Senator Wilson, don't think the

The Last Hours Of A. ].

The close Of Andrew Johnson's
administration is vastly like that of
James Buchanan's. The only NOM

wards endorsement of Grant at Au-
burn, Just before the late election, has
had something to do with the con-
lict.
AS the end approaches, Andrew
johnson will have ample time to com
pare notes with himself He may

course would terminate exactly like
theirs. His last chance for self-yindi-
cation will be presented in the com
ing annual message, wherein il he is
half as candid as he has been perfdi.
Gus, he may ut least rescue himself
from utter shame by confessing that
his administration has been as great
a blunder, and nearly az great a crime
as the rebellion itself. Timo generally
sets all things right but it is not Of

plete the circle of his own follies and
trausgressiou in so short a period,
aud to be tried and condemned be-
fore he has reached the tribunal Of
impartial posterity. Andrew John
son might have been his own success
or in the Presidency, He has been
his own retribution. The historian
needs no other materials to complete
his administration than the realization
of Andrew Johnson's predictions of
the fate Of treason and of traitors, in
the catastrophe that has overwhelm-
ed himself and his plans.-PhiladeL-

influence Of Newspapers.

A school teacher, who has been en-
gagged for long time in his profession
and witnessed the influence of a news
paper upon the minds ofa family of
children, writes az follows:
/ have found it to be the universal
fact, without exception, that those
scholars of both sexes and of all ages,
who have access to newspapers at
home, when compared to those who
have not, are:
l. Better readers, excellent in pro-
nounciation, and consequently read
more understandingly.
2, They are better spoilers, and
define words with ease and accuracy.
3. They obtain practical knowl-
edge Typography inSalmost halt the
time it requires of others; as the news
paper has made them acquainted with
the location, to tho important place,
Of nations, their government and
doings on the globe,
4. They are better grammariaus.
For having become so familiar with
every variety Of style in the news
papers, from the commonplace ad-
vertisement to the fnished and class
ical Grafton Of the statement, they
more readily comprehend the mean
ing of the text, and constantly an
alyze its construction with aeoura-
cy.
5. They write better compositions,
using better language, containing
more thoughts, more clearly and
more connectedly expressed.
These young men Who have for
years been readers OF tho newspapers
are always taking tho lead In the
debating societies, exhibiting a more
extensive knowledge upon a great
er variety Of subjects, and express
ing their views with greater hnency,
clearness and correctness in the use Of
language.
