went TO this fellows house. treated him to coat Of
tar and feathers and then rode him out OF town
rail. But they did not allow their philanthropy
to stop there for after they had taken Of the
husband in the manner already mentioned, they
then quartered his family In the best hotel In the
place until they could raise money enough TO send
them back to Kentucky where the wife's parents
lived.
Now, speaking of climatic influences on character,
what part of the country can beat .his2 All
scientists agreed that climate has every thing to
do with forming national character. l think 1t
was Bob Ingersoll who, in q speech opposing the
annexation of San Domingo, said:
"You may take two of the smartest young men
in New York, the sons of the two most prominent
clergymen in the city If you please, and let them
live In San Domingo two years. At the end of
that time If you were to send some one down there
to see low they were getting along, that some one
would, in all probability, find those two young
men, each astride mule, bare footed, bare headed
and with rooster under each arm, on their way
to a cock fight Such, my friends" concluded the
eloquent orator. "are the damnAble influences Of the
climate in that country"
OF course, in harmony with the beneHcent influ-
ences OF the Caltorna climate, IL Is only fAlr to
assume that the worthless husband was not native
of that state, but was an immigrant from some
distant but less favored locality for the same
climatic influences that would prompt people to
so summarily rid themselves of all such worthless
and undesirable characters, would also be unfavor-
able to the thrifty growth of beastly, lazy husbands
who lie around and permit their wives and
children to suffer for the necessaries of lie So we

WISE nature has but little Clay like that of which
she moulded him, who, when boy, rode bareback
and barefooted 10 Daricotts old grist mill on the
Pamunky river.
Yet, there Is much to praise In what Mr.. Schurz
has told the younger brood of Americans about one
of the greatest and best of their country's tried
servants.
The story Is plainly written by one who
can as cordially approve rs he, on occa-
sion, strongly deprecates. At the begin
ming Carl Schurz, himself, all unused to pop
ular confidence and acclaim, Ia surprised to
find that the remarkable fascination" which
Henry Clay exercised, "seems to have reached even
beyond his living existence" At the close of his
peculiar record, Mr.. Schurz halts not, to pile
clamor on top of error, but honestly admits that
whether what Henry Clay advocated was wise or
unwise, right or wrong,-there was always ringing
through his words fervid plea for his country, Q
jealous appeal in behalf of the honor and the future
greatness and glory of the republic, or an anxious
warning lest the Union, and with II the greatness
and glory Of the American people, be put In
jeopardy"
This was much the manner, the action, and the
prayer of Washington, Franklin, Webster and
Lincoln.
Henry Clay was q boy of thirteen when Frank
lin died AT two and Twenty he mourned George
Washington whom he survived nearly fifty three
years. In fidelity to principle and to brthright he
followed where they 50 periodically led. History
decides that his name, . narrow golden scroll, IL
written as one of the very few that will outlive
the worlds next century.-H G. L.
