spondonco of Tin ; J EK. ] Within six milci
of this town , In the richest of the fumed bltio
crass region of Kentucky , lives ono of the
most interesting characters in American his
tory. General Cnssius M. Clay , the flrst
abolitionist of the slaveholders of the south ,
n prominent candidate for vice president nt
the time that Hamlln was nominated , our
minister to Russia during the administration
of Abraham Lincoln , and for the past fifty
years ono of the leading thinkers of the coun
try , ho is today , tit 81 ! , almost as strong intel
lectually and physically as ho was irhon ho
mndo his first abolition speech as a student in
Yale college nearly sixty years ago. His
four score years have not diminished his
courage , nnd bis nrm is ni ready to strike in
his own dofcnso today in it hnS boon in the
many deadly cnconntors of his past , wherein ,
in Bolf-dofunsc , bo has used the pistol nnd the
knlfoln support of Ills doctrines nnd has
fought to the death. There is no braver man
in the United Stales than Casslus M. Clay ,
and I doubt whether thcro is a gentler or
moro cultured ono. 1 have spent several
days with him on his cstato , known as White
Hall , and have had hours of chatty conversa
tion with him about the great men ho has
known , and ns to some of the most stirring
incidents of his eventful life.
General Clay nt Wlilto Unit.
Cassius M. Clay was perhaps the richest
young man in the south. Ills father had vast
tracts of land , nnt ! ho loft him ! ) , ' 200 acres of
the very best Kentucky blue grass. Whlto
hall is ono of the finest mansions of the
south. General Clay was born upon the spot
on which ho now lives , and his father's house
cost $50,000 , nnd General Clay has added such
improvements to it as to make it cost $ ! 0,000
moro. It is a great red brick of thrco stories ,
of nearly an hundred foot front , and almost
the saino depth. It stands on a knoll , and a
rich rolling country of forest nnd lawn slopes
out on every side of it. A wldo hall is
entered through a big front door , and as you
go in you sou in niches on either side of you
busts of Hunry Clay nnd Iloraoo Grooloy.
The bust of Grenloy was talcon when ho was
a young man and it was made by Joel Hart ,
the famous Kentucky sculptor , for Mr. Clay.
Henry Clay's bust is also by Hart , and both
of them are originals of great value. The
hall is so largo that you could turn n wagon
load of hay about in It without touching the
walls. It is furnished with sofas and chairs ,
none of which are less than nn hundred
years old , nnd upon Its walls hang works of
art by famous European painters. Gort-
sclmkoff and the empress of Russia look
down upon you from the left as you enter ,
and on the right you see a magnificent paintIng -
Ing by the Lnndsoor of Russia of the Czar
Alexander II. , riding In a sloigh. To the
right of this hall are tbo parlors. Their
ceilings , llko that of the hall , are at least
twenty foot high , and they nro luxuriously
furnished and have many beautiful paintings.
To the loft of the hall is the general's library ,
consisting of two largo rooms , and back of
this is the dining room. The second floor
is of the same generous dimensions ,
and mv bedroom had callings fifteen feet
high , nnd it was , I Juago , twonty-fivo feet
suuaro. Shortly alter I was shoxvn to my
room a pinto of the most luscious grapes was
sent up and General Clay has , perhaps , the
finest fruit in Kentucky. Ho is fam'od for
his watermelons , and on the inside of the
hall r.enr the door , I noted at least a score of
great melons , some of which were four foot
long nnd about eighteen inches in diamotor.
I four.d them us sweet as they looked , nnd
General Clay discussed the fruit as wo nto
thorn together. "Tho bast molons'said ho.
ono day as we were gettinu uwny with ouo
about the hizo of a waste paper basket , "never
got into the market. They have thin and
"
britUo rinds and they are" sure to break in
shipping. Yon note that this melon has
wuilo sends , nnd still it is as riuo as it can
be. I find that the seeds of melons chance
with cultivation and the seeds of this stock
wore black when I began to cultivate them u
few reari ago , but they hnvo changed from
year to year until they are now as white as
snow.'f During our meals wo ate as a rule
ilono , for the general keeps bachelor's hall
lie discussed gastronomy and the laws of
licalth , nnd told mo he attributed his longev
ity to temperance in eating , nnd tlrat ho al
ways pet up from the tabln hungry. Ho
preferred vegetables to moats , nnd though
the tublo was loaded down with good things.
no took but littlo. Ho proudlv said
that everything on his table" with
the exception of the pepper , the salt
and the coffee had been raised by him on bis
farm , and that ho foil happy in being inde
pendent. At ono time during my stay ho
miked of farming nnd said that ho found
the raising of Southdown sheep nnd export
cattle the most protltablo , and I urn told that
ho has the finest sheep in the United States.
Within the past few years General Clay has
"
divided up "a largo port of his Kentucky
Inuas and has given them to his sons. Ho
still holds , however , 350 acres about his
homo , nnd the working of this is his business
and amusement.
Ijincolii niul Sownril.
Ono evening during my stay I asked Mr.
Uluy who was the greatest ina-i ho had ever
known. Ho replied : "I believe that Abra
ham Lincoln was the greatest man this coun
try has over produced. As n diplomat ho
was greater than all his diplomats. As n
general ho was superior to any general in the
nrmy , and ns a statesman ho far outranked
his cabinet. Ho was closged in his adminis
tration by his cabinet , nnd ho had homo bad
elements about him. Take Sownrd for in
stance. Ho wns not in sympatny with Lin
coln. He was n man of no principle and was
always working for himself nnd stealing
from the presidency. I know Seward very
well bcforo the convention of ISiM ) , and I
called on him at Washington. lie was then
very anxious to bo president and ho showed
mo u pauor ho had written in which ho an
nounced that ho was for the union , slave or
free. That killed him with mo , and 1 then
decided I would have nothing to do with his
cauaidnoy. Ho know that 1 wont against
him and ho became my enemy , aud we were
onemii'3 till the day of his death. Ho WAS
secretary of state whllo I was lu Uussia , aud
ho heaped many potty insults upon mo. I
tirsl mot Lincoln before ho was elected to
congress. It was dunng n lecture that
I gave at Springtleld , aud Lincoln was
sitting whittlingin the back part
of the crowd , I boon mo well acquainted
with him later on , and when ho wu nomi
nated I was loading candidate for vico-prosl-
dent , but I did no * go to the convention nor
uuko any effort to have my frinnds nominate
roe , ana Hamlln was chosen. President Lin
coln wrote mo shortly after this that ho
intended to appoint mo secretary ol war , I
had nerved In the Mexican war and had some
military training. I would have accepted
the position , ana I remained in Kontuouv , at
my homo hero , waiting for Lincoln to "fulfil
his jiromUo. At lost ono day I received a
letter tolling ma I had been mails minister to
Spain. I did not want the Spanish mission
and 1 started at onca to Washington to see
about it. "
How a Russian Minister \Vi\n \ Ap
pointed.
"I wont to the whlto houio as soon as I got
to Washington , " continued General Clay ,
"ftiid I found the president in the library.
Hu received tan pleasantly and I told him at
once that I could not take the mission to
bpaln. Said I : 'I don'l wunt to go to any of
the effete monarchies of Europe. I have
served all my llfo for my party , nud I hnvo
never asked for an oftlco. I had thought that
I might take ono as a sort of a vindication ot
ray principles , but slnua you have BO many
bettor men than my alf , I think I had better
go back to Kentucky aud retiru to private
life. ' Lincoln , who had been rnthcr reserved
up to tnls tlmo , here got up at < d put his hand
on my shoulder nnd saia : 'I don't want you
to go homo , Mr. Clay. I want to < 1o some
thing for you , but. X nm 50 hedged around
here that f can't do Just what I will. Isn't
tboro some place you will take I' 'Well ' , ' said
I , 'you have made up your cabinet. How
about the missions to Franco and England 1'
President Lincoln tUon said that these
had been promised to Adams and Dayton ,
and that bo didn't uco how ho could
lot mo have cither of them. 'Well,1 f aid I ,
that nettles it. " There is no other place 1
want. I will go hack to Kentucky. ' Presi
dent Lincoln urged mo not to go. Ho said ,
'Stay n few days , Mr. Clav , and I will sco
what can bo done. " This wns in the morning.
That evening I dined with Sanford , who hu'l
just been made minister to Belgium. Whllo
wo were at dinner the waiter came and told
mo that Senator IJakor of Oregon wanted mete
to stop out into the hall for n moment. I had
known iiaker very well In the Mexican war.
Ho was a noble fellow. 1 lott the table and
went out. Ho said'Tho , president has sent
mo to see you. Ho lias been conslderlngyoui'
case and ho wants to do something to ulcaso
you , Ho wants lo know If something else
except London or Paris will not bo accepta
ble to you. Why don't ' you tnko the Russian
ministry ! Russia Is a great country , and It
may bo un important clement in the coming
struggle. It is ono of the greatest courts of
Europe , nnd If I wcro you I would tuko it. ' "
"Well , " continued General Clav , "I Just
had a good dinner , nnd Unker was my friend ,
nnd I finally told him that I would take the
Husslau mission and that ho might go and
tell the president that I would accept It If ho
would appoint mo , or if ho would wait until
dinner was over I would go with him. 'Wait
for the dinner , ' said bo. * Hang the dinner.
Let's go to the white house now. I have n
cab here nnd I toll you the president is wait
ing. ' 'All right , ' said I , "and with that I
went with him to the white house.
President Lincoln was sitting in his oflico.
His logs were stretched out. His head was
rusting on his hand and ho. wns ia deep
thought. As wo came in , Bauer said : "Mr.
President. 'Clay ' will take the Russian mis
sion. ' " Lincoln sprung to his feet and shook
mo by both bunds and said : "Clay , I thank
you. You relieve mo of great ombarruss-
uionts. " Anu so I went to Ru&sin
The Kvpcriciiucs of u Uiploinnt.
"How did yon like your mission ? " I asked.
"Very much indeed , " replied General Clay ,
"and I think I did a great deal for America
during my stay thcro. It was through mo that
AlusKn wns secured to the United Statesand
I carried on all the preliminary negotiations.
The question came up first through the pro
ject for building a telegraph line through Si
beria across the Behring Straits. An Ameri
can traveler named Perry McD. Collins had
gone across Siberia and he had interested
Mr. Slbly , the president of the Western
Union Telegraph , in the scheme for building
a telegraph line from America across Uchring
straits to St. Petersburg. Sibloy attempted
to got a charter for bis line through me , and
I got ono which would Imvo made the fortunes
of the company had they not spoiled the job
nt Washington through our secretary of state ,
Seward , pressing the infamous Perkins claim ,
in my charter wo hud a clause which pro
vided that every telegram from Siberia to St.
Petersburg should pay to the American com
pany a rebate of one-half of the price of the
teli'grum. This 1 got out of friendships at
St. Petersburg , nnd I had interested two of
the grand dukes of Russia to take
stock in the company. Then Sow
nrd pressed the Perkins claim. It
was an outrageous steal and Seward know it.
Ho commanded mo to press it and I handed
his letter to Prince Gortchacow. Gortcha-
cow read and spoke English ns well as I do.
Ho looked over the loiter and then slapped
it down on the table and emphatically said :
"Wo will go to war before wo will pay a single -
glo red kopeck of it. " From this Umo on ho
was angry with Seward , and he refused to
give any concessions in favornf the tt > loeraph
lino. lip was well enough satisfied to have
it built , but ho did not Intend to show any
favors. I then got them the right to build
the liuo under other conditions , ana through
this caino about the negotiations which gave
us Alaska.1'
"What do you think of George Kcnnan's
articles on Kusslal" said I.
"I don't think much of them , " said Gen
eral Cloy. "I don't think the man is acting
like a gentleman. Ho accepted their hospi
talities and ho is now misconstruing and
misroposonting them. I don't believe there
are any greater cruelties committed in the
Russian prisons than there are in the Amer
ican prisons. Wo have lately had an investi
gation hero in Kentucky and the testimony
goes to show that our prisoners were fed on
bad meat. The warden complained.of it and ho
was discharged , and wo lot out our prisoners
to the same people who have oppressed them.
Russia is a great country and the United
State * owes u great deal to Russia. They
were our friends during the late war , and I
can tell you wo needed friends then. The
English were ns strong for the south as were
the people of South Carolina. Germany and
Franco both wanted to see us fail. They all
supported the south in an under
pin d way and baa it not boon for their fear
of Russia , they would have supported it
jponly. I enjoyed my stay at St. Peters
burg. I was on oloso terms with tbo czar ,
ind I know Pnnco Gortchacow intimately ,
[ lo wns one of the greatest men of Europe
ind ho was practically the governor of
Russia. Ho was the equal of Bismarck or
Disraeli , and ho wa > a man of equal culture
with either of them. "
Stories of Ilency Clay. _
Cassius M. Clay was a cousin of Henry
31ay. Lexington is not moro than an hour's
ride from Richmond , and General Clay know
lis great relative well. Ho says that Clay
would have made a great general , and ho
says that the similarity in all respects bo-
Aveon Clay and Jaokson was striking. They
lad hands very much alike , nnd they wcro
.ntolloctually much the same in character.
"I believe that Clay would have been presi
dent of the United States had ho had a
chance to distinguish himself in the nrmy ,
and the only man In the past whom I ca'n
compare with Clay and Jackson is Julius
Cinsar. All three possessed gron * moral
courage , all were statesmen , and Clay would
jnvo made , I thlnk.mi equally good general
with Jackson or Cujsar. Cluy had romark-
iblo physical courage. They toll a story of
: iim in Lexington during his early law prac
tice thero. Ho was a tall , gaunt young fol-
ow of 21 or "j years of ago when ho imag
ined himself insulted bv n man who wns toner
or fifteen years older than ho was nnd who
wns very much stronger. Clay attempted
to light the man and the man
mocked him down. Now it wns tha cus
tom in these days for the under man , when
lie found ho could not succeed against his
adversary , to cry "enough , " and the man
then got off him. Cluy would not cry
"enough , " and the crowd , thinking no would
DO killed , pulled the man off. No sooner had
Clay gotten to ills Icot then ho wont at the
man again and ho wns again knoclted down
ind poundon. Tbo man was pulled off and
3Iay again attacked him , and finally in order
.o save Clay from being killed his friends
look his opponent Into a store and kept Clay
on the outside for fear ha should light him
self to death. Clay had a number of duels
and he had a good military mind.
Cluy nnel Webster.
"How did ho compare with Wohstor'j" I
asked.
"Honrv Clay was nn entirely different man
Trom Webster , " replied Cassius M. Clay.
"Webster was a great man intellectuallybut
10 had none of the natural quickness of Clay ,
ind I don't think ho had as great n soul as
Jlay hnd , Ho wns not a man of great per
sonal magnetism , and I don't think bis moral
character was as good as that of Clay's. I
Irst mot him when I wns a boy on my way
; o college , and I wns greatly impressed with
lim then , and ho wus Clay's superior In edu
cation and in generalization. Clav was par-
: icular about money mutters. Webster was
wrpctually borrowing from his friends and
10 loft a will full of bequests which his
'rlonds were to pav. I don't think nny ono
who over knew Henry Clny failed to llko
aim. Ho was a frioud of mine , and bo was
my lawyer in tbo uit which was brought
against mo for carving up the notorious
bully , S. M. Brown. "

bo found in cities. After n short time ouo
wearies of thatnolso , that hurry , and that
busy trafllo which makes up city life , nud n
Ipnglng comes over ouo for the country and
Its quiet charms. Once here , wo find our
longings nt nn end ; a restful quiet greets us ,
nnd wo welcome it as a friend , The nir
comes crisp and cool from glaciers nnd snow
Alp ; the green of the pine forests rests our
eyes , after tno blinding brightness of the
city ; the delicate perfume of the pine is
wafted to us by the mountain breezes nnd
wo drink a refreshing draught nt the primi
tive fountain , fad by the spring which bub
bles up at our col ,
At I'onco With All the World.
Ourclmlot among the mountains delights us
with its complete simplicity , its cleanliness
and rustic appointments. The floors are of
nlnin pine wood nnd uncarpoted. Our rooms
would scarcely satisfy the fusiiionublo belle
In a city , yet hero they seem to bo n part of
the place nud entirely In keeping with the
surroundings. The walls nro covered with a
gay colored paper in which birds nud llowors
appear lo bo at war with ono another. 1'roin
a hasty glance I should imagine the latter to
behaving the. better part of It. There nro
five windows hung with long chintz cur
tains , while the few pieces of .furniture
which are scattered about the big room Arc
covered with n bright rod , ilowured ere-
tonne. In the corner stands n largo white
porcelain stove , without which no house is
considered complete , for lires ono must have
in winter , aud open fires are unknown in
Tyrol. These stoves nro often overloaded
'
w'ith decoration , being the chief ornament of
a room , the elaborately cnrvod or painted tiles ,
nro often quite a study , entire scenes , usually
biblical in character , being worked out
upon them. Over the beds hang several
crude colored nriuts , in bluek wooden frames ,
showing Christ and the holy mother witn
the apostles , engaged in various scriptural
pursuits. Thcso wall embellishments nro
evidently intended to administer to the spirit
ual side of our nature. The meagre furnish
ing is completed by a plain pine table , aud a
wardrobe for clothes , which stands nt an un
certain nnglo , making one hesitate to approach
preach too near it for fear of being crushed
to death lu a mass of d cur is.
In tlic Heart of tin ; Alps.
With all this simplicity , everything is so
clean nnd tempting "that I would not ex
change my room hero for one In Paris , with
frescoed celling nnd tapestried walls. The
views from tuo green Covered verandahs are
charming. j .
Looking down from a height of 400 feet , wo
see Innsbruck withlts numerous bell towers
nud quaint gabled houses ; the glacier fed
river Ina , traversed , , by .stono bridges ; the
stately Ales , in tbo background , forming an
almost complete clrclo.uround the town ; each
high plateau with Its schloss or red roofed
church ; country roads , winding in and out
among the hills and valleys.
To the loft lies Hull , with its tall , pictur
esque tower ; the v/hife walls of Its ancient
cloister gleaming in the sun. Among the
sombre tints of the iifuo woods , stands the
casllo of .Ambrus ; ahu.stlll boyondthqMittcl-
geborgo , covered with meadows and forests
and pretty dorfs.
lu Memory of Calvary.
The walks about the country are many , the
roads well kept , and the peasants ono moots
polite and often chivalrous iu their bearing
toward strangers. Ready , always , to give
whatever information they may hnvo to cive ,
nnd generous , to un amusing extent , with the
contents of their snuff box.
Shrines abound everywhere , usually built
ns a chapel , with the lifeless Christ done in
wood or wax. Some of these are vorv real
istic.
Looking in nt the iron prated door , the im
pression ono receives is that of life , and in
tnp darkened tones of the chapel wo seem to
bo lookinir upon real physical suffering.
Thuso calvaries are to DO met with on all
the country roads. Tnov are carefully looked
after by the peasants. There is frequently a
dim wax taper burning upon the altar , or a
small olive oil lump , shedding its uncertain
light upon the inanimate body within ; whiio
n bunch of Alpine rosen is thrust between the
burs , und n cluster of wild fern leaves.plncod
there by the faithful. Awny from home
these shrines appeal to ono in n peculiarly
Intense manner. They stand isolated and
alone upon the most conspicuous point of an
Alp or dangerous ravine , and far removed
from human habitation , they scorn as mes
sengers of peace.
The Patois of the People.
The people In the country sneak no language -
guago but their own , nud that is but u cor
ruption of the Austrian-German , n patois ,
which is tnr from being harmonious or pleas
ant to tbo car. To get uwav from the beaten
roads of the summer tourist , und penetrate
into the beautiful parts of Tyrol , sonio
Knowledge of German Is absolutely neces
sary. Ono then finds himself away from the
palatial hotel nnd its much informed porticr ,
and waiters , who put many of us to shame
with their almost perfect Knowledge of
English , whllo wo know so imparfoctly their
language. Wo must now turn our attention
to nouns nud verbs , nnd try to recall to mind
our Ollondorf , to make known our wants.
The inns are simple and unpretentious. The
landlords are polite ; the rooms scrupulously
clean ; the food coolced a I'Allemnndo.
The people are honest and have not yet
learned to bo extortionate in tboir demands
upon ttio traveler's purso. The inns are
usually two stories high the lodgincs nbovo ,
tbo restaurant , which serves ulso for dining
nnd smoking room , below ,
For the traveler , bo ho a Croesus , must
dine und sup with the usual frequenters of
such Inns. The tups are running nit day.aml
all night , ns well , for boor Is the only drink
ono can obtain hero , unless it bo an inferior
quality of ivlno , or n wonk klrschwassor. I
doubt if ono could liud > a bottle of brandy or
whisky in nny one oMlwso villages.

The Mission of the 1'ortiOr.
This Illustrious Individual , dosplto his uni
form and military bearing. ! * simply a roilnod
beggar In disguise. His tip must bo in uo-
cordnuco with his ofllclal position ! It must bo
no ordinary tip ; he docs absolutely nothing
for you during your sojourn at the hotel ; ho
could not lift your bag or hat box for that
would soil his well kept hands : ho simply
wishes you a pleasant promenade or Journey ,
nnd for such uoferonco on bis part to an or
dinary traveler liku mvself he will expect
two guidons , or about f 1 lu American money.
Should you ht-sltato to substan
tially reward him , upon your do-
parluro ho will remind you of your

thut you have "forgotten tbo portler , " and ho
will not permit that omnibus tourivo on until
tbo tip is dropped into his eager palm.

htm for bo Is u man of expensive tastes nnd
Binokos only these cigarettes marked "Xoras-

this tip might do for Boots , out not for him.
Then you will glauco at that spotless uni

into nn luner pocket , nnd feel that you , a
plain plebinn , have insultcil royalty , yet you
cannot ijuito make it all clear , in your own

form is troubling you ; it seemed too line to
go a-bogging ; and the man , too , looked such
n gentleman why , ho might bo un ompcror
with such a military cnrrlagn aud tho'o

The I'nlntcr of II IH I'roplu.
The Tyrolean peasant , nnd especially the
hunter , In his suit of grcim ami gray , nnd
Kroon felt hat with long , stiff feather stand

with a dead chamois strapped to the hunter's '
side , the jaunty hat ua feather pushed buck
from the hrorzed face , and the gun or rifle

froggor to pnlnt , so full of manly strength
and lite.
It H smnll wonder that the now famous
Tyrolean artist found among hU own people
subjects to transfer to canvas which hnvo
made his name known to every friend of
Tyrol. Himself n peasant in the early days
of his work , ho itnow the peasant's lifo , und
