One of the most interesting characters
in American history is General Zachary
Taylor, sold Rough and Ready, (" hero of
Buena Vista, father-in-law of Jefferson
Davis and twelfth president of the United
States. We all recollect how Daniel
Webster sneered at him, before he was
nominated, as ''backwoods colonel"
and refused to let his friends put him on
the ticket for vice president with TAYLOR
for first place, thereby missing his last
and, as the sequel showed, best chance
of becoming president. Millard Fill
more, of New York, took the despised
second place and thereby had nearly
three years in the White House.
General Sherman used to tell an ANUS
ing little story of Taylor anent his nomi-
nation for the presidency. At that time
General Taylor was stationed at New Or.
leans. He was Kentuckian and the
Kentuckians were very properly proud of
him. One day shortly before the conven-
ton met at Baltimore he was approached
at New Orleans by an old Kentucky
friend, who said:
General, we want you to run for presi-
dent"
s'Who wants me to run?" asked Gener-
al Taylor seriously.
''Why, we de-an your old neigh.
bors."
''Wel1, then, if that's the case" replied
the old hero, without changing the ex-
preston of his face, 81 reckon I'll have
to run. Detroit Free Press.

As to the length of time In which tho

back through records of Goss and Maco,
OF Hurst "the Staleybridge Infant" Of
Sayers who was the pride OF England, Of
Perry "the Upton Slasher," and OF tho
other famous fighters, to the opening Of
the century, when the praises OF Tom
Cribb were sung, we find that their hold
ranged from three or four months to Us
many years; and yet more than dozen
years have passed since the author, then
only youth, knock out Goss, vanquished
Ryan, and received the submission of
Mace; 30 that he became a connecting
link between the champion hip OF Eng.
land and America.
The championship of America has, there
fore, been held greater number of many
years than there were minutes in the

other champions were often measured by
hours, those OF the present one were won
within tho range OF few minutes and
sometimes even a few seconds. -fFrom

The Piebeisn Brother Of the Oyster IL Yer
High

The Plebeisn Brother of the Oyster IL Very
High
New York City Is almost on the verge OF
as ti2 barrel, and in a few instances slt
q barrel Is paid for them. Ordinary
oysters are selling for about 20 barrel.
CLAIMS are from two and a half to three
times as high as oysters. On the street
stands fresh oysters on the half shell sell
for cent piece, but clans sell at the rate
Of eight for 10 cents.
The high price of CLANS Is due to tive
causes. First, there Is an enormous con-
sumption OF them at all the watering
places, where every Summer visitor thinks
IL IL sacred duty to partake OF Rhode
Island clam bake and clam chowder Is
universally popular. Second, there Is a
scarcity of CLANS.
These popular bivslves are almost dis
appearing from the Rhode Island coast.
The cause Is said to bo the destruction OF
the adolescent and the infant CLANS by
careless fisherman. The young clans are
dug up from their beds and allowed to
float ashore, whore they have no chance
to grow up and become ornaments to
clam society.
Dealers I'm CLAIMS regard the present
scarcity with apprehension. The high
prices will continue for some time, and
unless people 60 to clam farming, clans
are likely to be permanently high.
