An Incident of the Biirnino of the
Henry Clay. A passenger who was on
board the ill-fated steamer Henry Clay,
relates the following incident connected
-with that sad disaster :
'He had been on the bow of the ves
le, and was one of the first to escupe.
Upon reaching the shore, he counted
twenty-three persons who sank to rise
no more. He siekend at the sight and
was imt timiincT In leavii the snot, when
Q k
Hie saw a little boy only seven years of
ot age emerging irom tno smoke ana
flame on the after part of the promenade
deck, kneel down and clasp liis hands
as if in prayer. He remained in this
attitude but a moment, and then lie lea
ped into the water. Our informant
watched the little fellow as he went tin
der the water, not expecting to see him
again., Presently the young hero rose
to the surface, brushed aside his auburn
ringlets, and slruck out manfully for the
shore, which he readied in a short time.
Upon landing, he sat down upon the
bunk exclaiming 'Oh, these poor peo
ple! I wisli I could save them!' and
then burst into a Hood of tears nt the
awful scene of suffering and death be
fore him. What a noble heart was in
that boy, who, so young, could not only
ask deliverance of his heavenly Father,
but feel fur the sufferings of others.
Does it not also speak volumes in the
praise of the mother of that boy?"
This story is related, as a veritable
fact, of a I hitch justice, residing in the
pleasant valley of the Mohawk not a
thousand miles from Schenectady.
He kept a small tavern, and was not
lemarkahle for the acutcnessof his men
tal perceptions, nor would it appear nt
least to one of his customers much bet
ter ulF in the matter of 'gumption.'
One morning a, man stepped in and bo't
a buttle of s it ill beer, lie stood talk
ing a few minutes, and hy-and-by said:
'I am sorry I purchased the beef. I i
wish j on would exchange it for some
crackers and cheese to that amount.'
The simple-minded bonifnee readily
assented, and the man took the plate of
crackers and cheese, and at them. As
he was going nut, the old landlord hesi
tatingly reminded him that be hud not
paid for them,
'Yes, I did,' said the customer; 'I
gave you the beer for 'em.'
'Veil den, I dnowsh dat; but den you
haven't give de monish for de Icmah?
But I didn't take the beer; there
stands the same bottle now !'
The old tavern keeper was astounded.
He looked sedate and confused; hut all
to no purpose was his laborious think
ing. The case was still a 'mystery.
'Veil den,' said he at lengtti, 'I don't
see how it ish: I got de heersh yaas,
I got dn beersh ; but den, same times, I
got no monish! Veil, you leqis de
grackers mid gheese; but 1 don't
want any more o' your gustoms. You
gan keeps avay from my davern.'
'In whose principles,' said the dying
daughter of Éthan Allen, to her skepti
cal father, 'in whose principles shall I
die yours or those of my Christian mo
ther?'' The stern old hero of Ticnnderoga,
brushed a tear from his eye as he turn
ed away, and with the same rough voice
which summoned the British to surren
der, now tremulous villi deep emotion,
slid, 'In your mother's, child in your
mother's. Sacred to the heart is the
memory of a mother's love.
What a meaning and unique expres
sion was that of an Irish girl who was
rendering testimoney against an individ
ual in a New Orleans court, a short
time since. 'Arrah, sir,' said she, 'I'm
sure he never made his mother smile '
There is a biography of iinkindness in
that simple sentence.
A Game of Brao. 'Talk about your
darned fast lines,' said a Yankee to a
Cockney, who was so imprudent, in the
natural way of his count i y men, to com
mence bragging on English railroads,
while the couple were progressing at
the rale of forty miles Ml hour on (he
Birmingham railway. 'Why, mister, this
ere road is ptirty considerable for Eng
land, but it won't do foi 'Aleriky. We
ride astraddle o' telegraphs there, when
we're in a hurry, but when we ain't we
take the railroad. I was coming from
Philadelphy to New York, when I ses
to a feller sitiin by me 'who on airlh
owns that big gardia with white palins
around i'?'
'I don' see no white palins,' ses he.
'I dou t see nolhiu' else,' ses I, 'and
a mighty tall fence it is, too.'
The feller burst out a lailin' 'why
you darned fool,' ses he, 'them's the te
legraph poles.' And sure enough when
the engine feller stopt, I saw them posts
a hundred feet apart, and we had been
Coins so alfircd fast, they looked for all
the world like white palins.'
Ai this moment the bell rang at a sig
nal station, before the Cockney hud ful
ly recovered from Jonathan's Inst dose.
'What's that bell ringing for?' inqui
red the latter of his English friend.
We are approaching D .'
'Well, them kind of bell fixing does
for these ere slow cars, but we can't use
them are contrivances in 'Meriky.'
'Ah, why not?' , ' "'
'Travel too fast fact, beat sound all
to smash. We would be smack through
a village before the ,;ound of a clapper
was in the neighborhood1'
'My heyes! is it possible!' exclaimed
the astonished Cockney.
Fact again, by tl,ii!der! Why, I was
on tho York cms when them uro steam
whistles were first tried. Mayb'jou've
hcern of the terrible accident?'
'No.' '
'Well, sir, we were going it strong.
Ilurrycanes were tin whar all natur
seemed shukin to pieces, when several
miles off, something was seen on the
track. The whistle was let loose, and
she did scream arl'ully, but it was no
manner of use, Tor after tumbling over a
span of smart horses, and a big market
wagon, I was just rising from a pond,
when along cum the , histe holler, mix
ed up with some big, cusses, I mind to
have heernthe engine man rip out when
he fust saw the wagon. But the poor
feller was (J et c! when his voice arrived.
Fact, got the documents.'
'Ilextiaordinary,' exclaimed the horror-stricken
Cockney, 'and do you use
whistles yet?'
'Bless your soul, no. Congress stop
ped 'em rite off, and now we act on the
philisophiu principles, that light (ravels
an uliired sight faster than sound, which
will do perhaps fur, this generation.
W iijw tell 'em we are cumin by burs
ting out n light that astonishes all crea
tion, and I reckon rather surprised the
planetary system at first. When it was
tried at night, the roosters on the road
commenced crowing, nnd the chickens
all got down from their roost, thinking
it was daylight1'
The cars suddenly stopped, when Jo
nathan, having arrived nt the point of
destination, looked around at the asto
nished Cockney, nodded his head, nnd
taking his carpetbag under one aim and
an umbrella under the other, look his
leave as sober as a deacon.
Last Moment3 of Kr. Webster.
By Moso's Eastern line of telegraph,
we have a few ite i.s of the circumstan
ces which attended his last agony. Ue
seems to have died as befitted a man of
his greatness nnd intellect, nnd to the
close of his long and eventful life that
giant mind which has stamped its im
press on tho history and institutions of
thethe country, remained unbroken and
unclouded, More particulars we hope
for hereafter.--;?. Louis Eijnib,
Bostnn, October 25,
Marshfield, October Mlh.Mr Web
s'.ercxpir'd precisely twenty minutes to
three this morning- During the early
part of the eveniui;, there was some de
crease in the swelling in Mr, Webster's
abdomen, and fewer symptoms of nau
sea, but no signs of rallying. líepcat
edly in the course of the forenoon nnd
early part of the afternoon, he conversed
freely and with great clearness of detail,
in relatior. to his prívale affairs and the
condition of his fare's; stating his plans
fully, and the manner in which he wish
ed to have them carried out. About
five o'ciouk he was again seized with
nonsea, and raised considerable dark
matter, mingled with blood. Exhaus
tion now increased rapidly, and his phy
sician held another consultation, which
resulted in the conclusion that his death
was fast approaching. He received the
announcement with calmness, nnd re
quested that the female members of his
family be, called in, viz: Mrs. Webster,
Mrs. Fletcher Websler, Mrs. J. W.
Paige, and .Miss Down. To each, call
ing them individuully by name, ho ad
dressed a few words of farewell and ra
tional consolation. Next he had called
in the male members of his lamily, and
personal friends who had been with him
the last few days, viz: Fletcher Web
ster, his only surviving son; Samuel A.
Appleton, son-in-law ; J. W. Paige, G.
T. Curtis, Edward Curtis, of N. York ;
Peter Harvey and Charles Henry Tho
maVof Marshfield; also, Messrs. George
J. Abbott and W. 5. Zantzinger, both
of the State Department, Washington.
Addressing each of them by name, he
referred to his past relations with them
respectively, and one by ono bade them
an affectionate' farewell. This was
about half past six. . He now had Mr.
Harvey called in again, and said to
him, 'Harvey, I am not so sick but tint
I know you; I am well enough to know
you; 1 am well enough to leave you, and
well enough to call down the richest of
Heaven's blessings upon you. Harvey
don't leave mo until I am dead; don't
leave Marshfield until I am a dead man.
Then, at if speaking to himself, he said,
on the 24th of October, all that is mar-
tal of Daniel Webster will be no morn.
He now prayed in his natural and usual
voice, strong, full and clear, ending with
'Heavenly falhtr, forgive my sins, and
receive me to thee, llintl Chris' Jesus.'
At half after seven Mr. Warren arrived
from Bostnn, to relieve Dr. Jeffries as
immediate medical attendant. Shortly
after he conversed with Dr, Jeffries,
who said he could do nothing more for
him than administer occasionally a sed
ative portion, and then said to Mr. Web
stir, I am to be here patiently until the
end of it. Do so, may it come soon.
At ten o'clock he was still lower, but
conscious of every thing that passed
within his sight or hearing. Ho linger
ed ou until t venly minutes ot three,
when death called him to his reward.,,
Thus has crumbled the chief pillar 'of
the A rican liepulilic. The most pain'-
gloom peí vades all classes, and the
solemn leeling 1 ir.it U everywhere appa
rent, proclaims that an uulul calamity
has befallen the nation.
A newly-imported Irishman was stan
ding, with his hook under arm, at a shop
window in Glasgow. The shopkeeper
accosts him thus 'Well, Pat, what do
joti want in my line to-day?' 'What
you have not to give ine,' rejoins thu
Irishman, 'I'll wager a shilling I have
what suits you?' The latter, pulling a
shilling from his pocket, replies, 'It's
done, I want f. sheath fur my hook.'
I o poor Pal's astonishment and morti
fication the sheath wus piodured. Away
he went to the harvest, however, leav
ing his shilling with shopkeeper. But,
not to be beat, he called on his way
home, and in the presence of a witness,
thus addressed him, 'What will you take
for as much twist tobacco as will reach
from one of my ears to the oilier?' ' 'A
penny,' was the reply. This being a
greed to, the grocer cut off about a foot
of twist, and was about to apply its ex
tremities to Pal s ears, when the latter
pointing lii finger upward, exultingly
exclaimed, 'llieti; is one ear, out lliu
other is nailed to the back of the" goal
door in Dublin.' The duped grocer
was obliged t.) give his ingenious anta-
gonis fot ty pounds of tobacco before he
could get quit of him.
Sam Houston's (lying artillery, used
at the battle of St, Jacinto, was one four

piece was discharged, it would throw'
him forward on his lace with such force
as lo detain him in that position until
the piece wa leloaded, and then as he
rose up uitliiu range of the Mexicans
the match was applied, and away went
the auiinul on his fare and knees, and
away went thunder and flame and death-
dealing balls, and uwuy w ent Mexicans
helter-skelter. ,, ,
You Don't Lodge Here. In Spain it
is the ambition of grandees to unite in

A Rich Retort. It is said of the
Maiquis of Townsend,lhat when young
nnd engaged in bat'.lc, he saw a drum
mer at his side killed by a cannon ball,
which scattered his biains in every di
rection1 His eyes were nt once fixed
on the ghastly object which seemed to
engross his thoughts. A supeiior offi
cer observing him, supposed he, was in
timidated at the siejit, and addressed him
in a manner to cheer his spirits. 'Oh,'
said the young marquis, with calmness
but severity,; 'I am not frightened, I am
puzzled to make out how any man with
such a quantity of biains ever came to
be here!'

der a strong suspicion of his habit of bo

ning the patient, the surgeon pronoun
ced him to have much water lodged in
the belly, and that it would bo necessa

occasions the swelling,' said Weston,
'it may " be wine.' "'No, no,' replied
Foote, -if it had been winé, Tom, you

flew Movement in Cuba. . , ,..
The Washington correspondent of the ,,
Philadelphia North American has the fol- ,,
lowing: , , ,, , ,
Washington, Tuesday, Augusts1.
Notwithstanding the attempts, in va- ,
rious quarters, to treat the recent dis-'
closures of 'a threatened revolution in 1(1
Cuba with lenity, the matter is known m
to have been sufficiently grave to attract -
the .attention ot the Spanish Minister ,
here, nnd to have been brought ta tho .
notice of the Government in such a man
ner as to authorise the adoption of pre- '
cautionary measures. There ü'Utüt
doubt tiata rerolutiona-ry organisation f
exists in the Island, and that there are
agencies or branches, in the U. States.
It is pretty well ascertained that indi-'"
viduals connected with the prorosed '
movement have recently been vibrating i
between New York .and New 'Orleans,
concerting plans and, holding conferen-,,
ccs; looking, as is supposed, to a hostile
demonstration in the month of October"
With all thosecresy which has beénob-í "
served by these conspirators against the -i
public peace nnd good faith of tho Uni- ,,
ted States in the observanco, cf, treaty '
stipulation's, they have been tracked so
closely as to warrant the belief 'that k"
new plan has been devised,' and that '
another invasion may be attempted-, tin-:
less the present intelligence should lead
to its frustration, , , ; . -
Spain will contest! tile ' possession of,
Cvba, as it is her just' light to do1, at "
every Hazard, and with evoryiinéans of
defence that can be procured by'llier
own resources; or if need be, by allian- t
ces wiin other powers. . A vigorous po
licy has been ordcred,'and the Cáplaiñ
Gencral of tho Island, in obedience to'"1
his instructions, under the apprehended
revolt ond invasion, has directed that ;
every person taken with arms in his
hands against the ntilh?! lies, 'shall be
siotk'ilith three hour's aflmrarjx.
A fuithei order has been' issued, that in
caso any officer should refuse to execute '
the fuipgointf penalty, he shall be shot
instantaneously for contumacy , j , ,i
The failure of our couits, lo convict ;,
the expeditionists engaged in the, last
crusade against : Cuba, has Hot only "
encouraged others to repeat that law-"'
less, enterprise, but it has croáted a bad j
impression abroad as'to the ability of the a
judicial tribunals to administer the law, I
in the face of a morbid state ófopinion. ,
And a very natural consequence of theso")
failures is the audacious attempt now ' '
