Century.


Henry Clay left seat in the Senate for
one in the House, but after many years SER
vice at the other end Of the Capitol returned
10 the Senate chamber and exercised q
powerful control over the politics Of the Re-
public. Idolized by the Wing party, bis
wonderful powers Of personal magnetism,
and his rich, manly voice weuld enable him
to hold an audience fer hours. He made but
little preparation and used but few notes In
speaking; but when he wrote out bis remarks
for the press, his manuscript was remarkably
neat. without interlineations or blots. He
seldom INDUCED In classical illusions, and
bis occasional attempts to make quotations
Of English poetry were generally failures
On one occasion he used the well-known
phrase from Hamlet, "Let the CALLED jade
vince, our withers are unwrung," but mis-
quoted the last, calling IL "un-str1rag." Inc
gentlemen who sat on either side OF him
noticed the error, and simultaneously whis-
pered. aunwrung." This double prompting
confused "Young Harry Of the West" who
Strengthened himself, and with stronger en-
phasis repeated "unhung." This raised q
general laugh, at the close of which Clay
who had meanwhile ascertained his mistake,
shook bis head, and said with one OF his In
imitable smiles: "Ah! murder will out
unwrunr'sth the word" The fascination which
he exercised over all with whom he had per-
sonal intercourse-even his political adver-
saries-was remarkable, but he was imperi-
GUS and domineering, exactipg unconditional
and unqualified support as the price OF bis
friendship.

Illustrated Correspondence Ne,o North West.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, who, on the 18th
day Of April, was honored by the physicians
Of New York with grand banquet at Del
monics's, was born In 1909, in the old "gam-
brel rooted" house In Cambridge, Mass, OPP
posite the Harvard University buildings.
His father, Rev. Abiel Holmes, d. D., was
an eminent preacher, and was long pastor of
the First Congregational Church of Cam
bridge. DR.. Hslnes graduated at Harvard
In 1929. and, adopting the medical profess
sion, completed his studies in 1886. Up to
1S47 he filled the chair of Anatomy and
Physiology at Dartmouth, aud In the latter
year assumed a similar professorship at Har-
ward, since which he has resided contnu-
ously in Boston. 1t would be difficult to say
whether DR.. Holmes enjoys greater distinc.
tion as physician or man OF letters. Both
in the theory and practice Of medicine, he has
achieved the most brilliant success. He has
especially devoted himself TO the ihvestiga.
ton Of psychological problems, raised by
the interdependence of mind and matter, a
romance, " Elsie Venner," dealing with this
subject. The success of the Atlantic
Monthly was largely due to lis "Autocrat of
the Breakfast Table" and other prose pieces
which he contributed. His graceful and
polished style invests the drysst topics With
q peculiar charm, and make him one of the
best known and most popular of American
writers. Who has not heard of the Zone
Horse shay"
Though seventy -four years Of age, he Is
still hale aud hearty, looking as he has for
forty years past. Shrewd, observant, reflec-
tive, humorous, generous, kindly and tender,
he is one Of those to whom any one could
come for help. As Bishop Clark expressed
IL In his speech at the banquet, tue clerical
and medical professions had once been one,
| and remembering the many services of DR..
Holmes to the sick and respondent, he
thought they still were so. Physicians could
comfort the body, and clergymen could quiet
the troubled soul, but DIR. Holmes was
doctor and priest combined. A genial and

of the Harvard medical students whom he
has so long instructed. No man in America
is held in higher honor than Oliver Wendell
Holmes, whose name is an ornament to
| American literature as well as to the medi-
cal profession. The most distinguished cIti.
zens of the metropolis were present at the
Delmonico banquet, and in response to The
| universal welcome of himself, DIR. Holmes
read poem, Of which we give the closing
| lines
How can tell you my loving friends,
What light, what warmth your Joyous well
come lends
| To life's late hour? Alas! my song is sung,
Its fading accents falter on my tongue.
Sweet friends, if shrinking in the banquets
blaze,
Your blushing guest must face the breath OF
praise,
Speak not too well of one who scarce would
know
Himself TRANSPORTED in its roseate glow;
Say kindly of him what is, chiefly, true,
Remembering always he belongs to you;
Deal with him as truant, If you will,
But claim him, keep him, call him brother
still!

Terra-Cotta Lumber.

A comparatively new industry is that OF
the manufacture Of terra-cotta lumber, now
carried on near Perth-Amboy, \. j. The
lumber Is made of two parts Of saw dust to
one part OF clay. The clays used are the
dark -colored, rich aud highly tenacious ones
that overlie the white fre.clays. They must
be free from coarse sand or grit, but fine sand
Is not Objectionable. Spruce sawdust is
used. The constituents are thoroughly mix
ed in circular wheel-pits, by means Of wheels
armed with rotating knives trayersing the
mass somewhat as In the common brick
wheel pit. As little water as possible is put
In. The prepared mass Is carried by eleva'
tors from the grinding floor to the top boor'
where 1t is pressed by powerful steam press
into rectangular blocks convenient for split
ting and cutting into the ordinary sizes for
tiles and blocks. The blocks come from the
press on the second floor, are there dried by
artificial heat, and are then burned in circu-
lar kilns with fat domical tops and down.
ward draught. The firing is coal, but with
Increased heat the sawdust burns, and car
ries the baking to an end. The time for
burning varies from thirty-six to forty five
hours. Each kiln holds about thirty tons.
The product, which Is straw-colored, is slit
into tiles or cut into shapes for floors, cell
ings, walls, etc. The material is fire-proof,
light, (weighing only fifty eight 10 sixty,two
pounds per cubic foot, or about half the
weight Of brick), and so strong that cubes OF
two to five and quarter inches resist strains
of from 1885 to $4,000 pounds. II can be
sawed and planed like wood, and will hold
a nail. Il Is thus a valuable material fol-
partitions, floors, ceilings, roof.sheathing,
etc,

Invitation issued by JEFF Davis, when lac " as
Secretary Of War under General Frank
Pierce. One OF these invitations was sent
TO Lieutenant Derby, good draughisman
and merry wag, who sent In response pro-
position for having two-inch iron ring ap-
pended by a piece Of strong leather to the
seat of each enlisted mans trousers. Long
and formal specifications demonstrated the
utility of this ring. Each officer was TO carry
instead of q sword, long white ash pole,
with a hook on one end. by hooking int
the ring of private he could be kept In the
line of battle II he was disposed TO hang
back or caught If he attempted to run away.
The ring would also be useful In the artil-
lery service for draft purposes, and In the
cavalry men could be locked to other rings
in their saddles and so kept from falling of.
The illustrations which accompany the speci-

dragons padlocked into their saddles and
artillery men with cannon-prolongs hitched
TO their ring, hauling huge pieces OF artii-
lery up steep heights.
1t was very funny, and the clerks In the
War Department enjoyed some hearty laughs
over 1t, but when 1t reached the Secretary be
became indignant and regarded 1t as an in.
suit. He ordered charges and specifications
TO be drawn up and a court-martial was actu-
ally ordered, when it came to the ears Of
Governor Marcy, then Secretary of State
who was level headed and who advised Da'
Wis TO let the matter drop. He might convict
Derby and dismiss him from the service, but
he would be laughed at from one end OF the
country to another. Davis took the advice,
and Derby's Suggestions" are still to be
found on the files Of the War Department.
