XV. HENRY CLAY.

BY FREDERIC W. SPIERS, PHI D.

Clay would require as its background d
complete sketch of the political history
of our country during the first half
Of this century. As speaker Of the house
Of representatives, as foreign envoy, as
secretary Of state, aa senator and as
perennial candidate for the presidency,
the statesman from Kentucky was a
factor Of commanding Importance in
every political struggle from the admin
i5tration of Madison to the election Of
Buchanan.

| even when they have burden on their
backs.
Vi pigs it is commonly reported
that so qucerIy fashioned are they
that if they attempt to swim they cut
their throats with their fore feet; but
this is only an old wifc's fable.
Whether wild or tame, they are all
good swimmers, though, owing to the
shortncss of their legs, they just
touch their throats with their fore feet
and beat the water very high. Many
OF the islands Of the Southern seas
are now Inhabited by wild pigs, which
are the descendants of those which
have swum ashore, sometimes great
distances, from wrecked vcssles.
Camels cannot swim. They are
very buoyaut, but i'll balanced, and
their heads 80 under water. They
can, however, be taught to swim rivers
with the aid Of goatskins or jars fast
cncd under their nccks. During the
Beluchistan expedition Of 1893 the
camcls were lowered into the sea from
the ships and their drivers, plunging
overheard, clambcred on to the rumps
OF their charges, causing the animals
heads to come up, and thus assisted
they were successfully piloted ashore.
Several animals, such as hcdgehogs,
bats, which would, at first glance, be
considered incapable Of natation, are
in reality quite respectable performers.

His Magic Failed Him.

Zone of the funniest things that
ever happened to me-" said the old
magician, who was in q reminiscent
mood, occurred a number of years
ago while was making a tour Of the
country. at that time my favoritc
card was the box trick, where allow
Cd myself to be put in sack, after
which was locked IN Il box, which

subject for discussion long after l had

night at small town, and after the

hotel and retired for the night, the
old man who kept the hotel .howing
me to my room with all the Difference

bed in the room was folding one,
and no sooner was I in than it closed
up like jack-knife Fortunately for
me, l realized what was happening in
time to roll to one side, go .ha. when
the bed closed it left my head out.
But otherwise was powerless, and
there was nothing to do but yell for
help, which I did to the best of my
ability. Finally I succeeded in max
ing the landlord hear me, and he came
to the door and wanted to know what
the matter was.

Skull Camp" Bridge.

Within mile of Shelbyville, Tenn,
there was once ford in Duck River
called Skull Camp Ford" The river
is now crossed at that point by
bridge called, popularity and officially,
"Skull Camp Bridge" In early days
the ford was used as a scft of mile
} post, thus $50 many miles to or from
Skull Camp Ford" but whence or
why this singular name not person
in Bedford County can answer.
There is tradition which has been
handed down from father to son for
years that at one time great battle
was fought between the whites and
Indians at this point, and that the
bodies of the slain were left unburied
on the scene. Some thought that
DeSoto on his famous march to the
discovery of the Mississippi River
fought the battle, but other traditions
had it that the battle was fought by
early settlers or prospectors in this
section. Yet no one can point to a
historical mention Of such a battle.
Old men who were here as early as
1893 were wont to say that a band of
immigrants from Georgia or South
Carolina, on camping at the ford for
rest, discovered large number of
human skulls and bones lying in
heaps about, and they at once called
their camp the "Skull Camp" The
ford took its name from this camp,
end it vas known as such to all movers
to this section, and here it has been
so called and known since the memory
OF NO GIG ne~ alive S'-unnosii 20 the
contrary"
That human skulls in large numbers
were found there is not doubted, but
how they came there nothing, unless
the tradition mentioned, explains.
1t was at this 6. kull Camp" bridge
that the retiring Confederate cavalry
of Briggs army in 1853 made stand
against the advancing cavalry Of Rose
Grams, and it was on the bridge that
the Confederates were obliged to aban-
don their cannon, throwing them into
the river, where they yet remain. It
was just above this bridge, too, that
General Joe Wheeler forced his horse
to jump from high enbankmcnt into
the river and swan to the opposite
bank in order to escape the crowding
and largely outnumbering Federals.
None of this, however, explains the
name "Skull Camp and it is to be
regretted that no historian has yet
accounted for it.

Preparations to Show Appreciation
of Mr.. Canavarro.
The Portuguese of Honolulu and of
outlying plantations are uniting to ex-
press their appreciation of and con-
fidence in Consul Canavarro, since the
attempted assassination of that official
nearly two weeks ago.
The general plan is to raise a sub
stantlal token for presentation to the
Consul, and behind the movement are
some of the best men of the Portuguese
community. 1t was at first proposed to
merely make private show of their
good feeling toward him, but upon
mature consideration, the plan of open
ing the lists to the general Portuguese
public was adopted. By this means no
one will be barred from showing their
feelings of confidence in Mr.. Canayar-
70. The presentation will be made in
public, and will be an occasion of some
note.

For several years past we have
urged the building of natatorium
to accommodate the public, during
the heated term. There was some
effort made at one time to organize
a local stock company, but it went
by the board. 1t was unfortunate
that such was the case, as the city
badly needs public bathing place.
with necessary accommodations.
Conditions are developing rapidly
in this city, and the necessity for
such a public institution is becom>
ing greater yearly. We believe a
natatorium could be established, in
connection with some other pas,
time or sport, upon paying basis.
Upon this premise it will have to
be based, if established at all. 1t is
beyond the range Of possibility that
such an institution could be estab.
lished upon the grounds of public
necessity and receive support upon
a philanthropic basis, yet in the
judgment of many it will benefit
morally and intellectually proper
tionately with a public library.

psu.x.. Chinese Servant.


Admiral Dewey's body servant. who
moved with him from the flagship
Olympia to his new home presented to
him last autumn in Washington, is All
Nav, the Chinese boy. Ah Nav is an
interesting character, and about as
bright and shrewd Chinaman as one
ever meets. He Is an enlisted sailor in
the United States navy, and is tenn
porarily detailed for duty with the ad-
miral. He speaks English with re-
markable clearness and fuency, is good
natured to an unusual degree. and is
perfectly devoted to his gallant mas
ter. All Nav has sole charge of Ad-
miral Dewey's wardrobe, lays out his
clothes to be worn each morning and
keeps the admiral's trousers pressed
and creased. AS Admiral Dewey is
exceedingly fastidious about his wear
ing apparel the duties of All Haw in
this respect are quite exacting. In
a short time the Chinese servant Ia to
return to his native country. He is of
a saving disposition and has accumu-
lated a snug fortune, which he is anx-
ious to invest In China.

Every man having the welfare oi
the city at heart, and is through
harping on petty municipal polls
tics, should do his utmost to cre>
ate congressional interest in the bill
for a public building in Grand
Junction. Matters are looking pro-
petious to secure this federal build
ing and long continued, steady
and united pull from every direc>
ton may land this prize for us.
Under any circumstances it cannot
harm US to try. The old saying
which says in substance "Its better
to have tried and failed, than to
never have tried at all" is very per-

with this present effort.
