was a veteran of the Mexican war, n
while one of the most brilliant stump
speakers the state had produced, he never
made a speech in the senate. In fact it is
recalled that the only speech he ever
made IN or near Washington was under
the most unique circumstances.
When the battle of Bull Run was
fought both branches of congress had ad-
Journed for a DAY or two, and many OF
the members of both branches drove out
to witness the battle. In fact, so close
did some of the members of congress get
that one member was captured by the
confederates after the rout began.
History has told of the result of the
battle. Senate ane had driven out in
a buggy and with a field glass was
watching the battle from a distance.
When the union forces began to slowly
give way and the mad retreat began.
Senator Lane had left his buggy by the
side of the country road and was stand
ing on a stump in the center of the road,
which made a sharp turn to avoid the
stump. This brought the senator almost
in the middle of the road. For an hour or
more he stood in the middle of the road
on the stump, searching With his glass
and eye practiced in the Mexican wal
the operations of the troops. When the
retreat began ~stragglers began to file
past. Men without their arms, some

BILE evidence of the true condition of at

The distressing scene moved Senator
Lane greatly. He determined to do what
he could to stop the light and r%eorganize
the men. He began addressing the men
and urging them by their love of country.
-, by their love of honor and manhood, to
stop and form for battle. His White hair
was blown about his face and never was
man more earnest or eloquent. Many of
the in%fantrymen did stop and gathered
about the aged orator. Things seemed
hopeful that a united stand might be
made.
At this instant there came up the Dad
in wild flight a troop of cavalry with
horses white with sweat and the men
urging them on. Senator Lane stood still.

to pull him out of the way.
Senator Lane refused to move. and. as
the cavalry swept UP began addressing
the troopers. One or two seemed nclin-
ed to stop, but one burly horseman i n adj
vance shouted: Get out of the way. old
man. or we will run you own One
horse was riddle directly at the aged
senator, but SHE'D at the stump and the
senator's life was probably saved. AS it
was he was knocked from the stump and
two of the infantrymen pulled him to the

TWO INCIDENTS.

Indiananolis Sentinel: Mention OF the
fact that Senator David Turpie was the
last of the "old guard to retire from pub
lie life has revived many interesting
stories of the old days in public history
, when Senator Turpie was in the senate
serving his first term With senators who
had been the contemporaries OF Clay ana
Webster.
One of the most interesting of these
stories is an Incident connected with the
only time Henry Clay ever made a speech
in Indiana. He had touched upon the
river towns once or twice, but never dld

in the early %forties, and he came to Rich

center of a Quaker population, and the
fact that Mr.. Clay was a large owner OF
sla yes was taken up and used against
him. An immense crowd was present,
and Just before Mr.. Clay arose to speak
Mr.. Mendenhall, a prominent resident or
Richmond. handed him a petition signed
by 8 1000 names urging him to liberate his
slaves. Mr.. Clay looked over the petit
ton carefully, arose amid intense silence
and said:
