Our reporter to-day innocently
stumbled into what turned out to be
. private meeting of the leaders of the
regular democracy at the City Hotel.
What be saw and heard is of interest
to the general public, and We have no
hesitation in publishing his brief ex-
| perience which will be found in our
local department. While the CAPT
tai, as an independent journal, does
not desire to NEEDLE with tho ozark
ways" CT politicians, it will not be de-
tered from publishing any informa-
ton interesting to readers that it may
be able to obtain regardless of whom it
NAV please or offend. Our position
on county politics is something like
the woman out west who saw her hus-
band and huge bear engaged in q
rough aud tumble conflict. Having
placed herself outof danger. she clap
ped her hands and alternately cried
out-"Go it husband" go it BEAR"
until the conflict ended.
The writer's of the CAPITAL have
each their own political sentiments,
which on all proper occasions they
fearlessly maintain and independently
exercise. But the CAPITAL itself takes
no interest in nor shows any partiality
to any faction which are contending
for "loaves and fishes" attached to
local partizan contests.

FoRIEGN AFFAIRs.--Lord Salisbury
spoke at the National Conservative
Conference yesterday and outlined
the policy OF bis party. He said it
was no part of Great Britain to inter-
fere with Roumelia, but that the
policy of the government is to uphold
Turkey. He favored great change
in the present methods for selfgovern-
ment. Extending self-government to
ireland, he said, was still an open
question but it is desirable, as far as
possible, to give to ireland the same
benefits as are enjoyed by the rest of
the United Kingdom.

settled. The entire Turkish army
has been modified.

Selecting the Milkers as Yearlipgs.


The Scottish Agricultural Society, Of
the lnty of Ayr, has system of
offering high prizes for ycarling heifers,
which prizes are not to be awarded until
t ey come t. milk and are then again
p IN ed in competition. The young
animals, "quays," as the call them, are
of course selected with care, and each
brings number of his most promising
ones. They are marked and registered,
md at the end of a year they, or few
Of them--certainly a much reduced
number-meet again in the ring, and
judgment is pas. ed. This system 10
worthy of imitation everywhere. 1t
cultivates the ability TO judge Ct the
future value of COW while still unde-
veloped; it makes milk an absolute test
of merit; gives early development in
milk-giving its just weight, and honors
the breeders Judgment, as well as his
S lill in breeding. Besides, it excites
great interest, and is of great advantage
to the show, on account of the numbers
of young things brought out, and sub
jected to thorough scrutiny and COM
parison. Then there is just chance
enough in it to give an added zest. ; No
doubt, people would be found rash and
unprincipled enough, to bet on their
heifers, or on the more promising ones
of a neighbor, or on the daughters of a
fayorite bull and however wrong betting
may be, it adds to the interest and
profit of a show.-Am. Agricult,9ist.

Clay and Adams.
HOW HENRY TURNED THE TABLES on
JOHN QUINCY NEATLY.
From the Clereland Leader.

from tHG CtcCttuHu LGuUeT.
1t recalls to my mind a very funny story
heard in party of Congressman last
night, relating repartee which Clay
made at a dinner table there in response
to joke upon him attempted by John
Quincy Adams, "It was" said the
Congressman, "at dinner party given
to the American Commissioners after
the conclusion of the treaty. Henry
Clay told me the story himself. He
was sitting in the seat Of honor at the
right of the head of the table and inn
mediately opposite him was sitting John
Quincy Adams. Mr.. Adams seldom
made joke, and when he arose and
spoke as follows about Mr.. Clay, there
was no man in the party more aston
ished than Clay. Said Adams: I'VE
have at last finished the business which
called us to this convention, and ] am
glad of it. Not that our relations have
not been pleasant, but | think it high
time that my friend Mr.. Clay should de-
part. think ii to the interest of him
self and family that heshould so at once.
Because, gentleman, at the hotel, at
which we both stop there is a serving
maid, young, rosy and fair to look upon.
This fair girl was met by Mr.. Clay this
morning, just in the hall outside my
room, and | distinctly heard him offer
her five franc piece for single kiss
from her cherry red lips. Like a good
girl she scorned his offer, tore herself
from his embracing arms, and ran down
the hall"
The assault was so unexpected that
Clay blushcd to the temples, and was for
a moment at loss for a reply. As John
Quincy Adams was closing, however, he
motel the well-known weakness of Mr..
Adams eyes, which at all times are full
of water, and kept him constantly mop
ping up the tears. While the attention
Of the diplomats were SO directed at Mr.
Clay he pulled ont his handkerchief and
wiped his eyes with a significant imita-
ton Of Adams gesture. He then slow
ly rose aud said, as he looked up and
down the table, and finally fixed his
wonderful orbs on Mr.. Adams face:
"What the gentleman opposite me has
said is all true. IL is true that the girl
was very beautiful. And IL is true that
her lips were very tempting TO me. The
story of my failure to pick the cherries
Is also true as far as It goes, but the
whole of the story has not been told. l
did offer the maiden five francs for a kiss,
but as l attempted TO take 1t she sprang
from my embrace and Indignantly ex-
claimed, DO you think that am such
fool as to give you kiss for five francs
when I've refused that old gentleman
across the hall, who was offering Inc
twenty with tears in bis eyes"
The laugh was on Adams. He took
the joke angrily, and for several days
would not speak to Clay. Clay, how
erer, went to him and apologized, say
ing he had been dumb-founded by
Adams remark, and that the more so,
because II contained more Of truth than
fancy.

ALITTLE FAMILY STORY WITH VARIOUS

The parlor lamp shed its peaceful rays
on happy group of five persons. There
was the head-of-the-family, and the one
who called himself the head-of-the-fam-

lively eighteen and eight, and boy of
eleven years. The father carefully re-

In the first place, there were the miners
