The Beginning Of Summers Con-
0ressi0naI Career.

On the first day Of December, 1851,
Henry Clay spoke in the senate for
the last time, and General Cass pre-
sented the credentials of Charles
Sumner, who had been elected by one
Of the coalitions between the anti
slavery men and the democrats, which
gave the latter the local offices i'm
New York, Ohio, and Massachusetts,
and elected Seward, Chase and Sum
ner TO the United States senate. Soon
after Mr.. Sumner took his seat in the
arena which had been made famous
by the political champions of. the
North, the South, and the West, Mr..
Benton said to him. with a patroniz-
ing air, "You have come upon the
stage too late, sir. Not only have
our great men passed away, but the
great issues have been settled, also.
The last of these was the National
Bank, and that has been overthrown
forever. Nothing is left you, sir, but
puny sectional questions and petty
strifes about slavery and fugitive
slave laws, involving no national i'll
terests."
Mr.. Sumner had but two coadjutors
in opposing slavery and in advocating
freedom when he entered the senate,
but before he died he was the recog-
nized leader of more than two thirds
Of that body. He was denounced by
a leading wing newspaper Of Boston
when he left that city to take his seat
as ian agitator," and he was refused
place on any committee of the
senate, as being .'outside of any
healthy political organization;' but
he lived to exercise controlling intlu-
ence in Massachusetts politics and to
be the chairman of the senate COM
mittee on foreign affairs. He had
learned from Judge Story the value
Of systematic industry, and while
preparing long speeches on the ques.
tiOns before the senate he also APP
piled himself sedulously to the prac-
tical duties of senator, taking
especial pains to answer every letter
addressed to him.--Aprit atlantic.

The CIvdesdale Breed Of Horses.

Many Of the larger farmers of the
Northwest claim that this breed of
horses are valuable on the farm, be-
cause of their great strength. For
instance, they claim that a span Of
full.blood Clydesdale horses will
suffice for sulkey plow, while with
the common breed of farm horses. il
requires three horses to do the work.
The Clydesdale is hardy, tough
animal, of Scotch origin. The Duke
Of Hamilton, of Scotland, imported
stallion from Flanders, which cross.

height they frequently reach seven
teen hands; sometimes nearly up to
eighteen, and their weight is from
1 500 up to 1000 pounds, and occa-
sionally they will draw the beam
down at $500 pounds.
They are heavier boned than most
any other breed. In their native
country. bone-spavin, ringbone and
splints never trouble them. This is
owing to the great width, cordy and
hard limbs, and tho toughness and
solidity of the bones. The hoofs are
large, deep, nicely shaped, firm, fine
grained and tough. The body is long,
and the quarters immense. The
well.shaped neck is splendidly set on
magnificent shoulders. The strength
of the horse is very great. They are
rapid walkers.with or without load,
and are kind and gentle in DISPOSE
ton, but spirited, and are capable of
great endurance. 1t is claimed by
those who are acquainted with them,
that they are preferable to most any
other breed of the draft horses.

A Specimen Speech that ShOscs the
Or0t0ricaI POscer Of the Nesc
President

Boston Traveller.
In an argument delivered by Gen.
Garfield in the supreme court is the
following magnificent piece OF ora
tory:
Your decision will mark an era in
American history. The just and
final settlement on this great question
will take high place among the
great achievements which have i'm.
mortalized this decade. 1t will es.
tablish forever this truth, of inesti-
mable value to us and to mankind,
that republic can WELD the vast
enginery of war without breaking
down the safeguards Of liberty; can
suppress instruction and put down
rebellion, however formidable, with.
ont destroying the bulwarks of law;
can by the might Of its armed mil.
lions preserve and defend both ma.
tionality and liberty. Victories on
the field were of priceless value, for
they plucked the life of the republic
out of the hands of its enemies; but
Peace hath her victories
No less renowned than war;
and if the protection of the law shall
by your decision, be extended over
every acre Of our peaceful territory,
you will have rendered the great de.
cision of the century.

English Ignorance Of America
BY RICHARD GRANT WHITE.

BY RICHARD GRANT WHITE.
One striking trait of British Philis.
tinism is ignorance of other countries,
and chiefly ignorance of America.
To the Philistine this ignorance is
his most cherished intellectual treas
TIRE. He guards it carefully, and
plumes himself upon it. To enlarge
and confirm it, he reads the travels
of other Philistines in America, and
in some cases visits the States HIM
self, to return with a confusion of
mind and perversion of fact upon the
subject which is the occasion of pro.
foundest self-congratulation, which
makes him for the remainder of his
life an oracle upon American affairs
among his untraveled friends and
neighbors. Let me frankly confess,
however, that like ignorance and
confusion in regard to England
among natives of other countries is
sometimes courteously assumed by
the Phihstine. Some years before

did he get in? Why, he forgot HIM
