Ethan Allen in CapiiVity.

Among the episodes Of the Revolutions

the queer genius, Ethan Allen In Eng

uncommon, Allen seemed to have been a
curious combination of Hercules, Joe
bliller,a Bayari and Tom Heyer. He had

music like Swiss, aad heart plump as
Cnur de Lions. Though born in New
England, he exhibited no traces Of her
character, except that his heart beat wildly

bluff, companionable as harvest.
For the lnost part Aliens manner while
in England was scornful aud ferocious in
the last degree, although qualified at times
by a heroic sort Of loVity. Aside from the
inevitable egoiism relatively pertaining to
pine trees, spires and giants, there were,
perhaps, two special, incidental reasons for
the Titanic Vernonter's singular demeanor
abroad. Taken captive while heading
forlorn hope before Montreal, be was treat

HENRY CLAY And JiMES
BUCHANAN.

In giving place to the subjoined article
| from the Louisville Journal, we think it
proper to preface it with narrative given
us by venerable citizen of this place, who
| at the time alluded to, was an active and
earnest friend Of Gen. jackson, and re-
sident of Baltimore city. He says, that
when a copy Of Mr. Buchanan's letter in
reply to Gen. Jackson's reference to him,
| as the witness to prove the charge Of 'sBar-
gain and Intrigue" against Henry Clay,
was received in Baltimore, coterie of the
leading men of the jackson party had as
sembled at the Office of the Republican, of
which Dabney S. Carr was editor, to hear
the letter read Mr.. Carr read it. A
moments pause ensued, which was inter-
rupted by the remark from William Frick,
ESQ, that ''Buchanan's letter don't sustain
Gen. Jackson" Mr. Carr immediately
rejoined; SBy G. gentleman, We must
say it does sustain Gen. Jackson. Our
success depends upon saying so. The
Washington Globe viii be here Tomorrow,
this was before the railroad was construct
ed,) containing an editorial, in which it viii
be insisted that the letter fully sustains him,
in every particular, and we must say so too.
l shall say so, in my leader in to-morrow's
Republican, simultaneously with the GLOBE. !"
Our informant says, that after some further
explanation, it was agreed to put the con-
struction on Buchanan's letter. which the
whole democratic party afterwards put on
it, and which Mr.. Buchanan suffered it to
bear, to the political ruin of Henry Clay,
for such a long series OF years.
1t will be observed that in Mr. Buchan
ans letter to Dir. Letcher in 1874, be dis
tinctly intimates that he did Mr.. Clay
sample JUSTICE in his letter in answer to
Gen. Jackson," meaning, that that letter
did pot sustain Gen. .Jackson's charge, and
yet by his silence for a quarter of centu-
ry, he permitted the injurious construction
to operate against Mr.. Clay. Out upon
such hypocrisy and neanness'--F'rederfelf

From the LomsUiie Journo!l
Henry Clay and James buchanan

We hope that what we are now about to
write, will command the attention of all ho-
nest and honorable men and especially Of
old-line Wings, the former supporters of
Henry Clay aud the present revereTs oS his
memory. The boast has been made that
the old line Wings will as a general rule
support Mr.. Buchanan for the Presidency.
We shall see.
All of our old politicians have vivid
recollection of the leading events of the
election of President by the House of Re
presentatiyes in the early part of 1879
Mr.. Clay was then member of the House
and he cast his vote and Influence in favor
of John Quincy Adams, who was elected
over Gen. jackson and Mr.. Crawford
Mr.. Clay was subsequently selected by Mr..
Adams as his Secretary of State. At
later period Mr.. Clay was charged by his
political enemies with having sold his vote
to Mr. Adams for the Secretaryship, and
VIC all know that this cruel and monstrous
charge, though abundantly refuted in every
form in which rcfutation was possible or
conceivable, involved to a great extent, tbe
ruin Of Mr.. Clay's political fortunes. But
fer that charge, he would afterwards have
been elected President of the United States
almost bv acelamation.
Foremost among those who charged that
Mr.. Clay's vote was given to Mr.. Adams
on account of promise of the Secretary
ship of State was Gen. jackson. The Ge-
neral gave the name of Mr.. buchanan as
his authority for the truth of the charge
Mr. Buchanan had held private conver-
sation with him on the subject, making such
statements as left no doubt upon the subject
in the Generals mind. In fact the General
did not hesitate to say, after that interview,
that Mr.. Buchanan had come to him with
| full authority from Mr. Clay or his friends
to propose terms to him in relation to their
votes: that is, to propose to vote for him for
the Presidency, if he would promise Office
to Mr.. Clay. OF course, Mr.. Buchanan
was called on TO put into the form of a let
ter what he knew upon the subject, and what
| be had stated to Gen. jackson. He accord
inely wrote the letter which afterwards be-
came famous in the controversy. The letter
was most adroitly written, with view to
relieve the author from the excessively pain
ful position in which he stood He dared
not say that he ever had any authority from
Mr.. Clay or his friends to propose terms to
Gen. jackson. yet he carefully so shaped
his language as to afford Mr.. Clay's politi-
cal enemies pretext for repeating tue atro-
cious calumny against him, He expressed
his own belief of the bargain and ccrrup-
ton story. He said

WOMAN'S LOVE.

When man is waxing frail,
And his hand is thin aud weak
Aud his lips are parched ana pale.
And wan and white his cheek
Oh then doth women prove
her eonstancy and love
She setteth BY his chair,
And holds his feeble hand
She watcheth ever there,
His wants to understand.
His yet unspolen viii
She hasteneth to fulfill.
She leads him when the moon
Is bright over dale and hin,
And all things save the tune
Of the honey-bees are still,
into the garden bowers,
TIC sit midst herbs and flowers
Ard when he goes not there,
To feed on breath and bloom,
She brings the posy rare
Into his darkened room;
And meath his weary head
The pillow smooth doth spread.
Until the hour where death
His lamp Of life doth dim,
She never wcarieth
She never ieaveth him
Still near BIN night and day,
She meets his eye always.
And when his trials DER
And the turfs Oh his breast,
Deep in her bosonl's core
Lie sorrows nnexpresscd,
Her tears, her sighs are weak,
Her settled grief to speak.
And Though they may arise
Balm for her spirits pain
Aud though her quiet eyes
May sometimes smile again;
Still, still, she must regret
She never can forgetl

CLoUDLRss PERU-Lieut. Maury, in his See
ography of the Sea-" explains why there is no
rain in Peru. He says
In Peru, South America, rain is unknown.
The coast of Peru is within the region Ct per-
petual southeast trade winds. Though the Pc
ruvian shores are on the verge of the great
South Sea boiler, yet it never rains there. The
reason is plain. The southeast trade winds in
the Atlantic ocean frE; strike the water on the
coast Of Africa. Travelling TO the northwest
they blow obliquely across the ocean until they
reach the coast of Brazil. BY this time they
are heavily laden with vapor, which they con-
tinue to bear along across the continent, depos-
itng il as they GO, and supplying with it the
sources of the Rio De Ia Plata and the southern
tributaries of the Amazon. Finally, they reach
the snow-cspped Andes, and here is wrung
from them the last particle of moisture that
that very low temperature can extract. Reach
ing the summit Of that range, they now
tumble down as cool and dry winds on the Pa
ciic slopes beyond. Meeting with no evapor-
ating surface, aud with no temperature colder
than that to which they were subjected 10 on
the mountain tops they reach the ocean be-
fore they become charged with fresh vapor,
and before, therefore, they have any which the
Peruvian climate can extract. Thus we see
how the top of the Andes becomes the reser-
yoir from which are supplied the rivers of
ChRi and Peru.

GosPEL-Sombody East, we know not who, has
mmortalized himself in the following insight, into
human nature, which we indorse and literally com
mend to all cross-looking wives. He says:
whether a man leads soberlife or not depends
altogether upon the temper of his wife. No man
will listen all night to scold who knows where
good warm sling can be bought for sixpence. At
Cocktails the other night, we found no less than
thirteen married men who spent six EVENING"
week squirting bacco juice on a coal stove. We
thought we could find out who they were. On in
quiring We learned that eleven of them were
blessed with wives who jaw, while the other two
welded a couple of the philauthropist' ladies', so
constantly engaged in the welfare of Central Africa
that they have no time to keep their husbands
