of Mr.. Clay's argument which was
directed to laboring men to show
that slave labor competed against
them, the ringleaders of this gang
opened operations by the set oues-
ton all prearranged, "Mr. Clay,
what did you do with your niggers ?"
Mr.. Clay responded with the utmost
suavity, Il set them free, sir mo,

You are a 1iar!" said Mr.. CLAY,

This was not according to pro-

SENSITIVE TO NEWSPA PER CRIT
CTSH

Judge Strickland of Northampton,
Mass, recently gave a South Had
ley Falls police officer, arrested for
assaulting a reporter of the Holyoke
Democrat, the following very sensi-
BILE advice:
You must be unusually sensitive
to take offence at a newspaper arti-
Gle You must know that news
papers are given lots of liberty.
When anything occurs it is reported
in a bright, witty and readable man
ner. The papers could make trouble
every day if they wanted to with
stuff which they throw into the
waste basket. Now l make it a rule
to let newspapers severely alone.
Surprising that during a political
campaign, such as presidential
campaign, that public officers should
be offended, as you are, at every arti-
Gle in the papers about them. Why,
the courts would be busy all the time
with assault cases. There is not a
public man, from the highest down,
but has something said about him
in the newspapers. In an officer,
patience should never cease to be a
virtue. If your acts or your meth
DDS as an official are criticised and
you know that you are right, you
will always find the papers ready to
set the matter right if you go at it
in the right manner. Remember that
judges, lawyers, and police officers
should set an example by observing
the law

BRIBERY IN PUBLIC AFFAIRS.

When a president turns out an
honest and efficient public servant in
order to lay hands upon his salary
to reward a man, not because he is
especially fit, but because he worked
hard to secure his benefactor the
presidency, he teaches that money is
to be justly expected for doing politi-
cal duty. If Jacob Sharp had reason
ed, he would have said that if a man
might properly bestow the public
money upon his relations, or use it
to reward other men who had done
him a service, it could not be very
wrong for him (Sharp) to reward
with his own money a man who was
willing for that consideration to do
him a service If it is proper that
great manufacturers, to advance
their interests, should contribute
large sums of money to buy votes
for that is what they know they are
doing-hOw is Jacob Sharp a sinner
for promoting his own interests in
the same way? 1t is not surprising
that if we Justify bribery in one way
we should condone it in another.
But it is manifestly unjust that Nc
Quade should go free and Jaehne and
O'Neil lie in prison. Harper's Week

CLAY BLOOD ITS BEST.

The Albany Argus, in denouncing
the present administration for snub-
bling the venerable Cassius M. Clay,
who asked an office, gives this thrill
ing incident in the history of this
grand old mani
Cassius M. Clay, the veteran abo-
lition agitator Of Kentucky, an agi-
tatOr at time when he had to carry
pistol with him to enforce his right
to speak, has a complaint to make
against the present administration,
which is put in the vigorous language
that Mr.. Clay so well knows how to
use.
1t is pitia BILE to find so old and able
man as Cassius Clay a suppliant
before a republican administration
for anything, but it is more pitiabl
to find that administration refusing
him or even hesitating over the grant
of almost anything he would deem it
necessary to ask. Cassius Clay be-
fore the secession era, and during it
and through the war, was a grand
specimen of manhood. He was so
intense in his love of liberty that he
freed the slaves that had descended
to him by inheritance, and he engag-
ed fright in the old Bourbon blue
grass region of Kentucky in Wig
orous and sharply aggressive war
fare against slavery. Hewas above
board about it all the time. He en-
gagged in no midnight conferences,
and ran no underground railways.
eff you are property" he said to
negro runaway once, "then you
shouldn't steal yourself away from
your owner. But there will come a
day when the world will say that
you are not property"
In Louisville, in the campaign of
Lincoln in 1860, he made several
speeches for the republican ticket
When he was first advertised to APP
pear there was great excitement.
Had he been an agitator from a
northern state he would not have
been allowed to set foot inside the
city. The sullen rain-drops preced
ing the storm were already falling
desultorily. Secession, disunion, war,
were already threatened. The scorn
that waited upon abolition was in
tensifed. Even Greeley and Wendell
Phillips and Thurlow Weed were be-
ginning to question the wisdom of
their own course. But Clay never
swerved He announced the time
and place of his speech Tin the east
room of the courthouse" by pla-
cards on the streets. The newspa-
pers refused to accept his advertise
ments. Some hoped that he would
not be interfered with. Some dis
creetly intimated that it would not
do to offer him violence much as they
might say, Don't nail his ears to the
pump" Prentice of the Louisville
Journal boldly said that "Cassius
Clay is a Kentuckian. He is Clay.
He is a man of brains and blood He
has a right to speak and should
speak" But even the Journal hoped
that he would say nothing incendi-
airy.
The hour came and Cassius M.
Clay spoke to a tremendous audience
in the centre of which he could descry
the set and resolute visages only of
enemies. He laid out his documents
and manuscript on his left and
seven-shooter on his right "A citi-
zen of Kentucky" he began, tasks of

GOOD ADVICE TO GIRLS.

Those young fellows who stand in
front of public buildings to show
their shape, and those who stand
sneaking near the church or school
house door to catch a glimpse or
catch on as you start home are not
the ones you should marry, girls.
They will do for you to ruin your
selves with or split your reputation
on, but boys who have the stuff in
them, who make moral lovers and
desirable husbands, do not do things
that way If you have higher aims
than rubbing hair-oil marks from the
best dress you wear, or doing double
work IN after years for your. board,
be scarce with outdoor waiters.-

WONDERS NEVER CEASE.

Does any one suppose that such
staunch defenders of ultra Calvinism
as Rev. DIR. Robert J. Breckenridge,
and his brother, Rev. DIR. John Brock
enridge who in 1885 had that long,
bitter controversy with Archbishop
Hughes in Philadelphia, could have
believed that one of their near de-
scendants would found a Catholic
University and endow it so generous
ly as to be specially honored by the
Roman Pontiff? Their theology
was so rockribbed that they were
never quite sure of the safety of non
elect infants, nor could they believe
that a true Christian would be I'M
willing to be damned for the glory of
God. And what must that living
Rev. DR. Breckenridge think when he
reflects that his niece is that descend
anti Her mother, a sister of the
Rev. Dr. and the late Vice President
Breckenridge married Shakespeare
Caldwell whose father, James H.
Caldwell was sixty years ago called
the theatrical Napoleon of the South
west, having theatres in New Or
leans, Mobile, Cincinnati and ST.
Louis. 1t was with him that Edwin
Forrest made his first stage engage
ment Mr. Caldwell amassed large
fortune which became the inheritance
of his son Shakespeare, born in Fred
ericksburg, Va, who married Miss
Breckenridge in Kentucky where his
two daughters, Mary Gwendoline
and Lima lived from their birth until
their removal to Richmond, Va. BY
the death of their parents a few years
since, the daughters came in posses
sion of an immense estate from which
came the munifcent endowment of
Washington University.
And now it is announced that Miss
Mary is soon to marry Prince Achille
Murat, born in Bordentown, n. E,
few miles up the Delaware from Phil
adelphia, a grandson of Napoleon's
great cavalry officer and some time
king of Naples. The father of the
Prince was a wild reckless spend
thrift who gave his uncle Joseph the
ex-king of Spain no end of trouble as
long as he lived in BOrdentown. He
made a runaway match with
Scotch school teacher for which 10
seph refused him further support.
His wife kept boarding school, and
her husband begged and borrowed
as best he might until he was called
to France by Napoleon III who made
him a senator and Prince of the EN-
pire. On its downfall he went with
his family to England where he died.
His son Achille married an Italian
Princess recently deceased, and has
three children all married. He is 90
and is said to be rich, accomplished
and a suitable match for Miss Cald-
well in everything but age, she being
but %. And it is further announced
that after marriage they will settle
down in Bordentown on the old es-
tate of the ex-king of Spain.
