X Derby, who ;h more direct' charge of this book, pos siblk than any one connected with thefirm. Ia response to an inquiry j nrAiilr VkA aaa. K TVAAOJJL VU? wwa TV vuam av umv, he replied : : "Well, the Appletons do not like to make promises, but I feel satisfi ed in eayiner that it will be ready in: e;de of ninety days. I have now the proof sheets of half the first volume in my desk here. I have just receiv ed a letter from Judge Tenny, who was sent down by the house to as sist Mr. Davis with the writing, . in which he says that he will forward, inside of ten days from .the date of writing', half the manuscript for the second volume, which is now ready, and is withheld simply tliat Mr. Da vis may make a slight correction in one of the chapters. He adds that the printers may be put to work on it at once, as the last half of the sec ond volume is about ready, and will be here before the printers will need it He writes that everything is now ready for the pushing forward of the work, and that the manuscript virtually prepared to the last chap ter, will come forward at once. "When was the contract with Mr. Davis for this work closed!" "i.but five years ago, Mr. Davis has proceeded in the preparation of this history with the utmost deliber ation. He has taken nothing for granted, but has examined into the smallest details and sifted the rec ords. He was ambitious, too, to give the work such scope as to make it comprehensive as well as thor ough. His labor has, therefore, been immense. Still he would have been ready long ago if he had been provided with prompt and skillful writers, who could have kept up with his dictation. He dictates slow iy al leitAeratelyrand will have no short hand writer. Since Judge Tenny was sent to him, nearly a year ago, tne work; nas gone ngnt. ahead. "Has the name of the book been agreed on yet ?" 'Yes. It will.be called "The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Govern ment" The name 'first determined on was "The History of the Confed erate War for Independence; its Cau63 and Results." You will see that title runs on the proof sheet here." And by the way," he said, as he leaned forward to get the bundle of sheets from his drawer, "you are the first journalist who has ever had a glimpse of these proofs. And it is a coincidence tnac uus History ana Bancoft's history of the 'Times of Washington, are being published si multaneously, and, ' holding up a batch of the iJancrof t s proofs, "that the title of the first chapter of Bran- croft's is headed "The Confederacy, meaning, of course, the first confed eration of the colonies. Ah! here are the Davis proofs." With this he held up a bundle ox sheets handsomely printed on heavy paper, in much the same style as, but clearer and heavier, than "bher- man s memories. J.ne introduc tion" to the book was short, cover ing nearly the first page and half the next, and it could be seen in the glance that the reporter got the ded ication contained m the intro duction. The title of the book which of course will be changed on the proof runs across the top of every page. "In what shape and at what price will the book be published?" "It will be issued in two volumes, about the size 'Appletons' Encyclo pcedia, and will be sold for $5 a vol ume. It will be sold entirely by supscription. There is already a large demand, one man in Missouri having already ordered 5,000 con ies. While of course the heaviest demand is from the South we find a very large demand throughout the North, and shall be disappointed if the sales do not reach 100,000 cop ies. The sales of "Seward's Jour ney Around the World" went up to to that point, and tha demand for this is as promising as that was. No expense has been spared to make this book worthy of the reputation it must have.'' "The terms upon which Mr. Da vis wrote the book are liberal ?" "It is sufficient to say that he will receive enough from the early sales to make him independent and easy foi the rest of his life. But the chief reward that he will have will, he the consciousness of having per formed a duty that weighed upon turn ever since the failure of the cause that he represented He de- of his government, to devote the re- mamder of his life to the prepara tion of a full and comprehensive his I tory of the struggle of the Southern 1 people and the causes that led to I it" x I 'Have you seen him since the completion of the work ?" Yes, I spent several days with I him at Beauvoir. last January, when J his labor was mainly over. I never ( saw a man that so sincerely rejoiced I in his work. ; He said that ha: had I made a history that would stand ail I the tests Q&tfeae: jBfttJ.

PAfX XA8TOB. My Wardens have entered a 1 com plaint. They say that they, have" a most painful duty- to otischarge, "on Sunday and other days of divine Ser vice. I added "if vou should ' be at church" (for my wardens, though pretty regular on .Sundays, are- ript addicted to week-daattendance, except on Christinas, anksgtying and1 days of that sort, when, they f not lose anyxning py giving an nour or so to prayer and praise.) "They both smiled sadly and went, pn. They say that to carry the ' alms : ba sins around, has a deleterious - effect on their religious condition. They notice the persons who generally give; and those who do not; . even how much this and that attendant usually puts in., f They toow, almost to a certainty, how many aead-lteads a pew has in it; and so they attribute much of their . lack of growth in grace to carry the basin. xear in basin. Year and year out, this deteriorating pro-' cess goes on, until, in a short timer they fear they will " have but l' little' piety left They have both serftte ly thought of retughing, if" ohfji; Jto save themselves from becoming epir itttaUy wrecked. . At the same. iiSae, they see that the matter would be HO better for their successors, than it has been for themselves.

In fine, the position of Warden is unspeakably trying,; made 1 worse-by the secrecy which the of fice enjoins upon those who hold - it I asked them if there could jTho no remedy found for this dktressing condition of affairs. - The' Junior Warden suggested that there be no more secret balloting, but that Every one attach his card to his csntribu tion. The Senior suggested that he be allowed to act as usher for, six months, and to. seat people in Church not according to .their past dress, but according to their past record at Offertory time. I told my j Wardens that my congregations . were? email enough now; and on the whole, , Jthat their office was not half so trying: as mine, having to present and. place the alms on the Holy Table. They never seemed to have ; thought of tnat, and agreed to continue in , of fice the rest of the year.-ZVtiay Church. How a Jean Kan got Seaten. Yesterday morning a poor man who had just arrived in Little Rock, and who didn't have enough money to buy a cheese sandwich at half price, borrowed a shovel, and stop ping in front of a wealthy man's house, shovelled the snow from the sidewalk. Then he rang the door bell. CoL Slippery, the owner of the mansion, came to the door, "If you please ?" said the poor man, " I have shovelled the snow from your sidewalk," "If I please?" "Yes, sir, if you please." "Well, what are you going to da about it t" "Being very hungry, I - thought that you would give me 25 cents." The 'CoL is the stingiest man in Arkansas, and the idea of surrendering 25 ' cents was a .desperate one. - "See here," said the Colonel, "I wanted that snow to stay where it was.

These terms General Grant . 1 eagerly agreed to and every officer 7 ,' of the army .of Northern Virginia came off the field of Appomattox ' with his sword and pistol buckled around him and his own private bag ,1 gage to boot j In addition to this , 5. every mounted officer . brought - f nis norse, or norses, u ne nad more than one horse with him. " General Lee once after the surrender indig nantly denied that he had ever offer ed General Grant his sword, adding that the only remark made about a sword during the interview with General Grant was Grant's apology for meeting him (General Lee) with out his sword on. - In a question of veracity between Lee and Grant we imagine the public, North as well as South, would not be long . in decid -ing in favor of the former.' , : 1 Crushed Truth la a Rising Attltale.
