more cushions than knew what to do

Henry Clay's Escape.

Fatalities resulting from "blowing

due to rusticity and ignorance, but the
Philadelphia Record is responsible for
the statement that Henry Clay was once
in danger of his life from the same
cause.
Mayor Swift of Philadelphia and
Henry Clay were very intimate friends,
and several times during the mayors
administration the eminent Kentuckiau
came to visit him. On one of these &C.
casions Mr.. Clay nearly lost his life.
During the first night of Mr.. Clay's
visit the mayor noticed an unusual odol

THOSE Wall street fellows do not
care rap for patriotism or national
honor. In condemning the presi-
dents special message on the
Venezuelan question by resolu-
ton, the New York chamber
Of commerce merely represents
gang of money-getters who have
lost all sense Of American spirit and
manhood. and reflect no part of the
actual sentiment existing in this
country. The action of these ac-
quisitive plutocrats may possibly
result in great damage to this coun-
try and to England as we'll. II the
British should conceive the idea,
through the resolution, that the
United States is not really in earnest
in the Venezuelan matter, and that
the resolution reflects the true senti.

Eoclish Party Discipline.

Other sore tribulations of the poor
member Of parliament are that his opin-
ions are dictated by his leaders-his
movements controlled by the whips.
Party discipline is very strict and viola
lions of it, however slight, are rarely
condoned. If member is bold enough
to take ar independents stand in regard
to any of the political questions Of the
day, his speech in the house explaining
his position is received with SCOTS and
jeers by his colleagues, and, what is per-
baps more uncomfortable, approving
cheers by members ON the other side,
If he persists in this course, he is re.
garded as crank and q fadd;st, and is

strongly worded and heavily UNDERSIGNED
communications, demanding his imme-
diate attendance at Westminster, are
frequently delivered to him at the most
iropportune moments-when he is inst
sitting down to delightful little din
ner or about TO leave his house for q
pleasant night at the Gaiety theater-
and if. yielding to the temptations Of
the flesh, he ignores this peremptory
call of political duty, his past services
are forgotten. he gets solemn lecture
from the chief whip Oh the enormity of
his offense, and, mayhap, his name is
published in an official "black list of
defaulters, or he comes across a nasty
little paragraph exposing his neglect Of

Mary Anderson's Sacrifices and Hard Work
For q Stage Career.

Mary Anderson's Sacrifices and Hard Work
For . Stage Career.
Returning to Louisville from New
York city, study was begun on a new
plan. I had learned from Mr.. Vanden-
hoff [who gave her few lessons in elo-
cution and actingl to turn my den into
a stage. Imagining one of the walls the
auditorium, it needed but step farther
to crowd the house with an enthusiastic
public, and small audience was never
seen in that theater. Chairs were made
to represent the different characters, and
a bust Of Shakespeare-the Chandos, to
my mind the finest Of all, though unfor-
tunately not as authentic as the STRAIT
ford-was placed at proper height and
converted into the leading Juvenile. :"
Clifford, Claude, Colonna, were the
parts assigned to it, but as Romeo I
imagined it looked least stony. Six
months Of solitary work was now be-
gun. Dancing and music. of which l
was passionately fond, were renowned
and my girlhood friends and companions
given up. The exa2geration of youth
led me to believe that complete concen-
tration on the Que subject alone would
lead to success. The labor was particu-
larly hard, working as I did in the
dark, having no one to consult and no
experience to guide me. I longed for
help, which never came, except from
my mother, who was as ignorant as I of
the rules Of dramatic art. Still we
worked on necessarily. producing eff
fects, she criticising them to the best OF
her ability.
Often in the middle of the night ]
would awaken her to show some new
point. Indeed owe more to her con-
slant and loving interest and encourage
ment than can ever hope to repay. To
get the hollow tones of Juliet's voice in
the tomb and better realize my heroine e
feelings on awakening in her "nest Of
death, contagion and unnatural Sleep"
/ frequently walked to Cave Hill, Louis
ville's beautiful cemetery, there to speak
her lines through the grilled door Of a
vault. Had a thorough schooling in the
art been possible. instead of these ran.
dom and ungnided efforts, my work
would have been halved and its results
doubled. MARY Anderson De Navarro
