A Portrait of Henry Clay.

His Executor. in the December Century.
Mr.. Clay was tall and broad shouldered, with.
out being bulky or feshy, and when at all ex.
cited was of stately and commanding presence
Though his long limbs were loosely put together,
yet his manner was neither awkward nor un.
couth, nor ever embarrassed; on the contrary,
it was easy and natural, and wholly unpreten-
tons; it was the easy, nonchalant air of
man accustomed to the ways of the world, and
conscious that he was at least the peer of tina
foremost in every crowd in which he happened
to be. Indeed, my own opinion is that he was
never in the slightest degree, even in his early
youth, awed by the presence OF anyone; he never
seemed to feel, and my belief is he never fels
that he WAS ever at any time In the presence OF
anyone superior to himself. And there
fore he was not only strikingy
at ease, but at home wherever he
was, whether among his neighbors or strangers,
whether at social gathering, or at the bar, or
or on the floor of the Senate; and In nv iudgs
ment he would have felt equally at home at
conference of kings and emperors He seemed
to have not only an instructive consciousness Of
his own strength, but of his own special capacity
for leadership. Therefore he would take the
lead to himself as If uneonsciously, whatever the
occasion, and as naturally and as gracefully as
if 1t were his birthright; and few there were, IL
any, who ever seemed TO be surprised that he
had taken the place for which nature appeared
to have designed him. Indeed, without any sp-
pearance of self-assertlon on his part, and as 1t
unconsciously to himself. there was asomething
In his presence and his manner that gave to him
an authoritative air and made him for the time
the central, the commanding figure OF the group
about him

SOME CITY FEATURES,

indianapolis is a city. If anybody dares to
say it is not, we refer him to the honorable
members of the Common Council and of the
Board of Aldermen, who would not be in their
places but for the legal fact that indianapolis
is city. But there are other things that
demonstrate quite as clearly that Indianapolis
is city. Its Council and Aldermen, the ma
jority of them, seem to be controlled by cor
porations, and that is an infallible sign. In
all great and prosperous cities the councilmen
and aldermen are the willing servants of some
corporation or other. In Indianapolis the
Tom johnson Street Railway Company seems
to have the call. 1t can do or not do what it
pleases and it pleases to do and to not do great
deal. One thing it pleases to do is to put UP
a stationary ''what-is-it' in the most central
and busiest part of our principal business
thoroughfare, and maintain it against the
protests of the people generally and of the
adjacent property holders particularly. OF
course the monstrosity could not remain
there day if the Councils were not be-
holden to the Tom Johnson company. On
any beautiful, bright, clear day at this season
of the year, the resident or the visitor may
see this remarkable structure, out of the roof
Of which there protrude about thirty feet of
fve-inch stove pipe, and from the top of the
stack gracefully curling heavenward col
umn Of tawny smoke from cheap block-coal
fire, maintained in the interior of the struct-
ure for the purpose of keeping the Tom John
son servants comfortable, and adding the
proper degree of heat and steam to the fumes
and foulness Of that menagerie cage.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1886-11-28

With the exception Of the new court
house and the newer State-house,
we do not know more pleasing and attract
i've feature of city life than the Tom johnson
stove-pipe near tie intersection Of Washing
ton and Illinois streets The aldermanic and
councilmanic bosom must thrill and swell, not
to say palpitate, with urban pride upon be-
holding it, sending upward its smoky testi-
monial, as sort of pillar of cloud by day and
pillar of fire by night to bespeak the great
ness and glory of indianapolis.
Another fact further demonstrating that
Indianapolis is a city is, that here cows and
hogs are permitted to wander at will about our
streets, to Craze upon the neatly -sodded door
yards that are so pretty feature Of Indianap-
oils homes and are permitted to lie at their
luxurious ease in the public parks and in the
grounds surrounding the public buildings.
Possibly no other city than Indianapolis COM
bines this truly beautiful pastoral feature with
its mad and rushing life. Other cities are
content to have the lowing herd and the
grunting swine kept from general view, and
leave the streets and pavements, the door
yards and the shrubbery, free from their
predatory presence. Possibly in no other
city than Indianapolis could little child be
savagely attacked and almost killed by a
hog, which had strolled into the home
dooryard where the little one was play
ing with its companion. Possibly in
no other city than Indianapolis could the po-
lice be instructed by their superintendent at
roll-call to 60 out on hog hunt, and if the
vagrant animal was found, to shoot it and
leave its remains unsepultured.
The people of indianapolis ought to be pro-
foundly grateful for these unwonted evil
dences of their truly metropolitan
character, and should look with
proper degree of scorn upon cities that do
not enjoy these special and peculiar privileges
It is true there are laws against these things
passed in some remote age by councils
that were not so permeated with the proper
city spirit, and we are told that the penalties
provided by these laws might be en-
forced if the individual citizen would take
the time and trouble to attend to the work
In other cities the police and the officers
elected and paid for such duty attend to it;
but that only shows how far they are behind
the age and illustrates anew the old maxim
that "the world is governed too much" Let
every citizen thank his stars that he does not
live in such place, but that his lot is cast in
the great and glorious city of Indianapolis,
with Tom johnson and strolling cattle at
tachments

HENRY WATTERsoN in Courier Journals: We
have nothing to say of the English social system
as far as it relates to the English. That every
Englishman after the Prince of Wales is snob,
does not concern us. That the Prince of Wales
is a debauched BLACKBOARD, with nose for
k'cerican girls, does concern us. That the
American minister is dreadful little cad and
toady. does concern us. That America is repre-
sented in English society by riff raft of Vulgar
American women. who have themselves or their
daughters to put on the market, does corcern
US. Of all these we have told the truth and
nothing but the truth, though not the whole
truth. which in decency we could not tell in
newspaper which goes to virtuous American
homes and is read by honest American fresides.
