The scene on March 1, 1865, when
Andrew Johnson 6:sgraccd himself.
and almost degraded the high Office
he was elected to fill, I have heard
related, without restraint, b. a gentle
man TO whom Vice President Hamlin
told it. 1t runs thus:
Mr. Hamlin was in the room known
rs the Vice Presidents. about eleven
o'clock, when theVice President elect
arrived. There was nothing unuslalir
his appearance except that he did not
seem in robust health. The usual
courtesies being exchanged, conver.
sation proceeded on ordinary topics
for few minutes when Mr.. johnson
asked Mr.. Hamlin if he had any liquor
in the room. stating that he was sick
and nervous. He was told there was
none, but it could be sent for. Brandy
being indicated, a bottle was brought
by one Of the pages. 1t was opened,
tumbler provided, and Mr.. johnson
poured it about two-thirds full. Mr..
Hamlin said, in telling it, that if Mr..
Johnson ordinarily took such drinks
as that, he must be able to stand q
great deal. After few minutes the
bottle was placed in one of the book
eases out OF sight.
" hen near I2 O'Clock, the sergeant
a.-arms, Mr.. Brown, came ithe door,
and suggested that the gentleman get
ready to enter the chamber. Nj. Ham
lin arose, moved to the door near which
sergeant-at arms stood, and suggested
to Mr.. johnson to come also. The
latter got up and walked nearly to the
door, when tarningto Mr.. Hamlin, said
Excuse me . moment" and walked
back hastily to where the bottle was
deposited. Mr.. Hamlin saw him take
it out, pour as large quantity as be-
fore into the glass, and drink it down
like water They then went Into the
Senate chamber.
What followed will not soon be for
gotten. The foregoing | believe to
be correct version of show Andy

An Indian Idea Of the Telegraph.

Tell him that Beaver.
His countenance assumed a most
comieal expression, but he made no
remark, until the officer again asked
him to repeat what he had said, to the
Camanche. when he said
No captain: | cannot tell him that,
for | don't believe that myself.
Upon the officer assuring him that
such was the case, and that he had
seen it himself. he said:
