REMINISCENCES OF PUBLIC MEN ST BEN: FKKU5T POOEE, Soon after the election of James K. Polk as President, over which the Whigs felt decidedly disgruntled, Mr. Clinginan, of North Carolina, then a leading Whig, made a speech on the situation, in the House of Kepresentatives. He gave, in the courso of his remarks, a history of the recent political campaign, and accused the Democratic party of having resorted to the grossest frauds, especially in the States of New York, Pennsylvania, IjOU isiana and Georgia, and said very hard things, bnt in a playful manner, of his political opponents. The next day Mr. Yancey addressed the House on the Texas question, and took occasion in the commencement of his remark, to deprecate the manner in -which Mr. Clingman had spoken ; and said that "in that portion of the country which he had the honor to represent, Mr. Clingman was everywhere viewed as the betrayer of his country. He was looked on by every one as a renegade, recreant to the principles and the interest of that portion of the Union. With this estimate of him beforehand even he (Mr. Yancey) was astonished when that gentleman got up to taunt his brothers of the South because their strenuous efforts and earnest and continued exertions had not been able to prevent the repeal of that rule of the House which prohibited the presentation of abolition petitions. The motives which he attributed to their conduct on that subject were such as could have been found only in the heart of him who, after betraying those wio had trusted him and goiug over to the ranks of the enemy, turned and floated the colors of that enemy in the face of his own friends. Mr. Yancey knew that such had been the estimate entertained by nineteen-twentieths of the men of the South respecting this gentleman; and he must confess his surprise when he rose in this House, and bragged of what he termed the dishonesty and rascality of the State he had the honor to represent. Mr. Clingman rose, and wished to explain, but Mr. Yancey said, "No sir, I want no explanations. Explanations elsewhere." And he proceeded with his remarks. This was on Tuesday, and or. the evening of that day, or on the morning ensuing, Mr. Clingman, through a friend, sent a note to Mr. Yancey asking him whether he meant his remarks as personal, or whether they were merely o a political character. Mr. Yancey replied by cutting from the Globe the report of his speech, and sending it to Mr. Clingman. Mr. Clingman deeming this an insult, invited Mr. Yancey out of the city to talk about the matter. Mr. Yancey did not hesitate, and left Washington in the ars on Wednesday evening, as it were, for Baltimore. Mr. Clingman took his departure the next morning, Mr. Huger, a son of the Senator, accompanied Mr. Yancey, and Mr. Clingman engaged the services of Dr. Carr, of Baltimore, late Consul to Tangier, who had the reputation of having killed three or four men in duels. The meeting took place near Bladensbnrg, at Z o'clock in the afternoon. On the firsn fire, Mr. Yancey's ball struck near Mr. Clingjnan's foot, and Mr. Clingman 's ball passed near Mr. Yancey's head. The seconds then interfered, explanations were made, and the combatants cordially shook hands. "Long John" Wentworth, who was six feet seven, and Stephen A. Douglas, the "Little Giant," who was five feet four, were members of the House of Representatives at the same time. One day when they stood conversing in the area before the Speaker's chair, Wentworth bending over and Douglas on tiptoe, John Qnincy Adams said, "Illinois there presents us with the loner and the short of its position on the bill before the House." John Bandolph was, in his day, the lion of the Capitol, and the following story is told of a new member from Kentucky who wished to be presented to him. A friend, Gen. Raymond, promised to present him, saying though, you must be prepared for un odd reception, for if Bandolph is in a bad humor, he will do anything, say anything; if he is in a good humor, you will see a most finished gentleman." They called. Mr. Bandolph was stretched out on a sofa. "He seemed, " said the member, "a skeleton, endowed with those flashing eyes which ghost stories five to the reanimated body when sent upon some -earthly mission." The Congressman was presented by his friend, the General, as . member of Congress from Kentucky. MAh, from Kentucky, sir, exclaimed Randolph, in his shrill voice, as he rose to receive him; "from Kentucky, sir; well, sir, I consider your State the Botuny Bay of "Virginia." The Kentuckiari thought that the nest remark would be a quotation from Barrington's Botany Bay epilogue, applied by Randolph zo the Virginia settles of Kentucky: True patriots -we, for be it understood. We left our country for our country's good. But Randolph, after a pause, continued: I do not make this remark, sir, in application to the morals or mode of settlement of Kentucky. No, air, I mean to say that it is my opinion, sir, that the time approaches when Botany Bay will in all respects surpass England, and I fear it will soon be so with regard to your State and mine. n Daniel Webster wcs always sore when it was charged that he had opposed the war of 112. Finally, on the 22d of March, 1838, he made a speech in which he defined his position, and showed what efforts had been made to create prejudices against him. "Sir," said he, "The journals of the House have all been pored over, and the reports ransacked, and scrap3 of paragraphs .and half-sentences have been collected, put together in the falsest manner, and then made to flare out as if there had been some discovery. But all this failed. The next report was to supposed correspondence. My letters were sought for, to learn if, in the confidence of private friendship, I had never said anything which an enemy could make use of. With this view the vicinity of my former residence has been searched as with a lighted candle. "ew Hampshire has been explored from the mouth of the Merrimack to the White Hills. In one instance a gentleman had left the State, gone 500 miles off and died.

His papers were examined, a letter was found and I have understood it was brought to Washington; a conclave was held to consider it, and the result -was, that if there iras nothing elso against Mr. Webster, the matter had better be left alone. Sir, I hope to make everybody of that opinion who brings against me a charge of want of patriotism. Errors of opinion can be found, doubtless, on many subjects; bnt as such conduct flows from the feelings which animate the heart, I know that no act of my life hus had its origin in the want of ardent love of ccuntry." Establish Industrial Schools. The history :f the past conclusively demonstrates that education of the head alone will not prevent crime. In fact, an education which touches the mental faculties alone may be capable of doing immense damage. It has been charged against American educational methods that their tendency is to produce discontent among those who were born in poverty, and in some respects the charge is true. We want always an education of the heart as well as an aducation of the head. We want also an education of the hands. Under the American plan of government the church and the home must be depended upon very largely to instill religious principles into the young, though there is no reason why the State should not teach religion unmixed with sectarianism. But unless the home and the church can hold the young there is little probability that the State will be able to do much for them in a religious way. The one defect in our present methods of training is the lack of industrial education. The State should teach its young people to use their hands. Three-fourths of the inmates of our prisons are persons who have never been taught a trade. They come from The ranks of the rich as well as the poor, but they have one thing in common they do not know how to use their viands. Parental folly or parental indifference has handicapped them for life. In e elf-protection the State should provide means by which this evil of omission may be remedied. Industrial schools would be much cheaper in the end than prisons and penitentiaries. A little less grammar and geography, even a little less algebra and geometry, and i little practical know edge of tools would be better for the young people and better for the community. In all our principal towns and cities there 6hould be attached to the common schools a workshop, in charge of practical mechanic, where our boys might attain a knowledge of tools and their uses. Nor should the girl s be forgotten. While they are being given a "finished" education it would be well if there were attached to the school a department in charge of an accomplished housekeeper where they might be taught baking, cooking and all the mysteries which enable a womaa to intelligently manage the affairs of her own household. We venture to say that a little education in this direction would be of more value to many a young girl than a knowledge of musi 3 and French, though these are not to be despised. Altoona Tribune. A C heekr Cadet. Sometimes, whn the offenses of West Point cadets, are very flagrant, courts-martial are called to trv them. These are composed of army officers, who sit in trial like judge and jury when the offender is in civil instead of military life. These courts-martial are often very funny. Once there was a youngster who was jo perfectly outrageous that he knew h would be dismissed at the approaching examination, so he determined to have a good time before he left. On the rounds was an old disused shed of son.e kind, and in it the young hopeful pilsd all the shavings, rags, and everything else combustible he could get, and one fine night set a match to it and Lad a bonfire of his own. Of course suspicion pointed to him, and a court of inquiry was organized to investigate the outrage. Gen. Thayer was stiperintendent and Col. Fry commandant o: the cadets. Wnen the prisoner was colled up for examination before the court, composed of officers of high rartk, imposing in the majesty of the law, he was asked to state what he knew about the fire. 41 1 I don't know anything myself but what is hearsay testimony, and you won't admit that replied. "The court does not desire your views on hearsay tirstinony," severely remarked the prosecutor. "You are directed to state what may have come to vour knowledgo r garding the affair." "Well, but," objected the culprit, "I don't know anything about it, and what I heard I don't believe." "The court, sir," thundered the officer, "has not inquired into your belief. You will immediately state what you heard." "But, but you don't believe me, either. " By that time the court was in a rage. "Go on sir," ro.irec several officers together. "Well, they do say," stammered the cadet diffidently, "t hat Gen. Thayer got the shavings and old Fry set m afire." Philadelphia Ti nes.

Tiuion of Athens. Timon, one of the lords of ancient Athens, belonged to one of the oldest and most respectable families of the town, his father before him having been in the flour and feed business. I3eing the possessor of a princely fortune his liberality knew no limits. He was not a man, on picking a fly out of the sugar bowl, to brush his legs off so as not to lose any particles of sugar that might adhere to them. Nor only the poor tasted of his bounty, but bankers, railroad magnates, and even journalists did not distlain to rank themselves among his dependents and followers. Ho was not one of those aristocrats who give tone to society but never give anything else. When he M as told that his health was giving away he never objected. He was always willing to part with anything, even his own health, so liberal was Timon. If a poet could not get the otlspring of his muse inserted in any of the local papers even by paying for it at advertising rates, he would dedicate it to Timon, and then borrow a hundred and fifty dollars of him, although the reputation of tha poet for paying debts was such that Timon might have known that he never gave back auy thing. Judge Timon'a house was infested with idle visitors, lying poets, painters, sharking tradesmen, lords, ladies, needy courtiers, and expectants raining their fulsome flatteries in his ears. It never occurred to him that fulsome compliments are called soft soap because there is so much lie in them. Timon swallowed flattery as a baby does buttons, without any idea of the trouble that mav follow. And when Timon was feasting in the midst of all these flatterers and mock friends, when they were eating him up and draining his fortune dry with large draughts of the richest wines drunk to his health and prosperity, he could not perceive the difference between a friend and a flatterer. It never occurred to him that his so-called friends flattered him in order to laugh at him. In vain did his honest book-keeper, a German named Herr Fishangel, warn him that his riches, which were nt infinite, must needs melt away before a prodigality which knew no limits. Timon would toll him to go soak his head, or turn the discourse to something else with a merry laugh, then send him out with a growler for some more beer, utterly regardless of expense. At last the crisis came. Timon had completely exhausted the appropriation, buthe told Fishangel to go out and collect 6ome of the hundreds of thousands of dollars which he had lent his friends. In a short time Fishangel returned with the ceiling of his pants worn off by the friction of the feet of Timon's friends. One friend said he was so weak he couldn't stand alone of $5. Another replied that he never used money to pay debts with. After that Timon's house was lonely as a store that don't advertise. Disgusted with all mankind, Timon betook himself to the woods, wishing that the walls of Athens might fall upon the people, and that all the plagues which infest humanity might fasten upon the inhabitants. Timon even refused to wear clothes in his solitude, and allowed his hair and beard to grow out. He refused several offers from dime museums to pose as a wild man from Borneo. Ho was disgusted with the entire human race. Ho swore that he would get even with the Athenians some fine day. Shortly afterward, the clerk of the Athens Waterworks Co. was much annoyed by the complaints of the patrons. They kicked about a peculiar taste in the water, and refused to pay their bills. The Board of Health had the water examined, and various microbes with long Latin aliases were unearthed. At last the water was allowed to make its escape from the reservoir, and tho Athenians were shocked to find tho body of their former fellow-citizen, Mr. Timon. Texas Sifii?igs, Diamond Mines. How did the South African diamonds ever get there? How much deeper are we going down? Are diamonds going to be found in as large quanties as at present ? There are various theories as to how these mines have been formed, but all agree in attributing them to volcanic action. They are funnel-shaped, the sides of the funnel being composed of a dense igneous rock, known in miners1 parlance as "rees." It is of a soapy nature, easily acted upon by the atmosphere, consequently most dangerous, as large pieces, in some instances weighing hundreds of tons, yet detached. There are no means of shoring it up, and without warning these enormous slices will slide off into the working portion of the mine, burying the claims and sometimes killing the employes. The whole of this funnel is filled with this "blue" ground, the reef sloping at various angles, but on an average of one in fifteen. The theory is, that in time the sides of the reef will meet at some great depth, supposed by some to be 1,000 feet, by others more; and that then we shall arrive at the aperture forming the bottom of the funnel. Whether that hole will again expand into a further cavity, is, of course, matter of simulation. It should be remembered that the diamonds were not formed where they are now found, Tho hot liquid containing the diamonds was forced by some great cataclysm of nature through the solid earth, the bulging in of the sides of the mines being very soft and shaly, showing where the rock was not sufficiently hard to resist the enormous pressure. Now it has been observed that in Kimherley there must have been ten distinct upheavals; in Dutoitspan, twenty-five; in Bultfontein, three er five; and in De Beers, three; and this has been proved by the varying nature of the ground.

If one upheaval only had taken place the center of the funnel would have contained only one particular kind of soil. As the miners go deeper a great alternation is noticed in the character of the soil. They have actually found pieces of the top reef at the "depth of 400 feet This shows that in the succeeding upheavals vacuums wero formed, and the whole funnel became in a state of tumult, the upper layers of oxidized earth returning to their ancient depths to give place to tho other carbonaceous matter which, by

successive exposure to the atmosphere, became oxidized and assumed the yellow color seen so frequently in the heaps and embankments of rejected debris. New York Mail.

Francis Rondo, the Wisconsin pioneer who died recently at Fond du .Lac, aged more than 100 years, left 454 descendants in three generations. The oldest woman hi Indiana is Mrs. Magdalena Uoggs, of Milton. She was born r.eur Lancaster, Fa., December 22, 17fc3, and is therefore nearly 104 years old. Her health is good. The famous old Mr. Farr, of London, died at 15.) from a surfeit of eating. Coming down to the present there are many instances ol: passing the century limit. Chevreul, the famous French chemist, celebrated the 100th anniversary of his birth, a short timo agoWhen are we old? Prof. Faraday holds that the duration of lif 9 in man and animal is five times the period of growth; man's growth requires twenty years; he should, therefore, under ordinary circumstances, live to be 100; infancy extending to tho 20th year; youth to the 50th, when the tissues become firm; virilitv to 75, and old uge from 75 to 100. "Walter Murray Gibaon, late Premier of the Hawaiin Kingdom, is a man over 70 years of age, but hale and vigorous. Miss Howard St. Clair, a handsome California book agent, claims that the Premier has failed to keep a promise of marriage, and that the sum of $100,000 will just about quiet the thro'obings of her more or less broken heart. An effort at a compromise ia being made. Mrs. Ellen Hudden.the oldest woman in Newark, died recently at her home, 39 Stone street. She was 105 vears old. She came to Newark over iiftv years ago. Mrs. liudden had eleven children, and threo sons and ono daughter are yet alive. The youngest is over 45 years old. She was always a hard-working woman. She walked to church until about three years ago. Dr. Farr favors 100 years for the tenure of life, but makes these divisions-: Boyhood, 10 to 15; youth, 15 to 25; manhood, 25 to 55; maturity, 55 to 75; ripeness, 75 to 85, and old" age from 85 upward. Prof. J. It Buchanan places the attainable limits of longevity at 140, and he cites the fourteen people of that age found in Italy by a census under one of the later Itoinan emperors. Nine hundred and ninety persons in a thousand would say that a baby in the cradle would be likely to live longer than a man of G5, but statistics prove indisputably that 500 i:a every 1,00 J infants die before the age of 5 years is recorded, while out of 1,000 healthy men aged 65 more than 500 of them will be alive in five, aye, in ten years, or even a longer time. So it will be seen that a man of 05 may bo considered younger thnn an infant as far as his chances of future life are concerned. Mrae.

She nursed the wounded, and saw one and all of the noble defenders of the Alamo die. Col. Bowie died ia her armts.

The Cigarette. Dr. Joseph Mulhall says: I am a cigarette smoker myself, and I am a defender of the habit, or, at least, an apologist for it. The charm of the smoking of cigarettes, by which I mean not the pud in and out of the mouth of the smoke, but its inhalatioi:, is the quick and powerful stimulant it gives smoker. The cigar smoker savs to the cigarette smoker, "What enjoyment can you get from smoking that tky roll of paper with its little pinch of tobacco? Why.don't you use a cigar or a pipe?" To which the cigarette smoker can reply, 'if he wants to argue, "My cigarette is a more powerful stimulant than the cigar," and he can prove it if the other will submit to a test. The stimulation of tobacco is caused by the absorption of the nicotine by the system. The smoke of a cigar or pipe reaches only tho mucous membrane of the mouth, because it is not inhaled. The cigarette smoker inhales the smoke of his cigarette, and it touches not only the mouth but also the throat, and the membranes all the wav down absorb the stimulant. The cigarette smoker, too, cannot smoke a weak cigarette with enjoyment, for one-halt the pleasure of the smoke is caused by the contact of the smoke with the membranes. It must grip the throat, so to speak, to produce the pleasure. As to tho evil effects of cigarette smoking there is much exaggeration. The habi;; can be justly charged with only one injurious effect which is not produced by other kinds of smoking. That is an irritation of the throat, which is noticed by almost all continued cijjarette smokers in themselves. The idea that the smoke penetrates the lungs is a vulgar and absurd one. It never gets beyond the tidal air, and that means that it never reaches the lungs. Cigarette-

! heart beats, what is known as "tobacco iheat," and dimness of tin vision, but these eflect are produced by the use of tobacco in other forms. Buvh, of course, are often permanently injured by it, but for adults it is a superior smoke to a cigar, and no more h&rml'ul.

OLD MISSISSIPPI STORIES.

l aics ol-Duels, Floods, and Steamboat Dikes and Leve Near St. Louis. The first steamboat that arrived in ht. Louis was the Zebulon M. Tike in 2817, says a St. Louis correspondent of the NusiivilJe Times-Union. In 1848 I be river trade had grown to such huge proportions that 3,4(58 boats arrived v the harbor. In 1850 more boats arrived iu Ht. Louis than in Now Orleans, Cincinnati, and Pittsburgh combinod. The Missouri Itiver trade was then at itm of vast importance, and there were half a dozen well-equipped lines on t he river. To-day there is one line. Hailroads killed the river business, and by building up the western cities almost throttled the trade of St. Louis. The Missouri bank of tho Mississippi, almost the entire length of the State, is one chain of bluffs. The Illinois side, from Alton to Cairo, i$ Hat and low, nnd between these two towns lies the lamous American bottom. The bottoms vary from three to six miles in width, from the lower bank of the rivet to the eastern bluffs, and are 200 miles long containing 10,000,000 acres of the

i most fertile soil in the world. The river, "

especially in the vicinity of St, Louis, is inclined to sweep over these acres, and to protect them great dikes and leveee have been constructed on the eastern bank. Directly in front of this city was once a famous island, called "Bloody Island" on account of the many fatal duels fought there. It was there Senator Thomas H. Benton killed Chariest I). Lucas, and ex-Governor Thomas iieynoldn shot B. Grata Brown. This; island wa& in the center of the river, and as the current flowed tovrard the Illinois wide the people of the city arcse one morning in 1837 and found a sand-bar extending from the Missouri side to the island, and almost the whole volume of water ilowing between ' Bloody Island" end Illinois. The Government was appealed to and Lieutenant Robert E. Lee was sent out in charge of the works. He constructed dikes on the Illinois shore and at the head of "Bldody Island," and gradually turned tho water back toward the St. Louis side until the sand-bar was washed away, and afterward the entire river was thrown over against the city. "Bloody Island" is now a portion of the mainland and the greatest portion of East 3t.Louisis now located on it. Balked at this point the river cut into Illinois below the city. In 1756 Fort Chartres w as one mile and a quarter directly east from the river bank. To-day the river runs over the spot where the old fort stood.

The largest dike in this vicinity is the Madison County (Illinois) dike, which ; extends from a point opposite the mouth of the Missouri to East St. Louis. . This varies from twenty to thirty feet i in height and about the same in width. It protects the lands from any ordinary rise in the river, bit there is nothing that can protect them from any extra- 1 ordinary rise. The Madison County dike broke in 1882, and in one night an avalanche of water ten feet in height swept over the American bottom for 100 miles destroying stock, crops, and human .life. Tlfe earliest authentic account of a flood is found in an old document in Kaskaskia, the oldest settle- , ment in the State, and situated on the 1 ' bottoms, " This flood occurred in 1724, and the water extended to tho bluffs. In 1785 a terrible flood occurred, and the

mighty stream spread over a wilderness six. miles wide and tenanted only by wild beasts and a few Indians and settlers. Destruction of Babylon. The following is taken from the American Cyclopedia : The hist successor of Nebuchadnezzar, Nabonadius, joined the league formed to check the threatening power of Persia. This brought upon him the invasion of Cyrus. Having associated with himself in the Government his son Belshazzar, Nabonadius, leaving him in command of Babylon, advanced to raeet Cyrus. Being defeated in the field, he threw himself into Borsippa, while Cyrp advanced to the siege of Babylon. The city was provisioned for a long siege, and the strength of its walls defied direct assault. It was taken only by the strategem of diverting tho river from its course, and marching in through its dry bed. Heredotus relates that Cyrus turned the Euphrates into the great reservoir excavated by Nitocris. This appears incredible, for even assuming the existence of this reservoir, its waters must hive been on a level with those of the river, and no cutting could have laid bare the river bed. Xenophon, a much better authority in this matter, says that Cyrus drained the bed by means of two cuttings of his own, from a point above the city to another below it. if we suppose that the river was not the Euphrates itself, but a bayou or side branch, shallower than the river, the whole operation becomes perfectly comprehensible. He had only to dam up the mouth of the bayou above the city, and deepen the channel below by which it re-entered the Euphrates. In ar. hour after cutting away the bulkhead below, the channel would be dry. This was done in the deed of night. It

was a complete surprise. So confident

wera the besieged in theimpregnibihty of their outer defenses that they neg- ' lected to close the water-gates which ; fronted the river at the foot of each

street, and Belshazzar and his court passed the night in revelry. When morning dawned tho inner defenses had all fallen into the hands of the besiegers (588). Cyrus, having dismantled Babylon, moved upon Bousippa, still held by Nabonadius, who su-rendered and received kind treatment. Cvrus

assigned him a residence and estate in ?

Caram&ma, where the last king of Babylon ended his days :in peace. For a time Babylon was a royal residence of the Persian kings. Two attempts were made to revolt, r.nd each time Babylon stood a siege and was further dismantled. It ceased to be a royal city; its brick walls ard palaces fell into decay; and when Alexander the Great took possession of it it was comparatively a ruin. He intended to restore the city and make it his Asiatic Capital, but his death prevented tho execution of his scheme. "Bkkty" wants to know how he can
