The TaIIest Man In Tennessee.
ne Somerville Falcon.

From the Somerville Falcon.
There is now living in Perry County,
Tennessee, wonderful curiosity in the
person of James Horner, the Tennessee
giant. He is one OF family OF eight
children, none of the rest of whom have
exhibited any unusual traits. AT eigh-
teen years he was a well grown man, six
feet high, and weighed one hundred and
eighty pounds. At twenty-one he was
six inches taller, and weighed two hum
bred and ten pounds. any growth after
that was not noticed, until he was twenty
four wears old, and then by the smallness
of his clothes, and he then measured In
his stockings six feet nine inches. Since
then-he is now thirty one years of age
he has attained the height of seven feet
nine inches, and is still growing, this be-
ing an increase of about two incnes annu-
ally. Some years he grows more and
some less, but this is his average. While
he ought to weigh al least 800 pounds, he
onlys weighs 23S. He is excessively
lank and gawky, and only possesses one
quality IN large degree, and that is his
ability to walk. He thinks nothing OF
walking from home to Linden the county
seat. twelve miles distant, and back to
dinner.

LEGISLATIVE CLOWNS.

Every circus has its clown as well as Its
ing-master, every Inenagerie its mon
key as well as its elephant, and every
theatre its low comedian as well as its
leading tragedian,-a we suppose leg
islatiye bodies are controlled by that same
general law which in this respect regu-
latCs the eternal fitness of things"
kinrs of old had their fools as well as
their counsellors, and the unhappy LEAR
felt the loss of his "poor toop' more deep
ly than all other calamities. And what
would CEDRIC the Saxon have been
without his devoted WANNA, that witty
son of WITLEss? And how helpless the
fair RosALIND in the forest of Arden but
for the native wisdom of ToUCHsToNE?
The fools of history, poetry and romance
command quite Us much attention as Its
sages. Then there were the famillars OF
PRosPERo also; tho gentle ARIEL and
the wicked monster CALIBAH; while in
TITANIA's court we find Puck and
OBERoN, and BORON, with his asslnine
head and elongated ears. How like to
our Congress this literary Congress OF
fools. and fairies, asses and monsters,
sages and ring-masters2 And yet, while
the dull ass will not mend his pace by
beating, the fool might for time at least
check his folly while serious business is in
hand, and if he persisted in joking out of
place, or jinglihg his bells out of time,
the whip of the ring-master should bring
hlm to a sober realization of the solemn
duties of the occasion, and put stop to
hi. mad-cap pranks, his acrObatic antics,
and these same jokes and jeers, however
satirical and mirth-provoking, that are
wont to set the House in roar. Send
away the clown and the monkeys, Mr..
Ring master; we have had enough OF
them for the present. and bring on your
Elephant.

Exneuses of the Revenue bureau.

The House Committee on Appropr'a-
tons at its meeting Tuesday morning
examined Commissioner Pratt and his
assistants in regard to the organization
of the Bureau of Internal Revenue, the
object being to ascertain ifany reductions
in the expenses of the Bureau can be
made. The present cost of collecting in
ternal revenue, exclusive of the expenses
of the Bureau in Washington, is about
S5.OO0,0O0. Some Republicans will re-
sist any reduction in this Bureau, on the
ground that it will result in the creation
of new whisky rings, and a loss to the
Government greater than any saving that
NAV be made. Mr.. Pratt also discussed
the proposition presented in the House
for the consolidation of the Customs and
Internal Revenue Bureaus. This hs
thought impracticsble, on account OF the
difference in the duties performed by the
Bureaus.
