some of it dead and other senses so keen
and intuiuve, puzzles me. Her shriv-
eled extremities might naturally be
traced to paralysis consequent upon a
broken or injured spine; but her tenac-
ity of life for IA years. utterly without
sustenance enough to feed a baby for
week, appeals strong ly to my unwilling
belief in supernatural visitations."
MARVELLOUS INTUITION.
"You speak of her intuition" said
the reporter, chow is it manifested?"
"Haven't you heard? Why, it's the
most wonderful part of the story. DR..
Spier received note from her (hrough
her aunt) some years since informing
him that she (Miss Fansher) had pre-
sentiment of a robbery which would hap
pen to the Doctor. Sure enough, DR..
Spier lost case of instruments the next
day; they were stolen out of his house.
When she revivcs from state OF trance
she can tell the time of day without
looking at a time-piece or by simply
moving her fnger-tip across the crystal
of watch. She had told ME lots of
things about myself that | supposed no
one knew. This might be from infer
ence or analogy, but | rather think that
her faculties have become so sharp and
keen from suffering that minding read
ing, if there be such thing, is familiar
to her,"
The Herald representative, in COM
pany with others, learned from conver-
satiOns with friends of the afflicted and
those whose testimonyis above reproach,
that the following extraordinary feats
are accomplished by Miss Fansher as
matters of everyday occurrence: De-
scribing persons at the door before en-
tering the house; telling, five minutes
beforehand, when the alarm bell
or clock of the City Hall is to
strike Occasional errors, however) :;
working embroidery and wax flowers
of real artistic merit; asking for prep
aration of the room to receive ladies
whom she "feels" are going to visit
her; telling the color of articles
held behind her head after being al
lowed to touch them, and other equally
wonderful perceptions.
No amount of medical treatment, it is
feared, will have any effect upon the pa
tient. Her nerves are thoroughly par
alyzed, and no sensation can be COM
municated through them. The pros
pect of death, usually so terrifying to
nerve-stricken invalids, is consoling to
this unfortunate but cheerful person.
The writer has the cards of three gen.
tlemen of prominence in Brooklyn who
will vouch for the accuracy of the story
detailed above.

s. s, PREMISES LAST DUEL.

"reminiscences of the Great Orator-A Law
Case the Origin of the Duel-Challenged
by a Grandson of Henry Clay-The Lat
ter's Tragic End.
Seargent S. Prentiss had won a
worldwide reputation in Mississippi as
an orator and lawyer. His two duels
with Gov. Henry S. Foote in 1888, in
which he was both times challenged, land
each time wounded his adversary, had
established his reputation for courage.
The witchery of his eloquence surpass-
ed any living orator of his times, or, in
deed, any that had preceded him, from
Patrick Henry down to the present day.
He first came to Natchez, Miss, in
1927, and was employed as tutor in the
private family of the widow of the late
Judge Shields, of the Supreme Court of
that State, and availed himself OF the
fine library of that noted jurist. AL
though native of the State of Maine,
Prentiss had none Of the prejudices of
his people, and readily adapted himself
to Southern customs and institutions.
In 1929 he was admitted to the bar, and
formed law partnership with Gen. Fe-
lix Huston at Natchez. In 1881 he re-
moved to Vicksburg, but frequently Wis
tied his old home in Natchez. The
writer first met with Mr.. Prentiss at
Natchez after his wonderful defense of
DR.. Wilkinson, of Mississippi, in 1889,
for the killing of Rothwell and Meeks
in the celebrated tragedy at the Gait
House in Louisville, Ky, on which oc-
casion he was associated with the dis
tinguished Judge John Rowan.
His argument on that occasion was
considered his great masterpiece of
forensic eloquence, and which resulted
in the acquittal of DR.. Wilkinson, al
though the best talent of the State of
Kentucky was employed for the prose-
cution. His repartee, sprightliness of
wit and withering sarcasm were unsur-
passed. The result of his power lay in
his wonderful application and adapta-
ton of classical, historical and poeti-
cal quotations with which he adorned
and illustrated his speeches and argu-
ments.
Mr.. Prentiss was small in stature, not
being over five feet eight inches in
heig hit, and was deformed by his right
foot being smaller than the left one, and
which turned under, so that he used a
cane in walking. He had a massive
cliff forehead, large blue eyes, hand
some features, with remarkably intel
lectual expression, in which nobleness,
daring and magnanimity were singu-
larly combined. He had very slight
lisp, which gave to certain words
Kissing sound, and the expression of his
features gave great force to- his Ian
guage. In those days there were more
wealth, aristocracy and cultivated re-
fnement within a circumference of 20
miles around Natchez than in any other
portion of the States. During the time
Prentiss was teaching in the family of
Mrs. Shields he was invited to neigh
borhood party, and, being total
stranger, and at that time extremely
sensitive as to his deformity, he felt
himself neglected and looked down up
on by the aristocratic planters and fair
ladies, and unjustly attributed the cause
to his being a poor, lame school-master.
From that time he secluded himself
from all society and wholly devoted
himself to his books and studies, hav-
