five hundred year. Becoming involved
in debt, he sold half Of the estate, and let
the remainder to an industrious farmer for
twenty years. About the end Of the term
the farmer called to pay his rent, and ask

farm. "Will you buy 1t p asked the own

claim the right to speak of Andrew
johnson in this way, for | have some reason
to know the man. We canvassed the State
in 1858 for Governor of Tennessee. There
is more resistance in him than any other
man l ever encountered. The harder he
was pressed the higher he rose under the
pressure, and it seemed to me the heavier
he was loaded the lighter he ran. The
greater was the obstacle I threw in his way
the more triumphantly did he clear it at
bound. His powers were never fully de-
veloped till We got down to our work sin

was no easy job. He beat the Hon. M. P.
Gentry, for Governor, who had never been
beaten before =; and "great, let me call him,

will be the fate of any Radical that opposes

AN ExcEpTloN.-Foote, the commedian,
travelling in the west of England, dined one
day at an inn When the cloth was remov-
ed the landlord asked him how he liked
his fare? Il have dined as we'll as any man
in England, said Foote. Except Mr..
Mayor cried the landlord. Il do not ex-
cept any body Whatever said he. But
you must bawled the host. q won't
you must
At length the strife ended by the land
lord (who was a petty magistrate) taking
Foote before the mayor, who observed it
had been customary in that town, for a
great number of years, always to except
the mayor, and accordingly fined him a
shilling for not conforming to this ancient
custom. Upon this decision, Foote paid the
shilling, at the same time observing that
be thought the landlord the greatest fool in
Christendom-exoept Mr.. Mayor.
