Soon after the election of Junes K. Polk as President, over which the Whigs felt decidedly disgruntled, Mr. Clingman, of North Carolina, then ft leading Whig, made a speech on the sit­ uation, in the House of Representa­ tives. He gave, in the course of his re- Inarka, a history of the recent pol$iioal Campaign, and accused the Democratic party of having resorted to the grossest frauds, especially in the States of New York, Pennsylvania, Louisiana and Georgia, and said very hard things, but In a playful manner, of his political op­ ponents. The next day Mr. Yancey Addressed the House on the Texas questiou, and took occasion in the com­ mencement of his remarks, to depre­ cate the manner in which Mr. Cling- tnan had spoken; and said that "in that portion of "the country which he had the Iionor 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 por­ tion of the Union. With this estimate t)f him beforehand even he (Mr. Yan­ cey) was astonished when that gentle­ man got up to taunt his brothers of the • Bouth because their strenuous efforts and earnest and continued exertions had not been able to prevent the repeal of that rule of the House which prohib­ ited the presentation of abolition peti­ tions. The motives which he attributed •sto their conduct on that subject were Buch as could have been found only in the heart of him who, after betraying those who had trusted him and going ' over to the ranks of the enemy, turned and floated the colors of that enemy in the face of his own friends. Mr. Yan­ cey knew that such had been the esti­ mate entertained by nineteen-twentieths pf the men of the South respecting this gentleman; and he must confess his surprise when he rose in this House, 'ImkI bragged of what he termed the dis­ honesty and rascality of the State he - fcacl 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 ^liis remarks. This was on Tuesday; and on the evening of that day, or on the morning <«nsuing, Mr. Clingman, through a friend, sent a note to Mr. Yancey ask­ ing him whether he meant his remarks as personal, or whether they were ^merely of a political character. Mr. : Yancey replied by Cutting from the >Globe the report of his speech, and sending it to Mr. Clingman. Mr. IClingmao deeming this an insult, in­ vited Mr. Yancey out of the city to talk jabout the matter. Mr. Yancey did not liesitate, and left Washington in the ;pars on Wednesday evening, as it were, ffor Baltimore. Mr. Clingman took his departure the next morning. Mr. Hu­ nger,, 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 Bladensburg, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. On the first fire, Mr. Yancey's ball struck near Mr. Cling- : man's foot, and Me. Clingman'a ball ^passed near Mr. Yancey's head. The seconds then interfered, explanations were made, and the combatants cor- t idially shook hands. "Long John" Wentworth, who was six feet seven, and Stephen A. Doug- . las, 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 Quincy Adams said, "Illinois there presents us with the long and the short of its position on the bill •before the House." John Randolph 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 lie prepared for an odd re­ ception, for if Randolph is in a bad hu­ mor, he will do anything, say anything; if he is in a good humor, you will see a most finished gentleman.1* They called. ' Mr. Rundolpli was stretched out on a sofa. "He seemed,n said the member, "a skeleton, endowed with those flash- , ,ing eyes which ghost stories give to the reanimated body when sent upon some «earthly mission." ' 'j The Congressman was presented by his friend, the General, as a member ,of Congress from Kentucky. "Ah, from ;Kentucky, sir," exclaimed Randolph, in his shrill voice, as he rose to receive him; "from Kentucky, sir; well, sir, I coti ider your State the Botany Bay of Virginia." The Kentuckian thought that the next remark would be a quota­ tion from Barrington's Botany Bay epi­ logue, applied by Randofyh to the Vir- giuia 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 ap­ plication to the morals or mode of set­ tlement of Kentucky. No, sir, 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." Daniel Webster was always sore when it was charged that he had opposed the war of 1812. 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 ran­ sacked, and scraps 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 corre­ spondence. 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. New Hamp­ shire 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 conclavd was held to consider it, and the result was, that if there was nothing else against Mr. Webster, the matter had better be left alone. Sir, I hope to make every­ body of that opinion who brings against me a charge of want of patriotism. Er­ rors of opinion can be found, doubtless, on many subjects; but as such conduct flows from the feelings - whioh animate the heart, I know that no act of my life has had its origin in the want of ar- dent love of country." When for a short time one is deprived * af pleipje, one no longer feels the longivg ttureeafter; and even if she does aft length knock at our door, we open it with fear and trembling, dread­ ing that it may be sorrow in disgtifcMk EstaUMl Indnstrial Schools. The history of the past conclusively demonstrates that education of the head alone will not prevent crime. In fact, an education which touches the mental faculties alone n&y be capable of doing immense damage. It has been charged against American educational methods that their tendency is to pro­ duce 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 sectarian­ ism., But unless the home and the church can hold the young there is lit­ tle 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 in­ dustrial 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 hands. Parental folly or paren­ tal indifference has handicapped them for life. In self-protection the State should provide means by whioh this evil of omission may be remedied. In­ dustrial schools would be much cheaper in the end than prisons and peniten­ tiaries. A little less grammar and geography, even a little less algebra and geometry, and a little practical knowledge of tools would be better for the young people and better for the community. In all our principal towns and cities there should be at­ tached to the common schools a work­ shop, in charge of a practical mechanic, where our boys might attain a knowl­ edge of tools and their uses. Nor should the girls be forgotten. While they are being given a "finished" edu- eation 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 womtn to intelligently man­ age the affairs of her own household. We venture to say that a little educa­ tion in this direction would be of more value to many a young girl than a knowledge of music and French, though these are not to be despised*?--.4Itoona Tri bune. Aimee and the Bracelet. "People in this business often wit­ ness strange occurrences," said a clerk at a Broadway jewelry store. "For in­ stance, when Aimee was at the height of her popularity here, some of the presents sent her were fit gifts for a queen. One day I showed Aimee and a friend of hers a diamond bracelet that took Mme. Aimee's eyes at once. It was not that the diamonds were large, but because they were exqui­ sitely set. We had received it that day from Europe." "What is the price of that?" asked Aimee. "I told her it was $1,200. She looked at it a long time and then they went away." UA week after that Aimee came into the store alone. She asked to see the bracelet again and I showed it to her. She held it up in her dainty fingers and seemed fascinated by it." "Won't you sell it for less than $1,- 200?" she asked; "it seems to me that is rather high." "I assured her that the price was very low, which it was. She hesitated for several minutes, and then, with a shrug of her pretty shoulders, Bhe said: "My friend says he will buy it for me if he can get it for $1,000. If I pay you the $200 difference will you tell Iiim that the price has been reduced to $1,01)0?" "I told her that would be satisfactory to the firm, and with a sigh she took out her pocket-book and handed me two brand new $100 notes. The next day the gentleman called, acoompanied by another friend, and asked for the bracelet" "Very handsome," said the friend. "Did I understand you intended it for Aimee J" "Yes, I promised it to her." "H'm!" said his companion. "It seems to me that bracelet would look much better on your wife's arm. "The other seemed struck by this re­ mark and his brows contracted. He struggled with himself for a while and then he said, quietly: "You're right, old boy." "The bracelet was sent to his wife and Aimee was out $200. I never heard ?hat she said about her ' loss."--New ork World. A Cheeky Cadet. Sometimes, when the offenses of West Point cadets are very flagrant, courts-martial are ealled to try 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 so perfectly outrage­ ous that he knew he would be dismissed at the approaching examination, so he determined to have a good time before he left On the grounds was an old disused sited of some kind, aud in it the young hopeful piled all the shavings, rags, and everything else combustible he could get, and one fine night set a match to it and had a bonfire of his own. Of course suspicion pointed to him, and a court of inquiry was organ­ ized to investigate the outrage. Gen. Thayer was superintendent and Col. Fry commandant of the cadets. When the prisoner was called up for examina­ tion before the court, composed of offi­ cers of high rank, imposing in the maj­ esty of the law. he was asked to state what he knew about the fire. "I--I don't know anything myself <1 but what is hearsay testimony, and you plied. fesire on hearsay testimony," severely re­ marked the prosecutor. "You are di­ rected to state what may have come to vour knowledge regarding 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 offi­ cer, "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 rago. "Go on sir," roared several officers to­ gether. "Well, they do say," stammered the cadet diffidently, "that Gen. Thayer got the shavings and old Fry set'm afire." --Philadelphia Times* won't admit that he replied. "The court does not fesire your views •* : A PStftf GOOD SPEECH. AowJolm&BreoklarI4e«arrledtheCr«rwd With n». Gen. John C. Brsckinride used to tell a storp of ante-bellum politics, which he enjoyed none the less because the joke was on himself. On one oc­ casion during his second canvass for Congress, he had an appointment to speak in a certain county where the sentiment of the voters was pretty equally divided, and partisan prejudice against him very fairly set off the strong personal devotion which he oould so generally inspire. He felt, therefore, an unusual interest in the event of this meeting, and determined to exert to the utmost the powers of oratory and per­ suasion which had so often served him. He was quartered on the previous night at the house of a Mr. C., an enthusiastic personal friend and "leading Demo­ crat" of the county. When they reached the ground Major Breckinridge did "mix," and to good purpose, if the earnest approbation ac­ corded his remarks about the crops and live stock and the open-mouthed laugh ter which greeted his jests were any evi­ dence thereof. It was scarcely necessary to say that John C. Breckinridge, at that period, had np peer in Kentucky upon the stump. On this occasion he surpassed him­ self, and seemed resolved to subject every auditor and conquer every preju­ dice. The crowd soon yielded to the spell of his eloquence, with one excep­ tion. A tall, burly, hard-featured, sar­ castic-looking "cuss" had posted him­ self in the front rank of the closely- packed audience, and it became im­ mediately apparent that he was not a "Brackinridge man," but very hostile to the Democratic candidate and orator. Indeed, before the speaker had well- opened his argument, this individual had interrupted him half a dozen times in an exceedingly offensive manner. The crowd became indignant--Mr. C. arose, and in a voice almost inarticulate with wrath, threatened the noisy ruffian with expulsion and punishment if he did not desist Major Breckinridge interfered. He deprecated the popular fury, and begged that the man might be allowed to remain, modestly an­ nouncing his belief that if he would only listen he would be converted. The crowd became paci­ fied, the defiant disturber of the peace grunted that he would be quiet and listen, but added, "You'll have a hell of a time a convertin' me," and the orator proceeded. The speech seemed now addressed particularly to this individual, who still maintained a conspicuous po­ sition. No longer noisy and boisterous, he was yet sufficiently demonstrative in the way of look and gesture, and inti­ mated his dissent by derisive glances and half-mattered ejaculations of con­ tempt Gradually, however, his man­ ner changed, as the voice, whose "melli­ fluous thunder" used to sway all hearts, poured on him in the full tide of its winning, resistless eloquence. The rigid terrors of his brow relaxed, the smile of scorn faded from his lip, he shifted from one foot to the other, as uneasy as a bear on hot plates, and turned once or twice as if seeking to escape, but the dense crowd held him in his plaee. Tears at length began to Steal down his cheeks, and finally bursting into nobs, he exclaimed, "By hell, Brackinridge, you ken beat 'em all! I'm fnr you agin' the worlV The effect on the audience was electrical. All opposition vanished at once, and in ono grand cheer the crowd declared it- Self unanimously "for Brackinridge." As the Major and Mr. C. were riding home in the cool of the evening, the former, all aglow still with his triumph, alluded to the incident just described with pardonable pride. "I must have been making a pretty good speech, C. ," he said, "to affect that fellow as I did." "You think you did it, do yon?" said C., dryly, with a very quizzical glance out of the corner of his eye. An indefinable dismay smote the Major, a dim feeling that some cher­ ished conviction was about to lie de­ stroyed, that something on which he had relied was about to be proven de­ lusive. "Why," he stammered, "what do you mean?" "Well, I'll tell you. While you were •mixing,' I caught sight of this fellow, who is the biggest bummer unhung, but as smart as an old ooon. I knew the people here didn't know much about him, for he don't live in this precinct Thinks I, I'll put Bill to work right off. I called him to one side, and says I, 'Bill, how do you stand in this race ?' Said he, 'I'm out of it; neither side ain't never showed cause yit' 'Well,' I said, 'I'll give you $10 if you'll go to work for Breckinridge.' He reflected a mo­ ment 'Jim C.,' he said, *if you'll make it twenty-five I'll act a piece afore that crowd to-day which'ull fetch every dad burned son-of-a-gun in it; git 'em alL I'll jes' have 'em a-whoopin' fur Breckin­ ridge.' With that he sketched the pro­ gram you saw him carry out, Before he got half through I closed the bargain. I felt sure that you would show up well --do the magnanimous and all that, and I felt that we had the work done. Now don't you think I did pretty icell, to put that fellow up." Gen. Breckinridge always declared that for a moment he felt stunned, dazed--and then as it all dawned on him in its full significance, as he realized the dramatic perfection and histrionic success of the plot, he forgot all chagrin at finding that he had been deceived, in admiration of the rascal's ingenuity and cheek. Warranted Is Wash. Although about ten thousand wash­ ing machines have been invented in America, and hundreds of agents are going about industriously disposing of them to weary and confiding housewives as labor-saving contrivances, washing continues to be about as laborious an occupation as ever, which none but the most muscular of the sex are able to en­ dure. It is a singular fact that wash­ ing machines find no market in Paris. There the women who pursue washing as an occupation do it in quite a primi­ tive way, gathering on the banks of the Seine and using rough stones to rub the garments on, after saturating them in the river and applying a quantity of soap. Others are housed in great double-deck boats moored to the shore, the lower deck being devoted to the washing and the upper used for drying purposes. Glance into a craft of that description as you pass by on board one of those swiftly gliding packets--the omnibuses of the Seine-- -and you -*will see strong, muscular women vigorously rubbing garments on boards, but no washing machines.--Texas Sifting#.

The New York Evening Post says: An examination of the immigration re­ turns points to a remarkable conclu­ sion, contrary to the generally accepted opinion concerning the attractions of this country for Mjricnltural popula­ tions. At" no tune in our history have opportunities for acquiring land abounded as in the last twenty years, during which the pre-emption and homestead laws have been in full force, and of themselves constituted a factor of great moment, while the opening of the West has been conducted with un­ wonted energy. Yet not for fifty years has the percentage > of immigrating farmers been so small as in the ten years 1873-83, as the following com­ parison will show: PEBCSNTAOK OV VAKXEftS. laaCMO 6.511851-SO ........14 1831-43;;.;.i 13 1861-SB 11.9 18U-50. 14.5| 1ST3-88 8.S The decreased immigration of farmers might be accepted without criticism werp there not also a change in the char­ acter of immigrating farmers, and a change for the worse. The proportion of farmers coming to the United States from countries Where the lowest grades of farming are the rule is becoming larger each year, while that coming from countries which possess agricul­ tural skill and intelligence is becoming less or remains unchanged. In 1872, 44.7 per cent of the immigrating farm­ ers came from the United Kingdom; in 1886, the percentage was about the same (14.4), though it had fallen to 8.8 per cent in 1882, a fall due chiefly to a decrease in the movement of farmers from Ireland. Denmark and France furnished nearly - the same per­ centage in 1886 as in 1873. On the other hand, the share of Anstro- Hungary rose from 1.2 per cent, in 1876 to 3 per cent in 1866; of Italy, from less than 1 per cent, in 1873 to 7.3 per cent in 1886; of Russia, from 5 per cent in 1873 to 2.5 per cent in 1886; and of Sweden, from 2.3 per cent in 1873 to 7 per cent, in 1886, These are all very heavy increases, and clearly point to an abnormal develop­ ment of this class of immigration in the most unwholesome lines. The per­ centage of farmers coming from Ger­ many fell from 48.6 in 1873 to 27.9 in 1886, and from Norway frjom 10.5 in the former year to 2.9 in the later. It is such tendencies as these which seem to be favoring the immigration of a low degree of labor, whether agricultural or mechanical, that give occasion to doubts on the expediency of allowing unrestricted entrance to immigrants, merely excluding the few who are clear­ ly incapable. A certain quantity of this rubbish of Europe could be re­ ceived without injury to the interests of the country, because a small number could be easily absorbed and assimila­ ted. But it is an unhealthy sign when the number of such immigrants increas­ es from thousands to tens of thousands in the short period of thirteen years.

The acceptance by the English Gov eminent of the Cunard Company's bid for the contract for carrying the mails to America resulted in putting afloat, in 1840, the Acadia, Britannia, Colum­ bia, and Caledonia. The first vessels of the Cunard Line were all wooden paddle-wheal steamers, with engines by Napier, of Glasgow, of the usual side-lever class; the return-flue boil­ ers and jet-condensers were used, the ldtter holding their place for many years to come, though surface con­ densation had already appeared as an experiment. The oompany was to carry the mails fortnightly between Liverpool, Halifax, and Boston, regu­ lar sailings to be adhered to, and four vessels to be employed, for the sum of £bl,000 ($400,000) per annum. The contract was made for seven years, but was continued from time to time for forty-six --no break occurring in this nearly half-century's service until within a short time of the present writ1- ing, when the Umbria--Nov. 4, 1880-- was the first ship in the history of the company to leave Liverpool on the regular* day of sailing for America without mails. The Britannia was the first of the fleet to sail; and, strange to say (from the-usual seaman's point of view) Fri­ day, July 4, 1810, was the day selected. She arrived at Boston in 14 days and 8 hours, a very successful passage for the time. It must have required considerable moral courage in the projectors to in­ augurate such ah undertaking on a day of the week which has been so long on the black-list of sailor superstition, notwithstanding it had the advantage of being the anniversary of the Declar­ ation of American Independence. The success of this line ought certainly to rehabilitate Fridav to a position pf equality among the more fortunate days, though it will be observed that none of the transatlantic lines lufre yet selected it as a day of sailing. The Hibernia and Cambria followed in 1843 and 1845, 530 tons larger in displacement, with 1,010 indicated horse-power, and steaming about 9i knots per hour. The present Atlantic traveler considers himself a much- injured person if he has not electric lights and bells, baths ad libitum, and a reasonable amount of cubic space in which to bestow himself. None of the least of these existed in the earlier passenger ships; a narrow birth to sleep in and a plentiful supply of food were afforded, but bevond these there was little--notwithstanding the whole of the ship was given up to first- cabin passengers, emigrants not being carried in steamers until 1850, and it was not until 1853 that any steamer of the Cunard line was fitted for their ac­ commodation. How little it was possible for the wanderer to Europe in those days may be seen when comparison shows the Britannia to have been but half the length of the Umbria, but two-thirds her breadth, but six-tenths her depth, with much less than half her speed, and less than one-twentieth her power. --Svribner. - Mb. i.
