With His Own Weapon.

When Ole Bull visited Lexington, Ky., Mr. Clay wrote him a note regretting his inability to attend his concert. The next day the violinist entered Mr. Clay’s house and in a room adjoining the one in which Mr. Clay was seated, played “The Last Rose of Summer.” “Ah, that must be Ole Bull!” The doors were thrown open and they embraced. By “The Last Rose of Summer,” in fact, it sseems that Ole Bull took captive all our statesmen. At any rate, a number of Senators asked him to play in Washington. Mr. Bennett offered him the columns of the Herald to reply to his French rivals, and Ole Bull replied: “I tink, Mr. Bennett, it is best tey writes against me and I play against tern.”
