That Poor Horse.

"'SimpIe Simon" in the Mayors organ,
suggests that the Mayor rides his own
horse, experimenting the street hands
and never charges the city for his horse or
his own time. Well, now, we suggest
that the city get a Mayor who will work
tire street hands some of the time
IN tic. city, where no horse will
be necessary. No wonder "Simple
Simon" has compassion for that poor
horse The Mayor rides him hard to work
the street hands on the "ring's" farm in
North Knoxville. We suggest that the
Mayor pay off the horse with some of those
wonderful assets-uncollected taxes. But
how the Mayor ought to take his nav. He
is too sharp to take it in unsolicited tax
esq All no. His Honor takes his pay in
solid, costly improvements about his own
property: They exceed in value s., 900 per
annum No tlncollected taxes for him.

Tho First Instance.

w. f. Yardley, Esq, prominent young
colored lawyer of Knoxville, was yester-
day admitted by Judges EmmOns and
Trigg, to practice as an attorney at law in
the United States Circuit and District
Courts. Squire Yardley, considering his
early advantages has thus won an enviahle
distinction, he being probably the first
colored man admitted to practice law in
the United States or State Courts in Ten
nessee. Mr.. Yardley has had but few ed
ucational advantages. He never went to
school day in his life. All his schooling
was in Sabbath School where he was
taught by Mr.. l.. c. Shepard who has
thus another evidence of his good works.
Squire Yardley is studious, industrious
young lawyer and has promising future
before him as leader among his race.
