Henry Clay and a National Bank.

How noble, how worthy Of the great
statesman and patriot, is the response made
by Mr.. Clay, to the charge that he had chang
ed his ground on the bank question. "Yes
sirs," said Mr.. Clay, cit is very true that
opposed National Bank in 1911 the speech
you quote is my sPeech-it contains frank
expression Of the opinions ! ;hen held on
the subject. But five years of painful ex.
perience convinced me that | was wrong
that bank was necessary to the country
both in relation to its currency and its rev.
lenues; and the very next occasion that offer
ed, | avOwed the convictions that time and
national suffering had produced and to these
convictions | have ever since adhered.
am not ashamed of having grown wiser BIZ
experience, and on this only Of all great ma.
tional questions ] have changed nv ground
Judge from the arguments and facts | now
submit to you whether had OF had not good
reason"
! What a striking contrast between the
frank and ingenious course Of Mr.. Clay, and
that of the two leadingaspirants to the pre-.
sidency in the ranks of our opponents.
Look at the shutting and lodging of Van
Buren, on the Missouri question, the tariff
and internal improvement questions, and
the standing army question! Compare Il
with the sophistical attempts of Calhoun tC
prove his bank and ant-bank, tariff and anti
tariff, national road and anti.nationaI roac
doctrines of different eras, perfectly cOnsis
tent and identical. Nothing is more true
than what was once facetiously said of Mr.
Clay-"h is head and shoulders above
the taliest of them" -NashUils Banner.

The Castle on the Sen.

Anu GAEtAG M NMC GGaa
(FTODs The German)
Hast thou the tower behoIden,
The castle by the shore,
Where rOseate clouds and golden,
Ger the turrets soar?
Beetling as though il might fall
Into The mirror-bright stream,
Or rise like giant tall
And blend with the evening beam!
''Oh! yes, the castle I've seen
Lifting its spectral head,
When above the moon hath BEEN,
And around dim clouds were spread."
Beating against the sea walls,
Made the winds music gay,
Sounded from the lofty halls
The lutte and festive lay?
"The winds and waves hushed all
In still repose did lie,
But dirge from the castle hall
heard, with fearful eye"
Saws, thou the bride with the king
A ioya1S measure tread,
The sheen Of The golden ring
And mantles dyed in red?
Did they not hail with delight
Nuptials Of one so fair,
More beauteous than morning light
Streaming with golden hair!
HThe father and mother saw,
(And black their vestments were dyed)
The crown from their heads withdraw,
But never saw more the bride"

A PoetIcal Receipt for Cooking Potatoes
Few know how to cook potatoes, as singular al
it may seem. The Southern Literary Messenge
goes into the matter with rhyme and with reason
and we copy it for the benefit of our readers:
Wash them clean and scrape the skin off
One water never is enough,
Take the eyes and nubbins thin of,
And every little speck that's rough.
Do not let them lie in water,
$50 the nice observers saw
Not minute, not quarter,
That will take the taste away
When the fire is burning brightly,
And the waters boiling hot,
Sprinkle table salt in lightly,
Then put Meshannocks in the pot
Eighteen minutes, sometimes twenty,
Cooks them nicely to a turn;
Some say more, but that is plenty,
Every one must live and learn, &c. &c.

as a Newspaper.

As a weekly newspaper, il is believed that the
(" UNITED STATES. SATURDAY POST" is
not equalled by any weekly literary paper now
existing. Il contains full and well digested ac-
count Of every matter Of news up to the hour OF
printing. This Is a great desideratum TO those
who take only single weekly paper, and which
means less extensive than those connected with
the establishments cannot accomplish. The num-
Der Of persons employed, and the steam-Powei
engaged in the publication Of bis paper, alogeth-
e. surpasses that Of any other OF q similar char
Rcter. ~
In sholt, the UNITED STATES SATURDAY
POST is considered in an respects equal, Il no
superior, any OF its class, while IN price = l
far cheaper. Instead Of three dollars year, which
is the price of the two mammoth newspapers o
New York, and the two OF Boston, the sa6scrip

The TRADE OF THE MISSISSIPPI Valley
The July number of Hunts Merchants Mag
azine contains an article on the navigation Of
the Mississippi, and its tributaries. 1t devel
opes series of facts connected with progress
of steam on the western rivers, so truly start
ling that they almost exceed belief.
Steamers were first introduced on the Miss
issippi from 1911 to 1917. At that time, keel
boats were entirely employed. These made
but one trip year between Pittsburgh and N.
Orleans (2l58 miles,) and it was almost like
going to China or the East Indies, so distant
and hazardous seemed this long voyage. Only
three trips year were made between Louis
vile and Pittsburgh distance of only 4O3
miles, and which is now run by steamers as
often as 80 times year. To illustrate the
wonderful changes in travelling and carriage
Of freight, the Louisville Wing publishes the
commercial chronicle for May, 1918, Of the
port Of Louisville. The steamboat, Etna ARR.
we'd at Shippingport, few miles below Lou.
isville, from New Orleans. in twenty-five
days. The steamboat Gov. Shelby arrived at
Shippingport from New Orleans. in twenty
days, running time. On the LIST of May 1918,
hermaphrodite rugged brig barge arrived at
Shippingpors in seventy-one days from New
Orleans. A keel boat arrived there on the same
day in one HUNDRED and one days from New
Orleans. The time now occupied in making
a trip from New Orleans TO Louisville, is be.
tween five and six days. The change is so
rapid and so different from any thing in the
history Of other nations, that we eau only de-
signate it as American progress.
In 1917, the entire tonnage Of all the waters
Of the Mississippi was only 64OO tons. Yet
in 1884. after the latse Of only IL years, there
were 249 steamers, afloat with a tonnage of
thirfy-nine thousand tons. But during the last
eight years the advance has been gigan,ic.-
In eighteen hundred and for,y-two no less than
four hundred and fifty steamers wee afloat, az.
eraging 200 tons Of freight each, making an
aggregate Of 10000 tons Of shipping, built at
a cost Of $7,000,O00. This is an increase in
eight years Of one hundred and thirty per cent.
