Henry Clay in the House.

Henry Clay's control of the House, says writer, was almost supreme. AL though there were many of the ablest men in the country among the peoples representatives, particularly during the administration of MT. Munroe. I re- member to have heard distinguished member of the House from Massachu- sets, Mr.Gorham of Boston, express the MT. Clay as speaker would be dangerous to the liberties of the country, if exer- cised by man lacking in patriotism or integrity. His rulings were rarely dis puted and never set aside. Naturally arbitrary and overbearing, with unlimited confidence in himself, ,and @ commanding presence to set ones self against him. He put the clock in the hall back an hour and half on one occasion to pro- long tn session, that certain order of business might be completed. On an- other, when bill providing for series of internal improvements was under dis cussion, an appropriation for the Cum berland road in which he was much interested, being one of the principal items, he made decision, or rather took position, which startled all refecting men, although it was silently acquiesed in. The debate, which was an unusual ly animated one, had extended through several days, the opposition being strong and determined, when a North Carolina strict constructionist moved the indef- nite postponement of the bill. The motion was perfectly parliamentary and not an unusual one. But MT. Clay regard. ing it as trick to kill the measure thundered out in his most commanding tones, "The chair will not entertain the motion of the member from North Caro lima. If he wishes to defeat this grea' measure, let him undertake it in fail and manly manner. Let him manifest his opposition in the proper form. Why
 not make 8 speech agalnst it? Th' House will listen patiently to whateve. he may have to say" The gentleman was so taken aback that he did not ope1 his mouth, and the debate proceeded
 without further interruption.

WRECKED BY CLOUD BURsr.-On a late Sunday, cloud burst on the upper waters of branch of Lick Creek, a small stream near the pike in Carroll county, and the waters came rushing down in volume four or five feet deep, taking all the rails, logs, and rubbish in it's way. At the forks of Lick Greek 8 strong frame B1ptist meeting-house was filled with people to hear the Rev. James V. Riley preach. The meeting was dis missed about I2 M., and part of the congregation dispersed; but as the rain was not over, about fifty person remain ed in the church to await the passing over of the cloud. In few minutes the water came down in a volume of several feet deep, and struck the meet ing-house with slch force as to burst off one side of the frame and move the building from it's foundation. A Mrs. Knox jumped out of the window with her boy, four years old, in her arms. The ch1ld fell from her embrace into the sl1rging waters and was drowned and she was barely saved from the same fate. It is believed the remainder of the congregation were only saved by the tearing up of the house.-Kentucky PQDeTS

TIE CHICAGO GRAIN CORNER. Chi cago paper says the collapse of the cor. ner in wheat sent that commodity down to $l. 10, being decline in "A hours of 49 cents. The widest rumors are afoat regarding failures, but nothing definite can be ascertained until pending con- tracts are settled. A list of IA unsound firms has been made up, and an evening paper gives the names of five that have judge estimates at $s2, ,50o, 900 the amount extracted from the "shorts," while a capital of only $75o, 900 was used in the operations of the corner. The collapse is due to the refusal of the national banks to extend aid to the Syndicate. A vet eran operator declares that the result will be more disastrous to the Board than the great fire. The corner was certainly the greatest ever attempted here. The wheat market has resumed steady tone, several heavy speculators purchasing for cash at $1.15.

MORE OF THEM.-Two more cases of accia ent from playing with fire arms. They are becoming so common that we shall cease to make record of them soon. The first case was where one Mrs. Mur- ray, of San Francisco, playfully pointed a revolver at the head of a little girl. Of course she thought it was not loaded. But it was. Moreover, it went off. Furthermore, the little girl was shot dead. Second case: 8 boy of thirteen, while in a shooting gallery in New York city, took rife (which, of course he thought unloaded) from the rack, and pointing it playfully at little girl four years old, said, 1T will shoot you" He did shoot her, and she died. Who wants to have an "unloaded " piece of firearms pointed at him in jest :?

Loves Farewell.

Since there's no help, come let us kiss and part Nay, have done, you get no more of me; And am glad, yea glad with all my heart That thus so cleanly myself can free; Shake hands forever, cancel all our vows, And vixen we meet at any time again, Be it not seen in either of our brows That we one jot of former love retain. Now at the last gasp of loves latent breath, When his pulse failing, passion speeches. lies, When faith IS kneeling by his bed of death, And innocence is closing up his eyes, Now if thou wouldst, when all have given
 him over, From death to life thou might'st him yet re-
 cover!

WAGES AND LIVING IN CALTFORN1A.-A letter from "Farmer's Wife, at Mendon, Fl Dorado Co.,, California, exposes good deal of the humbug about high wages in California: I have son 23 years old. He never uses tobacco or any kind of spirits, and is a desirable hand in the harvest field. He went to San Jose last May, as we were able to get along without him on our farm. He soon wrote me that wages were low, as the farmers were working Chinamen. Thirty dollars is all they have given month in the Santa Clara Valley the past seven years, except two months, when they clip their grain and while the thresher is going. Then they will give $40 to two or three hands among twenty :; the rest get $2 day !; and at the end of the month, the men that have been getting $2 day have not as much money as those who get $40 a month. The reason is, the machine breaks, and the day hands have no work and no pay but they have to eat. In the morning, they are all called up at 4 o'clock, and hurried to the field by sum- rise; in at 12, and out again at 1, and work as long as it is light enough to see a head of grain. It is often 10 o'clock be- fore-they get their supper and get to bed. This, tell you, I know. have lived in it and seen it all. California is glorious place for those that come here with plenty of money. They intend to get labor be- low $1 day as soon as they can. As soon as harvest is over, they say there is labor on the railroad. Yes, at just $1 a day, and board yourself. I have had men stop, nearly worn out, and out eff money, and stay all the night, that had been to get work on the railroad. I have been in California ten years. This is the eighth season on a ranche; until this year I have lived in San Jose. I have travelled in this State. and know all l wish to of this beautiful land.

THE DA1RY.-In New York and Penn sylvania, says correspondent, farm stock is pastured about onehalf of the year, and it certainly is matter of great importance to know how to realize the most profit from the land devoted to this branch of farming. The dairymen are generally in favor of pel manent pastures, though there is now and then one among them who has found out by trial the greatly increased yield of grass on newly seeded lands but the tendency among these men is to measure their years work, not so much by determining the products per acre of their farms, but rather the pounds of cheese or butter made per COW. I never heard dairy man state, of bis own accord. the amount of money his farm paid by the acre, but I bave constantly heard of COWS paying from s5O to $100 each for the years business.

A Melancholy Story.

Anna Soloman, aged twenty eight, comely looking woman, committed sui eide by hanging herself with clothes line. Deceased was married about three years ago to pedIer named Israel Solo, mon, who, six months after their union, told her he was going South to better his fortunes, and left her to the care of her parents, Levi and Sarah Cohen, who keep dry goods store and are reputed wealthy. Shortly after his departure for New Orleans Anna gave birth to a girl who was named Sarah, and who survives her mother. While laid up in her confinement her parents received a letter from Solomon, saying he was tired of their daughter and intended to put her away. MT. and Mrs. Cohen were afraid to break the news to their daugh- ter, as they knew she loved her husband dearly, and put off the intelligence till she recovered Mrs. Cohen was on the several times, but could not summon courage enough for the task, and finally, after consulting her husband, it was deemed best to tell her Solomon was dead. Mrs. Solomon bore the suppos- ed afliction sorely, and was for several weeks an invalid. When she become calmer she donned widow g weeds and devoted herself to the care of her child.
 It is not known whether Soloman had an idea that by making up with his wife he would come in for share of the old peoples property, or whether he found the old affection for Anna reviv. ing, but the fact remains that fort night ago he wrote her letter from New Orleans full of inquiries about her and her child and requested her to write to him. Anna had just returned from Detroit, where she had made the ac- quaintance of young man who had im- pressed her favorably, and with whom she contracted an engagement of mar riage. The cruel news from New Orleans and the deception on the part of her parents, and the mystery sur rounding her husbands disappearance, proved too much for her and she in a few days showed unmistakable signs of insanity. She was closely watched, but during the temporary absence of her mother she got clothes-line, fastened it to hook behind the basement door, and stepped off a bed near by into etern- ity.-NeaO York Paper.

THE DIAMOND FEvER.-The latest re- port from the Arizona diamond fields is that party which thoroughly explored the so-called diamond region found an abundance of rubies, sapphires, and crystals which resembled diamonds, but which were simply quartz. If the diamonds have already turned into worthless quartz, 1t will hardly do for those who have taken stock in the dia- mond mining companies to console themselves by faith in rubies and sap phires. There is no security that the latter will not turn into cheap agates and cornelias, and the whole story of the priceless gems of Arizona prove to be the result of ignorance and fraud. No one has yet explained why men who can pick up diamonds without number should content. themselves with securing sam ples of the precious gems, and then pro ceed to form stock companies with the view of selling their invaluable posses sions at rate very far below the market price of half 8 dozen of their best gems.
 RUSSIA AND CHNA.-A letter from St. Petersburg in the Schlesische Z5itung says that Russia is preparing for war with China. The territory of Kouldscha, on the western frontier of the latter country, was, as is known, occupied by the Russian troops last year, and China now intends to regain possession of it. The Mahommedan population, however, are SO hostile to the Chinese government, that they declare they will put to death any Chinese official who appears in the country: This would of course lead to a conflict, in which Russia will doubtless take the part of Kouldscha against its so-called oppressors. The Government at Pekin seems to be already anticipa ting such contingency, for it is build fling ironclads and employing 1,500 men daily in the preparation of guns and ammunition, and has sent agents among the Russian Khirgis to induce them tc resume their old alliance to China.
