Remdnlscences of Henry Clay. Eli Grant is an aged neo lving I Lounisville, Ky. Whien Eli was aot 13 years old he went on a trip to New Orleans with his master, Edward Carter, a wealthy planter. There he had occa sion to act for a few days as the valet of Henry Clay, who was then visiting in the Crescent City. He was a bright, sprightly boy, and the statesman be cane so much attached to him that he bought him from his master, paying the rather-stiff price of $1,200. In a short time he went to his new master's home, at, Ashland, and lived as the favored ser vaiit of the man " who would rather be right than be President " for a number of years. "I kin remember old Mr. Clay jest like it wur yisterday," said Eli. "I allers loved him, and [allers love to talk about him." Then the old man went on to talk about some of Mr. Clay's char acteristics in domestic life. He said that he was exceedingly fond of his wife, and in addressing her always called her "my dear." He was kind and indulgent to his children and generous in his treat ient toward his servants. His favorite child was Anna, the wife of Mr. James Irvine, whose death was announced to him while he was at a fashionable din ner party in Washington. The news caused a fearful shock, and Eli thinks that it was the prime caise of his mas ter's death, which occurred a short time afterward. His hobby at home was his stock. He was passionately fond of fine horses and cattle, and would always see per sonally that they had the best attention. Eli tolls of a fine Nefoundland dog that' was presented to his master by an ad miring friend who lived in Nova Scotia. The dog was very intelligent, and the "Sage of Ashland" trained him with his own hand to perform a number of wonderful tricks, one of which Eli re members to be as follows: In one of the pastures in which Mr. Clay allowed his finost stock to run was a fine well with a large trough attached, by means' of which the cattle were supplied with water. The water was drawn from the well by the bucket and spindle system but it required a great deal of manual labor to keep it in operation. To avoid this, Mr. Clay constructed a small tread. miiill, attached it to the spindle of the well with an iron crank, and then trained the dog to walk the treadmill. In this manner the trough was kept constantly filled with water, and the clever dog be came so accustomed to the performance that, without the necessity of being bid den, ho made it his duty to watch the well constantly, and see that the trough always had in it a sufficient supply of water to keep the coppers of the blooded stock cool. Mr. Clay loved the dog, and was very fond of watching him go through with the treadmill performance. In speaking of Mr. Clay's fondness for horses, EIli tells of a fine race mare the statesman owned called the Golden Cup. Upon a certain occasion the mare was matched to run a four-mile race against a famous horse owned by Col. Sidney Burbridge. The race came off at Lexington, and everybody in that p~art of the country was p resent. Col. Abe Buford, old man Shy, and other distinguished turfmen were backing the mare, while Col. Burbridge, Gen. War field, and other well-known horsemen were playing the horse. "The race wur run," said Eli, " from eend to eend, and when dey come out a puffin' and a snortin' at do end of de four miles de Golden Cup was just de length of her mane in do lead. D)e old marse he jest fell on de mar's neck an' he laughed like he had gone clean mad. He kissed de Golden Cup an' sent her home, an' after dlat nebber allowed her to do another lick of work. An' I tell you," said old Eli, growing confidential, "Marse Clay just won $30,000 on dat race, 'case I seed de -money all in big bank bills, and de very next week he went to work hisself and guy me a pair of brown-lined store shoes dat cost hum free dollars in Lexington." --Louisville_(Courier-Journa. Anecdote of Lord Redesdale. Early one morning he made his way to the mansion of the Earl of Lucan. He had started for the races, and was dressed in sporting garb, his cap put on awry and a cigar between his lips. He rang att the front door, and the Earl's best man -an exqusite of the first water-an swered the summons. " Is the Earl at home?" " No, sir! Trhe Hearl is not at 'ome." H~e mistook the caller for a sportive ser vant, very likely seeking hemploy ment. "1Do you know if he has gone to Wind sor, my manl" " No, 1 don't know hif 'e 'as gone to Windsor. But I'll tell you what I do know: You'd be a doin' of yerself a wast deal o' credit hit you'd honly just run around to the sign o' the Bell an' Crown, hand fetch me a pot of 'alt-an' 'alf." " Hall right, where's your money?" " Wy-blessyou! I don't find money for them as I has to hanswer the bell for. 'Aven,'t you got a sixpenny bit of yer own?" "I guess I can find one." And away his lordship went, really enjoy'ng the thing, and shortly returned wit a tan kard of foaming hahf-an'-half. The valet drank it with a keen relish -emptied the pot-and then offered to return it, with: " There, mygood fellow-I'm much-" But the visitor put the pot back, and cut the speech short with: " Return the tankard yourself, my man, and when your master returns, be kind enough to tell him that Lord Redes dale called." His lordship left the dazed and con founded valet supporting himself against the door-post, the porter-pot fallen to the floor, his face the picture of horror and despair, looking for all the world like one who wished he had never been borni (*EN. (*ABFrELD, a correspondent notes, now receives hundreds of news-. papers with the articles marked refer ring to him. He is gaining an experi ence as an exchange reader, and all kinds of experience are needed as the head of a great nation. lIN one of its misanthropic moments the Detroit Pree Press says: " The av erage woman does not pretend to believe half she reads or what her neighbors tell her. It is only when she whacks up a dollar to a clairvoyant that she ex pects to get the real old solid gospel truth." How She Kept the Secre. There are peveral people living, in Tarrytown, N. Y., who rememberthe captors of Andre. A rather diverting incident connected with his capture is related by a New York paper, showg' the excitable temper of those old war times. Every movement was critical, and news traveled too slowly to be kept long after it was received. ; rs. See, an old woman livn g on the Bedford road, about two miles [row the Tarrytown depot, tells a picturdso* tale of events succeeding the captthe of Maj. Andre, as it was told her by t4e. participanis. The men-called "Skinners"-who captured Andre went directly to " Miu' Tavern," near White Plains-a hostelry presided over by Aunt Polly Reed. Aunt Polly was notorious for her curiosity and inability to keep a secret. While the ham and eggs were sizzling in the pan for the hungry " Skinners, Aunt Po17y was struggling to ascertain the identity of the *melancholy young stranger, who was so handsomely clothed in a blue overcoat, claret-colored coat, and nankeen waistcoat and breeches. Finally Paulding seized her by the wrist and drew her close to him. "Can you keep a secret ?" "Yes!' stammered the old woman, with hardly suppressed eagerness. " We've got a British spy." In three minutes the old wofian had intrusted household cares to her girl, saddled her white horse, and was gallop ing off to the next house, in a place then called "Twitchings." The " Skinners" finished their meal, and departed toward " Twitchings." As they ap proached the house they caught sight of Aunt Polly flying up the road on her white horse, daylight showing between herself and the saddle at every leap. Her hair streamed out behind. In one hand she swung her huge poke-bonnet' by the strings, while she shrieked in a q shrill, quavering voice, " They've got the spy ! They've got the spy I" Wanted a Change. A New York firm daling in pictures, niottoes, etc., was visited by a small dealer from a village over in Jersey, and the man was greatly struck with the motto: "God Bless Our Home." "Now, that's something original and unique," he said, as lie held one at arm's length. "Down in our town we just hanker after original designs, and unique literature, and I believe I can sell a hundred of these. You may make my order an even hundred." He went away well pleased, and his goods were duly shipped, and nothing more was heard from him until the other day. Then he entered the store to make some new purchases, and he was asked to look at a new style of mottoes just out. "I hain't ino more interest in mottoes," lhe sighed, as lhe glanced at "What 'is home without a miother?'' "You remember I bought a hundred of you last fall?" "Yes: and how did they sell?" "Well, everybody seemed to hanker after 'em, and they went off like hot cakes. I sold the whole lot out in two weeks, and in less than a month there were three slander suits, twvo applications for divorce, and a dozen assaul and bat tery cases in the courts." "But you don't lay it to the mottoes, do you? "Well, I dunno. I've lived in Jersy 27 years, and been in this business ove~r 20, and I think a dollar chromo, showing a pretty fair hill, a glorious sunset, and a decent sort of pond with a duck in it, hits our, case a little better than anything else. I've got to get something for a change, and if you haven't anything good in refine scenery Y guess Ill try 'em on Washington crossing the Dela ware and a few Daniels in the Lion's Den."-WI all Street_.Daily News. (St. Louis Chronicle.) TIal by Jury. Sonmc people helieve that this form of trial is not perfectly free fromi prejudice. But in our section, St. .Jacob~s Oil has been tried by that gr; at jury-the pulie-anfd been judged the infallible cure for Rhieu matismn anmd all painful diseases. Tau finest floors are said to be seen in Russia. For those of the highest grade tropical woods are exclusively employed. Fir and pine are never used, as in conse quence of their sticky character they at tract and retain dust and dirt, and there by soon become blackened. Pitch pine, too, is liable to shrink, even after being well seasoned. The mosaic wood floors in Russia are of extraordinary beauty. Those Vassar Girls. .This is the way a Vassar girl tella- a joke : " Girls I I heard the best thing to-day. It was just too funny. I can't remember how it came about1 but one of the girls said to Prof. Mitchell-oh, dear!i I can't remember )ust what she said, but Prof. Mitchell s answer was just too funny for any use. I forget just exactly what he said, but it was too grood for any thing I" (Sparta (Wis.) Heraldl.] As an exhibition of the intrinsic worth of St. .Jacobs Oil, we think the ease referred to, that of Mrs. 0. WV. Hubbard, of this town, cured of Sciatic Rheumatism of long stand ing b~y the Oil, is certainly striking, andl, bie ,vondl all doubt, conclusive as to its enficacy. 'fhe remedly has our indorsemnent.

"Tirs fashion of wearing no gloves," sxclaimsr the Boston Post, "is a blame rraud. With gloves you can have three or four strings tied around each finger with hard knots at the back, and folks would think it was a lot of diamond rings." _______ The Beet LIf Preservers Wa.rner's at Lrnoy anA I Aer Onns. Ridiqg by the foot o$ lattin, over the where 700- year ago, Saladin an nihilated the Crusaders ower in Pales tine; we at length reached a ridge vbiV we looked out on the distant hm. of Bashan, and far below us on a 4ark blue pear or harp-shaped sheet of Water, ly ing snugl i a deep irclosure of high brown * . Though less thml thirteen miles long and seven miles broad, yetj measured by the events it has witnes~d, it in a kind of Pacific ocean. It was the Sea of Galilee. Az we moved over the long way down-, ward to its level-850 feet below the Mediterranean sea-we had time to fix and grasp its whole aspect and -sur roundings. It lacks boldness of outline,. for its hills slope gradually back from the shore, or leave a narrow plain, as at Gennesaret and Buthia. But the lights and shadows lie sweetly on the hillsde at night and morning; the northern end is broken into pleasant little bays and Hermon looms grandly up beyonA, far off, yet seemingly near. The whole as poet of the lake is one that suggests the thought and the lack of beautiful homes. It was still a long ride to the lake. The region we were passing, once brimful of life and activity, was -utterly forsaken now. The entire lake lay spread before us, and nearly the whole of its coast line, along or near which once lay the cities of 'larichea, Tiberias, Hippo, Ga mala, Gergesa, Bethsaida, Ohorazin, Ca pernaumn, Madala and Beth Arbel. Of these cities, Tiberias once had its Senate of 600; Gamala was able to resist and defeat Vespasian at the head of three legions, and when captured by Vespa sian and Titus it lost 400 in the fight, and 5,000 who hurled -themselves, or were pushed down the precipices; while Tarichea, according to Josephus, was able to furnish 16,500 for slaughter in a sea fight with the Romans, 1,200 slain in cold blood in the stadium, 6,000 cap tive youth to dig for Nero in the isth mus, and 30,000 to be sold into slavery. The only existing representatives of this strength and activity were the little clus ter of huts called Medjel (Magadala) and the shrunken Tiberias, with its 2,000 in habitants. From our path not a ves tige of the other places could be dis cerned. It was near sunset when we en tered Tiberias. We followed the road through the gate, but could easily have passed through the rents in the walls. The now squalid city, mentioned but once in the New Testament, has been the chief lome of Jewish learning since the destruction of Jerusalem, Here the Jerusalem Talmud was completed, and here is now what may be called the pres ent theological school of the Jews.

ACCORDING to a paragraph in the COrn ell Era, nearly all the professors in Cornell University use tobacco. So long as they use without abusing it, why shouldn't they if it pleases them.

The Boston Globe has made a happy dIeali. In an extraordinary special edition dlated January 1, "1981," it presentsq the news of one hundred years from now, in a highly in teresting and elating manner.

To read-' it i., to have grace andl flexibility imparted to the I tel lect, and a strong dlesire to live on-as the p~oet would express it. The publio were shocked, not .o1g since, by the socount of the death'of 'a lady, the daughter of one of the mostr enunen' profeaioualmaen 1in 0 u1 e from a ovetddsee. of morphine. The wretched story was published all '6v the country. There is no impropriety, therefore, in our pointing the young girls who are our readers to its meanMg. The woman wap young and beautiful. She had I calture, anid was by nature gentle, hn- lovable. A- fewv years ago she began to take opium for some' dft' ease, and soon became its victim. All her str'g ggpAag*in) w were in vai.- At an age when she should have been' in the- full vigor 99 her womanhood, 'a happy and retired wife and mother, she died alone, and her downfall and dis grace were blazoned in every city of the Union. Opiun drunkenness is said to be on the lnera'se'in .this country,- aail it pro vails largely among women. Very few matrons or young.ladies, when suffering from weakness or nervous disorders, would resort to brandy or whisky. But a dose of laudanum, or some other anodyne, they regard as harmless. Physicians too, heedlessly prescribe sonething which they vaguely call "drops" to an overworked mother, or young girl exhausted by incessant danc lug and flirting, when the Vroper rem edies would be a few weeks rest from labor and care, and a more wholesome, rational life. American women are, as rule, en ergetic. The busy housekeeper and the eager belle, find resort to a poemingly innocent little black bottle, when they are "run down," much easier than the giving up of work, or the sacrifice of balls and germans. Before they are con scious of their danger, they are victims to the most hopeless and terrible of ap petites-they are opium drunkards. It is probable that no one who has ever become Rddicted to this habit has been able to conquer it. Do Quincy wrote a book that for dramatic horror and pathos, has not its like in literature, to prove that It was possible to rise "out of the deep;" but he sank again, helpless and hope'ss. The best monograph on the opium habit written in America, was the work of a brilliant man of letters who believed himself cured, yet died its victim. Most of our readers can recall at least onc opium drunkard whom they have known. The livid, corpse-liko skin, the glassy eye, the vague air of terror, nre unmis takable. They are signs that the night mare, life in death, has seized its prey, and is dragging it surely down to the grave.- Youth's Comimanion. A Judicious Wife. A judicious wife is always nipping off from her husband's moral nature little twigs that are growing iu wrong direc tions. She keeps him in shape by con tinual pruning. If you say anything silly, she will affectionately tell you so. If you declare that you wil'l do some ab surd thing, she will find some means of preventing you from doing it.
