EULOGY ON THE DOG.
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.”
