A Lawsuit Henry Clay Was Engaged In


LOUISVILLE, July 14.-The term Of
the Circuit Court OF this county,
which has just closed, disposed OF one
ofthe Oldest suits pending in Ken
lucky, and of more than ordinary in
terest, having been in the courts since
1911, known as that of Wyckliffe and
Executors agt. Breckenridge Heirs,
The case has been to the Court of
Appeals several times, and at last, ai-
ter costing in the neighborhood OF
half million dollars, has been decided
in favor of the heirs of John Breckin-
ridge and George Nicholas of the
other part. A deed dated Aug. 6,
1895, was made, whereby Lee sold to
Nicholas and Breckinridge one-half OF
tract of land in Clark county, con.
tanning over 1000 acres, for the sum
OF 1Rl0 per 100 acres. Henry Clay
was mixed in the case originally.
The claim out of which the case arose
amounted to only about $4,000, but
the amount of land INVOLVED, and the
present value on account of the rich
iron deposits, and the natural tenden-
cy of litigants to fight as long as posi-
BILE, have combined to keep this case
on the docket for these many years,
The record is very voluminous and
many OF the papers in the case are
rare curiosities darting as they do
back to the foundation OF the Com.
monwealth.

Is it a boy or girl? How often do
we hear this remark and question.
Yes, 1t is q pretty baby, but how bad
its mother looks. She looks as if she
were going right down. She is so thin
and yellow, and her face is covered
with wrinkles and blotches. She
seems.so nervous and irritable too
but it is easy to account for her con-
dition. Childbirth has left her with

OF the stomach and bowels. The best

al ludicrous one turns up. To-day q
long letter was received from a man in

woman between the age of20 and 30
years. She must be educated and
know something about housekeeping.
The officers of the department have
had many inquiries for relics, but this
is the first time, they say, that any
body has asked fer a living one. The
man pref ferred a woman who had been
rescued from the flood and said he
would marry her within three months

IngersoII,s idea of a Song.

A week or two ago, says the Couri-
er-Journal, Col. Will S. Hayes, Ken
'tucky's great song writer, out OF idle
curiosity, wrote letter to one of the
most famous and eloquent orators in
this country, Col Robert G. Ingersoll
asking the question, (Which is the
most powerful influence on the mind
an eloquent and howered speech Or a
plaintive and pretty little home bal
lad?" Col Hayes received the follow
ing reply a few days since "If ]
made the most eloquent and fiowery
speech that lips ever uttered and you
would come along with six bits fiddle
and play Home, Sweet Home, across
the street from where | was pouring
forth my eloquence, you'd steal the
crowd and leave me talking to empty
air in three minutes. A speech nc
matter how flowery and eloquent, en-
ters the ear, and, like a homeless
tramp walks sluggishly down the by
way Of memory, knocks at the door Of
the heart, is refused admittance, and
dies on the road to the graveyard o.
forgetfulness. But a song, "Mollit
Darling" comes skipping along with
an apron full Of flowers, jumps into
the ear, and dances along down the
path Of memory, throwing her roses
right and left and her kisses at the
birds she grows weary Of her frolic
with Nature then passes in front 0
the mansion of memory, knocks Oh
the door Of the heart, goes in and live'
there. "Home Sweet Nome" will livt
long after the most powerful, gifteC
and eloquent speech ever uttered by
the lips of man will be buried in tn,
minds of men and forgotten.

According to the Bulletin OF the
American Iron and Steel Association
the produce of pig iron during the fs-
cal half Of 1889 was greater than for
any preceding six monthsin the his
tory OF the country. The total pro-
duction for that period amounted to
4,107 800 net tons, as against 3 3,SSG,004
net tons for the last half Of 1888, an
crease of %, S95 net tons. More than
one-third of this increase was in the
State Of Alabama, whose production
went up from 279,796 net tons in the
last half Of 1888 to 1854, $40 tons during
the six months just closed.
1t does not follow that this increas
ed production Of pig iron indicates an
increased consumption. On the CON
trary, the unsold stocks increased s.
1876 net tons more than the entire in
crease in production. This means
that the furnaces are being run in ex'
cess OF the demand for consumption
and that unless an increased demand
soon springs up the accumulated
stocks will become an Incubus upon
the iron market.
