Andrew Johnkon the Radical Terror

The Radical papers are terribly exercised
at the prospect Of Andrew Johnson's election
to the United States Senate They fear his
treuchant logic, his outspoken, clustering
honesty, and above all, his inveterate hostility
to the Radical leaders, who were his bitter
enemies in the Gays of impeachment. Some
of them predict with undisguised terror that
he will becomel'a leader and not follower"
in the Senate. OF course he will. johnson
has nothing to GLOW except the peculiar views
which made so harked chapter in the hiss
tory of his dsclt tsing days of power These
views he has since ventilated ON the stump,
and will no doubt urge with sledge>hammer
force from his place in the Senate. That he
will go there the results of the Tennessee elec-
tion have made a'-sess fixed fact. 1t is no
wonder that Andy Johnson's presence in the
Senate Chamber should be q terror to the
Radicals but then he is very likely to be
sent there by his fellow-citizens for all .hat,
and we hope he will. a little leayen Of An
drew Johnson's spice viii do that august body
no harm, whilst his wholesome ventilation of
many public questions, such as the limits of
legislative authority, the privileges of the
Executive, the reality of the Constitution, to
say nothing of the farcical phrases ofimpeach-
ment, and will undoubtedly prove very inter
estiDg and idstructiye to the people at large.

Canning Fruit,

As the season of fruit is just commencing
anything that will enable it to be successfully
canned at small expense, will very much pro-
long the season. Only those who have tried
it know the satisfastion derived from eating
dish OF peaches in midwinter Us fresh as when
gathered. The annexed method Of canning
fruit was furnished to the New York Farmers
Club by Mrs. Powers, of Oswego Co., New
York:
will suppose your fruit and glass cans arc
all ready. prefer cans with glass covers
1 scald the fruit ID a large tin pan with juice
or water to cover it. Put half tea-cup of
cold water into every can, and gil up with
hot water; put the covers and rubbers also
into hot water. Now empty can and fill up
with hot fruit, and then another:
Let them stand open until the hand can be
held upon them without burning. As soon
as filed cut writing paper the size of the can,
one for each, and when cool slip one over the
fruit entirely, and fill up the can on top of tho
paper with boiling juice, and seal at once
Ladies, try this way; the fruit will never
mould, and will keep any time, if you don't
eat it. The papers keep the frEitfrom rising
to the top of the liquid. There is no use OF
setting cans into water to beat them, or OF
putting them in quilted bags; 1t is too trouble
some [ let the fruit shrink, and then fill up
to the cover as close as possible. Ladies must
be governed by their own common sense.-
Men attempt to give directions, but their
wives have to tell them and then they arc
likely to forget.

Hen Cholera.

A correspondent, writing to the Iowa De-
partment of Agriculture, says:
My chickens have been dying of cholsrs
for the last two years-even turkeys have died
of the same disease. When / notice the hens
begin to droOp and look sleepy, l give them
three or four tablespOOnfuls of strong alum
water, and repeat the next day. also mix
their feed (say Indian meaD with strong ainm
water, feeding twice day for two or three
days-afterward once a week. Since DOM
mencing this practice have not lost any.
Another gentleman, Triting to the sluie de-
partment, says:
Take two eggs, one tablespoonful of finely
pulyerized alum, and sufficient quantity of
flour to make a thin paste, and force the
chicken or turkey to swallow portion of tho
mixture, and there are two chances to one that
it will recover. have used this remedy for
two years With success. have also used
alum, once day, in their food as apreventive.
when this disease is prevalent Fowls should
never have access to swill tubs or any other
kind of sour food. ''

A Sad Speech.

One of the saddest and most touching
speeches that we have ever read is that of the
venerable poet, William Cullen Bryant, at the
late Commencement of Williams College
Being called upon to speak, at an annual din
ner, he said:
''It has occurred to me, since I, in the de-
cline of life, came to visit once more this seat
of learning, in which our youth are trained
to succeed US on the stage of the world, that
l am in the situation of one who standing on
q spot desolate with winter and dim with twi-
light, should be permitted by sort of mira
Gle to look upon a neighboring region glorious
with the bloom of spring, and bright with the
beams of morning. On the side where stand
are herbless fields and leafess woods, pools
sheeted with ice, frozen soil md the mead
ows of approaching night. On the side to
which l look are emerald meadows, fields of
spripgiDg wheat, orchards il bloom, transpa-
rent streams, and genial sunshine. With
me, it is too late for any hopeful tllage, and if
the plow were put iHto the ground the coulter
would be obstrueted by the ice-bound sods.
On the side to which l look l see the tokens
OF judicious cultivation and careful tendents,
recompensed by free and promising growth.
l rejoice at the kindly care thus bestowed,
and my hope and prayer is, that under such
auspices all the promise which meets my eyes
may be amply fulfilled, and that from these
Iuxuriant fields harvest may be gathered,
richer and more abundant than has ever yet
been stored in the grauaries Of the land.

A Boy Lost at Sea Turns up Alive
After Many Years.

Some years ago, says the New Orleans Pc
oy,tne, gentleman named Paul Eseott, res
ident of New Orleans, but formerly living in
France, lost his little son, lad of ten years
of age, from vessel off the Canary Islands
1t was night at the time, and although every
possible cIertion was made to rescue the boy,
vet were not successful, and the little fellow
was given up for lost Shortly afterward the
family came to New Orleans, and in time the
grief of the parents for the loss of their son
became only sorrow living in their memo
ries. lie was dead they thought, and grief
could not bring him back to life. But he
was not dead. lie had got possession of one
of the planks thrown out to him, and although
missing his friends, was picked up the next
day by an English vessel. In this ship he
made the voyage to China. and failing to COM
municate with his family on his return, con-
tinued in the employment Of the vessel for
several yeara. st last, learning the where:
abouts of his family, he reached this city in
quest of them few day since The Joy on
the appearance of one they had long con-
sidered dead, can, as the noge!ists say, be
more easily imagined than described. 1t was
like one risen from the grave, and discloses a
series of incidents as fruitful of romance as
often engages the pen of the novelist and es
sayist.

a Grayestone.

Widow Maria Spoor, of Bellingsworth, has
recently sent the following epistle to one of
oar prominent mortuary sculptors
You were pointed out to me the other day
as the man who makes gravestones. l want
stone for my late husband, Hezekiah Spoor
l want large stone, as he was very large
man, say two feet wide and eight high
His age was sixty-Dine years, nine months
and seventeen days, had he lived till three
o'clock in the morning, but as he died at
twelve, think you had better put it down
sixteen days. l want you to be particular
git it right. His disease was bilious cOlick,
and was sick only two days and nights. |
want you to put it in, especially the disease
he was sick with-he YVES most sick. The
first day he was afraid he would die, and the
hext dag no vas afraid he wouldn't, but he
died yes, he's dead, and | shall never forget
the expression that lit up his countenance in
latter moments. understood that you some
times carve images on gtavsstoEeg, aad like
nesses. Now, if you can do SO, 1 wish you
would chisel out a picture of my Hezekiah
Gate Hezekiah, mean, for he did not look
like another Hesekiah 1 met yesterday. L
will try to describe his looks. He was really
fine looking man, had TbiskeTs which was
red, short neck and very large head and
foot-but don't suppose you could chisel out
his foot in tii.e picture, but you might get his
hand in. He had large mouth, and two
large gray eyes His eyes were very peculiar,
and want you to catch this peculiarity on the
grave stone. l will try to describe this pecu.
Iiarity: One eye you want looking right at
you, and the other you want turned as though
it was looking up the chimney all the time
Now l want this done by next Eees, as
think of marrying another Hezekiah the week
after, and L want the grayestone up before,
for fear this other Hezekiah would think it
was designed for him. don't suppose you
could picture him having the bilious collie,
could you? want to pay you part in some
of the clothes he had on when he died with
the bilious colick, and the rest will pay in
money as soon as 1 get married, which viii
be in about two weeks, L think, only spoke
to him for the first time, yesterday. Tell me
by return of post what will be the price O

A Glimpse into the Washington Sc
ragliog.


A gust of wind, says Washington corres-
pondent, will sometimes make queer reyela-
tious. 1t will lift vail, and show you u
hideously- marked face, or a skirt, and exhibit
deformed limb. Sweeping through the
forest it will lift an autumn leaf from the
earth, and disclose under il a nest OF horrible,
nOxious vermin. 1t has been shown that it
will uncover as curious moral deformities.-
One day there came whiting breeze around
the corner of Government department, not
far from the Interior, sweeping in behind the
massive coloDadcs, and carried letter lying
on the table of female clerk through tho
open window.
The lady CLERK had Eead the letter, and had
gode hastily indignant from the room to con-
suit the gentlemanly chief of the bureau upon
its contents. The letter was written by sister
clerk in an adjoining TOO.s, who had just made
the startling discovery that the person TO whom
it was addressed was rival in an unlawful
intimacy with the chief of the bureau The
letter, in its turn, had just maddened the
receiver by similarly surprising development
Meanwhile a newsboy-the gdDlin Of the
Washington streets-had caught the hutter-
ing letter out of the window and returned it
to the room from which it came. It was
received there into the general possession of
the lady occupants of the room. Another OF
them catahing its contents was shocked by a
doubly exasperatiDg surprise, but prudently
withheld the letter from further observation
The owner, returning, accused her of theil,
and under mutual recriminations there trans
pired the trinity of secrets. The breeze had
discovered three nlisfreSSes, IN q single depaTE-
nacHt, to its chief. 2.
