A Coop UNA ' Green Mountain Boy"
tells the following spicy anecdote, and which
he says, is au thentic;
Z" Roswell F, Vermont lawyer of dis
tinguished ability, now residsng in St.. Louis,
and in the first rank of the bar at Missouri.
hal brought a suit in court which was really
so plain a case for the plaintiff, that, having
submitted the papers and other proofs to the
court. be felt that his clients interest really re-
quired no more, and he accordingly sat down
without making the customary opening address
to the jury. But the defendants counsel, more
ambitious of rhetorical display, and probably
more conscious that the defense required the
best abilities, rose and made long harangue,
characterized by an immense food Of pomp-
Gus words, (as was his custom,) but destitute
even of an attempt at logic or reasoning Of any
kind. When he had done, the plaintiffs coun-
sci, who was expected to make an elaborate
speech in roply. rose and merely said May it
please the court and gentleman of the jury-in
this case | shall follow the example of the coun-
sol for the defense, and submit the case ,oithout
