Missouri Agricultural Report. 



down in Lexington a crowd of Kentuckians were discussing the 

 great men of your State, when one of them jumped to his feet and 

 in a very excited manner said, "If I were called upon, to define the 

 word 'gentleman,' quickly would I ask Professor Trowbridge to 

 arise, and with pride, and without fear of contradiction, I would 

 point to him as one man who fulfills every condition and meets 

 every requirement, as demanded by Webster. He is the acme of 

 all the word 'gentleman' implies — bred and born a gentleman, lives 

 and loved a gentleman, leads a gentlemanly life, and when the final 

 call shall have been made, will fill the grave of a 'gentleman.' "
