THE BODY R AT RICHMOND.
When President Davis last
December a year ago the different
cities of the Sooth sot up their
claims to be the final vest-
of the great chieftain.
Numerous petitions were present
to Mrs. Davis and family from
various places to let the
dent be buried there
New Orleans was selected as n
temporary grave and Mis. Davis
for a, year to consider the
matter and consult with her
that time she received
many petitions and from
all parts of the Booth. Neatly
eighteen mouths elapsed before
she made her final decision. A
special deputation from
on her in Sew York
and set forth claims
to he final resting of the
Booth's beloved leader in her days
of darkness calamity.
A few days ago Mrs. Davis
made public her decision. Every
place that petitioned sot forth good
reasons pal she considering that
as Virginia ha A bean the scene of
actions and
the point, decided to
the body over to the care of
the citizens of Richmond to rest
there the day of
Mississippi presented strong
bad given to the
country and bestowed on him
honor she and was
tho place of his residence, and
therefore had good claims to
the final renting place of ins earth-
remains. But Virginia was the
place of his great career. It was
there ho guided tho destinies of
the South in the four years of
equal struggle. There he display-
ed his great qualities of states-
he won tho
dying of tho soldier in the
gray, and it is fitting and proper
that he should be permanently in
the ex-capital of the Confederacy.
Two chieftains were never more
beloved by any people than
son Davis and R. E. Leo wore by
the South. In the great war they
linked their destinies with the
South, and by they gave
the their lives for its
independence, the one in the ox
office guiding the affairs
of State, tho other in tho field
leading his men to victory, and
comforting them in defeat. They
stood by her in war, they stood
by her in peace, and in down-
fall they cast their destiny with
those whom they had led.
Lexington, Ya., is Gen. Lee's
resting place but he
ought to lie side by side with
Jefferson Davis in Richmond.
The world has recognized Gen.
Lea's ability and generalship, but
it not yet awarded to
son Davis the recognition which is
due him. It w ill be done and ho
will be found to be second
in America.
Ono of the most uncalled for
things we have seen is the attack
of Rev. Dixon on bis broth-
A. C- Dixon. It shows a
of notoriety more than of the
Christian truth. The Christian
world so far as the two men are
known does recognize and has
A. O. Dixon as a safer
leader than Thomas Dixon. The
attack grew out of a remark made
by A. C. Dixon about Henry Ward
Beeches. I Bra. Thomas Dixon
says he regards Beecher as the
Greatest man world has pro-
and if Beecher is in he
wants to go there too. We guess
if be gets there with him he will
have much as he do with-
out enjoying his company.

That Excursion.
There was excursion to Norfolk
last Wednesday, and the disappoint
ed ones heaped enough upon
the fellow who run it, if the w
had been brick bats, to have buried
him a mile deep.
J. A. Sanders, of
ed a train to run an excursion
to Norfolk and return. He
advertised that there would be special
cars for Mb and escorts,
cars for white
cars for colored people, water in
coach, a refreshment oar, end
a special officer appointed the
Governor to keen order, all for the
low price of the round trip
from Greenville, These wore draw,
cards, and the way they drew
was a wonder. He put them in the
and of course they drew.
The people were just
such an excursion and for two weeks
before hand nothing was talked but
going to Norfolk. Those who had
money enough to buy a ticket put it
aside fur fear it would got away from
them somehow, and those who did
not hive enough got a move on them
to get it, and even the small wage
earner with no surplus at all deter-
mined to go though it. necessitated
short rations for a week. A few
days before hand Sanders earns
to survey the field and -it did not
take him long to that he
was bagging a crowd. An idea
struck him that he could add a few
dollars extra to his receipts
for the day by polling on sale scats
for special cars in only
allowed, at an ad-
of on the regular
price. This was a winner and the
tickets went like hot cakes.
Finally the long far day sf.

awhile. As i-he train

than the coaches already here, seats,

crowding on the steps hoping to find
more room when Greenville was
reached. And it was said that a,
or two people bad been left
at who not even get on.
It was evident that no more could
get on here and a flood of disappoint
swept over the crowd. People
had driven as tar as twenty mile i

was no go. the train all
on board that it con Id carry, and
many more than it ought to carry, it
was decided to make no other -stop
between here and and then
only to couple on the car loft there.
When the train pulled out from
Greenville it was estimated that three
hundred disappointed people
standing around the depot. At
House station fifty or seventy-five
more were waiting to get on, the
train rushed by and there was an-
other disappointed crowd. The
same thing at only the
number left was many times larger.
At the Junction, and Goose
Nest the same scenes were repeated.
The estimate was that at all the
lions fully five hundred got
left, if not more.
And everything was not a bed of
roses for all who wore or
enough to get on the
cars. There was no officer along to
preserve order, and everything was a
jam. Instead of the being
kept supplied with water the thirsty
passengers had lo pay ii cents a glass
for it after tho first supply gave out.
The excursionists seemed to enjoy
themselves at Norfolk and Ports-
mouth, but with many the fatigue
and discomforts along the trip more
than counterbalanced the pleasure.
The authorities of the railroad found
out how tho train was overcrowded
and compelled Sunders to procure
extra coaches at Portsmouth before
the was permitted to return.
Even this did not give room enough.
Several of the excursionists got left
in Portsmouth.

is what amuses Broadway loungers and

a great crowd the other evening. Tho
half masticated stuff stuck in the bright
animal's jaws, and his efforts
to bolt it or to get his foot on it or to
dispose of it in some way were comical
and caused intense delight among his
audience. His dilemma did not
vent him from all be could get.
Just as he had securely stuck his
teeth together a passing poodle at-
his attention and he made the
usual jump, tho length of his tether; but
his powerful jaws absolutely refused to
work. They had lost their snap. The
poodle stared at him with impudent
amazement, while look of pain and
