lNsrRucTlSG STATESMAN. Formerly very
large, weIl-known and somewhat noted billy
goat, roamed at large in the streets Of WASH
lngton, and the newspaper boys, boot-blacks
and street mps generally made common cnuss
against him. Henry Clay never liked to SEQ
dumb animals abused worried aud on ono
occasion, while passing down tho avenue, a
large crowd OF these nschievous urcbins were
Mt their usual sport Mr.. Clay with bis walk
| ing-s!ick, drove them away, giving them IA
sound lecture in the meanwhile As they
scanpered ana scattered in every direction,
Billy, seeing no one but Mr.. Clay within reach,
made charge on him. Clay dropped Bis cane
and caught his goatship by the horns. Tho
goat would rear np, being nearly rs high ns
the tall kentuckian himself, and the latter
would pull him down again. This sort Of sport
became lircsome and he could conceive of no
way III which he could free himself from tho
two horned dilemma so in his desperation he
sang out TO the boys TO know what TO do
One OF the smallest in the crowd shouted back:
Let 60 aud run, you darncd fool I" CLAY all
ways maintained that, though he signed tho
treaty Of peace at Client yet that ragged boy
knew moro than he did.
