Great Men Quarrelling About Bacon
aud Greens.

Mr. Jefferson, having invited Patrick
Henry to dine at one OF his artistic
lcastS, the chCt doNrre of his celebrated
French cook, was mortified to find that
the Governor declined to partako of
each and every one of the elegant and
elaborate creations of the accomplished
lrcnchman's art. At last, having run
through the carte, the President begged
that GOV. Henry would say what he
would have. 81 will thank YOU, sir,
for some bacon and green's WAS the
easy reply. Mr.. Jefferson could hardly
restrain his surprise at so novel de-
mand, and begged that the Governor
would excuse him on account of his long
absence from Virginia, for forgetting
that there was such dish still in de
mand among civilized people rs "bacon
and green's" Mr., Henry never forgot
the reproUl, and when he returned TO
Virginia, he denounced Mr.. Jefferson a,
"a traitor to his natural Victuals ON the
other hand, Mr.. Jefferson lett ON record
his opinion of Patrick Henry, "as man
of low tastes and vulgar associations"

OF the marriage of Napoleon and
Eugene it is recorded that a roman
tic incident seemed to decree that the
Montiios and the Napolcons should be
united. The story is Of Josephine's
betrothal ring, and is in this wise:
Eugenie's father, while serving in the
first Napoleon's army, resided in
Paris. In 1909, a little girl, Maria
Montiio, about three years old, went
to play IN the TuilIeries with her
nurse. There she met a little boy
who gave her a gold ring. As the
children were strangers to each other,
and did not meet again, the owner
of the ring remained unknown, and
so the little Maria kept ii for a play
thing. The ring was Josephine's and
the little boy was Louis Napoleon,
who had run away with the ring. The
loss of the ring was a bad omen to
Josephine, for year afterward she
had to resign in favor ofanother, Lit
tie Maria kept the plaything till she
grew up. At sixteen years of age she
married, and became the mother Of
Eugenie, whose birth took place May
5, 1926. Her mother engraved this
date on the ring she had worn so
long herself, ana when Eugene was
older, gave it to her. When quite a
child, Eugene went to London on q
visit; there she became acquainted
with Louis Napoleon, who saw the
ring with the date and Josephine's
name on it, and knew it had belonged
to her. From this circumstance
Louis looked upon the little Montijo
as attached to his house, and twenty
years afterward, it became q fact.
After a time, Eugenie's mother came
to regard the token as of great impor-
tance, and formed a plan Of bringing
the two families together. That was
the secret of so lovely a woman as
Eugene remaining single till the age
of twenty-six. A crown awaited her
which was never lost sight of.

How DANIEL WEBSTER PREPARED Hrs
SPEECHES one of the debates in Con-
gress, which suddenly called Daniel Webster
TO his feet he made q brief but eloquent
| speech, apparently without any opportunity
for rrevious preparation. In the course al
his remarks he threw out the following SEN
.ence, which has ever since been admired as
one of the most harmonious and expressive in
the English language. He was speaking OF
our military conflict with Great Britain :
s'0ur fathers raised their flag against pow
er to which, for purposes of foreign conquest
and snbjugation, Rome, in the height of her
glory, is not to be compared power which
has dotted over the surface of the whole globe
with her possessions and military posts,
" hose morning drum beat following the sun
in its course and keeping pace with the
hours, circles the earth with one continuous
and unhroken strain of the martial airs of
England" As be sat down, one of the Sena-
tors congratulated him upon his speech, and,
alluding to the abnvc passage, said that to
him it was inconceivahle how Mr. Webster,
in speech so manifestly unprecedented.
could have formed so perfect and so beautiful
a sentence, which with hours of study he
could not improve. Mr.. Webster replied
that the passage was not extemporaneous
that, in his summer vacation he had visited
Quebec. and. when standing on the massive
and almost illpregnable citadel there, look
ing out upon the wordrous scene of national
grandeur and of natures loneliness spread
before him, the idea occurred to his mind.
lie Immediately took his seat rpon gun.
and. with pencil and paper. sketched the
thought in the most appropriate language he
could, at the moment, command. Upon ar
irving at bis hotel he sat down at his leisure.
aid wrote it, and re-wrote it, with many in
terlineations and erasures, until he had
modelled it into the farm of words which sa-
tisied him. he then laid il aside. in bis reten-
tive memory, to he used when the occasion
should offer. The opportunity arose upon
that day.

Laughingly calls unto his cnmrade neighbor

But in his eye mist unwonton rises,

And pauses In q tear.
Some boyish vision Of his eastern village,

Where golden harvests follow quiet tillage
Above peaceful soil.

RExARKABLE PREDIcrroNs.- following
extract, which writer for the Cincinnati En-
quirer quotes from page 80 Of Mr.. Calhoun g
works, and which was written in 1919, reads
like history rather than prediction
'sif it (emancipation) should ever be effect
ed il will he through the agency Of the FEEDER
al Government. controlled by the dominant
power Of the Northern States of the Confedera-
cy against the resistance and struggle Of the
Southern. 1t can then only be effected by the
prostration OF the white race; and that would
necessarily engender the bitterest feelings of
hostility between them and the North. But
the reverse would lie the case between the
blacks of the South and the people of the
North. Owing their emancipation to them,
they would regard them IA friends. guardians
snd patrons, and centre accordingly all their
sympathy in them. The peonle of the North
would not fail to reciprocate and to favor
them instead uf the whites; under the infu-
ence of such feelings. and impelled by fanati-
cism and love of power. they would not stop
Mt emancipation. Another step would he TIA
ken-to raisa them to political and social
equality with their former owners by giving
them the right of voting and holding plhlic
offices under the Federal Government. We
see the first step towards it in the bill alrea-
DIV alluded too vest the free blacks and
slaves with the right to vote on the question
Of emancipation in the District of Columbia.
But when once raised to an equality they
would become the fast political associates of
the North, acting and voting with them on
all questions; and by this political union be-
tween them holding the white race at the
South in complete subsection. The blacks
and the rroAirate whites that night unite
with them. wonld become the principal re-
cipients of the Federal Offices and patronage.
and would, in consequence, be raised above
the whites of the South in the political and
social scale. We would, in word. change
conditions with them-a degradation greater
than has yet fallen to the lot of free and
enlightened people. and one from which we
could net -ecare, should emancipation take
place (which it certainly will if not prevent
edl but by fleeing the homes of ourselves and
our ancestors, and by abandoning our coant-
ry to our former slaves, to become the per-
manent abode of disorder. anarchy, poverty,
misery and wretchedness.

Men are Observing You.

.
In one of the suburban towns, a
Sabbath-school teacher had very
fine class of boys. Most of them
were from wealthy families. One
of them was the son of a poor wild
ow who had to sew, it might be said,
almost day and night, to keep her
young family together. Ourteaclrer
had again and again observed lone
light shining brightly at late hours
from the window of that mothers
room, and then would -aoma- traap-
ing through his mind the words of
that refrain of Tom Hoods song,
Stitch, stitch, stitch The teacher
had taught his boys TO take off their
caps to him and to each other, as
he did to them, SO that he and they
were quite q marked feature Of the
village.
One day, Boston merchant was
walking past the school-room with
our teacher, when the pupils were
coming out. They tumbled out as
usual, and rushed heedlessly by our
teacher and his friend-an but one.
That was the widows son. He
raised his cap 80 politely,,it took
the merchants attention at once.
Why, what fine, well-bred ladr
said he. 2agsl s-s-s.
Yes, said the teacher, tand he is
the only son Of poor widow, who
is working herself to death to pre-
pare him for q place in. your store
or that of some other good man.
And she shall not work in yain,i
replied the merchant tijHKAli
Both turned at once repaired to
the widows room, and the merchant
engaged the lad in his store. Now
he is partner with him in a thriv-
ing business, and all from that one
act of good breeding. We leave off
as we began. Few of you children
who walk our streets have the faint
est conception of the number. of
persons-who are observing you, and
are really taking an interest in you.
By-and-by, perhaps, you may get
some faint idea of it when you as
pire to enter life as one of US. Then
if you have been one of those who
have been winning, day by day,
opinions, doors will open, perhaps,
quicker and wider than you expect

ting up; it is to walk in the garden,
and see the flowers open, and hear

new books; it is to see pictures and
hear music; it is to have Sundays;
it is to pray with the family morning

it is to belong to a town, and have
