Il wildly recall" continued the
speaker, MIR. Clay's appearance on the
occasion of my calling on him at the
Astor house, which 1 nov think must
have been in the early spring Of 1S48.
When seated he did not look to be the
tall man he was, and appeared less dig
nified. But when he arose to his feet
his full stature was revealed and the
courtliness of his bearing was apparent.
He carried no superfluous flesh on his
frame, and his step was firm and elastic.
He had al unusually high forehead, a
prominent nose, a large and flexible
mouth and a moderate sized chin. He
was clean shaven, and wore his hair,
which was parted in the and almost COW
cred his ears, long. His eyes were ex-
pressive of gentleness and kindness of
heart, united with courage and tirmness.
His voice was round and full and capable
Of wonderful meditation.
His dress was plain and simple-a
black coat and trousers, and q waistcoat
of black silk or satin. Around his throat
was wound a black silk neokerchief, tied
in a large bow knot in front, and partly
supporting the famous shirt collar which
'rose nearly to the tips of his ears. The
Henry Clay collar had a national rep
utation, and all earnest followers OF
Henry of the West adopted it. 1t was
part and parcel of the shirt itself, was OF
most liberal dimensions, and, like the
bosom of the shirt, which was implicated,
was only slightly starched, and as a rule
generally dropped over the neckerchief.
Boots and a silk hat completed his at
tire.-New York Tribune Interview.
