At first bis kicking was ■omthing terrible, but he subsided entirely when the hay returned toward his hoels every time.

A Baltimore Barber wbo Khavrd tbs States man sail Itefnsed to Take ray tor It. A Baltimore correspondent writes: Thus. Harvey b the name of a colored man wbo keeps a tonsorial bazaar in close proximity to the union depot Harvey has been be guiling an unsuspecting world for some thirty years with his magic dry shampoos, his Oriental capillary lotions and hb learned disquisitions on polities, police, poetry and pills. The music of his good, broadsword razor has been heard in our leading hotels since the days of Andy Jackson. ‘■Yes, sir, that is n moustas fine picture of Mr. Clay,” he said, pointing to a very old chromo of the great Kentucky com moner iudosed in a small frame and sus pended on tho wall of his shop. "How do you know it's a good picture?" asked the reportorial visitor, whoso faint similitude of a beard was being gently mowed down by the keen Sheffield blade. "'Cause I ought to know," replied Harvey, with a proud smile. 'I shaved Mr. Clay the last time he was in Ualtimou-, and a barber who shaves a great mau like him is not apt to forget how he looks. Yes, sir, it b the beat picture I ever saw. “I’ll tell you how it was,” lie continued. "It was in January, 1860, when Mr. Clay made his last visit to Baltimore. I was u young man then and was working in the bnrber-sbop under thoold Fountain Hotel — now the Carrollton. The b.iBs he comes to me and he says, says he: 'Charlie, you go up to 1'rof. Smith's h-.useon Saratoga street and shave a man; and you do a good job, because it's Mr. Henry Clay.' So I took my best tools and went to 1'rof. Smith's. Henry Clay always stopped nt Prof. Smith’s house when he enme to Baltimore. Ho was then in the second-story front room, wait ing for the barber. When I got to tbe door Mr. Clay was B-readin’ a paper, and looked np nnd said; 'Come iu here, yon black scoundrel, and get to work ou dis 'ere face.’ But ho was mighty pleusant, and that was only his way of talking, nnd I tell yon I made a good job of it, for I was irond to shave Mr. Clay. There was a hree days’ growth of beard, but it was not thick. Mr. Clay's beafd was thin. Ho had one of the biggest faces I ever shaved, and his upper lip was monstus large. When I was n-shavm’ that lip I bad for to cotch hold of bis nose. Mr. Clay laughed and said: 'Look here, you nigger, dars mighty few men I would allow to pull my nose in dat way.' When I got through Mr. Clay asked me what he owed me. ‘Not a cent,' said f, ‘for the honor of shaving Mr. Henry Clay is enough pay for me.' Oh! take this half dollar,’ ho said, banding me a 50-cent piece. But I refused again, when Mr, Clay laughed and said: ‘Ohlit's no honor to shave me; I'm only clay, after all; I was made of clay, by clay, and I will return to clny just like other people,' But I refused to take a cent, and went away. When I went back to the shop my boss said; 'Where’s de money fur tie shave?' And when I told him that I would not take any pay he was pretty mad about it. ‘Yon ought to have brought back at least halt a dollar for shaving a man like Clay,' he said. Ho said he would bike 60 cents out of my pay, nnd I told him i would he glad if he ould, anil he did.” TURBULENT TYBKE. ■ —— I thieves gav< Dripertto Kncoun «*r Hetwern the Police ^|- — snde Party of Thieves. | you'll promise not to shoot us I In the meantime, the ammunition of tk.
