Mr. Clay and Mr.. Buchanan.

When Mr. Polk was nominated for the
Presidency, Mr.. Buchanan declared to
Gen. Clinch that he would carry Pennsyl-
vania; for, said he, we will make those
Pennsylvania Germans believe that Polk
is better tariff man than Clay" The
event proved that Mr. Buchanan was in
earnest. He took the field for Polk in
Pennsylvania, and averrcd, on his honor
as gentleman, that he knew "Mr. Polk
to be better tariff man than MIR. Clay -
So the Pennsylvania Germans voted for Mr..
Polk, as Buchanan said they would, and
Polk was elected.
We nave the highest authority for as
serting that Henry Clay never forgave Mr..
Buchanan for this last outrage For his
completely in the bargain and corruption
swindle, he had previously forgiven him:
but the pennsylvania swindle" he could
not forgive, and never spoke to him from
that time till the day of his death, al
though frequently thrown in contact with
him in the society of Washington
The friends of Henry Clay would do
well to remember this, and to ask them
selves what must be the extent of Bu-
chanan's unworthiness, when Henry Clay.
the most magnaninous of men. regarded
tho treatment he had experienced at his
hands as unpardonable. -

\ Washington correspondent of the n
I. Evening Post gives the following de-
scription OF the gentleman who cudgeIled
Sumner:
Crooks is quite good-looking man,
about SIX ieet one inch in height. accord
ing to Toombs' measurement. with curly
black hair, bright eyes, and a rosy, rather
boyish face, without either whiskers or
maustache- He wears black bombazine
sack coat, Il Byron. collar, and is generally
careless In matters of dress Usually he
carries Il big cane, of larger dimensions
and more solid substance than the famous
gutta- -percha instrument which did such
bloody work on the I'D OF May, ON the
floor OF the Senate. His carriage is erect
and military, and his manners are such,
Notwithstanding his fondness for chewing
tobacco, as to excite the admiration of the
other sex, especially of the South. an ad-
miration which, since his late exploit, has
been heightened to enthusiasm. His re-
election entities him, probably, to mileage
enough to cover three or four times the
fine and other expenses of his trial, so that,
as his friends view the subject, he has
made a pretty good thing out of his assault
on Mr. Summer"

The Roman Catholic Vote.

The Boston Pilot, while vouching for
Fremont's Romanism, says, a recent num-
Der: t
"We trust no Catholic officer will be
driven out of the Army by the unrelent-
ing bigotry of dotard Commander-in
chief. And we trust, that if the Chief
Bishop 1.-THE Pope] requests him [Buchan-
AMI to extend his protection to Catholics,
he will treat his envoy with decent respect,
and ramtsh the underlings { Americansl
who dare to trample on the constitution
IN order to persecute Catholics. No man
shall receive my vote who is not PLEDG-
ED to do US CATHOLICS justice in
the Army and Navy, and not lend him
self directly or indirectly, to any persecu-
ton of us

oiic organ of New England, and is well

The Great Earthquake in the Mississippi
Valley.

Many persons had been deferred from
going to Illinois by the erroneous supposi-
ton that the country was subject to volca-
ME action This had originated from the
great earthquake of 1911, by which the
valley of the Mississippi had been greatly
shaken, the shocks having continued for
nearly three months. The country lust
below the mouth of the Ohio river would
seem to have been near the centre of the
agitation. For miles the land had been
scanned with yawning chasms and deep
holes, the remains of which are still visi-
bic. The bluff on which New Madrid
had been built had sunk to the level of
the river, and had become soon after to-
tally submerged. The commotion in the
Mississippi had been very great; the banks
had cayed IN, islands had dissolved, and
the channel had become changed At ev-
cry shock the surface of the river had ris-
en- and fallen like the waves Of the ocean.
An eyewitness, who was coming down on
a fiat boat, says: ''After escaping many
dangers, my boat suddenly swung in the
conflicting currents, and rapidly shot up
the river. Looking ahead, [ beheid the
mighty Mississippi cut in twain, and pour
ing down a vast opening into the bowels
of the earth. 4 moment more and the
chasm filed; but the strong sides of the
flat-boat were crumbled to pieces in the
convulsive efforts of the flood to obtain its
wonted level" The Indians had been
utterly bewildered by the earthquake, and
could account for the physical tumult on
ly upon the supposition that things gene
rally had been getting drunk 1t is said
of one of them, who had given himself
up for lost, that, upon being questioned
as to what the matter was, he had replied,
while at the same time pointing fearfully
to the heavens, "Great Spirit -whiskey

Extraordinary Elopement and Stupen-
dous SWindle in Alabama.

The community of Madison county was
suddenly startled by the elopement of John
E. Townsend with the step-daughter of his
overseer, on Friday night, the 18th July,
and the discovery Of the extensive frauds
he has ommitted-taking with him, it is
supposed, cash funds to the amount of
over one hundred thousand dollars. be-
longing to the assets of the estate of his
uncle, Edmund townsend of which he
WIS the co-administrator; as also funds
obtained from two commission houses in
huntsville, in drafts to the amount of
S33 900 or $40 ,00O-besides contracting
sundry debts abou- Huntsville, leaving his
wife and childrer, and all his property,
growing crop, etc, except two negroes.
Attachments up to Monday, 2Sth, to the
amount of sl20,O00 had been placed in
the hands of the Sheriff, and had been
levied on his property.
1t has been matter of much specula-
ton, as to the motive which influenced
Townsend to thus abscond He was not
in debt-his property that he has left is
worth, it is said Tery near the amount for
which it has been attached, and he WAS the
heir, an prospects,, OF all OF Samuel Town
sends property-(estimated at S200,00O
besides other legacies in prospect SO
that the only advantage he has apparently
gained in his situation by the operation is
the "gaF'-a boon rather costly to him
anyhow, as it is said he bought SI00worth
of jewelry to deck her of with, in Hunts
vile, day or two before he started. Ap-
parently to the public there is,no motive
for his elopement, nor is it known which
way he has gone. IF he had intended to
pursue planting, the only business he
knows anything about, he would have
taken his negroes and gone southwest.
But We incline to think his object is some
secluded spot, where the chances for dis
covery viii be very few, and where he can
live on his money in seclusion.

SCARLATINA.-A prescription for the
cure of small pox, scarlatina and measels,
has been published by member of the
Royal College of Surgeons, London. 1t
is reported to have been tested with inva-
riable success in innumerable instances,
and the recipe is as follows: Take one grain
of foxglove or digitalis valuable in the
ratio of its greenness-and the same quaint
ity of sulphate of zinc or white yitroil, rub
thoroughly in mortar with a few drops of
water; add four ounces of water and little
sugar. Ofthis mixture, table spoonful
should be given an adult, and two teaspoon
fuls toa child every second hour, until
symptoms of disease vanish. The herb an :
initiates the fever, and the zinc is tonic,

MARROW ESCAPE OF AN AMERICAN
FROM A FRENCH CHAIN GANG.-A Paris
letter, Of July "a, to the N. Y. Times,
says:
[ spoke to you in late letter of the in
generation in the concicrgerie of this city
of an American, belonging to distin-
guished family, for theft committed un-
der singularly aggravated circumstances
and | promised you the details when the
affair should have been made public by
the tribunals. At first the Prefect of Po-
lice insisted, and very properly, that the
case was violation of the French law,
which French law must judge. The fam
lily, on the contrary, desired to make their
own disposition of the affair, in the way
of compromise. AT last, the American
Minister was referred to, and through his
active Intervention, the case and the pris-
oner were dismissed on the pretext of
''frivolous." To the influence of our Min
lister and the leniency of Mons. Pietre,
therefore, is the late distinguished prison
er indebted for his escape from the plea
sures of a French chain gang.

a very good story is told of the Hon.
Jacob Broom, one of the Philadelphia
members of the House of Representatives.
Some discussion having arisen few days
ago as to his antecedents, the gentleman
himself was appealed to, when he replied
as follows: "My grand father, who was
named after me, took the liberty of sign
ing my name to the original Constitution
of the United States, and | feel therefore
in duty bound to defend and sustain it."
Mr. Broom's grandfather, bearing the
same name, was one of the delegates from
Delaware to the convention of 1887, which
framed the present Constitution,

PLAIN TALK FOR LADIEs.-The West
ern editors are certaianly very free spok-
en-, and their rhetoric, like the Bowie
knives of some of them, is sharp and to the
point One of them, speaking of low
necked dresses and short sleeves saws,
"The prevailing fashion amanc the
ladies, which transposes an angel into a
model artist, is universally detested by
every gentleman whose good opinion a
lady should desire 1t blunts the finer
feeling of both sexes, and is disadvan-
tage to the one, by destroying all room
for imagination in the other. A round
plump, white arm is beautiful, and NAV
be admired with all propriety; but an arm
shaped like three-cornered file with red
elbows is not beautiful, and, in competi.
ton with Spanish garrote, would stand
no chance of being elected to ones neck. A
white, round neck, with an alabaster base
half concealed bya coquetish collar, is the
most bewitching sight in the world; but a
large expanse of bony shoulders painted
like patent ham, with Its contiguous un-
protected territory, has about as many at
cractions as newly painted Windsor
