OIL OF TANNIN,

A NEW CHEMICAL DISCOVERY.
Most people know that skins and hides are convert

covered with crust, sc. THIS ALL KNOW. To re-
store them life, softness moistness strength smooth
ness, and ramoye all crust, fly or bster-restore the
tannin- This substance the leather receive
the second time but the whole virtues of it are in
this article, the OIL OF TANNIN-which pene-
trates the stfest and hardest leather if it has been
twenty years in use and if it tears easily with the
fingers, it imparts at strength that is utterly
incredible until seen. 1t becomes like new leather
in all respects, with delightful softnsss and polish
and makes all leather completely and perfectly inn
pervious to water-partcularly boots shoes, carri-
agetops harness. hose trunks and in fact all things
made of leather giving splendid polish, high
than new leather has, and at least doubling its

is used THESE ARE FACTS.

CLAY AND THE "BONDS" AGAIN.
The reader will see by the following that the
Infamous fabricatIons of the Polkites, represent
ing that Mr. Clay accepted challenge to fight a
duel with Mr. King, and was under Bonds to
prevent his fighting, are scattered TO the winds:
Mn CHADwIcK:-There appears TO be much
msapprehension relative to the affair in the u Z.
S. Senate between Mr. Clay aud Mr. King,
concerning which so much is now said by Mr.
Claws opponents. Even you, sir, in your re-
marks on this subject in your. last paper, seem
to admit the correctness of their accounts which
represent that challenge passed between those
gentlemen.
For the purpose of satisfying myself and
friends Of Mr. Clay's true position in that trans
action, recently solicited a description Of it
from the Hon. s. S. Phelps, who was at the
lime in the Senate Chamber. take pleasure
in communicating his reply, because in the first
place his statement, being personal witness,
is entitled TO implicit belief, and secondly il ex-
onerates Mr. Clay from blame, and shows con-
clusvey that the course he pursued was con-
sistent with his settled and avowed determine
ton TO avoid and discountenance the practice
of duelling. ] say, his apotced determination
for it should he remembered that Mr. Clay
was the advocate and supporter Of Mr. Prem

practice. Respectfully yours,

MIDDLEBuRY, July %, 1914.

mlDDLEBURr, July -, 1888
DEAR SIR-The circumstances OF the affair
between MI Clay and MIR King, about which
so much has been said, are briefly these:
In the course of debate in The Senate upon
some subject do not remember what-ihe
discussion assumed party character. Mr.
King, of Alabama, rose and proceeded to in
dulge in some very pointed and harsh remarks,
cannot attempt TO relate, but they struck me
at the time not only as departure from Mr.
Kings usual gentlemanly manner, but as I'M
provoked and uncalled for. So much so, in
deed, as to excite in me a suspicion that Mr.
Kings equanimity had been disturbed by some
thing of which | was ignorant. | am conf
dent that MIR Clay had INDUCED in no previous
personality to provoke or justify the remarks
of Mr. King. Mr. Clay rose, evidently much
excited and responded. He closed what he had
to say with remark, in substance, that the
course of Mr. King was ungentlemanIy and
cowardly.
Upon hearing this expression, Mr. X. seized
his pen and attempted TO write something which
supposed must be challenge. He was, how.
ever, evidently too much excited to write. He
threw down his pen, and remarked that he
would not reply, but intimated that he should
notice the matter in another way.
This collision between these two gentlemen
of course, excited much feeling, more especial
~ as challenge from Mr. King was expected
on all sides. The magistracy Of the city, how
ever, took the matter in hand, and with view
to prevent the challenge, Mr. King was put un
der bonds 10 keep the peace.-And with view
10 prevent the acceptance of IL should one be
given,-Mr Clay was put under bonds also.-
Indeed il would have been invidous 10 place
Mr. X. in lhat position without putting Mr. C. in
il also. No challenge ever passed. Thro' the in.
tervention of friends the difficulty was adjusted
"a public explanation took place in the Senate
and there matters ended. Nobody expected
that Mr. Clay would give a challenge. Il was
expected from Mr. King. Yet the Loco Focos
have endeavored to throw the whole odium up.
on Mi Clay.
