He has a contract to carry the United

Interview Between Tho Famons Acitator
And Editor.
One afternoon about twenty-two or
three years ago, a debonnaire young
gentleman wBlked into the editorial
rooms of the old Louisville Journal
and asked to see Mr. Prentice. He
was clad in a handsome blue broad
cloth coat of the swallow tail style,
with smooth and guttering brass bat.
tons. His trousers were of black doe
skin, his shoes shiny, patent leather,
his vest of some heavy buff material
over which his coat was buttoned so
that it doubled in front, showing an
inch or two below the front of the
coat; and in his hand he carried a rich
looking soft hat. His hair was black,
wavy and plentiful, and bisnpper lip
was covered with a luxuriant and
well kept mustache. Altogether
there was an air ot elegant negligence
about him. Tho man was over the
medium height and build, and pre
sented a card which bore the words;
"George Francis Tnan, Civis Amen-
canns Sum."
Being then Mr. Pentice s amanuen
sis and private secretary, I presented
Mr. Tram to tho immortal George D.,
wit, poet and editor. Train seemed
to be a little staggered. I presume
he expeoted to see a large, imposing
nnu severe man, ana he behelu a
lean and slippered pantaloon.'' Mr.
Prentice wa3 peculiarly a slouchy
man then in his dress, and altogether
careless of his personal appearance.
Indeed I believo ho never had been
"dressy " His hair, which had once
been jet black, fell on his shoulders
and even about his cheeks, well mixed
with gray, and his whitening beard,
which was also very long, and which
covered nearly all of his face except
tho nose, eyes and forehead, was tied
np as close as possible with a cotton
twine, and his ears wero staffed with
cotton. Tobacco juice stained his
vest, and ho had a habit ot using his
fingers for n paste brush and of
wiping them on his pantaloons. He
had taken off his long, black frock
coat nnd replaced it with a brown,
somewhat ragged and altogether dis
reputable looking old yarn pea jacket,
or what was commonly called in Ken
tucky a "warmns." On. the table
near him stood his hat. This was a
slouch with a tall crown, aud it an
swered tho place of pockets in his
clothes, which sort of receptacles he
never used. Ho carried in his hat
everything that other men carry in
their pockets, and more too. Being
unable to write more than a word or
two at a time with his own hand, ho
would with both of his trembling.
writer's palsy stricken hands,
make out to scratch memoranda of
such things as ho desired to consider
upon tho margins of newspapers, nnd
these little bits ho wonld throw into
his hat for f nture reference. He nsu-
ally had the old felt hat about hnlf
full of them. He also carried his
packet knife, pencils, scissors, koys,
etc., in tno nar, ana J. have orten seen
him, absent mindedly. dron a well
masticated quid of tobacco into it in
stead of throwing the "old soldisr"
away.
Ibis was the famous editor, the
author of "Tho Lifo of Henry Clay,"
tho champion and bosom friend of
Prince Harry of tho West" dnrinir
tho latter's glorious and brilliant
career as a statesman, the writer of
Closing year" and other errand
poems; tho man whose keen wit, caus
tic sarcasm, eloquence and terse
dramatic force drove giants before
him with his pan. Yet his quiver
was filled with arrows of all size,
from the quill of the eagle to that of
the humming bird, and he could in
dite a fierce philippic in prose, or tone
his sentences to a sweet and tender
song of sympathy or lore in poetry.
irain exhibited his astonishment
for an instant, unobserved by Mr.
Prentice, however, and at onco the
two fell into earnest conversation.
Traiu was in Louisville with Anna
Dickinson, Susan B. Anthony and a
number of othor leading woman's
ngnts women, nna was assisting in
their suffrage crusade. After a pleas
ant stay of a half an hour or so.
Train withdrew and Prentice Dm.
ceeded to dictate a pen picture of his
iaio visitor.
For many years Mr. Prentice had
been forced to writo by an amanuen
sis, being as before intimated, a suf
ferer from scrivener's cramp, or
writer's palsy, known in surgery as
chorea Bcriptorum. He would walk
tho lloor in n slipshod wav with hands
clasped behind him, and in n some
what piping voice, with a nasal twang,
being also afflicted with catarrh, ho
wonld dictate to his amanuensis,
punctuating tho matter as he went.
He always began his articles with
what is known in typography as a
"fist" a little cut of tho hand with
the muox linger pointing, nnd thus
his pen picture of Geortre Frnnm'n

The modes of death's approach are
various, and statistics show conclu
sively that more persons die from dis
eases of the Throat and Lungs than
any other. It is probable that every
one, without exception, receives vast
numbers of Tubercle Germs into the
system and whero these germs fall
upon suitable soil they start into life
and develop, at first slowly and is
shown by a slight tickling sensation
in tho throat nnd if allowed to con
tinue their ravages they extend to tho
lungs producing Consumption and to
tho head, causing Catarrh. Now all
this is dangerous and if allowed to
proceed will in time cause death. At
the onset you must act with prompt
ness; allowing a cold to go without
your attention is dangerous and may
lose you your life. As soon as yon
feel that something is wrong with
your Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, ob
tain a bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. It will give you immediate
relief. A Large Parcaase of Fruit.
