BRULE COUNTY, DAKOTA, FRIDAY,'SEPTEMBER. 12, 1884
A SemlBiaMnoe of Henry Clay,
We clip from the columns of the
Missouri Republican the following in
teresting communication from Bev, Ed.
P. BuckWy of Kirkwood, Mo., formerly
paator of the Episoopal church in Lex
ington, Ky., to which Mr. Clay be
longed, and who officiated alike at the'
baptism and funeral.of the great south
ern statesman. The incident described
has never before boon in print:
Whatever is interesting in the lives of
distinguished men ought to be reoord
ed. Xhere rove come under my per
sonal observation, for stood tojiim in
the relation of pastor during the last
fourteen years ot his life, and knew him
well, a number of incidents and anec
dotes connected with Henry Clay, some
of which, on repeated recital to inter
ested listeners, I have been asked to put
ia' a -permanent form.
The following anecdote is illustrative
of his ^kill as'an orator ih seizing the
occasion, to convince a court, a jury and
an audience of the justness, of his cause
before he had made the speech:
About forty years ago, when some
of the dissatisfied legatees of a Mr.
Rogers in Fayette County, Ky.,'brought
suit to set aside his will, which involved
the -distribution of seventy or eighty
thousand dollars, Hon. John J. Crit
tenden was engaged by the dissatisfied
party to break the will, and Hon. Henry
Clay was engaged by the other side to
sustain it.
I had never Jieard before of the meet
ing of these political and forensic cham
pions in a legal contest,' and prob
ably they had never met in an inferior
court.
The interest of the popple was thor
oughly aroused as the time drew near
for the meeting of these legal gladitors.
The trial was held in the court house
at Lexington, the home of Mr. Clay.
The room was too small to accommo
date one-fourth of the people who had
gathered in the city to hear these giants
in oratory and the law argue this case,
so full of publio interest. They crowded
into" every available spot long be
fore the opening of the court and
there was no need for the sheriff,
to call "silence'* for every countenance
wore a subdued expression, and seemed
painfully burdened with a feeling of un
certainty as to the result of this contest,
and as evidently worried at the thought
of the possibility that the other great
Kentuokian might, defeat Mr. Clay in
the court house of his own country.
I was favored with a seat within the
bar,* and very near to Mr. Clay. The
assistant counsel made such statements
to the jurv as the occasion called for
and the closing of the case was left to
these two great competitors.
Out of the material on which he had*
to work Mr. Crittenden made one of the
most effective speeches of his life. I
have so often regretted for the fame of
the great orators of that day that the
art of shorthand Vtating-ted not "been
farther advanced, so that some of their
most brilliant efforts might have been
recorded foi^ the instruction and grat
ification of men in after times. It is
not possible, however, that any printed:
speech could convey to the mind the
personal presence, the attitudes, the
voice, the passion and the magnetio
power illustrated in their delivery.
During the process of Mr. Chitten
don's speech, Mr. Clay would occasion
ally ask his son Junes, who was asso
ciated with him in .practice, for a law
book, and finding his authority, he
would turn down a leaf for easy refer
ence, and lay it down with indifference.
When Mr. Chittendon had closed his
irgument, a painful, I might rather say,
sbnddering stillness pervaded the
court room. There seemed written in
every countenance the conviction that
the case was closed,—Mr. Clay's cause
was lost that he could, have nothing
effective to say, and that he was beaten
in his own city by his great compeer,
Crittondon. *He saw and felt tiie effect
that liad. been produced by his powerful
opponent. He saw the deep anxiety
which the dead silenoe indicated, and
his friends ready to weep at his appar
ent discomfiture.
With the sagacity of an expert in
pontroversy he at once determined what
to do, and that was to call back instant
ly the convicitons of his audience the
court and jury, and by mapner and
.action to ask them to hold their de
cision in abeyance until they heard
'from him.
He rose majestically.. I never knew
a man that could rise up .and sit down
with equal dignity and grace. His
small bluish-gray eye expressed the
vehemence with which his soul was
burning his brow was knitted and his
under lip quivering with intense emo
tion he raised his hand, and looking
upward, said, "By the help of God!
(then turning to' the judge) and the
pleasure of this conrt, before I resume
my seat, I intend to show the utter
futility and groundlessness of the ar
guments. assumed' by my honorable
friend in this cause."
In the expreesion of the words "fu
tility" and "groundlessness," he threw
his arms around towards Mr. Critten
den with a downward, gesture and rung
them out with a passionate emphasis
which thrilled every listener, making
them to feel that he knew his power
and fcow to wield it
What an adroit and skillful wav of
recovering the favor of a jury ana an
audienoe whose mind seemed mode up
•adversely to the pleader I What en ex
pert in rhetoric to begin his speech in
a reverential and supplicatory tone of
voioe, with suoh a phrase MI "Ky the
help of God" in addressing a court and
jury! Its necessity was doubtless seen
only at (he moment, seized upon, and
had the desired effect.
Every countenance, which before was
wreathed in sadness, was, now lighted
np with joy at the assurance that Mr/
Clay would sustain his reputation in
this causa, to one of tke grandest plead
ers and most astute lawyers in the land.
He based his argument maip.ly on the
premises assumed by Mr. Crittenden,
and as he progressed the result was
•v.
-V
^*2S8«irS
clearly, seen, for there scarcely ever was
before such a toppling over of a beau
tiful, logical and rhetorical structure
which Mr. Crittenden hns raised, and.
which seemed so perfect to the eye ol
the mere observer as to be indestruct
ible.
The jury went out and returned in a
few minutes with a verdict for'the Will,
and in spite of the orders of the court
audits officers the audience rose and
bursts in loud shouts of exultation. It
was impossible to restrain the people.
It was the reaction of the mind from a
painful state of doubt and apprehension
ur reference to the success of a man
whom they almost adored, to that of a
thrilling joy at a grand result. It may
be said that this demonstration was
clearly co-incident with tlja feelings of
the court, as no one was committed for
contempt. I f)

In the East they dedicated small
portion of the year to avowed idleness,"
and nothing is then permitted to dis
turb the halcyon of utter leisure. The
doors are shut even to friends. No one
goes in or out. The inmates of the
house are in their flimsiest tissues they
goufishod. The hawks sit nodding on
on their perches, the horses are idle in
the stable. The fountain splashes in
the court-yard, and the turtle doves
among the pomegranate trees lull the
garden to sleep with their sultry, slum
brous cooing. The interval is sacred to
the refreshment of the body. Gentle
midicines are taken of a relaxing and
blood-cooling kiyl. The hardest ex
ertion of the day is the bath its chief

the Suiishme he sees tha herbage whim,

shadows of the plants are gathered:
close abbut their roots. Bo he knows
it is noon, and turns around to slumber
again. The dogs are lying on their,
sides in the shadow of the hut, fast
asleep. From within the kraal there
is not a sound of life. High up in

clinging to a twig, the shrill-voiced
cicada cries all the afternoon through.
But the negro dozes untill ther evening

fears ago, when Gen. Ward B. Bur
nett returned from Mexico at the head
of his victorious troops, thousands
greeted him with approving shouts. *As
lie. passed through Troy, N. Y., the
school-children met him in procession
and showered flowers before his horse'
feet.' The other day, at the age of
seventy-four, he passed away in obscur
,ty, sickness and poverty, dying in an
bumble lodging at Washington, al
most unknown by his neighbors and
forgotten by the world. The Capital
tells apathetio story associated with his
death.
A touching little incident connected
with the celebrated case pending be
fore the congress, regarding the' re
duction of fif^y dollars per month from
tlie penBion allowed by government to
tho late Gen. Ward B. Bumett, for gal
lant services rendered his country, oc
curred on the day of hi» death.
The congressional committee were
seated in their room discussing the case,
hotly arguing for and against the brave
old soldier, .whether or not to re
store the spefcial pension, which to them
cotfld mean so little- but to
was fraught with such, weighty in
terest.
Suddenly ther were startled by the
unexpected entrance of Mrs. Burnett
Gazing around for an instant with a'
dazed, sorrowful air, she advanceda step
nearer, saying gravely, with wondroua
pathos in her voice,—
"Gentlemen, yon can fight ham no
longer he is gone."-
Then the brave-hearted wife burst
into tears. In the silence which fol
lowed. one or two ol the ecaimittee
moved uneasily or eoughed to hide
the emotion that could tiacdly ben
strained.

through, while the Btory-tdler drones
away in the corner like a bumble
bee in a scrape, and the cithara tinkles
one of the thin, monotonous airs of
-the East. Now and again he bestirs him
self—a kite shrilling far up in the blue
sky, a dog barking far off in the outer
dust has arqusfld him—and he solemnly
cites Allah as a witness that the day is
hot, and in the name of the pro^net
calls for a*sherbet of citrons. Such is
the Afghan holiday. Or, turn to Africa,
