\ RsDysaL'S DESCRIPTION OF THE
 PRESIDENT.

The Hon. John D. Baldwin member ol Congress from Massachusetts, writes this description of Andrew Johnson and his late speech. Baldwin is of the Sumner Stevens stripe in politics 8la
 * "What the President said is before the country. How he said 1t, my poor words may fail to tell. For the first time stood near and looked closely on the man In the course of an eyentful life have seen many men of willful power and force, but never before have looked or one so thoroughly embodyiug the evil spirit of revolution. It will not do to un- derrate Mir. Johnson. He is terribly in earnest, and, withal, most yindictiveiy cool A thoroughly-pa demagogue, his in consequential logic his egotism, his repc- titions, his thorough belief in himself, and his popularity, are ali elements of strength when he faces such assemblages as were arrayed about him yesterday. Andrew Johnson is an able man--how able, never realized till yesterday. All results are involved in his policy Had heia Cabinet as able and as desperate, the dire results which the near futme 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 gird up it's Joins. This man is no weak Buchanan, and he means to crush Con- gress or be crushed. ICY Haslg'ldf
 z "Mr Johnson is man of stalwart mind. Just above middle stature, he IS so broad -shouldered, firm set, and deep-chest- ed, as almost to seem below 1t He has a large head. It is a compact home for his fiery will and brain. His face is marked, strong oval outline, powerful under jaw; we'll defined but rather sharp chin; 2 wide, straight mouth, full flexible lips skin coarse in texture but firm, complex ion swarthy, hair coarse black, streaked with grey, anose small at the root, but fal and large at the nostlils, which expant and lift as he speaks, broad roomy fore head, beetling brushy eyebrows, beneatl which are pair of the colde t, hazel gre. eyes I ever &aw in human head; thes are the outlines of Andrew Johnson

Useful Hint to MouSekeepers and
 others

An article in tho late number of an En fish magazine, on the subject of the fract- ure of polished glass surfaces says:
 It is a fact known to the philosophical instrument makers, that if a wire be drawn through glass tube, few hours afterward the tube will burst into fragments. The annealed glass tubes uscl for the water gauges of steam boilers are sometimes de- stroyed in this very way, after the act of forcing a piece of cotton waste through them with wire, for the purpose of clean ing the bore This will not happen if . piece of soft wood is employed t
 The late Andrew Ross informed me that on one occasion, late in the evening he lightly pushcd piece of cotton wool through number of barometer tubes with piece of cane, for the purpose of clearing out any particles of dust. 'Tke next morn ing he found the tubes broken up into small fragments, the siliceous coating of the cane proving as destructive as he had pre- viously known a wire to do
 In these times, when glass lamp chim. neys are in such wide use, it is of no little importance that this fact should be known. Thousands of persons who have been in. the habit of using wires, table !
 \ forks, and variety of metallic articles in the washing of these chimneys will, in the above stated fact, find the reason of their chimneys so often snapping to pieces on a glass lamp.
