It has been years since I met my friend, Mark Blanfcrd. I see by the press dispatches that he is d^ad?died in Columbus iast weak, it grieved me for a tfcne. although ho was old enough to die. Eighty yea1 s is a good old age if the matt is good. Every time one of these eld trees falls it shocks me. George barn s died not long ago in Augusta, and 1 was grieved, for I loved him and 1 unconsciously whispered. "Next!v Only three of us left of the Senate of lS.i'l. Three w> re forty- . four, but the old reaper has cut down > all but our Chi f Justice Simmons, our chaplain. Brother Yarborough, and my- I self?and I am tick? But 1 was ruminating about Judge Elnnf rd?men caned bid Ma le?we a\h:> know him best, lie was, as Hamlet said of Yorlck. a man of infinite Jest and most oxeeUe>nt fancy. When the spirit moved him ho could entertain his friends most pleasantly and it was our delight to get him and Judge Vndcrwood and Judge Buchanan together with Evan Howell as a teaser and spend tho evening horirs during the session of the supremo court wh 'U Mark was one of the judges. During tho cou'-t hours Chief Justice Warner was sitting there as serious and solemn as a Presbyterian preacher drinking in the record and digesting the law of Cue case, while Mark took in the surroundings and absorbed ...e humorous side of everything. He was a good lawyer, but jumped to conclusions 1 ?... ? a woman and never saw much difference between the plaintiff and defendant unless one of them was a woman or a widow. One night we visited Mark in his room and ne regarded us with his experiences in justices* courts when he was young anil devilish. The old time justice court was a good school for a young lawyer. lie not only practiced law In it. but the arts cf oratory and could use big words with impunity, for neither the old squire nor the Jury know their meaning, but were impressed with their learned length and lingering sound. I still remember the Frotinan case that Mark rehearsed that night. A \cmkeo school teacher from tlio Nutmeg stt a lied sued dim .Tonkins for ?1S worth ot' schooling foe h's two boys. Troup and Calhoun. Jenkins wouldn't nay It because the two little mi litters hadn't learned anything hardly and tliey told him that Fret man .gave powerful long rcces-es and carri 1 on with the "nig girls amazing, iospocially with Sally Amanda Jones. 1'r ?tman was a good-looking yan'ur, with pink cheeks and winning ways, and was popular with the girl scholars. (Sometimes Salamander, as they called her. didn't go out at recess, but pre- j tended she had some sum.s to do. and i wanted the teacher to show her how. Troup oaid he heard her squeal o a day, and peeped through the crack and saw Fretman squeezing of her. Sha was a red-headed gal. Old Phil Davis was the justice court, Mark's plea was that Fretman wasn't a scholar, and not tlttin* to teach, and that he couldn't read wrltin' nor write reariln' nor sppll all the words In Daniel Websttr's blue-back spellln' i book, and he made a motion to put him cn the stand and spell him. Feetman's lawyer fought It, but the o'd squire said lie must spell. Fretman was seared. He trembled nil over like a cold, wet dog. "Spell Phthls'e," said Mark, and he spelt It correctly. Ha then spelt him right along on all sorts of bTp words anil little words and long words, and afterwards, but Fretman nev? r missed until finally Mark says. "Now spell Ompompynusuk." Fretman f'l.iw a long breath and sad it wasn't in the book, llut Mark proved by an old preacher that it was in the book, and so old Phil spoke up and said: "Mr. Fretman. you must spell it. I sir." He was then sweafin' Hke a run- ! down Ally. He took one pas* at It and missed. "You can ccme down, sir." old Mark, "you've lort your case." Ann sure enough old Phil gave Judgment against him and he had the cost to pay. But ho was good grit, for hs stuck to his school end his Salainan- j dor. At the next court Mark mnvnA r.onsult ft doctor who had sue 1 a feiler, and he filed a plea of mal-praotiee and demanded a rrofert of his diploma. The doctor said he had one at home, and begged for time to go after. Old Phil gave blm time, and he rode 0 I tulles and back as hard as he coul'J lick It. and shook It in Mark's face triumphantly. Mark smiled and said: "Now, doctor, please take the s anl and translate this furrin' language. Into i English, eo that his honor n;ftv know whether it Is a diploma or not. It loeks to me like nn old revolutionary grant of land." Of course the doctor i couldn't translate it. and lost lib case 1 In a Jiffy.
