On His Muscle.

THos. TOPHAT, the strong man,
was born in London, in 17I0, and was
bred a carpenter, but afterwards tray
eled on his muscle" He was a quiet
peaceable man, Of middle size and weight
made like other men except that the
usual cavities under the arms and hands
were, in his case, filed full Of muscles
The. wonderful stores of his feats OF
strength are well authenticated.
He could hold under perfect restraint,
and with ease to himself, the strongest
horse. He lifted a table six feet long,
with ffty pounds on the end of it, with
his teeth, and held It in a horizontal po-
sition a. considerable time. He rolled
up a pewter dish, weighing seven pounds,
with as much apparent ease as the
reader would roll up a sheet Of paper
lie held a pewter quart pot at arms
length and squeezed the sides together
like an egg shell.
lie lifted 2O9 pounds with his little
finger and waved it gently around his
head He lifted Mr. Chambers, a clergy
man, who must have lived on the fat of
the land for he weighed 374 pounds,
with one hand, Mr. Chambers head be-
ing placed on one chair and his feet on
another. At a blow he struck round
bar of iron one inch in diameter, against
his arm and. bent it like a bow.
One night, observing a watchman
asleep in his watch box, be picked up
box and watchman, carrying the load
with. the greatest ease, and dropped them
over the wall into Tindale burying
ground
A butcher once passed a large window
at which Topham was sitting. He
stopped down and took half an OK from
the fellows shoulders with so much ease
and dexterity that the man swore that
the devil had flown away with his beef
At race a man insisted upon driv-
ing upon the track; so Topham took
hold of the tail Of his cart and drew it
gently back, the driver whipping the
horse like a madman all the time
When he kept a public house two
men we're determined to fight him so to
satisfy them he seized them by the napes
of their neoks, and knocked their heads
together till he knocked all the fight out
of them
He astonished a sailor, who presented
him with cocoa-nut, by cracking it
close to his ear as you would peanut ;
and upon one occasion he lifted three
hogsheads of water. Once he threw his
horse over a turnpike gate, and at any
time could go through the manual Of
arms with the beam of house.

Personal Description of President johnson
by a Radical.

Hon JOHN D. BALDWIN, the editor
of the Worcester (Iass.) Spy is a mem.
ber of Congress and heard President
Johnson's famous twenty-second-o of Feb
ruary speech. He is an intense Radical
but describes the President as follows
"For the first time, I stood near and
looked closely on the man. In the
course of an eventful life I have seen
many men of willful power and force,
but never before have I looked on one
so thoroughly embodying the evil spirit
of revolution. It will not do to under
rate Mr.. johnson He is terribly in
earnest; and withal most vindictively
cool A thoroughly paced demagogue,
his inconsequental logic, his egotisnl, his
repetitions, his thorough belief in him
self, and bis popularity, are all elements
of strength when he faces such assem-
blages as were arrayed about him yester-
day. Andrew johnson is an able man
ho1o able, I never realized till yesterday.
All results are involved in his policy
Had he a Cabinet as able and desperate,
the dire result which the near future
would bring could hardly be named now.
We stand on the verge of fierce strife,
to meet which the country should gather
its strength and grid up its loins This
man is no weak Buchanan, and he means
to crush Congress or be crushed.
Mr. johnson is a man Of stalwart
mold. Just above the middle stature,
he is so broad d-sheuldered, firm set and
deep-chested as almost to seem below it.
He has large head. 1t is-a compact
home for his fiery will and brain His
face is marked; strong oval outline, pow
erful underjaw, well.defned but rather
sharp chin wide, straight mouth, full
flexible lips, skin coarse In texture but
firm, complexion swarthy. hair coarse
black, streaked with gray, a nose small at
the root, but full and large at the nos
trils, which expand and lift as hespeaks
broad, roomy forehead, beetling, bushy
eyebrows, beneath which are a pair Of
the coldest hazel gray eyes 1 ever saw in
human head. These are the outlines
of Andrew johnson.
p" His voice is clear, harsh, powerful
and penetrating. When he seems speak
ing with most excitement, leis evidently
the coolest man in the world Watched
him with awakened interest of one who
felt the magnitudeof the crisis the speak,
ing was creating, and am convinced thai
all be said was weighed and measured
and meant to briag about certain re.
suits.

with the following gem from Mr.. Sprague,
THE distinguished Senator from Rhode
Island, uttered on Tuesday last
Mr.. ,Conness-7Mr. President, I OBJ

Missouri asks another Senator whether
he will speak, and that Senator rises and
smiles, and says he will, after having
tired the Senate with speeches on the
subject, If the Senator from Rhode
Island has speech to make, let him make
1 it but he should not triAe thus with
public business.

and expect to tire him still further !;
not for the purpose of tiring him, how

my seat here, to smile. I consider the

Rhode Island statesman that e The face
that will smile only when IL sees some
thing to cause it smile isn't the face for
him. And can anything be conceived
more truly poetic, and, at the same time,
more full ef sweet and beautiful simple
itY, than the advice that everything be
discussed in a @friendly and smiling
condition" Happy Sprague to have a
b" face that win always smile thrice
happy Senate to discuss everything in a

Senator hopes that he will always occupv

Those who know him do not doubt it for
a moment His reputation for smil-
ing is already well established, ana al
though his: smiles sometimes, in their
exuberance. interfere with his health
it is plain they can never dim the luster
of his intellect.

Good Liquor

TIE Radicals, in. their assaults upon -PIesi-
dent johnson, charged that he was drunk
when he made his 22d Of February speech.
Granting that the charge be true, we enter
tain the same opinion Of the Liquor he drank
as did President Lincoln of thatwhich Grant
drank. During the war some Congressman
waited upon Mr. Lincoln, and urged him to
remove General Grant, assigning as a reason
that he was in the habit of drinking as rea-
son that he was IN the habit Of drinking
whisky. 9
"AhlP said Mr. Lincoln, aand do you
know where he gets his whisky, gentlemen 2''
No, we do not"
" I'm sorry for that, +" was the Presidents
reply, " tor if you could tell me I would send
a barrel Of the same whisky to every Gener-
al in the army
Itwouldbe good thirg for the country
if every Radical Congressman would get
drunk, and stay providing they drank
the same liquor President johnson did.

that mules are not only the most sagaeious Of

do things on purely scientific principles. A
drove Of two hundard Of these large-minded
beasts were brought to the Illinois shore op-
posite the city, and it was concerted that the
best way to get them across was to start them
on the ice and let them walk over. As soon
as they reached the ice, instinct taught them
that they had embarked on dangerous Jour
uey; instantly, the Oldest mule in the drove,
one, too, that had never been in. a circus, and
had no education, took the lead, and one at
a time the whole two hundred " fell in {" and
followed their leader in single Gle, with safe
distances between, and thus stretching them
selves into long line, they crossed the nv
er. The circumstance wrs Witnessed By
number of gentlemen, who were impressed
