Andrew johnson.

AS the period OF his Presidential career
is rapidly waning to its close. we are forci
bly, reminded of the sententious uttsrance
OF Plutarch, in his description of mankind's 8
usage: 'tMore worship the rising than the
setting SUM-" But few months past, and
his name loomed up in every diurnal sheet,
and every tongue spoke praise or censure
1t was household word for diatribe OF
eulogy. Now, as the Portsmouth Iva.
Transcript pointedly remarks, there are
none so poor as to do him reverence, and
he vanishes from public gaze and atten tion
the illest used and best abused occupant of
the Chief Magistracy of the nation. In
his retiracy into private life, we of the
South do proffer him peoples gratitude,
for his manly and gallant defence of our
best interests, aud his unfinching resist
ance to legislative aggression. Standing
almost alone and unaided in the mainte-
nance of the principles and integrity of the
Constitution; against the assaults of re-
volutionary and empowering foe; he pre-
sents to our mind an example of the high
est patriotism, which few can parallel and
none excel, Let him go, with the solace
that, although history may not accord him
o tardy justice, he has nobly won the honest
guerdon of the South. "WeA done, thou
good and faithful seruant" .

The storms in Great Britain, at the begin
ming Of February, have exceeded any SINH
lar events for long time past. The loss Of
life was very great. Some of the principal
streets of the city of Cork were from three
to four feet deep in water. The traffic on
the lines of railway on both sides of the
river Lee. on which Cork is built was
stopped, the rails having been submerged,
and several breaches were made in the
Queenstown direct line. At Youghal, the
sea broke over the railway, destroying por
tion of the station, overturnipg wagons,
making serious breaches in tho permanent
way. Part of Queenstown is also under
water

RETRTBUTIvE JUSTICE. The Knoxville
Press and Herald says that the days of
miracles have not passed away. Some
months ago. the Rev. Mr.. Neal, minister
of the Methodist Church South, was tied to
tree and flogged. while on his way home
from church. The perpetrators of the out
rage we're not arrested, but, says the Press,
"a stronger power than that which admi-
n1sters human law has brought retribution
upon them. Out of the entire number of
ru6ians, three have since died, one was re-
Gently thrown from his horse and received
injuries which are believed to be mortal,

by his prosecutors, has been smitten by the
same unseen, but ever-watchful power, and
is dead"

Although the Spanish revolution was
almost bloodless, yet in its great results it
strongly resembles the French revolution.
A total revulsion seems to have taken place
in society. The places of the Grandees and

years ago, were BARRIERS and Wallets. The

BURNING OF CHURcH-We learn from
the Macon Telegraph that the Methodist
African Church, in that city, was destroyed
by fire on Friday morning. It is thought
to have been fred by an incendiary. The
building had been in dispute between the
Northern and Southern Methodists, and
had been taken possession of by the Sheriff
aud delivered to the latter. They had held
their first meeting in it on the night prior
to its destruction.

Double lines of railway, third rail in
single lines and various other devices have
been suggested and tried for the purpose of
arranging through freighting facilities from
the Atlantic sea-board to the Western inte-
rior without breaking bulk This has finally
been accomplished by very cheap, and OF
course, simple invention. Last week, q
train of twelve cars loaded with merchan-
die for Chicago, st. Louis. &C., started
from Boston, ria the Grand Trunk and con-
Meeting lines. The wheels are made to shift
on the axle to the width of any required
gauge, being fixed in the necessary place
by keys. which are easily removed when it
becomes needful to shift gauge at any sta
tion. large number of cars are in con-
struction on this plan, which can, of course,
be applied as we'll to passenger as to freight
carriage. 1t looks like another "leap
ahead. "-Neu York Times.

MOTLEY. The New Orleans Crescent says
OF a debate in the lower House of the Lou

no less than four languages spoken in the

such q multiplicity of tongues, was Chill

After considerable pro and con. had been said
Mr.. Guigonet, from Avoyelles Parish. asked
permission to address the House in French,
which being granted. he proceeded to de-
liver Gallo discourse, utterly and entirely
opposing the measure. The wild boy of
Lafourche, known to the world as Murrell,
then took the floor, and in lis simple and
untaught eloquence advocated in the
Ashantee dialect, varied occasionally with
choice extracts from Congo and Abyssinian
writer's on the subject, the passage of the bill.
Up to this time, the House was filled with
shouts of laughter, for Notwithstanding the
seriousness of the subject, the discussion
which it evoked was too sublimely ludcrous
not to excite mirth. But then Mr.. Reng

Richelieu didn't want his young secretary
to have anything to do with 'fail." Told
him there WAS no such word fairly in the
dictionary. If everybody only believed it.
and acted accordingly, there would be no
such thing-or rarely. It is true Richelieu
never kept dry goods store or o grocery,
nor run daily newspaper, but the princi-
pie of the thing he preached is sound and
good. No young man should fail. espe-
cially when lie wants to get the heart and
hand of some young woman.

poses:

po9ged pcrpendicularly upon his brow,
mogc of it would run off the back of his
head than off his face. His organs of in
tellection, if he ever had any, have vaca-
ted and taken up their abode in the pos
ten of part of his brain which makes the

PROGRESS IN TURKEY.

We have taken occasion to note the
facts indicating that for nation long
supposed to be moribund, Turkey is
adopting some extraordinarily lively and
progressive measures. A law just pas
sed ordains universal education of the
people on a very comprehensive basis.
Every village and district must have its
primary school, and each religious de-
nomination may have its own, but the
attendance of children will be compelled.
Girls as we'll as boys must attend. Nor
NAL schools are instituted for male and
female teachers. The studies of the
higher primary and preparatory schools
include Turkish, Persian, Arabic, French
arithmetic, geography, history, geome-
try, natural history, political economy.
The population of the empire numbers
about forty millions-erough for first
class power-and that there is ''liie in
the old land yet" is pretty well proved
by this educational law. There are sicker
men in Europe to-day than the Sultan,
and with the infusion of liberal modern
ideas among his people, his power should
be, and probably will be, greatly in
yigorated.-Sacannah Netcs.

immense circle built to accommodate ten
thousand people was crdwded-not a
f0ots' space was lost. 1t was living
bank of human flowers brilliant with all
hucs and radiant with Georgia loneliness.
The hippodrome contained.eight or ten
thousand. The grounds ouside were
thronged. The Laboratory building was

THE RADICAL LEGISLATURE OF AEA
BAMA

The Montgomery Mail thus describes
the Radical negro Legislature of that
State, which assembled in Montgomery
on Monday last. The editor says:
The Legislature convened yesterday
in regular session, at p a. m. All the
thieves, penitentiary convicts, Yankee
bummers, bigamists, BARRIERS and shoe
blacks were IN their seats. Had there
not been present a score of true Alabam-
ians, in the shape of the little band of
Democrats, the concern might have been
mistaken for a lunatic asylum or pcni-
tertiary. The Assembly may be gen.
orally characterized as low proved and
empty pocketed. 1t is suggestive Of
wharf-rats, pluguglies and sneak thieves.
Tobacco spittle trickles down from the
corners of its mouth. Crow-feet radiate
from the contracted eyes. The skin is
drawn tightly over its nose. Its brooches
are greasy. Its boots are unblacked, it
smells of cheese and 0dOr u aji'lqme.
