LEGAL POETS.
How the Lawyers at the Criminal
Court Amuse Themselves.

For the last few days the Criminal Cour'
bas had under consideration acase which haa
not only been vsarysome to the lawyers. but 9
bill Of expense to the county. Some time
ago one sasser turned over horse 70 Mr..
Russell, of . livery stable, 10 keep for i'd
board. One of the conditions Of this bargain
was that Russell should hire out the animal
when opportunity offered. Some time last
summer the horse, while thus hired out,
d. opped dead, ., the fort Dad, and Il Z
owner brought suit against the livery stable
keeper for the value Of the animal. Yesser-
day, while the closing argument vas being
made, the lawyers seated round the long table
scrubbed of the following verses to while
away the weary houn.
A noted criminal lawyer headed sheet Of
legal cap with the following brilliant efiu-
sion and then passed it to his fellows, who
each added stapza or two:

superiority of Tennessee.

1t is ascertained from facts gathered
from the census reports that Tennessee
ranks ahead of all her sister Southern
States In industrial and financial affairs,
and Virginia stands second. Tennessee
farms are valued at $2lS, zoo, 600; her
real AID personal estate at $i9S, 100000;
the products OF her farms at $50 100000,
and paid In taxes, in 1870, $l,25S,000.
Nirginia's farms are worth S2l3000,-
600; her real and personal estate, $4O9,-
50O, 900; her farm products, sol ,7O0,OO0 ;
her taxes, $l,225,OO0.
Thus il Is seen that ours is by far the
richest OF all the Southern States, and
rs she has the largest amount OF wealth,
she has relatively the smallest amount
of taxes to pay, and immigrants need
not keep away in dread of intOlerable
public burdens, which in many other
States destroy the saleable value of prop
erty. The Memphis Appeal is right, we
think, I'm asserting that Ii the productive
value of manufactures and mines were
given, it would be seen that Tennessee
far suTpasses In productive wealth any
Southern State, and In proportion to
our whole real wealth we pay infinitely
less taxation than the people of any
State south of the Ohio. Therefore the
enormous value of land in Tennessee,
in proportion TO that of her agricultural
pI Oducts. Here we pay the State one
fourth per cent OF the value of proper
ty; Alabama pays more than one per
cent; Georgia nearly One-half per cent;
Louisiana (Outside the Cities) pays less
thpn tennessee; Mississippi and North
Carolina Onc-half per cent, and Texas
one-half per cent. IL can he shown
that if the manufacturing and mining
statistics were SO that We could embrace
them i'm our calculations, that then
Tennessee would not be taxed rs heavily
as any other State In proportion to her
whole wealth, ard that, with reference
10 public burdens, Tennessee is the
most attractive to Immigrant farming
aud manufacturing populations of all
the States of the South.-RUrdl San.

The Oldest Living NInn.

DIR. Davidson says that ION the farm
of DR.. Scott, on the headwateTs of
FOrkcd-deer river, near Milan, Gibson
county, Tennessee, there lives an old
negro named Fortune Snow, who is in
his one hundred and ti0eHty-tOurth year.
In June, 1862, i went TO see him, and /
will tell you what 1 saw when l got to
the house. | met an old snaggletoOth
amendment gentleman siXty-iive years
old, who told me his 'grandpap' was in
the house, who came tripping down the
steps as nimble as some titteen-year-
old boy. tie told ne he was twenty
five years old when the revolutionary
war began. He belonged to Captain
Snow, who served during ihe war un-
der Gen. Marion; was born In South
Carolina; fought through the war un-
der his master I'm nearly every battle.
Yet he never has received a pension
from the best government the world
ever saw He moved from South Car
Oliua to Alabama, where he lived fifty
three years, then came TO Tennessee.
Capt. Snow, at his death, gave Mr..
Chapman, his son-in-law, five hundred
dollars To support old Fortune the bal
ance of hl' lite; and this Mr.. Chapman
lived on for forty-seven years, and
died and left old 'aig still living"
