The Duel Between Clay and
Randolph.
BY JAMES PARTON.

Mr.. Clay was Secretary Of State at the
time Mr.. Randolph was a Senator from
Virginia. John Quincy Adams was
President Of the United States. John
Randolph, prone to believe evil Of all
men, and especially Of his political op-
ponents, was persuaded that Henry Clay
had gained the Office he then held by a
corrupt bargain with the President He
firmly believed that Mr.. Adams had said
TO Mr.. Clay in 1924, when the election
Of a President devolved upon the House
Of Representatives
Make me President, and I will ap-
point YOU Secretary Of State and adopt
you as my successor.
Thus believing, It was hard for a man
Of Mr. Randolph s unscrupulous fueney
10 avoid betraying his belief Accord
incly, in April, 1925, in the course Of
one Of his wandering, sarcastical har-
angues, after insinusting that Mr.. Clay
had forged public document, Randolph
concluded with the following words, in
reference TO a recent vote
After twenty-siz hours exertion it
was time 10 give in. was defeated
horse, foot and dragoon-cut up and
clean broke down blythe coalition of BIZ
81 and Black George-by the combina-
ton. unheard Of till then, Of the Puritan
with the blackleg.'
Blifl and Black George are two char
acters in Fieldings celebrated novel Of
Tom Jones Bh6l being a sniveliug
hypocrite and Black George an auda-
cious robber. Every one who heard Mr.
Randolph use these words understood
Blifl to be the Yankee President, John
Quincy Adams, who, however, was no
Puritan, but an Unitarian, ike his father
before him Black George could be no
other than Mr. Clay, who early in life
was known to have been q gambler, as
most gentlemen Of the time we're. The
passage Of Mr. Randolph's speech re-
lating to the alleged forgery was as fol-
lows
" A letter from the Mexican Minister
at Washington, submitted by the Exec
utiye to the Senate, bore the ear-marks
of having been manufactured by the
Secretary Of State.
On reading the report Of this most
insulting and most uniustifable speech,
Mr.. Clay wrote a challenge, and sent it
by his friend, Gen. Jesup. Gen. Jesup
called upon Mr. Randolph, informed
him that be was the bearer of a message
from Mr. Clay, in consequence Of an
sttack recently made upon him in the
Senate, both as a private and a public
man.
q am aware, said Gen. Jesup, that
no one has right to question you out
of the Senate for anything said in de-
bate, unless you choose voluntarily TO
waive your privilege as amember Of that
body"
Mr.. Randolph replied that he would
never shield himself under the protee-
ton Of the Constitution, and held himself
accountable to Mr. Clay.
q am ready to respond to Mr.. Clay.
said he. and will be obliged to you if
YOU will bear my note in reply, and
in the course Of the day | will look out
for a friend
Gen. Jesup declined bearing the note,
saying that be thought MF' Randolph

MARSHAL NARvAEz, the late Prime
Minister of Spain, who recently died, it
is asserted, was probably enc Of the
worst men who ever lived, even in Spain
and that is saying much. He was mar
ried to noble French lady, who
brought him large dowry. He spent
the fortune and then drove his wife from
his house, having ill-treated her from
the honeymoon. He amassed large for
tune by corruption, and on dying left
his wife nothing. The, widow has ap-
pealed to Queen Isabella for redress, but
her Majesty has merely replied to the
much wronged lady that she is entitled
to the pension accorded to a Marshals
widow $4,000, and that ia ell,

] EIOu the AsfAelLe
Address of the Hebrew Congregations
in the cities of Philadelphia, New York,
Charleston and Richmond, to George
Washington, President of the United
States
Sir: 1t is reserved for you to unite
in affection for your character and
person every political and religious de-
nomination Of men and in this viii the
Hebrew congregations aforesaid yield to
no class of their fellow-citizens.
We have been hitherto prevented, by
circumstances peculiar to our situation,
from adding our congratulations to those
which the rest Of America have offered
on your elevation to the chair of the
Federal Government Deign, then, IL
lustrious sir, to accept this our hom-
age.
The wonders which the Lord of Hosts
hath worked in the days of our fore
fathers, have taught us to observe the
greatness Of His wisdom and HIS might,
throughout the events of the late revo-
luton; and while we humble ourselves
at His footstool in thanksgiving and
praise for the blessing of His deliver
ance, we acknowledge you, the leader of
the American armies, as His chosen and
beloved servant. But not to yoursword
alone is our present happiness to be
ascribed that, indeed, opened the way
to the reign Of freedom but never was
it perfectly secure till your hand gave
birth to the Federal Constitution and
you renouneed the joys Of retirement,
to seal by your administration in peace
what you achieved in war
To the eternal God, who is thyrefuge,
We commit in our prayer the care Of thy
precious life and when full of years
thou shalt be gathered unto the people,
thy righteousness shall 90 before thee.
and we shall remember, amidst our re-
gret, that the Lord hath set apart the
godly for himself, whilst thy name and
thy virtues will remain an indelible me-
mortal on our minds.
THE ANSWER.
To the Hebrew Congregations in the
City of Philadelphia, New York, Charles
ton and Richmondt
Gentlemen The liberality of senti-
ment towards each other which marks
every political and religious denomi-
nation of men in this country, stands
unparalleled in the history of nations.
The affection of such a people is a
treasure beyond the reach of calcula
ton and the repeated proofs which my
fellow -citizens have given of their attach
ment to me and appreciation of my do
ings, form the purest source Of my tenn
poral felicity. The afeetionate express
siOns of your address again excite my
gratitude, and receive my warmest ac-
knowledgement
The power and goodness Of the Al
mighty were strongly manifested in the
events Of our late glorious revolution
and His kind interposition in our behalf
has been no less visible in the establish
ment of our present equal government.
In the war He directed the sword and
in peace He has ruled in our councils.
Ny agency in both has been guided by
the best intentions and a sense of the
duty which l owe my country.
And as my exertiOns have hitherto
been amply rewarded by the approba-
ton Of my fellow-citizens, shall en-
deayor to deserve continuance of it by
my future conduct.
May the same temporal and eternal
blessings which you implore for me, rest
upon your congregations.
GEORGE WASHINGTON.

Two strange creatures were recently
discovered on the rocks by the com
mander Of the British frigate Shearwa-
ter during its passage through the Straits
OF Magellan. These wild men were at
first taken for Patagonians, but on near
ing them, however, they turned out to
be two Englishmen, who had formed part
Of the crew of the Chantieleer. Being
sent on shore, the bad weather pre-
vented them from regaining their yes
SCI, and they were cast OF the Patago-
nian coast. They had existed for six
weeks on mussels picked from the rocks.
and when discovered were covered with
snow. Hourly expecting death, they
had JOIN sworn that the survivor
should net eat the other.

IsRAELITEs are constantly subjected
to the charge that they do not consider
themselves permanent citizens of the
country where they reside, but that they
are awaiting the coming of temporal
Messiah, who viii establish the nation
in Palestine This charge was denied
by Rabbi Lilienthal at the recnt laying
of the cornerstone of house of wor-
ship for Israelites at Cincinnati. Dr.
Lilienthal said America is our Pal
estine here is our Zion and Jerusalem !;
Washington and the signers of the glo-
rious Declaration Of Independence, of
universal human rights, liberty and hap
piness, are our Messiah and the time
when their doctrines will be recognized
and carried into effect all over the world
is the time so hopefully foretold by our
great prophets. When men will live to-
gether united in brotherIy love, peace,
justice and mutual benevolenee, then the
Messiah has come indeed, and the Spirit
of the Lord will have been revealed to
all his creatures"

IL Is rare that literary partnerships
work well. The latest one. that III
Charles Reade and Bogcieault. has ended
in q quarrel. The London eOrresnon-
dsnt of the New York Tribune thus teIIs
the story:
The partnership between the two
was originally formed for what NAV he
called commercial purposes. Mr.. Reade
could command high price for a novel.
and OF the novel he was to be the author
Mr.. BoucicaIlt could command a hi0h
price for play, and was to dramatic
the novel when written. The novel an
peared by instailments in O1cg a Week
nOatlng the new series Of that periodical
into prosperous seas, and creating an IN
doubted sensation. Presently Mr.. Bouei-
cault sent word to Mr.. Reade that he
wanted to furnish part Of the text. Mr..
Heade assented. Mr.. BoueicauIt wrote
Two numbers. When the first had been
printed ana the second was partly in
type, the publishers Of Once a Week no.
tlIled MI. Reade that their contract for
q novel was with him and not with Mr.
B0qcicault, to write it F.; that they should
decline to print any more eonv ann
piled by the latter, or to Bay Mr.. Raade
unless Mr.. Reade wrote his own nevaI
Thus entreated, he resumed his men and
the whole book is in fact his, a few chan
ters excepted. Naturally, Mr. BOuci-
cault was offended, but chose to be Of
fended with the wrong person with
Mr.. Reede instead OF with Messrs. Brad
bury & Evans, the publishers Of Once n
Week. He broke of all relations with
Mr.. Resde, set himself to work to drama
tlze the novel, refused to allow Mr..
Reade to see any part Of his work or 10
consult with him, and finally announced
the drama OF Foul Play" for produe-
ton at the Holborn Pheater sooner than
1t could possibly be completed in Once q
Week. Mr.. Resde thereupon made an
other drama for himself out Of bis own
novel, and brought it eut at tae thsster
In Leeds. This latter I have moi seen.
Mr.. BOucicault's is thoroughly had
Mr.. Boucicault has been in such hurry
to put his piece on the stage that he has
tszen little care Of plot or character.
The play can hardly be ineligible to
one who has not read the novel, and is
extremely uninteresting to one whohas.u

MAINE.

BosToN,. Sept Is j. g. Blaine, Chairman
OF the Maine Republican State Committee
telegraphs from Augusta: "We have carried
every Congressional district, even where the
vote is closest, by oyer 1900 majority. We
have, carried every County, regaining three
that were carried by the Democrats last year
We have elected every Senator, and seven
eighths of the Represe natives, and have rolled
up poDular majority for Gov. Chamberlain
of 10000" t5.E '-
AUGUSTA, Sept. 15.-Returns from 298 towns,
embracing more than four-ffths of the entire
vote of the State, give Chamberlain 63,l48,
Pillsbury 1850. Same towns last year gave
Chamberlain 46,9O7; PilIsbnry 81 ,423 Repub-
lican majority this yeor l8,460 last year 9474.
The towns yet to be heard from gave last year
Chamberlain II, 184; Pillsbnry 1904. Should
the same ratio of relative increase obtain in
these towns with those already reported, their
vote would be, Chamberlain 1892, Pillsbury
10,254 which would give n total vote of 1872 $500
of which Chamberlain would have 49, 100, and
Pllsbury "a 800, giving Chamberlain majori-
ty of %, 800. 1t is not believed, however that
the towns TO be heard from will maintain the
ratio of increase exhibited in those that are
reported Judge Rice and other leading DEM
ocrats here claim 55,0 900 votes for Pilsbury, but
concede the same relative increase for Cham
berlain., s.,.ft -s-.-s ,.. $500.
Mr.. Blaine, Chairman of the Republican
State Committee, has only claimed 10000 ma
jority asserting that Chamberlain's vote would
go as far above 10000 as Pillsbury's would ex-
coed 10000. Mr.. Blaines canvass of the State
was most thorough, and his figures have thus
far proved very accurate and reliable.

% ST. LOUIS Sept 15.-The parade of the
Knights Templar this morning was the finest
and most interesting event that has ever oc-
CURED in this city. Over thirty commander
les we're in the procession, representing nearly
twenty States. A greater number would have
been present but for the detention of the rail-
road trains and steamers. The streets along
the line of march were thronged with spec:a-
tors, who greeted the delegations with cheers,
waving of handkerchiefs and other manifes-
tations of welcome. Several residences were
handsomely decorated with Masonic emblems
The City Council unanimously rendered the
inequalities of the city to the various visiting
