A VETERAN'S M LH OK I EM.
Some latcrtstinr Morien Never llerore MiBi From Iudiaiupoli News. The men wbo were iu the public service with thegi.mts, Web tor, Clay, Calhoun, Douglass, aai the other statesmen, so well known to the ol dera of the present goncrniian, andof whom so iitlio is known by the younger men of the clay, have become very few iu numbers. Among those who wore in Congress with thoe leaders is Hon. F. E. McClaln, of Ureencastle. Mr. MeClain was elected to the thirty first Congress, wl h out opposition, from his district in Kentucky, and ser-ed two years, when bis failing health compelled him to decline a re-nomination. He euj jyed a personal acquaintance with Webster, Clay and the other great men of that body, and was a close setver of them and the uffiirs of the time. Ho recently gave me some interesting reminiicenccs never before published. He wa an admirer of the oratory of Webster, who, however, In his intercourse with the members was very reclusive, though ho tried bard to be social. When he smiled, it reminded one of a ghastly griu. He was much more respectful to bis opponents th in was Calhoun, who would sot tolerate any differing from bis opinions. Calhoun was unable to be present at the opening of the session on account of ill health, and it was evident he had not much longer to live. Iu this connection thcr is an anecdote of Senator Uenton that has never been published, lienton had met both Clay and Webster in debate and was itching for a contest with Calhoun. When the latter returned to his seat ho made a bitter speech against Beutou's party, whose friends expected him to reply. Hut Benton took no notice of the attack. Some of his friends, Mr. McClaln among the number, asked for an ex planution. Drawing himself up with all the digeity imaginable, he replied: "When the Almighty lays his hand on a man I take mine off." Benton was probably the most egotistical man America ever produced, lie bad a babit of talking to himself, and as he frequently passed the hotel where Mr. MeClain, Col. Marshall of Kentucky and others were stopping, it became the subject of frequent remark. One evening Col. Marshall accosted him with the intei rogation: "Senator Benton, why do you talk to yourself so much?" With great dignity, Benton replied: "Col. Marshall I can tell you very earnestly nnd very truly why I talk to myself. I love to talk to a great man, and I love to bear a great man talk." Benton also had a bout with Henry Clay on the floor, which was carefully suppressed from the newspapers. Clay had made a direct attack on Benton, to which the latter undertook to reply. As a wit and humorist he had nut an equal in Congress. Beading a long advertisement of a cure all from a newspaper, he sarcastically compared it with Clay's omnibus bill, then before the house, saying that as.Townsend's was the only meritoilous sasarpat :11a, so all the measures incorporated In the bill were objectionablo until gathered up by Mr. Clay. He kept the Senate In a roar for some time, much to the chagrin of Clay, wbo finally interrupted Una with: "When Mr. Benton was canvassing his district in Missouri, ho opposed the ad-
i mission of California as a state." Mr.
Beutcu replied : "I want to say to the distinguished Senator that I gave that the lie mouths ago, but I now release
the Instigator ami hold the propagator responsible for it. I pick it up ami ram it down the throat of the Senator; let Mm swallow it if lie can." Clay replied: "I take it and hurl it back in the face of the gentleman with all the contempt with which it was offered; and let him, for the rest of his life, keep the slander in the casket where he keeps the other slauder." This was said with a gesture to the cravat, understood by all familiar with the politics of that time, refering to a boyhood indiscretion of Benton's. It was only with difileulty, by the interposition of Senators, that an encounter between them was prevented. The affair was quickly hushed up, but was much talked of by members at the time. Clay was tiaequalled socially. His manner, while not pretentious, made all feel his superiority. A highly oecomplished young lady, Miss Edwards, daughter o' ex Governor Edwards of Illinois, and a relative or Mr. MeClain, had been reared to venerate the great Kentuckian. Being lu Washington she visited the capitol for the f xprcss purpose of seeing him. When Clay was pointed out to her, as he sat leaning forward, bis chin on his hands, iu the most ungraceful n ition imaginable, she exclaimed: "Havo I been taught to look upon that horrid thing as a god?" Governor E Iwnnla was a warm frieud of Clay, and the Senator came immediately to an auteroom. In response to a request from Mr. McCluin. He was always susceptible to the charms of a beautiful woman. Upon being laltodBeed, Clay conducted Miss Edwards to a seat, with the manners of a Chesterfield, and astonished her by his conversational powers. After thsir departure she exclaimed: "The half has not been told; I felt like I was talking to the Almighty." iThese w re the opinions held by a woman of rare intellect ual power and refinement, of Heiy y Clay In two situations. He i.npressod ull by his courtly bearing. "Honest John Davis," of Vermont, was a m-inber of the thirty-tirst Congress, now remembered by but few. Ha was called Ciueinnatus by his compeers. Ou ono occasion it was important that lie should make a speech dujring the long vacation. He was found plowing corn, and no entreaties could prevail up n him to quit his farm until finally i is friends made up a purse of a hundred dollars to hire a imtu to take In - pl.ico in tho Held. H" could havu biien nominated and elected President at one time, but he was wrecked on the rock that has sunk tho lives of so m my meu of bright prospects. John Hiudolj h, who by nature was very aristocratic, resolved at ono timo to mix more freely with the common peopHe. Exchanging clothes with a Held hand, be sallied forth, carrying only a sm .11 valise. big fellow came putting Into the bar-room of the tavern where he stepped the first night and ordered a mint Julep, ns ho was "nearly dead with the heat." Directly afterwards another came lu ou tho same errand declaring himself to be "nearly frozen to death." Randolph step ped up to the bar with au order for the same beverage and the explanation, "I like it." The room after awhile became so full of tobacco smoke from tbo pipes of visitors that It was difficult to breathe. Randolph lighted an immense roll of tobacco, and walked complacently around with it under his arm. To the remonstrances of the others he replied: "I'm not smoking for pleasure, but in self-defense." None had a keener sense of the ridiculous than had John Randolph. Chaiilky Wallace. Greencastle, Ind., June 3. UuojaHcy in Business Circles. New York Cor. Chicago Journal. At co time since the panic of 1873 has there been such a hopeful feeling in business circles here as prevails at the present time. Everybody expresses tho opiuioA that we have now undoubtedly tutaed the corner, and that in the future w are to have another era of prosperity. The sales of some of the mercantile houses during the past two weeks have been ex ceedingly largo. For example: A Franklin fitreet firm, dealing in cotton goods, whose sales for the past three or four years have hardly amounted to $5,000 a week, sold bills of goods on Tuesday and Wednesday f last week amounting each day to over $100,000. Marchants from Philadelphia report to me a similar eucouragiug condition ot affairs in that city. The trade with the south, which existed pi lor to the war, is just now rapidly reviving, and the southern purchasers buy far more for cash than heretofore. The activity of New York real estate undoubtedly has had much to do iu imparting activity to trade circles. When the upward movent "üt in real estate here is fairly under way, an impetus will be given to all branches of trade, and we shall have lively times again. The wheat crop of Kansas this v at promises to equal and perhapse exceed that of 178, ii ud some estimates of the amount of the crop are as high

REMINISCENCES Of a Fenii'sylf niiia fluriMBM Who was a Member of I lie .'tstli OMfitMfc Indianapolis Journal. R-v A. Myers, of Pottsville, Pa., who occupied very acceptably the pulpit of the Frst Baptist Church, 1 ist Sunday, has only been engaged iu the work Of a clergyman about Ave years. Uulil about fifty years of nge he was a member of the legal profession, and also took a very active pait in politics. He was then a resident of Western Pennsylvania, and was elected as a member of the House of R-'presentnties to serve in the memorable Thirty-eighth Congress, from the Twentieth district, known at that time as the Oil district. The reverend gentleman yesterday, ia conversation with a Journal reporter, made reference to some of his congressional recollections : "Meeting a gentleman on the streets of your city, tho othr day," h said, "I at once recognized him as Thomas A. Hendricks, who was also a member of the House during the Thirty-eighth Congress, when the emancipation of the slaves iecdvd tho endorsement of the representatives of the people. I hIwh3's H'jred Hendricks personally, and therefore, when we met I accosted him by name. Your ex-Oovernor seemed a little takeu aback at first, but when I reminded him we bud served in Congress together, he at once remembered, and said: "Why, yea, Myns, Republican, from Pennsylvania, isu't it, and the recoguiti in was complete. Mr. Orth was also a member of the same Congress, and occcupled tht next seat to mine, so that we became well acquainted. Orth's name, I remomber, was just about In th middle of i he list of members, and the clerk, in reading his name, did not always say it quite plainly. A man was sitting by mo ono day who had been quite a frequent listner to the proceedings of tho Hou?e, ami when some vote was being taken ho made a curious inquiry: 'Tell me. Mr. Mycis, why does tlnj clerk always when ho ets to the middle of the roll-cull st,y 'tlod love us all?'" Upon his being informed that what tho cleik really said was 'üod lovo S. Orlh,' instead of 'Ü1 love us all,' he di !:ft look as though he wanted t(. usk for any moro iuformatijn that day. "Those wero mrmorablo days and exciting times. No one who Was in the Thirty - ihth Congress will over forKet the scenes that were witnessed on moro than ono occasion. I roinember as well as if it were but yesterday the night when the decisive vote on emancipation wu taken and the momentous question d-eiled. Just for a moment '.hero was perfect silence, and then tho storm broke forth. The members on the Republi ean side were wild with y. Speak er Colfux mildly rapped for order, butdi 1 not seem as if he wanted very much to bring the House to orderHe was as much elated as any one over the result. The colored people, of whom quite a number wero present, shouted lllory to God,' and manifested their -y iu their own peculiar fashion, und cheer niter cheer came from all parts of the House. "Some of the scenes wero very funny, but people didn't study the attitudes they placed themselves in. Griggs, of Michigau. had u puckuge of seed iu his ha-jds he hud just obtained from the department of agriculture, nnd iu bis excitement the paper burst and they were nil spilt on the iloor. 'I'm sowing the seeds of freedom,' he said 'never mind.' Two fat mambers run across the lloer of tho House and threw their arms about each other's necks, and hugged and cried with joy. It was such a ssene as is only witnessed once in a lifetime. I was a young man then almost the youngest member or the House. I can never forget tho wild tumult or joy of that moment when the right triumphed and the great struggle was over. "Another thing that I remember is a remark that President Lincoln made to me on one occasion when I had an interview with him. I had occasion to visit him iu regard to some ofliclal business, nnd when I was through with that I asked him if he had any objections to talk politics a few minutes. He said, 'I don't know as 1 have,' and then I said, 'Mr. Lincoln, they are talking of giving you a renominution.' It was then within two or three months of the dute of the Baltimore convention. He replied: 'Well, I do not desire a renominution. except for tho reason that such uctiou ou the purt of the Republican party would bo an emphatic endorsement of tho policy of my administiatlon.' In reply to a remat k ofmine that the most formidable candidate spoken of by the Democrats was (Jen. Crant, Mr. Liucolu made an observation wh ch imprewtd mo very much. Ho said, 'Well, If ho takes Richmond, let him have it.' He seemed to recognize that the brilliant success the General was achieving almost eutitled him to the most distinguished boner in the gift of tho rTation, As we all know, Lincoln was again chosen, but the Democrats preferred MeCiellan to Grant, probably because the latter was too piunouncod a Union man."
Discovery of Hieb ( 'upper and Silver Deposits in WsfMMaBi St. Paul rioueer-Press. Mr. Heury Allen, u geutleman who has had had long experience with the Indian, as a detective for tho government in hunting down parties guilty of selliiifr whisky to them, arrived in SL Paul yesterday. Mr, Allen reports tho discovery, a week since, of valuable silver and copper land, in tho denso Wisconsin forests, whi h h is created onsidotnbte ex citemrnt. Tho report us ho obtained it is well authenticated, and is to this effect: For tho past three or four years Charles and James Patrick, of Eau Claire, haviug been among the Chippewa Indians in and around the Lac Court Oiielles icservation, devoting their attention to watching a largo tract of timber land which they will soon come in possession of. James Patrick talks the Chippewa tonguo readily, and during a conversation with one of the old Indians on the reservation incidentally learned that within a few miles of the Lac Court Oi idles was a large tract of land teeming wrlb rich copper and silver ore. The whereabouts of this mineral strip was apparently known only to this Indian, who displayed large pieces of copper which he had s-eured, and positively refused to divulge his secret to the white men. Fifteen years ago this old Indian. while iu the pursuit of a doer in the winter, through the thick woods, founed a huge ledge rising abruptly out of the ground and covered with snow. It extended for a epace of live or six hundred feet, and afforded ex eellent shelter, of which the Indian availed himself. He discovered, partly hidden by moss, pieces of copper ore and secured several large specimens. These were the same up m which the eyes of Mr. Patriok rested and which aroused his curiosity. In vain for along while did he attempt to induce the discoverer to reveal to him this spot, making many liberal promises. Several weeks since the Indian named hi s price, SöOO and a load of provisions for which he would conduct the white men to this initio of copper. The Betitelt brothers quietly weut to Liu Claire, informed a leading banker of that cliy of the proposition, who at onoe advaucod tho money und accompaniud them back to Lac Cour; Oiielles. The throe men? with tho old Indian and his sonn, eaily euo morning, started for tho spot. A march of about twenty miles through the woods brought them to the place. When within two or three miles the superstition of tho Iudiuu that he would iucur the displeasure of tho Great Spirit by re real big any secret to the white matt asserted itself. The old man and the two bucks threw themselves on the groupd and proceeded to indulge in mournful iucant;:tioua for several minutes. Then they were ieady to go forward, and led the men to the immense ledge. Even though they anticipated much, .their their hopes were more than realized. The presence of copper In great quantities was plainly to be jeen, and tho party aho found much silver ore. Of Um former they obtained chunks a foot in length, with which the ledge seemed to bristle. After a careful examination the pari J roturnol confident that they had struck u bouanza with millous iu it. Lpon reaching Lac Court Oriolles, the Indian was paid his $500 and load of provisions, and tho Eau Claire bauker at once st.uted to take a claim for ten thousand acres of land. Mr. Allen tucked with the old Indian and with the Patlick brothers, and each corroborated tho story of the rouderful wealth seen. Arrangements were at once made for the working of this mine, and within two or three weeks woik will be commenced. The land is in Barron county, half way between the North Wlsco sin railroad and Lac Court Orlelles.
A Midnight Tragedy. Washington Correspondence Uostoa Journal. Among the many bloody duels ou record as having been fought by Congressmen, wns one in which James Jackson, of Georgia who had been and who was afterward u United States Senator was tho challenged party. He was an Englishman by birth, but he went to Savannah when a lad, studied law, was a leading Freemason, and fought gallantly in the revolutionary war. He killed Lieutenant Governor Wells in 1780, in a duel, and was engaged in soverai other "affairs of honor," until he flually determined to accept a challenge on su-.-h terms as would make it his last duel, tio he prescribed as the terms that ouch purty, aimed with a douhlu - barreled gun loaded with buckshot, and with a hunting-knife, should row himself in a skiff to designated points on opposite sides of tho Savannah river. When the city clock struck 12, MOO should row his skiff to a small island in tin- middle of the river, which was wooded and covered with underbrush. On nrriviug at the island each was to moor his tkiff, stand by it for ten minutes, and then go about on the island until the meeting took place. The seconds waited ou the main laud until after 1 o'clock, when
they heard three gun shots and loud and angry cries. Then all was still.
At daylight, as bud been agreed upon, i the seconds went to the island, and found Jackson lying on the ground, insensible from the loss of blood, and
his antagonist lying across him, dead, Jackson recovered, but would never relute his experience on that night, nor was he ever challenged again. He died in this city, while sorting his second term us Uuiied St-tes Senator, March 19, lHOu. 1111 ' BB 0 -as - An awfel Peril. BanM Tribune. Charles May and his brother Robert, iu the spring of 1870, offered to pass 00,000 luilroad ties down the Arkansas from the mountain source. Ho says: "Our offer was accepted, when we started iuto ihe upper entrance of the canon with a large 6kifT provided with six days' provisiouR and 200 feet of rope, with which, by raking a running turn around aome firmly planted object, we could lower our boat a hundred feet at a time. Iu this way, at tho end of three days, having set adrift many hundred ties. we reached the entrance to the Royal Oorge. Here wo discovered that an attempt to descend the first waterfall with two in the boat was certain destruction, and to return was impossible. Accordingly I determined to lower my brother down tho fall in the boat, a distance of two hundred feet, give him tne rope and let him take tl chance of tho canon (dfo Memed more certain iu that direction), while I would risk my physical ability to climb tho canon wall, which was ubout 2,000 feat high. "About 10 jVloek in tho morning I shook hands with my brother, lowen...', him in the boat safely to the foot of tho full, gave him tho rope, and saw him no more. Then throwing aside my coat, hat and boots, an.i stripping the soeks from my feet, I commenced my climbing way, often reaching the height of ono or two hundred feet, only to be compelled to return to try some other way. At length, about I o'clock in the .afternoon, I reached a height upon the smooth canon wall of ubout a thou sand feet. Hero my further progress was arrested by a shelving ledge of rocks that jutted out from the canon side a foot or more. To advance was without hope: to return, certuiu death. Bef oblag upward and outward, I graspetl the rim of tho lodge with one hand and theu with the other, my feet slipped from t!ie smooth side of the canon, and my body hung suspended in the air a thousuu:! feet ubove tho roaring waters of the Arkansas. "At that moment I looked downward to measure tho distance I would have to fall when the strength of my arms guve out. A stinging sensation crept through my hair us my eye caught tho strong root or a cedar bush that projected out over the ledge, a little beyond my reach. My grasp upon tho rim of the ledge was fast yielding to the weight of my person. Then I determined to make my best effort to rttise my body aud throw it sideways toward tho root so as to bring it within my grasp. At the mjineut of commencing the effort I saw my mother's face as sho ieaned 1 Jt over the ledge, reached down her hand and caught me by the hair. Stranger, my mother died while yet a young woman, when I aud my brother were small boys, but I remember her face. I was sucoessful in making the side leap of my arms, when I drew myself upon tho ledge and rested for a time. From here upward ray climbing way was laborious but less dangerous. I leeched the top of the canon just as tho suu was sinking down behind tbo snowy range, and hastened to out camp at the mouth of the canou, where I fouud my brother all safe. 'Charley,' said he, 1 havo you had your head in flour sack?" It was then I discovered that my hair was as white as you see it now."
