rßxAs OBITUARY NOTICE.
Texas was formerly the ilk:tatty Bay" of the
Waited suttee, and consequently her early set
tlers were of the dare-devil, coarse and illiter
ate class. The following obituary speech is
said to have been delivered in the Texas Legis
lature a few 3 ears since :
"'lt seems there was a member belongtng to
it by the name of Dill, who seceded from that
body while it was in session, the inducing cause
of his secession being typhoid fever and a leek
of wind. On the day which followed his de
cease, Mr. Oherken, a member, arose to an
nounce the melancholy fact to the House.—
Another member of that body, named Maker,
was the chronic opponent of Gberken in all
matters of legislation, from a cambric needle to
to sheet anchor, and never neglected a chance
to give him a shot. Mr. Oherken, after a
pause, said:
" &Mister Speaker! I have rm in my seat
for the purpose of informing this yer house
that Solomon Dill, a member of this yer body,
'whose seat ill now unfortunately vacant, has
tell a victim to the grim and destroying tyrant
'who yesterday put an end to his career, and
that Are is now dead at the house of the widow
Jones, on the hill, where he and many members
yer house boards, who gave him &Mo
tion throughout a lengthy and consequently
protracted typhus fever, and who furnished
beard and lodging to the members of this yer
legislature at the uniform price of four dollars
and an'af a week, weeitieg not ineluded 1 It
Ain't with feelings of no ordinary regret, that
I make this yer communication to this yer
august hocy, Mr., Speaker, for I knowed the de
ceased and knowed him from Ato Ward I He,
like all other men, had his faults, and who
ain't got!em? If he was not strictly virtuous
among females, who is? I put it to you and
this yer august body to answer? He may have
been slightly addicted to whiskey, but who in
Texas ain't ? and so let that man shy the fust
rook.
"'He may have been quick to use his tools
— 7 -but who in Texas ain't ? But he never draw
via a weapon if he wasn't mad ! People say
lie didn't pay his debts. Who does in Texas,
.N.lrSpeaker ? Among his virtues, he was fond
of encouraging the breed of that noble animal,
the 'beet, in the extensivest manner, and Mr.
Speaker, conscientiously attended every race
within twenty miles of this yer place, and in a
gentlemanly manner back'd his opinion onto
oertain events in the future to the extent of
his ability. He was a good citizen, an honest
man, and a perfect gentleman, and in his mel
ancholy disease society has lost a bright orna
ment and this yer House, but more especially
over the domestic circle of Mrs. Jones, where,
as I said before, board and lodging is furnish
en to the members of this yer house at a uni
form price of four an'af a week, washing not in
eluded, Mr. Speaker,'
'•Mr. Slaker here darted np, saying that he
4 arose to a pint of order.'
"The Speaker requested the honorable mem
ber to state his pt:4.'
" Mr, Sinker said:— 'ls it in order for a
meinber of this House in his speech onto a
dead man, to ring in a boarding-house kep'
by his snot and furisbed by himself
"The Speaker decided the pint' to be not
well taken, and, after a withering glance at
Siaker, Mr. Gherkeu proceeded :
" 'This is -too solemn a time, Mr_ Slaker, to
notice personalities and side marks. I'll see
that his mutton is cooked hereafter, and not on
