WHY JEFF. DAVIS FAILED.—If Jeffer
son Davis had been a superior statesman,
he would have prevented his section brav
ing the public opiuion of the world in a
hopeless contest. But passing over the
preliminaries of the rebellion, and consid
ering liiin merely as the chief magistrate
of the confederacy, it is difficult to decern
any evidences ot firs'-rate capacity. The
South, «s the wet-kcr party in the contest,
had no chance of success but in the most
perfect intreual unity, and yet Davis re
tained his old political ami personal ani
mosities, persecuting prominent men and
capable commanders, to pay off old grudg
es. This showed equal want of magnan
imity uud largeness of view. It wag es-
Fcutial that the confederate administration
should comprise the best abilities of the
South. But the natural arrogance of Davis'
character, and his dictatorial spirit, led
liiin to prefer tool* to counsellors, so that
his administration never had the weight
aud authority of the collective wisdom of
the South, but only the personal weight of
the rebel President. The besetting weak
ness of Davis, character was an unreason
ing, headstrong obstinacy, which did not
leave iiiui master of his actions. It was
this which puslicd him into the rebellion
against his own better judgment; it was
this which would brook no independent
advice in the cabinet; it was in this which
caused him to persecute some oi his most
deserving generals j it was this which
made him persevere in the rebellion after
it h>td become hopeless, rather than accept
terms which President Lincoln would have
granted him.
No ADVANTAGE —THE IRISHMAN AND
TIIG 808-TAILED KOOSTER.—An Irishman,
employed on n farm, was told by the farm
er that one of his duties would be to feed
the chickens. This be did daily ; but he
observed with much concern, that when
he gave them their corn meal pudding, an
old drake that was among the Hock shov
eled it in with bis bruad bill, much faster
than than the chickens could do. At last
an idea struck him. One evening, as usual
while Pat was distributing pudding to his
lowN. he commenced soliloquizing in the
following manner: Arrah, be J—,an'
here ye are agen, ye d—d spoonbill quad
ruped ; ye lay under the barn all dty, and
when I say chi-ky, chi-ky, be St. Paterick,
ye are the first one here, an' ye pick
up (lire* month fulls all in one; an' now,
be jiibers, an' I'll tix ye for that, an' so I
will.' Sure enough Pat toll'd the drake
el'ise up to him, and made a grab and nab
bed him. 'An' it's welcome ye are. blast
yer ugly picter: when I'm done ve'll not
pick up more nor yer 'hare.' With that
Put g >t out hi* knife an 1 tiinv-d th<* drake's
