" At the Triennial Festival of the Massachusetts Charitable 'HecKanic Association, 'held In Boston, last Friday evening -Mr. 'Cfiarles "NY. Slack, the orator of the occasion, took strong ground in favor of Chi nese emigration. It was,1 in his opinion, the duty ot the nation "to regulate and improve, not repress, Asiatic emigration, as it has Euro pean." Mr. Slack said some very sharp and jnst things of the cruel ties and insults to which the Chi nese - are . subjected in California, and declared his faith "that our po litical system can assimilate the people of every clime and every creed.", These sentiments were well received by an assembly of about twelve hundred ot both sexes. Vrom this it will be seen that Mr. Sumner is not alone in his champi onship of our rat-eating fellow-citizens that are to be. FUNKHAL8 ON SUNDAY. There- are people in Ohio who think it is a sin to bury other people on Sunday. They have, therefore, written ''communications to the newspapers protesting against "fn nerala on,: the. Sabbath day.? One of the newspaper letter-writers ac tually dares to4 think - that burying a friend or relative on Sunday is not so very wicked - after all. He, claims that ."Sunday is an appro priate day for so eminently a reli gious service as a funeral, and that in the case of a member of the la boring class Sunday is the only proper day, inasmuch as the friends could not, in many instances, attend on a week day, for the living must be ted as well as the dead buried." He says he has attended week-day funerals of the laboring class where there wefe not., men sufficient to carry out the corpse. HORRIBLE. Mark Twain, lecturing to a Cos ton audienee on the Sandwich Is lands, when ce came, to discuss can nibalism, remarked i 'Ai this point I usually illustrate cannibalism be fore the audience, but I am a stran ger here, and "feel diffident abont asking favors. However, if there ia any one present who is willing to contribute, a baby -for the purpose of the lecture, I should be glad to know it now. I am aware, though, that children have become 6carce and high of late, having been thin ned out by neglect and ill-treatment since the woman movement began." THEY AIIE O OJdNO.

A Four Days' Journey with the Confederate Chief How lie Looked and H'hat He Said Hits Alleged Complicity in the Assassination PlotHis Trav els and Probable Future. Correspondence of the Cincinnati Commer cial. A ride Irom New . Orleans up the Mis fissippi in that royal craft, the Great Re public, gave me aa opportunity ot becom ing acquainted with Mr. Jefferson Davis. He came aboard at Vicksburg, and pro ceeded as far as Memphis, and in conse quence ot the leakage of one of the boilers and a delay at the mouth of White river, the journey was prolonged for four days. At Greenville, Mississippi where the boat arrived on Sunday last, the news spread that "President Davis" was on board, and a crowd of nearly one hunt'red persons eagerly rushed to the cabin to have a look, or. more fortunately, to cret a shake of the hand from their former chief tain. The same thing wa9 repeated when the boat stopped at Helana, Arkansas. t was noticablc that many colored per- sons displayed ns much interest and en thusiasm as the white people, and seemed equally gratified to get a few kindly words from the man about whom such extraordinary associations clustered. MR. DAVIS S PERSONNEL I had not before seen Mr. Davis. I had piciiired him as tall, bony and cadaverous. All the engravings and photographs given to the public make these characteristics more prominent than his real appearance j justifies. His height is a little, if any, above the average. His face is well shaped, witli regular features, his nose being nei ther so prominent nor so emphasized a Roman as is usually conveyed by bis pho tographs. The lower part of his face is small, not indicating the pushing, aggres sive, or bull like qualities often noticeable in the contestants of the political arena, but on the contrary, indicating a delicate organization, an amiable disposition and general culture. It is not a tace expres sive of genius or greatness. His eves are blue, and, notwithstanding that the left eye is defective and almost visionlesa, add to the mildness of his face. His hair is quite gray, as are his thin whiskers and beard, and his moustache, which is ex ceedingly short," is almost white. The tones of his voice are pleasant, and his speech is deliberate and measured a quality seldom possessed by one who is not a natural or trained orator. In some important respects, especially in the tones of his voice and his wanner of speech, he is almost a counterpart of Judge Leavitt, of this city, fave thnt he is fully ten years younger than the judge.. Mr. Davis s manner is exceedingly quiet and unobtrusive. He does not apuear to seek notoriety, but rather to avoid Tt, and the attentions paid him were received in as undemonstrative a way as they might be were he simply a well-bred country gentleman, instead of having been the political head and front of the most memorable civil convulsion the world has yet witnessed. He is a man whom ac cident has forced into a position of facti tious prominence. The quality that makes a leader among men, s-ometimes, called 'personality," "individuality." "charac ter" that somothing which impresses the mind into the mood of his mind and carries vou along with him this Mr. Davis does not possess. Mr. Davis's health has greatlv improved since his release from confinement. His friends who saw him during the troubled and anxious times of 1862, 1863 and 18G4 expressed their surprise and gratification at the marked improvement in his appearance and general health. MR. DAVIS AND TI1B ASSASSINATION FLOT. The four days' travel on board the Great Republic gave me the opportunity ot inquiring of Mr. Davis almut certain matters connected with the rebellion or which the true hfatoTy has yet be writ ten, and not least among them his alleged complicity in the plot tor assassinate Presi dent .Lincoln. Mr. Ltevisaoxt'-tnat, owing to the closeness of his "confinement at 'ortress Monroe, and his subsequent travels, he had not even read what, bad been alleged against him.

His reception in Scotland be spoke of aa' particularly cor dial, and his visits to different: points of interest there as affording him the greatest gratification. CThe account of his visit to the Giant's Causeway, Staffs, and more especially that to the Island oflona, he narrated with much enthusiasm. Iona -a little rocky island which lies a few miles offthe west coast of Scotland, noted for its curious basaltic columns and cathedral like caverns, but now desolate and ba rren he pictured as it once existed, the seat of learning and piety; and the point whence Christianity isQaid to have spread over the whole of Great Britain. He visited the mementoes of its past glory, itw-uined monasteries, crosses, and the tombs 'ot saints and ancient kings, and spoke with intellectual reverence of the pleasure it afforded him to stand beside the graves of Duncan and.Macheth. "' MR. DAVIS'g FUTURE. I understood it to be Mr. Davis's inten tion m due time to give to the world his version ot the political aBairs in which he so prominently figured. He will employ a phonographic amanuensis to facilitate his labor, and as he has already accumu- ated a goodly store ot materials, its pub lication may not be long delayed. Mr. Davi3 is blamed for many things respect ing which it will be interesting to hear him in his own defense. I know he is censured by many in the South for the prolongation of the war. I have again t again heard it said by southerners that, after the battle of Gettysburg, Gen eral Lee urged measures of compromise to the end of obtaining peace,' which Mr. Davis persistently opposed. The family of Mr. Davis is still in England.. Of his own future he did not speak positively. His trends b lieve that the United State will be his future home, and that he will not return to Europe, save to bring home Mrs. Davis and his children. Hydrophobia Another Terri ble Case in Central Kentucky. Our city on Thursday was the scene of one of those heart-rending occurrences, a death bv hydrophobia. The victim of the tearful malady was a young man by the name of John Alexander, son of Mr. J. W. Alexander, who formerly kept a confectionery on Limestone street between Maui and Short. The particulars of the sad case are most distressing. The young man had been bitten by a rabid dog as long ago as the night of the 20th of last August. 'While walking along Third street a dog ran out of an alley, and, without even a premonitory bark, silently but fiercely seized him by the calf ot the leg, biting clear through the boot. Mr. Alexander succeeded in kicking him off. but he came at him again, and bit his hand, the teeth meeting through it. He did not know at the time that the dog was mad. He sought professional advice, but was assured by the physician that he was in no danger. The scratches and wounds healed quick ly, and he thought no more about the matter until last Tuesday night, when, after being initinted a member of the Ashland Lodge of Good Templars, he ex perienced, on taking a drink ot water, a most singular and unpleasant feeling in his throat, but he soon cot over it. He was troubled with nothing more unpleas ant until Wednesday afternoon at about 5 o'clock, when, on again attempting to take a glass ot water, he found that he could not drink. He then immediately suspected the cause of his sickness, and determined to tully test it. lie tried to force water into his mouth with a. spoon, but his arm gave a spasmodic jerk, send ing the spoon flying through the air, and he fell back unnerved and wild and sick, both from the effects of the malady and the horrilile certainty of his rapidly ap proaching fate. He was confined to this bed all Wednes day night. On Thursday morning he got rapidly worse, and continued to suffer most terribly till the time of his death. The agony he endured uo words can de scribe ; and the physicians attending him said his were the most, fearful sufferings they had ever witnessed. He bowled, and snarled, and barked, like a dog. He scratched and clawed at the bed-clothing until it was almost torn to shreds. Spasms and convulsions succeeded each other, racking his tortured body and causing him to foam at the mouth like a wild and rabid animal ; and in his frenzy the veins would swell like they would burst, and he wou'd narK and cougn as tuougn bis ungs would be forced up, and blood would gosh in streams from his mouth and nstnls. The bed on which he was held down by strong men was saturated through and through with the crimson stream. Strange to any, he was conscious nearly the entire time, and, devoted and self sacrificing, he firmly insisted that none oi his agonized and weeping relatives should be allowed to come near him, as he was afraid he might injure them. - His father, who bad been absent, arrived a little while before his death, but on being told that he had come, he exclaimed "Don't let him see me." At about 2 o'clock his suffering became even more intensified, and he screamed and shrieked "Water 1 water! force it down me I - Oh Death I hurry, hurry." His attendant physicians, who had done all in their power to alleviate his suffer ings again administered chloroform most copiously, and its soothing and pain deadening effects came with thrice blessed f tower, breaking the force of the last iear ul moments of snBering, and the unfor tunate victim of that most horrible of all maladies, hydrophobia, escaped from his tortures at a quarter-past 3 o'clock 1 hurs day afternoon. Mr. Alexander was only nineteen years old, had lately joined the Baptist Church, and waa known as a most excellent and industrious young man. He- frequently pointed his finger heavenward juBt before he died, and declared bis desire to be at rest. His invalid mother and all his stricken family have the lively sympathies ot the whole community. Small Beginnings.

He served in the old French war; was "with Rogers in his campaign up about Lake George and Champlain, and, on his re turn, recollects seeing Governor Shirley and his secretary, William Alexander, near Albany. He was also out in the Rev olutionary war, and his recollections are quite distinct as far back as that. He speaks of Colonel Aaron Burr as ' being a young, smart officer about New York ; also of seeing Washington and Lafayette, and especiaiy recollects Colonel Alexander Hamilton as one of Washington's aids, and that he ued occasionally to bring or ders to the officer in command. He lias nsed to'iacco from his youth, and has probably chewed and smoked more than a ton in his lifetime. Franklin (N. H.) Union. Another Tragedy in Tennessee Six Persons Killed. Memphis, Tenbt., Nov. 54. A party of masked men went to the plantation of William Jones, near Tipton ville, Tenn., Sunday, for the purpose of disarming Jones's negroe. Jones, being forewarned, fired on the party, killing one and mortally wounding two. The maskers retreated. The officers ot the law next day arrested Jones and six negroes, and Jones was taken to the river and placed on the steamer for Louisville. The ne groes, while en route for Troy, were captur ed by a party, and five of them shot. The sixth was spared. The excitement in Tipton is intense, and further bloodshed is apprehended. Clover is the cheapest and best manure that can be had. Nothing pays better than a field ot clover ploughed under. It enriches the soil quicker than barnyard manure, and puts it in better condition. To plough it down well, if it stands thick and high, each morning a roller should be drawn over as much as can lie ploughed in a day, and a weight should be fastened to the point of the plough-beam to drag it into the furrow. In this way it can be completely covered. Clover contains all the elements needed to enrich the soil for all kinds of grain, and in larger quanti ties than other manures. Experimental Farm Journal.
