Goodness in a irving Situation,

Every Other Saturday.
The GOODNESS and self possession of that very
remarkable man, Sergeant 5. Prentiss, was
strikingly illustrated in the following anecdote
Of his second duel with the late Henry S. Foote
General Foote) which is taken from his memoir
by his brother. The meeting occurred on the
right bank of the Mississippi river, opposite
Yieksburg, and at the first fire Mr.. Premises
pistol snapped, while General Foote missed,
shooting over him. This increased the eager
ness of the large crowd assembled to witness the
affair to such a degree that they pressed up on
each side of the line until there was left quite a
narrow space, scarcely room enough for the pas
sage of the balls After the parties had resumed
awaiting the word for a second fire, everything
being as still as death, Mr. Prentiss observed a
little boy who, anxious to see 1.-The fun" was
climbing sapling in his rear, and said to him.
'My son, you had better take care; General
Foote is shooting rather wild"

Mr. Clay made good Secretary of State but
his place was in Congress, for he was formed by
nature for popular orator He was tall and
thin, with a rather small head and gray eyes,
which peered forth less unanimously than would
have been expected in one possessing eminent
control of language. HIS nose was straight, his
upper lip long and his under jaw light His
mouth, of generous width, straight whom he was
silent, and curying upward at the corners when
he spoke or smiled, was singulary graceful, in
dicating, more than any other feature the elias
tic play of his mind When he enchanted large
audiences, his features were lighted up by a win
ming smile, the gestures of his long arms wer
graceful and the gentle accents of his mellow
voice were persuasive and winning Yet there
has never been a more imperous dcspot in poti-
cal affairs than Mr.. Clay He regarded himself
as the head-center of his party 'Iietat c'est

How a Taunt Originated.


New Jersey is sometimes jocularly referred to
as a foreign country by persons who do not
know the origin of their little joke. After the
downfall of the first Napoleon, his brother Jo-
seph, who had been King of Spain, and his
nephew, Prince Murat took refuge in the
United States, bringing with them great wealth
Joseph tried to induce several States to pass an
act to enable him, as an alien, to hold real es-
tate, but they all refused. Finally the New Jer-
sey Legislature granted to him and Prince Mu-
rat the privilege of purchasing land. They
bought tract at Bordentown, built magnificent
dwellings and fitted them up in royal style with
pictures, sculptures, etc. Joseph Bonapartes
residence the finest in America. He was
liberal with his money and made many friends.
The Philadelphians we're envious of the good
fortune of the Jerseymen in securing the two
millionaires, and tainted them with being for
eigners" and with i'm porting the King of Spain
to rule over them. The taunt stuck, and is still
repeated by many people who have no idea OF
how itoriginated

WONDERFUL NASSAU.
Singular Island Where Vegetation Never
Dies and Grain Fields Are Unknown.

Rehoboth Sunday Herald.
1t is curious to think that, in country where
vegetation never dies and everything is perpet-
ually green. the people have never seen field of
grain or haystack, have never watched the
earth turn over and under by a pillow; never
heard the click of a harvester or the hum of a
threshing machine; never listened to the muir
muring of q brook, watched tho flow of
river. These things are unknown in Nassau.
No grain is raised there there is no field big
enough to make it worth while for one thing
and where the land has been cleared and bro
ken aud made productive it is too rich in its
capacity to raise more valuable things. There
is very little grass. Here and there are little
patches of it, but almost always where it has
been sown and carefully cultivated. All the
flour used has to be imported AS most of the
horses come from America so their hay and
feed is taken from here, too except such green
stuff as they pick up incidentally Our modern
farm machines, being unnecessary there, are I'M
known and unheard of.
There are no rivers, and in travelling over al
most all parts of the island of New Providence
do not remember TO have seen even the smallest
brooklet. But it is anything but barren. any
thing but desolate. Take field there that is
nothing but solid mass of coral rock and lime
stone, and if let alone for year or two il be
comes covered with all sorts OF vegetation that
no man could tell whether the bottom of it was
sand or clay, or rock, what. If land is not
carefully cultivated all the time it soon disap-
pears beneath the growth of trees and bushes
barren rock in less than two years becomes
flower garden if let alone. 1t is a common say
ing that the land had to be titled with a pckaXe
and trees and vegetables set out with crowbars.
There is good clay soil on some parts of the
island. Some of the pineapple fields were of
rich red clay strong enough to raise grain or
anything planted in them. But they were ex-
ceptions Only here and there is red clay found
and all the rest is rock.

Washington Letter.
One of his senatorial colleagues, who knew
him intimately, said, to-day;
He was one of that class of men who go
through life gently and easily, without any
trouble TO themselves, treading in their pathway
only on flowers, getting everything giving moth
ing beyond pleasant words and smiles. In the
twenty five years that ho sat in the Senate he
probably received moro invitations than any other
member OF that body, and was never known to
extend one. Presents We're showered upon him
None were given by him, and, as if to make
amends for keeping everything he got in his life
he seemed to have remembered ali his friends in
his will for it has been noted that no man that
could not take possessions with him has ever
scattered them further and wider among the
circle of his friends

Napoleon's Meanness.

of the first Napoleon which has just been pub
lished, with explanatory notes by Mr. Denis
Bingham, is very interesting reading, for they
form an excellent and authentic record of an OK
traordinary man, who was singular mixture of
the greatest talents and Of the meanest qualities
Napoleon is often reproached for his lies and
the phrase "menteur CONNIE uu bulletin" was
invented to characterize his official mode of an
nouncng his military successes. This have al
ways thought unfair for the object of general
is to deceive his opponent in many matters and
if this can be done by means of bulletin, why
should he not adopt this method The worst
trait in Napoleon was his jealousy of his own
generals, and his persistent endervors to lessen
their services in order to aggrandize his own.

more prodigiously widened the gulf be-

in the same length of time in any other
country in the world. 1t has Redeemed the
streets of our cities with blood. II has
raised the cry of Bread or Blood" in IA
country where every average child is born
to patrimony of ten acres of land and the
value of comfortable house. 1t has fired
the buildings. II has bred a race of
tramps, and race of dudes. 1t has made
a laughing stock of honest toll and frugal
husbandry. 1t has placed once free peo.
pie at the mercy of corrupt lobby, AT
whose feet their representatives crouch
like slaves. What time it has brought to
our laboring men who vote for those tools
of the lobby the pinched and haggard look
that monopoly alone can paint upon the
face of honest toll in any country, and of
all others in such country as this! That
men willing to work should suffer In such
a country as this ought TO make every
American blush with shame. Yet for six
long years, from '73 to 10, they and their
wives and little ones did suffer, and after
three short years of feverish prosperity
they are suffering again today.
