JAMES BoWIE.- Reverdy johnson used to
tell story OF Henry Clay, apropos OF himself.
| think in some previous letter have tod you
that Reverdy married cousin OF James, or
Jeans Bowie the inventor OF the Bowie
knife.
One day Henry Clay, who had arrived IN
Frederick, Maryland, BY stage coach from
Wheeling, met Reverdy johnson 10 the street
"Reverdy," he said, 81 have just had an
extraordinary acquaintance back ut Cumeer-
land. A man got hat my seat In the stage
coach, q little, knotty. ireckled fellow, and on
the next seat were man and his wife, and on
the third seat a couple Of big men.
We had no sooner started and got clear OF
Cumberland than one OF tho big men on tho
forward seat lit cigar He pulled and pulled
ill in ';ttle while the stage coach was iull OF
strong tlmes and the woman grew very sick,
She asked her husband to raise the window,
and still, unable to ear the smoke, told him
she must lean uDon his lap.
The husband leaned over and said to the big
man:
my wife is sick. Please do not smoke by
her side"
The big man smoked like blast chimney
and paid no heed whatever. The woman grew
fainter and coughed My blood was boiling,
but knew the man could double me up and
throw me out the window.
Suddenly the little being at my side leaned
forward. pulled bowie knife OUT of his coat
collar and said 10 the smok ny giant:
Eyes you damned son Ola pussy cat on. the
female sidei | am James Bow e. Throw
away that cigar or I'll split You in half apples
''fhe man, conc uied Mr. Clay, dropped
the cigar like an automaton, and we had not
word spoken for thirty miles,

EFFORTS FOR A COTTON SUPPLY
1t is said that the Cotton Supply Asso-
clation in England is preparing to make
great efforts to stimulate the growth and
trade in cotton from India. A rcsou-
tion was passed at late meeting ofthis
association, to the effect that the speedy
development ofthe railway system in In
dia is necessary in order to facilitate the
transportation of cotton in that country
and the importation of it..into England.
The reason given for this was the insult
ficiency of the supply from the Uuited
States, and it is said the stock of Ameri-
can cotton is not large enough to keep
the mills of Lancashire fully engaged.
Hitherto the great efforts and vast ex-
pendi,ure of money by England to meet
the falling off of American cotton con-
sequcnt upon the war, and the subse-
quent disorganization Of labor, have not
been adequate to the exigcncy, notwith-
standing the large increase which has
followed the stimulated production in
India and Egypt. American cotton is
still indispensable. Our long staple es-
pecially, SO far as is known has no sub
stitute in the world. There is a combi-
nation Of natural advantages here for its
production which is not believed to ex-
ist anywhere else. The cotton manu-
facturers of England have been chang
ing their machinery to suit the short
staple article of India and other coun-
tries. There will no necessity, however,
for such resort, the Baltimore Sun re-
marks, if there can be such restoration
of the Southern States to their normal
political relations as will inspire conf
dence, introduce capital enough to en-
ablethe planters to extend their planting
operations, and re-organize labor and
render it reliable Efforts, as is we'll
known, are making to introduce in the
South a large emigration of laborers
from China, but whether this shall prove
successful or not, there is labor enough
there now, if relieved from the demora!-
izing influences Of intermeddling politi-
cal adventures, to produce as a crop
of cotton as was raised in any year be-
fore the Columbia Ph9nir.

Teeth filled to a COMPOSITION,
FILLING that he prepares and has
used for the past ten years, as it can bere-
commended in all cases where the teeth
are so far decayed as to prevent their be-

of the teeth than Foils, it will be found
satisfactory in filling the badly decayed
front teeth, avoiding the unsightly ap-
pearance of the foil showing through
the thin plate of enamel. Being nearly
as hard as the bone of the teeth it will
prove serviceable in the masticating sur
faces of many teeth. Teeth filled several
years since have been found within
few weeks in nearly as good condi-
ton as when first filled.
