Well put the following' sample of aa '
Arkansas lawyers eloquence against any
thing tliey can bring from the West, t As
to the justness of his reasoning we say
nothing, but as to its conclusiveness
we defy any one to find a match. ' His
client was brought up for stealing a , '
mule. After the witnesses had all been
sworn, and the lawyer on the other aide
had given his Opinion, our orator gave
uentlemen of the jury, the whole of
you there you set: You have all heard
what those witnesses have said, and of
course you agree with me that my clt- ' 1

never had a mule, nor be never would
have a mule about him. , Iti has his

as to believe him. Listen to me if you
want to hear the truth and reason and '
while you are about ' it, wake , up that
fellow who't asleep ; I want him to hear,
too. 1 ' '.. ., '. .
The other lawyer says, too, that my
client should be sent to prison. I'd like
to see you send him once. But its get
