LEGAL HONOR SATISFIED.
Continued from Eighth Page.

unusual care to save him from injury
because of the fact that he was a child.
As to whether the child had reached years
of discretion was for the jury to decide,
he said, as the law fixes no age limit in
civil cases.
The jury received the case about 7
o'clock. 1t was generally expected that
il would be out all night, and Judge Nor
wood left instructions that a sealed YER
dict be returned, if the jury should agree
and. that it be kept in the hands of the
foreman until court convenes this morn
ing. He also cautioned the jurymen par
ticularly against giving any information
as to the verdict.
The jury reached an agreement at 10
O'clock, after which the members dispersed
to their homes. They had been engag ed on
the case for two days, and were thor
oughly tired out. Those of the jurymen,
who were seen, declined to state what
their verdict was. but it was intmated
That it was in favor of the plaintiff for a
small amount. That the jury reached a
verdict so early is somewhat of a sur
prise. There was a mistral the last time
and the same result again would have
been no surprise.

GEE AND HAW.
a Good story Told on a Well Known
SaVannahian.

SaY0nnahian.
A party of gentlemen, who have recent
ly returned from six days cruise ana
fishing trip into South Carolina waters,
have a good story to tell on one member
of their party. The gentleman at whose
expense the yarn is related formerly lived
in North Georgia, where sloop yachts and
salt water are unknown.
When the party was organizing for the
trip the Captain" as he is generally
known to his friends, was the most en-
thusiastic member, and the day of de
parture could not come quick enough for
him. The first day out, however, he
manifested a great deal of anxiety about
his business" and gave other evidences
of being repentant for having left mother
earth for the briny deep.
As long as the yacht was at anchor or
sailing ON. an even keel the Captain
was the best fellow on earth, and took
a Keen interest in everything in sight, but
when beating to windward he lost his
bearings and denounced lacking as use
less and nonsensical waste Of time and
energy.
No amount of instruction could con-
vince him of the necessity of lacking
and he refused fatty to believe that il
was done for anything less than to see
him crawl on all tours to windward. II
this act he was immense. A turtle, how
ever vain, would have blushed with shame
at his remarkable agility and graceful
ness. He was the best swimmer on earth
yet no amount of persuasion could pre-
vail on him to get in the small bateal
to go ashore The party readily excused
him for calling a sea turtle a gopher
the boom a stick" the cabin a room =
the mast pole" and other like anon
allies, and all endeavored to initiate hin
into the mysteries of boat sailing and sal
water embryo, but their labors were TO
naught. He insisted in calling everything
by what he thought proper
A spade was a spade to him, and Their,
was no distinction between a painter,
"halyard," "top-llft," stay or othe
line-they were all one and the same I,
him, and there names were ropes" HI
had to be left to his own convictions
he was beyond redemption.
But here is the straw that really brok'
the camers back: Mr.. Blank" said tn
Captain to the skipper, while beating t.
windward one day, what tack do yol
call this?''
This is the starboard tack, and Is, il
this case. the right-hapd side of the boat,
replied the skipper.
when you come around what tack vii
that be?" inquired the Captain" again
THAT win be the port tack and the lef
side of the boat" was the answer.
We'll" said the Captain" you cal
call 1t what you d-n please. but wher
1 come from we call it gee and haw.'
This was too much for the crowd an
they ceased to further instruct the Cap
tain" and anything he said after tina
| went.

A Spiders Musical Ear.

From DR.. Wier's Dawn Of Reason"
During the entire summer until late in
the autumn a large black hunting spider
Q.ycosa) dwelt in my piano. When /
played andante movements softly she
would come out on the music rack and
seem to listen. Her palpi would vibrate
with almost inconceivable rapidity. while
every now and then she would lift her
anterior pair of legs and wave them TO
and fro and up and down. Just as soon,
however. as l commenced march or ga
lop she would take to her heels and flee
away to her den somewhere in the interior
of the piano, where she would sulk until
l enticed her forth with "Traumerel," or
HandeFs Largo"

WHISKY MADE HIM GAY.
And Secured Free Lodging for C. f.
Payne.

And Secured Free Lodging for C. f.
Payne.
c. F. Payne, a white man hailing from
one OF the interior towns of the state
was arrested yesterday afternoon for TAX
ing undue and unwarranted liberties with
Mrs. Ella Monroe, who keeps a boarding
house at No. 40 Congress street, west.
The man was drunk at the time he made
himself Objectionable.
From the confused statement that he
was able to give and the stories of the
witnesses who are familiar with the va
rious phases of the case, it would seem
that he wandered into the house of Mrs.
Monroe in search of lodging and without
the formality of a knock to announce his
coming. In one of the rooms on the ground
floor of the house he found Mrs. Monroe
asleep on a lounge. She started up with
a scream and Payne ran from the house
into the street, pursued by a Series of ter
rified yells and some of the neighbors.
One of them, T. A. Rhodes. arrested the
man some short distance away and took
him to the station house, where charges
of being drunk and disOrderly and the
more serious one springing from his ac-
lions towards Mrs Monroe were registered
against him. 1t is not thought that he
intended TO commit any crime, but merely
that the whisky he had imbibed had en-
iarged his bump of amativeness and led
him into an iudiscreIion for which the
Recorder, probably, viii give him full
cause of repentance.
Payne denies any intention of giving
cause of offense, and says that he merely
desired TO awake Mrs. Monroe and inquire
of her the price of board and lodging. His
statement is believed to be true but the
manner in which he went about accom-
plishing his purpose was far too clumsy
and seriously alarmed Mrs. Monroe. 1T
led, furthermore, to his securing lodging
without cost
