Mag 1t please the Court and Brothers Of
the Bar:
did not expect to take part on this
solemn occasion, this paper having just
reached me, asking me to express my feel
ing toward our late Brother Dutton.
When came to Ellswort h in 1865, Judge
Dutton was then in college. had never
seen him. ! came into he office OF Brot her
Warehouse, who was then a practitioner
here at Ellsworth, and with whom your
honor soon formed an acquaintance and
partnership.
As Brother Dutton left college and pre-
pared himself for the study of law, he
went to Cambridge, Mass. He talked
with me considerably about the law
school at Cambridge, rs had been there
year or two, and | remember that |
ad vised him to take the course. He came
out OF college we'll equipped, a thorough
student lover of nature, rs our
brothers have said and | thought he
would gain much that would be useful
to him in subsequent life. He went
there, he studied, and, by some writings

spoken OF there as showing a very strong

TRAIT OF his character most deeply i'm
pressed me, | should say that it was the
depth and power OF his love for the insti-

the people amongst whom he lived; love
for the Christian religion, in which he
thoroughly believed, and for the old
church yonder, i'll which he and his fam
lily worshipped for so many years; love
for his alma mater Yale, and for the
traditions and associations OF his college
days; love for his family name, which
has been SO long identified with the best
interests OF tlsNorth; love for the good
cid city OF EilsN orth, which he SO faith
fully and Cousclentio usly served; love
Tor the people OF Ellsworth, rich and
poor, high and low; and love, lastly, for
nature and natures works; not, however
the love for nature entertained By the
modern nationalist but II love for nature

Lloyd q. Harris Of st. Louis tells the
following amusing anecdote Of Missis-
sippi river steamboating:
1.-The captain and officers Of the Mis-
souri, Belle, a Mississippi steamer. were
very fond of the buttermilk which q
farmer who lived along the river bank
supplied to them. The boat, in passing
this point, would always make a land
ing aud blow her whistle in order to
notify the farmer that she was there
waiting for 'buttermilk. The farmer
would send down a negro man with q
bucket Of buttermilk, and having taken
it aboard the boat would proceed on her
way. -.
"On one occasion when she tried to
edge up at this point she struck a sand
bar and sunk. The captain blew q sig
nal Of distress, fastening the lever so
that she would blow as long as there
was steam, while the hungry waters
were gradually rising and swallowing
her up. The water had crept up to the
boiler, and as it rushed in there was an
expiring gush Of steam into the signal
pipe. which caused q most peculiar,
lugubrious and nerve shattering sound.
Just at that moment Pompey, who was
responding to the signal, reached the
waters edge with his pail. When he
heard that sound, he exclaimed:
"'Great Gawd! Da's de Belle a-sink-
in and calm TO- buttermilk wild her

BULLYING BARRlSTERS,
And How They Are Sometimes Crushed
by Smart Witnesses.

And How They Are Sometimes Crushed
by Smart Witnesses.
Some little time ago the Rev. j.
P. Bacon Phillips, founder of the
Witnesses Protection society, was
kind enough to come up to town
from Crowhurst rectory or purpose
to be interviewed by the present
writer on the subject Of repartee in
the witness box. To the courtesy Of
this gentleman, therefore, am I in.
debted for the droll examples of
wordy duels which follow.
On one occasion Sir Frank Lock
wood was defending a man in York
shire who was accused of stealing
rattle, or "beasts," to use the north
country term. One witness for the
prosecution declared he beheld the
whole transaction from afar.
Nov, my man," quoth Mr.. Look
wood Gas he then was), severely,
you must be extremely careful in
your statements. You say you
watched this affair for some time.
Tell me now how far can you see a
beast to really know its points?"
Just as faar off as / am from you,
master, replied the yokel earnest
ly, and the great @. G. subsidized.
There was a civil action in the law
courts some time ago, mainly con-
corning money matters. The plain
tiff stated calmly in the witness box
that his financial position had al
ways been satisfactory.
Counsel for the other side rose
with a truly %portentous air, and in
| quired if he had ever become bank
rupt.
Plaintiff said he had not.
"Pray be careful, sir. Remember,
you are on oath. Do you mean to tell
the court you never stopped pay
ment?" o..
WELL" was the reply, now you
come to call it to my mind, I believe
I did on one OCCASION"
"Ah, I thought we should arrive
at it presently" And counsel took
a long draft of water, in an impress
sive and theatrical way. Now, sir,
when did that happen?"
"After I had paid all my debts"
was the crushing reply.
The court fairly shrieked with
laughter, and the judge laughed, too,
while the usher was SO stricken wish
merriment that he was far from re-
storing order.
The writer was present in court
when the following amusing passage
took place between counsel and wit.
ness in a disputed will case.
did your father give you no part
ing admonition?"
HE never gave much away at any
time"
IT mean to say, what were his last
words?"
"They don't consarn you
"They not only concern me, SIR"
remarked the barrister severely,

"Oh, all right" was the reply.
"Father said, Don't have no trouble
when I'm gone, Jim, COS lawyers is
the biggest thieves unhung.'"
IT can teach you law, sir, but I
cannot teach you manners" said an
exasperated counsel to a small, meek
witness.
The latter quietly replied, "That
is so. SIR" and people laughed con.
sumedly.
The Extensively familiar witness
is a Ore trial. The dignity and cru.
dition of the most eminent @. G. are
thrown away on him. In an impor-
tant case recently heard in the chan
Gerry division a l%oquacious witness
was asked the question:
