perched in the tree tops, and to whom
Prentiss jocularly remarked: "Boys,
you'd better come down. General Foote
shoots wild, you know" As the an
tagonists faced each other Prentiss
smiled, tossed away his cane, and ele-
waited his weapon. The word to fire
was given. Foote fired first, his bullet
striking the ground near the feet of
Prentiss, who neither blanched nor
quivered. Pulling the trigger of his
own weapon, the percussion cap failed
to explode. The Moloch of honor
was not satisfied. The parties again
took their stand and Prentiss was un-
scathed, but Foote fell with serious
wound. Several years afterwards
they reconciled and became fast
friends.
Prentlss was slanch supporter of
Henry Clay in his three races for the
presidency, and ii was during these
memorable campaigns that he attained
to the zenith of his fame rs an orator.
He spoke to multitudes throughout the
North and South, and, more than any
thing else, his marvellous zertions on
the platform during this twelve year
period caused the disease that resulted in
his death. Once, in reply to the question
OF friend as to how he treasured uD
so many beautiful figures of speech, he
said: "I'll tell you how it is, Win.
chester. When get to speaking and
become excited, am like little boy
running through the meadow, when
he sees beautiful butterfly, with It's
gauzy wings of gold, and starts In
pursuit, eager to capture the glittcriug
prize. Then come more butterflies,
until the whole sky is filed with bril-
liant colors, every new one brighter
than the other. So it is with me
every fancy stats new one, till in
the pursuit my whole mind is filled
with beautiful butt critics."
In lS43 Henry Clay paid visit to
the South in the interest Of his can
didacy for president. He was gwen
public reception at Vicksburg and
Prcntiss introduced HIM in the follow
ing language:
Your philanthropy has embraced
in its benevolent grasp the scause of
human happiness throughout the
world; your eloquent breath famed the
fame of liberty as it burst forth stimuli
taneously in two continents. Along
The classic shores of Greece the votary
Df freedom.

escaped his observation and all things
were made subacrvient to the calls of
his eloQuence.
"As some vast river of unfa'ling source,
Rapid, exhaustive, deep, his language
flowed,
And opened new fountains in the hum an
heart.
Where Fancy halted, weary in her flight.
In other men, his, fresh as morning, rose
And scared untrodden height and seemed
at home
Where angels bashful looked
Standing at the grave of Prentiss
and remembering how in one of his
speeches he had depicted fit resting
place for Lafayette, the visitor uncon-
sclously calls to mind how prophetl-
cally he had described his own: "Let
no cunning sculptor, no monumental
marble deface with its mock dignity
the PATRIOTS grave, but rather let the
unpruned vine, the wild noSer and
the free song of the uncaged bird, all
that speaks of freedom and of peace,
be gathered about it,"
