JEFF DAVIS' PATRIOTISM.
ffctt Bradley T. Johnson Says of
the Legal Statas of tne oon-
federate Chief.
An American reporter scrambled
p the steps leading to the law ..!
gces of General Bradley T. Johnson,
otCourtland street, yesterday, and
jound two closed floors confronting
him. Very naturally, he rapped at
frbe wrong door first. A loud voice,
aoparentlvfrom within, exc. aimed.

the reporter, and saw only chair-, and
desks! but no general. "Over this
wav," repeated the voice h- tones
that soumied like the comnianJ to a
regiment. "Over this way" v.;-tt
the reporter and st ood before Gen
eral johnson, who, behind his desk,
was caret a' iy attending to his htw
business.
"Well, what can I i for yon?"
asked the general.
The reporter stated that h.; h.ad
come to ascertain tlie general's view s
is to tiie life and character Jefferson
Davis.
"Take A .seat," said General
Johnson with great alacrity, "and I
will gratify the American's cm io-d-
General Johnson then, with much
spirit and force, said: "In my
opinion, Mr. Jefferson Davis is a
stntesman and a patriot. In his long
life, devoted to the service of his
people, he has always been faithtul
i and above criticism. While opin
ions differ as to the wisdom of his
administration of the affairs of the
confederate states while president,
no man can question his fidelity to
the principles he had maintained .ill
his life or the cause ne had espoused.
The ostracism of Mr. Davis by dis
franchisement twenty years after the
war is a disgrace to the people who
insist upon continuing it. He was
neither conspirator nor traitor, and 1
' have the best of reasons tor asserting
that the federal administration was
afraid to bring to the test the ques
tion of treason by trial or judicial
determination. The principles laid
down by the supreme court ot the
United States, in a long series of
decisions, established two p-oposi-tions:
'I. That in a civil war citizens
who take sides with either party
cannot afterwerds be convicted of
treason by civil courts. This is as
ofd as the statute of treasons.
u2. That the war between the
states was a civil war, with all the
consequences to its adherents ot a
war inter gentes. Therefore, the
war was a war between the states,
nd its supporters were not traitors.
In the opinion ot Chief justice Chase,
this was admitted and established
here by the third section of the four
teenth amendment to the constitu
tion otthe United States, which was-
declaration by all the states that
participants in the civil war should
be punished by disfranchisement,
ad in no other way. The recent
attack on Mr. Davis was an indecent
Kempt by the uerpetrators of it
disgraceful to themselves to stir up
the dying embers of sectional hate
for a miserable partisan purpose. It
was unpatriotic and deserves the
reprobation of ail good citiens.
which I believe it will teceive. The
ex-confederates are as much devoted
to the union under the constitution,
to liberty, to republican institutions
a:d to democratic principles as those
who -supported the union side.

DIAMONDS l OH DlilLLS.
An K.xplanationof tlie Aiwaratu by Which
1)H'1 Kik k Boring It Arcompiixhed.
"Diamonds are comparatively cheap
nowadays." a rock-drill manufacturer
said to a New York Sun reporter, "and
the diamond-set bits used in the dia
mond drills do not cost as much as they
did."
"Are genuine diamonds used in these
drills, or are they called diamond
drills because the steel lias an extreme
ly hard temper?" the reporter asked.
"Diamonds are used in the drills.
They are chiefly one and two carat
stones. At present they cost about "-'0
a carat. They are in the rough. The
diamond-set bit is hollow. It is a steel
thimble, having three rows of diamonds
imbedded in it, so that the edges in one
row project from its face, while the
edges of those in the other two rows
project from the outer and inner per
iphery respectively. The diamonds of
the lirst-nientione'd row cut the path of
the drill in its forward progress, while
those on the outer and inner periphery
of the tool enlarge the cavity."
"How are the diamonds set in the
bit?"
"The bit is of soft steel, in which
holes are drilled. After the diamonds
are fitted the metal is hammered
against them so that tluw remain
firm."
"Do tlie diamonds wear out?
"Their edges which come in contact
with the rocK get a little smooth, and
then they are taken out and reset, so
that a fresh edge is presented."
"Have all the hollow drills three
rows of diamonds?"
"No. Some have only one roxv, but
these are not very large. The dia
monds stand out from the steel setting,
so that the steel does not come in con
tact with the rock."
"How are the diamond drills work
ed?" "Dy a rapid rotation varying any
where from 400 to 1,000 revolutions "a
minute. There are different machines
u.setl for different kinds of drilling. For
deep boring a machine with a double
oscillating cj'linder engine is used
mounted on an upright or horizontal
tubular boiler. The machine has a
screw shaft made of heavy hydraulic
tubing from rive to seven feet in length,
with a deep screw cut in the outside.
The shaft also carries a spline, by which
it is feathered to a loxver sleeve gear.
This gear is double, and connects by
its upper teeth with a beveled driving
gear, and by its lower teeth with a re
lease gear, which is a friction gear, and
is fitted to the lower end of the feed
shaft, to the top of which a gear is
feathered, fitting to the upper gear of
the screw shaft, which has one or more
teeth less than the upper gear on the
feed shaft, whereby a differential feed
is pro! need. This friction gear is at
tached to the bottom of the feed shaft
by a friction nut, producing a combined
differential and fractional feed, which
renders the drill perfectly sensitive to
the character of the work through
which it is passing, and maintaining a
uniform pressure. The drill rod. made
of heavy iapweld tubing, passes through
the screw shaft and is held tirm by a
chuck at the bottom of the serexv shaft.
To the lower end of this tubular boring
rod the bit is screwed, and to the upper
is a watch sxvivel. to which connection
is made with a steam-pump. You can
see by this that the machine i xery
simple ami not likely to get out of
order."

cuts it up in a curious
.-hilly at the -mailer
Avon river is the sight
ha.- been wondered at
bv
so .!.. Li t .
YViud-or is a little town of about ;-.-inhabitants,
on the elevation at the
iTitcC-cetioT! of the Avon and Ct. Croix
river.-, and is a very lively place for so
small a one. Ib-re the Avon river is
about a mile in width, and if you hap
pen to strike the river from the interior
you would woiiuerwhat -the inhabitants
and the farmers "lived upon the bord
ers of such a gulch for. You stand
upon the edge of an enormous mud
crevasse, half a mile wide and extend
ing as far as the eye can reach, and as
some one refers to the river you put on
your glasses and discover in the center
of this slough of despond a narrow,
trickling stream, about two feet wide.
Can this be the river, you ask? It
must be, as here are bridges, two of
them, but so wofully long and shaky on
their pins and high above the stream
they appear like the. very ghosts of
bttdges on stilts. From above, the
chasm appears shelved and cavernous
in its aspect. The sides seem to grade
oil into terraces of red and gray mud,
until linally the pan of bottom rock is
reached, along which the pseudo river
iiows. Something is expected, as here
are expensive dvkes, that are reared to
keep the water from the farms in the
back country: then again vessels lie at
the docks of this inland town, high and
dry, miles and miles from water deep
enough to float them. Do xve wait an
hour or so, all this will be changed.
We first notice the silvery- thread of
water stop in its course, then the water
is seen to llow up stream, and if you
turn your head for a fexv minutes you
find upon again looking that the silvery
thread has grown to a stream fifty feet
wide. Twenty minutes later it is a
raging Hood, as xvide as the Schuylkill,
foaming, rushing, and boiling, rising in
waves that break against each other,
ever pushing on. as if propelled by
some mysterious force.
In this sudden rush of the waters
animals are often caught; pigs that
have wandered out into the mud are
overcome by the onward rollers, and
foxvl have been seen surrounded and
floated away on the waves, to be res
cued, perhaps, far up the stream, thirty
feet higher than the spot xvhere they
xvcre taken up. Flocks of birds fre
quently follow the tidal wave, or bore,
as it is called, feeding upon the fish
that are east ashore, and catching them
as the tide goes out.
Why the waves should be so high in
coming in is explained in different
ways. One theory- is that it is formed
by the tidal current rushing against the
current of the river, and passing over
obstructions of more than ordinary
height that tend to pu-di the water up.
In the Hoogiy river the wave rises to ?
height of twenty feet; in tlie Amazon
thirty, and in the Tsientage. China,
about the same. The xvave in Ftindy,
however, is not to be compared to
these in anv resoect. As to rapiditv.
tne tide comes in about as
last as an
ordinary horse ean
v.-ottld have to exert
ot. ami a man
11 ids speed to
e.-eape.
The height to which the water actu
ally ri-es differs in different places, and
depeuds-upon circumstances. Thus, if
the sun and. moon could pull together,
so to speak, anil a strong wind set in at
the same time, an eee.
Hungiv
high
tide would ! the result. It is claimed
that it has risen sixty f.-et at Moneton:
at Sackviile a tit'ty-foot fall and rise is
common: at (uaco, thirty-four feet,
and at Parrsboro. opposite Caoe Blomi
d n. about forty-five feet. These are
remarkable figures, and the sight of
vessels that, say. in the morning have
been alongside the dock, now forty
feet below anil r.o water in sight is
still more remarkable. i'Wei ILrahl.

Kivlish Hair Cutting;.
"There ha- been a great change in
the fashion of hair cutting within the
past year or two." said an old (Jcrrnan
barber in a park place .-hop. He was
a typical (iorman. with a red nose, a
big imt-tache. thick speech, ami ser
ious manner, lb' stood erect as beiit- ,
ting an ex-meiuber of the lienuan
Fifth llegiment. and his highest ambi- j
tion for the past twenty years has been
to be a good barber.
"A Year or so ago." he continued. ;
"very many men wore their hair ijuite j
long; it was no uncommon thing to see j
men of fashion with looks curlingabout ;
their ear- and a plentiful shock of hair !
behind. Now, however, every man j
who has any care for appearances at j
all keeps the hair at the. side., and back j
of his head clipped close: the hair is j
shaved down until, about the cars and I
the neck, it is clipped as closely as it is '
possible for shears to take it off. It
grows longer as you go near the top of
the head, and when you reach the part
at the side or in the. middle, it is an
inch or so in length. We no longer
shave neeks. I have no doubt you re
member when it was quite the custom
to cut a man's hair in a semi-circle be
hind and then shave his neck up to the
point where the hair began to grow. It
is a pernicious custom. It makes the
hair grow in stiff bristles down to the
shoulders, and if I shave, a neck once
the chances are I shall have to do it
always. The fashion which so many
young men, particularly office boys,
practiced last year, of banging their
liair, is no longer in style, nor is it
proper to brush the hair at the sides of
the head forward over the cars. The
majority of very fashionable customers
now part their hair in the middle, or
so near it that there is no telling the
difference, and that they brush it back
from the forehead on cither side, and
also brush it back from the ears. Hut
the one particular point of all is to keep
all that part of the hair which shows
under your hat clipped close to the
head; on the top of your head it may
le as long as you choose. The locks
straggling around the collar are away
out of style."
''What about the. French method of
dressing the hair, which so many men
copied last year?"
"That xv as run to death by the office
boys and clerks, and so had to be given
up" The English model is now the one
xve all follow. It strikes me that the
average American has no dearer ambi
tion just now than to present the ap
pearance of an Englishmen." .V..

Hewry A. Wise ami Joe Broxx-n.
"Wise was one of the brightest men j
America has produced. He could talk j
like a telegraph, chew tobacco and ;
xvrite letters at the same time. He was j
a great tobaeco-ohewcr, and averaged j
during exciting times a plug an hour.
I have s-en him in a company of twen- '
ty noted men. where he monopolized ;
the whole conversation. He was a j
brilliant man. a line writer, and one of i
the most eloquent of speakers. His i
son John does not look 1 ke him. and I ;
do not think that he inherited his fath-
er"s abilities."

Coventor Je I.roxvn. of Ceorgia. and
this man: -Hroxvn xvas 1-orn in the .

was verv poor as a xoung man. and j
