CLAY, Webster and Calhoun.
From Ben: Per'iey Poore's Nem Book


When Randolph, of Roanoke. was
about to fight Representative Eppes, Of
Virginia General Breckenridge undertook
to superintend his practice, and said to
Mr.. Crawford. of Georgia. who Was to De
his second on the held BY all means
arrange the matter, for Mr. Randolph
can't hit barn door" When Randolph
exchanged shots with Henry Clay, and
they shook hands after the first fire.
Randolph loosely observed. pointing to
a hole made by the bullet in his flannel
dressing gown: MIR. Clay. You owe me
gown" Mr.. Clay promptly replied.
with his usual smile: am glad, Mr..
Randolph, that am not deeper in your
debt" In one of Mr.. Calhoun's earlier
speeches in Congress he criticised Mr..
Randolph for his ''audacty in comparing
himself to the great Lord Chatham"
Mr.. Randolph modestly disclsimed the
pretension, but added: In one thing,
we are alike. Every scoundrel assaiIs
me-" and as he spoke he pointed his
long index finger at Mr.. Calhoun.

The greater the degree of
civilization the more intricate
and complex the laws govern
ing it. The greatest minds of
the world are puzzled over
tariffs and exchanges. With
the savage it's plain matter
here's one and there's the other,
and to many minds his is the
better mode-it cuts off the
vast army OF, middleworkers
simplities intricacies, closes
every transaction and fixes at
once the loss and gain.
What has all this to do with
country store keeping-only
this-the smaller transaction
illustrates the larger-the same
laws and impulses apply. The
strife is for the proft-tor the
gain. And how far would
cupidity 60 but for competition
and sometimes that confounds
itself-too much of a good
thing. But the country store
keeper is the man we want to
put forward-that's our bust
ness-proft is our object

buyer-talr to the Seller-our
living is in it. But we are not
hard to satisty-the merchant
prince is too far in the distance
we can't see him-our am
bition is to make a decent liv-

A Green DIE a.e.


Several days ago dealer in oysters in
this city received a call from an indi-
vidual who announced that he had been
appointed delegate to come in from
village about fifteen miles away aud see
about getting oysters for church festival.
How many cans would you want2"
asked the dealer
We'll. you may give me figures on
twenty cans
The lowest price was given him and he
took his leave. but in about fifteen
minutes he came back and said:
"Pve been thinking it all over. We
shall have at least 200 people to feed, and
you d bethw give me figures on forty
cans.
A price was made, and after doing some
figuring on his own account he observed:
Some to figure upon the crowd think
we can count upon at least 800 Nobody
out our way has had any oysters yet, and
everybody will expect to fill right up to
the brim- Let's figure on sixty cans
A price was made on this number, and
he started for home promising to send in
an order within three or four days The
order was received yesterday. II read:
II never had nothing to do with a
church festival before. and so, of course.
/ was liable to make a mistake Inclosed
find money to pay for two cans, which
are to be sent by the stage driver. One
of the cans is for me. and the other for
the festival No more at present--good-

We have periodical visit of small

ance at intervals of from ten. fifteen to
twenty years. When these fish appear In
the bay immense mum bers of men women
and children arm themselves with baskets
rod and line and repair TO the water
front to get each one his or her share of
the bounteous feast swimming before
them. Those who have plenty of idle
time ON their hands pass days and nights
along the wharfs and beach in their quest
for the fish of the gods
The superstition still prevails-when-
ever it appears it is taken BY fishermen
aud people generally as sure precursor
of the death of very high chief Since
my residence here have noticed such 10
be the case, and within the past twelve
months In fact foreigners of long resi-
dence here accept this fish omen as fore
gone conclusion. and why mott We all
of older and more civilized countries have
our myths and superstitions, so let us be
charitable towards the genial and hospit-
able natives we soiourn among.

Pensions.

Special to the Daily States.
WASHINGTON, June 26.-COngress-
man Blanchards little speech in the
House last night, in answer to some
insinuations from Bayne that the South
does not pay much of the pensions, at,
tracts good deal of attention, and
favorable comment to-day. He showed
that of the $S5,OOO,OOO of taxes levied
and paid annually for pensions, the
South paid from $25,000,000 to S30,COO.-.
600, not one dollar in one hundred OF
which ever returned to the South in
the way of pension disbursements in
that section. He declared that all the
North paid for pensions returned to
that section, and all the South paid be-
sides, and it was building up and en-
riching the North, and was constant
drain upon the South.

The most noteworthy social events
during the past week were the two re-
ceptions given by the President and his
wife, the first being a card reception to
the Army Navy diplomates and other
officials, the last to the general public
on Friday evening, which was probably
the largest reception ever held at the
White House. No other announce
ment was made than the one in the
daily papers and in these the hours
named were from nine till eleven, but,
at that hour, there was such a line OF
eager faces anxious to shake hands
with the President and his bride. that
Mr.. Cleveland sent word that he would
see them all if it took until daybreak.
This was the last reception Mrs. Cleve-
land will hold until the opening OF the
next season and until then she will be
at home only to her personal friends.

We cannot account for Senator Eos
ter's action in Withdrawing his bill to
place the burden of proof on the rail-
road companies for all cattle killed by
them. 1t was among the number OF
good laws that we had hoped would
obtain the ratification of both branches
of our Legislature. Past and present
indications show that it is an impossi-
bility, or nearly SO, to effect leglSl alton
against the extortiouate railroad abuses
and injustices. Let the distinguished
Senator reconsider his action and unite
with his contemporary, Strickland, in
doing this great service for their constl-
tuents and the State at large.-lbe1a

A farmer residing some five miles
north of Etna, Kas., tells of great
natural curiosity. He says there is on
his farm perfect natural bridge. The
width of the archway through which
the water threads it's way is from eight
to twelve feet, and the height is from
six to ten feet. The cavernous arch
way is some three hundred feet long.
About fifty feet from the lower end Of
the bridge there gusles forth a clear
spring Of cool, soft water.
