ONE OF THE NATION'S LEADING THINKERS, Interesting Personal Rem of a Former Minister to Russia ~Hale and Hearty at Eighty-Two, Riciyoxn, Ky., Sept. 0. —[Special Corro- spondence of Tnx Ber)—Within six miles of this town, in the richest of the famed blue crass region of Kentucky, lives one of the most interesting characters in Awerican his- tory. General Cassius M. Clay, the abolitionist of the slavoholders of the south, & prominent candidate for vice president at the time that Hamlin was nominated, our minister to Russia during tho administration of Abraham Lincoln, and for the past fifty vears one of the leading thinkers of the coun- try, he is today, at 82, almost as strong intel- lectually and physically as he was when he made his first abolition speech as a student in Yale college nearly sixty years ago. His four score years have not diminished his courage, and his arm is as ready o strike in bis own defense today as it ha been in the many deadly enconnters of his past, wherein, in self-defense, hie has used the pistol and the knifein support of his doctrines and has fought to the death. There is no braver man in the United States thau Cassius M. Clay, and I doubt whethier thers is a gontler or moro cultured onc. [ have spent sevoral days with him on his estate, known as White Hall, and have had hours of chatty convers tion with him about the great men he known, and as to somo of the most stirr incidents of his eventful life. General Clay at White Hall, Cassius M. Clay was perhaps the richest young man 1n the south. His father had vast tructs of land, and he left him 2,200 acres of tho very best Kentucky blue grass. White ball is one of the finest mausions of the south, General Clay was born upon the spot on which he now lives, and his father’s house cost §0,000, and General Clay has added such improvements to it as to make it cost 30,000 more. 1t is a great rea brick of three stor of nearly an hundred feet front, and almost the same depth. It stands on a knoll, and a rich rolling country of forest and lawn slopes out on every side of it. A wide hall is entered through a big frout door, and as you 80 in you see in niches on_either side of you busts of Henry Clay and Horace Greeley. The bust of Greoley was taken when he was a young man and it was mado 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. Tho hall is so large that you could turn & wagon load of hay about 1n it without touching the walls. Itis furnished with sofas and chairs, nono of which are less than an hundred years old, and upou its walls hang works of art by famous European painters, Gort- schakoff and the empress of Russia look down upon you from the left as you enter, and on the right you see a magnificent paint- ing by the Landscer of Russia of the Czar Alexander IL, ridiug in a sleigh. To tho right of this hall are the parlors. Their ceilings, like that of the hall, are at loast twenty feet high, and they are luxuriously furnished and have many beaunful paintings. To the left of the hall is tho geaeral's library, consistiug of two large rooms, and back of this is the dining room. The second floor is of the same generous dimensions, and mv bedroom had ceilings fifteen feet high. and iv was, 1 judge, twenty-five feet saquare, Shortly atter I'was shown tomy room a plate of the most luscious grapes was sent up and General Clay has, perhaps, the finest frmit in Kentucky. Ho is famed for his_watermelons, and on the inside of the hall rear the door, I noted at least a score of great melons, some of which were four faot long and about cighteen inches in diamoter. I four.d them us sweet as they looked, and General Clay discussed tho fruit as we ate them together. “The best melons,” 'sald he, one day as we were gettine away with oue about the size of & waste paper basket, *never getinto tho market. They have thin and brittly rinds and they are sure to break in shipping. Yon note that this melon has whito seeds, and still it 1s as ripoas it can be. 1 find that the seeds of melons change with cultivation and the seeds of this stock were black when I began to cultivate them a few years ago, but they have changed from year'to year until they are now as white as snow.”” During our meals—we ate as a rule alone, for the general keeps bachelor's hall— he discussed gastronomy and the laws of health, and told me he attributed his lougey- ity to temperance in_eating, and tirat ho al ways got up from the tubie hungry. Ho preferred vegotables to meats, and though the table was loaded down with'good things, he took but litle. He proudly said that overything on his table with the exception of the pepper, the salt and the coffee had been raised by him on bis farm, and that he felt happy in being inde- pondent. At oe time during my stay he talked of farming and said that” he found the raising of Southdown sheep and export cattlo the most profitable, and I sm told that ho las the finest sheep in the United States. Within the past few years General Clay has divided up & large port of his Kentucky lanas and has given them to his sons. Ho still holds, howover, 350 acres aoout his home, and the working of this is his business and amusoment, Lincoln and Seward. Ouo evening during my stay I asked Mr. Clay who was the greatest mas he had ever Imown, Horepliod: *I believo that Abra- ham Lincoln was the greatest man this coun- try has ever producad. As a diplomat ho was groator than all his diplomats. As gereral he was superior to any general in the army, and as a statesman he far outranked his cabinot. Ho was clogged i his adminis- tration by his cabinet, and ho had some bad elements about im. Take Seward for in stance. He was not in sympatny with Lin- coln. He was & man of no priuciple and was always working for himself and stealing from the presidency, I knew Seward very well before tho_convention of 1860, and 1 called on him at Washington. lie was then very anxious to be president and he showed mo u paver bo had written in which he an- nounced that ho was for the union, slave ur free. That killed him with me, and 1 then decided I would havo nothing to do with his canaidacy. Ho know that I wont against him and he became my onemy, and we wero enemies till the day of his death. He was scoretary of state while I was in Russia, and he heaped many petty insults upon me. I tirst met Lincoln before ho was elected to congress, It was durng a lecture that I gave at Springtleld, and Lincoln was sitting whittling in the back part of the crowd. I became well acquainted with him later on, aud when he was nomi- nated I was leading candidate for vice-presi- deut, but I did no# go to the convention nor make any effort to bave wy friends nominate me, and Hamlin was ohosen, Prosident Lin- coln wrote mo shortly after this that he iutonded to appoint, mo secretury of war, 1 bad served in tho Mexican war and had some military training.. 1 would have accepted the position, and | remaiued in Kentucky, at my homo here, waiting for Lincoln to fultil his promise. At last ono day I received a letter telling mo I had been made minister to Spain. 1did not want the Spanish mission and I started at once to Washington to see about it.” How a Russian Minister Was pointed. “I went to the white house as soon as I got to Washington,” continued General Clay, “and 1 found the presidet in the library. Ho received we ploasantly and I told nim at once that I could not take the mission to Spain. Said I: ‘I don't want to go to any of tho effolo monarchies of Europe. 1 have sérved all my life for my party, ana 1 have never asked for an office. - 1 had thought that I might take one as a sort of a vindication of my priuciples, but since you have so many better men than myself, I think I had better #0 back lo Kentucky aud retire to private Ay life.! [ up to this time, here got up aud put his hand iscences | first | Lincoln, who hiad been rather reserved on my shoulder and saia: ‘I don’t want you to o home, Mr. Clay. I want todo some- thing for you, but 1 am so hedged around here that [ ean't do just what I will. Isn't there some place you will take!” *Well,’ said I, ‘you have made nup your cabinet. How about the missions to France and Eugland ! President Lincoln then said that these had been promised to Adams and Dayton, and that he didn’t see how he could lot me have either of thew. ‘Well,' said I, ‘that settles it.' There is no other place want. 1 will go back to Kentucky.’ " Presi- dent Lincoln urged me not to go. He saud, ‘Stay a fow days, Mr. Clay, and 1 will see what can be done.’ This was'in the morning. That evening I dined with Sanford, who hud just been made minister to_Belgium. Whilo we were at dinner the waiter came and told me that Senator Baker of Oregon wanted me 10 step out into the ball for a moment. I had known Baker very well in the Mexican war, He was a noble fellow, 1 lert the taole and went out. He said, “Tho president has sent me to see you. Ho nas been considering your caso and ko wants to do_something to viease you. He wants o know if something else oxcept London or Paris will not be accopta- blo 1o you. Why don’t yon take the Russian i Russia is a great country, and it important element in the coming It is ono of the greatest courts of Europe, and if I were you I would tuke it. “Well," continued General Clay, I just had a good dinver, and Baker was my friend, and I finally told him that I would take the Russian mission and that he might go and tell tho president that I would accept it if he would appoint me, or if he would wait_ until dinner was over I would go with him. ‘Wait for tne dinner,’ said ho. °Hang the dinner. Let's go to the white house now, 1 have a cab here and I tell you the president is wait- ing.’ ‘Al right,’ said I, and with that I nt with him to the white house. ssident Lincoln was sitting in his oftice, His legs were strotched out. His head was resting on his hand and he, was ia deep thought. As wo camo in, Baker said: “M President, ‘Clay will take the Russian ms- sion.’ " Lincoln sprang to his feet and shook me by both hands and said: “Clay, [ thank you. You reliove mo of great embarruss- ments.” Ana so I went to Russi The Experiences of a Diplomat. “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 mystay there. It was through me that Alaska was secured to the United States,and I carried on all the proliminary newotiations. The question came up first_through the pro- ject for building a telegraph line through Si- beria across the Bohring Straits. An Amer can traveler named Perry McD. Coliins had gone across Siberta and he had interested Mr. Sibly, the prosident of the Western Union Telograph, in the scheme for building & telegraph line from America across Behring straits to St. Petersburg. Sibley attempted to get a charter for _bis line through me, and I got one which would have made the fortanes of tho company had they not spoiled the job at Washington through our secretary of stute, Seward, prossing the infamous Perkins claim. In my charter we had a clauso which pro- vided that every telegram from Siberia to St. Petersburg should pay to the Americaa com- pany a rebate of ono-half of the price of the telegram. This 1 got out of friondships at St. Potersburg, and I had interested two of tho grand dukes of Russin to take stock 1 the company. Then Sew- ard pressed the Perkins claim. It was an ontrageous stoal and Seward knew it. He commauded me to press it and 1 _handed his Jetter to Prince Gortchacow. Gortcha- cow read and spoke English as well as I do, fie looked over tho lotter and then slapped it down on the table and emphatically said: “We will go to war before we will pay o sin- glo red kopeck of it.” From this time on ho was angry with Seward, and he refused to givo auy concessions in favor of the tolograph line. He 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 line under other conditions, ana through this came about the negotiations which gave us Alaska.' “What do you think of Gieorge Kennan's articles on Kussia ¢’ said L. “I don’t think much of them,” said Gen- eral Clay. “I don’t think the man is acting like u gentleman. Ho accepted their hospi- talities and ho 15 now misconstruing and misrepesenting thom. 1 don't believe there are any greater cruelties committed in the Russian prisons than theroare in the Amer- ican prisons. We have lutely had an investi- gation here in Kentucky and the testimony gocs to show that our prisoners were fed on bad meat. The wardeu complained,of it and he was discharged, and we let out our prisoners %0 the same people who have oppressed them, Russia is a great country and the United States owes u great deal to Russia. They were our friends during the late war, and I can tell you we needed friends then. Tho English wero as strong for the south as wero tho people of South Carolina, _Germany and France both wanted to soe us fail. They all supported the south in _an_ under- hand way and had it not been for their fear of Russia, they would have supported it openly. Ienjoyed my stay at St. Peters- burg. I was on olose’ terms with the czar, and T knew Prince Gortchucow intimately. Ho was one of the greatest men of Europe and ho was practically the governor of Russia. He was the equal of Bismarck or Disraely, and he was a mau of equal culture with either of them.” Stories of Henry Clay. Cassius M. Clay was a cousin of Henry Clay. Lexington is not more than an hour's ride from Richmond, and General Clay know bis great relative woll. Ho says that Clay would have mado a great general, and ne says that tho similarity in all respects be- tween Clay and Jackson was striking. They had hands very much alike, and they were intellectually 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 ELimself in the army, and the only man in the past whom I can compare with Clay and Jackson is Julius Cicsar. All three possessed grest moral courage, all were statesmen, and Clay would have made, I think, an equally good general with Jackson or Ca'sar, Clay had remark- ablo physical courage. They tell a story of him 10 Lexington during his early law prac- tice there. Ho was a tall, gaunt young fel- low of 21 or 22 years of age when 'he Imag- ined himself wsulted by n man who was ten or fifteen years older than ho was and who was very much stronger. Clay attempted to fight the man aud ~ the man knocked him down. Now it was the cus- tom in thoso aays for the under man, when he found he could not succced against his adver: to cry “enough,” and the man then got' off him. Clay would not cry “enough,” and the crowd, thinking he would vo killed, pulled the man off. No sooner had Clay gotten to his feet then he went at tho 1 again and ho was again knocked down d poundea. The man was pulied off and Clay again attacked him, and finally in order to save Clay from being killed his friends took his opponentinto a_store and kept Clay on the outside for fear he should fight bum- solf to death. Clay bad & number of duels and he had a good military mind. Clay and Webster. “How did he comparo with Websters” I asked. “Henry Clay was an entirely different man from Webster,” replied Cassius M. Clay. \Webster was a great man intellectually,but he hiad none of tho natural quickness of Clay, and I don't think he had as greata soul as Clay had. He was not & man of great per- sonal magnetism, and I don’t think bis moral character was as good s that of Clay's. I first mot him when I was a boy on_my way to college, and 1 was greatly impressed with lim then, aud he wus Clay's superior in edu- cation and in generalization. Clay was par- ticular about money matters. ~Webster was perpetually borrowing from his friends and heleft awill full of bequests which his frionds wero to pay. I don't think any one who over knew Heory Clay failed to~ like uim. Ho wasa friend of mine, and he was my lawyer in_the suit which was brought against’ mo for carving up the uolorious bully, S, M.

SHRINES ALONG T’HE\ PUBLIC HIGHWAYS, In the Heart of the Alps in Mid- summer — Where Peace and Quietiddd May be "#ofina. yat INNsnRUCK, Tyrol, Aug. 23.—[Special Correspondence of Tue Ber,]—It s to Tyrol that ono turns with eager anticipations for that tranquility and completo repose not to be found 1n cities, After a short time one wenries of thatnoiso, that hurry, and that busy trafic whict makes up city life, and & lpnging comes over one for the country and its quiet charms, Once hore, wo find our longings atan end; a restful quict greets us, and we welcome it as & friend. The air comes crisp and cool from glaciers and snow Alp; the groen of the piue forests rests our eyes, after tho blinding brightness of the city; the delicate perfume of the pine is wafted tous by the mountain breczos and wedrink a refreshing draught at tho primi- tive fountain, fed by the spring which bub- bles up at ourgect. At Peace With All the World. Our chalet among the mountains delights us with its completo simplicity, its cleanliness and rustic appoinuments, The floors are of plain pine wood and uncarpeted. Our rooms would scarcely satisfy the fashionable belle in a city, yet here they scem to be a he place and entirely in keeping with tho surroundings. The walls are covered with a gay colored paper in which birds and flowers appear Lo be at war with one auother, From o hasty glance I should 1magine the latter to behaving the vetter part of it. There are five windows hung with long chintz cur- tains, while the few pioces of furniture which are scattered about the big room are covored with a bright red, flowered cre- tonne. In the corner stauds a large whito porcelain stove, without which no house is considerea complete, for lires one must have in winter, aud open fires are unknown in Tyrol. Theso stoves are often ovecloaded with decoration, being the chief ornament of a room, the lavorately carved or vainted ties, are often quite a study, entire scenes, usually biblical in character, being worked out upon them. Over the beds bung severa| crude colored prints, in black wooden frames, showing Christ and the holy mother with the apostles, engraged in various scriptural pursuits. These wall embellishments aro 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 clothies, which stands at an un- certain angle, making one hesitate to ap- proach 100 near it for fear of being crushed to death i & mass of debris. In the Heart of the Alps. With all this simplicity, everything is so clean and temptig that T would not ex- change my room here for ono in Paris, with frescoed ceiling and tapestried walls. Tho views from the green covered verandahs aro charming. Looking down from a height of 400 feet, we seo Innsbruck with its numerous bell towers and quaint gabled houses; the glacier fed river ina, traversed . by stone bridges; the stately Albs, in the background, forming an almost complete circle uround tho town ; each high platean with its schloss or red roofed church; country ropds winding in and out among the hills and valleys, To the left Lies Hall, with its tall, pictur- esque tower; the white walls of its ancient cloister gleaming in the sun. Among the sombro tints of the Piuo woods, stauds the castle of Ambras; ahd still beyond,the Mittel- geberge, covered with meadows and forests and pretty dorfs. In Memory of Calvary, The walks about the country are many, the roads well kept, and tho pensants one meets polite and ofton chivalrous in their beariug toward strangers. Ready, always, to whatever information they may have to ive, and generous, to an Amusing extent, with the contents of their snuff box. Shriues abound overywhere, usually built as a chapel, with the lifeless Christ done in wood or wax. Some of these are very real- istic. Looking in at the iron grated door, the im- prossion one receives is that of life, and in the darkened tones of the chapel we seem to be looking upon real physical suffering, These calvaries arc to be met with on all the country roads. They are carofully looked after by the peasants. There is frequently a dim_wax taper burtiing upon the altar, or a small olive oil lamp, sheddiug its uncertain light upon the inanimate body within; whi.o a bunch of Alpine rosen is thrust between tho buars, and a cluster of wild fern leaves, placed theré by tho faithful. Away from home theso shrines appeal to one in a peculiarly intense mauncr. They staud isolated and alone upon the most censpicuous point of an Alp or dengerous ravine, and far removed from human habitation, they seem as mes- sengers of peace. The Patois of the People. The people in the country sveak no lan- guago but their own, and that is but a cor- ruption of the Austrian-German, n patois, which is far from being harmonious or pleas- ant o the ear. To get away from the beaton roads of the summer touvist, and penetrate boautiful parts of ~Tyrol, some knowledge of German is absolutely' neces- sary. One then finds himself away from the paiatial_ hotel and its much informed porticr, and waiters, who put many of us to shame with their almost perfect knowledge of Eunglish. while wo know so imparfectly their language. We must now turn our atiention t0 nouns and verbs, and try to recall to mind our Ollendorf, to' muke kuowu our wants. The juns are simple and unpretentious. Tho landlords are polite; the rooms scrupulously clean; the food cooked a I'Allemande. The people are honest and have mnot yot learnea to be extortionato in their domands upon the traveler's purse. The iuns are usually two stories high—thelodgings abov the restaurant, which serves also for dining and swoking room, below. For tho traveler, bo ho a Croesus, must dine and sup with the usual frequenters of such inns. The taps aro running ull day,and all night, as_well, for beer is the ouly drink one can obtain here, unless 1t be an inferior quality of wine, or & weak kirschwassor. I doubt if_one could find a bottle of brandy or whisky in any one of these villages. I give tnis tip to my fellow travelers, 1. e.: fill your flusk and kisep it well corked when you start on une of ygur longtramps in Tvrol. Tt will become precigiis ws you penetratd into the mountains, As to Food, ono has littlo choice. §he meats arefusually veal or sausage, sametunes the chamois, when the hunters bringiin their bag.
