• • 7 If Alexf.nder H. Siepleus rAo«ld b'; nt home and bis mind not absorbed in po'olie mTairs, the visitor wiUfiiid him cue of llie best and most prolific auec- dotists of the day. One story—alas that lie cannot sit in the types to tell it 1—is the Peter Bon net speech. A Dr. Royston, doubtless, a most excellent man, had sued Mr. Bennett for his bill. '-111110 Alick,” as Alexan der is minified by his friends, Udd his client, Peter B.,-that the case of ser vice and its value v,-ere proved against him in legal form and there was no real defease. But the old farmer insis ted that his lawyer should “apeak to the ease.” , Mr. Stephens told him that he' iong'iil''^- apeatr Ihnaself if Vie ti-ou^lu'n. speech could be made, and was sur prised by tile retort “i will, if Bobby Toombs won’t be too hard on me.” Mr. Toombs promised, and Peter Bennett began. “Gentleman of the jury, I ain’t no lawyer and no doctor, and you ain’t cuther. And if we farmers don't stick together, these tawyora and dcctors will get advantage of us. I ain’t got no objections to lawyers and doctors in their place, and some is clever men, but they ain’t fanner’s, gentlemen of the juTj. Now this Dr. Roystoii was a new doctor and I sent for liim to doc tor my wife’s sore leg. And he did, aiid put some salve truck on it and some rags., but never done it bit of good, gentleman of the jury. I don’t believe lie’s no doctor, no way. 'Tliore’sdoctors as I know is doctors, sure enough, but this ain’t no doctor at all.” This was evidently telling, and Dr. Eoyslon put in with, “Look at my diploma and see If I am not a doctor.” ‘'His diploma 1” said the new-fledged orator, with great contempt. “That ain’t nothin’, for no pieca of paper ever made a doctor yet.” “Ask my patients,’’ siiouted the now furious physician. Tliis was the conventional straw that seemed to break the back of the orator's patience. •‘Ask your patientsho said, in slow, mournful deliberation. “Ask yourp.sLients? Why they are alldead. Tlien in rapid dcclamatiou, he named case after case, well known, but most ly among the negro servants of his neighbors, where his opfKment had treated tliem and their o-wners buried them, and continued: “Ask your pa tients ! Wiiy, I would have to seek them in the lonesome church-yard, and rap on the silent tomb to gel answers from the dead, dou know they can t say nothin' to this case, for you’ve kill ed them all 1” The applause closed the speech, and the defendant won his case.—C.
