Henry Clay and Edward Everett.

Wonderful changes have been
wrought since 1910. 1t Is related
that Gen. Harrison, while President,
nominated Edward Everett for Minis
ter to England. The nomination was
referred to the committee on Foreign
Relations, of which VIM. II. King of
Alabama, was chairman, and who
years afterwards was elected Vice
President on the ticket with Franklin
Pierce. When the question came be-
fore the Senate, Mr.. King made long
and vehement speech against Mr.. Ev-
erett's confirmation on the ground that
he was New England Abolitionist."
During this speech Henry Clay left his
scat and walked up and down the Sem
ate Chamber with his hands behind
him, apparently in deep meditation,
Mr.. King said: 81 tell the Senate and
the country that if a gentleman holding
the abolition views which Mr.. Everett
holds shall be confirmed by this Sem
ate to represent this Government in
one of the highest courts of Europe,
that the Union will be dissolved" Mr..
Clay, stretching out his arm and say
ing, "Mr. President" almost without
an intermission, or break in the debate,
spoke out in his clear and sonorous
voice, And | tell you, Mr.. President,
if gentleman of the ability and stand,
ing Of Edward Everett, of Massachu.
sets, shall be rejected by this Senate
for position which he is so well
qualified to fill and adorn, for such rea.
sons as are set forth by the Senator
from Alabama, that this Union is al.
ready dissolved"

We see by our exchanges that the
renowned young American Orator
Arthur q. Mcknight, who has nov
reached his eighteenth year, has re
turned from his last visit to Europe
and is now delighting vast audiences
of intelligence and fashion in the large
cities of his own country. We clip
the following from the Philadelphia
Ledger:
TIE ORArroH LAST EvENrNG.-As was
anticipated, the audience which listen.
ed to the grafton of the juvenile orator
last night was a very large one. Not
a single seat was unoccupied, and sew
eral hundred went away without gain
ing admittance.
The Grafton was complete success,
and admirably delivered. Master Nc
knight fully demonstrated the charac-
ter of American Boys" and his allu-
sion TO Washington's boyhood was par
ticularly interesting, as well as the
same period in the lives of Bonaparte
Byron, Layfayette and Paul Jones
" Our minds" he says, ain a great
measure, are moulded in childhood, and
whatever indentures and impressions
we then receive are carried with us to
our graves"
How important it is, then, that the
parents of our children throughout the
land should realize this fact, and see
that they are surrounded with good
and happy influences, and provided
with useful and profitable divertise-
ment.
Mr.. Meningitis power over an au-
dience is wonderful, alternately COM
pelling tears and convulsing laughter.
His recital of the incident relative to
the death of his friend Willie"
brought the entire audience to tears,
and many sobbed aloud So vividly
did he portray the suflcrings of the lit
tic hero, that we imagined that we
stood by his side and heard that last
don't cry for me-" Then his story of
the lad who had his own way-an on
ly son-who being in church in compa-
ny with his father and mother, slapped
his mother in the face and threw q
hymn-book at his father for not per-
mitting him to deface the paints with
leadpencil brought down the house.
The grafton, frcm beginning to end,
was highly interesting and instruct
i've, and will long be remembered.
This youth has undoubtedly one of the
strongest minds in our nation, and if
he lives, uninlluenced by ilattery, dissi-
patton and evil, will one day be one of
the greatest statesmen in our land.

his eyes rested upon the page, a great
cry broke from his lips "Oh,. my
daughter! my daughter Do not tell
me, Margaret, that she destroyed her
sclf?n = .... ........s .......
Yes" faltered Mrs. Moore. "Thc
next morning her body was picked up
in the river near the village. tried
vainly to find her that night, but hav.
ing no clue to her whereabouts, failed
entirely. She was buried in my own
garden, and Lillian has often played
around her grave. People thought i,
strange that | should wish to put q
stranger and suicide there, but | did
it, and kept my own counsel. Why !
have not told you before that Lillian
is your granddaughter you will readi,
ly understand. knew that you had
cursed her relentlessly, but brother,
you will not curse her child now ?"
Course her Oh no, no Lillian,
can you forgive me for my cruelty to
herr" and the old mans arms were
extended imploringly. The young
girl sprang to his side, and threw her
arms around his neck.
Forgive you, grandfather ! Oh
yes, for know you have suffered bit
terly enough in all these years to expi-
ate the cruelty of the one act.'
Mrs. Moore bowed over the two,
printed kiss upon the brow of each,
and left the room. Half an hour later
the three, with glad but subdued
smiles, stood in the drawing-room to
welcome the coming guests.
Father Hueston, when he returned
home, took with him his sister and
grandchild, and never again was his
grand old home desolate.

Sherman writes from Fayetteville that
his army is in fine health and spirits.
The damage he has inflicted upon the
Confederacy during his march, is i'm

and 5000 barrels Of gunpowder were
seized at different places. The defeat
of Fitzpatrick by Hampton, over which
the rebels felt SO joyful, amounts to
no defeat at all.

be placed in the field No credits are therefore,
TO be allowed for any recruits under this call
who were in the United States service at the date
above mentioned, and thorough revision of the
quotas of the various districts must now take
place.
Rumors it is said, were current in Washing
ton that Gen. Sherman has communicated to the
President the fact of the State authorities of
Georgia having applied TO come back into the
Union, and it is thought that Secretary Stanton's
visit to Savannah has some connection with the
subject.
Mobile advices of the 9Th inst. report a raiding
party advancing towards Smithfeld, twenty
miles north of Aberdeen. Gen. Hoods army is
said to be moving on Tupelo, which will, it is
assumed, be the future base of operations.
The Richmond Examiner of the 4th gives Gre
dence to the report that Gen Thomas's forces
had received heavy check near the Tennessee
River, and had lost two entire brigades and an
immense wagon train.
