From Henry ]. Raymond's daryl.
Until Mr.. Clay's acrimonious vio-
lence' drove him into the ranks Of
the opposition, Mr.. Tyler conducted
affairs with dignity aud ability. But
he had not been in Office a month
when Mr.. Clay insisted upon an an
swer to a question whether SIr. Tyler
intended to run for a second term.
And he pressed it so pertinaciously
and with such violence that Mr.. Tyler
said one day, jocularly "Mr. Clay, ]
have been SO much annoyed by this
that | believe | shall send for
Mr.. Southland, president OF the
senate, and resign at once.
This convinced Mr.. Clay
that Mr.. Tyler would stand again, and
from hat time he denounced him, and
droye him into the opposition, thus
blasting all the fruits Of the Wing vic
tory of 1910. He would have had the
same difficulty with General Harrison
had he lived. | spoke Of Mr.. Clay's
pressing for a denomination now, and
expressed surprise. Mr.. Webster said

that Mr.. Clay would be a candidate
so long as he should receive a nomina.
ton from a majority Of tho people in
the town of Lexington, and he be-
lieved it would prove true. The mere
pleasure of being talked of as a candi-
date, he said, was a positive gratifca-
ton, which became necessary to
many men, and grew stronger
with their age. Afterall, said he, what
will Mr.. Clay leave for future ages ?
His speeches contain nothing Of per-
manent yalue-all relating to temper
airy topics, and never discussingfunda-
mental principles. He is not an
instructed statesman-he knows moth
ing of the matters in that paper. we
have talked about and for what, said
he, will he be remembered? For his
brilliant, effective, popular eloquenee,
| suggested: Yes, said he, but how
much has hal availed Patrick Henry ?
1t is ephemeral, traditional, of little
value to any one. Mr.. Clay, he
thought, had always kept the Wing
party subservient to his personal am
bition, and seemed still disposed to do

of the signal service Office, which is
about eighty feet above the earth, and
in less than two minutes a coating of
ice was scooped of with a knife,
This should satisfy the most timid

Merchants who two days since

a Good morning, sir" did the same
thing here yesterday and to-day,
merely altering the phrase to How
are you by this timer
Dealers in cotton we're slow getting
to work to-day, all because no dis
patches came from New York, and
they were slow getting here from Liv-
erpool and New Orleans. In this fast
age, it is necessary for even the tele-
graph to hurry up if it wishes to
please the masses.
Migrants are already beginning to
appear n~umerously on the public

Mr.. Alex. Moore, Underwriters
agent at New Orleans, arrived from
Concordia, by the steamer Clinton,
this morning. He reports but one
case of the fever at that place on Sun
day last, and that was a Mrs. DR..
Blew, or similar name, whose husband
died some weeks ago.
Il wonder if the frost has anything
to do With setting these doctors and
other people crazy?'' said a we'll
known official this morning. The
sudden change from an epidemic to
good health is enough to set half of
the doctors, nurses and others who
have fattened on the fever business as
crazy as looms.
Even the spirits have been consulted
regarding the sewerage system pro-
posed here. A noted medium, closely
akin to one Of our nomadic court
judges, held frequent scances on the
subject for the benefit of Memphis
and others, while stars of the medium
circle in Eastern cities were also con-
suited and asked to throw light upon
the knotty problem. The result of
their revelations and advice will doubt
less be made public at the first public
meeting to be held for the considera-
ton of the subject.

Mr.. Elijah X. cleveland, of this

experience. During the war he was
wounded in the left wrist by musket-
ball at Sp~ottsylvania Court-house.

a careful examination Of the arm and
probed the wound, they were unable
to find the ball, and concluded that h
must have dropped out. He was
wounded in the leg at the same time.
for which he has been drawing a pen,
sion. The arm has been lame, and
was badly swollen for a time, and
within the past year the bullet, after
having remained in the arm for four
teen years, has made its appearance
under the left shoulder blade, where
there is now quite a large bunch. Mr..
Cleaveland called on Captain Small
yesterday, and stated hal he thought
he had a right to claim a larger nen-
sion, which will probably be granted
him.

The st. Gothard Tunnel is reported
to be within eight hundred and fifty
meters (about nine hundred and thir-
ty yards) Of being completed, so that
the contractors can probably complete
their work, as promised, in 1880. The
tunnel is nine miles long, and was
estimated to cost about $4,000 900.
The railroad for which it has been
built will run from Fluelen, and give
a rail route from Lucerne to Bellin-
zona,. and thence to Como. 1t will
open up an almost straight line from
Paris to Naples, by way of Milan,
Florence aud Rome. The road. apart
from the tunnel, is to cost 81, 900, 900,
and is to be paid for by Italy, Germany
and Switzerland. At present dill
gencies and private carriages carry
travellers over the mountains at great
cost, but with the corresponding ad-
vantage that the traveler gets a chance
to breathe the mountain air and see
the beautiful scenery, instead of being
whirled through a hole in the noun
tain.

Reed birds may be good roasted or
broiled, but there is a little finish
about a reed bird dumping which has
its charms. Eugene Sue tells about a
mighty hunter who in a wild boar nut
a turkey, in hal turkey a pigeon, and
IN that pigeon an ortolan, which alone
he ate. Reed bird dumplings may be
like this Take a reed bird and put
an oyster in him. Make a dough as
tora dumping and put him inside.
Boi! your dumping thoroughly, but
don't deyour the dumpling, only take
out the kernel, which is the reed bird
and the oyster. 1t was an old gunner
on the Delaware river, thirty years
ago, that cooked birds for me that wav.

The brutality Of a murder in Rock
county, Wisconsin, was eQualed only
by the clumsiness Of the attempt to
hide it. A hay stack on Edward
Fogarty's farm burned in the night,
and neighbors who gathered found in
the ashes the body Of Fogarty, easily
recognized, even his wooden leg being
consumed. A trail of blood led to
the house, where Christensen, the
murderer, was found with blood stains
on his garment aud the weapon, an
ak, in his room. Christensen was
Fogartys farm hand, and is supposed
to have done the deed with Mrs.
Fogarty's connivance, in order to
marry her.

A murder that for GOODNESS and
deliberation is not often surpassed is
reported from Breitenbach, Germany.
A married couple having quarreled,
the wife left the house, and for several
days stayed away, sleeping at night in
barns or wherever she found it con-
venieut. Meanwhile the husband re-
NAMED calmly at home. This indif-
ference exasperated the wife to a
pitch of diabolical hatred, and about
II o'clock one night she returned to
the house, and while her husband lay
asleep in an adjoining room went into
the kitchen, started a fire, filled the
kittle with water, and put it on the
stove, waited patiently until it
steamed, and then, taking it to her
husbands bedside, poured the con-
tents over him. scalding him SO badly
that he only lived a few hours.
