There were John Quinoy Adams, Caleb Cushing, John Sergeant, Tom Corwin, Millard Fillmore, Jameß K. Polk, Henry A. Wise, Levi Lincoln, Legare, Hunter, Bell, Dawson, Evans and Hoffman in the house, and in the senate Olay, Webster, Preston and Crittenden. The name of the young Mississippian who claimed a seat already awarded by the house to another was almost unknown in Washington, but the incident was unusual and exciting, and on the day set apart for argument the members were generally in their seata and the galleries well filled. He obtained the floor by courtesy of the house, but in his very first declaration outlined his case by asserting: "I have petitioned this house for nothing; neither have I demoralized it. I have presented myself here as a represent ative from the sovereign state of Missis sippi to the congress of the United States, and claim a seat on this floor not as a mat ter of favor, but as a matter of right." Proceeding on the line laid down, he as sumed throughout a speech, protracted Into the third day, that he held a seat upon the floor and was advocating for his state a question submitted to him and his fellow members to adjust. A dozen sen tences were enough to show that a new light had arisen. The news spread, and in a few minutes, and until to the end of his . speech, he had for auditors the flower of the senate, including Clay and Webster, and the elite of the city including jurists, cabinet and military officers, visitors at the capital and the foreign diplomatic corps. The chamber was packed at every session, and except for an occasional ripple of applause the vast audience gave breath* less attention. At the close Webster said of the speech, "Nobody could equal it." Later on Web- Bter said of another speech of Prentisa', "I never heard its equal except from Prentlss himself." Prentiss' career gave ample proof that he was no accident, and was something more than a parrot mouthing classical phrases to tickle idle ears. His local fame was great, and was necessarily well founded. He was an all round man at home, in the backwoods and on the hustings, as well as before an audience of culture. Once in canvassing the state he hud to compete with a menagerie that fol lowed his dates, and finally arranged with the proprietor to travel together and divide the time. When his turn came he mounted the hyena's cage, and under pre tense of using his cane for emphasis

jabbed it through the ventilators and stirred up the beast to the most unearthly howls. Then he -would add, most inad vertently, "Why, fellow citizens, the very wild beasts are shocked at the political baseness and corruption of the times." At one time, while he was absorbed In an argumentative political address, an In trucler forced his way through the crowd toward the platform, holding up in full view a banner inscribed to the opposition candidate, something like this, "Hurrah for Muggins." Prentiss spoke right on and allowed him to come near until every eye in the audience had caught the in scription on the banner; then, proceeding without a change of voice and pointing to the legend, he said, "In short, fellow citi zens, you now have before you the sum and substance of all the arguments of the party—'Hurrah for Muggins!' " Mr. Prentiss had a lively sociable tem perament, and missed none of the excite ments of life in the wild southwest. He acquired an inordinate passion for gam bling, and was drawn into several duelling scrapes. He fought a few times just to prove that he had blood, if he was a Yan kee, and then began to talk against the barbarous practice. While in Washington he talked his friend Henry A. Wise out of a duel with a personal enemy of his own, and did the same in the case of a mutual friend. He was also man enough to take his own medicine. One day Wise met him v —Us he was going into a faro bank, and after expostulating with him in vain fox the habit detained him by force and said, "You have a mother and sisters—are they pro vided for by you?" "Do you take me fou a dog?" said Pren tiss, fumbling with the stout cane that supported his crippled limb. —;"""^Yes, baser than a dog if you give your abundance to the faro bank hells instead of to your mother." Wise's firmness made the tears come. Prentiss' anger melted and he walked away a subdued man. He fought twice with Gen. Foote, once wounding him and once sparing his life. Afterward the two be came warm friends. In his early days Prentiss secured the conviction of two murderers, and ever afterward refused to hunt a man -»wie gallows. In one of the case? iie took his life in hia hand, but drov the wretch to his doom with dl*l^** though eloquent invpf tf wo. c^o murder had been done in cold olood, but the evidence was only cir cumstantial. The criminal was a noted desperado and robber, and was a Hercules in size and strength. When Prentiss arose —still an undersized, boyish looking stu dent—the ruffian scowled upon him with hatred and insolence. Prentiss bore on a little harder and a little harder, kindling with his own rhetoric, and finally let loose • flood of denunciation upon the atrocities laid at the door of the barbarous villain/ Then that strong, defiant face relaxed, his eyes wandered away from the inspired face before him, and he buried ilia head and broke down completely under the ordeal of Prentiss' unflinching courage and mas terly denunciation of sin and crime. The fellow was convicted, and while awaiting sentence begged for interviews with Prentiss, to whom he had taken a liking, and made him his confessor. Among other things, he said that he entered the prisoner's dock at the trial with the greatest confidence, intending during the excite ment of the prosecutor's speech to leap upon Prentiss, kill him, and then dash for liberty. But the bearing and tones of the stapling pleader had completely unmanned him, and ne slunk back cowed and misera ble. Prentiss listened to the cold blooded disclosure with the utmost calmness, and at its close quietly remarked, "My dear fellow, I saw it all and was prepared for yon" Georgb L. Kilmer.
