before at the Red River landing. Mr.
/ Beard, one OF the unfortunate passen-
gers OF the Buckeve, attempted to
swim ashore with his Young nephew
upon his back, but in the endeavor both
were drowned The above names en-
brace all that we could gather with cer>
tainty-a few days will doubtless add
| others 10 the melancholy list.
The De Soto remained bv the wreck
till the last, her officers exerting them
selves to the utmost in saving the lives
and propertyOf the passengers upon
the sinking boat. Near forty lives
were saved by the mate of the De Soto
with the yawl, who picked them up
in the water. The night was clear an d
The moon shedding IA brilliant light; else
the lives of many more would have
been LOST.
The De Soto arrived at our Levee
yesterday morning with many of the
sufferers on board The lamentations
of those who had lost their families
were still heard-mothers were still
orieving for their children thus entire>
ly cut off. The bodies Mr. Hyam's
little glrl and sister in-law were res
covered, as was also that of one of the
children of Gel. King. La addition the
bodies of three other children have
been found.
Such are the particulars, so far as
we have been able 10 learn them of this
unfortunate caSualiiy-a CASUALTY which
has sent so mlny human beings thus
suddenly before their Maker. Although
we have heard pei sons attach blame to
some of the officers OF the Buckeye, in
not keeping their proper position in
the river, others again entirely exoue-
rate them; and we are inclined TO be-
lieve thst the collision was one of those
sudden accidents which prudence in
vain endeavours TO combat. The boat.
together with the cargo, is total loss,
although many of the hands were left
by the wreck TO save such trunks and
other property as might float"

DEATH OF NICHOLAS BlDDLE.
Late President of the United States
RINK


The Philadelphia Gazette of Feb. 81,
says:-"For some months past 1t has
been known to the friends of Nicholas
Bdd!e that his health was greatly I'M
paired and his permanent recovery
doubtful. 1t IS our painful task to an
nounce that the disease which had so
long, afflicted him, terminated his life
this morning, at Andalusla. The hour
of his death was about four O'Clock.
The last illness of Mr.. Biddle was
accompanied by great suffering. In the
early stages the disease, he occasions
ally visited the city. but exhibited TO
those who met him no token of physical
distress. His fortitude was conspicu-
Gus to the last. He leaves widow,
several children and numerous rela>
tives and friends TO mourn his loss,at an
age when they might well have hoped
to witness the exercise of his varied
powers in their full vigor."

The DUTY OF PARENTs.-The last du-
ty OF parents to children is that of giving
them an education suitable to their station in
life; duty pointed out by reason and for
the greatest importance of any. For as
Puf1endorf very justly observes, it is not ca
sy to imagine or allow, that parent has
conferred any considerable benefit on his
child by bringing him into the world, if be
afterwards entirely neglects his culture and
education. and suffers him to grow up like
beast, to lead life useless to others al 4
shameful TO himself

WoMEN-s LOVE OF FLowERs.-In all
countries, women love flowers; in all
countries they form nosegays OF them !;
but il is only in the bosom of plenty that
they conceive the idea OF embelllShng
their dwellings with them. The cult
vation of flowers among the peasantry,
indicate revolution among their ieel-
ings. 1t is delicate pleasure, which
makes way through coarse organs; 1t is
a creature whose eyes were opened /;
il IS a sense of the beautiful faculty
of the soul which is awakened. Those
who have travelled in the country, can
testify that rose>tree under the WIN
dow, honeysuckle around the door of
the cottage, are always good omen to
the tired traveller. The hand which
cuItivates flowers, is not closed against
the application of the poor or the wants
of the stranger.

THE CLAY STOCK

The Clay stock is monsrous poor stock indeed; let's
take peep at their performance on the political turf
Here it iss poor show they made even in theirbest
days. They have no chance in fair race; but they
are real screaners at jockeying.
Henry Clay was run in 1894, and defeated Mr. Clay
himself voting for John @. Adams in the House of Re-
presentatives contrary to the instructions of the Ken
lucky Legislature and being afterwards appointed by
Adams Secretary fS:ate notwithstanding the ques-
ton of adjourned veracity" between them.
In 1928 Mr.. Clays political partner, John a. Adams
in the House of Representatives conrayto the nsiruc
was run for reelection with the understanding that
Clay was tobe his but the usious Jackson
was elected over the combined forces.
In 1882 Clay was run against Jackson, the Federal
lists using the same slang they now repeat about the
Democrats being opposed to Tariff, they claimed to
be very confident ofClays sriumph and the result show
ed most decisive majority for Andrew Jackson.
In 1886, he Wings regarded Mr. Clay as "unavail-
able" the Connecticut Federalists went for Harrison
the Massachusetts buelghts for Webster and some OF
the Southern Wings for White.
In 1910, Clays friends desired his nomination, but
the majority the Harrisburg Convention, being con-
vinced of his unpopulary, decided that he was "una-
railaJc and nominated Gen. Harrison. If Henry Clay
had been nominated in 1910, he would have been de-
feated
The espicia friends Of Henry Clay, now feel that he
so advanced in years. that if he is not run now he ne
yer can be- and therefore departing from the ordinary
rules Of political organization, openly declare that they
wlllsuppoF no other than him; the desperate poll

The Federalists are now as full of buser as in 1882
they make as greatan QUERY about the Tariff as in
1882 they boast of Clays popularity as in 1882 they
prophecy his success in 1892 and the Democrats will
rout them as in 1892, A.
