A Story of Henry CLAY.

The following anecdote OF Henry
Clay was told by one of his personal
friends:
While making the journey to Wash
ington on the National road, Just after
his nomination as candidate for the
presidency, he was travelling one
stormy night, wrapped up in a huge
cloak, on the back seat of the stage
coach when two passengers entered.
Thcy were Kentuckians, like himself.
He fell asleep and when he awoke
found them discussing his chances IN
the coming campaign.
What did Harry Clay go into poll
tics for?" said one. HE had good
bit of land; he had keen eye for
stock. If he had stuck to stock raising
he'd have been worth his fifty thou
sand. But now he doesn't own a dol
lar"
and" the great Kcntuckian used to
add, 1.-THE worst Of Ii was, every word
Of it was truew
1t was characteristic Of the man that
at the next stopping place he hurried
away and took another coach lest his
critics should recognize him and be
mortified at their unintentional rude
ness.

Haiti's Legion Of Honor.

It Is not generally known that the
famous order of the Legion Of Honor
was adopted at Haiti in 1910. When
Soulouque became emperor under the
name of Faustin l., he instituted an
order in imitation Of that which had
been established by Napoleon In 1902.
Statues, ribbons and insignia were pre-
cisely Identical. and since the sover-
eign Of Haiti distributed his honors to
all and sundry with lavish hand the
French government was considerably
embarrassed. The death Of Soulouque
ended the difficulty.-Paris Gaulois.

reservation does not apply.
