There were visions OF all sorts of winter

In all the world there was no land where

had been increased by the tribute of conquered

be is known to have deposited in the temples

ANDREW JOHNSON, OF TENN.-A SKETCH OF HIS
LIFE AND SERVICES.

Andrew johnson, OF Tennessee. was born
in Raleigh, North Carolina, December 29th
1908 When he was four years of age be
lost his father, who died from the effects of ex-
ertions TO save friend from drowning. At
the age of ten he was apprenticed 10 tailor
in his native city, with whom he served seven
years. His mother was unable to afford him
any educational advantages, and he never at
tended school day in his life.
While learning his trade, however, he re-
solved TO make an efJrt 10 educate himself
His anxiety to be able to read was particular
.ly excited by au incident which is worthy OF
mention A gentleman OF Raleigh was in
the habit of going into the tailor's shop and
reading while the apprentice and journeymen
were at work. He was an excellent reader
and bis favorite book was volume Of speech
es, principally of British statesman. Johnson
became interested, aud his first ambition was
to equal him as reader and become familiar
with those speeches. He took up the alpha
bet without an instructor; but by applying to
the iourneymen with whom he worked, he OBJ
tained little assistance.
Having acquired knowledge of the letters
he applied for the loan of the book which he
had so often heard read. The owner made
him present of it, aud gave him some in'
struction on the use of letters in the forma
lion OF words. Thus his first exercises il
spelling were in that book. BY perseverance
! he soon learned to read, and the hours which
he devoted to his education we're at night az
ter he was through his daily labor upon the
shop board. He now applied himself TO books
from tive to three hours every night, aftel
working from ten to twelve hours at bis
trade.
Having completed bis apprenticeship in the
autumn of 1924, he went to Laurens Cour
| House, s. c., where he worked as journey
man for nearly two years While there HI
became engaged to be married, but the mattel
was broken of by the violent opposition o
the girls mother and friends the ground o
objection being Mr. JOhnson's youth and wan
of pecuuary means. In May, 1926, he re
turned to X leigh, where he procured journey
work, and remained until September. Il
then set out to seek his fortune in the West
carrying with him his mother, who was de
pendent on him for support. He stopped a
Greenville, Tenn, aud commenced work as
journeyman. He remained there about twelv

EAGTS IN HISTORY,

When you hear Copperh Is chlrgng the
Rebellion upon the Republicans, confront them
with these truths of history:
l. The Rebellioa-was inaugurated IN der Il
Democratic National Admiuistration.
2. 1t was conceived and nla4ufed under Dem
ocratic auspices.
g. 1t had its nucleus and headquarters in
the Democratic Cabinet of Buchanan.
4. It's chief instructors and engineers we're
leaders of the Democratic party in Congress
and Government Departments.
8. It's principle agents abroad were Demo
cratic Ambassadors and CoDsuls, serving the
cause of treason under pay.
6. 1t had been 10 progress for months before
MIR. Lincoln was inaugurated
Z. Seven States had gone out of the Union
before the Democratic Buchanan had left the
Executive Chair.
s. War had been declared by the insurgents
10 firing upon the Star of the West long be-
fore the present Administration came in pow
er.

Instances are common OF the most affective
separations Of family relations by this unnat-
ural war. Brothers, and even parents and
children are found in the ranks OF the hostile
armies. One of The most touching cases OF
this kind is that of a son of the Confederate
President Jefferson Davis, who is serving 10
the National cause on the gunboat Caronde-
let, fighting to crush the rebellion which his
father is leader Of The Davis juniOr is the
son of Eliza, late slave to the palriarchal
Davis. An officer Of the army at Vicksburg
who had heard of the fact, verified it from Eli
zA's lips How much sharper than serpent's
tooth must be The grief Of that parent whom
uurelenttug fate compels TO take sides against
his own sou in a war for freedom.

months, married, and soon afterward went still
farther westward; but failing to find suitable
4 place to settle, be returned to Greenville and
commenced business.
Up to this time bis education was limited 10
reading, as be had never had an opportunity
of learning to write or cipher; but under the
instructions of bis wife be learned these and
other branches. The only time, however. he
could devote 10 them was in the dead Of night.
The FIRST Office that he ever held was that of
Alderman of the village, to which he was
elected in 1928. He was reelected to the
same position in 1929 and again in $780, In
that year be was chosen Mayor, which posi-
tion lie Leld for three years.
In 1885 be was elected to the Legislature.
In the session of that year he took decided
ground against scheme of internal improve
meHts. which be contended would not only
prove failure, but entail upon the State a
burdensome debt The measure was popular,
however, and at the next election (l837) he
was defeated. He became a candidate again
in 1889. By this time many of the evils he
had predicted from the internal Improvements
policy, which he had opposed four years pre-
vious, were fully demonstrated, and he was
elSCl6O Oy d large DbJOIUys
In 1910 he served as presidential elector for
the State at large on the Democratic ticket.
He canvassed a large portion of the State,
meeting upon the stump several OF the leading
Wing orators. In l84l be was elected to the
State Senate. 10 1843 be was elected to Con-
gress, where, by successive elections be served
until 1853. During this period of service he
was conspicuous and active in advocating re-
specively, The bill for refunding the fine i'm
posed upon Gen. jackson at New Orleans, 10
1885, the war measures of Mr.. Polk's admin
istratiOn, and a homestead bill.
In 1853 he was elected Governor of Tenues-
see, after an exciting canvass, in which be was
opposed by Gustavus A. Henry. He was re-
elected in 1855, after another active contest,
his competitor being Meredith p Gentry. At
the expiration of bis second period as Govern
or, in 1857, be was elected U. 5. Senator for
a full term, ending March 3, 1868.
Ever since the outbreak of the rebellion,
Gov. johnson has been the stern and uncom-
promising enemy of the sIaYe oligarchists. As
Senator of the United Staies as a public
speaker in behalf Of the Union, and for these
many months past as Military Governor of
bis own State, he has vigilantly and efficiently
wrought in our holy cause and scored his name
high among the earnest workers on hehalf of
the imperrilled Republic.-C Chicago Tribune.

He touched the little bell by his side 1t was
answered by a gray-haired old porter.
"Stilson, tell Mr.. Marbury to ask the young
men in the office if they know anything OF The
John Merlin who had little account here two
years or SO ago..
"Please, sir" said Stilson, "he lived in my

clenched itself unconsciossly. "What was the

"Well, sir" said Stilson, respectfully, ''yor

The banker looked up, rather surprised a
the hollow tones of despair in which the cain
words were spoken.
"Mr. Merlin must have been dear friend

"IIe was my father"
Indeed p echoed Stilson. Then the it'll
