AY. IHI'IIANAN. .1 Al ' K So N A S'llt'l. EVE
LAN 1) AS KISS EllS.
Ex-Cnitcd States Senator Clingmun,
f North Carolina, was a jircnt friend of
Henry Clay, Ilu was n youns man in
'undress when Clay was in tlio Si'iiatf,
itud tells nio tbat Clay was one of the best
icrs who has ever shaken liau'U will)
country constituents 'Henry Clay,
lid he to day, "was fond of kiseing pret-
iils, ami be was iuito as popular
ilh 1 1 1 o women us with the men. It
as his custom, io ineeliuo a lady, to sa
iler in the (loud old English slylei
nd the young; ladies of Washington, du-
bis latter years, were as anxious to
;ct a kiss from Clay as those of the pres-
nt are to receive a I'liendly Kilute from
William Teeuuiseh Slnrniiin, I
remeiiiber, however, that hi' bad to kiss
any women whom he did not wish to,
nd durino one of bis calls a bony-fcut-
nred. thin-lipped old girl of forty odd
years was receiving with a friend. As
Clay entered sha rushed to him and got
lirst kiss. She then slipped out the
uext way, ran down the street several
houses and got inlo line with some other
fricmln of hers who were receiving, and
icre she received a secoud kiss. She
said to mu tbat night: 'Oh! Mr. Clay
kissed wo twice to-day!1 uud she smack
ed her lips as she said it."
'Shortly after this," continued Sena
r Clingmau, '-Mr. Hives, editor of the
Globe, entertained Mr. Clav.it his emin
ent. The linn! was during Clay's
latter years; when be was beginning to
eak. At Mr. Hives' house there was
bevy of pretty girls, and Clay, as usual,
got all the kisses, while we young men
stood back with hearts that yearned and
mouths that watered. At last I said;
Senator Clay; I have long thought tlrat
you were overburdened with your public
duties, and. as your friend, I don't, want to
you overtax yourself. There are few
things in which I can help yon. I
would not attempt to make your speeches
but I really think that I could do the
kissing fur you as far as the younger
generation is concerned, and I assure you
if you will turn this over to iuj, I will
put my whole soul into my" lips ami will
take pleasure in the work.'
Mr Clay. drew himself up to his full
height, while the girls tittered, and said,
with a grandiloquent air, 'I thank you,
Mr. Cliuguinu, but I am perfectly able to
attend to my duties, private as well as
public' "
President Clevelaud is averse to kiss
ing babies aud be avoids it whenever he
possibly cau at his noonday receptions.
Now and then he has to succumb, how
ever, aud be would perhaps add to his
popularity with bis Cabinet if ho would
do as Andrew Jaekson did delegate the
kissing to them. Jackson one one of
his tours was handed a dirty-faced boy
by a very proud mother. Secretary ol
War Eaton was standing beside hiw at
the time. Jackson held the baby up and
said: "Here is a b auiil'ul sciincQ of A
meriean childhood. Note the brightness
of that eye, the strength of these limbs
the sweetness of these litis!" Here be
pushed the baby into tho fate of Gen
Eaton and without a word of warning,
"kiss him, Eaton!" aud of course Eaton
had to do so.

CURINC HYPOCHONDRIA.
Among the gliosis of a fashionable up.
tow n boarding bouse is a charming mar
ried woman who enjoys the most robust
health, but who until recently made her
friends and neighbors believe that she
was a suffering woman and endured all
the ills and complaints to be found in a
medical encyclopaedia. She would come
down to breakfast every morning, and
would at once begin to narrate the story
of her painful suffering during the night.
One day it Would be neuralgia, the next
bronchitis, and so on until apparently al
most every portion of her body was alfec-
1. While she was generally admired
for her mental and social qualities, sli 1
the monotonous recitals finally became
an ntfliciion to her friends. They pray
ed for deliverance and then set about de
vising a scheme to effect it. A large
sheet of foolscap paper was hung up in
one corner of the largo dining room aud
aded in large letters: 'Bulletin of Mrs.
's health.'' Every time the lady
us heard to i.,ake a complaint some one
ould sneak up and recoid it on tin
beet. At the end el two weeks the lit
ilmenls covered the entire sheet, and
the most remarkable feature of it was
that no two of the complaints were alike
The fair sufferer's attention bad never
en drawn to the daily record oflnr
altll until the bottom line of the sh
as li.led. It was tlicn that she was
led courteous!!' to tin; corner to read the
tiitiftil slorv id' her sulVcrinos. The hu
morous side affected her forcibly, and she
broke out into a merry pi at of laughter.
She was cured.

The Spirit of Hint,, iv Uir.,ale,l ly Study.
lux II,, Individual.
t -'Ihe nieii who liuvo striven to go;'-
nt the spirit of history have found it
f1y studying Hi! individual." This
sentence, culled from the address ol
Pent Orcn Hoot, of Hamilton College,
nt the recent nuuiinl meeting of t tic
Oneida Historical Sieiety nt Utica,
deserves to be recorded in golden let
ters. He further said: Until re
cently historians havo ileal! with that
which wits grout rallier ilmii small.
It is certainly true that there has been
an nwakening iu historical research
in this country. The nutiqiiurinu is
no longer an object of sneers. The
world is learning to aiqiroeiato tiie
efforts of such men. Tho historians
iico striving lo gather the facts eon
corning our early national life. The
first Incentive lo this work Is tlio eon
ditioii of general historical science.
History was, not long ngo, merely
chronicle. Wo want II -sli and blood,
and not the skete on aloua. Local
his'vrlenl research enables ns toget.it
tho spirit of things. It is not the
crest of the wave that litis the tidal
,fm-ce. We most come down closer lo
llio individual, closer to the heart of
tho people. We have had years enough
I ill America to nwaUen that passion
and palllos nf which so liiucli lias been
written iu other i-ooiilries. I should
like to gel down a Utile nearer to I lie
homes and hit! notices of the men whose
names ndoru hi-tlnry's pages." A
knowledge of the principles of human
nclions exceeds in value all other
learning, and its iniportHiico fu nd
j isliiig the truo nature aud measures
of right anil wrong can not be overes
timated. Secret history is the supple
ment of history ilself and ils great
corrector. Tho combination of secret
with public history results in a perfec
tion w hich separately U possessed by
neither. Secret history nppoars lo
deal oxclu-ively with ininiitc things;
thus its connection w-lih great results
is too often overlooked.
Tho sillily of human n nt llio was
w hat rendered Si crates tho wisest of
nieii. Tbcro Is nothing which more
thoroughly reveals the Individual or
unriddles n mysterious event than tho
trilling incidents that 111 thoutsclvos
count us chuff No picture, of human
uuttiro nro more useful than those
found in friendly correspondence. In
reading secret history we aro occu
pied iu observing what passes rather
than in being told of il; that is, wo
sue transformed into tho contempo
raries of tho writers and nro enjoying
their confidence. T hey mark the com
mencements and wo tho ends, and oft
entimes what nppoars to thorn uncer
tain becomes to us unquestionable.
Wo recover what would otherwise be
lost to us in the general views of his
lury. Tho story of tl period Is never
complelo without particulars any
