One Of Clay's Stories.

Gen. Dearborne, of Boston, was
guest at this dinner to Lafayette. At
that day gentlemen, especially lawyers,
were much in the habit of taking snuff,
and in this habit the General had so
long INDUCED, and to such an extent,
that he had almost entirely lost his
voice. Mr.. Clay was also fond of
snuff, 30 fond that he would never
carry box, lest he should indulge the
habit to such excess as TO lose his voice
his splendid, silver-toned, melodious
voice. There was, however, q tobacco
store on Pennsylvania avenue, where
he usually stopped on passing to get q
pinch Of fine maccaboy. Passing the
place the morning after the great din
ner in company with Gen. Dearborne,
he stopped, as usual, inviting his friend
in to test the quality Of Mr.. Tobacco
nist's snuff. As they were shutting
away Gen. Dearborne remarked that
snuff injured some mems voices, "but,
said he, with what little vocal power he
had left, 1T has never affected mine in
the least" Mr.. Clay used to relate
this anecdote in great humor, initiating
in doing so, Gen. Dearborne's piping
tones, to the infinite amusement of his
companv.-B0ston Budget.

Reptiles In DISGUISE,

Everybody is fond Of birds, but It is
possible that some people might like
them less il they believed them to be
only reptiles in disguise. Now, Sir
John Lubbock, addressing the British
Association in 1881, said: ut seems to
be generally admitted that birds have
come down to us through the Dinosau.
rians lWonder-lizards); and. Us Huxley
has shown, the profound break once
supposed to exist between birds and
reptiles has been bridget over by the
discovery Of reptilian birds and bird

modified reptiles" Popular likes and
dislikes ore no disproof Of relationship.

The Old swindle.

Alfred Clock, a wealthy retired rea
estate dealer of New York City was made
the victim of baneo steerer on Thurs.
day. About a year ago he sustained q
stroke Of paralysis, and he has since gone
out alone but seldom. On that day,
however, he was alone in a Fourth ave-
nue. car, when accosted by well dressed
young man, who gave his name rs
Ltokes, and said that he knew Mr.
Clock. The latter was induced to ac-
company the young man to a gambling
house, where he lost $50 in cash, then
S129, for which he drew a check, fol-
lowed by another for 5000, another for
500, and the last OF all one for $4,000
on the Fifth Avenue Bank. He left the
gambling-house, went to the bank, and
drew 81, 500, with which he, in company
with two men, returned to the gambling
house. There he handed over the 81, 500,
getting back only the check for S129.
When he returned home he related his
experience to his daughter, Mrs. Mese-
role, and her sons. The police were in /
formed, and on Monday William Edwards
was arrested as one of the men who ac-
companied Mr.. Clock to the bank. He
was identified by the cashier, and |
was committed at the Yorkvlle Police |
Court on a charge Of larceny.
