"OATH" ON CRISP.
Do Saturday George Alfred Town
-ehend, the widely known correspondent
of the Cincinnati Enquirer went to see
•Crisp for the first time, and his opinion
of him is given below:
“Gath'' is a severe critic, and seldom
compliments people, hence his good
words for Crisp have more than usual
significance:
“I looked !u at three of the aspirants
tube Speaker of Congress—Crisp, Me-
-MIHin and Springer.
“I did not go to see Mr. Mills, because
1 was tuld tbat be was hardly safe at
targe, imagines himself to be Mr. Cleve
land, and visits the wrath to come of
tils countenance upon all suspected of
not meditating upon his greatness from
the rising of the sun to the going down
thereof.
“Mr. Crisp, of Georgia, from the town
of Americus, is a person of good stature
—neither tall nor stout—with body and
face harmoniously trim, agreeable,
prompt; the easy, yet impressive man
oornlng forward like what is called the
pnbUe presence, or as 1 thought, the
light Apollo. Ha advanced Into a room
from an Inside room to speak to his
well-wisher, Senator Voorhees, and, not
knowing me, I had a chance to no e
his method and ezpreaston at leis
ure until presented. His face
Is refined, observant, keen,
yet placid, his complexion pale, bis fea
tures distinct, but nowhere coarse or
large, rather in womanly than Individual
beauty, and winning while dignified.
Had I been told that this was the Pres!
dent of the United States and should
have thought It natural enough. His
walk attracted me and his poise while
holding Mr. Vorhees' band. Clothed In
plain black, probably overworked, need
ing sleep, but relying on nature’s stimu
lation alone, he said In response that the
task he bad In band gave him no leisure,
and I thought intimated that the per
sonalities Interjected Into It bad been
unexpectedi When I was named to him
a quick Interest and surprise flashed Into
h's expression, and as he spoke I felt
another species of Blaine to be there.
No hesitation, "nor query, nor suspicion,
but a recognition from the republlc-of
bright Intercourse. “Why have I never
seen you before? Walt till this Is over,
however it go, and let us have an even'
ingl” Such a representative does more
to drive sectionalism away and restore
the Union of trustful men than a bun
died books, orators and resolutions.
“Georgia is the Empire State of the
warmer latitudes, because she basso
many men like Crisp, New Yorkers of
the Southern upland, men not to be Iden
tified as local to this or that State, but
presentable and impressive in any.
“Ametieus, where Mr. 1 Crisp studied
law, Is in the ssme county with Ander-
sonville prison. Forty years ago Howell
Cobb of Macon, fifty miles north of
Americus, was elected Speaker of Con
grass. A little northwest of Americus

Is the small county of Schley, with the f"
county seat of EUaville, where Mr.
Crisp's parents lived, and there he com
menced the practice of law at SI, In 1800.
In six years he was Solicitor-General of
that circuit, and, after public prosecut
ing for five years, went on the bench,
which he occupied five years, till nomi
nated to Congress at the age of 37, and
he has been In Congress ever since. No
ticket was pnt against him last time.
“This statement will show wby Mr.
Crisp has not been a bulldozer of any
body. He has seen the lost cause lost,
has awaited on the bench the leisure of
tho lawyers, standing for courtesy and
justice, has learned to look rather than
cackle, and so he speaks with weight
when he speaks upon reel occasion, and
knows more than be says. That region
of Georgia Is oornlng up In cotton mills,
and giving tbs varied appearance of a
nation, which raises something besides
cotton, hell and oratory. Mr. Crisp Is
twenty-four years ycunger than Gov
ernor Joseph Brown, twenty-one years
younger than bens tor Colbultt, a third
of a oentury younger than the Georgia-
rebel Vice-President, Stephens, thirty-
five years younger than Robert Toombs,
and Howell Cobb died when Mr. Crisp
was 23.
DIM) IV EXILE.
Friday night a simple cablegram an
nounced the death in Paris of Dom Pe
dro U, ex-Emperor of Brazil. His life
was a checkered and singular one, full of
vivid contrasts and striking incidents.
Born of the royal purple, be held the
Imperial sceptre of a vast and powerful
government, but a system poisoned with
numerous corruptions and rank abuses.
His enlightened patriotism and progres
slve spirit were restless under the tram
mels imposed by a seml-oiganlzed social
system, and he entered enthusiastically
Into devising means of correction and
reform. A thorough system of public
schools was established; polite letters
were encouraged and the ground-work
of s native literature was laid; slavery
was abolished; broad and beneficent
commercial relations knitted Brazil to
the United States; scientific researches
progressed under the sheltering eye of
royalty itself; and every force of modern
civilization was put in active operation
by the Emperor.
His beneficent sway finds a vivid par
allel in the golden era of the two Anto-
nines of ancient Rome, where laws equi
table and needful were most Justly ad
ministered. In bis variances with alien
nations his attitude was always firm
and judicious—conclliatoiy without a
a sacrifice of his regal pride or an offense
against the haughty traditions of the
imperial Braganza.
In 1880 the civilized world was
startled to bear that a revolution had
broken out in Brazil; that a Republic
had been proclaimed and that Dom
Pedro bad been deposed and banished
from the country that owed to him a
debt of the warmest gratitude.
How serenely and gently the fallen
potentate bore the loss of| his crown Is
kuown to all, and never was he known
to breatliejone word of reproach against
the country that he had ruled so long
and so brilliantly.
The loss of bis wife a few weeks sub
sequent to his deposition added many
gray hairs to bis venerable head and
robbed life of Its choioest inspirations.
What a moral Is crowded into those
three little words—king and exile. How
suggestive they are of the vanity of
human hopes or human pride. The
crown Is exchanged for the exile's staff
and the ruler of a vast country is forced
to court the thresh bolds of strangers—an
outcast from the people ot whose for
tunes he was the architect
Dom Pedro's life Is a pathetic one
that would readily paint a moral or
adorn a tale. Since his deposition he
has “lagged superflous on the stage;’’
and death may have been but a blessing
in disguise.
Vkhy beautiful resolutions were draft
ed at the recent Macon meeting of Geor
gia editors. But the enthusiasm there
manufactured haa not broken forth in
afay tangible form for the good of a state
exhibit at the World’s Fair. Talk is
altogether too Inconvertible in j the
way of defraying expenses. What Is
needed Is solid subscriptions In cash.
But they may come yet if we wait long
enough.—Savannah News.
For pain in the stomach, colic and
cholera morbus there Is nothing better
than Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and
Dlarrhma Remedy. For sale byW. C.
Russell, Amerions, Ga. decl-dAwlm.
Next to good character I prize printers'
ink.—Peter Cooper.
