John V. (Vyle writes of Henry Clay's
irewell to the Senate in the September
idies' Home Journal, regarding; it as
lite most dramatic event witnessed in the
idled States Senate. Almost from the
iciiiiio words of the famous valedictory
vast assemblage of people were in
ats, and the "iireat t.ouiiuotier was
Ireipicntly iiilertuptcd by the sobs of bis
auditors. "The scene was indeed itu
pressive as Mr. (.'lay pronouccd ihe con-
ludini; words of his farewell to public

while all about him strong; men, swayed
by the iuag;iielic power of ihe ureat

suspense of intense feeling; and alteiilioti
lervaded the crowded assemblage as the
fatuous statesman, with lowering; eyes,
re-uuicd bis seat. Kor several moments
the silence was unbroken; Senators sat as
in the shadow uf some impending;
calamity; men ol all parlies seemed
equally overcome by the pathos and
majesty ol the j;reat statesman's farewell.
"As Mr. Clay rose to leave the chatti
er alter adjourniueut, which discreetly
followed his address, and after he bad
rid farewell to all the other Senators,
he encountered Mr. Calhoun. The eyes
of the whole assemblage were fixed on
these two old friends and old political
antagonists. There was a pause in the
ministration which awaited Mr
Clay the moment of suspended anticipa
tion was almost paiuful. l'or five years
y had becu estranged, and (be only
words which had passed between them
had been those harshly spoken iu debate.
Hut now, as they met the old time came
over them. They remembered ouly the
political companionship cf twenty years'
standim;. The intervening; ditlereuctB
which had chilled their licaris toward
ach other were forg;otteii. The teats
sprang to tlieir eyes. J ney shook cacti

A COLLISION."
Hull an a Train llaio a lu.vlo
llurt. No One
Near a station on the Southern between
here and Raleigh, an excursion train
Thursday had a collision with a bull, a
art ami a negro man, io which, however,
no one was hurt.
The train was going into the station
and had blowed for a crossing just above the
place, .luit as the engiuecr rounded a
curve leading to it he saw the obstruction
on the track, lie put on his airbrake, but
could not stop. The whole lay out was
knocked some twenty feet or more, but
by the lime passengers reached the spot
the little speckled bull was up and grazing
rass, while the old negro man was
scratching his head and trying to restore
bis thinking cap to its normal condition.
A gentleman from Greensboro was the
first to accost him. Asked as to how be
attie to be on the track, did he hear the
train, &c , he said:
"Yes, boss, I hecrd de bell aud de
whistle; I hecrd it plain."
"Then why did you not stop what
made you go on the track?"
Well, you sec boss, it's dis way. Dis
here little bull I wuz a driven is a queer
bull, he is. J'if you pulls him or fools
wid him,iryiu' to stop him, be is jistasapt
to go as stop, or as apt to stop us to go on.
I knowed dis and do truth is I wuz
afeercd to do anything, so I jist let him
iilun, and I dun played de foul too."
A protninenl railroad man was standing
by and heard the conversation. "Y'ou
say you heard the bell and the whistle of
the engine?" he asked.
"Yes, sir, boss I did dat."
"And you let the bull go right ahead
onto the track?"
''.Yes, sir."
"Well, you remember this, old man,
aud if you ever eome iuto a court house
and swear differently the devil will urc
get you."
"Cum purty nigh gettin' me dis time,
