President Johnson's ChiIdhood and
PareutaRe.

President Johnnon's Childhood and
sa. Percentage. .E.
Andrew johnson was born in the up
per story of the kitchen attached to a
buIlding known as "Casso's Tavern, -
or which his mother was housekeeper,
or stewardess, on the night of the 29th
OF December, 1903, Adaughter of Mr..
Casso, the proprietor Of the hote:, was
married to a merchant named Stewart,
in the early part OF the evening, and
the dance in honor OF the wedding was
progressing at the time he first saw
light. The bride, who lived to a good
old age, and died u few years ago,
dressed the newcomer in his swad4
ding clothes. His father, Jacob john
son, died few years afterwards, not
from the result of injuries received in
saving the life of friend, as has been
toni The family were known as
"Rham Ratters," because they lived
in a locality called "Rham KATIE"
which is, suppose, a corruption of
the word "Ramsgate." They were of
English descent, aud came TO this coun-
Try as la6oreTs on military road which
was built In 1924 by Colonial Gov
ernor Tregen, from New Berne to Sails
bury. The original generation were
honest, ard-wOrking laboreIs; but
having no money wherewith to buy
stores, the second generation were de-
graded into what Is now called "piney
woods poor white trash" class Of
people who have no principle, energy
or manhood about them, who have
lived for generations in the tumble
down log huts built by their earlier
progenitors, with the bare earth as a
floor, and who have no visible means
OF support. Mrs. Johnson, his mother,
was woman of rare ability for one of
her class, and through her influence
Jacob Johnson, his father, was induced
TO obtain labor in the city OF Raleigh,
and when he died, she apprenticed her
son Andrew, then about ID years old, to
merchant tailor, named James Selby.
James Litchford, who is yet alive. was
tnen cutter or foreman OF the Shop"
ne says that Andrew was not good
boy, ana yet not bad one, and tells
many Interesting incidents Of his boy
hood. The rest OF his history is well
known TO the world at large, and It is
only necessary to add that the people
here, although they have obsequiously
built monument o,.br his fatheris
grave, remember only the part of which
I have written above. They look mon
him as a poor, white trash tailor bow
yet, and always will.-RdIci1h. NJ. q

Particulars of the Death of Judge
Mcdowell.

[From the Leavenworth Daily Times, July Isl
A party of Kansas citizens met at the
Southern Hotel, in St. Louis, consisting of
Governor Carney, Mr.. Stellings, Judge
Burnett, Judge GambelL DIR. Scott, and
Messrs. Speer and Spriggs. Mr.. Stillings
states the facts as follows:
At $3.50 they started in the coach for the
depot, on the 18th. AS it was crowded,
Judge Mcdowell volunteered to ride with
the driver. When nearing the depot, ow-
ing to sudden lurch of the coach, the
Judge fell directly forward, one of the
wheels passing half over his body and rest
ed. Back, back, driver" cried some of
the passengers, who saw the Judges sad
position; this was done. With help, Judge
Mcdowell walked to the pavement and
rested in chair. He looked as if dying.
Cold water was dashed into his face and he
revived little. "Where are you hurt 2"
asked DR.. Gambell. His reply was, I'm
my bowels" and then his forehead was cold
aud his hand pulseless. A physician
thought he would recover from the shock,
and so the party, except Mr.. Gambell, left
him. 1t proved to be a death shock. Only
few minutes passed, and the Judge
breathed his last. -r-...

The Song Writers Heard From.

The man who sang, 81 am lonely since
my Mother Died." isn't quite so lonely
now. The old man married again, and his
stepmother makes it lively enough for him.
The one who asked, "Who will care for
mother now,' has finally concluded to take
care of the old woman himself, as no one
else seems inclined to.
The disconsolate one who sings, "Have
you seen my Maggie?' has heard of her.
Another felier informs him, through the
music store, that "Maggie's by my side"

Insane Folly.

Not week passes, but some accident, or
death meets our eye in glancing over the
papers, from carelessness in the use of in
fiammable materials. The last case is that
of a Mrs. Fay, who was horribly and fatal
ly burned by attempting to light fire in
the cooking stove, by pouring in oil. Every
now and then we see cases of this kind,
and yet no warning is taken by foolish
people who will still attempt to fill lamp
with oil while burning, or pour the fluid
on coal and other fires to make them light.
Another equally fatal folly is that of care
lessly handling fire arms. We should like
to make the pointing of a gun or pistol,
whicl: is so often 'playfully done,' Peni-
tentiary offense. More people have fallen
victims to this idiOtic sport, than could
possibly be supposed, and yet men and
boys rarely, if ever, see a gun or pistol in
room, but they amuse themselves with
soaring the women, by mock pretense of
shooting them, when it accidentally" dis
charges, verdict of unprovoked murder
should be rendered, and the criminal dealt
with cordingly.-Zanesuille Times.

large end produced fair-sized ears, with

Sailing Stock.

$50 far as | know" writes q retired
farmer, but an attentive reader of our
paper, stock growers are very generally
following in the footsteps of their fore
fathers, by occasionally giving stinted
quantity of salt to their stock. In the
Summer they often throw it on the ground,
in the pasture, and being so starved for
salt, the stock will often eat the ground
because of its being impreguated with
salt One of the greatest errors nov
practiced by our stool; growers, is the
neglect to give Their stock the requisite
amount of SILT. should as soon think
CT stinting my stock with wafer as salt.
My mode of salting for number of
years has been to keep q sufficient guam
:ity of salt in trough in my pastures
and yards, so that my stock may have
free access to it, and eat of it as often as
they wish, and as much as they wish, al
ways keeping up the supply, think our
stock know better than we do when they
want salt and how much they need. They
as we'll know when they want salt as they
do when they want water, and when they
have eaten all they crave. they will eat
no more. When they have grass in the
Summer they will eat salt every day.
Cows will give more and better milk 0y
having free access to salt than when de-
prived of it. A great share of the dis
eases among stock, is in consequence of
their being stinted with salt would
caution not to give free access to salt at
once, but increase the quantity by degrees
for about two weeks, otherwise they may
be starved for salt and cat so much as to
injure them."

South Carolina, that there are at least
100000 miles of rail fence in that State,
requiring s or 5000 rails per mile, val.
ued at $50, which gives for the value of
all their fences, the enormous amount of
five millions of dollars! And the State
interest being 7 per cent, and the annual
decay of such fences being l3 per cent,
or their duration only seven years, the
annual interest on the sum thus invested,
is 90 per cent, or one million of dollars.
The calculation for this State would be
much larger. And our proportion OF
this immense outlay of capital is incurred
solely to allow our stock the benefit of
proverbially poor range. The amount
thus invested in fences equals perhaps the
full value of our stock; and if the labor
of splitting rails and repairing fences were
withdrawn and applied to the crop, it
would increase it sufficiently to purchase
the larger part of the meat for the entire
plantation consumption, while, if the ne.
cessity of keeping up extensive fences no
longer existed, We might dispense with
our immense reservations of lands, lying
idle otherwise than to supply timber for.
for rails.
In addition to the above sources Of
manure, must not fail to alIude to night
soil as the most valuable of them all, and
which might be more readily collected
and applied to use by Planters; than is
generally supposed. 1t is nearly as good
as Guano, without costing as that article
does the transportation of 5000 miles.
Prejudice, | know, will preclude its gen.
eral use among US for while, but when
we fairly begin the scheme of manuring,
and acquire, as we certainly will do,
sort of enthusiasm in the accumulation
and preservation Of all fertilizers, and
learn that this one is universally saved
and applied with the greatest results, in
the best agricultural countries, | am sure
that it will be as carefully kept, and be
far more highly appreciated than stable
manure is now.
To be continued in our nert.
