A STORY OF BENTON.
How "A Witness Once En-aged the Famous
Statesman.

Thomas Benton once lived in VIII
Hanson County, Tennessee. at Hills
borough. which, at one time. was
called Benton" and praeticed his
profession in tie town of Franklin I
remember an INCIDENT of his profes-
sional career al that place. 1t seems
that some enemy of Benton's had cir
culated story that, while at school,
ne had appropriated five shilling
note belonging TO sehool-fellow and
hid it in his cravat. While the story
was not believed. Mr.. Benton, then a
thriving practitioner. was somewhat
sensitive on the subject He was at
one time engaged in the trial of law
suit in which shrewd and unscrupu-
lous cattle-trader was witness. The
latter had become somewhat famous
through sharp trick he had played
upon Methodist preacher who came
to- him to buy a COW. Il can let you
have any COW in the buuch,' said old
Jarnigan. ''exccpt that Iong-bagged
red heifer you see over there. She is
such good one that / could not part
sith uer." This. of course. had the
effect of making the unsophisticated
preacher exceedingly aPxious to buy
that particular COW. and finally ended
in his buying her at about three times
her actual value, only to learn after
ward that she was an old and worth
less COW which Jarnigan had fixed up
for heifer by scraping out the hicks
in her horns. When this witness was
put upon the stand and it came Benz
TON 5 time to cross-examine, he opened
up with the following question: Are
you not the Mr. Jarnigan who owned
the long-bagged red heifer?' Quick
as a flash old Jarnigan retorted: Are
you not the Mr.. Benton who had a
five shilling note in his cravat?" White
with fury. Mr.. Benton sprang from the
chair and dealt Jarnigan blow. and
in an instant they were rolling and
tumbling over the floor. Benton was
quite an exasperating man in dealing
with others, and very irascible one
himself -NashrilIe Democrat.
