Col. Benton In his earlier years had

several dusls In one Of these encounters

was the Gauss of the bittersst regret to
Benton, and the shadow Of it lay forever
af ter ward on his life He destroyed all
could never be brought 20 talk about it
However. have often heard him describe
the famous duel between Henry Clay and
John Randolph In which he played a
prominent part. Randolph had DELFT

Jonas. comparing Clay and Adams to
ing IL with an invective against Clsy
such as has no parallel In our language.
A challenge was the result. and Ran
dolph was as much dstermined to kill
Clay as he was to feed his hounds the
following morning. he was splendid
shot, and could cut tape string at 20
PAGES. At this junoture Benton inter
posed to avert blaodshsd. He called on
Randolph the evening bsfore the duel and
asked him 10 spare Ciay's life Randolph
at first f1atiy refused and cursed Benton

mainet with Randoiph through the niaht,
and went with him to the dsld the fol-

fire, and II 1t proved harmless. he would
discharge bis own pistol in the air.
Every one knows what occurred on tEs
geound. When tho parties were placed
opposite each other, Randolph discharged
his pistol prematurely. He did not know
that the weapon was hair-trigger.
when the second shot was demanded,
Clay fired frat and Randolph fired in the
air. Tfen, In q touching scene, the two
men became reconctled Thirty years
sfterward Benton was wont to describe
this meeting as the "most high-tor ed
d ueI' he had ever witnessed.
Speaking of she ccds reminds me of
the little known fact that Clay and Gen.
Scott once came dangerously near to
meeting on toe field. Clay was at the
Astor houss, New York, when on a De-
osmber day In 1889 word came to him
that he had been defeated in the Whig
national convention at Harrisburg and
the elder Harrison nominated In his stead.
Scott was also guest at tho Astor, where
the Whig national COMMITTEES had its
hsadq uartsrs, and had also bean q candi-
date before the Harrisburg convention.
Clay had hoped that the Scott men, If
they changed At all, would support him;
but when the break came they went 10
Harrison. As soon a. the result was
known, Clay made his way 60 Scott's
room and violently upbraided the general,
at the same time dealing him q heavy
blow on the lsft shoulder. George Evans
and John J. Crtttsnden, who were present
it was from the latter had the story i
angry rsjoirdar from Scott. Instead he
said quietly: "Senator Clay, beg you
will not lay your hanfs 50 heavily ON

tendsn made hasts to lead Clay away,
and confds him TO his friends. When
they returned to S,ott's room the general
remarked In tne sAme quiet tones he had

ed Crittenden would do him the honor
and favor In the morning to carry q nots

he was stunned and horrcr-strioksn al
Scott's request. for he kn,w that the code
provided that q blow could only be wiped
out by blood. When he called SCOTS
an apology from Clay. Accordingly. on
the folio wing day Crittendsn carrisd tho

regret for what had happened. and SO the
affair ended without bfoodshed.

Admiral Dewey is being sharply crlti-
cised for transferring the houss present
ed TO him by the people to his wife, and
no. without reason. 1t was not a gracious
act Had his wife been poor or he
engaged in an occupation that exp osed
him to sudden and severe losses, the
transfer might have been defensible.
But there was no extenuation of this
kind in the case. His wife was rioh and
his employment assures him large and
certain income as loEg as he lives
Nor is the case helped much by the
transfer Of the house by Mrs Dewey to
che Admiral's son. which looks very
much Ike an after thought suggested by
the criticism that was being freely made.
The house was given to Admiral Dewey
and 1t was naturally expected that h o
would keep 1t himself.
