A GREAT STATESMAN AND CoSosRrIzRR ON
THE WINE QUEsrIoN.-The company being
seated OF table, Mr.. Clay poured two glasses
Of wine, and passing them to Mr.. Dodge, re-
marked in tones sufficiently loud enough for
all to hear: 5..,.. ."D4
"Mr. Dodge, let us pledge ourselves in a
glass of old wine." 'th 'Hl
Without touching the glass, Mr.. Dodge re-
piled: EXCUSE me, Mr.. Clay; am q strict
teetotaller, and with your permission I pledge
you in what Is far moro emblematical of the
purity of true friendship, o glass Of pure
water" f,.s.l u 80
Mr.. Clay slowly replaced the glass Of wine
upon the table, scanned with his eagle eyes
the features Of his guest, and discovering no
expression but that of. unbounded respect
resched across the corner of the table, grasped
the hand Of his honest friend, and sx-
claimed: - e.'gj, 4 fss.. <, 5st'sa.A
"Mr. Dodge, honor your principlea"- land
then lsughingly added--"but can't say tbs:

retort, replied: st ,e-.'.. -,
"But is it not the doctrine that our orators
are daily teaching US, Mr.. Clay, to throw aside
taste for principles" 4. li - -, s.. 'a9.

INTERESTING RRxrs1sosscs IN HENRY CLAY,

INTERESTING RRMrNlsCBSCE IN HENRY CLAY's
LIFE.-In either 1S45 or 1846 Henry Clay
became embarrassed to such an extent that he
had to mortgage Ashland. In the mean time
movement had been started in New Orleans
by some Of Mr.. Ciay's friends, to pay his debts
and relieve him from his embarrassments, and
Mr.. A. u. Trottsr, the agent of the Northern
Bank in New Orleans, was sent East to confer
with Mr.. Clay's friends. The consequence
was that about $4,000 was subscribed, and
the Hon. VIM. Pennington was sent to Ken
lucky with the money, and reached Lexington
known to scarcely any person. He walked
into the Northern Bank and asked for Mr..
Scott, the cashier of tho bank, and upon being
shown that gentleman asked if there were not
several notes Of Mr.. Clay's that were due in O.
few days, and was answered that there were
Mr.. Scott was requested to give the whole
amount of Mr.. Clsy's indebtedness, which was
done, and q draft on one of the New York
banks was handed him, ,and Mr.. Pennington
left the bank with all Mr.. Clay's notes paid.
In few days Mr.. Clay came to town TO arrange
for renewal of the notes, If possible, and was
shown in the side room Of the bank. After
sitting o. few minutes he asked Mr.. Scott IL
there could be any arrangements to run the
the notes for longer time. Mr.. Scott looked
at Mr.. Clay to see If he was not testing, and
finding that he was not, told him that o gen.
tleman from New Jersey had called yesterday
and paid all of his indebtedness. Mr.. Clay
started whom Mr.. Scott spoke, looked at him
few seconds, burst into tesrs, and left the
bank overwhelmed. No man ever had such
friends. Where Mr.. Clay lived his personal
friends are rejoiced that William J. Pennipg-
ton has been honored with the Spsakership.

How Mrs. GURNKY AND HER LOVER AP-
PEAR AT THE FRENCH CApITAL.-- Some days
since we published paragraph from Paris
letter concerning this notorious pair, and now
add another, which says: Mrs. Quincy Is not
deferred by her position from appearing in
public. She walks daily on the Boulevards,
seemingly watching with the greatest interest
the erection Of the little line Of shops for the
sale Of New Years trifes, which are rising on
either side, and wears certain wide-awake
hat, adorned with 9 long feather, which gives
her an extremely juvenile appearance. She is
of small figure, with round face and ruddy
complexion, small sparkling black eyes, and
quantities Of dark hair enoiroling her face,
and gathered on the neck behind. Her COM
panion, though Of somewhat foxy tint, has, as
well, quiet and subdued expression, which
gives him tho look Of q pensive shepherd who
has tended his flock till he has grown into the
likeness Of one Of his own sheep. This may
originate in the awkwardness Of his present
position, for 1t is quito consoling to see how
his outward appearance ooincides with the
present French fashion, which requires every
female Parisian to look like an English groom,
if wishing to be taken for q French nobleman.

A CANINE Coop SAxARIrAN.-The Carrolton
(Ill) Press tells curious story of W. @. Grsa-
yer having given dog to a friend, who, to
retain his acquisitlon, placed upon him heavy
chain and clog, which he could drag about
with some difficulty. In short time, how
ever, the dog disappeared, and could not bs
found anywhere, though an active search was
made for him. During the time Of his dlsap-
pearanee it was observed that another neigh
boris dog, when fed each day, would take q
bono and carry it off, always going in the same
direction. They followed him one day and
penetrated his secret. The dog first named,
in attempting to make his way back to his
old home, had jumped fence and got his clog
fast in some way, 80 that he could not get
loose, and for two weeks he had thus been a
prisoner. Ills former playmate and compan-
ion being unable to relieve him from his CON
Anement, carried to him every day portion
of his food, thus preserving him from total
starvation and lingering death. The bones
scattered about his place Of confinement testi-
fed to the devotion of his companion, but for
which he must have perished, as he was out
during the severely cold weather weeks ago,
and was reduced to shadow when found.
