Big Brindle.

In Nashville, many years ago, there
resided s gentleman of great hospitality,
large fortune, and though uneducated,
possessed of hard, knotty sense. Col.
w. had bean elected to the legislature,
and had also been Judge of the county
court.
His elevation, however, had made him
somewhat pompous, and he became very
fond of using big words. On his farm
he had very large apd mischievous OK,
called "Big Brindls," which frequently
broke down his neighbpr's fences, and
committed other depredations, much to
the Colonel's annoyance.
Ono morning after breakfast, in tho
presence of some gentlemen who had
stayed With him over night, and who
were now on their way to town, he called
to his overseer and said to him.
"Mr. Allen, I desire you to impound
Big Brindle, in order that | may hear no
more animadyersions of his internal dep:
relations.
Allen bowed and walked of, sore puz-
zled to know what the Colonel meant.
So, after the Colonel left the town, he
went to his wife and asked her what Col
onel w. meant by telling him to impouhd
the OK.
qWhy," said she, "ths ColoRel meant
| to tell you to put him IN o pen."
Allen left to perform the feat, for il
was no uncomfortable one, as the animal
was very wild and vicious, and after q
great deal of trouble and vexation, be
succeeded.
"well," said he, wiping the prespira-
tion from his brow, and soliloquising,
''this is impoppding, is it? Now am
dead sure the Colonel will ask mc if ]
impeanded Big Brindle and III bet III
puzzle him as bad as be did me-"
The next day the Colonel gave dip
ner parry, and as he was not aristocFatie
Allen. the overseer, sat down with tbs
company. After the second or third glass
was discussed, th3 Colonel turned toward

Ex-Governor Johnston.

Fifteen yeats ago there was no man in
Pennsylvania whose leadership the party
opposed to Democracy would have so
willingly and so devotedly followed as
VIM, +. Johnston He was our first Ex.
ecutive of modern times who sought to
impress thepeople an d policy ofthe State
with the genius of Freedom, and he sacri-
feed himself in 1851 by his fidelity to
bis convictions. He then filed the full
measure of his great manhood, aud with
stood the efforts of the second accidental
President (Fillmore) to make the nation
forget its sacred mission for the elevation
of the human race. He retired though
defeated, still more beloved and revered
than was his successful competitor, who
had climbed into the chief magistracy Of
the State by discardiug his own record,
and prOstitutipg himself to the insolence
of Slavery.
But ambition saHetimes toys with the
mightiest minds and drags them down to
founder in pitiable inbecility. Such is
the history af Wu. F. Johnston. OF all
others, he should have been faithful; but
he could not wait the fullness of time for
the people to vindicatc him, and he war
red with fate. Had he bowed to the
Storm Of prejudice that swept him down
for time and calmly awaited the noon
tide of the dawning day, there is no po-
sition in the government that he might
not hare attained. But his follies t9ger-
ed side by side with his great ability,
and he became the play-thing of little men
and at last the least Of little men himself.
He could not. accept the tide as il came,
and when the whirlwind Of 1854 swept
the Slavery leaders from power, 1t left
In behind-henss when o. s. sspa-
tor vas to be chosen he had 40 PLACE in
the contest. Mortified and humiliated
by the just judgement Of his party, he
repeated his folly in 1856, when he sought
and obtained sideshow nomination for
the Vice Presidency, and held it as his
stock in trade 10 barter for position and
power. Finding no contracting parties
and no substantial support, he declined
| lust when he had no party to tranAr,
and lost both principal and interest in the
investment. In 1860 another great strug-

BY placing his personal prejudices above
bis political convictions, and in 1864 he
naturally enough landed in the Cleveland
convention of sore beads in good season
to learn that be had gone waoling and
must come home sheared. He tried in
vain to make himself a candidate for Cop-
gress--a position bis people would have
been proud to call him to had he been
true to himself--and his last demonstra-
ton upon the Union party within its lines,
was for the Slerkship of Congress in 1868,
but he was practically without supporters
and younger and truer man won the
place. Thus disappointed in every effort,
Gov. Johnston, in q fit of the maddest
desperation, resolved to espouse the cause
Of his Presidential namesake, who was in
diligent search for men of easy principles
and violent ambition. Gov. Johnston
repaired TO Washington; made political
speech IN defense of the President, and
thereby Won q nomination for the posi-
tion Of Collector Of Revenue for the 2sd
district. He paid the price, and he sup
posed that he had the profered Office;
but an unappreciatiug Senate has doom
ed him to another diisappoipiment by re-
jecting the nomipation, ostsnsibly bo-
cause he does not live in the district, but
in fact, we do not doubt, because the
Senate will not sanction the ostracism of
faithful men for political camp followers
to crafty perfdious Executive.
Gov. Johnston has had uapy bitter les
sons, but none so bitter as this one, He
has deliberately sown to tho wind and has
ever reaped the whirlwind, until now,
from the first man of his mighty Com
monwealth, he has fallen so low that
there is none to do him reverence. The
true Union men Of the State have regard
cd his petty freaks Of unbalanced smbi-
tiop with sorrow rather than anger, and
they do no. reiOics that be has fallen
from his high estate; but they do With
one accord, pronounce "a just the retrib-
utive stroke that has prost,stsd him. To
find the aVsrshsdowing leader Of the
hosts of Freedom in 1851, falter and fall
among the struggling political mesdicsnts
Of ,hs FOO ia 1900, and tLore rsap nought
but disappointment for his degradation,
is fate we could have wished for many
others than VIM. r. Johnston; but since
he has chosen that pat. and a tborps and
sne bitter fruit of the seed he
planted. Smaller men are treading the
same way with him, but to most Of them
the charity of forgetfulness is easily ex-
ercised, and they leaye no monuments ss
warnings for others as they pass away
Gov. Johnston has rendered better ser
vice to mankind than his humber com
rades, and however costly, it may be some
consolation to him in his disappointment,
that he has pointed moral that will not
be lost to his race.
