PRESIDENT JEFF, DAVIS His Anguish on Being Ironed at Fort Monroe. A STRONG APPEAL FAILED To Shake a Captain’s Respect for^ Orders—A Leaf From the Diary of the Resident Surgeon of the Fort in ’65. Among tbo multitudinous documents in the library at. Fort Monroe thoro Is not ono of more absorbing interest tlmn the diary of Brcvot Lieutenant John J. Cravon, sur geon United States volunteers, who was the physician in charge of the fort when Jefferson Davis was a prisoner within its ■walls. Tbo diary gives a graphic account of the prison lifo of Mr. Davis and con tains many incidents that reflect his devo tion to the lost cause. Its pages are not colored by sectional feeling, but, on the contrary, they bear the unprejudiced testi mony of a medical adviser who was not blind to the character and attainments of his patient. It covers a period of about six months, during which timo Dr. Craven attended tho president of the Confederacy almost daily. On the morning of the 23d of May, 1885, the proud spirit of Jefferson Davis under went a sevoro trlnl—a trial which was probably severer than has over in modern times been inflicted upon a man of suoh eminence. On that morning ho was shac kled. Lieutenant Craven’s story of the oireumstanco is ns follows: Captain Jerome E. Titlow of tho Third Pennsylvania artillery entered tho prison er’s ceil, followed by tho blacksmith of the fort and his assistant, tho latter carry ing in his hands some heavy and harshly rattling shackles. Mr. Davis, feverish aft er a sleeploss night, was reclining on his couch whon they entered. His food of the day before was still lying untouched on a tin nlate near him. “Well,” said Mr. Davis ns they entered. “I have an unpleasant duty to perform, sir,” said Captain Tltlow, and as ho spoko the blacksmith took the shackles from his assistant. Tho prisoner leaped from his bed with flushed fnoe, and his countenance grew livid and rigid as death, ilo gasped for breath and clutohod his throat with the thin fingers of his right linnd. Then, re covering himself slowly, while his wasted figure towered up to its full height, ap pearing first to swell with indiguution and then to shrink with terror as ho glanced from the captain's face to the shackles, ho said slowly and with deep emotion: •1 My God, you could not hnvo been sent to iron mef” ‘‘Such are my orders, sir,” replied the officer, beckoning to the blacksmith to ap proach. “This is too monstrous!” groaned the prisonor, glaring around tho room cs If for some weapon or means of self destruc tion. “I domand, oaptaln, that you let mo sco the commanding officer. Can ho pre tend that such shacklos are required to so cure the safo custody of a weak old man in such a fort as this?” “It could servo no purpose," replied Captain Tltlow. “His orders arc from Washington, as mine are from him.” “But ho can telegraph,” insisted Mr. Davis eagorly. “There must be some mis take. No such outrage as you threaten me with is on rocord in the history of nations. Beg him to telegraph and dolay until ho reoelvos an answer.” “My orders are peremptory," said the officer, “and admit of no delay. For your own sake lot mo odviso you to submit with patience. As a soldier, Mr. Davis, you know that I must execute orders." “These are not orders for a soldior," shouted tho prisoner, losing all oontrol of himself. “Thoy nro orders for a jailer, for o hangman, which no soldier woaring a sword should aocept. I tell you the world will ring with this disgrace. Tho war Is over, the south Is conquered. I have no longer any country but America, and it is for the honor of America, as for my own honor in lifo, that I plead against this degradation. Kill mel kill me!” he cried passionately, throwing his arms wide opon nnd exposing his breast, “rather than In flict on mo and on my pooplo this insult worse than doath.” ‘‘Do your duty, blacksmith, said the officer, wulklug toward the embrasure, as If not caring to witness the performance. “It only gives Increased pain on all sides to protract this Interview.” At theso words the blacksmith advanced with the shackles, and seeing that the prisoner had one foot upon the ohair near his bedside nnd his right hand resting up on the back of the ohnlr the brawny mO chanloattempted to sllponeof the shackles over tlio foot so raisod; but, as If with the vehemonco and strength of frenzy, Mr. Davis suddenly seized the Iron worker and hurled him half way across the room. Captain Tltlow turned, and, seeing that the prisoner had backed against the wall for further resistance, bogan to remon strate with him. "I am a prisoner of war,” fiercely re torted Mr. Davis. “I have boon a soldier in tho armlos of Amerloa and know how to die. Only kill mo, nnd my last breath shall bo a blessing on your head, but whilo I have life and strength to resist for myself and my people, this thing shall not be done.” Captain Tltlow now fully recognlzod that the chnrnoter of the man with whom he had to deal was suoh as oould not be turnod from what he regarded as cardinal principles of honor by a few soft words, as tho wind moves the loaves on the trees, and, determined to end the Interview and put tho orders which had beon given him into effect os soon as possible, he flailed in a sergeant and filo of soldiers from tho next room. Tho sergoaut advanced to seize tho prisoner. Immediately Mr. Da vis flew at him, seized his inusket and at tempted to wrench it from his grasp. Of oourse, such a scone oould havo but one Issue. There was a short, determined struggle. In a moment Mr. Davis was thrown on his bed, and bofore the soldiers removed their hands the blacksmith had done his work. This done, Mr. Davis lay for a moment as if In a stupor. Then slowly raising himself and turning around, he dropped his shackled feet to tho floor. The clank of the chains suemed to recall him to his situation, and, liidKig his face in his hands, ho sobbed passionately and orled: “Oh, the shame! Tho shame!” With bis feet bound by the heavy and rudely constructed shackles, Mr. Davis lay on his oouoh for several days. The tray bearing food similar to that which was furnished to tho hearty soldiers of the fort, a tin plate and a spoon were placed beside him at regular intervals each day and taken away untouched. Dr. Craven saw that If Mr. Davis re mained in shackles his death would soon follow. His constitution was broken gown,, his nerves shattered and his mind burdened. Accordingly, at tho earnc--. sollcltutiqu of tli» doctor, the shackles were removed on the Bfith of May,—Wash ington Putt .*-***■ Tmbbr Jmff to Her Kittens. Albert Stetsp^!

WUl Result When the Gas Engine Super sedes All Steam. The announcement that George West lngbouse, Jr., had undortaken tho devel opment of a gas engine for heavy station ary and locomotive service has creatod wonderful Interest In the scientific and In dustrial world. No doubt is entortalnod whatever that a revolution In Industrial practices will bo the result, as overy effort in tho direotlou of mechanical improve ment made by the noted Pittsburg Invent or has been uniformly successful. To the world and Pittsburg particularly tho fulfillment of Mr. Wostinghouso's plans in connection with tho gas engine means tho economy of nature’s treasures to an incalculable degree. To Pittsburg’s groat manufacturing interest alone it will mean the saving of millions annually in fuol and machinery cost, while promise is given that the present system of railway propulsion will bo vastly Improved and cheapened. The gas engine will abolish the sinoko nuisance In manufacturing oltios and on tho railroads of tho country. The oost of producing elcotrlolty for illu minating and power purposes will bo min imized and the benoflts placed within the reach of tho people more generally. The object contemplated by Mr. Wost lnghouso is to apply tho primary power in tho production of oloctricity directly to tho elcctrio gouorator without tho stoam rais ing power.—Pittsburg Dispatch. Can’t We Have One Too? There Is no end of comment in the Eng llsh press about the Duke of Marlborough's prospective alllunoe with the Vuuderbilt family.

If the serum really possesses the property which the professor declares it has, this will undoubtedly be ono of the most important discoveries of the century. No mother with eligible daughters and no unmarried woman would, in that event, evor be without one of the hypodermio syringes filled to the nozzle with anti American alliance fluid.”—Now York Sun. Washington as a Stock Breeder. Captain D. G. Purse, who is running the Savannah end of the great exposition, has seoured a relic which seems to be proof that General George Washington was somewhat of a stock grower and took a hand in making exhibits at fairs himself. This rolio is a large solid Bilvor cup with the date of 1790 upon it, ndd by its appear ance it was without doubt mado about that time. It boars the following inscrip tion in lino lettering just under the rim: “A premium from the Agricultural soci ety of South Carolina to General Washing ton for raising tho largost jackass.” Just under the word “jackass” is a picture of the animal himself, engraved on the sil ver. Captain Purse is now in temporary possession of this relic, and proposes to se cure it for the collection of colonial rolics to be exhibited by tho Colonial Dames of America.—Charleston News and Courior. As to Rloglug the Liberty Bell. The follow that takos tho contract of ringing the Columbian Liberty bell every night at midnight until Cuba is free Is likely to lose a good deal of sleep and run the risk of being locked up as a public nuisance. If the owners of the Columbian Liberty boll want to engage in any such Quixotic nonsenso as this lot them ring a bell in tholr own neck of the woods and not be interfering with tho slumbers of virtuous people. Wo don't git up all night down in this seotion of tho oountry.—Au gusta (Ga.) Chroniclo. BUDS, Society buds, young wo men just entering; the doors of soci ety or woman hood, require the wisest care. To be beautiful and charming they must have perfect health, with all it implies — a clear slciu, rosy cheeks, bright eyes and Igood spirits. At this period the youug woman is especially sensi tive, aud many nervous troubles, which continue through life, have their origin at this pain, headache, backache, and nervous dis turbances, or the general health not good, the judicious use of medicine should be employed. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip tion is the best restorative tonic and nerv ine at this time. The best bodily condition results from its use. It’s a remedy spe cially indicated for those delicate weak nesses and derangements that afflict wo menkind at one period or another. You’ll find that the woman who has faithfully used the ‘‘Prescription’’ is the picture of health, she looks well and she feels well. In catarrhal inflammation, in chronic dis placements common to women, where there are symptoms of backache, dizziness or fainting, bearing down seusations, disor dered stomach, moodiness, fatigue, etc., the trouble is surely dispelled and the suflerer brought back to health and good spirits. •• WOMAN’S ILLS."

BEST KNOWN' OF AMERICA’S WRITERS. L -* ... . ■ — -r . . M. Quad, the Detroit * Free Press Man, Made Well by Paine’s; Celery Compound. Mr. Carles B. Lewis Is more familiarly known to the thousands whose life he has cheered as M. Quad. If must be more than a score of years since the country was laughing: over the sayings of his honor and Bijah, chronicled by Mr. Lewis to the Detroit Free Press. From that time until now M. Quad has delighted the public with unnumbered quaint sketches of character, overflowing with a humor that appealed to readers all the more strongly because they recognized ithc fidelity to life under the fun. Among Mr. Lewis’ recent creations the Bowsers. Brother Gardiner, Mrs. Gallup's Tribulations, Possum Sketches, and the Arizona Kicker are destined to long life. Mr. Lewis’ .admirers will be surprised to learn that, like Walter Scott, Mark Twain and other highly gifted authors, he has produced work of rare quality while tor mented by pain. Mr. Lewis suffered intensely from rheu matism. "It made my days and nights miserable,” he says, " and, of course, the agony was greater in bad weather. At the same time my nerves were weak, and I was in worse shape than I hope ever to be again. Yes, I took advice by the yard and medicine by the quart with no success. I was broken in spirit and bent almost double in the body, when somebody suggested Paine's celery com pound for the nervousness. That remedy made short work of the nervousness and of the rheumatism, too. A few doses made me feel much better, and today I am well; a happy change that I attribute to the use of Paine's celery compound. It gives me sincere pleasure to bear witness on the merits of the compound. I know at least a dozen authors and journalists who have found It a, remedy for the same complaints." Rheumatism attacks the body when it is tired out, and when, its functions begin to act sluggishly. Disordered nerves, faulty digestion, and a slow, incomplete nutrition of the body invite rheumatism Just as they do neuralgia and nervous de bility. There is no surer starting point for rheumatism than a “run-down,’’ nerveless condition. Paine's celery compound Increases the appetite by giving a healthy tone to the stomach; It makes sure that the entire nervous system gets completely nour ished. It regulates the bowels and the kidneys and encourages them to get rid of harmful and poisonous matter that the sluggish system has allowed to lodge In the blood, thus causing rheumatism and kindred disorders. You cannot cure rheumatism by out ward applications. The disease is due to internal disorder and must be constitu tionally attacked and got rid of. Paine’s celery compound has done for thousands of other people exactly what It did for Mr. Lewis. They were sufferers as he was. and the compound has made them well. The warmest praises of Paine’s celery compound are from men and women of high character and keen Intelligence. They know they are doing a work of hu manity and mercy in commending to all persons out of health this certain and speedy means of getting strong and well. B. C.
