STREET STORIES "I have known many men ,who were noted for their remarkable memories but I believe that no one had a memory to surpass that of the late Henry way, a united btates benator from Kentucky," said Luther C. Abbott, a local Justice of the Peace "I was well acquainted with the Senator. I had heard many men speak of his extraordinary memory and one day, while in Washington I and a friend decided to test it. My friend, Phineas O. Pratt, a well known educator living In Washington, but who had not seen Mr. Clay for a long number of years went to his house, where he lay sick. Mr. Clay at that time was very old and feeble. I sent my card in, upon which was described, 'L. C. Abbott and a friend." We were admitted. 1 didn't introduce Pratt but after the Senator and I had talked for a while, hia eyes flashed and he said 'Why hello there Pratt. It's been twenty years er thirty years since I last saw you. Walt a mlnnte and I'll tell you what we talked about.' "And he did. Clay recollecting everything. Wo then told him that we had made the visit to see him and to test the truth of the assertion that he had the greatest memory of any man in Washington. - Well I stood the test didn't I,' the Senator answered." MOLDS RECORD. Prohably no other man In Richmond has sat at the head of as many boards of sanity Inquests as has Justice Luther C. Abbott. In speaking of this matter the other day the justice of the peace said: "I remember a story I read several years ago about a Greek who was insane. Each afternoon he would go to the top of some hills near the village where he lived and watch the ships come into the harbor. He believed all of these ships belonged to him, as well as all of the surrounding counties. "By the application of a certain treatment the Greek was cured. And he growled about it, saying that when he was insane he was perfectly happy, believing that he was one of the richest men on the face of the earth."
