Prentice as a Fighter.

During his journalistic career Prem.
tice had at least half dozen personal
combats, in some Of which he had very
narrow escapes, and in two or three he
was slightly wounded. He was good
marksman, Gnd what is more, entirely
cool andintrepid in the presence of dan.
ger; so that he had the advantage over
excitable, not to say somewhat timorous
men. A willingness, almost an alacrity,
to fight when put upon, spared him many
conflicts; and he often declared if he had
not shown decided disposition to resent t
insults and to stand by his own words,
that he would have had to wear false
nose, to crafty bis enemies inclination
to pull it. There are men whom it is
safe to assault. Prentice was not one
Of these, and he did not wish to have
it so understood.
He was not in the least considerate of
the feelings or sensibilities of those per-
sons he had reason to dislike. His op.
ponents did not forbear him, nor did he
forbear them. He gave as good as he
had received, usually little better. His
mode OF treating what is named in the
South the private quarrels of gentlemen
may be judged by this, his account OF an
stfray in Lexington, July, 1885, among
several members Of his craft
Mr.. Trotter, without provocation,
attempted to shoot Mr.. Clark in the street;
the parties exchanged shots twice with.
out effect. Mr.. 0'Hara, friend of Mr..
Trotter, made an attack upon Mr.. Bryant,
the associate of Mr.. Clark; Mr.. Bryant
gave Mr.. O'Hara an effectual cudgeling,
aud then laid his cane over the head and
shoulders OF Mg, Trotter till the latter
cried for quarter. There the matter
l'ended-Mr. Clarkretiring to reload his
pistols, Mr.. Bryant 10 procure q new
cane, and Messrs. Trotter and 0'Hara

Trotter George james,, then editor
of the Kentucky Gazette, retorted in his
columns upon Prentice Ia @ yirulent

words: The infamy of Geo. D. Prem.
ties 10 notorious. He is stunned by all
honorable u,e2. The mark Of Cain is on
his brow"
'Prentice's sole reioinder in the Journal
was:
Mr. George James Trotter says that
the mark ct Gain is on our brow. We
don't know about that, but we do know
that the mark Of cane is on his back.
OF course this made Trotter theme
for laughter, aud burning with rage, he
went TO LoaiSVillewith the deliberate in.
tent to shoot Prentice on sight. Discov
ering the chief of the Journal on his way
TO the Office, he pulled his pistol without
notification and fred upon Prentice,
only few feet distant, wounding him in
the brOest Prentice, quick as thought,
le&ped at Trotter, caught him in his
arms, took away his Weapons, threw him
powerless on the ground ana drew a
bowie knife.
Meanwhile a crowd that had gathered
cried out: 'Kill the scoundrel. Kill him
on the spotl"
Prentice simply said: cannot taks
the life of a disarmed and helpless man,
aud releasing his hold put up his knife
and walked away, amid enthusiastic
cheers evoked by bis magnanimity.

Senator Jones at Seance--The
Spirits OutRiIted.

Senator Jones at Seance--The
Spirits OutNiited.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Mrs. c. NJ. Sawyer, a spiritualistic
medium living at Has Mission street, on
Thursday evening last gave a special
seance. At eight o'clock party, con-
sisting Of Senator John P. Jones, of
Nevada; Captain Lees, Of the police;
j. 4. Goodman, formerly editor OF the
Virginia Enterprise; Judge Southard,
d. f. Verdenal and several others,
among them two ladies and Chronicle
reporter, met at the house designated.
The medium was introduced and re-
| quested that a committee Of two gentle
men be appointed to examine the cabi-
| net from which the materialized spirit of
Harry Larkyns was to issue forth.
Senator Jones and Captain Lees were
chosen. At first the key OF the room
behind the cabinet could not be found.
The mysterious cabinet, however, was
upon castors, and a push sent it far
enough back to give ingress TO the com.
mittee. Perfect precautions against
trickery we're taken. The room under
went a thorough search. Delicate cot.
ton thread was drawn around the cabinet
and under and over it. Thread was
tied to the knob of the door opening
upon the hall and fastened to pin stuck
in the wall A small bell was hung upon
the pin, so that upon the slightest move.
ment OF the knob it would fall to the
floor. Pins secured the curtains of the
windows to the frames, and pencil dot
where the pins had been put, thus making
replacement in the dark impossible. AS
final precaution, the door leading into
the parlor, which had been taken of its
hinges, TO make room for the cabinet,
was pushed under the cabinet, effectually
preventing the possibility ol trap door
cheat. The cabinet itself Was measured
inside and out. the assurance of the alb,
sence of the false sides thus being made,
Captain Lees wasted considerable of his
substance in sticking postage stamps
inside the cabinet TO make sure that the
roof, which was discovered 10 be movable,
was not manipulated.
The result of all this care was that the
manifestations were of the stupidest and
most transparent kind. The committee
tied the medium, and after ten minutes
Of silence she was compelled to ask that
the cords might be taken Oft. Then
followed a series OF raps, voices, mate
rialized' hands, ETC., but the whole affair
was so shallow as only to excite ridicule.
After waiting until after IL o'clock to
see something extraordinary the visitors
departed in disgust, the committee not
even taking the trouble to examine the
threads, pins, ETC., which they had so
painstskingly placed.

SCHENCK's PULMoEIc SYRUP. SRA WEED
Tonic, AND MANDRAKE PMLs.-These desery-
edly celebrated and popular medicines have
effected revolution in the healing art, and
proved the fallacy of several maxims which
have for many years Obstructed the progress
Of medical science. The false suppositOn
that Consumption is incurable -. deferred
physicians from attempting TO find remedies
for that disease, and patients afflicted with IL
reconciled themselves to death without
making an effort to escape from doom which
they supposed to be unavoidable. 1t is now
proved, however, that Consumption can be
cured, and that il has been cured in a very
great number OF cases (some Of them appa-
rently desperate ones) by Schenck,s Pulmonie
syrup alone; and in other cases by the same
medicine in connection with Schenek's Sea
Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, one or both,
according to the requirements Of the case.
DR.. Schenck himself. who enjoyed uninter-
rupted good health for more than forty years,
was supposed, at one time to be at the very
gate Of death. his physicians having pro-
nounced his case. hopeless, and abandoned
him to his fate. He was cured by the afore.
said medicine, and, since his recovery, many
thousands similarly affected have used DR..
Schenck's preparations with the same remark

/ saw General Fremont in the lobby
of the House yesterday. He is now old
and bent. His face is deeply chiseled
by the furrowing hand Of time. His eyes
are slightly bleary; cheek bones stood
out as prominent as those of Sioux
chief. Iron gray whiskers, short and
stubby, closely trimmed down from the
base of his jaw bone, grow upon his
thin neck. His dark hair is yet dark
iron.gray, and is worn quite long 1t is
combed well forward, and hangs down
in front Of his ears. A well worn beaver,
set well back on his head; bright
scarlet comforter; a gray tweed light
overcoat, and dark suit of undercloth.
ing made up the general articles Of his
attire. He locks like whimsical, fussy
old man, aud little like the hero Of the
Rocky Mountains, whose pictures during
the Presidential campaign Of 1856 always
represented him with long curls, in the
garb Of Western frontiersman, charging
apace upon a fiery charger, breathing
the smoke and fire Of bloody war. IL is
said that Fremont is trying to get some
allowance from the government for his
past services in the West.
