STEPHENS. there never was man
so frail in body, but so full Of humor as
Alexander H. Stephens. We had to set up
his great speeches before and after the war,
made in the old Capitol of Georgia, and he
always wanted to read his proofsheets, not
with great success either. He was bad
speller and worse proof-reader. After
his famous speech in Milledgeville, just be.
fore secession, he got the writer to bring
him the proof.sheets to his room in The
Milledgeville Hotel. We found him and
his brother Linton alone Mr.. Aleck, had q
cane pipestem in his mouth, the pipe
resting on the water stand, six feet to the
front. AS We entered he politely beckoned
liz to q seat, and invited us to take pipe,
shorter than the one he was putting at.
After few preiimnaries we remarked :
Mr.. Stephens, this is the grandest effort of
your life, but l can't see how you and MIR.
Toombs can be friends, politically, any
longer. would be proud to be able TO
father such a speech as yours; it would
send me to Congress" Said Mr.. Stephens
in reply: Young man, if you want to 20
to Congress learn TO sing some good songs
1t has been my great misfortune to have no
music on my tongue. If could sing songs
like Rack. back Davy, daddy shot bar
shot him in eyeball, never touch har, and
old King Cole aud 'Clar de Kitchen, etc.
etc., could be President of this probable
disrupted nation" We were 80 amused at
the pleasantly of the great man, and so lost
10 business, that we cut off an important
paragraph on the prcof-sheet to light our
pipe, and had to get duplicate.-Er.
