TERMS Of SnbScriptiOn:
BentOn's Alteration.

The Tillman- McLaurin imbrOglio
has recalled the historic alteration
fifty years ago between Thomas
Ii. Benton and Henry Clay. This
incident took place in the Twenty
second Congress. No blows were
exchanged, but there was much
excitement. A debate was in
progress in regard to General
Jackson's veto of the rechartering
the Bank of the United States.
Mr.. Benton spoke of Henry Clay's
language about the President. An
argument then ensued between
them, us follows:
Mr.. Clay: There are some pc
culiar reasons why | should not go
to that Senator for my views of
decorum in regard to my bearing
toward the Chief Magistrate, and
why he is not fit instructor. |
never had any personal encounter
with the President of the United
States. denton had been involv-
ed in n street fight with General
Jackson in Nashville in 1879 |
never complained of any outrages
on my person committed by him.
Jackson had struck Benton with
a horsewhip.) never published
any bulletins respecting his private
brawls. | never declared my APP
prehensions and belief that if he
were elected we should be obliged
to legislate with pistols and dirks
by our side.
Mr.. Benton; 1t is true, sir,
that | had an affray with General
jackson, and that | did complain
of his conduct. We fought, sir,
and we fought, hope, like men.
When the explosion was over
there remained no i'll will on either
side. There is no adjourned
question of veracity' between me
and General jackson. If there
had been, gulf would have sep
arated us, as deep as hell.
Mr.. Clay: General Jackson
made certain charge (of bar
gain) against me, and he referred
to witnesses to prove it. | denied
the truth of the charge. He call
ed upon his witnesses to prove it.
| leave to the country whether that
witness sustained the truth of the
Presidents allegation. The wit
ness (Mr. Buchanan is now on
his passage to st. Petersburg, with
Il commission in his pocket. (Mr.
Clay reverted to the dirk-an PTS
toll remark attributed to Mr.. Ben
TOM Can you look me in the
face and say you never used that
language!
Mr.. Benton: | look, sir, and
repeat that it is an atrocious cal
umny; and | will pin it to him
who repeats it here.
Mr.. Clay: Then / declare be-
fore the Senate that You said to
me the very words.
Mr.. Benton: False! False!
False!
Mr.. Clay: | fling back the
charge of atrocious calumny upon
the Senator from Missouri.
When order was restored apol-
ogies were made in the following
language:
Mr.. Benton: | apologize to
the Senate for the manner in which
I have spoken; but not to the
Senator from Kentucky.
Mr.. Clay: To the Senate also
offer an apology. To the Senator
from Missouri none.

Hair and Grass.

There is major in certain Eng
lish Regiment who has great con-
tempt for incapacity of any kind and
is somewhat impatient into the bar
gain. Some time ago he was in charge
of detachment of men, and a SER
geant complained thathe could get no
man to undertake the duty of barber
to the company.
"Is there no gardner in the COM
panyy" asked the major testify. 81
seem to remember one. Send him to
me-"
The man was duly sent, but not re-
ceiving orders to act as barber, ven
tured to expostulate.
"Great Heavens" yelled the maj or
eff you can cut grass, you can cut
hair"
The man went, but what the others
said is unprintable.

Only the. Truth.

In the town of D, whenever a lec-
turer can be induced to visit that out
of the way place, the audience is, as
a rule, kindly disposed. It is said
that a chairman, after depressing
address in the local 'institute," as
aured the speaker that his discourse
was "moving, soothing and satisfy
ing"
When removed next morning as
having commended dismal failure
he denied the charge and maintained
that he had uttered no appreciation,
but only simple facts-namely, that
the lecture was "moving," because a
large proportion Of the audience
fdgeted in their seats and several left
the room; it was "soothing" because
many fell asleep, and it was "satisfy-
ing" because there was not single
person who had not had enough.

Frontier Judge and Jury.

A group of representatives were in
the cloakroom telling stories of their
experience in court, when Delegate
Smith contributed this incident from
Arizona, says The Washington Post.
Out in one of the border towns a
case was in progress, one of the law
yers being an eastern man who was
new to the country.
"Will you charge the jury, your
bonol?" he asked.
"Oh, no, I guess not" replied the
Judge, Il never charge them any
thing. They don't know much any
way, and I let 'em have all they can
make"

Mastication.

If your tendency is to gulp down
food like porridge and vegetables,
quite wet, the obvious remedy is to
eat them in a dry state, or else est
with them alternate mouthfuls of dry
bread or cracker. A cracker is admir-
able to induce mastication, for the
reason thatit compels oneto eat slowly
The tendency to moisten the food
continually while eating in some arti-
fetal way is responsible for much
rapid eating and imperfect mastica-
ton.

Poisoning the System.

It is through the bowels that the
body is clesnsed of impurities. Con-
stipstion keeps these poisons in the
system, causing headache, dulness
and melancholia at first then un-
slightly eruptions and finally serious
illness unless a remedy is applied.
DeWitt's Little Early Risers pre-
vent this trouble by stimulating the
liver and promote easy, healthy action
of the bowels. These little pills do
not act violently but by strengthen
ing the bowels enable them to per-
torn their own work. Never grippe
or distress. j. E. Kaufman.

Self Murder in Hot Weather.

It has long been a matter of obser-
vation that protracted hot spell is
always marked by many suicides.
The vital forces run low in hot
weather, the brain is frequently af-
fected by the heat, physical weakness
and prostration are common and life
loses many of it's attractions. The
result is an increase of suicide, which
diminishes as the temperature falls,
the atmosphere becomes purified
and vitality, energy and ambition
return.

Charges Conspiracy.

New York. Oct 10.-The Delaware
& Hudson company, one of the roads
controlling the hard coal fields, through
its vice president, David Wilcox, has
requested the President to take action
against the United Mine Workers, under
the Sherman act, on the ground that the
organization is illegal and is conspiring
to restrain trade among the States. In
his letter Mr.. Wilcox quotes a number
of established authorities to show that
the national government can proceed
against the Union. "The coal of the
country" Wilcox argues, sis the most
important subject of its interstate conf
merce. The mine workers association
consists of a combination of persons
employed in the production of coal in
many states of the union"
He recites that the Delaware & Hud-
son Company was chartered by the State
of New York for the purpose Of supply
ing that State with coal. Gas the result
of the mine workers association" he
continues, "this interstate commerce of
this corporation has been, for the time
being, in great part destroyed. Obvious
~ combination which has this direct
effect upon an established interstate
business, is in every sense a restraint
thereon" He also says: at seems
very clear that a suit would lie against
the members of the United Mine Work
ers' Association as a combination in re-
straint of interstate commerce within the
act of July 2, 1890, and that prelimi-
nary injunction would be granted which
could be enforced by all the power Of
the national government. This precise
course was followed in the Debs case, not
merely on account of interference with
the mails, but also on the ground of re-
straint of shipments from one State to
another. 1t is submitted that this course
would be proper in the present case. 1t
would destroy the illegal combination to
which the present strike is due. The
Delaware & Hudson Company, therefore,
most earnestly requests that proper action
be taken under the aforesaid statute"
This letter is looked on in some quar-
tiers as challenge to the miners to fight
it out to the last. The operators remain
stubborn and show no sign of yielding an
inch.
