' ? correspondent furnishes the Denver Tri? bune with the following characteristic anecdotes Of Henry Clay: "The course of Mr. Clay on the compromise measures was very unsatisfactory to the South, and his own State denounced his action as free? ly as any. It was the usual custom, on his ar? rival home to spend the summer months, for a large concourse of people to be present to wel? come and shake hands with him when he left l-tte stage. Now, except a few personal friends, there were none; and they had even talked of | electing a Democrat in his place. Clay got into hisearriage, which was as rickety a concern as can well be imagined, and rode home in lnoody silence. We knew he was mad, and said among ourselves: "There will be h?11 to Sty." The following day he did not go out.? uring the second day, his servant went to his room and informed him that a crowd was at the ? door. "Begone !" was the only response. The -negro went down and told the crowd that "Mr. Clay was quite nnwell, and the fatigue of trav? el had-greatly prostrated him. The doctor had just left, and forbidden his seeing company, but he would be happy to see them as soon as able." For several days this went on. People then began to call meetings and send committees. The State officers finally took it up, and invited him to give an address. 1 never shall forget that speech. His voice was like ?i bugle, and swelled to trumpet calls. His eyes glowed like fire. He frothed at the mouth, and defied them with the eloquence and power of a demon. Bnt it took the gallant Kentuckians by storm, and he was again elected to the United States Senate. Clay owed $30,000, for which there was a mortgage on Ashland. The interest was al ways paid- punctually, but he could never reduce the principal, and this at length became a source of j great annoyance to him. In 1844, when he vis? ited the bank to pay the interest as usual, the old French clerk handed out the note. "What does this mean ?" inquired Clay, under the im? pression that they had refused to let it run any longer; and he knew of no way to meet it. "TJie note is cancelled, sir," replied the clerk; ^?yow owe this bank nothing." "My God!" said Clay, "have I friends as good as this ?" He was affected to tears, which is said to be the only time he was ever known to weep. John Clay was a wild, reckless fellow, and the favorite of his mother. In these days it was not beneath a woman's dignity to do some? thing, and she would often take in knitting, or pick berries, which 'she would send to town; and John would soon be on a spree- with the money. She was one of that sort who can never do enough in the world, and ose all their exertions to alleviate distress and the suffering ?round. One night it was whispered arounc among us boys that John had gone away to fight a duel. In the morning, as we went to our meal, we halted before entering the break? fast-room, as was our custom, waiting for Mr. Clay to come from his study and lead the way. We saw Mrs. Clay standing near by, and as he came out she rushed to him, throwing her arms about his neck, and sobbing out: "John has gooe to fight a duel." Never shall I forget the ncene or the expression of the old man's face. He had a terrible eye when aroused, and now it flashed fire. He seemed to rise to the height of two ordinary men. He took a step back? ward, and with his hand raised to the full length of his long arm, and with his finger quivering toward heaven, said with a voice that went through me like an electric shock: "My dear woman, if John is right, in God's name, let him fight, by Gfjd!" The poor woman went back to her room to weep. We followed Clay into the breakfast-room, where he ate Iiis toast and drank his tea in silence, and then returned io his study to read. Whatever his feelings as a father might be, they were not shown in his countenance or appearance. I have seen For? rest, Macre3dy and Booth, but they are tame to the voice, gesture and eye of Clay on that .occasion. . In the Fall of 1843, Nicholas Longworth, of] Cincinnati, sent to Mr. Clay a demijohn of na? tive wine. Mr. Longworth had imported the I .grape seed from wiue-makers in Italy, andi prided himself on having a splendid thing. It was a five-gallon demijohn, the stopper covered with wax, and stamped with the letter "L.r" ?There were six of us boys in the family, aver? aging some 16 or 17 years old. We used to study in the evening in our room; aud ? would borrow the cellar key of Mrs. Clay, aud bring up a pitcher of cider and a hat full of apples to help us along in our lessons. One night it was proposed we should taste of the Cincinnati Wine. We found a cork-screw, and carried up a pitcher full. It was capital, and before many days we found the demijohn empty. We knew T/lay was liable to want it at any time, and it must be filled. On the following night we took a servant, who toted the big bottle on his head .'to a small store-room, two or two and a half | miles away, kept by a negro, where we had it filled with whiskey at fifteen cents a gallon, which, with a quarter we gave the boy for help? ing us along, cost us a dollar. We had hard work getting this demijohn back to the house ? it was not shaped right for easy carrying? but at length it was safe in the cellar. We had previously made some wax about the color of | that which was on the stopper, aud had carved a letter "L" out of a piece of bark. The bottle was duly sealed, stamped and deposited in its proper place. In 1844, the prospects were that Mr. Clay might be President, and he thought so himself. He gave a grand dinner, among hisgnests being John J. Crittenden and Tom Corwin. Every one was in the best of spirits, and1 after the ladies retired the merriment was even higher than before. We boys remained, . never being excluded from his great dinners.? As'the party were about rising, said Clay: "Gentlemen, I have some of the finest wine in the world, and the first native American ever * manufactured; and there can be no more fitting opportunity for testing its merits than the pres? ent. John, do you know whereabouts in the cellar that bottle of wine is which was sent to me from. Cincinnati?" "Yes, sir," replied the servant. "Do you think, John, you can bring that demijohn here, under your arm, and not .-hake it up V "Yes, sir." "Well go." Ina few minutes John came back with that big live gallon demijohn under his arm. "Now, John, set it down and take out the cork." The cork came out pretty easy?it had been out before. "Now, John, lake that demijohn in under your arm again and tilt out a little in all the glasses.'" John again took the demijohn under his arm and went around filling all the glasses, while we looked on in woeful silence. "Now, gentle? men," couiinued Clay, "we will drink this ? standing, to the health of my friend Longworth, of .Cincinnati." He raised the glass to his lips, stopped, and gave a look about the table. We six were just going out of the door in single file, just as fast as our legs could carry us. We 1 heard the word "Boys!" in the lion-voice of. Clay, but the remainder of the sentence was I drowned in the shouts of laughter from his 1 guests. Formerly, a very large, well-known, and somewhat noted Billy goat roamed at large the streets of Washington, and the newspaper boys, boot-blacks, and street-imps generally, made common cause against him. Clay never liked to see dumb animals' abused or worried, and on one occasion, while passing down the avenue, a large crowd of these mischievous urchins were at their usual sport. . Mr. Clay, with his walk? ing-stick, drove them away, giving them a sound lecture in the meanwhile. As they scampered off and scattered in every direction, Billy, see? ing no one but Mr. Clay within reach, made a charge on him. Clay dropped his cane and caught his goatship by the horns. The goat would rear up, being nearly as high as the tall Keutuckian himself, and the latter would pull him down again. This sort of sport soon be? came tiresome, and he could conceive of no way by which he could free himself from the two horned dilemma, so in his desperation he sang out to the boys to know what to do. One of the smallest in the crowd shouted back: "Let go and run, you d??d fool 1" Clay al? ways maintained that, though he signed the treaty of peace at Ghent, yet that ragged boy knew more than he did. Our Fences. More than thirty years ago, the, writer of a f>aragra*ph:in'the Philadelphia Public Ledger istened to an'agricultural address delivered by the late Nicholas Biddle, at the aunual exhibi? tion of the Philadelphia Society for the Promo? tion of Agriculture. We were particularly struck with two things he then enunciated. One was.that fences were made to retain cattle within' the particular premises enclosed, and not to shut them out from such enclosed prem? ises. The idea, though seemingly a very sim? ple one, was new, and against the almost uni? versally received opinion of farmers and the Eublic as to the purpose of fencing. It was elieved up> to that time that the highways were public pasture grounds, ou all of which any one and everybody were free to graze their stock at pleasure, and; indeed, on the adjoining .premises, .Unless the owner thought fit to pro? ject tfiehvby legal fencing, for statute law pre? scribed their height and character. Even then a larger-privilege than this was accorded the pastures of what used to be called "the long farm," as the highways were sometimes desig? nated. Accident or death resulting from the wandering of thisstodk at large was not at the risk of the owners, but at the cost of the rail? ways whose tracks might be invaded with damage to the roving herd. The price of the injured or killed cattle was considered so equi? table a claim that it was paid invariably with? out a question. Frpm the date of this memo? rable address, delivered by Mr. Biddle from a rude platform of rough boards, to a company of intelligent, sunburnt farmers, the sentiments to which he then gave utterance have gradually spread, not only all over this country, but all over the world, and are now the recognized law of the courts as well of the highway. The cost of fencing is not to~be borne to keep cattle trespassing upou the public roads from tres? passing also upon private property, nor is the penalty upon the railway companies when cat? tle roaming at large are injured or killed. The loss is to the owner, and in some instances the courts have gone farther, and put penalties on the owners of the stock for the damage done to the property of the railway companies and their passengers by throwing the train off the track. It is a wholesome and most equitable change, and we can now but wonder that the old custom "was so long endured. And yet this great and important revolution in public senti? ment was first publicly started by a man made eminent by his learning and his position, it is true, but before a comparatively few and unin fluetrtkl'citizens. The other startling fact made by Mr. Biddle was the very large proportion of the farmer's capital that was invested in his fencing. In the State of Pennsylvania alone, he said, a careful estimate showed that at least a hundred millions of dollars were invested at that time in fencing. Much attention has since been given to this branch of the then new thought, and great economy has been effected ; but still the amount of capital is greatly beyond the estimatc'of any one who has not given the matter special attention. Cheaper material for fences has been found, and movable fences for the necessary division of fields are common. In addition to this, instead of laws p:issed by the Legislature prescribing the height of a fence to turn outside cattle, we have now stat? utes which protect the fanners' premises in certain localities from invasion in the absence of all fencing. Fences cost enough in cities, but that cost bears a small proportion to the charges for them in the country at large. When city ueoplc go into the country, they see little to admire in the post and rail, the worm fence, the rough stone walls, the slightly-strung wire, or even the white palings of the villages. The fence is an American institution and habit, and a costly one it is. Illinois is said to have ten times .the fencing of Germany, and Dutchcss county, New York, more than all France. These^a/ks show that these brown and dingy division "marks, overgrown with briars and thistles,- are an enormous tax on -the industry of the country, and all to keep stock from tres? passing. Some of these days, under the care? ful tillage of the old world, fences will disap? pear, and land "boundaries will be marked with fruit and shade trees, or neat hedge rows, and the country wjll present a much improved ap? pearance.?Chester County (Pa.) Republican. Interesting to Whiskey Drinkers.? The Philadelphia Price Current says that the Western distillers have recently invented anew way of manufacturing whiskey, by means of which a peculiar strength and odor arc impar? ted to the product,' highly injurious to the health of consumers, and certainly not credit? able to those engaged in its sale. Neither the noxious ingredients themselves nor the process of manufacture is known to many outside the ring, but sufficient has leaked out to .--how the character of the men and the business. Sul? phuric acid*is blended with the mash, or ap? plied directly to the product of the stills, which imparts a disagreeable odor to the whiskey; and so powerful is its effect upon it, that it cor? rodes and eats up the inside of the barrels in which the foul compound is kept. Another feature of this rotgut, sold under the name of whiskey, is that it cannot be ex? tracted by process of distillation, re-distillation or rectification. This fact has caused its pres? ence to be traced in high wines purchased from the West by respectable distillers here, and prompted them to shut down on the nefarious traflic as injurious to life and the best interests [ of the trade. By experiment, it has been tes? ted that if a small piece of iron or copper is in? serted into a barrel of whiskey adulterated with this acid, the entire mass will be instant? ly blackened ; and if left in it for a short time will evolve a large quantity of acetate of cop? per verdigris. Such a compound cannot fail to prove fearfully injurious to the public heal ti if brought into general use; and we arc glad to prcceive that a combined effort is contem? plated by the trade altogether. II" this be not sufficient, the consequences are sufficiently se? rious to call for some legislative enactment by I which the sales of this poisonous stuff shall be. prohibited under the severest penalties. ? Artemus Ward was once on a slow Cali? fornia train, and went to the conductor and suggested that the cow Icclcher was on the wrong end of the train, for said he : "You will never overtake.a cow, you know; but if you'd put it on the other end it might he useful, for now there's nothing on earth to /tender a cow from walking right in and biting the folks." ? An Iowa merchant sent a dunning letter to a-man, who replied by return mail: "You say you are holding my note yet. That U all right, perfectly right. Just keep holding on to it, and if you find your hands slipping, spit on them and try it again. Yours affectionate? ly." ? An Arkansas editor appeals to the "dissi ples of siense" in his town to celebrate the "fourth-coming Humboldt cemetery." , Writing Editorials. Of course there isn't a more delightful spot in the world than an editorial sanctum. If you doubt it, just ask any man who has spent several years there, wearing out his brains in Eerpetual efforts at first-class articles. Here is ow a writer in the Detroit Free Press talks about the pleasures peculiar to the deep, grim silence of the sanctum : "Yesterday morning I commenced an article entitled "The Unseen Influence of the Spirit World," and had got as far as to say that 'Al? though we hear no voices, there is some subtle influence pervading the -' when a man came up with a demand for a correction of an article charging him with bigamy. You have to keep right on with an idea "when you get hold of it, and so I run him in: "Pervading the air about you all the time Peter Smith has called at this office to say that the unheard voices coming from the dead often swerve us from he isn't the man mentioned as having two wives the path marked out by the obstinate-" (Here another man came in and wanted a notice of his new building.) u-spirits which refuse to yield to that new block on Michigan avenue, although Smith is directly charged by the police with a marble front and 120 feet deep. At night, after the day's toil, who does not love to sit down and let his mind run to the mysterious shadowy basement under it, and stone caps above the windows we take great pleasure in setting Smith right before his fellow-citizens, and-" (Here a man came up and wanted to look at a State map, although he could have found one down stairs.) "Certainly, sir; look at all the State maps you want to, and call back the spirit of some dead friend gone before as will ascertain the name of the policeman who wrongfully accused Mr. Smith of having a front ige on Michigan avenue, which helps the look of that street very much, and you will find the county of Hillsdale further to the left of that land from which no one has ever returned to tell us whether our friends are sad or joyful-" (Here a boy came up and wanted to sell some tonka beans to keep moths off.) "Thank ye, bub, don't want any tonka beans, if you ever want to look at any more of our map? come right up with a Mansard roof to crown all and Smith is now set right before the public and his friends generally, who have thus improved the town and commune with them as to whether a moment of sadness does not occa? sionally steal OTer them as they think of the fond friends left behind come up again and I'll talk with you about the tonka beans and every patriotic citizen ought to keep a State map in his new block on Michigan avenue Smith states that one of his wives deserted him in Illinois, and the other-" (Here a subscriber came in and wanted to know why no paper was issued the day after Thanksgiving.) "Because it was a day set apart for one hun? dred and forty-four windows in the entire block with tonka beans enamelled on State maps to mourn their early departure through the valley and the shadow of death I don't want you to bother me any more Mr. Smith about your wives and come bub get right down stairs now with your beans to that spirit land where all is joy and peace the compositors wanted a hol? iday and it's against the principles of Chris? tianity to?" (Here a boy came up with a basket of ap? ples.) "Forever more can't eat apples owing to my teeth and Smith is now made good for any beans which any State map connected with this office has nothing but joy and peace to mark the never-ending time I'll break your neck if you say apples to me again and you see that new block spoken of has no bigamy to prove the moths don't apple the tonka beans sold in Hillsdale county." Important to the Holders of Mutila? ted currency.?It is announced by the Treasury Department that from and after the 1st, inst. defaced or mutilated United States notes and fractional currency, instead of being re? deemable as now only by the United States Treasurer, subject to discount for mutilation, will be redeemed at their full face value in new notes or currency by the Treasurer, the several assistant 'treasurers and designated deposito? ries of the United States, and all national bank depositories, and will be received at their full face value by all officers of the Treasury De? partment in payment of currency dues to the United States,.provided that three-fifths of the original proportion of the notes are presented in one piece Fragments less than five-eights will be redeemed only by the Treasurer of the United States. If more than one-half and less than five-eights is presented, half of the face value will be paid. Less than half a note will be redeemed only on affidavit that the missing portion has been totally destroyed.' Under the rules any person, firm, bank, cor? poration, or public officer, will be permitted to forward five dollars and upwards in fractional currency, and fifty dollars and upwards. jn le? gal-tender notes, for redemption to the Treasu? ry, by express, at the expense of the Depart? ment, under the Government contract with Ad? am's Express Company. Heretofore nothing less than &r)00, was entitled to transportation at Government expense. A circular embody? ing these changes is now pcrparing in the Treasurer's office. The officers of the Treasury are determined to remove all cause for complaint concerning the condition of the United States currency, and to that end have concluded to extend "to all the most liberal facilities for its redemption. A Presidential Candidate.?The first candidate actually nominated for the next Pres? idency is George W. Julian, the Indiana ex member of Congress. The Labor Reform par? ty of California has put him in the field. Ju? lian was au original Free Soiler. In 1852 there was a convention held at Pittsburg, Penn., and a party organized under tho name of the "Free Democracy." John P. Hale of New Hampshire was nominated for the Presi? dent, and George W. Julian of Indiana for Vice President. This ticket received in the Northern States 1.07,296 votes, or about one half of one per cent, of the entire popular vote of the Union ; the other candidates being Gen end Pierce and General Scott. The barty which nominated Julian as its first Vice Presi? dential candidate, afterward grew to be the con troling power in the country, but Mr. Julian was pushed aside by more vigorous politicians. He represented Indiana in Congress for sever? al terms, but being defeated four years ago by a Democrat, retired from politics. Latterly, however, he has exhibited a disposition to take the stump in favor of Woman Suffrage. The strong-minded can hardly do less than indorse the action of the Labor Reformers. Mr. Jul? ian will thus become a formidable opponent of Mrs. Victoria Woodhull, who has nomina? ted herself as the regular Woman's Rights can? didate for the White House, and the (inference may prove disastrous to the harmony of the party. As a candidate for President, Mr.'Jul? ian's friends arc not expected to bet extrava? gantly on his favorable prospects. A Negro Bank on the White Folk's Plan.?Sam Johnson, of New Orleans, was a great authority on the levee, and ?rtc day he called his satellites together and addressed them on the importance of adopting a fiscal policy more nearly resembling that which had raised to opulence their Caucasian neighbors. "Nig? ger?," said he, "if you want to get rich you must save your money. Yon must have a bank. Dat's de way de white folks does."? These words fell on a propitious soil. The project went into swift execution, and the earn? ings of the week were promptly forthcoming. "Niggers," says Sam, "I will be de cashier; you must'posit de money wid-mc, and when you want any you must thaw onto it. Dat's do way dc white lolks docs." All went merrily for a while, and the depositors were highly" elated about "de bank." But by and by there began 1 to be trouble?not with the deposits, but with the drafts. It was found easier to get funds in? to this model institution than get them out again, and Sam was compelled to i'aec the an? gry customers and explain. "Its all right," says he, "de bank's only suspended, and in a few days she will 'again resume;' dat's de way de white folks does." This expedient lasted but a little while, however; suspicions of foul play day by day increased, and the storm was about to burst on the head of the great operator, when he found it expedient to gather once more his infuriated depositors and "face the music" frankly. "Niggers," said he, "dar ain't no use a mou'in' about it! De money's spent, and de bank's broke 1 and dat's de way de white folks does 1" ? The Ladies' Monument Association of Sumter has adopted a design for a monument to the Confederate dead, and the corner-stone will be laid at an early day. The design is a broken shaft, and on the monument will be in? scribed the names of Sumter's gallant dead. SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANO. Price $45 Cash, with usual Advance on Time.
