| Full Of energy, enterprise and ialenii
ready, versatile, adaptable. restless; 3
| physician, politician, an author, an edit
or, a lectlrer,a teacher, poet, phil,
anibropist,--Dr. Drake might be fairly
held up5lo The view Of the world as a
model Western man. BY an interesting
pamphlet from the pen Of DR.. Gross,
published at The office Of the Louisville
Journal, we are enabled to give such an
outline Of his career as will Justify the
remark we have just made. \ DR.. Drake
was born at Piainfield, New Jersey, in
l7S5, Of "poor but honest" parents. Al
the age of Two years and half, he was
taken by his father by Mays Lick, in
Kenlucky-a State then in It's infancy.
AT Mays Lick he spent The first fifteen
years Of his life, working upon bis fathers
farm in summer, and attending the dis
trict schoul in winter. At the age Of
sixteen, he was sell, by his father 10
Cincinnati, entered as private pupil
with Dr.. Goworih, in whose Office he
remained for four. years, He was an
attentive and diligeut student, and re-
ceived from his precepor very fttering
certificate; which, in those days, was a
sufficient license 10 practise, and upon
tho sanction Of which he did practise for
eleven years. Ia 1904, he formed
partnership with DR.. Goworlb. Next
year, he undertook tedious and expen.
sive journey to Philadelphia, 10 hear the
medical lectures Of Dr.. Rush and other
great lights in she world of medicine.
Upon his return from Philadelphia, he
prac,sed year in Kentucky; then
removed once more 10 Cincinnati. where,
in 1907, he was married. 10 1915, he
again attended lectures in Philadelphia,
and was soon after appointed 10 pros
fessorship in The medical department Of
the Trausylvania University, at Licking.
ton. About This time, he published bis
FIRST work, entitled, "a Picture Of Gin.
In 1919, Dr.. Drake founded,
At Cincinnati, the Medical College of
Ohio, himself taking the chair Of medi.
cine. This institution proving failure,
he once moro attached himself to the
Of Transylvanla, where lie
-emained for four years, when he again
emoved 10 Cincinnati. He continued
% rove from school TO school during the
greater par, OF his life. Besides his
usual labors, he was the founder Of the
Eye Inftmary, and The leading
Of The Kentucky Asylum for
he Blind. He was frequent lecturer
Ipon temperance: occasionally, poliji>
;al pampbIeteer; long The editor Of a
nedica magazne; the aulhortof several
medical works; and leading
nan in charitable institutions. Tie last
years Of his life were devoted TO the
of a work upon the "Dis
eases of the Interior Valley Of North
America" which, unhapply, he did no,
i've 10 complete. He died in November,
1852, in The six'y-seyenlh year Of his
ege, highly respected by his own pro-
iessian, and by the people Of the great

MoRNINs CALLS IN TUNIs.-Lady E.
S. Wor,ley, in her description Of Tunis,
says: "People pay visits at Tuns in
rather curious way, generally. On
ordinary occasions you go, mol exactly
dpwn your friends chimneys, bu, some :
thing very like i. Yuu walk from roof
to roof, and make descent where you
will down steep llile, staircase, COM
municniing with small door in The
lerracesroof; as there is neither knocke,
nor bell provided, the Disitse has no
chance of saying, mo. dt home and
occasionally this must be liresome and
nconVenient; indeed, one Of my Tunis
friends told me she often found il un-
pleesin, when engaged in the various
Indispensable avocations connected with
a well>managed household. AS for Us.
we had very agreeable walk on the
roofs, which are beautifully paved with
broad stones, and often decorated with
little avenues Of orangee'rees, beds, and
parterres Of flowers, and clusters of all
kinds Of sweet towering planls--ihe
,orange-trees aiiording delightful shade
in the heat of the day, and the hower>
beds the most odorilerous breathings
After we had thus prononaded for some
time, we met the daughter of the Amer>
ican consul, who, like ourselves, was
taking an agreeable little prowl. She
invited us TO come down tile chimney, or
through the i.ap>door, and see her falher
aud mother, which We had much pleasure
in doing. The American consul's lady
told me il was so long since she had
been in the United Staies, that she had
almost forgotten her own native place
After spending a short time with Dr..
Heaps amiable family, we ascended
once more to the roof, and again pros
c-edsd 10 pay a visit TO Mrs Ferrier.
One could not help, however, feeling a
little Paal Pry>ish, thus continually and
almost literally dfopping in; hut we were
soon quite reconciled to these slight
peculafi;ies Of yTunisian custom" a9s
