A friend politely informs us that we were mis-
taken in our statement of the distance of Henry
Clay's residence from Lexington it being not
more than mile or something over, instead of
twelve was our impression. This. indeed rem
ders it more probable that Mr.. Clay was aware of
the state Of public feeling IN Lexington, but does
not ip the least invalidate the arguments that jour-
ney and residence Of some time at The spring would
only be taken after more than two days prepare
lion, that the "mob" had not assumed threat
ming aspect before he left since on Monday when
c. M. Clay's letter was read, The account is, "lt
was supposed it (he letter. would be satisfactory;
that the prime mover Of the concern were, II. +.
Marshall and his friends, sworn enemies of Henry
Clay, and therefore, his influence could be of 10
avail. and that Henry Clay as private citizen of
the State of Kentucky and not resident of Lex
ington, was under no obligation whatever to defer
his own private business to attend 70 the affairs of
the city for which proper officers had been provi-
ded. When we first heard Of the Lexington out
rage we anticipated such attack on Henry Clay.
We doubted whether the democratic" papers
were sufficiently base, but we were sure the Sig
nal was.

The weather during The pas, week has
been unusually cold. The thermometer

10 fifteen degrees below zero. On
Wednesday nigh, Of las, week, tie ice
commenced running, and the river closed
on Monday with firm bridge of ice, free
for all TO cross at pleasure. The sudden

provisions for the winter. We are glad

those who are able. to aid them in their
charitable purposes by such contributions

THE BRAZILIAN COURT.

We have received letter from Rio;M Lich
gives the following sketch Of The etiquette Of
the Court Of Brazil:
MIR. Wise hns been presented to
the Imperial Court Of HraZil, and is now aaIy
installed Minister Plenipotentary OF tic L.
States. One oflhc parry gave Us Il few days
since description Of his reception hy Ihu
Emperor and his Court. He was acrcm-
panied by Mr.. Walsh, the secretary of lrgs.-
lion. and one Of our naval officers, all dressed
in full unilOrm-swOrds cooked hats, &r
They were driven 10 tho palace in splendid
barouche and four on arriving Al the palace
they were bowed into anie- rOon-$Onn atr,F
which they were conducted 10 the door of the
reception roou,wherc Tire Emperor and some
Of his principal officers were in waiting 10 re-
ceivc them. On entering the door they
stopped and mude a low how, the" walked
forward 10 about the centre oil the room,
stopped, and made another low bow they
then proceeded 10 near the foot Of the throne,
where they stopped and made another low
how. Mr.. Wise then made speech 10 the
Emperor Il copy Of which had been pre-
viously given to the Empcrnr's prime minis
ter, in order that his Majesiy-being too
much of heather TO understand English
U
! be said 10 lin by the Government of the
/ United States through It's new representa-
! tive.
AT the close Of the speech MrsNis assem-
dcd the steps of the platform upon which the
throne was erected and presented TO his In
pcrial Majesty his credentials, &c. Tie
! Emperor then said sta bom, very goUdD
and few other words. expressing the great
! satisfaction, &c. which these friendly ASST
RANGES on the part Of the United States had
afforded him. Our Minister and his two al
tendants after another low bow, at the foot
Of the throne, commenced their retreat.

treat in very good order 10 the centre OF the
room; here they stopped and made another
low bow 10 The throne. They then recon
menced their retreat Mr.. Walsh having
often travelled that way beiorc, was so for
tunate as 10 hit the right door-but the Min
lister was less fortunate. Either there was IL
emergency in the line Of the carpet, or dis

THE CROPS.

We have advices by letters and papers from
nearly every quarter Of the Union, and their
general tenor indicates al abundant harvest
Of Summer Grains. The Wheat Harvest in
Virginia and Mary land is certainly above an
average; SO it is in Pennsy lvania and New
jersey, where harvesting is now in progress.
We learn from Ohio, Indiana and Michigan
that the yield is certain TO be far better Than
was expected month or six weeks ago. The
June rains have been very extensive and most
benefcent. The Monroe (Mich.) Gazette
says that Mr.. Frost of Albion, distins uished
flour manufacturer, has been travelling IhrO'-
out that State and expresses the opinion thai
the Wheat crop Of this year will be nearly
twice as large as that Of any previous year.
He says it looks superbly in all dircctioas.
From Illinois. Wisconsin and Iowa, We have
similar though not so definite reports
Hay and Oats are short everywhere, while
Indian Corn is backward but generally Of Il
good color and coming on rapidly. We saw
a capital growth of Through Monmouth Co.
n. ]. on the 4th. This will go far to cause
the deficiency of Hay and Oats TO be forgot
ten. Tobacco is said to be poor and backward
in Maryland. Cottonappears to be generally
doing well.-Tibme.

The ALPAcA.-From Mr.. Ellsworth's Re-
ports it appears that the amount of Alpaca
wool consumed by British manufacturers
from its introduction in 1892 up to 1914 "a
mounts to l2,000,OO0 lbs. The price varies
from Is Sd to 2s Cd per h., and the average
weight of the fleece is about 10 pounds.
This animal is native Of the mountains Of
Peru, and of the same species with the Lama,
which is chiefly valued as beast of burthen
The Alpaca is wool bearing animal. and
large flocks of it were formerly owned by the
Iucas, sovereigns Of that country, and other
wealthy inhabitants.
II is said to be remarkable for its hardy
constitution and its gentle, docie disposition,
becoming strongly attached to its keepers
1t is represented as being less affected by a
change of condition than any other animal,
being most readily to adapt itself to almost
any cline and food. 1t is easily domesticated
in any home where 1t meets with kindness. The
wool is fine and silky and peculiarly adapted TO
the manufacture of fine woolen fabrics. Their
flesh is also said to be very valuable as an ar
ticle Of food. 1t would probably thrive
well on the Allegheny ridges. the Cum
berland mountains, and the hills of New
England, to say nothing of the Rocky noun
tains SO ardently coveted by many.-Cler.
