The following anecdotc srelated of Hem
rY Clay, Illustrating the power of his elo.
Tence upon the minds of the Jury:
"Some years since an orphan girl OF
Cincinnati, applied to Mr.. Clay to advocate
her claim to very large amount of propet-
ty i'll that city. The title was an old one,
and as is usual in such cases, was strongly
opposed by those who had long held the
possession. During the address to the Jury
by the opposing counsel, Mr.. Clay was en-
gagged in deep thought upon his clients
case, well knowing that an immense effort
would be required to countcract the preiu-
dice which the iury,in common with others,
might have to her cause. After an argu,
ment upon the legal points involved in the
case, Mr. Clay commenced an appeal to tho
passions Of sympathy of the jury. He touch
cd upon the circumstances of the parties;
his client WAS poor orphan girl, and the
defendants were rich, and mostly able to
sustain defeat. Having enlarged upon his
topic, and others of similar nature, he
closed by the following tremendous and
thrilling appeal: "Gcntlemen of the Jury,
God Almighty by his just and sacred law,
and by the conscience within your breasts,
comes here into Court, and demands tho
protection of the orphans right ct the hands
of an impartial jury"
This appeal had its desired effect. The
Jury without leaving the box gave verdict
in the orphans favor, which at once raised
her from poverty to large fortune.--.N,

GALITzIN AND PETER THE GREAT.--In
1902, Peter the Great having made the sew.
eral Intellectual attempts on Noteburg, a
Swedish fortress, called Schlushe!burg, sent
Prince Galitzin, colonel of the guards, al
the head ola select crops, to take il by storm.
Tlle officer having, by means of RATS, Ian.
ded his soldiers close to the ratification
which advanced almost TO the edge of the
water. they were received with such intre.
Pdity by the garrison, and exposed to such
dreadful carnage, that Peter, conceived the
assault to beimpracticable, sent immediate
orders for the Russians toretire Prince Gal,
.itzin, however, refused to obey; "Tel nv
sovereign" said he, "that am no longer
his subject having thrown myself under the
protection OF n power superior to him.
Then turning to his troops, he animated
them by his voice and example, and leading
Them to the attack scaled the walls, and took
the fortress.
Peter was so struck with this exploit.
that upon his next interview with GaltiziD.
he said to him, ".Ask what you will, except
Moscow and Cutharine." The prince,
with mlgnanimity which reflect the high,
est honor upon his character, instantly re-,
quested the pardon of his ancient rival,
prince Repnin, who had been degraded, BY
Peter from the rank of Marshal to that Of
Il common sollier.
He obtained his request and with IL the
confidence of his sovereign, the esteem of
Prince Repnn, and the applause ofthe pub
lie. Few circumstances can give more
pleasure to generous mind than the con.
fsuch exalted traits of great
and noble spirit ;andour pleasure is heighten.
ed, when we behold the descendants of such
persons enjoying all the honors, as we'll as
virtues of their ancestors.
