QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

Several contributors have remembered
more or less of the true ballad OF Poor
Old Horse" as distinct from the sailors
chantey. Charles Goodrich Whiting, re-
calling the ltnsey-woolsey verse, writes !:
MY grandfather, who died In 1870 at
the age of 76. used to sing It to sim
pie and rather pathetic melody when
was a child" Kendall Green recalls the
fodder verse with the note my father
often rocked mo to sleep with that song"
Also recalling the fodder verse Y T.. A..
an infreduent yet valued contributor
from Louisville. goes back through a

STATESMEN. REAL AND NEAR.
~ FRED g. KELLY.

The first appearance of Associate Jus
tice Joseph Rucker Lamar In court was
as attorney for a Chinese murderer.
Everybody knew the Chinaman was
guilty and mad no chance OF escape.
And that was why the court appointed
young Lamar TO defend him.
Now Mr.. Lamar cared little about MS
client. personally. but II occurred to him
that IL would be we'll II ne could devise
some way to get him of after all. So
he set To work on the case and Rave
considerable effort 10 searching for sooS
technlcalty by which he could upset the
case for the prosecution. But all this
search was In vain and Mr.. Lamar en-
tered the trial Of the case without know
Ing how he was TO save his man.
The trial proceeded and the Chlnaman
who was the prosecuting witness swore
away the life OF the other Chinaman.
Then at last Mr.. Lamar grnsped an idea
and dragged 1t out OF nowhere into
there
lIc had been IN chinese laundrfes
many times and knew n number Of the
strange customs the Chinese are ad-
dictoj 10. For example, he knew that
Iaundrymcn USUALLY work IN three. and
mat they take q nap rl cry afternoon Of
p" o'clock. Another odd fact he had
picked up was that N" Chinese method
of taking oath is entirely unlike the
average form NJ oath. Whereas the
Caucasian sNears by placing one hand
On the BIB" ana saying, ~ do solemniy
swear Sc, Il Chinaman swears by kill
inr chicken aud smoarinc part OF it,
blood on a plate and then breaking the
plate. or some such scheme as that
Mr. Lamar said nothing about this
ANTI In" trial was nearly over. and ther
/ he pointed ont that n tho jury paid any
heed 20 tho testimony or the Chinese
witness II would hc sending a man 70
his doom on unsworn testimony. which
l is lnt!e better than mere idle chatter.
/ because. 10 said, tho Chnaman had
taken oath on Bible and the Chinese
do not believe In tho Bible. Hence he
might Woll have been sworn on a
copy Of .Esop's Fables. M. Lamar then
explained how - chinese oath must h.
takon.
~ conclusion 10 told the Jury what
would happen 70 them IN the hereafter
| IL they Ner" parties TO convicting a ma n
/ on evidence not sworn TO with a dead
/ chicken and broken pIa,s
And so they let the prisoner 20 free.

while he gives it.-Fisher Ames,
in Congress, 1876.
