Instiee 10 An-Churns and Bulbs.

1t is the duty Of those who control the press
to do equal justice far possible, to all cIl-
zens. It's with this view that we rise to GA-
plain, or rather give one of our trlendS "a! :.t
benefit fan explanation we learn ne oferS' WIN
great earnestnesS. g.
Our readers will remember that IN IT!
days ISSUE we gave couple OF amusing M
dents in regard to distinguished Ia"y eli =:
chant, in selling onions and Washing InacnIhes'
The charge was made by member OF the par,
in an arg1ment in the Circuit Court, during the
present week.
Judge BIS explanation is as follows:
YOU see, that fellow H, here's what's the
matter with him that made him tell that yarn
: about the 'inguns. About year ago he came
to me and wanted to buy lot of bulbs OF lilly
and gladioluses and other choice flowers to plant
in his garden and told me that as he dldn
know nothing about them himself, he would de-
pend on me to select them for him. -
81 had lot of onions of different sizes on
hand in the store and l selected him out fine
lot and told him the names OF the various
flowers and let him have them and charged him
thirty cents apiece for them.
We'll, he planted them and watched them
every day, and by and by he came down to the
store and says he,
"'B'" them thar lilies and gladioluses you
let he have is coming up beautiful. Yes,
says /, H, them's choice flowers, brought
them all the way from France myself
"a week or two after that he was watching
and he broke off shoot and put it up to his
nose, and you just ought to have seen him COM
ing double-quick down to the store.
!" Look here B. said he, them gladioluses
is nothing but ingins.'
so pshaw, H. says |, you can't tell moth
ing by the foliage, and the fragrance amt very
fine, but just wait till you sec them bloom
$50, that's what's the matter with H., you
see, and that's what made him tell that yarn
about the ingins
LAS to the churn, that all stuff; ANT nothing
in that story Never mind. He thought, L
reckon, because he was my counsel in that case,
L couldn't get after him, but I'll remember him,
and just you see how L II raise him next time
have the wind-up on him in jury speech
We cheerfully give Judge b. the benefit OF
his explanation. We learn that he has retained
counsel to bring action for SANDER against our
indiscreet legal friend. We trust however,
that the report will prove unfounded. Let
us have peace"

In MemOrian,

Mr.. j. L. Benziger was born in Switzerland,
in the Canton Of Appenzell, 1871, and was near
ly 81 years of age at the time of his death.
In early life he eVinced fOndneSs for books
and study, and at an early age he was sent to
an agricultural school, in the neighborhood of
Berne, and as the Swiss are ordinarily no mat
ter what their station in life, educated to some
employment, he qualified himself as a teacher.
He was not long out of employment, being
called to take charge of an orphan school, just
established at Tenfen, one of the villages of the
canton. He held this position for twenty years
and was eminently successful as a teacher. He
loved his profession and endeared himself to
his pupils by his unwonted interest in their be-
half, and it was the remark of his pupils that
he was the right man IN the right place tie
knew personally, and had great admiration for
Pestalozzi, and adopted his method of impart-
ing instruction.
In 1853, with a company of German-Swiss
he emigrated to this country, and since that has
been a resident of this county. He did not get
the English language with the same facility as
some of his associates, and aside from his early
friends he had but few acquaintance. Most
persons under the circumstances would have
been lonely. Not so with him. He found COM
panonShip with the choicest authors in his Ian
guage, which he had gathered almost layiShy
in his library.
He industriously toiled upon q small farm in
the country and as industriouly gave himself to
his work, while a city resident for the last four
years,
His evenings however, were sacred to his
family, and it was his delight to gather them
about him. and impart that instruction he saw
they needed to tit them for the station they
might occupy in life, enlivening all with his
sacred songs for which he had passionate fond
ness.
Mr.. B. was generous to fault, and as he had
the ability, none lelf him empty. His integrity
was unquestioned and his modeSty amounted
almost to bashfulness but above all he was a
Christian, and though torn from his friends
without moments warning we doubt not that
he was fully prepared for the change.
His remains were followed to Gray Cemetery
yesterday by a large concourse of friends. The
Knoxville Turn Vcrein turned out in mass and
followed in procession to the grave. Rev. Mr.
Weishaupt oficiated at the funeral

ACCIDENTAL DEATH.
A Man Falls From His Horse and is Killed

On yesterday we learned the following parti-
cularS of the death of a young man named
Kains Taylor a resident of Loudon county
which occurred about three miles from Muddy
Creek, on Friday night the 1st instant.
Taylor had been drinking freely, and the last
time he was seen alive was at the house of Mr.
Murray, two miles distant from his home. His
body was found yesterday morning about mile
posed that he fell from his horse and broke his
neck, as it was not sufficiently cold for him to
have persisted by freezing.
A coroner's jury was summoned, but had not
returned a verdict in form when our informant
left, but it was the general opinion that it would
be in accordance with the above.

Thorburn, to suffer in his stead Thorburn was
brought before Judge NJ L. Hall yesterday,
charged with violating the Law regarding lot
teries, and the penalty, so far as he was indi-
vidually concerned, placed at the minimum
limits but not having given the necessary Sc
curity last night, he still remained in the Gus

hat Thorburn yesterday showed dispatch
from him dated at Bristol, which, if genuine,
shows that he has certainly gone.

We have no change to note since our last re-

But two transactions in horses have come to ouu
knowledge during the week and that at forced
sale, which is no criterion of the condition Of
the market. Buyers from Pennsylvania are in
Kentucky on the lookout for mules, they being
smoother than those from Indiana, though COM
handing better prices. The great difference in
price between cash and credit sales make both
buyers and sellers alike cautious, There are no
quotations that can be given, prices depending
entirely on the necessity for purchasing and the
real value of the animal.
