The Huron Expositor, 1884-08-08, Page 6Henry Clay's_ Horse.
VIE NAG THE GREATEST STATESMAN WON AT
A GAM OF POKER.
A. Washington letter in the Houston
Post says : "_I recollect Henry Clay's
turnout very well," said an old-timer ;
" he had one of the old style Concord
buggies, With a top that suggested a
Mother Hubbard bonnet. It was evi-
dentlyl a second-hand affair that Mr.
Clay had picked up in a trade, and
nowadals wonld do very well for a wo-
man to haul vegetables around town in.
The cushions were stuffed with moss
and were so well worn you could see the
moss, sticking out at the sides. I'll bet
Henry Clay didn't know what a lap -robe
was,and as for a whip,he didn'thave any.
He used to slash his old sorrel. stallion
with the ends of the reins so loud you
could hear it a block off. The steps to
the buggy were gone and Mr. Clay used
to jump over the wheels:. When he
wanted to get in he put one foot over
the hub and swung the other around
over the wheel and dash -board. The
wheels were so high he had to let the
top down to get out. They had axle -
grease in those days, but Mr. Clay had
evidently never found it out. He always
drove his horse at a canter, you could
hear the wheels of his buggy squeaking
as many notes as there are on a piccolo.
''« Ah, well do I remember that sorrel
stallion," continued the old-timer.
" Henry CIay won him one night at
poker in John Hancock's saloon, which
is still running on the avenue from Col-
onel Jim Bright, who lived at Falls
Chn>ch, Virginia. Bright used to come
over every week and play with Clay,
and he generally went back to Falls
Church with a pocketful of money. But
that was Clay's lucky night. He got
• away with $1,200 of Bright's money, his
watch, saddle and bridle, overcoat,
saddle bags, a new suit of clothes - that
were in the saddle bags, three finger
rings and a breastpin, a brace of pistols.
and a bowie knife, and a pair of boots—
" Oh, you needn't laugh," said the
old-timer with great animation ; that's
the way they played poker in them days.
A man went the whole hog or nothing.
Why, didn't you never hear of the time
Henry Clay bet himself clean down fol
his undershirt, and he offered to pull
that off,but the other fellow didn't wear
an undershirt to put up against it.
Well, it's so, any how, and the very
table he played the game on is now in
the front room rap -stairs, in Hancook's
saloon. It is an old pine table about
three feet square, with a hole in the
middle to drop the percentage through
for threes, falls, flushes, and jack -pots.
Well, sir, about that old stallion. He
was well known around Washington for
several years. He always nickered when
Clay came near him. Clay carried a
pocketful of shelled corn, and he gave
the horse a handful every 'time he got
into the buggy. The boys knew the
stallion well; and they used to give him
pieces of bread, cake, nuts, or anything
of the sort. He'd eat watermelon and
meat, and I've seen him eat wads of pa-
per as though he was trying to make
the boys laugh. Well, sir, Clay had a
nigger named Sam. One day he loaned
the stallion to Sam to drive to Alexan-
dria. Sam got drunk before he left
town, and he started out on a gallop.
He didn't stop till he got to Mount Ver-
non, twenty miles off. There he turned
around and galloped all the way back.
The old stallion dropped dead at the
edge of South Washington. There were
over one hundred boys at the funeral.
In revenge Clay sold the nigger to a
Louisana sugar planter, with a proviso
in the bill of sale that the planter should
hitch Sam in shafts and work him in
the. cane -mill. Fact, -sir l"
Persistence of the Beaver.
The quickness with which a colony
discovers a wholesale attempt against
their peaoe is astonishing ; yet if their
numbers are undisturbed, -or diminished
but gradually, even , the presence of
civilization will not drive them from
their haunts. To -day beavers are re-
turning to streams in Michigan, long
ago abandoned by their race, simply
because they find themselves unmolest-
- ed, the demand for beaver peltry being
slight, and the prices paid out of all
proportion to the labor entailed in trap-
ping. It has been said that, if a dam or
house be once injured by the hand of
man, the colony at once disappears. But
that this is fallacious is proved by the
following.: Twenty-two .miles from Mar-
quette, Michigan, on the Garp river, a
beaver colony began the erection of a
new dam.. Thongh the embankment of
a railway ran nearly parallel with the
stream, and trains passed backward and
forward daily, they seemed in no way
disturbed, and worked steadily on until
the water had risen a foot or more. The
traokmaster,; observing that this
endangerd . the line—for the- em-
bankment had been utilized as a wing
of the dam—ordered the water drawn
off. But the following day the beavers
had repaired the damage done them,
and the water was at the former height.
Again and again and again ' was
the dam cut through, and as often
would it be repaired. All in all, it
was cut and repaired some fifteen or
twenty times ere the beavers were suf-
fioiently discouraged to abandon their
attempts.—Popular Science Monthly.

How to Select Cows.
There are many methods by which
experienced farmers and dairymen
judge of the milking qualities of cows,
when it becomes necessary to buy them.
A wedgelike shape of body, rich color
of -skin,, silky touch of hair, size and
prominence of udder and milk veins,
and the like, are- popular tests of a good
milker. $rat there is too much guess
work about these, and good judges are
sometimes deceived. It is not so gen-
erally known as it should be, that a
system known by the. name of its origi-
nator, Francis Guenon, a French hus-
bandman, has come largely into use,
which is based on scientific principles,
and in conjunction with such signs -of a
good milker as are generallyrelied upon
is a well -nth infallible index to the -
milking qualities of;r a cow. On the
hinder parts of all bovine animals, be-
tween the tail and the udder, there is a
space, of greater or less extent, where
the hair instead of growing downward,
lies in the opposite direction. This is
called .the " escutcheon," and in pro-
portion to its size and shape, the cow
is found to be possessed of milking gqual-;
ities.. This, in brief, is the Gaenon
system. It is now nearly half a cen-
tury since it was given to the world in_
a form of a brief treatise, which attract-
ed considerable attention throughout
the European continent, bat has only of
late received much notice in America.
Guenon, in the Dour a of years, greatly.
elaborated his sys eta, dviding the
escutcheons of cows nto tail classes, of
which the first, call d' the ';{Flanders, is
most inflictive of bag F milking tenden-
cies. It is difficult, in the absence of

Flour Made o Wo d.
A dispatch to the Ne'" York an says :
The .chief industry up . ere is: rodpoing
wood flour, a kind 'of .cousin to wood
pulp. It was first maniifactur din the
Catskills aboutnine years ago, and now
over twenty mills are in , fa l blast.
The process-__ is` exceedingly , simple.
Any soft -wood tree—poplar' is the
favorite is felled and drawn i to the
mill. The bark and bows are emoved,
and the trunk put in a machin:: which
is nothing but a lead -pencil' s )iarpener
on a large scale,with four or m.'e knife-
edges instead of one. On starling
Ping; the
machine the pencil -sharpener ' evolves
with great swiftness, and in a • `eve min-
utes converts the log into 100 na iles of
fine, clean shavings. These arground
and bolted exactly as in a flo r mill.
The product is a soft, fie, y 'lowish -
white flour, similar in appeara lee • to a
very well ground corns meal. [ t pos-
sesses a slight woody smell, an is al-
most tasteless. It is pub up i large
bags and then is dispatched, un arked,
to the buyer. -
I tried. to find out whb pnrcha ed the
article, but with no sudoess. T e wood
-wilier was not very ootanounioat ve. «' It '
makes," he said, " well I don't know
how much es aotly. One log m y give
five bags, and it may give ten. t sells
well—that is, pretty tolerable. reck-
on I clear about eight or nine liars a
day out of it—perhaps more. I' never
figured it up. What is it good for ?
Good many things. It's used to stiffen
paper, but if you put in too mu the
paper gets brittle. Paper; stuck is
dearer than poplar flour, and that's
why they put it in. If you mix the
'
flour with linseed gum and 'biles' oil
you can get a kind of oilcloth. Some
folks mix it with meal to give to pigs
and other animals. I guess it's good,
but I never give it to my hogs and
even those fellows give it to some other
fellow's critters and not their own.
Yes, I have heard that some badcon
tractors mixed it with meal for arm±
and. Indian supplies, but I don't/ take
ranch stock in the story, because they
could buy sour mealas cheap as rsoplar
flour. It wouldn't pay to mill cedar o
pine or hemlock ; they are • worth to
much as timber. But any wood tha
isn't used that way can be milled int
flour. Iuse poplar almost altogeth r, bu
when I ran short of logs 1 grid n
buttonball, birch, elm, or willow.'
The farmers dislike the new ind stry,
as it promises to play havoc with • the
forests, which are both an attrtitotion
to the border and a protection to ; agri-
culture. The tanneries years ag used
up nearly all the oak and hemloc ; the
lumbermen have stripped the ca ntry
practically of pine, cedar, ands �v `lnat;
the chair factories' are consn •• ing the
hickory and . maple ; and n • w the
wood -flour mill promises to g ind up
what remaining trees there ma be.
