 The venerable Howard GratZ, editor of the Lexington Gazette, is one of the few Kentuckians now living who were present in the United States senate chamber in March 1S42, when Henry Clay made his famous farewell address. MT. GratZ was then a boy of eighteen, returning home from Yale. His uncle, Senator Blair, sat almost behind the Speaker, and when Mir. Gratz entered the crowded chamber his uncle beck oned to him to come over and share his seat. MT. Gratz did so. and during the entire time of the delivery of MT. Clay's speech he occupied a portion of his un- cles chair and listened with rapt atten- ton to the Great Conlmoner In speak ing of his recollections of this memora- ble occasion, MT. Gratz said:
 q do not think MT John F. Coyle g account of the remarkable scene pub- lished in the September Ladies' Home Journal, is correct. MT. Clay did not say all that Mr. Coyle makes him say and there are numerous errors in the report of his speech. MT. Coyle evi. dently quotes from the Congressiona Globe. I had been well drilled in re. porting the sermons of an old Presbyte- rian preache, and I believe I can give verbatim report of MT. Clay's speech on that memorable March day.

DAUGHTERS oF LIBERrY.

At a surprise party recently rendered MT. and Mrs William Riggs at their home on Derby avenue by members of Goddess of Liberty council, No 8, Daughters of Liberty. MT. and Mrs. Riggs were presented by the council with an elegant center table for their parlor and a fine table spread. The gifts were warmly appreciated and a capital supper followed The thanks of the council are awarded Messrs, Brown & Durham for their liberal deduction in the cost of the table, which was pur- chased of this firm. MT. Riggs was one of the right hand men in the employ of the Pequot club when the former club house was burned down. and he lost some of his household effects in the fire and President Durham contributed his suite to the success of the expedition to MT. Riggs house, much to the grati- fication of the Daughters of Liberty.
 A large delegation of Goddess of Liberty council was royalty entertained by the Bridgeport council, Lady Howe council, at rally in Bridgeport last Wednesday evening. It was another very pleasant occasion in the history oi these sister councils.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NOTES.

Activity and Higher Prices for Consoli- dated Railroad Stock and Debentures- New Haven Bank Clearings-Other Notes.
 New York, New Haven and Hart ford railroad stock, on which there has been comparatively few transactions for the past few weeks, assumed con- siderable activity in the middle of last week, rising from 1S1 to 1S7%. On Fri day and Saturday it was quoted in New York and Boston stock exchanges as ex-dividend at 1855, transfer books clos ing in this city on Saturday last at D. m. The debentures were also in more demand, as nearly 2 per cent. in- terest is now accrued. Sales were made from 140 to 142, large lot being offered at little above the latter price.
 Swift & Co. stock also advanced from 90 to 92, and Diamond Match to 160
 Manufacturing stocks as yet hardly seem to feel the improved condition oi affairs, as indicated in the price of theil shares.

They Become Mixed by a Too Jealous
 . British Advertiser
 By a desperate effort the London papers have managed to preserve per feet seriousness in their treatment of the suit for libel and trespass recently brought by the owner of Nelson's old ship, the Foudroyant, against the pat ent medicine manufacturer who has caused to be painted on the side of the vessel and in huge letters the statement that England expects every man to do his duty to take - pills" The Journalistic gravity is due, doubtless, to fear. on the one hand, of offending a lavish advertiser. and on the other of enraging the British public, which thinks it adores Nelson and would re- sent any levity in regard to the Foud-

royant. Trial of the case developed many, humorous features, however, and there would seem to be no harm in mentioning them on this side of the water. It seems that when the ship was driven ashore at Blackpool, man whose trade 1t is to desecrate scenery, or anything else that comes handy with laudations of this particular re- medy, considered that he had before him the chance of a lifetime, so he tele- graphed to his employer that the ves- sel was lying conveniently near much frequented pier, and closed the dispatch with the pathetic words. What am I to do?" The pill mans reply was: Do the best you can at reasonable price" followed by the cheerful phrase that made the trouble as showing his idea of what that best should be. The agent being, apparent ly single minded creature. took no note of the instructions to negotiate with the owner of the relic, but went before daylight and performed his un- holy work with less regard for the feel ing of the owner than he would have shown if the medium of his art had | been barn or a wayside boulder. The result was suit for G1,000, the plaln- | tiff claiming that he had been llbeled, since folks would think him "a person of little decency and no good taste,
 and that he had been financially damaged because the ship was now re- garded with ridicule and contempt, and no longer attracted paying visitors. The
 pillmaker held as seems to have been
 a fact, that his agent acted wholly
 without authority, but a verdict Of 55l
 was rendered against him all the same and the too-enterprising artist wal fined 40s. And now the Britishers say
