Winston Leader: Never before in the annals of Winston as a tobacco market has there been such a quantity of the weed brought here as there was last week- The oldest tobacco men say they haveeft nothing like it before. Mon day, Tuesday and Wednesday, of the past week, were marked by the advent of an immense number of wagons that pouTed into Winston, freighted with the "bright leaf." The number has been estimated at over 300, and this, too, when there were no special sales, or anything of the kind to induce the far mers to market their crops. The ware houses were full, to their utmost capacity Ireland' ICesil Condition. Philadelphia Times. Meagre as they are, the advices from Ireland show that the extent of the distress and the consequent danger of death from famine are greater than wa. imagined in this country a few weeks ago: AU the -money that has been contributed here and in England woTdd not, if divided per capita, amount to a dollar for each person1 who is on the brink of starvation. Howr long will a dbllar keep a man alive ? The story as told in the statement that in Donegal alone the number of the distressed has increased! to sixty-six thousand, and that the increase in the county Mayo in two weeks was nearly seventeen thou sand. The Herald's Dublin correspon dent reports that it is the opinion of competent observers that the worst is to come, although there will be a re laxation of the famine during the two weeks when labor will be employed in sowing the crops. The experience of 1847 teaches that the stverest period of the famine will be the last fortnight of May, the whole of June and the first fortnight of July. These considera tions must impress the importance of keeping up a steady flow of subscrip tions to the several funds which have already reached such respectable pro portions. The New York Herald has now collected $-237,101.77, or, excluding Mr. Bennett's own subscription, an average of over $7,500 a day sinee it be gan the work. This is noble, but it is not enough. Let nobody keep his hand in. his pocket with the idea that the danger has passed. Mr, Davis Explains the "Clothes Siory." Leiter to tfov. Stone f Mississippi. The late Mrs. Sarah A. Dorsey, a few days before her death, instructed me to present to her native State, Mississippi, the crayon portrait which accompanies this letter.

Every article 1 then had on appears in this portrai ture,' except pair of large spurs, which were stolen from me after my capture, I had a water-proof "Raglan" and a shawl about my head and shoul ders when I left my tent; but on being hailed by a cavalryman who rode a considerable distance before his com rades, I dropped both the Raglan and shawl while advancing on my challen ger, ana thus appeared perore my cap tors in the exact costume represented in the portrait. aithlully yours, Jefferson Davis. Beauvoir, Alig. 14. A Scene Not on the Bills. The police of Louisville raided the Metropolitan theatre on Friday and captured the entire company of per formers. The time chosen for the raid was when the troupe were in the midst of a closing sketeh or after piece, called "Free Love, or the Oneida Com munity7," which is described as the cap stone to the climax of obscenity. Billy Robinson, in the character of a negro, was performing a marriage ceremony, while toe scantily draped females were grouped about the stage. The audience took the alarm When the omcers ap peared and - made a rush for the door, while the Kbald aeadS" in the pit fairly climbed upon the aeks of the crowd to put space between themselves and the police. Six: men and fifteen girls were captured, but most of them pro cured bail. Marriage arid Divorce. The statistics relating to divorce in Massachusetts show, in the first place, that while the number of marriages is declining in Massachusetts, the num ber of divorces is largely increasing. In the eighteen years , between i860 and 1878, notwithstanding there has been a large increase of population within that period, the number ol marriages has not, kept pace with it, there being 12,404 persons married in the State iu I860 and but I293.in 1878, while ,th.e num ber of divorces has increased from 243 in 1860 to 600 in 1878, or from 1 in 51 to 1 in 21. , , An Appetite for Cake.
