Ex PRESIDENT JOHNSON AND FAMILY
The Knoxville (Tennessee) Chronicle of May E
contains tie following in reference to ex, Presi-
dent Andrew johnson and his daughters
The ex-President has recently purchased the
large brick block known in Greeneville as the
Lowery Block. The purchase was made for
cash, at very low terms probably not more
than halt ofits real value. It. is generally be
lieved in Greeneville that he will soon establish
hank. He has the means, and has been
frequently urged to do SO for the convenience
OF the business men of that and adjoining towns
AS it is now, they have no bank nearer than
Rockville. and they find it now almost impos-
sblc to do longer without one. ,.
The ex President spends most OF his time IN
study. He writes great deal, and 1t is gener'
ally supposed that he contempates soon pub
fishing q book, which shall be defence OF my
policy" and his Administration. lie has some
visitors from distance. and durlne court ses.
sions his house is daily filled from early morning
till night by his friends from the country, who
think him the greatest man OF the age.

STRANGE CHARACTER.-A man who gave
his name as Charles Watkins, and who turns
out to be Charles Livingstone, once respec-
table merchant in this city, was arrested while
trying to enter the house Of Mr.. Schaeffer, on
Portland avenue, before daylight yesterday
morning. This man has strange mania for
which name is yet to be invented. He will
break into house at night justf or the luxury
OF standing by the bedside of person and
looking at him or her, as the case may be-, as
they lie asleep. He has been known to do
THIS on several occasions and, after standing
there and gazing Tor hours, leave without dis
turbine anything, and close the doors care
fully after him.
About six months ago he got himself into
serious trouble in this way, being arrested as
burglar and held to answer He entered the
room OF young lady after she bad retired and
gone to sleep. Taking his favorite position
beside the bed, he stood gazing at the beauti-
ful sleeper till, perhaps, conscious of the pre-
sence near her, she awoke and was frightened
terribly. BY the faint light of the moon as it
shone through the lattice she saw this strang-
er standing still and motionless at her bedside.
She screamed and tainted, and the inmates of
the house, aroused by the noise came rushing
In Just in time to catch the intruder.
The affair caused good deal OF excitement
and no little gossip at the time, but subsequent
tacts have proved that the man was harmless,
and went there just Ito satisfy this singular
longing Of his. He has been caught in several
such places since then, but at no time has he
ever disturbed anything or anybody. lie was
presented to the court as suspected felon,
charge not justified by the facts in the case,
and held in $500 to be of good behavior for
twelve months. His case is a strange one
indeed. .-LouiSrlUc Courier
