MISS DAVIS IN SYRACUSE.
Reception of tho "Chlht or tlio Con
fcdorncy" lit n Stronghold of
tho Abolltlonlsta.
A pleasant sojourn was not assured
"Miss Winnio Davis in Syracuse until
within tho last two or three days, writes
n Syracuse correspondent of The tfew
iork Sun. Ordinarily tho guest of
Mrs. 1 ho mas Jmicry would bo guaran
teed such .1 show of courtesy as would
lcavo no doubt of our city s hospitality,
for thoro is no lady in Syracuse society
-who entertains more elegantly than the
daughter of tho lato Senator Dennis
McCartlry. The dinner parties at the
Jimory mansion in Last layotto street
arc famous for their excellence, and to
oc invited thoro is ono of tho tests of
position in society here. Nevertheless,
thcro was a fooling of resentment
abroad when it was lirst announced
that tho "Child of tho Confederacy" was
to make her debut in northern society
in Syracuse. No city in tho land was
heartier in its detestation of tho rebel
lion than litis. Soino of tho old feeling
has doubtless survived tho years that
liavo passed sinco the surrender of
Richmond. At least tho coming of Jef
ferson Davis1 daughter raised the ques
tion whethor it would bo Joyal to ac
cord her the welcome any other fair
and accomplished girl would receive,
from i. hospitable people. In tho social
gatherings antedating her arrival the
the sentiment was freely expressed that
it was not altogether proper for Mrs.
Unicry, cntronched.as sho is in society,
to ask her friends to receive Miss Davis.
Many hoped she would not come to
Syracuse
During tho past week the ladies of
tho city havo had an unusual number of
aitornoou teas, and at all of those
gaincrings tho question of accepting
juisa unvm certainty nas nau several
Taliant champions among now-mada
friends in Syracuse, and they havo
fought her battle for her boforo she
had an opportunity of doing it for her
self. A few ladios who havo mot her
liavo gone ball for her ability to mako
her own way, oncn tho field is open
Jt is duo to tho good honso of tho
city to say that tho prejudice against
lier lias been substantially overcomo
during tho past week, and that in case
Miss Davis decides to go out sho will
iiot want for invitations. Mrs. Emory
is still in mourning for hor futhor, and
therefore tho privilege of formally
introducing Miss Davis will bo denied
lier. Nevertheless, thoro aro enough
of Mrs. Emory's friends to make tho
linio Miss Davis is to spend in Syracuse
wholly pleasant.
Miss Davis has already been scon
driving with Mrs. Emory. Last night
alio accoptod tho favor of a box at tho
thoator wlioro Louis Janios was playing
in "Virginius." Sho attended in com
pany with Dr. Thomas Emory, Lieut.
William II. Emory of Itoslvn. L. 1..
I t . - .
nun nonius aiouariny. ino box was
tendered by tho tragedian's manager,
G. A. Mortimer, who was nn oilleor in
tho oonfedorato navy. Miss Davis thus
mado hor lirst public appearance hero.
Sho was the oynosuroof every lorgnotto
in tho thoator, but tho attention sho
received was not ollonsivo or bold. On
next Tuosday Miss Davis will accom
pany Miss Clara lioach, n local hollo, to
a claiming jiarty given by Mrs. Ellis In
lionor of tlio ooming out of her daugh
ter, a beautiful girl of 17. The invita
tion list has beon extended since it was
Tcnowu that Miss Davis was to bo a
guest: As most of tho beaux and belles
-will grace this occasion the 'Child of
tho Confederacy" will meet almost
everybody worth knowing In tho city,
nt least among the younger set.
Miss Davis lias boon not tv little norv
ous about tho reception she was to re
ceive in tho north. Tho invitation
which Bho linally iiecoptod had been
pressed upon Iter for throo years by
Mrs. Emory, with whoso father-in-law.
(Jon. Emory, rflursou Davis was on
tonus of closest intimacy when Mr.
Davis wns a sonator in Washington.
Hut thoro aro other ties of fi ieiuNhlp
to bind them. Tho families of (Jon.
IStnory and Jort'orson Davis wore very
closely knit in anto-bollnni days. Mrs.
Davis was tho godmother of several of
tho Emory children, and their roinom
branco of her is of a courtly old lady
of tho most lovable disposition.
Thomas Emory, at whoso homo Miss
Dnvls is now u guest, was in ltiolinioinl
when tho lirst gun was fired at Fort
Sumter. Thrilled with tho excitement
of tho moment ho was on his way to
tho recruiting oilico to oll'or Ids ser
vices as a common soldier, wheu accost
ed by tho wife of tho confederate presi
dent. Sho was driving by in hor car
riage and nailed her young friend from
tho door. When sho responded nnd
told her of his Intent ion, sho persuaded
him to postpono enlisting for a little
vrhilo, in crder that sho might see if
sho could not do hotter for him. Young
Kinory had not oven consulted his
parents. At her solicitation he put oil"
enlisting in the rebel amy, and in duo
time was appointed to a position in the
navy, iu which ho served with distlno
tlon. Miss Davis has been described ns n
beautiful woman. This lias led to
much disappointment In Syraeuso thus
far, for sho has boon seen only at the
dlsadvuutago of n street view, which is
anything but satisfying. She Is tall,
ami her gait is airy and graceful, with
something of the elastlo ty mado pop
ular by Ellon Terry. Hor complexion
Is almost colorlesn, and when tho face
is in repose unusually sad. Tho feat
ures aro nil htiong, save her nose,
which is just n trillu jilnchod. Sho has.
however, u More of lovellno.nj In her
uyes, which aro nf a ItnUroiu blank,
and brlllaut without being coquettish.

Character nnd Quantity.
C. S. GoAo, of this city, a woll-known
and highly-successful advertising agent,
in a work of "Information for Adver
tisers," referring to the circulation of
newspapers, says :
"The number of copies n paper
prints, although an important point, is
not the only ono by which to judoro of
its worth as an advertising medium.
Tho character, inllucnco and standing
of tho paper In :i community aro all
equally important benefactors in
determining its value as a medium by
which to commtitiicnto with the people
of tho section in which it circulates.
Experience teaches that careful oditor
ial guidanco and superlative care given
to statements in the news column much
more valuable than a paper reckless in
its assertions, and lavish iu its endorse
ments of anything nnd everything
under the sun.
Tho "inllucncc" of a newspaper, com
mercially considered, is as the inlliiciieo
of an individual. A man careless of
his statements is not considered cood
authority or a reliable soureo of infor
mation; so a newspaper with its edi
torial opinions at the beck and call of
any one with a bank account of sulli
ciont dimensions soon loses its weight
with readers, who otiickly discover its
unreliability anil are careless even of
statements printed iu the advertising
columns the advertising is then
about equally valuable as so many
hand-bills. The same rule applies to
papors depending upon sales cfl'eclcd
through making a snecialty of low sen
sations: such paners are bouirlit to
gratify curiosity, aro culled for their
particular attraction, then thrown away,
and a rcllablo newspaper is consulted
for tho news of tho day, and tlio
opinions ot the latter aro respected.
This respect is to a certain extent ex
tended to the advertising column, and
a siibstilo but iiilliicntial indorsement
is by tlio journal's character given to
statements oven though known to be
paid for and in an advertising depart
ment. For instnnco a complimentary
notico in a newspaper of known ability
and careful of its assertions, as all
auvcrtlsors won know, Is worth more
than the flippant statements of ono
whoso praiso is unlimited and wiio.se
unqualified editorial indorsement of
anybody or anything is obtainable for a
consideration.
Ono word from tho columns of tho
former will weigh a ton in the scales of
public judgement, where a similar state
ment from a less reliable paper is men
tall v alluded to as nothing but a paid
"puff."
Mr. Gosso cites several instances in
support of this, and among others says:
in tHis city, for example, tho Huston
Journal, with n circulation of about
00,000 probably reaches many who tako
no other paper, and many moro 'ct
who havo read that paper sineo thev
can remember and who considered its
teachings only a trillo less than infal
lible, hence its value as an advertising
medium is thereby enhanced.
Auverllsors sometimes foriret these
points when mnklng contracts, and the
success which this agoncy has mot with
both tor itself and Us patrons is no
.doubt largely attributed to the proper
consideration ol a newspaper s claims
as regards not only circulation but tho
character of its circulation and its
standing with tho people. Jloslon Journal.
Tho Water lien.
During the last day or two beforo tho
groat ovont comes off the birds aro

afterward the rock only appears for tho
matutinal crust, which ho carries along
with hi in. soaking it iu tho water as ho

iittlo chicks who have not yet quitted
their cradle. Those seven or eight
hairy little balls are eager, however, to
try tlio water, and ono by ono tliey
scramble out of tho nest, to which they
uovor return. There aro few prettier
sights in this hud orld than these tiny
creatures gathered round their mother,
when, having plucked a mouthful of
tho water-weed which they love, sho
holds It aloft over tho eager little heads.

Tho Crank of Crank..
From tlio I'iltflhtirg I'omraerelnl Giuctte.
"Of all cranks," said Patent Solici
tor Kces "tho patent crank is the
worst, ho is incurable. A quiet, Btaid
man, probably a hard-working farm
er, will go soberly along until some
day ho will discover some pressing ne
cessity. Then ho coes to work and
evolves something wild, visionary and
impracticable; he works on tho model
in fear and trembling lest it should be
seen, regards his neighbors with stispi
cion, grows nervous and never sleeps
until it is finished. Then off lie rushes
to a patent oflico to secure the benefit;
of his unparalleled invention. After
ho onco secures a patent, he is incura
ble, gets o,ut patents on overy possible
subject, and finally ruins himself with
out ever gotting a cent for his trouble,
More curioMS people come for patents
than can bo imagined. Ono day nn old
farmer camo into the oflico with a
Inrgo basket on his arm. He said,
'Whcro is the patent man?'
"I intimated that I was the individ
ual. Ilo looked atmestispiciously for
a moment and said: 'Young man,
you look powerfully youthful for a
patent lawyer. Do you understand
the business!' I informed him of my
ninny years experience. Ho then gob
up, closed the door, let down the cur
tain over tho window, and said: 'I
havo tho most wonderful inventioifof
the nineteenth century. It will brim:
down upon my head Uio blessings of
all tho people in tho United States
"Then lie opened tiie
out a largo roll of calico
slioos for his wife, a suit for his boy,
and there at the bottom of tho basket
lay a miniature churn. 'There it is,
young man!' I said there seemed to
bo no difference between it and any or
dinnry churn and washer. 'Now,
young man, you know what difficulty
it is to secure a good washer for clothes
I havo tried them all thero must
by sixteen or soventecn different ma
chines, ain't there? Well, tho cheap
est of them is about 1-1, and now by
a simple invention of mine, a person
is enabled to secure a churn, and for
the Blight sum of twenty-five cents
more, ho can havo a washer also. I
will sell tho Beat SlO.L'o.' 'Lot us see,'
I said. 'Thcro aro about 00,000,000
families in tho United States.every fam
ily will' want ono of your patents, and
probably want a new ono every three
years, so during the run of tho patent
.'10.000,000 of them will bo sold. They
will probably cost you twenty-five
cents.nnu so you will gain m ten years
a clear profit of $300,000,000. "Why,
you will bo tho richest man in tho
world.'
"Tho old man began to grow exited,
his hands trembled and his eyes grew
larger. iiOt. us seo tips wonoenui in
vention, I said. Ho took it out and
showed an ordinarj churn, with Iittlo
Knobs on the bottom ol tho dasher,
so that in eleaninj clothes theso Iittlo
knobs would rub against each other
and clean out tho dirt. 'Yes,' I said,
that is tiie grandest invention in tho
wor'd. You had better take it to
Borne lawyer who has more cxpertenro
than I, becauso I probably could not
do it justice' 'That's what I think
myself,' said tho old iarmcr, nnd ho
bundled it up and went out.
Then again I had a man come in
who liad put a sliding panel iu tho
head of a bed so that it was impos
sible for tho heads of tlio two sleepers
to touch. Ho said it would bo of
great service to nurses, as they could
lie with a sick man nnd not catch tho
disease from his breath. Also when a
man comes homo drunk ho could pull
out tho panel and his wife would not
snioll the liquor.
"In sending in an application for a
patent it is customary to describe the
evils proposed to bo remedied and
how tho invention will obviate them.
'Now, young man,' ho said, 'I want a
darn lino send-off for .this patent.
Mako it nice, I will not stand on mon
ey, only mako something lino.' 1 tried
onco and ho did not like it; again, and
e t ill it did not please him.
"Then I got mad and began in thi3
wise, 'When it may happen that soino
pestilential disease, soino contagious
affection to which tlio human race is
heir, may come like an unexpected
thing, striking down in tlio prime of
life tho noblest of our human kind in
sickness; and also sinco tlio days of

sent it on to ashington. Jn a low

preamble was too long nnd life too
bhortto bo able to peruse it; uudmore
tliau that, it would keep all the print
ers in aslimston setting up patent
notices if many inventors sent such
descriptions.
