In vain did the doctors strive to impress upon him that his health was improving. He steadily insisted that there was no improvement, but with Christian resignation he was content to accept whatever providence had in store for him. Only once did he waver in his belief that his case showed no improvement, and that was at an early hour yesterday morning, when he playfully remarked to Mr. Payne: “I am afraid thatI shall be compelled to agree with the doctors for once and admit that I am a little detter. All day long the favorable symptoms continued and late in the after- noon, as late as 4 0’clock, Mrs. Davis sent . — such a cheering message to Mrs. Stamps and Mr. and Mrs. Farrar that they decided for the first time since Mr. Davis has been taken III to attend the French opera. THE CHILL OF DEATH. At6o’clock last evening, without any as- signable cause, Mr. Davis was seized with a congestive chill which seemed to absolutely crush the vitality out of his already enfeebled body. So weak was Mr. Davis that the vio- lence of the assault soon subsided for lack of vitality upon which to prey. From that mo- ment to the moment of his death the history of his case was that of a gradual sinking. At7o’clock Mrs. Davis administered some medicine, but the ex-President declined to receive the whole dose. She urged upon him the necessity of taking the remainder, but putting it aside, with the gentlest of gest- ures, he whispered, Pray excuse me. These were his last words. Gradually he grew weaker and weaker, but never for an in- stant seemed to lose bis consciousness. Lying peacefully upon his bed and without a trace of pain in bis look he remained for hours. Silently clasping and tenderly caressing his wife’s hand, with undaunted Christian spirit he awaited the end. and reverence.’’ The House in Which Mr. Davis Died. NEw ORLEANS, La., Dec, 6.—The handsome residence of J. U. Payne, at the corner of First and Camp streets, is at present an ob- ect of interest to every friend of Mr. ——— avis, because it is in the pleasant chamber of this elegant home that the be — old Confederate chieftain passed away. This residence, built by Mr. Payne, is one of the most comfortable and interiorly artistic in all the city. It is of brown stone stucco, two stories high with broad verandas and set in lovely grounds, “where camelia bushes are spiked with b * and oranges hang in clus- ters on tree The house hee: a wide hall running es the center wi awing-rooms on one siae, lr on ae her and on the rear corner a and © * — 4 which the Southern — streams nearly — .* lay the patient and distinguished in- It is a wonderfillly pretty room, with a rioh- toned, Persian-hued carpet on the floor, shades and delicate lace curtains at the four ‘| windows, two fronting to the east and two to the south.

Ina comfortable home wrapper gray and black, this gentle ministrant was always at the invalid’s side, and if she left him for a moment be asked for her and was fretted or uneasy until she returned, ATTENTIONS PAID THE SUFFERER. Friends constantly sent beautiful flowers, of which Mr. Davis was very fond, but these were not allowed to remain inthe sick room for pny length of time. At the outset jellies, fruits and all manner of invalids’ delicacies were proffered, until Mrs. Davis was com- pelled to declinethem. The sick man’s food was only milk, ice, beef tea and rarely a broiled chop. Mr. Davis remained In bed al the time and was never left alone, — guarded lovingly by his wife and the capabi — quadroon hired nurse dia and Mrs. Dav own little brown-eyed maiden Betty, who — ar times was free to the sick room. But | talking was allowed, and newspapers, letter and telegrams were tabooed. On Wedn afternoon a reporter had a few moments’ con- -versation with Mrs. Davis. She was worn and worried with service at the sick bed, which she would not allow to any other, and her step was lagging as she came into the dining-room, She was very hopeful, however,’ of her eee . oS — xe ee ILY.
