WHEN SHALL WE LOOK UPON HIS LIKE
AGAIN ?-Our thoughts we're carried back to
glorious Harry of the West" by an Incl
dent related to US day or two since by an
eminent lawyer from a neighboripg county,
in attendance upon the United States Court.
He was at Randolph Macon College, as a
student, when that institution was located
in MeCklenburg county. Mr.. Clay made a
speech at Raleigh, North Carolina, and two
UT three of the college boys walked sixteen
miles to railroad station near which the
great Commoner was to pass on his return
to Washington. Our friend, youth of SIX
teen, whose father was an ardent Wing, en-
joyed the privilege of shaking hands with
Mr.. Clay, as did also his companions. On
their return to college, they proceeded to
the village of Boydton, mile distant, and,
as bcyish freak, mounted the courthouse
steps and made proclamation that they had
that day shaken hands with Henry Clay,
and if anybody desired to shake hands with
them before old Harry's shake wore off they
could come forward. Some who heard them,
came up IN good humor and shook hands,
and the contagion of the patriotic pleasantly
spread until every store in town was closed,
and the boys had a perfect ovation of hand
shaking and congratulations.

netism and popularity of Mr.. Clay. His
friends and admirers we're drawn and knit
to him by feeling of almost personal affec-
ton. 1t has no counterpart in modern poll
tics. The Wings respected and admired
Webster, but they loved and almost wor.
shipped Clay. How well do we remember
having seen old men shed tears-actual
tears-when the tidings came of his defeat
for the Presidency in 1914. Shall we ever
have another Henry Clay? The centuries

A HARD WINTER ON wHEAT.-The wheat
crop of the country in the North and North
west is said to have suffered very severely
during the past Winter, and of the truth of
this there seems to be no reasonable doubt
1t is also stated that there will be short
crop at the South, in which event it will
be found that farming, as contra. distin-
guished from planting, is the true form for
our agricultural industry to t IKE. He who
raises only cotton or tobacco, expecting
with his ''money CROP to buy his subss
tence stores must always suffer when b, cad
and provisions are high in price, This con
dition promises to exist during the present
year, and IN this fact planters will find a
strong argument to enforce the sound idea
of diversified Industries. When a man
makes his farm or plantation self-support-
ing he is independent, and can then begin
to accumulate wealth; but as long as he
fails in this his operations must be largely
speculative. And the speculative elem nt
is such, that although he may succeed in
his special line of production, the failure of
other crops, in OF er parts of the country,
may so enhance his cost of living as to de-
YOUR his profits, and leave him in debt

The Prospects Of Wheat.

It seems to be conceded, says the Lynch
burg Vrginian, that the wheat crop this
year must be short one. In those por-
tons of Virginia from which we have
heard, there will undoubtedly be a falling
off, attributable to two causes; first, the
long drought of last year which rendered
the seeding of wheat difficult in some cases,
and impossible in others; and second, the
unusual severity of the winter now closing.
In the West, it seems but little If any bet.
ter, for, in addition to the causes already
cited, the low price of wheat tended to di.
minish the acreage of wheat sown last
Fall, although that might be partially
made up by the sowing of Spring wheat
in the West. The New York Herald, on
this subject remarks:
In certain parts of the West it is re.
ed by the cold weather, and while it is moi
possible to determine what extent of the
wheat area has thus been affected, enough
is known to warrant the belief that the de.
ficiency in produce in the new crop, as
compared with last years crop, will e
large. This may lead to important results,
for it was only one of the causes, and not
one of he most active, that are tending to
short wheat crop this year. The great
fall in the price of wheat cannot but be a
factor in the situation, for it will discour-
age the breaking in of new wheat lands,
and will also lead to the devoting of area
hitherto under wheat to other crops. The
season is not sufficiently far advanced to
determine to how great an extent this
movement has occurred. 1t is reasonably
safe to say that its results will be very
marked"

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND AND THE COLOR
ED PEoPLE.-The Washington Post has the
following:
After the public reception the President
received nthe library delegation from the
Washington conference ofthe M. E. Church,
colored. He received the visitors cordially,
and, after listening to the greeting from the
chairman of the delegation, said that he
had been given to understand that the col
ored people were afraid of oppression under
bis administration. He wished to take the
present occasion for assuring them that I'M
der the new administration their condition
would be as good, if not better, than ever
before. He said that be considered the col
ored people citizens of the United States,
and as such he was interested in their pro-
gress. He urged them to continue their eff
forts in the direction of education and in the
church, and assured them of bis good will
and support. When the delegation return
ed to the conference, their report was re-
ceived with enthusiastic applause.

CABIN DOOR.
Arkansas Cor. Louisville Courier-J Journal. ]
A few months ago, Colonel W. P. Grace,
one of the most prominent lawyers of the
State, had occasion to make horseback
journey into wild district lying between
two great mountains of the Ozark range
One day, while the heat was intense, he
came upon a small log house surrounded
by fence of poles. An old fellow with
low, yellow whiskers, like the dead silk on
an ear of corn, sat on the fence, engaged,
it seems, in the work Of killing buffalo
gnats.

The old fellow went into the cabin and
soon returned with gourd dripping with
water. The Colonel took the vegetable
vessel, turned it up, but only for moment.
Splitting out the water, he returned the
gourd, and said:
it would run up to 150."
''Don't know about that, Captain, but
