A SKETCH oF CRISP.

While his parents were on a visit to
Sheffield, England, in 1915, Charles Fred
erick Crisp was born there Jan. 20. They
brought him back TO Georgia the same
year. In the common schools Of Savannah
and Macon his education was chiefly ac-
quired. In 1851 he entered the confederate
army as lieutenant in Company X OF the
Tenth Virginia Infantry, where he re-
mained until he was taken a prisoner to
Fort Delaware in 1854. After the war he
studied law and was admitted TO the bar at
Americus in 1866. In 1877 10 was ap-
pointed solicitor general for the South
western judicial circuit, and In 1878 he
was reappointed for full term of
four years. In June, 1877. he was appointed
TO fill an unexpired term on the bench of
the superior court of the Americus circuit
and was subsequently elected for the follow
ing full term to the general assembly. In
1878 he was elected to the general assembly,
and in 1880 he was reelected judge. That
office he resigned in 1882 to accept the
democratic nomination for congress. In
the following April he presided over the
democratic gubernatoral con invention of
Atlanta. since the Forth-sighth congress he
has been regularly re eelected up to the pres.

An Important Decision by the United

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA case OF consid.

the United States supreme court to-day.
James III. s. Josephs, passenger on the
New Orleans and Northeastern railway, be.

injured him. Josephs sued the company for
damages. The testimony as to the clrcum-
stances Of the shooting was conflicting.
The railway company asked that
tho jury be instructed that IL from
the manner and attitude of the passepges
the conductor had reason TO fear an assault,
and shot under belief that he was In immil

company was not responsible. fhe court
denied this request and Josephs obtained
judgment for 81 600. This court, In an

In the House.


A heavy rain storm which visited the
city this morning had little effect In
dampening the ardor Of persons desirous Of
witnessing the opening of the Fifty-second
congress aud at an early hour a great
crowd surged through the corridors OF tbs
capitol Especially was this true In the
House wing, where there was no vent "a
relieve the crowd owing TO the
fact that the galleries were kept
closed in order to enable the democrats TO
hold their caucus. The utmost good feel-
ing prevailed, however, and the marble
stairs were lmprovisei as seats by the pas
tient walters. Hardly had the caucus ad.
1ourned when a wild rush was made for the
galleries, aud 10 a few minutes every availa-
BILE seat in the long benches was occupied
aud less fortunate spectators were compelled
to viewlthe scene over.each others shoulders
from tue door recesses. Some complaint
was made that the members' gallery was
open some time before the others.
ON THE FLOOR.
On the floor all was hustle and confusion.
As the republicans entered the hall Of the
house where the democratic caucus had
been held they were greeted by their demo-
cratic colleagues and congratulations and
condolences were exchanged. The hamber

with the new terra Gotta carpet. Many Of
the desks were ornamented with flowers
with more or less beauty, although they
were not as numerous as In former years,
aud the speakers desk was conspicuous by
the absence OF adornment The Handsomely

CALLED TO ORDER.
As the clocks Of the city were Ginning the
hour of noon Clerk MCPHERSON assembled to
the clerks desk and called tine House to or

has any hold over clerk IA performing
similar duty faced 80 many new workers in
the legislative field. The clerk immediately
proceeded to call the roll.
AS ex-Speaker Reed responded to his
name, his republican colleagues gave him a
round of applause. There was great deal
OF noise In the hall, and 1t was with diff
guilty that the clerk could record the
responses. The candidates for the speaker
ship wandered through the chamber and
greeted their friends, while much amuse-

The Attornex,. Dog

A Boston lawyer who resides in the
suburbs is the owner of dog that GER
tainly possesses the instincts of an attor-
ney- The other day he saw another dog
carrying off tempting looking bone
A second dog followed at short dis
tance. The lawyers dog quickly con-
ceived plan of action worthy of an en-
inent legal mind. He Immediately
brought action against the dog with the
bone. The third dog at once quickened
his pace, and lost no time in instituting
supplementary proceedings in his own
behalf. This assistance proved equiva-
lent to decree for the plaintiff, for the
lawyers dog left the third dog to bear
the brunt of the litigation, and seizing
the bone fed to his own kennel, where
possession was truly nine points of the
law.-Boston Traveller.

A Daring Argument.

A quick witted and daring western
lawyer once saved a guilty client from
sure conviction on a charge of poisoning.
1t was proved that the poisoning had
been done by means of certain cakes, a
portion of which was produced in court
When the counsel for the prisoner had
finished his speech, he said: ''And these,
gentlemen of the jury, are some of the
alleged poisoned cakes. We declare to
you. gentlemen of the jury, that they
are not poisoned cakes. They are as
harmless cakes as ever were made, and
in order, gentlemen of the jury, to show
you that these cakes are not poisoned, l
will eat one of them right here in your
presence"
And he did eat one. He took good
care, however, to leave the room at the
earliest opportunity, and to make bee
line for an adjoining room, where he
had an emetic in readiness and an anti
dote. But the jury never heard about
the emetic or the antidote until the law
yer's client had been acquitted. San

Our Sun a Star.

Most young folks now know that the
difference between night and day on this
planet of ours arises simply from the
fact, that among the innumerable multi
tude of stars there is one infinitely nearer
to us than all the rest; being SO much
nearer to US that when we see it we have
day. When by the earth's movement
on its axis the sun has set in the west
we have night; at which time we depend
for light upon the more distant stars
unless, indeed, the moon is shining.
In the main, it is true that the enor-
nous difference in the intensity of the
light that we receive from the SUN in the
one case, and from all the stars seen at
night in the other, depends upon the fact
that the sun is the star nearest to us, and
the other stars are suns infinitely re-
moved.-J. Norman Lockyer in Youths
Companion.

To Measure the Sea Level.

A new apparatus for measuring the
mean level of the sea has lately been in
stalled at Marseilles. 1t is based on the
principle that when liquid wave trav-
erses a capillary tube ora porous parti-
ton, its amplitude dininishes and it is
retarded in its phases without the mean
level of the wave changing. It consists
of a glass tube, the lower end of which
communicates by flexible pipe with a
plunger which is lowered beneath the
lowest water level. There are two cells
in the plunger, the lower being filed
with sand and open to the sea, the result
being that the column of water in the
tube rises and falls very little with the
tides, and the mean sea level can be read
from a graduated scale.-New York

AN ANCIENT FARM HOUSE.
What the French Hostelries Were Like
During the Middle Ages.

What the French Hostelries Were Like
During the Middle Ages.
The houses of the farmers and the
country people differed then as now, ac-
cording to their rank and prosperity,
and also according to the district they
inhabited. The yeoman farmer. and
even the well to do husbandman, dwelt
in solid house of brick or stone, tiled
or slated, with paved yard separating
it from the barn and outhouses, the dai-
ry and cattle pens. The farm house
which in England was always construct
ed with southern aspect-as invariably
faced the east IN Aquita1ne, while to the
rear well open to the west was a long
tiled veranda, where in winter after
Moons the hemp picking, the wool card
ing, etc., were done.
Within the vast kitchen glowed in the
light of the fire-almost as unextinguish-
able as the vestal virgin's-peat, coal and
wood were each abundantly employed,
and for trifing rent, generally paid in
kind, the lord of the manor would per
NIT the farmers on his land to cut their
turfs from his. bog or their boughs from
his forest. Fuel was not only actually
but relatively cheaper in the middle
drained in those days, the forest covered
great expanses, and the cost of carriage
made it almost impossible to transport
their produce. In almost every shire of
France and England the supply of fuel
was in excess of the demand.
This hospitable fire fiared up Chin
ney proportioned to its size, lighting the
huge brick oven, the iron firedogs, the
Ill l.
drons, saucepans, mortar, tin pals and
other utensils that stood on the brackets
of the hearth, and irradiating the brass
and copper pots, the metal candlesticks,
the lamp, the lantern, the not unfrequent
silver beaker, and the glass drinking
cups that were ranged on the chests and
cupboards round the walls. Near this
fire stood Il high backed settle, the mas
ter's corner, and under the great mantle
of the chimney narrower benches were
set in the brick.
Within easy reach of the hearth deep
oak chest held the logs for burning. It
was generally matched by a handsome
wedding chest with carved or painted
front, long enough to contain grown
person full length, but more usually filed,
it must be admitted, with the best clothes,
the trinkets and the savings of the house
hold. The registers of the chatelet record
no crime so common as the breaking open
of such wedding chests; and it is surpris-
ing how many clasps of jewels, girdles
of pearls, golden headdresses and rings,
and purses full of gold were stolen from
quite humble households. Our fore
fathers invested their capital in cups
or trinkets of precious metal, pretty to
look at, easy to hide, and readily con-
verted into cash when necessity demand
ed sacrifice. Fortnightly Review.
