THOSE wero the days when the
making of i1llep was an art as we'll
as domestic accomplishment. The
night before MI. Clay's departure
from the Springs he gaSe'h banquet
in his cottage to Lis friends. For
tunately there is still living eye
witness to that entertainment, and,
il his description can berelied upon,
it was gala event that transoends
all modern blow outs. Old Uncle
Jimmie Patterson, tho venerable
gatekeepcr, who has been an attache
of the White Sulphur from time i'm
memorial, was the floor servant on
the row in which the Clay cottage
was located and helped to serve the
banquet. He says that the deport-
ment of tho host and the guests was
eminently proper until about the
hour of midnight, but from that
time of the night until the morning
dawned there was a high old time
on the premises. When the cloth
had been removed and the Powhatan
pipes were brought in-the degener-
ate practice of cigar and cigarette
was not in vogue in those halcyon
days--some one called for music,
and Il messenger was Gent for ne
gro fiddler, WHO Soon appeared with
his old fashioned instrument. The
old fiddler started in with Money
Musk" andithen played Sugar In
the G&urd," " but when he touched up
Mississippi Sawyer" Mr.. Clay step
ped into the middle of the floor and
gave them a Kentucky breakdown
This was fair challenge for Mr..
Choate, who followed with a New
England pigeon wing. When the
old negro struck the chord of "Old
Virginia Never Tire" the courtly
Rives, afterward minister to France,
felt that the reputation of the Old
Dominion was at stake and, shedding
his coat, executed the double shuttle
with skill that would make min
strel man envious. And thus the |
fun grew fast and furious until theq
gray dawn peeped over the noun
tain tops.-Louisville Courier Jour

At Winchester IA 1855 the same

noticed that the defending counsel,
the recorder Of Portsmouth, ohal-
lengod a great many of the panel,
so that the jury was very slowly
constituted. There was no question
as to the evidence. The men ought
to have been convicted without a
moments hesitation. The jury,
however, acquitted them.

afterward, Eve are all Portsmouth

bench said another, and we thought
our recorder was most likely to be
right, so we let the men off. -

In an Old Cane.

A dear friend of mine, now many
years dead, an antiquary and man
of eminence in letters, was showA
over the cathedral of Lichheld by
the then dean. AS a souvenir of his
visit he was presented by the dean
with curious and handsome cane
which some years previously had
been dug out in the course of some
alterations. For years my friend
used this, until the top came of,
and the revelation was made that
the cane was hollow. ThTustin9
down a finger, the owner brought
out Il vellum missive. This proved
to be q letter to the Earl of Essex,
signed by Charles /, asking him to
bring over his army to tho royal
side and promising i'll rocompense
for so doing his own gratitude and
the richest reward that monarch
could bestow upon a subject.
After the death Of my friend l
was permitted to show the treasure,
for such, in fact, it was, at the Brit.
ish museum. Alas for the hopes
that had been formed Mr.. Warner
brought me out practical facsimile,
and told me that others were in eX-
istence. Copies had been made and
several had been dispatched by diff
ferent hands i'll the hope that one
might reach the earl. The copy
held had obviously failed to reach,
though the ingenious plan of con,
cealment prevented its detection un-
til the days of Queen Victoria.--.

The squaw's Method.

A sleeping car passenger on a
train running into Portland, Or,
strolled into the smoking car and
took scat just ahead of a squaw.
He was putting vigorously atac cigar,
and-the Indian. woman got more of
the smoke than she liked. She pro
tested in pantomime.to theconduGt-
or, who, being something of a wag,
indicated that she should make use
of an immense umbrella she had BY
bringing it down on the man s head
She naturally presumed that the
conductors authority was all sufi
ciont and forthwith acted on his
suggestion with native vigor. The
mans hat was knocked down over
his eyes and all but ruined, and the
cigar was sent spinning galley west
When he got out of his hat. he turn
ed with not ineXplicable ferocity
upon his assailant, but the squaw
merely looked at him with aborigi.
nal immobility Of countenance and
wouldn t understand either Engli
or sign language, and while the other
passengers were conyulAel with
merliment he had to retreat to an
other car Exchange.
