The larger number of members lived in messes, a species of boarding-club, over which the owner of the house occupied usually presided. The National Intelligencer of the day is sprinkled with announcements of persons prepared to ac commodate a mess of members. Lincoln went to live in one of the best known of these clubs, Mrs. Spriggs's, in Duff Green's Row, on Capitol Hill. This famous row has now entirely disappeared, the ground on which it stood being oc cupied by the Congressional Library.

Giddings of Ohio, and Elisha Em bree of Indiana. Among his neighbors in messes on Capitol Hill were Andrew Johnson of Tennessee, Alexander H. Stephens of Georgia, and Jefferson Davis of Mississippi. One of the members of the mess at Mrs. Spriggs's in the win ter of 1847-1848 was Dr. S. C. Busey of Washington, D. C.
