contempt of court. and begging with
Iuplifted hands that the court should
order him defendants attorney to
Jail, which however was not done
Defendants attorney asked the
court to charge the jury among other
things, the law in regard to waits,
estrays and abandoned property, as
applicable to eases of larceny of
property of that class.
That If the hog lay in the woods
until it became ferde Tdturae it would
not be larceny to take it. and to ex-
plain to the jury the law that gov
ems animals Jerae natUroe. ~
That if the defendant knew this
hog to be a biting hog it would be a
nuisance, and the defendant or any
other good citizen had a right to
abate it.
That if the hog had the cholera it
was Of no value and was therefore
not the subject of larceny, but ought
to have been burned to keep other
hogs from taking cholera.
When the argument was conclud-
ed, the Judge retired to his room at
the hotel and wrote out his charge,
returned to the courtroom and de-
.livered it to the jury, remarkiug at
the same time, that he regretted ex-
ceedingly that the shortness OF time
prevented him from entering into q
lengthy explanation of the law upon
the several points to which his at
tention had been called by his learn
ed brother. defendants attorney,
and that If in the future he should
find time and opportunity to do SO,
he purposed, and would take great
pleasure in writing book contain
ing his views on the subject of hog
cholera, also the opinion entertained
by him of animals ferde 1sdturde, and
that he expected to devote one
chapter of the book exclusively TO
the subject of wild hogs, while in
ether chapters he should give ex-
preston to his views as to hogs that
are partially domesticated that if
his learned brother desired him to
do so he would also give his opinion
upon the subject of the effect of the
human system of eating hog meat to
excess, and he would probably in
sert an article containing his expert
ence in curing bacon, and that when
his book was finished he proposed to
dedicate it to his learned brother
and also to present him a copy to
grace his law library, and for future
reference in cases like the one on
trial.
The jury returned verdict of not
guilty, and the county has to pay
the costs OF this extraordinary pre-
ceeding which occupied about one
day of the term. How does this
compare with the revenue and coun-
terfeit cases at Knoxville?

FROM TIE KNOXVILLE
CHRONLGLE

What newspapers can do towards
extending and building up the trade
of city has recently beea demon
strated IN a striking way in the case
of the city OF Baltimore. Some time
ago report setting forth the COM
mercial advantages Of that city was
copied extensively in the Danish,
Norwegian, Swedish and Russian pa.
pers, and the result is that there are
now some thirty vessels at sea, most
ly Swedish and Norwegian, bound
for Baltimore. Eight vessels OF
those nationalities are now in port.
Many vessels hitherto trading to
New York are said to be now be-
slowing their favors upon Baltimore.
Where the newspapers Of a city
circulate, there the business Of that
community inevitably fellows. The
daily or weekly paper carrying in
issue after issue, its notes Of the
business improvements going on
about it, and the advantages its city
possesses over its rivals, in due time
accomplish their work. It begins in
a small way, perhaps, but like the
successive drops Of rain upon the
hardest rock, it accomplishes its
mission. Danbury, Connecticut, it
is said. has profted in many ways
from the sudden notoriety it has OBJ
tanned by the circulation far and
wide of it's NeaCs. It's manufactures
receive orders from new and distant
points, and being shrewd men, fol-
ow up the beginning with due enter
prise. Other instances are familiar
and well known. The press Of q
city gives it character and position
more rapidly than many believe, and
its interests are SO completely iden-
titled and blended with the cOmmuni-
ty in which it is published, that when
conducted with judgment, its great
est ambition is to build up and sns-
tain those about it, A business
man who does not appreciate how
thoroughly his interests are identi-
fed with the newspaper that tells in
new and interesting form, day
after day, to thousands at home and
abroad, of his business, Of the i'm
provements Of his property, Of the
increased value of his real estate, of
the new industrial and commercial
enterprises that mark the progress
of his city, Of the health, religious
fervor, educational facilities and
general prosperity of the community
in which he dwells, is slow to realize
the lessons that every day unmis-
takably teach.

BEATING BUTLER.

The editor of the Chattanooga
Commercial, writing to his paper
from Bristol, gives this pretty broad
expression Of opinion as to the re.
suit of the Congressional race IN this
district between Gillenwaters and
Butler:
Politically, there is and has been
q good deal of fuss in this, the first
district Several prominent gentle
men started out some time ago to
beat Judge Butler for Congress, but
their efforts thus far don't amount
to much. After talking with a great
many people from various parts Of
the district, and using due dilige ice
to acquire information otherwise,
give it as my opinion that Judge
Butler was never so strong with the
people of his district as now. In
spite OF all the efforts his opponents
may put forth he will walk over the
track in November easier than ever
before A great many people say
they don't understand why it is that
Bntler has such hold on his consti-
tuents. When they become acquaint'
ed with him they will then know why.
1t is hard to describe the secret oil
his success. He possesses a great
deal of personal magnetism. He is
kind and Obliging to every one alike,
He studies the interests Of his people
without regard to political differen
ces, and then works hard to carry
them into effect. He has built his
career upOn this foundation, and
those who undertake it will find nc
easy task to pull him down. K.

afar off. The volcanic eruptions

miles around, have dwindled down
to a stoveful OF ashes, yet the Re-

to pile 'em in for Iouk. Balldy

that the world through him might

SCENES IN GREENEVtLLE.

The scene at CampbelPs saloon,
last Saturday evening, was both hu-
milating and suggestive. A large
number of drinking men having col
lected there the lady crusaders were
reinforced till most Of their number,
and many OF their gentlemen friends
were there. The drinking men drank
till two became .beastly drunk, and
more than a score were intoxicated
white and black. The crusaders
drew their lines closer sung and
prayed. Campbell had some men
engaged in breaking rock and re-
pairing the walk directly in front Of
the saloon. Thus within an area of
a few feet, at one and the same time,
were breaking rock, shoYeling dirt,
playing the fiddle, dancing, cnrsing,
black-guarding singing wicked songs,
and praying The crowd was ex-
cited. Men, we are informed. were
armed. At one time a irregular street
fight seemed imminent. One blow
and it would have been like a spark
in magazine of powder-lives would
have in all probability been lost.
Six o. clock came. the saloon was
closed. the crusaders left and the
drunken, maddened crowd dispersed.
