THE INSANITY OF ANDREW JOHNSON. The

1HE INSANITY OF ANDREW JOHNSON The
New York Post seriously declares that An
drew ) Johnson is insane, basing its conclusion
upon his speech at Nashville the other day.
an examination Of that speech certainly war;
rants the belief that the great defender Of the
constitution has really lost his mind. His
constant repetitions the never ending allu-
sions TO the constitution and to the history OF
Andrew johnson could not have emanated
from sound mind. Take tho opening para
graph for an example:
L am now, fellow-ctizens, candidate ior
nothing. l have filled all the places IN TINS
Government, State and federal, from tne
highest to the lowest. There is no position IN
the Government--and 1 don't say 1t in the
spirit of egotism-that the people, either in
their own capacity or through their represent
aliyes have not conferred on me. And can
tell you here to-day, in the sincerity of my
heart, the measure of my ambition has been
filed. can ask no more. Ihave occupied the
highest position in the gift of the people
l have tried to fill that position to the best of
my judgment and powers and according to
my .oata. But in returning to your midst,
could 1t be otherwise expected than that

policy have pursued should be rightly under

Tor nothing, Just as have told you, have run
the round, have filled all the places in the
government, am now in your midst for the
purpose only of spending the remainder OF my
days; that | return to you now, as did when

made my location and home here. Here ex-
pect to live and die. and in some OF your
valleys l expect my bones TO ne
And let me say here that, holding my
character dearer than my life, intend to en-
ploy my time in the vindication OF 1t against
the foul ISLANDERS heaped upon me. lCheers.
Then, in return, might say, in the language
of another, sThough the storm of State has
been severe, though the pillows rolled high,
and pursued by deep malignity and deepest
turpitude' return to your midst expecting
to make it my home. will say in qualified
sense Though bent, have not been broken"
[Cheers
As another indication of insanity may be
mentioned the assertion made in the same
speech that he gave $1,000 of his personal
means to Brownlow to support the Knoxville
Wing. Senator Brownlow publishes a card in
the Washington Chronicle saying that john
son did not contribute cent of that money,
but paid it out of the government funds in his
hands. In normal mental condition Mr..
johnson would not have told a falsehood that
was susceptible of SO speedy and effectual ref
utation

proposed union the Scotch U. P. Church, the

one point of view appears unobiectionable
would in another point of view be a sort of

GAS WORKS. "A large party Of gentlemen,
including the Superintendent of the Gas
Works in Lawrence, Lowell, Newton and
Watertown, Lynn, Waltham, Charlestown
and Worcester visited our city yesterday, stop
ping at the Falmouth Hotel, for the purpose Of
visiting our gas works. in order to witness the
operation of making gas without pressure, or
in vacuum, as practiced by Mr.. York. the Su-
perintendent of our works. BY this process
the yield of gas is greater and its brilliancy in
creased. The gentlemen, we understand, were
highly graufed with the results of Mr.. York's
mode of manufacture. In manufacturing gas
with clay retorts under pressure, there is a
large amount of carbon formed on the inner
surface of the retorts at the expense of the il
Illuminating qualities of the gas, and this accu-
mutation is entirely obviated by Mr.. Yorks's
method.

The CONCERT-There was a resnectahle
number present at City Hall last night to do
honor to D. II. Chandler, but the audience
was not one quarter the size it should have
been. Apart from the compliment to a worthy
musician, the character of the music. and the
manner in which it was rendered by the Band.
should have filled the hall twice over. Some
times we think our people d ont care how good
or how poor the music is at promenade con-
cert, provided they can dance by it, Lately
there has been quite revival in music. as ex.
emplifed in the manner the singers have taken
hold of the choruses in the Creation" but
that is a matter that pertains to certain class
in the community and not to the public gen.
orally. Last night when the delicious strains
of the overture to Auber's "Mason and Lock-
smith," and the "Potpourri'' of Lortzing we're
waited to our ears, we were terribly ANNOYED
and the effect of the music in a great mart
spoiled by the loud talking and chattering of a
lot of girls and boys all around us. II does
seem pity that some people can't keep their
tongues still for half an hour.
Having vented our i'll humor, we will say of
the concert that the band played splendidly.-
The different instruments were very we'll pro-
portioned SO as to give the music the necessary
breadth and depth, the only fault to be found,
if there was any, was that the drums in some
passages seemed little heavy for the strings.
The overture and potpourri, mentioned before,
were exquisitely rendered, the delicate passa-
ges being interpreted in manner that would
have done credit to band which is in the hab-
it of playing such compositions nightly.
After the short concert programme the dane
ers took the floor, when list of fourteen danc-
es was gone through with with fervor aid a
vim that spoke well for the participants. The
musical selections were the same that were
chosen tor the hop at the Falmouth week
ago, and which we praised so highly at the
time We hope the next benefit concert will
receive its proper appreciation at the hands Of
the public.

PosT OFFICE JoKEs.-The Lewiston journal
says that a rough fellow threatened to "skin"
the postmaster of that place because he would
not give him an advertised letter. He was in
duced to show the documentary proof howev-
er, before proceeding to extreme measures, and
it was found that his Misrepresentation arose
from seeing his name on the list of legal uoters
So the postmaster escaped the fate of Apollo's
rival, and was not fayed. Recently an Irish
woman called at the same Office, and ON being
told that there was letter for her from the
dead letter Office, burst into tears saying, "an'
sure thought some of 'em mought been dead
that didn't hear from them before" An ex-
PLANTATION dried her tears

FIRE.-About IL o'clock last night Mr. A.

grocery store of Mr.. Alvin s. Dyer, opposite
the depot He notified policemen Curran and
SWEET, who were in that vicinity, of the fact,
ano then started and sounded the alarm from
box 43. In the meantime the officers broke
into the store and extinguished the fire, which
was in the vicinity of the front window. and
when the engines arrived there was no need of
their services. The damage was slight, but
fully insured. The origin of the fire cannot
be accounted for.

NEW FANCY GooDs AND MILLINERY STORE,
Our readers, particularly the ladies, should not
fail to visit the new store of Kaler, Bowen &
Merrill, No. Free Street Block All their
goods are sold at wholesale prices, and are OF
the very best quality. We must confess to
weakness in the enjoyment of all things beau
tiful, from a choice painting to a ribbon of del
icate shade, and we can assure the public that
they will find an opportunity to revel in the
beautiful in the store of these gentlemen
Ribbons of every conceivable hue and width,
artificial flowers, faithful counterfeit of ma
ture, gloves of the celebrated Jonvin make,
laces from the most celebrated looms of Eu-
rope, velvets, satins, furnishing goods of every
description, which make one sigh for the
wealth of a Midas
On Tuesday next they will give regular
spring opening of bonnets, hats, laces, ribbons,
&C., in the elegant room at the rear of their
store, which they have had handsomely car
peted and fitted up in the most recherche style
for the purpose. Here ladies can have COM
Portable seat while an accommodating assistant
displays to them over one hundred bonnets
(should they desire to look at so many of the
most fashionable shapes, and trimmed in the
richest and most tasteful styles, from the ele-
giant bridal hat to simple travelling bonnet.
This exhibition will last three days, and we
would advise the ladies not to fail 10 attend

The NEW. ENGLAND FAIR-At length we
are enabled to state that arrangements have
been perfected between the Trustees of the
Maine State Agricultural Society and the City
Committee, so that the New England Fair will
be held in this city during the first part of
next September.
There has been apparently great deal of
unnecessary delay in coming to a decision, but
the city committee found the demands of the
New England Society were SO much greater
than they had expected, that at one time it
seemed as il there would be block. AS it is
the appropriation by the city will not probably
cover the expense, but the committee have as
sumed the responsibility of bringing the New
England Fair here, and will look to the we'll
known generosity of our citizens to see that
they do not suffer pecuniary loss. Some minor
changes were made in the programme of ar
rangenents offered the Trustees by the COM
mittee, the principal one of which was the fur
nishing $500 instead of 5000 seats at the Trot-
ting Park. Otherwise the programme re-
mains about the same. This result of the ne
gotiations is most important one, and we
know that our citizens will hail it with great
satisfaction.
