Henry Clay, native of Hanover county, vir-
GINA, is known in American political annals as
Kentucky's most honored adopted son.
His place in our national history remains, TO. day,
quite exceptional as it was for many eventfu
years prior to his death-June 20, 1852.
He who so long and majestically filled the
publics eye, still holds the peoples heart Impic-
lily trusted are our real benefactors. Human
progress is the enduring record of the good deeds
of true and dutiful leaders.
Oftenest to our lips come the names of Washing
ton, Franklin Clay Webster and Lincoln, when
probity, wisdom and craftsmanship are homebred
themes.
Permit me to side track q little, and possibly
detect (at least hint a) the cause of this tenacious
memory of five eminently worthy men, parceled
from the numerous hundreds that our country
calls distinguished"
The United States has Just completed the first
century of its successful constitutional govern
ment.

Local advertisement was notoriousy paramount.
Oldfashicned genial, spontaneous hospitality took
back seat Behind modesty's closely drawn blinds,
sincere patriotism bowed its diminished head.

Two men, seated together a railway train, fell

"Finest thing ever read in my life"
"Indeed."

"That's saying a great deal for an American
novel;"
Eyes, but am justified by the excellence of the
book in making the assertion; and, as you are a

as possible. Only cost you fifty cents. The train

Some of the newspaper writers in Chicago are
disposed to look, with displeased eye, upon the
Hon. Robert T. Lincoln. They think that he
would make better showing an English minis
ter to this country than American misister at
the court of st. James. Mr.. Lincoln Ii not q
popular man, and we do not suppose that his most
intimate friends f he have any will deny that he
is snob. As lawyer he Ii below the average, as
an orator he is commonplace, as . conversational
he is stupid, as q companion he is cold and as Q
citizen he Is to ell Appearances devoid of love for
his country, even the sneered at Fourth Of July
orator. with his extravagant utterances and hoarse
voiced enthusiasm would, better than Mr.. Lincoln,
represent our country. The Fourth of July man
may be an extravaganza, but he il . much truer
American than the man who Is an ape Of foreign
customs, and Whose greatest pride Il Q well-kspt
growth Of whiskers.

ONE SENATOR.

II seems that by the strenuous
exertions Of our two able represer-
tatives in the Constitutional Con-
ycntian - Mcssrs. Cavanah and
Sinuott-thc apportioument Of rep
rcsentation, at the last moment,
was SO amended as to give Elmorc
one Senator, also one Representa-
tive and ono jointly with Ada
county. This il but justice to Eli
more, ~ the next election will fully
show that she is entitled to all tile
favors granted by the convention.
Messrs. Cavanah aud Sinnott ere
entitled TO the thanks Of our peo-
pie for their zeal in behalf Of FL
mere. Neither politics nor railroad
influence swerved them from their
just course toward our people and
their honored names, now attached
TO the instrument, will years hence
be pointed to with pride by all az
men who feared not the party lash
and did their duty well.

DEATH OF A NOTORIOUS
WOMAN.

A woman known all over the
Pacific Coast as Spanish Belle" or
Belle Rogers" died in this place
last Sunday morning, aged 81
years. There is scarcely mining
camp on the coast that this woman
did not visit during its prosperity
since the days of lS49. Her his
tory. il correctly told, would doubt
less fill a large volume-and ii
would be volume Of bad deeds
only, for no good deeds have ever
been attributed to her, in the
knowledge of those few who have
known her history for the past 40
years. Ii seems that she gloried in
the crimes she had committed and
during her convivial moments
would relate some incidents of her
past life. From this source we
gather that, Mt an early age, in her
native land of Central America, she
became the mistress Of a noted sea
pirate named Valzaj, whose vessel
was terror to the merchant ships
plying the waters of the Pacific
ocean. She boosted that her duty
was, when this pirate ship anchored
at port of prominence, to decoy
rich men aboard the vessel, whers
they would surely be murdered and
robbed. She followed this criminal
career until the discovery of
gold in California, when she left
her pirate paramour clandestinely
and landed in San Francisco in the
summer of 1849. She soon drifted
to the gold mines and followed
every excitement from that date to
the time of her death, plying her
nefarious calling and terror In the
community which she happened to
cast her lot. II is said Spanish
Belle" boosted of having murdered
four men herself alone for money
Zone in Idaho), and two women Of
her own character, who were so un-
fortunate as to excite her jealousy.
1t is claimed that she was buried
with finger ring belonging to one
of her unfortunate victims. The
men whom she had cut almost I'M
to death in Boise Basin, Atlanta,
Rocky Bar, Idaho, Eureka and yir-
ginia City, Nevada, are entirely too
numerous to mention. Yet in her
long career of crime this woman, by
her devilish cunning, managed TO
escape just punishment by law.
In her young days she was doubt
less handsome woman, and
at her death did not look
to be over so years Of age.
She was quietly buried Sunday
evening about 7 o'clock, with but
one solitary person following her
remains to the grave.

Tothe Editor ofthe JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 We desire to speak of the exceptionally good music furnished by the Second regi- ment band, George P. Stack leader, at the Fete Champetre. In general excellence the band will compare favorably with the best, and it is believed by good judges that there is now not better one in the State, not ex- cepting the far-famed Wheeler & Wilson. New Haven by it's patronage should encour- age this organization and help to make it one of the leading bands of the country.
