Rev. H. R. Moseley gave Interesting accounts
or missionary work Id Mexico, Rnd told about
bis recent Imprisonment by the authorities
of that country because of a pamphlet written
by him and published In the United
Suites denouncing Catholicism in Mexico.
This pamphlet had been sent from the United
States to Mexico and had been translated into
Spanish, many portions being omitted
thereby materially changing in many instances
the original meaning, and scattered
broadcast throughout that country. He was
released from prison on the grounds that the
pamphlet was not originally published in
Mexico. He spoke of the extreme poverty of
the people, asserting that nine-tenths of the
inhabitant* of Mexico live worse that the
poorest negro In the United States.

THE BLUE AND THE GRAY.
Au Article on the Life and Character
of Henry Clay.
We have received a copy of the "Blue and
the Gray" for August. Among the notable
contents is an article by Walter L. Miller,
Esq., of the Abbeville Bar, on Henry Clay,
which we have read with Interest.
Henry Clay was one of America's greatest
statesmen, and during the fifty years ot bis
public lite, beginning with the century and
ending in 1852, he took an important and
leading part in all the questions that agitated
this country. He pushed vigorously the war
of 1812, with the British, and when negotla
Hons lor peace were Inaugurated ne resigned
the speakership of the House of Representatives
and In 1814 sailed for Europe as a peacemaker.
He opposed National Banks In early life,
but afterward was a zealous advocate of the
system.
He was tbe author of tbe "Missouri Compromise."
In 1833 wben a collision between federal authority
and the State of South Carolina was
Imminent he proponed a tariff compromise,
which was accepted by large majorities of
both houses of Congress, though opposed by
President Jackson.
Mr. Clay took an important part in recoglulzlng
the independence of Texas, and Congress.adopted
bis suggestions. Afterward be
objected to tbe absorption of Texas while
this country was Ht war with Mexico.
He always sought amicable and satisfactory
arrangement of the questions involved in
slavery.
He was always regarded as a Kentucklan,
but was born near Richmond, Va., April 12,
1777, and died in Washington June 29, 1352.
He married Lucretia Hart, who survived
Mr. Clay until 1864. Eleven children were
born to them. The six daughters died early.
They had five sons, one was killed at Buena
Vista, In 1847. Auother represented his father's
district in Congress.
Upon the whole, this country has not produced
a more remarkable man, or one who
took a more active part In the affairs of tbe
nation for fifty years.
