THE LATE JEFFERSON DAVIS. Somo of the pooplo of the North arc h.iving spasms on account of receptions ;hat arc being tendered to Jefferson Da ris in several southern cities. At Mont gomery, at Atlanta, at Macon and Sa ratinah, the people havo turned out by :ho tens of thousands to hear him Ipcak, havo strewn roses in his path, ind gushed over him as only warm hearted Southerners could gush. When ;hcy havo cheered, they havo used the 'rebol yell," that was so familiar a icoro of years ago, and which meant auslncss, as all boys in blue know so well. Tlio people at tho North, who iefcated theso people on tho fields of batllo when they woro armed and dis :iplincd, do not need to bo especially llarmod now, when tho defeated ro unarmed and are engaged in jrccting tombstones to their dead. Mr. Davis' business at Montgomery was to dedicato n monument to confederate lead, and Atlanta to unveil a statuo to lien Hill. In speaking on tho subject :t was impossiblo to refrain from allud ing to tho services of tho deceased frionds, but tho speeches contained aotlilng particular that tho most loyal (nan would not havo uttered under tho sircumslauces. Davis admits that all pras lost, except tho honor of tho Con federates, ami that ho is glad tlioy are it peace with all the world. Wo can not prevent expressions of lovo on tho part of tho living, for tho Confederate icad, and who wants to? Nobody but Uio bitterest parsan who wants to make political capital out of tho erec tion of tombstones, Davis has, as one Confederate expressed it. had to shoul der tho sins of tho wliolo South since Iho war. Ho has retired to a farm, and boro up bravely. Not being crushed, ho has occasionally said something that woro bettor unsaid, but what public man lias not done soP And now that ho is on tho brink of tho grave, and must soon pass away, it warms his heart to meet tho men who suffered with him for many years, and all tho gush doos him good, and does no 0110 harm. When ho comes to die, ho will havo as big a funeral as any man in Iho South ever had, but it will not bo nee ssary to call out tho militia. Tho mourners for tho bravo old man, who fought his men longer than ho ought, will return from Ids grave, loyal lo tho Union, and go about their business. Those who havo traveled through tho South lato years, with no bitterness in their hearts, havo been proud of (lie southern people, for their loyalty and respect for their dead soldiers. Tho writer has seen a loyal Union soldier, at Augusta, Ha., stand beside tho Confedeiato mon ument on the main street, and uncover his head and look with sorrow, not un tningled witit pride, at ttio grand mar ble shaft, witli tho sculptured wide awako boys in gray, standing at "at tention." You cannot help feeling tho deepest respect for a people who were reduced to poverty, but havo rallied, and nro enabled to pay such homage lo thoir dead. All through tho South there are monuments to their boys. Perhaps if our boys hail been defeated, wo should havo" had as many mon uments to thorn as the Southern people have. Milwaukee, or Chicago, or al most any city of over a hundred thou sand people in the North, havo wealth that makes the wealth of Southern cities seem iiiHignitieant, but where are tho monuments to tho soldiers that havo saved these cities? In tho South there Is scarcely a city of twenty thou sand Inhabitants but has a monument to its dead but defeated boys in gray, hi tho North the monuments to tho successful soldiers in blue can be counted, almost, on tho lingers. Let each side havo tho privilege of burying Its dead in peace, and meeting monuments as much as thoy please, and above all do not kick if tho boys who walked homo without any laurel wreatli of victory on their brows get together occasion ally to talk over tho times that tried their souls, and paint a town or two pretty red. Had there been ten thou sand union soiiuers ai iwoiugoineiy and Atlanta, to mix up with tho Con federates and shako hands, the old time enemies would havo locked arms, and done a double act of painting tho towns, and when tho monuments were unveiled, tho Union boys would linvo uncovered their heads tho samo as tho southerners, and shown re spect to as bravo an enemy as ov er Hied a gun. There is somothing somewhere about "nicking tho meat out of your bono eye before you roinovo tho boat from your mother-in-law's yc," which poople would do well to practice Tho constitution of tho United States grants to every man tho privilege of having a high old time, and yelling tho top of his head off, if ho wants to. nnd wiioro is there any law to prevent n lato Confederate soldior from shaking hands with his comrades, or his leader, or everlastingly whooping it up, ono day In twenty'yearsP There was a re union of Union soldiers at Chattanooga ti few years ago, and the confederate survivors in that part of our glorious country heard of it, and they got to gether and entertained tho blue follows, and escorted them, and drank with them, and made them so happy and so glad that they wished it might oeour again. Tho next time wo hear of a confederate reunion, lot's get up a crowd of boys In blue and go there and make them think they aro "took." The Sun would like to live long enough to see a reunion of about half a million bo)s in blue and gray, all mixed up so you couldn't toll t'other from which. Spoakiiig of tho complaints uliont bringing Jef ferson Davis from his retirement, a prominent Georgian Mild: "This doos not mean anv diloaltv. 1 will wajror that if uuything occurred to make it necessary for the government to call out troops, that (ieorgia would iuniii.li more men for tho Union ariu than auv northern Mate of her population. ' And that Is about the bx of it: Now lot us quit howling about poor old Jeff Duvl. Ho has had hupplm enough tin not upon hint to iimko up nr twenty warn of Isolation, and to htt It (111 'I long us ho can )iuiljy live. nun. SWINDLING THE GOVERNMENT How Cnncclcd Stnmps nro Clcnncu nnd Used n Second Time. "Tho most troublesome oflcndcrs against government laws are tho ex perts who use canceled postage-stamps," said a poslollico official tho other day. "They havo a system of washing out the cancellation marks that is so suc cessful as to make detection almost Im possible. In tho offices of large cities like New York and Chicago, where so many letters aro handled daily, and whero rapidity is tho most desirable feature, it is impossible for the men who cancel stamps to examine each one carefully. Then, loo, a great deal of tho work is done by gas-light, and this is a point which tends to aid tho con spirator against the government's in come. "Anyone who lias seen a postofiico employe in tho New York oillco grab a bundle of letters and cancel tho stamps with lightning-like rapidity can readily see how impossible it is for him to de tect had stamps unless they aro partic ularly bad. The men engaged in tho business of using canceled stamps aro extremely clever. They havo an arid in which they wash the stamps. Tho aeiil acts upon (he cancellation marks, and not ujioii tho colors of tho stamp. In this way a stamp that has once been used is relieved almost entirely of its black marks. If any black remains af ter tho washing process, too operator takes a sharp knife, which he has made for the purpose, and deftly serai dies Hie stamp until the remaining black marks aro almost, if not entirely, re moved. This can bo done readily when tho marks aro upon the bald head or faco of the historic personage whose vignetto adorns the stamp, as this por tion is white; and upon a whito space the stamp can be scratched until it is nearly through without detection. "Another clever trick that is em ployed is the cutting of stamps. Ofton in the hurry of postollice work tho cancellation-mark docs not cover tho stamp, but falls "only upon one corner, the rest going upon the envelope. The operator takes a stamp that has a black mark, say upon the left-hand lower corner, ilo carefully cuts a square piece out of that corner, making it largo enough to cut away all of tho canceled portion. Ho then secures a stamp on which the cancellation mark has fallen in some other corner. Ho carefully cuts out tho same-sized square from tlio lower left-hand corner of this stamp, and joining it with the lirst stamp ho has a whole stamp upon which there aro no cancellation marks. Those stamps aro used upon packages which aro tied with a string, and the string is ingeniously placed over the cut stamps. "Tako an' package of a dozen let ters and you will see how easy it is to find stamns for this business." As ho spoke tho official drew from his pocket a bundle of half a dozen letters. Upon tlio lirst letter tlio cancellation mark was only upon the lower right corner of tlio stump. I ho second was can celed completely, and the third was marked only upon tlio upper left-hand corner. So a combination could have been easily mado with tlio stamps upon the lirst and third letters. "Many of theso operators," continued (he otlieial. "crew expert in tlio work. Thoy have clever tools and the right kind of mucilage, and some go even so far as lo have coloring processes for touehinir up a Carlield black eye or a Washington soiletl cheek. What do they do with tho worked-ovor stamps? Thoy do not sell them, as many s)- doso. and that fact renders detection more dilllcult. When a man becomes successful in working over canceled staiiuw lie endeavors to got into somo business which will require the sending and receipt of many registered letters nnd packages. The most popular scheme is to go into tho cheap jewelry and fanov-trick business. 1 lie operator lays in a stock of tlio cheapest kind of lowelrv and advertises thoroughly throuirli tho country, especially in rural districts. A gold watch with chain and charm for i?t.iO is a bait that catches a great many green speculators, and as thov are instructed to send remittances by registered let tor, the operator receivos a number of fi and 10-cont stamps. These stamps he operates on, and when ho returns the owolr.v he pays tno pes iumi in wliolo or in part with canceled Mumps, lie makes 100 or -'00 per cent on the jewelry, and does a thriving business in illegal stamps at the same time. "Ah, yes, there nro a great many in the business, and their success is won derful. All that wo can do is to keep on tlio lookout and catch one of them when we can. We get an idea that a man is doing crooked work, and then watch him. When wo once get an idea it does not take us long to ascertain tlio truth. Whenever the person prosonta a package for registration wo havo it held for inspection, and if there aro can celed stamp upon it we are pretty sure to tind them. Often tho bad stamps aro detected before thov roach the can cellation dorks. When they aro being taken from the receiving-baskets they aro sometimes detected. There is now awaiting tho action of the grand jury a man who is hold for doing a rushing business In canceled stamps from his store on llroadway. Ho followed tho usual plan." New York Star.

IrudiuH Ttmo, An Klcviitlng Topic. The elevator is a movable stalrwaj. sort of a shorthand method of getting y the top of a building. I lie elevator .? caliod a lift in hnglnnd. Ihero are our or live lifts in tlio British Inlands. I'ho elevator is kept as a sort of nie- hanical curiosity, and no reputable rcntleinan ever trusts his precious life o it. I am only personally acquainted vith two lifts in London. Ono is a reat, ponderous affair that looks like v section ot an annoy, ami runs 10 mo ifth storv of a big hotel. It is the most leliberate elevator I ever had the plcas .iro of riding in. Heavy iron doors, ike those of a prison, bar the entrance it each story. There is no electric bell o ring to let the elevator man Know 7oit want it. and the elevator comes up md goes down just when it gets ready. t a person nas pieniy oi nine no lanes his elevator, but if he is in a hurry ho .valks up. It starts with a rumbling lhakc, as if all that part of the building vas experiencing an earthquake, and lien goes slowly up irom noor to noor. Whv don I von have a siocping-car ittached to this elevator?" 1 said to tho sum who ran it.

The Joors at each lloor are open and you top on a shelf, and when you are car led to the lloor that you want you step jff again. Nobody runs tho elevator, md the doors are always open. You can stand on the shelf and go clear up to ;hc roof, over the upper drum, and go Jown to the cellar on the other side. md up if you want to. 1 Ins is one of ho places in England wnere iioeriy ami leath go hand in hand.

Ono of tho strangest; elevators, or rather an elevator in the strangest place, is in tlio Cathedral tower -it Montreal. I'hoy charge you a quarter to go up on t and lake you down tree. They uso the lift sparingly on the rontineut of Europe. Hotels that do- -,iro American i patronage generally have j m "ascensior. ,' as J think they call it. 1 I stayed at a hotel in Home where they lad oneot these modern improvements. Due day 1 rapped at tho door of it and .vanled to go up to my room. Tho un expected desiro on my part caused a treat commotion in mo noioi. oome- pody told tho clerk and the clerk told .he bookkeeper and the bookkeeper lent a messenger in hot hasto for the 'jroprictor. Tho proprietor was much tgilnted. Ho finally sent somebody or the lift engineer and when that as onished individual came ho tried a ouiieli of keys on tho door and linally ipened it. Hy this time a large crowd liad collected, lie goi in ami i goi, in ivith him. My bravery was evidently rory much admired. There was almost cheer irom the crowd as wo went up. I'lie elevator had a halting, jerkin. jncertain motion about it. it stuck ivith the top part of it just above the 3rst lloor door and positively, lirinly, efiised to go either up or down. Those jutside opened the door and by climb ng on the back of Iho engineer and ivith some assistance from those on the irst lloor I crawled out. The engineer .vas rescued sometime afterwards and helievo tho elevator is there still. IVhen I came to pay my bill there ap peared the following item : "Ono as :ension, fifty centimes." It may not bo generally known that .ho introduction of the elevator has hanged the whole appearance of the 2iy of New York and almost every jther American city. It has added liany stories to the buildings that havo seen recently erected until now a visi or looking at New York from the out lide sees Trinity Church steeple almost liddenbv the tremendous bight of the lurrounding buildings. 1 was very iiueli impressed some years ago in joining fresh from tho country Town of London to see the rush of business done oy tho elevators in a new building jvliieh had been erected in my ab-euee. our elevators ran side by side. The .wo outside ones seemedto be .-ort of through expresses. Tho two inside )nes stopped at all way stations and lould bo (lagged at crosVmgs.

The Free Press office n Detroit hud an energetic and rapid jlevator, after the approved Amer ean fashion.

It seems a very easy thing to run an elevator, but 1 found tho other lav that it is not every idiot who can spend e one of them in a manner that ihrowb' distinction and luster on his ef forts. Hot ween tho hours of 1-' and 1 Tin Free Press elevator rests from its labors, down in the cellar. Now, if ,hero is anvthing that 1 mortally hate it is to climb the four nights of stairs to reach the editorial rooms. Ono day last week I came in at tho time the (ite rator was taking its noonday rest. 1 Jidn't want to wait until 1 o'clock, and I didn't want to climb tlioso stairs, so 1 went down cellar andentered the eleva tor. This is prohibited, but 1 didn't think anvouo would Iind it out. The I elect rie light of the elevator was out ' and the movable room was in darkness.

Another inch would have done it and 1 should now have been lloating over tho City of Detroit in a runaway-elevator instead of writing this article. 1 started down again and brought up once moro in tlio cellar. Then 1 got out anil walked up stairs. It requires judgment as well as muscle to run an elevator. Luke Sharp, in Detroit Free Press. Horace Taylor's Monkey. Most of the readers of tho Sun havo heard of Horace A. Taylor of Hudson, Wisconsin, who was for somo years con sul at Marsailles, France. When Mr. Taylor established tho precedent of resigning a foreign position, and retur ned to his native laud with his family, he brought with him a small monkey which had been purchased in France, an affectionate little thing about as largc as a small rag baby. It was placed in a basket after arriving in New York, and the family came through in a Pullman sleeper. There being rules against the transportation of live animals on Pull man ears, Mr. Taylor's people kept jini under the seat in a small basket. The lirst night the porter suspected that there was something wrong in tho bas ket. On previous occasions lie had found that travelers had smuggled dogs under the seat, and by making a fusslibout it he usually got a fee fromtho owner of tho dog. It occurred to him to investi gate tiic basket. He took hold of it, raised tho cover and somothing jumped out. Tho colored man dropped the banket and went hak to his place with visions of a small child's face Hying about the ear. lie had seen tlio face of tlio monkey in tho dim light, and he thought that some orphan asylum had lost a promising member, The monkoy ran through the car, attempting lo iind his friend. Mr. Taylor heard the mon key squeal and was satislied that it had escaped, so he got up, nnd attired in his night cap, searched for tho monkey. There was a fat man in a brcth adjoining Mr. Taylor's, who had been snoring in a loud tone of voice, and tho snore sud- donly ceased. Mr. Taylor thought that it might be possible that the mousey was tTio cause of tho pause.and he drew the curtains of tho birth aside and look ed in. The monkey was sitting on the breast of the fat man, and tho eyes of the fat man were open and sticking out far enough to hang a hat on. liis laco was red and pale by turns, and he was evidently considi rably worked up. Mr, Tavlor said: "Partner, I guess I will take this monkey away." The man loo ked at Mr. Taylor and said, "Doctor, 1 am satislied that you mean kindly, you are traing to make nio believe that there is a monkey here; but 1 have got them, and I know it. Now, it there is anything in your medicine case, give it tome, but don't weste time trying lo tell me that there is a monkey here. Air Tavlor tried to reassure him, and tell him that he need not be alarmed about his condition, and ho reached up to tako tho monkey oil. I ho fat man reached up and said, "Doc, just give mo a little whisky and it will be all right." Then, Mr. Taylor, who I'd tsorry for the man. put tho monkey back in its basket, opened his valise and brought out a bottle of brandv, such as all republicans-bring from France on their way home, and told the victim tnat ne would feel better after taking it. The man drank the brandy, rolled over and went to sleep, nothing further was said about the nionkev. ami to this day that tat man thinks that he had the narrowest escape froiniini ianis a man ever had in the world. Peck's Sun. Dream Kcproseiitntious. Wundt regards most of dream repre sentations a really representations, since they emanate from senaorial im pressions, which, though weak, con tinue during sleep. An inconvenient position during sleep causes the re pre sentation of painful work, perilous ascent of a mountain, etc. A slight intercostal pain becomes the point of an enemy's dagger or tho bite of an eti raged dog. Dilliculty in respiration is fearful agony caused by nightmare, tlio nirhtniaro seeming to bo a woiglit rolled upon tho chest or a horrible mon ster which threatens to stitlo tlio slecpor, An involuntary extension of the foot is a fall from tho dizzy height or a tower.

The sleeper sometimes dreams of hi appearing on the street or in society only half dressed; tlio innocent cause is found in some of the bedclothes having fallen off. An inconvenient position of the sleeper, a slight hindrance of resplr atiou or interference with the action of the heart niav be the caii-o of dreams where one seeks an object without being able to hud It or has forgotten some thine in starting upon a iournoy.
