ANECDOTE OF HENRY CLAY.

The anniversary of the birth Of Henry Clay
was celebrated by festival at the Commercial
Hotel, Memphis, on the evening OF the 18Th
April. Hon H. 5. Foote presided. There
was good time generally. Among those who
made speeches were the President, and II. IL.
Stanton, OF Kentucky. MIR. Foote related an
interesting incident as follows:
| shall never forget a scene which occurred
in the city of Annapolis, in Maryland, during
the summer OF 1880 MIR. Clay had become
greatly exhausted with the severe Iabors through
which he had been passing; those iaboTs, con-
tinuation of which was so soon afterwards TO
terminate his valuable life. An old and valued
schoolmate of my own, Senator Pratt, OF Mary
land, invited Mr. Clay and few others OF his
friends to spend day or two at his hosPha5ie
mansion. Mr.. Clay accepted the invitation,
and proceeded 10 Annapolis, attended by aeve-
raj gentlemen quite well known to the coun-
try. Mr.. Dickinson, of New York, was among
the invited guests, MIR. Bright, of Indiana, and
Mr.. Dawson, Of Georgia, whom you ali know
50 well, and value SO highly. | had the honor
of being in company also. The day after We
got 10 Senator Pratt's, it was proposed that we
Should take short walk through the city, and
visit that ancient, time honored building, with

Congress held its session at the close Of the War
of Independence.
We went thither accordingly, and entered

al!ude 10 the surrender of his sword TO the
Continental Congress: When Mr.. Clay en-
tered the hall he inquired for the spot where
Washington stood when this scene was enacted.
1t was pointed out 10 him. He stepped forward
and occupied it for a moment, gazing solemnIy
ond earnestly around the room, which is pre-
ciseIy IN the condition ii was in when occupied
by Congress. A crowd OF citizens gathered "a

Antbracite told the people al the depot, loud

that be would leave his trunk at the office for
few DAYS, when be would send for il. He then
went off. Tins was more than the great trunk

noise, until it was broken open, and to the a.

A TALE OF THE GREAT SARATOGA
TRUNK.

Old Anthracite las very dear wile-so dear
that she costs him, on her own private account,
about fifteen thousand dollars year. Mrs. An
thracite always has the latest fashions, SO when
the great Saratoga trunk was exhibited in Broad
way, Mrs. A. instantly purchased one for her
summer trip.
Every one knows that the great Saratoga
trunk is an unexceptionable trunk. 1t Is colos-
sal--ol Titanic proportions. CheopS, the build
er Of ;he great pyramid, might have found am
ple accommodation for her entire household IN
the great Saratoga trunk,
Accordingly, down went Mrs. A. to the great
watering place, with her great trunk. She had
not been long there, however, when Old An
tbracite received a private telegram, from a
friend, 10 inform him that Mrs. A. was hrtIng
desperately with young Belzebub, the son and
heir of old Belzebub, the great soap boIler.-
Anthracite instantly takes the tram, appears al
the hotel, and, inquiring the number ot nus
wife's room, quietly walks up stairs. HIS-wlie'S
door is shut. Anthracite knocks; door opens
after some delay. Mrs. A. appears tinttered,
which nutter increases to dlSmay when she sees
her husband. Husband enters cooly; explains
that he lust came to see how she was getting on,
and seats himself on the Saratoga trunk. Drops

Husband, amid the protestations of Mrs. a.,

THE MYSTERIOUS H0RSEMAN.
LEGEND OF TUE SUPERNATURAL.

There is tale reported by Lord Lytteton,
1--WE mean, OF course, the young OF that name
which shows the tendency in the minds of even
the shrewdest men Of the world to give re-
spectacle audience 10 the marvellous and super
natural. 1t may be found in the twenty first
of Lord Lyttleton's letters.
He says that in the early part OF the life of
one OF his trends, he attended hun
ting club, when a well mounted stranger, of
genleel address, joined the club, and rode with
a courage and an address that astonished every
body. The animal he rode is described as one
of amazing powers and endurance; the hunts
man who was left far behind swore that the
man and horse were devils from hell. After
the sport be was invited TO dinner, and aston
ished the company as much by hls conversation
al powers and the elegance OF his manners, as
by his equestrian prowess.
He was, says Lord Lyttleton, an orator, a
poet, painter, musician, lawyer, and a
divine; in fact, he was everything, and the
