Az ELOQUENT SrEAgER-The late
s, Y Preptlss was, perhaps, one Of the
most eloquent speakers Of his day
The sketch Of his life has just been
published, alludes to q scene at Havre

Wise and Mr.. Men'fee had spoken:
" Prentiss was shouted for, and
came up as be always did, nothing
affecting hlm-like q course1oin per
feet keeping His physi9uc was won

stood on tip-toe, and shouted cheer
after cheer, as if wild with JOY and

sounds, and anon it was tho roar Of
the elements. Figures dubbed up,
