A better house Is now constructed for

Indeed, we have seen houses recently I'm

g. 800. which were as good as houses cost

owner or small capitalist, who not only
wants cheap house, but wants good one
also. The cheap houses of 1875 Is great

Harrison Gray Dyar, one of the claimants
for the honor of inventing the electric tele-
graph, died at Rhinebeck, N. Y, recently
In his SEVENTEEN year. He always claimed
that he erected his line on Long Island ten
years before Professor Morse began to talk
about his. DR.. Bell gave the following ac-
count of his invention in an Injunction suit:
'I was engaged with Harrison Gray Dyar
for many months in 184S, and often con-
versed upon the subject of his having in
vented an electric telegraph, and recollect his
speaking of having placed line Of wire at
an elevation around the race course at Long
Island to length which satisfied him that
there were no practical difficulties In carry

which, he stated to me- had been his inten-
ton. My understanding, derived rom MS

Just been telling me an incident connected
with Henry Clay's visit to Indiana many
years ago. 1t was long before there was
railroad, and his journey partook of the
character of triumphal pilgrimage,
swelled at every point by the citizens who
| hocked from far and near to get a look at
him. Hereabouts, his retinue consisted of
six carriages and a mounted guard of honor,
or forty men, augmented considerably at
Greenfield by delegation TO escort him to
| indianapolis. AS the csvalcade was leisurely
/ proceeding hither, a man and woman were
observed bringing a large tub and gourd
out OF farm house. to the side of the road,
J where they stopped and made signs for the
procession to halt. On closer view they
were found to be an old man and vener-
| able woman. The latter asked IL "Harry
| Clay" was in the crowd, and said she and
| her husband wanted to see him. Mr.. Clay,
who was in the first carriage, rose to his feet
| and, lifting his hat as courteously a. If he had
been In the presence of royalty, saluted them.
The woman exclaimed that she and her sold
man" were from "Eaintuck," and they rad
always said that If Harry Clay" ever passed
that way they would offer him a
| drink of their best cider. With this she
dipped the gourd into the tub, and, passing
It TO her husband, he handed il TO Mr.. Clay,
| who. with another courtly bow, quaffed the
delicious bsverage-for it was as delicious as
the rich, sweet juice of good apples could be
made. The gourd was then reilled and
passed from one to the other of the goodly
company, who, as they moved on. gave
three hearty cheers to their Kentucky
