The following anecdote is related of Henry Clay, illustrating the power of his eloquence upon tho minds of a jury : , j&ouie years nnce an orphan prl of Cincinnati applisd to Mr. Clay to ad vo eaic her claim to a very - large amount of property in that city. The title was an old one, ami as usual in such cases. was strongly opposed by those who had lonz held die possession. During the address-to the jury by the counsel, Mr. ('lay was engaged in deep thought upon his cjiemcaeweli know ijpgaLjmJ immense cn.rt wonld be required to counteract the prejudice which tliejnry, in common with others,, might have her cawe. After an arpmenr upon the legal points involved in the case, Mr. Clay commenced an appeal to the pas sions and syn nathy of tho jury. He touched upon the circumst ancet of the parties; His client was a poor orphan girl, and the dclendahls were rich, and roost able to sustain defeat. Having en- wrned upon this topic, and others of a here into Court, and demands the pro tection of the orphan's rittd at the hands of an impartial jury." This anjical had the desired e:loet. fbo mrv. without leaving the box, cave a verdict in the orphan's favor, which - at -once raised her from poverty to a large fortune.
