ATTEMPTS TO ROB HIS FATHRR.-The louisville
Journal says in regard to Mr.. James B. Clays recent
denial of his fathers authorship of the Missouri
Compromise:
Mr. James B. Clay has addressed q letter to the
Boston Daily Advertiser, denying that his father was
the author OF the Missouri Compromise. We don't
know who may have originally suggested that there
Henry Clay gave 1t being and was therefore, to all
intenls and purposes, its author. We know too that
he was pronder Of that great act Of pacicatcn than
OF any other OF the glorious deeds that adorned bis
long and brilliant career. Had Mr.. Clay, at any time
between 1920 and the day of his death, been asked
what achievement Of all his life he regarded as enti
Ting him to the most honor 1t the hands Of his
generation and posterity. he would without one
ments hesitation have designated the passage of the
Missouri Compromise.
Mr.. Clay was the author of great many glorious
things, aud OF only one that he had reason 10 bs
ashamed of-and that one is now in Congress.

The LEVEL OF THE GREAT LAKEs--There is said
to be mysterious rise and fall Of the great level Of
American lakes, which has long occupied the atten
ton Of many scientific men. In addition TO the va
riations which depend upon the changes Of seasons,
there is local. htfal irregular oscillation of few
inches to few feet, not to be predicted its period OF
oscillation being from three to five minutes, and
which continues from one to twenty-four hours. In
the course of several years observations no wave Of
this character has been seen two feet in height
in stormy weather and in calm weather over one and
one-half feet. The average interval has been found
to be four and one.half minutes. The waves invari-
ably come in from the open sea in line parallel with
the shore. The phenomenon has not yet been ac-
counted for; but Mr. Charles Whittlesey, OF Cleve-
land, Ohio, who has recently published pamphlet
on the subject thiaks that the causes are to be
sought In the electromagnetic changes Of the atmos-
phere. [Boston Journal.

quest that If the Legislature believed that her hus-
