A BLOODLESS
THE ONE BETWEEN RANDOLPH
AND CLAY.
After Emptying Their Revolvars the
Belligerents Embraced. How the
Great Virginian Made a Friend.
The sanguinary encounter between
Jackson and Dickinson finds a cur-
fous contrast in the picturesque
meeting of Henry Clay and John
Randoiph, of Roanoke. Clay and
Randol were easily the leading
orators of the land, Clay surpassed

with the last rays of the setting sun

given, his pistol, which he held muz-
zle downward, went off. Whereupon
General Jesup, Clay's chief second,
angrily shouted: ''If that occurs
agaio I will take my principal away
from the field.”
*Nay, nay,’
courteously,

Randolph bowed in return. The
pistol was reloaded. The word was
again given. Clay's bullet whistled
through one of the folds of Ran-
dolph’s dressing gown. Randolph
quietly raised his pistol, looked Clay
in the face for a moment and then
fired it above his head. Clay, greatly

The whole country was overjoyed
at the escape of both of these men
from any fatal effects, for Clay was in
the high noon of that glorious popu-
larity which, even though he lost the
Presidency, can never be said to have
reached a sunset, while Randolph,
though not loved, was immensely
admired as an intellectual giant and
a man of rare personal character.
He died seven years later; and just
before this event he was driving
