menseIy. After awhile it struck the
people of the Fifth Alabama District,
that the Judge would make satisfac-
tory representative in Congress, so he
was elected, and in due season, came to
the nations capital as legislator. The
first morning otter his arrival, the
judge slept b little later than was his
custom, and when he got down stairs,
there was quite crowd in the hotel
office. With stately men. as had always
been his custom, ths judge paraded
around bowling 10 everyone. aud occa-
sionally stJpplug to say, "HcW-do-vou-'
do, sah?" The silence that met him
disconnected him considerably, and his
wrath almost flowed over a. the ignor-'
ance displayed by the crowd. So to
p event an explosion, he resTeated to
nts room while the astonlshed guests
wondered who Oh earth that ultra
polite luDatlc was. Tue Judge says
that Washington is a very nice place.

are some pretty good people in it, but

SICK ON THE FOOR.
One of the quiet, dignified characters
OF the House, Judge Stewart. o,
Georgia, was taken suddenly, but not
dangerously i'll on the floor of the
House, on Wednesday last, and a great
deal of sympathy was felt and expressed
by every member who knows him. He
Is better now, and his smooth voice is
once more heard addressing members as
Brother" So and so. No other Con-
gresham uses this prefix, and no one
would dare trespass on Mr.. Stewards
preserves, although there are several
ministers in t! e House whose service
in the whey ard a1tedates that of the
Georgian Baptist preacher. A session
OF the Judiciary committee when he is
present reminds one of a preachers
meeting, as the Rev. John D. addresses
the chairman as Brother Cuiberson."
or requests Brother Hynton," the
clerk to the committee. to band him a
document he may need. Personally. he
is most agreeable gentleman, and he
has widespread and intimate &C
quaintance with the south and its peo-
pie. He is Georgian by birth, was
school teacher in his early youth. ard
at the same time studied law. Wher
the war broke out, he was probate
Judge of Faye:te County, but when his
State seeded, he took up arms and
aided the rebellion as lieutenant and
captain in the Thirteel,h Georgia
regiment. Then he entered the Iegisla-
tuTe, and in 1871, was ordained min
lister of the Baptist Church. He has
been mayor OF his native town, and
judge of the Superior Court, and is now
trustee of two universities. When he
makes his maiden speech. he will be
listened TO with attention, for the
chances are that he will address the
speaker as Brother Carlisle"
MoDJEsKA.
Modjeska's engagement here last
week, recalls an incident in that lady's
career which occurred in Buffalo,
nearly ten years ago. Modjeska ap-
pearing in the role of Juliet in the
Academy of Music, one Friday night,
during the winter of 1873 8. Friday
was the night always selected by the
medical students OF the University of
Buffalo for a visit to the theatre. On
this occasion, there were sixty or more
OF them in the peanut gallery. Mod
jeska had reached the poison scene,n
and the audience was wrapped in ad-
of the actresses talent. Just
at that point where the cork Is drawn
from the phial of poison with which she
is to end her existence, the whole per-
Torrance was ruined, fer as Modjeska
removed the cork, there came sound
from the gallery as of toy pistol shot.
The author OF the noise was little
student named Pomeroy, who came
from Fort Dodge. Oak. He had placed
his finger in his cheek. and then drawn
it out ia a manner well-knoWn to the
average swal boy. The audience
caught on" and applauded loudly but
Modjeska lost her temper. She flung
the phial into the wings, and stalked off
the stage. The curtain was rung down,
and the house was in decided CON-
motion. Manager Mech and half
dozen policemen rushed upstairs to ex-
psi the offender. Where is he? Who
did iT?" inquired Mr.. Mech.
There he is" said the doorkeeper,
pointing to the student. There is
sixty of him."
Of course, there was nothing to be
done with that gang, so the attacking
party retired.
It was fully half an hour before the
rate actress could be induced to return
to the stage. ut was not the act of the
man in the gallery to which objected"
said she, "but was disguised to think
that the intelligent audience should so
far forget my acting as to applaud
that interruption"
