco he displayed in the determination to die rather than let the prisoners escape. He .says the first thought that flashed across his mind when they were choking him was that he would die in his tracks be? fore he would give up the keys. Credit is also due Will Pullman for his timely assistance; but if Major Skelton had not come so promptly to the scene, it is more than probable that the prisoners would have made their escape. Heretofore Mr. Skelton has treated these two prisoners with the most humane kindness, and has fed them on just such food as he has on his own table. We think they should hereafter be fed on strict jail diet?bread and water?and in very limited quanti? ties at that.?Hartwcll (Ga.) Sun. hence and that he would Thoughts for the Mouth. Summer crops being kid aside, au? tumn crops at once claim attention. The ground during this month being general? ly dry and hard, everything should be in readiness to speed the ploughs whenever a shower of rain falls. Have ploughs sharpened, gear put in order and every? thing ready to hitch up at a moment's notice. Stop at once everything else which interferes, as soon as rain comes. Clover, turnip, rye and barley land needs to be put in finest tilth by the middle of September, and there is no time to lose. Plough, cross-plough, harrow and drag whenever the land is iu order. Haul out manure (stable or compost) at once, so that no mule will be kept out of the plough after rain falls. Some farmers seldom fail to get these crops started in good time?others fail oftener than they succeed, and the cry is "bad luck," no rain, whilst the truth is, good or bad management is at the bottom of it all. One looks well ahead and makes his ar? rangements accordingly?the other looks little beyond the end of his nose, and is never ready when the golden moment arrives. We publish in this number a very timely article from the experienced gar? dener, Mr. Peter Henderson, on firming the soil as a means of encouraging the germination and growth of seeds in dry weather. We have repeatedly noticed facts such as he describes in our own ex? perience, and have for years adopted the plan of pressing small seeds down in the drill, either by foot or with the edge of a thick plank. The past spring, in plant? ing some corn when the earth was quite dry, we had the droppers step upon the grains as they dropped them, ana the re? sult was one of the best stands of corn we ever had. In broad casting seed, the "firming" can only be done by passing a heavy roller over the land after the seed are ploughed, harrowed or brushed in?a practice long and heartily advocated by the best farmers in grain and grass grow? ing countries. Our readers will not be offended if we urge upon them to devote quite a large area to fall crops?a country afflicted with such disastrous summer droughts as visit us, ought to push winter crops to the utmost. These crops are also com? mended to us by the comparatively small amount of labor they require?the plant? ing and the gathering sum up the whole. A. farmer within our knowledge, by sow? ing four acres to the mule in oats, made this year (notwithstanding the dry spring) enough oats to feed each mule 7 months without other grain or forage, and an abundance for seed purposes in addition. Suppose every farmer in tho South had done likewise, how little corn would suffice to bridge over another year. If it has not been done, and the supply of food is too short to last till next year's crops are laid by, what then?buy West? ern corn! By no means?begin at once to take steps to supply the deficiency by home grown crops. First give the peas already planted, all the working needed to make a full crop, and, when made, gather and store away in the hull, to be fed in that state. Where the crop does not promise a fair yield of seed, cut the vines and cure them; if mixed with grass so much the better. If roofing can be bad, cure in rail or pole pens, making a floor of same 6 or 8 inches above the ground, putting in a layer of green vines 2 feet thick, then another floor, then vines, aud so on, as high as desired. If roofing cannot be had, put stout stack poles securely in the ground and, begin? ning 18 inches from the ground, nail on cross pieces or arms, decreasing in length as you go upwards, and Standing off in every direction like the limbs of a tree. Blake an open rail floor one foot from the-ground and build up a stack with the green vines, shaping and capping it so as to shed rain. An old fielet pine if con? veniently situated can be trimmed, leav? ing the large part of its limbs as arms, and answer quite as well as the stack pole. The green vines arranged in either of above ways, will soon shrink, and being unable to settle down into a compact mass, on account of the inter? vening rails or on account of the arms or limbs, will cure beautifully; and being unexposed to the sun will retain their leaves. In addition to pea vines, cut and save all the crab or other grass to be found. Where long scythes cannot be used (as in corn fields) get the short stout blades, known as "bush" blades (not "hooks") and set them more at right angles on the snath than you would a regular grass blade. They can be made (if sharp) to do very good work in tall tangled grass. Cut down also and cure in shocks, all the stalks of corn which have not pro? duced ears?do this as early as possible. So much for material already on hand. Now for crops that may be planted and utilized early next season. Clover stands at the head of the list ?red clover in strong clay and limestone soils; crimson, California or burr clover in all soils if rich. The last two are an? nuals?planted next month they will flower and produce seed next spring and then die. For feed early in the spring, they are probably to be preferred to red clover, unless one had contemplated sow? ing the latter for other reasons. The California clover is not always relished by stock at first, they must be taught to eat it?the crimson is fully as palatable to them as red clover. Put the land in good tilth, manure heavily with stable manure, crushed cotton seed or cotton seed meal and 100 or 150 lbs. of super? phosphate per acre?and sow of crimson clover 15 pounds per acre, of Califarnia clover 3 or 4 bushels per aero (the seed of the latter being in the burr) and har? row or brush in aud then roll. By the first of Maich, or possibly earlier, you can cut and feed to stock. We do not recommend lucerne in an emergency, such as now under consideration, because it is when young more delicate than the above plants, and more uncertain the first season. The next in value is barley?admirable both for grazing and soiling?early and nutritious?furnishing also matured grain for stock feed earlier than any other crop we can grow. Can be harvested in May, from 3 to 4 weeks earlier than oats. The threshed grain, soaked in water or crushed in the mill, makes excellent horse feed. All know it mi/.-'bcsown on rich land?for grazing 3 to 4 bushels per 1 acre?for seed 2 bushels will answer. ] The main dependence must, however, be placed upon oats?sown from 1st Sep- ! temberto middle October, according to latitude, or again early in January. Those sown in January will not mature quite as early as those sown in autumn. The red rust proof on good land is the most certain, and at least two bushels seed per acre should be sown ?on excess- | ively rich land as much as 4 bushels per i acre may be sown. The thicker the seed? ing, the earlier the maturing. Prepare 1 tho land well, feed the crop well, and don't retard growth by grazing, unless it be necessary in fall to prevent "jointing" before the freezes come. Perhaps it would be well to divide the crops and take two chances, sowing a part in au- ( tumn and a part in January. The latter < sowings in our own experience have been , very successful. They have this advantage, that they \ can be made in cotton land, and the seed ; thoroughly ploughed and harrowed in, i without iuterfering with the cotton crops. They can be manured also with cotton seed without the necessity of killing or | crushing them. Sow the first open spell j in January?we have succeeded well, j however, by sowing as late as tho last ? week in the month. If sowings are made '? in cotton fields in September, follow the , pickers with the ploughs?Biding the cot? ton as clean as possible, then sow seed and cover with sweep or harrow.?South? ern Cultivator for August. ?

Mr. Bowerman Packs His Wife'o Trunk.?Mr. Bowerman and wife left for the country yesterday. One could tell that their trunks were not over half full, as they were pitched into the bag rage car with a crash. They began pack? ing a week ago. When the subject was broached he said he preferred to pack bis own trunk, and he didn't propose to take a whole month to it, either. All he intended to take along was an extra suit, ind could throw that in most any way. Night before last he began work. It struck him that he'd better put in an ex? tra pair of boots as a foundation, and he Sung 'em in and braced 'em in the cor? ners with his clean shirts. The shirts iidn't seem to ride very well, and he braced them with two pairs of trowsers. Then he stuffed his Sunday coat pockets tvith collars and cutTs, and found a place for it, used his white vests for "chink? ing," and the balance of his clothingjust ?tted in nicely. "The man who takes over ten minutes :opack a trunk is a dolt!" said Mr. Bow? erman, as he slammed down the lid and aimed the key. Mrs. Bowerman had been at it just seven days and seven nights, and when :he husband went up stairs at 10 o'clock the sat down before the open trunk with ?ars in her eyes. "You see how it is," she explained, as ie looked down upon her in awful con ;empt, "I've got only part of my dresses n here, to say nothing of a thousand )ther things, and even now the lid won't ihut down. I've got such a headache I nust lie down for a few minutes." She went awav, and Mr. Bowerman sat lown and mused: "Space is space. The use of space is n knowing how to utilize it." Removing everything, he began re jacking. He found that a Bilk dress :ould be rolled to the size of a quart jug. k freshly-starched lawn was made to ake the place of a pair of slippers. Her >rown bunting fitted into the niche she lad reserved for three handkerchiefs, and ier best bonnet was turned bottom up in ts box and packed full of underclothing.

Going jack home her incoherent, maddened ind rambling conduct was noticed by ier husband and children, and they be? same terribly excited and wrought up ibout it.

The painter saw the error, but he didn't want the job of correcting it, and he re? plied : "Madam, haven't you had two hus? bands?" "Yes, sir." "You were a Mrs., when you lost the first?" "I was." "And do you think a woman can go on marrying forever and not lengthen out her title ?

THE GENUINE DR. C. McLANE'S CELEBRATED LIVER PILLS, FOR THE CURE OF Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint, DYSrEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE. Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. PAIN in the right side, under the edge of the ribs, increases on pres? sure; sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie an the left side; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder blade, and it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken For rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is affected with loss of appe? tite and sickness; the bowels in gen? eral are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There is generally a considerable loss of mem? ory, accompanied with a painful sen? sation of having left undone some? thing which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensa? tion of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exer? cise would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it In fact, he distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them ex? isted, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the liver to have been extensively deranged. AGUE AND FEVER. Dr. C. McLane's Liver Pills, in cases of Ague and Fever, when taken with Quinine, are productive of the most happy results. No better cathartic can be used, preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. We would advise all who are afflicted with this disease to give them a fair trial.

REMARKABLE CURE OF SCROFULA, <tc Case of Col. J, C. Branson. Kingston, Ga., September is, 1871. Gents?For sixteen years I have been a great s??erer from Scrofula in its most distressing forms. I have been confined to my room and bed for fif? teen years with scrofulous ulcurations. The most approved remedies for such cases had been used, and the most eminent physicians consulted, with? out any decided benefit. Thus prostrated, dis? tressed, desponding, I was advised ny Dr. Ayer, of Floyd County, Ua., to commence the uso of your Compound Extract Stillingia. Language Is as in? sufficient to describe the relief I obtained from the use of the Stillingia as it is to convey an adequate idea of the Intensity of my suffering before using your medicine; sufficient to say, I abandoned all other remedies and continued the use of Your Ex? tract of Stillingia, until I can sar truly, "I am cured of all paiu," of all disease, with nothing to obstruct the active pursuit of my profession. Moro than eight months havo elapsed since this re? markable cure, without any return of the disease. For the truth of the abovo statement, I refer to any gentleman In Barlow County, Ga.. and to the members of the bar of CUcrokec Circuit, who are acquainted with me. I shall ever remain, with the deepest gratitude, your obedient servant, J. C. BRANSON, Att'y at Law. A MIRACLE. West Polvt, Ga., Sept. If., 1870. Gents?My daughter was taken on the 25th day of Juno, 1803, with what was supposed to be Acute Rheumatism, and was treated for the samo with no success. In March, following, pieces of bone be? gan to work out of the right arm, and continued to appear till all tho bono from the elbow to the shoulder joint came out. Many pieces of bone came out of the right foot and leg. Tho case was then pronounced one of White Swelling. After having been confined about six years to her bed, and the case considered hopeless, I was induced to try Dr. Pumbcrton's Compound Extract of Stillin? gia, and was so well satisfied with its elects that I have continued the uso of It until tho present. My daughter was confined to her bed about six years before she sat up or even turned over with? out help. She now sits up all day, and sews most of her time?has walked across the room. Her general health l> now good, and I believo she will, as her limbs gain strength, walk well. I attribute her recovery, with the blessing of Hod, to the uso of your Invaluable medicine. With gratitude, I am yours truly, V.'. B. BLANTON. West Point, Ga.. Sept. 16,1870. Gents?Tho above certificate of Mr. W. B. Blan ton we know and certify to ait being true.
