Andrew johnson spoke for two hours
at the Industrial Exposition here. He
said be was mechanic himself-not in
theory, but in practice-and he was
proud Of it. He always gave satisfac-
ton to his customers. He had been
tainted as a tailor, but w.s &c. ashamed
of his trade, and the trade was not
ashamed Of him. Adam was a tailor
he sewed fig leaves and made aprons.
Mr.. j. favored working eonvicts in the
mines, and not teaching them mechani-
cal industry Hewould abolish peniten-
tiaries, hang murderers, and emasculate
thieves and robbers. He deplored the
national debt, and the prevalent official
recklessness. The fruits Of labor should
be enjoyed by the industrious, and not
by monied aristocracy and monopo-
lists. He opposed a permanent debt as
pertaining to monarchical government,
and tending to perplexities and class
legislation; favored paying the debt in
greenbacks, unlocking national securi-
ties, and putting the capital of the coun-
try into circulation, instead Of, as now,
Withdrawing $3.50, 900, 900 annually to
pay interest.
The industrial exposition continued
one day at Knoxville, and closed Satur-
day night with a general free fight.

KEEPING FIsH-A method adopt
ed in Portugal for preserving and
keeping fish fresh. consists in first
removing the viscera, then sprink-
ling sugar over the interior, and
keeping the fish in horizontal po-
sition. so that the sugar may pene-
trate TO the greatest possible extent.
1t is said that fish prepared in this
way can be kept completely fresh
for long time--the SAVIOR being as
perfect as if recently caught. Sal
mon thus treated before sailing and
smoking. possesses a much more
agreeable taste. \ tablespoonful of
sugar is said to be sufficient for a
five-pound fish.

A tender goose or duck may be
determined by raising the wing; if
the skin tears easily the fowl is ten
der. If you can easily insert the
head of a pin into the flesh of a
goose or duck, it is tender and
young. The strength of the joints
of the legs and the coarseness of
the skin is generally good guide in
buying goose or duck. Such a
test is more or less applicable to ali
other fowls.

THE Truth. THE WHOLE Truth,
ETC-It is strange how closely men
read the papers. We never say any
thing that anybody don't like, but
We soon hear of 1t. If, however,
once in a while We happen to say
a good thing. We never hear of it.
We may pay some man hundred
compliments, and give him dozen
puffs, and he takes it as a tribute to
his greatness, and never thinks 1t
does him any good. But if We hap
pen to say anything that this very
man don't like, or something that
he imagines Is a reflection on him or
his character, see how quick he
flares up and gets mad about it. All
our evils are duly charged TO us,
but We never, apparently, get any
credit for what good We do Hor-

DEATH OF DIR. T.. II. ROANE.--At
> o'clock this morning, the 9th inst,
passed away from earth, the immortal
part of that purr-mindCd, kind-hcartcd
man and citizen, DR.. T.. II. Roanc,
ultcr an illness of only Il few hours, fol-
lowing months of mental and physical
detection. DR.. ROanr was 80 years of
AGO, over twenty of which he had lived
in Monroe. He came here just after
the Mexican war, in which he was on
gagged as Il surgeon in the American
army, and began the practice of mcdi-
cinr with DR.. Dabbs, who proceeded
his earthly partner some two years to
the land Of the Hereafter. These two,
with the late Dr.. CaldcrWOOd composed !,
medical trio of extraordinary learn
ing, skill and individual attractions,
whose fame extended to all parts OF
North Louisiana. DR.. Roanc had as ma
ny good qualities of heart as any man
we .cXcr knew. He was tender, af:
trrtionntc, generous, charitable, always
Iiindly-Spnllcn. obliging, courteous and
di1pusrd to do right and fair by al
men, either rich or poor. He had but
one iaiing-what pity 80 GOOD Il mar
a. he should be it, victim!

Spread the Truth.

Some medical men insist tina: it is undig-
n1icd to advertise remedy, however valu-
| able it may be. Queer reasoning this. II
| is like saving that an article which the world
needs should be hid i'll a corner--that hcnc-
| fits and blessings may be too widely dlt1uScd
| that the means Ofprotecting and restoring
health should be close monopoly, and not
accessible TO all. The argument is bad. 1t
is worse than that; it is inhthaol. suppose
Host cttcr's Stomach BittcrS-:in absolute
specific for dyspepsia, billouSlICSS and lcrN-
Gus debility--hid never been known beyond
the repertoire of the faculty. what would
have been the consequence? Instead OF cur
ing and invigoratinG millions, the good
effects of the preparation would have been
confined to Il comparative few. There is tho
highest authority for saying that light
should not be hid under q hushcl; that
whatever is excellent should I've placed as Il
city hill where all men can take cog
niZance of it. 1t is upon this principle that
the Bittcrs have been advertised and CON
tinue to be advertised in every newspaper
of any prominence in the western hemiS
phere, and that the spontaneous teStlnoni-
ais in its favor have been translated into all
written languages Thousands enjoy pCr-
feet health to-day who would be anguish
ing on beds of sickness if the newspapers
had not spread tie L'uth arith regard to THIS
ut,cYstuied iurigO,oHt u7si corrective far and
wide. Suppose profit has been rcapcd from
this publicity. Is that any argument against
it? II the public health has been protected;
if lives have been saved; if the feeble have
been strengthened and the sick restored,
great good has been accomplished: and who
so mean as to grudge to eNcrtionS thus dl-
rectcd their fair reward?
