Throw by all your follies, and cease all your

The Round Tab2c Of last week has some
thing over Il column Of pleasant gossip
about Washington Irving in the course Of
which occurs the following anecdote related
TO FIX President Van Burcn, OF the celebrated
legal orator, Elisha Williams, of Columbus
County:
lie was most graceful speaker, and his
voice, particularly III It's pathetic tones, was
melody itself. All who remember Ogden
Hofman's voice Che was called the Flute
by his fellow members of the bar of New
York; can appreciate the mellif1uous organ
of Mr. Williams. Hls power over jury
was astonishing. He swaycd them as with
the wand OF an enchanter; and it was very
seldom that he failed TO secure q verdict Tor
his client. But on ane occasion he did, in
such n perfectly ridiculous manner that q
crowded court, and grave judges on the
bench, were convulsed with laughter at the
burles1ue of the result. lie was completely
discomiitted by an ignorant, impudent,
unlettered pettifogger who knew not
particle of law, but somehow or other had
obtained the credit Of shrewdness, and the
reputation among his farmer neighbors Of
being hard TO beat.
The case, if we remember rightly, was an
act of murder Mr.. Williams, of course, en-
the ground of his power over the jury, was
Cor the defence. His peroration was exceed
ingly touching and beautiful:
Gentlemen of the jury" said he, ''if you
can find this unhappy prisoner at the bar
guilty Of the crime with winch he is charged
after the adverse and irreiragible argumants
which have laid before you, pronounce
your fatal verdict. Send him to lie in chains
upon his dungeon floor, waiting the death
which he is to receive ut your hands; then
go TO the bosom of your families--go lay
your head on your pillows-aad sleep, flyer
can ~
The effect Of these closing words of the
great legal orator was at first thrilling; but
by-and-by the pettifogger, who had volun-
teered TO follow the prosecuting attorney,
arose and said:
"0entlemer of the Jury should despair
after the weeping speech which has been
made to you by Mr.. Williams, OF saying
anything to do away with its eloquence.
never heard Mr.. Williams speak that piece
Of his n better than what he spoke IL just
now. Once / heard him speak il in case
of stealing, down 10 Schaghticoke; then he
spoke it agin in case of rape, up to
Ksopus; and the last time heard it, before
just now, was when tnen niggers was tried
and convicted, too, they was--for robbing
Van Pclt's hen-house, over beyond Kingston.
But never knowd him to speak it in 50
elegant and ciiectin' as what he spoke it Jest
now r.
This was poser The jury looked at ono
another whispered together, and our petit
fogger saw at once that he had got them.
lie stopped at once-ciosing with the single
remark
"if you can't see, gentlemen Of the jury,
that this one speech don't answer all cases,
then there's no use't OF my saying anything
more ~
Aud there wasn't; lac had made his case,
aud they awarded lin their verdict.
