1t is refreshing to note in

Henry Clay's Appearance in IS4S.

II wildly recall" continued the
speaker, Mr.. Clay's appearance on the
occasion of my calling on him at the
Aston house, which | now think must
have been in the early spring of 1S4S.
When seated he did not look to be the
tall man he was, and appeared less dig
nitied. But when he arose to his feet
his full stature was revealed and the
courtliness of his bearing was apparent.
He carried no superfluous flesh on his
frame, and his step was firm and elastic.
He had an unusually high forehead,
prominent nose. a large and flexible
mouth and moderate sized chin. He
was clean shaven, and wore his hair,
which was parted in the and almost COW
cred his ears, long. His eyes were ex-
pressive of gentleness and Kindness of
heart, united with courage and tirmness.
His voice was round and full and capable
of wonderful meditation.
His dress was plain and simple-a
black coat and trousers, and waistCoat
of black silk or satin. Around his throat
was wound black silk neckerchief, tied
in a large bow knot in front, and partly
supporting the famous shirt collar which
rose nearly to the tips of his ears. The
| Henry Clay collar had a national rep
utation, and all earnest followers of
Henry of the West adopted it. 1t was
part and parcel of the shirt itself, was of
most liberal dimensions. and, like the
bosom of the shirt, which was implicated,
was only slightly starched, and as IA rule
generally dropped over the neckerchief.
Boots and a silk hat completed his at
| tire-New York Tribune Interview.

Contrary to the advice Of his physi-
clan, Prince Bismarck empties glass
after glass of water during the delivery
of his speeches in the reichstag When
he rises to speak, his arms seem to look
for a support, and his hands, whose
trembling is almost the only evidence of
his age, nervously pluck at his beard,
his ear, or the cross which adorns his
breast. He never speaks in pathetic
manner-not even when dwelling on his
services, the emperor or the fatherland.
His speeches are rather in the nature of
"table-talks," but are much more en-
joyable in print than in the delivery.
He frequently halts, stammers, and cor
reefs himself. He has himself said Il
am no orator; a good speaker is rarely
good statesman" He shows his juridi-
cial training in his frequent Latin quo
tations, and borrows many an English
phrase from the language of the turf and
field.-Berlin Letter.

Japanese Tea at chicago show

| visited the japanese village" the
other day, and came away in a towering
passion. After visiting several of the
little booths nearest the entrance, saun-
tered away into the back part of the
theater, where couple of little japanese
ladies We're making and giving away
cups of tea. Now" thought | to my
self, Il will see for myself whether the
Japs and the Cinese know any more
about good cup of tea than the Amer
leans do.
AS | approached, the dainty little
matron stepped to the front of her booth,
and in a rather beseeching manner held
out to me a tray containing a half a
dozen tiny blue cups half full of tea.
gratefully accepted one. 1t contained
only few thimblefuls of tea, without
cream or sugar; but, OH We gods what
tea! slipped and slipped until it was gone,
and then, having quickly made the cir
cult Of the village, came back with new
crowd, and took another cup. This fraud
was perpetrated over and over, and it
seemed TO me that could drink that tea

A New Revolution in Panama.

DIR. Cornelius Logan, the generals
brother, who represented this country in
various capacities in South America.
and finally as minister to Chill, chatting
with me about the instruction in Uru-
quay, told me an incident of his expert
ence in 1882 at Panama. He had been
to call on the representative of the gov
eminent then in possession at Panama,
when the question of the stability of the
government had come up. He was told
that there had been no instruction for a
long time, and there were no prospects
of another for years to come.
Stepping back across the public square
to reach the hotel, the doctor was sud
denly surprised to see at the upper end
of the street leading into the plaza a
hands rush out from the houses and
form into line, level their guns and fire
vOlley point-blank across the square.
Then they scuttled away like vermin in
cellar from an approaching light. The
bullets whistled around his head, and
how he escaped he declares is miracle.
When he got to his hotel, being unable
to understand the affair of which he was
witness, he made inquiries and found
out that this was the beginning of a new
revolution. The doctor told me that this
is a fair sample of the stability Of the
South American countries. Cor. Cincin-

Recognized by IA Pet Canary.

Several years ago. when living with
my sister in Boston, one of my daily
pleasures was to whistle and talk to her
canary birds; the birds and | were on
terms of the most intimate relationship.

the most entertaing, way.

old friend, but had not said more than
half dozen words, in an ordinary con-
versational tone of voice, when "Dicky"
pulled his head out from under his wing
and began to chip in right lively man
ner and, before l could recover from my
feeling of gratitude and delight, the little
fellow was singing with all his might
song of ingenious pleasure. There was
no duplicity in Dicky's song. 1t was

John Kelly's Ideas in journalism.

The late John Kelly introduced some
new ideas into journalism when he had
control of The New York Star. His
home was some distance from the city,
and there he had a complete little print
ing office, including a small job press.
Everything he wrote was set up in this
establishment, and the proofs corrected
and revised until they We're entirely free
from error. Then a final impression
was struck off, and this was the shape
in which his copy" arrived at The Star
office. 1t absolutely shut the door on
any excuse for errors.
In addition to this his private print
ing office was used for typographical ex-
periments, the result of which appeared
from time to time in the columns of The
Star. Any change in the style, as the
heads, was always first thoroughly tested
in this way. Mr. Kelly was very seldom
seen about the office. l worked there
for year and did not even know him
by sight. He knew very few of The
Star people personally, but used to mark
articles he liked in the paper and in
struct the managing editor to give his
compliments to the writers of them

English Speaking People DO Not Take
Kindly to the Idea.
English speaking people have never
taken kindly to the idea of eating horse
flesh, although some persons in this

have, from time to time, strenuously adj
vocated its use. The belief, however,
that large quantities of horse meat are
: fraudulently sold for more orthodox
meats in the latter country, has recently
provoked the people of Manchester and
Stafford to call public meeting and pc
tition parliament to pass an act to COM
pei butchers, who sell horse flesh, to
label it as such.

The use of horse meat was at one time
