Show Henry Clay and Lew Wallace. "Mr. Clay was of a personality once seen never to be forgotten. Tall, slender, graceful, he had besides the air majestic which kings affect, Imagining Im-agining it oxcluslvo proporty. "Throughout Mr. Clny's performanco my eyes scarcely left his countenance, which, nB ho proceeded, sank from sight until, by the familiar optical Illusions, nothing of It remained but tho mouth, and that kopt enlarging and widening until it seemed an elastic elas-tic link holding tho ears togethor. Indeed, at this late writing, uy ono distinct recollection of tho man and his speech Is the mouth and Its capacity capac-ity for infinite distension." Autobiography Autobiog-raphy of Lew Wallace. |
