Ho had suffered for some time from a malignant carbuncle; but the immediate cause of Judge Davis's death was Bright's disease of the kidneys, aggravated by a weakened condition of the system-dating from' the time when he became afflicted with the carbuncle. His last hours were calm and peaceful. Davis aw not sane a very active part 09 S debate!', but was vigl- Jant \ in watching legislation. He endeavored: to secure a reorganization of thr- federal judiciary, and his plan is still being cdnsiderW»' TheSenatbr was a man of strik- •iig physique,-beta* tall of stature, large frame and very corpulent.

After-hloiriarriags the ex-Senator and brldo traveled extensively, visiting Europe and tbe Orieut. Judge Davis, as a jurlspiudeht, war well read and scholarly with.a wide grasp of legal princir ,. i and a keen, loglcal,judicialpoworofstat,mt •>& As ftiSenator he showed the same tiv its. ver- sbnally.'he was a man of attrac jive disposi- tion, an excellent conversationa'.ist.a dry wit, and; like most Western lawyers of promi- nence, an excellent story telle?. • •Messages of condolence were received ar Bloomington f roni ex-ProsWent Arthur.SeD • ators Sherman, Edmunds and Logan, o.<- Senator Conklihg, Attorney General t/arland arid others, all speaking in the highest terms of theiabiudy and Iionesty of the;dead jurist. David'Davis, formerly au Associate Jus- tice of the United States Supreme Court,and aSenator from Illinois, was- a native of Maryland. He was born in 1815, and at tho date of his death was in the soventy-second year of his age. His father was a wealthy farmer. Mr. Davis received an, academical education, and 'graduated from ithe well- known EpiscbpaFcollege of Kenydn. He then studied, law, and after ,Ids admission, to tbe bar, moved to Elobimngtbn, lU,, whereSechaj'ever 1 siace.jres'idcd. Mr; JDavis entere4^ntprac^c4,0ndaarljr obtained, for to&i^m^&fo^W^Mf&tfi&aZ mcctisA. He devoted himself very largely t0irenl:os- tate law, in which he wasalways estieenied.a great authority. Like most young and ca- pable attorneys q£ She period and region, he soon entered on public life. He identified himself with' the Whig party, and served several terms in the State Leg- islature. He was an early friend and associate 1 of Mr. Lincoln. Mr. Davis was elected' $b the State Constitutional Conven- tion of 1847,and theroin held a.leading place. Shortly after, he was, elected Di6tricj Judge and retired from active-politics, though dur- ing the early years of the Republican organization lie Became identified there- with. Judge Davis was a (|ood busi- ness man, and from his early settlement at Bloomington became a large owner of land. His real possessions have bean estimated at 800,01)0 acres. Ho owned a considerable amount of property in the en- terprising city where ho lived and in Chi- cago. He was always known as apublic- sniritod citizen; 'as well as a man of kindly disposition. •• uneofMr. Lincoln's-earlier appointments was of Judge Davis, who, in 1803, was nom- inated' and continued as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court Justice Davis served fourteen years, or until 1876, when he re- signed his seat on the bench to take the posi- tion of Senator from Illinois in the United States Senate, He was elected as an Inde- pendent through the votes of the Dem- ocrats and a number 6£ anti-Logan Republi- cans. In 1873: Judge Davis was nominated at Columbus as the Greenback Labor Reform, candidate for President. It will be remem- bered that though Judge Davis had expressed decided Greenback views, be never definitely accepted or declined the nomination tendered him. On March 4,1883, Judge Davis was suc- ceeded in the Sonate by ox-Governor Shelby W. Cullom. Judge Davis's appearance in the Senate has been thus described: He weighs about 270 pounds. He usually walks to and from the Capitol, and moves around the Senate chamber like an over- grown schoolboy. He has a Roman cast of features. His eyes are blue, and are shaded by bushy iron-grey evebrows. His cheeks are fringed with gray whiskers, and his lip is clean shaven. His head is thatched with straight gray hair. He smoke3 a meerschaum pipe with a long cherry stem aud an amber mouthpiece. He is com-teou; in manner and a genial conversationalist. No inan is surrounded by more attached friends. He is plainly dressed, and has the appearance of a well-to-do farmer. His favorite novel is \David Copperfleld,\ though he has a great fondness for Thackeray and Walter Scott. He is not a church member, but he usually attends Presbyterian services. Asa United States Senator hisposition was an anomaly. During a portion of his term he held the balance of power. Ho wa? elected President pro torn of the Senate, and served as such for about four voara. Mr. EX&E.» FRINGES. Driving the Heads of Royalist Fam- ilies From France. The French Legislature having passed a bill expelling from the-country all the heads, of the families that bad once ruled in France, the Government has issued a decree to that effect. The- Gomte do Paris, who is. chief among these exiled Royalist Princes, received \many visits of condolence on the , 23d, the day that the decree was issued. One thousand persons-called at his chateau during the day and inscribed their names in a special book. The Gfemtbde Paris shook hands with each one ana briefly expressed bis thanks. After issuing a manifesto rrotesting against his expulsion, he took his family to England. Prince Victor and fifteen of his most prom- inent adherents, including tho Marquis of Volette and Baron Hausmann, went to Brus- sels. The train bearing the party loft the station at Paris amid cries of \Vive l'Em- I iereur,!-\ \Au revoirl\ and shouts of \Vive a Republiqiie.\ There was some hissing. Several persons were arrested. The Royalist press pronounces the passage of the Expulsion ibill the forerunner of the downfall of the Republic. The Moderate Republican papers of France generally crit- icise.the measure as unjust. The Opportunist journals urge the Government to discard the demands of the Irreconcilablcs and Radicals, and they denraud afu'mer'Republiean-Boliey; The reasons that influenced M. de Freyci- net, the French-Premier, in bringing the Ex- pulsion bill.njaybe, stated in the Premier's own words. In a recent-speech in the Cham- ber of - Iteputios tho =* eobteudad: *that *Bij fWnces;, whether they intended it or not, By the veryfaotihatthey represented ah 'ex- ceptional position, - impersonated d princi- ple of Government. They held' out the living promise of a Government, different from that existing, and tended to weaken and discredit it. No Government,' he said, could ever tolerate such astate of things. He. considered that the danger to the'Republic had been increased after the death of the Prince Imperial and of the Count de Cham- bord, because the issue had thereafter become concentrated in the Princes of Orleans. These, he said, had not, like the Count de Chambord, had the nobleness to keep out of. France. Since 1883; be said, the Gov- ernment and the Republican party had folt all the gravity of the danger brought about by their presence. He thus, con- cluded: \As -for the Pretender Princes, there must be action against them because they keep up the idea that there exists a Court alongside the Republic— a second government waiting to take its ? lace. The idea is especially diffused abroad, am not afraid of the material but only oi the moral effect of this occult government.\ m Ws NUMMARY Eastern and Middle States.

The body was. put in a coffin, where it remained for twenty hours, awaiting the arrival of relatives to attand the funeral. At midnight Thursday the watchers who surrounded the cofHn were startled by a deep groan emanating j-rom it, and all but one, a 'ermai by the mine of Wabbeking, rushed from the room. Wabbe- king remained, and, as the groans con- tinued, he raised the cofliu l:d and saw that Daniels was alive. Seizing th-i body 'ie placed it upright. Afew spasmodic gasps, a shudder, una: the corpse spoke. The relatives returned to find the man sitting in a chair and conversing with reasonable str gtb.

He heard the sobs of his relatives when he was pronounced dead by the doctors, and noticed tho preparations for the funeral. He is about eighty years of age.
