Death and Henry Clay.

Hon. George Bancroft, in the Century
for July, says When Henry Clay was
debating in his mind the nature of his
disease, and as yet had not quite re-
nounced the hope of renewal of his
days of action, he sought counsel of
Samuel Jackson. He was greatly in
earnest and wanted to know the truth.
His question was, if the evident decline
in his strength was so far beyond relief
that he must surely die soon. He re-
quired an explicit answer, without color
or reserve, however unpleasant it might
be for the physician to announce an I'M
favorable result. DR.. jackson made a
careful examination of his condition,
found the case to be clear one, and had
the courage to make to the hero of a
hundred parliamentary battles faithful
report.
The great statesman received the COM
munieation that for him life was near its
close, not without concern, but with the
fortitude. of resignation. He declared
that he had no dread of death, but he
was still troubled by one fear, which
was probably suggested to him by the
recollection of the magnificent constitu-
ton with which he had started in life.
That fear was not of death, but of the
mode of dying, he had terrible appre-
hension that his last hours would be
hours of anguish in an agonizing struggle
between life and death; this, and this
only, was the thought that now lay
heavily on his mind. DR.. jackson ex-
planned to him the nature of his malady
and the smooth and tranquil channel in
which it was to run, and assured him
with a sagacity which did not admit OF
question, that in his last hour he would
die as quietly as an infant falls asleep in
its cradle. "You give me infinite re-
lief" answered Clay. The chief terror
which death had for him vanished.

Little James Grammar.

1t is a pathetic sight to watch the
meanderings of the childish mind
through the intricacies of English gram
mar. Little Jane had repeatedly been
reproved for doing violence to the moods
and lenses of the verb ''to be-" She
would say 81 be" instead of | am, and
for time it seemed as if no one could
prevent it. Finally Aunt Kate made a
rule not to answer an incorrect question,
but to wait until it was corrected.
One day the two sat together, Aunt
Kate busy with embroidery, and little
Jane over her dolls. Presently doll
society became tedious, and the child's
attention was attracted to the embroidery
frame.
" Aunt Kate" said she, "please tell
me what that is going to be?"
But Aunt Kate was counting, and did
not answer. Fatal word, be 1t was
her old enemy, and to it alone could the
child ascribe the silence that followed.
"Aunt Kate" she persisted, with an
honest attempt to correct her mistake,
rplease tell me what that is going to
am Z"
Still auntie sat silently counting,
though her lip curled with amusement
Jane sighed, but made another patient
effort
evil you please tell me what that is

Aunt Kate counted on, perhaps by
this time actuated by a wicked desire to
know what would come next. The little
girl gathered her energies for one last
and great effort.

An Agreed BILE Experience.

Mr.. Archibald Adams, teamster, who
resides out the Brownsville road, saws a
Pittsburg paper, had an interesting and
exhilarating experience recently. A
week ago Mr.. Adams bought pair of
plain, ordinary, everyday mules at the
horse market. Now Mr.. Adams is a
careful man and has kind heart for
animals. So when he noticed in the
farmers column of newspaper a day
or so ago that it was an excellent thing
to wash the hoofs of horses occasionally
in hot water, he came to the conclusion
that he would try its beneficial effects
ON these mules. He got pail of hot
water and -hied himself away to the
stable. The mules blinked at him
with a mild, languid air, firted their
little tails about pleasantly, and awaited
their masters will. Mr.. Adams set the
pail of water down at the rear feet of
one of the mules. The mule kept on
looking pleasant. Then Mr.. Adams
lifted up one of the hoofs and carefully
gut it in the bucket. --!l!%# $50

Time to Leave off Drinking.

A Young man residing at the High
lands having succeeded in saving quite a
sum of money, resolved, one evening last
week, to 90 in quest of amusement. He
found it, and reached home in the early
hours of the morning in an inebriated
condition. After he had been in bed a
short time he was rudely awakened from
his slumbers, only to discern by his bed
side the stern visage of his father.
.cWhere is the child you have secresAd
in this room2'' the father asked.
By this time, thoroughly aroused,
partly by establishment caused by the
question, he faltered: ''What child?"
"There's no use denying it," replied
the old gentleman; 81 distinctly heard
the voice of small child coming from
this room"
At that instant the voice of baby,
coming directly from the side of the
young man, was heard. Horror struck,
he quickly turned down the bed clothes,
when the form of child about six
months old was brought to light. The
old gentleman, after inquiring about his
sons whereabouts the previous evening,
sent the infant to the home on Chardon
street. The young man, it may. be said,
was unmarried, and was ignorant as to
the manner in which he obtained the
child, but had faint recollection of
placing something in bed upon his
arrival home. He has left off drinking,
having signed the pledge. He says that
it is bad enough to see snakes when he
gets drunk, but when he gets sober and
finds himself in possession of baby,
then it is time to leave off drinking

Chasing the Indians.

The following is an extract from a
soldiers letter :-It was impossible for us
to keep up with this savage crew, i'm
possible because they got fresh horses
every few miles, and because they SEEM
ingly were superhuman. The phrase,
" There is limit to human endurance"
seemed TO have no application in their
case. The space we passed over in four
days they accomplished in twenty.four
hours, without even hating. At the
crossing of Black River we saw them five
miles ahead going over a level plain. On
seeing this we followed them at a gallop
for fifteen miles. They then entered
the hills and trees and scattered. When
we emerged from these we looked down
thousand feet in the Valley of Eagle
Creek. Our Indian scouts pointed to a
long bare ridge across the valley ten
miles away. There could be seen going
up the hill lot of little specks which
we could hardly see. They travelled
slowly; it was Geronimo and his band
of $50. Suddenly from ravine on one
side appeared a number of objects NOV
ing rapidly. They joined the column,
and in few minutes we could perceive
that every one was going faster. A band
of horses had been driven from the val
ley, instantly mounted, and the column
was off. Geronimo had fresh horses; we
could not catch him now.

Her Little Man.

s'Here comes my little man." The
voice sounded pleasantly on my ear, and
l turned to look at the speaker. She was
a ruddy checked woman of some forty
years, plainly but neatly dressed; clean,
comfortable looking body. She was
standing at the garden gate of a small
house, and the words spoken were not
spoken to any visible person. l the1

little man was approaching. He was a
little, feeble-looking body, rather shah.
billy dressed, with little round, +. d
nose ard little twinkling eyes. Ishould
put him down as clerk with by no
means gigantic salary. There was moth.
ing romantic or particularly lovable in
his appearance, but at the moment the
face of the woman was beautiful to look
upon by reason of the pleasant and
strong affection that beamed from it.
"Her little man." He ought to have
been proud of it, and dare say he was.
1t is good to be somebody's little ran,
or big man, if you like that better-to
feel that your heart is filled, and not
empty and whitening for want of the
glory and light of true love. If, as many
of the poets have sung, the nearest APP
proach to Heaven is true and honest love
of one dea er than all-love that never
waivers and is returned in all its satisfy
ing fullness, what long way from
Heaven must an old bachelor be, with
his heart full of not. ing but missing
shirtbuttons, smoky club-rooms, cheer
less lodgings, and v.keaish landladies.
We laugh at he pictures of those old
bachelors sowing on their buttons and
making their own cruel, but some OF
these pictures darken into very sombre
background, as the weary and uncar-d
for old fellows drop into petulant decay.
Nobody's little men. l know some Oh
them by sight. Day after day they may
be seen YEARLY plodding through the
same 'treets, with the same pipe and the
same umbrella, and the same look of
grim Dissatisfaction on their faces.
Deeper down dips the corners of their
mouths, higher up go their shoulders
and thinner grow their noses and checks.
They go home and there's never kindly
soul with pleasant smile OF kiss or
word of love. Nobody's little men.

Russia's New Sea Canal.

When Peter the Great founded st.
Petersburg, he said it was "a window
to look out upon Europe" The site
of that city is marsh, and it is seven
teen miles distant from Cronstadt, which
is the real harbor on the Baltic Sea. The
channel connecting St. Petersburg with
this harbor and fortress has been only
nine feet deep. Recently this has
changed into canal, which was formally
opened the other day. The depth of this
new waterway is now from sixteen to
twenty feet, while it is from $50 to $40
feet in width. AS Cronstadt is supposed
to be impregnable as against all the
fleets of the world, the Russian Navy
has now a secure retreat, and there is
room enough to build ships of war equal
to those of the most favored nation
All danger of war for the present with
Great Britain is happily over, but the
Gar is getting ready for the inevitable
struggle in the not distant future.
Russia demands an outlet to the trade
of the world, and the longer she is kept
back the more overwhelming will be the
torrent that will finally burst over Europe.

The First Bull Run.
WADE HAMPTON CORRECTING ERRORS
MADE By GEMS. JOHNSTON AND I'M
BODEN.

The Charleston, S. c., Nea0s publishes
long letter from Gen. Wade Hampton
correcting errors in the recent articles OF
Gems. Johnston and Imboden touching
the first battle of Manassas or Bull Run.
Gen. Hampton shows that the Hampton
Legion, 900 strong, which he com.
manded, arrested the victorious columns
of Sherman and Keyes, who were driv-
ing the Confederate forces back, and
that the Legion SO delayed the Federal
advance as to enable Confederate re-
endorsements to be brought up. This
Ne,os gives an elaborate review of the
battle, the history of which, it says,
must now be rewritten. Its conclusion
is that Hampton was to Jackson at
Manassas what Jackson was to the
whole Confederate left. Hampton saved
Stonewall Jackson as Jackson saved the
army. 1t was the magnificent fighting
of the Legion under terrible odds that
gave Jackson time to bring his troops
into position. Had he not had the OPP
portunity to form the Virginians, who
afterward stood ''like stonewall," the
battle would have been irretrievably
lost. The opportunity to form those
Virginians was given to jackson by
Hampton and his men, and was given
by them alone.

Only a Little Ribbon.

In one of the London hospitals about
year ago; an assistant surgeon became;
interested In one of the patients, or;
child of ten, suffering from hip disease
6he lay day after day in her little white
cot, with nothing to occupy her thoughts
but her pain. The young surgeon saw
her one day trying to make doll of her
finger, playing with it, and at last giving
1t up with weary sigh, turning to watch
the sunlight creeping over her bed, as
she had done for months. That afteri
noon the doctor, passing a shop, bought
long, soft ribbon, of an exquisite rose1
color, and gave it to little Katey. She
was breathless with pleasure, smoothed
it out, held it up soft and shining, in
the sun, and looked at her friend speech
less, with tears of ecstacy. From that
time she was rich. The nurse told the
doctor, week later, that the child
played with the ribbon all day, twisted
it about her head, playing that she was
a bride, princess, a fairy held it In
her hand while she slept, and laid it,
folded In paper, under her pillow at
night.
It was found necessary after two
months to perform capital operation on
the child, one which, if unsuccessful, is
fatal. 1t was done by two of the FORE
most surgeons In London. When the
poor little sufferer was laid upon the
table, she cried for DR.. s.. "He is all
the friend 7 have" she sobbed.
Send for him, :" said the surgeon, and
the young assistant, blushing furiously,
was brought in. He held one of Katey's
hands; the other was clenched tightly
over a pink roll, which dropped from
her grasp during the operation. When
the effect of the ether passed, she opened
her eyes and looked at DR.. s..
"My ribbon" she whispered. He
gave it to her, while the surgeons and
nurses stood gravely silent. The opera
lion had been unsuccessful But little
Katie smiled happily into the face of her
friend, and hugging the faded bit of
silk, fell asleep forever. 1t was but
tllfing gift, yet it had frightened the
childs last days with thoughts of beauty

men, who, when getting to their des-
tination, find no work and an empty

riding between freight cars or conceal
themselves in box cars, if they can be
found empty-not quite as desi' able a
