Senator Vest Pays High Tribute to "Man’s Best Friend.” One of the pretty Incidents told of Vest was his eulogy of a dog in a country court in Missouri. Vest w n waiting for a case to he rill 0 ,!, ’u which he was interested. Tilt) uog case came up and a man was being sued for killing his neighbor’s dog. He became interested and the plain tiff’s attorney urged him to speak. He arose and said slowly: "Gentlemen of the Jury: The best friend a man has in this world may turn against him and become his ene my. His son or daughter that he lias reared with loving care may prove un grateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust with our happiness ami good name, may become traitors to their faith. The become traitors to their faith. The money that a man has he may lose. It Hies away from him, perhaps when he needs it most. A man’s reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill- considered action. The people who are prone to fall on their knees to do us honor when success is with us, may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure sets its cloud up on our heads. "The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him. the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog. A man’s dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may lie near his master's side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer: he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounter with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. When all other friends desert, he remains. When riches take wings and reputa tion falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey- ings through the heavens. Made Many Eyes Wet. "If fortune drives the master forth an outcast in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privelege than that of accom panying him. to guard against danger, to fight against his enemies. And when the last scene of all comes, and death takes the master in its embrace, and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by the grave side will the noble dog he found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad, but open in alert watchfulness, faith ful and true even in death.” Then Vest sat down. He had snok- en in a low tone, without a gesture. He made no reference to the evidence or the merits of the case. When lie finishd judge arid jury were wiping their eyes. The jury filed out, but soon entered with a verdict of $500 for the plaintiff, whose dog was shot; and it was said that some of the jurors wanted to hang the defendant. Vest’s life was full of such inci dents. He was a poor man—as riches go, hut whatever he had was ever at the service of anyone in need. He loved children—ho loved his fellow man—and he left a name of which his children may well he proud. Bamberg, the “Wickedest” Town. (Abbeville Medium.) We have mentioned Greenville, Co lumbia. Chester and Kershaw as four tough towns, forming our opinion from publications in the newspapers of the several places. Now comes Bamberg, and it is ahead of all. John W. Black in a communi cation to the Herald shows the law less condition of the place. He says the dispensary law is violated and the people hold their peace. There is drunkenness on the streets and the people wink at it. Boys and men entry pistols and brass knucks and no steps are taken to punish the j offence. Lately they have the plague of base hall and that is getting worse, for the disease has spread to women, boys and girls. In the same Issue of the Herald there is another communication from “A Citizen,” who confirms what is said by John W. Black. He says: ‘‘Our municipal government is a disgrace to any community. There are times when our streets are not fit for a lady to be on them. Some times a man can hardly pass up and down them, especially on Saturdays. Our sidewalks are blockaded with both ! white and black men and negro wo-1 men, so that it is impossible to pass without pushing your way through, and more or less of these blockaders are drinking or drunk, and using such language as is not decent for a gen tleman to hear, much less a lady. “ ’A Citizen’ >r laws: To stop filth of every dion being thrown on the streets iewalks; to keep stock from gnji the streets; to keep men am! from riding on the sidewalks ;pp any one from riding a hors<«e sidewalks; to prohibit lewd and to prohibit lewd women idvertising their business on tl?ts; to stop men and boys frof'ing pistols and brass knucks. “A Citizen” “I see and hear all the above going on in our city, but no .aken to prohibit them.” Mrs. T.uford Sick.
