MENTAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PREsr-
DENT. S. b." the Washington corresDon-
dent of the New York World, gives the follow
ing description of Mr.. johnson in his commu-
nieative moods:
In those hours when the voice of the politi
cian Is silent in the halls Of the White House
ana there IS an interval OF peace and rest, he
VINO happens to sit alone with the President
can discern something of his unmasked nat
ural SELF Then he discloses what boiling
cauldron OF emotion, heated by a steady patri-
otto flame, his heart is. Then his attachment
to principle is revealed in the discussion of
Whatever grave subject may arise. Absorbed
in an interesting theme he often quits his
seat and walks rapidly to and fro across the
room. de talks quickly and spasmodically.
1t is curious to remark that while the main
idea iu his mind is as clear TO il as daylight
the process of reasoning from the idea is slow
and fitful. He seems to find it dificult- first
to define his thought and its relatives based
on or radiating from the idea perfectly to him
sell, and next, to condense his thought into
concrete sentences, He perseveres until he
has succeeded at last in making it plain to
his hearer. This inaptitude tor condenslng into
lew words on the instant the thought that he
desires to express is probably the chief reason
why many OF Mr.. Johnsons extemporaneous
speeches are so open to criticism. Give him
time, and his brain, whic IN tolls by itself sys-
temaucaily like powerful machine, will
evolve an argument pointed, condensed, and
admirable. Witness his state papers, which
are conceded by several OF his most preiudiced
enemies to be specimens of logic and diction
worthy TO be compared with those of Madison
and Jefferson. = I
The last suggestion loses something of Its
force from the well-known fact that Mr.. john
son does not write the messages which appear
with his signature.

A STRANGE SToRY.-The Liberty (Texas)
Gazette publishes the following marvellous
story:
In the Grand Cane neighborhood, in this
county, short time ago, a gentleman In the
depth of the forest suddenly came upon
woman as wild and almost as fleet as an un-
tanned deer. After brisk chase of some dis
tance, the gentleman on horseback overlook
the wonderful creature, when she halted, and
he found hrr to be medium-sized, middle-
aged, well, formed woman, with long, dark
hair, and clear blue eyes. She was in |, state
OF nudity, save girdle of gray moss. Her
body and limbs were covered with a beautiful
coat OF haIr about four inches in length. She
was much frightened and seemed unaole to
talk, but must have comprehended signs. as
in reply to motions of the gentleman by which
he sought to induce her to accompany him
out Of the wood, she constantly pointed to
her forest home. Finally, the gentleman en-
deavored to compel her to go the way he de-
sired by getting befo. e her, and by threaten
irg gestures with his gun, and she becoming
enrased, seized a club and turned anon him
with the fury of a demon, and it was only bv
the speed impaired to his steed by the libera,
use OF the spurs that he kept out of her wav.

Is she President Crax,>

Ihe New York Sun, edited by Charles A
Dana, who was at one time Assistant Score,
tary of War under Staatan- -has-a A s1..; ...A---
--.-4~-ev prove mat Andrew johnson is the
victim OF insanity. The counsel employed Ia
defend him on his trial are advised to pAad
insanity, as that is all the defence that can bv
any possibility prove successful. The Sun
says:
Andrew johnson is remarkable man
Born IN INDECENT circumstances, and meyer
naving enjoyed any advantages of education
u IS SAID that he was even taught to write by
his WI e, after their marriage. For a mau
setting out thus in lite, to reach the position
at middle age, of a Senator of tine United
States, shows him to be possessed OF more
than ordinary capacity. The industry and
perseverance OF Mr.. johnson, and the ability
which ne displayed commanded respect and
aumlration. When the civil war brske out
ne TOOK the side OF his country, and soon be-
came man OF mark in the border State in
which he resided. He was thrown into a
whill OF continual excitement, well calculated
to dis. urb the equilibrium OF the BRAIN Tbe
habits OF his section of country in regard to
the use OF liquor are free. and he was not an
exception to them. His intense LOYALTY pre-
vented very close scrutiny OF his conduct by
friends while he was Governor Of Tenles-
see; but his speeches and his official meas
ures We're characterized by great violence.
In the excitement OF the war Mr. johnson
was nominated Tor Vice-President. A candi-
date from Southern or central State was
wanted, and he was taken. After his nomin-
a'lou, he made speech demanding the i'm
mediate expulsion of Maximilian from Mex
lco. we had one war ON our hands at the
time, and the government did not deem Il an
opportune moment to undertake another
Apprehenslons were entertained that thu
speech, which could Go no good, might EN-
barrass onr relations with France. President
Lincoln was greatly annoyed. 1t is some.
thing quite unusual for candidate for Vice
President to indicate new policy, especial,
without conference or communication on the
subject with the candidate for President
Preston Kings testimony is then cited to
prove that it took but single glass of wine t,
bring about the incoherency OF his inaugurs
ton speech in 1865. Mr.. King was with hin
during the entire day. His speeches on th
ed of February, 1866, and while swinging
;round the circle are also referred to in tb,
| same connection as further evidence of an un
sound mind. We think the writer goes lit
tie too far in the following paragraph:
He has been subjected to intense and long
continued excitement Wine NAV have bal
its part; and the disreputable pardon broker
| age business points to other indulgences: Will
those who are acquainted with the signs O
that most seductive of all agencies of excite
ment and OF madness, fancy that they see ir
| the peculiar roll and glare, and frenzy OF hi
| eye, the expression Of opium!

SMoKING.-The habit of tobacco-smoking is
increasing among EnglIshmen. In 1871 the
9uantty OF tobacco cleared for consumption
in the United Kingdom amounted to but thir-
teen and three quarter ounces per head OF
population. In 1865 it amounted to twenty
one ounces per head. The Pail Mlll Gazette
remarks that in London twenty years ago,
nobody with any p-etentions to the charac-
ter of a gentleman would have been seen
smoking in the streets; nowadays, everybody
smokes when and where he pleas save in b. Q
wife's drawing-room and at church; and in the
best clubs the rooms are now given up to the
smoking members of the community"
