Free and EaSy.-The Detroit Advertiser tells
the following story:
We recoect an excellent story, admirably
well told by Hon. J. B., now a member of
the Legislature of Michigan, as having occurred
about the time of the Baltimore Wing Conven-
ton in 1914, to which the narrator was dele
gate. 1t become the privilege of many of the
delegates and the others, to pay their respects to
Hon. Henry Clay, whose plain republican ease
and urbanity charmed all who met him for the
first time. While our informant was engaged
in conversation with Mr.. Clay, the door opened,
and fine six foot man entered unannounced-
The stranger was tashionably but somewhat as
tonishingIy dressed in green sporting coat, with
buttons somewhat smaller than the top of your
hat-a bright scarlet plaid vest, divided into
square of s by 10, with buff corduroy continue
tons. This astonishing 'efiigy' was hung in
chains of every style, and wore athis fob pen
dant steel about the size of steeyard pois-
On his head was four foot Panama. under

This surprising person after reaching the center
of the room, paused and took lesurly survey
of those present, and singing out Mr. Clay, (who
could mistake HIM walked up to him and pro-

Yes, was the reply of the statesman.

proverbiaI, has given place to maccountable in
difference; and the most degrading connections
have assumed among this people an authentic
and respected character. The marriage cere-
mony is the prelude to unbridcd gaantry-
While it would be considered indecorous in an
unmarried female to be seen out of doors, or sit

Immediately after marriage the Spanish belle
must have, as matter of cnursP, her cortejo who
has, in general, very strong hold of her afftc-
tons, her husband compared with this love is a
person of secondary consideration. The cortJo
attends upon her on all occasionS-in private and
in public, in health and in sickness. When she
sits at home he is at her side; when she walks
out his arm supports her; and when she Joins
in the dance he must be her partner. The fidel-
ity and constancy OF the Spanish lady are tested
by her conduct to her cortojo. This system of
laxity is so general in Spain, That there is
Iy lady of rank or responsibility who has not a
domestic lover.
