Lifting a note.

Henry Clay had large and expensive
family, and he keenly felt his poverty,
while he lost no opportunity of express
ing his gratitude to friends, known and
unknown, for all kinds of fsvors. The
day upon which Mr.. Webster made his
celebrated speech, in March, 1850, he
was highly eulogizing it at dinner, when
some one asked him if he did not think
Mr.. Webster's influence had been great
ly impaired by his allowing certain
wealthy men in Massachusetts to settle
an annuity upon him for abandoning his
practice In the courts so as to devote
more time to public affairs. Mr.. Clay
responded In view of the manner in
which my note was paid at banE in
Kentucky, [ do not think [ ought to
speak upon that subject. With difficult
ty had raised the money to pay the in
crest when went to the hank to ask a
renewal. The cashier told me [ had no
note there. / asked him what had be-
come of it, and he said he was instruct
ed to answer no questions. And never
have been able to find out who paid it;
but, " turning to Judge Conrad. of New
Orleans, he said: Judge, [ always sup.
posed you had something to do with that
matter. T" TO which he responded !:
Whether I or any one else had any
thing to do with the matter, you will
never know" Mr.. Clay then said: "In
view of my many opponents, am as
thankful for the secrecy as the money :;
but, when am free from public life, /
am going to insist upon knowing who
were such benefactors." When some
one said: "Mr. Clay. your friends will
never let you be free from public life. :"
"In that view, gentlemen, said he, ''bear
witness to my inexpressible gratitude to
my friends, not only for their favor, but
for their manner of bestowing it )" add
ing that there was but one unpleasant
thing about it, that it was the only pres
ent that he had ever received that he
could not divide with his friends. Here
Judge Conrad observed "That need
not trouble you, as you had literally di-
yided the proceeds before you gave the
note" You are right" says Clay
the note was given principally to take
up the paper of friends which had in
dorsed. LONG John Wentuorh.

Girls ShOnlG Gain a knowledge of
Housekeeping.

BY oil means let the girls learn how to
cook. What right has girl to marry
and go into house of her own unless
sac knows how to superintend every
branch of housekeeping, and she cannot
properly superIntend unless she has some
practical knowledge herself. Most men
marry without thinking whether the
woman of his choice is capable of cook
ing him meal, and it is a pity he is so
shortsighted, as his health, his cheerful
ness, and indeed his success in life de-
ponds in very great degree upon the
kind OF food he eats; Al fact the whole
household is influenced by their diet.
Feed them on fried cakes, fried meats.
hot bread and other iDdigestible viands.
day after day, and they will need medi.
cine to make them well. A man viii
take alcohol to counterfeit the evil effects
of such food, and the wife and children
must be physicked.
Let all the girls have share in the
housekeeping at home before they
marry; let each superintend some de-
partment by turns. 1t need not occupy
half the time to see that the house has
been properly swept, busted and put in
order, or to prepare buildings and make
dishes, that many young ladies spend in
reading novels that enerYate both mind
and body and unfit them for everyday
life. Women do not as a general rule
get pale faces by doing housework.
Their sedentary habits, in overheated
rooms, combined with ill-chosen food.

mothers used to pride themselves on
their housekeeping and fine needlework.

Mammoth Cave,

Ones general idea of a cave is that of
an open space under ground, or in a
mountain side. Mammoth Cave is made
up of passages, avenues aud tortuous
crooks rather than of vast open spaces.
You can take the short route (seven
miles), to be done it two hours, the long
Sixteen miles), to be done In four, or the
combined, to be done in from five to
twelve or more. We chose the COM
bined. There are avenues down which
one could drive a coach and four if fairly
cleared up on the floor. There are
places that are mere cracks, Justly named
+" fat mans misery" tall mans abase-
ment," and "corkscrews." Here is the
River Styx, Lake Lethe and Echo River,
running under all arch so low that
little rise in the water renders passage
impossible. Sometimes it rises unex-
pectedly and leaves parties in the dark
beyond the arches unable to return till
the water subsidies. I saw the eyeless
fish of these dark rivers their principle
use in this world being to serve DR..
Bushnell for an illustration i'll his SER
mon on "the extirpation of unused
faculties. "
Here and there amid these long pas
sages are open spaces called "domes,"
where the water-carved rock rises ninety,
or a hundred, or a hundred and thirty
feet from the floor. When thase pieces
are lighted mp by the brilliant Bengal
lights they are both weird and grand.
The variety of formations in the cave
surpasses any thing / have ever wit
messed. In most caves the stalactite
and stalagmite systems are easily under
stood, but the lower ends are delicately
grooved in various directions, by what
process it is impossible to imagine. In
termingled with these ham-like figures
are yariously sized gutte, as delicately
cut as those of the Greeks OH the
Parthenon.
In some parts of the cave the gypsum
has crystallized into snow-balls that gilt
ter over the whole roof in other places
there are delicate flowers, some eight
inches in diameter. The stalactite pill
lars are comparatively few, but exceed
ingly curious. In one place half
dozen form a kind of bower in which
four couples have been married. The
first bride had promised her mother not
to be married while she lived On earth.
A very foolish promise, and this was her
way to keep it, and also get married.

Egbert and Nogbert.
'Prithee?"

+" Prithee?
"'Sdeath /"
Two fierce and slightly intoxicated
| knights of the Red Cross had met in the
middle of a wide lane leading to the
browning castle OF Sir Philip De Lanci-
tolum Catnip.
Both had recently returned from the
| Crusades, where they had been tempo
rarlly engaged in hurrah with the Sar-
icons.
There were several gallons of bad
blood between these two naughty
knights, for, as luck would have it, they
Doth loved the same girl. Human ma
cure has changed but little in the six
hundred dusty years which have rolled
away since the events herein recorded
ccurred in Mellow Old England. OF
hose chivalric days nothing is left but
mellow old Englishmen The giddy
oung thing in question was Lady Viola
Jatnip, only daughter of Sir Philip.
She was daisy.
So Egbert said "Prithee ~
And Nogbert said '''Sdeath !"
This meant business.
Egbert laid his lance in rest, and
swung his glittering battle-ax on high.
Nogbert followed suit, and they rushed
upon each other like hungry boarders
'reaking for the dining-room. This ter
rible matinee occurred at $50 p. M, on
cool day in the latter part Of Deem
Der. The two knights fought until sun
down. Then they retired to sheltered
hooks on each side Of the lane, muttered
few appropriate last words, wound
their watches and died.
When the sun arose on the following
morn, the Lady Viola ambled slowly
| down the lane on white palfrsy. She
arrived at the stamping ground, and saw
| the dead knights disposed in negligent
attitudes near the hedge. Horror
stricken she gazed from one cold, pulse
less corpse to the other cold, pulseless
corps. Then she passed to calculate
ooh, Egg, this is terrible! Oh, Nog,
this breaks me quite all but too up

The Electric Boy.

The Australian boy has arrived from
Melbourne. When eight years old he
gave evidence of wonderful electric
power that has kept developing since.
The only food for which he cares is that
which contains phosphorus. When not
sufficiently charged with magnetism he
complains of nervousness and headache.
When he goes to sleep the supply of
electricity becomes slightly diminished,
but is much more constant than during
his waking hours. He is now twenty
two years old. He stands upon mat
ting made of cocoanut threads, and al
lows the curious to examine his clothing
in order to convince them that no cleo
trical apparatus is concealed about his
person. When he touches any one a
current of electricity goes from him into
the other, producing the sensation that
arises from contact with a galvantic bat
terry. He told reporter that he was al
ways charged in the morning, but that
during the day he gave off SO much
power that it left him completely ex-
hausted IN the evening. -Nes0 York Let.
