The GRAVE OF HENRY CLAS.--The editor OF
the Fort Wayne Times has been on journey
through Kentucky, and went to pay his devO-
tons TO the grace of Henry Clay. In the
| cemetery not iAr from Lexington he searched
| for it first among those covered with entabla-
tured slabs, obelisls, pyrani,Is aud imposing
monuments, but the name was found On none
OF these he sought il among less imposing
tablets, but found it not. A lad at last led
him to the spot, whore little mound, marked
! only by the path worn BY the footprints Of de-
| voted ceuntrymon, told that tho Great Com
mOner still lived in the hearts of the people
| Near by was the monument aiGectiOnatCly in
scribed by Mr.. Clay to his mother. On an ad-
Joining eminence, which is beautiful site
with an area Of half an acre, circular in form
| the people OF Kentucky arc to erect a mOnu-
mont of Kentucky marble, Of beautiful design,
which is to rise 40 feet in height, under which
the remains ofthe noble son of our sister State
are to be deposited. The cornerstone will be
laid on the 4th OF July next, with imposing
| ceremonies. .....
GEN. CAss.-There is not the least truth in
the report that Gen. Cass is failing, in either
| physical or intellectual power. He docs not
seem day older or shade less vigorous and
original in mind than he did ton years ago
Indeed, we should say that he had gained
something in thesereSpects, for his speeches last
week were q great deal shorter and more to the
! point than the ten hoHr discourses he used to
pronounce in the Senate. 1t was our good
fortune to be conveyed in the same train with
| the distinguished Secretary from Cincinnati
! nearly to Sandusky. He sat steadily upright
| for the whole six hours, never once falling into
a dozo of fatigue, as some younger men did.
| lie travelled, too, In the most democratic style
without any attendant, and dined for quarter
| Of dollar at tho same shabby little waysidF
station, and off the same old pine table with
tho rest of US, unofficial democrAts.-E Y.
