ANDY JOHNSON.
What He is About and How He is Do
ing It.
Chattanooga Cor of Cincinnati Commercial

Chattanooga Cor. of Cincinnati Commercial
So long time has elapsed since I have
said anything about Andy johnson in con-
nection with Tennessee politics, that the
gentle reader may have concluded that the
great man has retired to his rural home
among the Sabine hills &c. Not so; he is
in the field for the Senate, swinging the
circle from Knoxville to Nashville, from
Nashville to Memphis and from Memphis
to Knoxville again. He spends several
days at each place, chalking out line of
action. Some time ago l noticed a
Washington dispatch to the CONNER
coming here to stump the State against
the Senate Well, A. ]. is going to do
that very thing. Now let Foote come
along. johnson has many warm friends,
but there is not one of them who can do him
as much good as can Grandmother Foote
by taking the stump against him.
There arc several candidates for the
Senate, but johnson is the central figure.
lie towers above his competitors in every
respect, and is at this moment stronger
than any of them. But they will unite,
fuse, and double teams against him as they
did three years ago, and with probably the
same result. johnson has so many powerful
and bitter enemies in Tennessee that do
not think he can ever succeed in reaching
office again. He is valuable man in many
respects, and is the foremost citizen of the
State, and withal the only living ex-Presi-
dent, but that only adds to the venom and
determination of his enemies. They want
his scalp. They thought they had it in 1870,
but he rose again. Then they supposed
they had efectually laid him away in 1872,
but now he pops to the surface again.
Certainly as disturbing element he is a
signal success. His equal is not in this
broad land OF ours. ....-...--

The Moons Surface.

The observations made by Lord Rosse,
with his gigantic telescope, are very inter-
esting. His lordship assures us that every
object ON the moons surface. 100 feet in
height is now distinctly seen. Rocks aud
stones innumerable were seen, but 10 arcIa-
itecture, although such single arrtaGt1re
as the Tichborne House, for ilas5aaee, ought
to be distinctly visible, far more a street. a
village, or a large town. have 0ccasi0n-
ally had the liberty of viewing the lunar
orb through the most noble and perfect IN
strument now existing, and, strange TO say,
not vestige of green fields or of water ap-
peared, nor even a small reservoir-all
seemed desolate. There is something aw-
full in viewing such waste desert. Sup
posing we could view the moon with
magnifying power of 10000 times, she
would still appear at the distance of "a
miles, which is much beyond our optical
capacity. No animal resembling an elephant
OF lion could be perceived at such distance
besides we ought to consider that we only
have a bird 's-eye view Of lunar objects.
And as for inhabitants. it would only be
the diameter of their heads that could indi-
cate the habitability Of the moons surface.
Nay, though it were possible to view her
surface at the distance of two and a half
miles, it is then even doubtful if in such an
instrument living things could be perceived,
the vapors and undulations Of the atmos-
phere, together with the diurnal motion of
the earth, would considerably interfere with
distinct vision. The rare atmosphere of the
moon, if any, almost speaks volumes as to
her visible surface being peopled with crea-
lures, and the rural wastes which are thus
presented. Can it be that what we do see
of the lunar surface but desert district,
while what we do not see is not unlike the
face Of our planet?
That side of the moon which is turned
toward the earth is believed to be uninhab-
tied, to have no atmosphere, and to be like
q dead cinder or lump of Stag, on which
nothing lives or grows.
The moons surface is exceedingly rug
ged, traversed by immense abysses, and
studded with lofty mountain peaks, her
most extensive plain being perhaps no
larger than one of our ordinary fields.
Whilst there is almost positive evidence
that the stars are inhabited, the testimony
in favor of the moons being SO is only of a
probable character. Yet it is feasible to
| believe that upon the surface of the silvery
orb there exists a species of beings some
| what similar to terrestians. The reason
our large astronomical instruments cannot
discern actual traces of lunar inhabitants is
because those instruments are not powerful
enough. An object about sixty yards in
extent, that is about thirty times as tall as
| n man, is the smallest they are capable of
| discerning at such distance.

The Editors Midnight Visitor.

Itisn't very pleasant when you are writ,
ing ut your desk alone, about 1880 a. M,
to look up and find that large, ragged
darkey, with q suspicious bundle and an ag-
gravating club, is standing beside you. The
sense of suddenly discovering that your inf-
aeined solitude has been violated is un-.
comfortable and startling enough, but the
exnerience that shock by such means as we
have described is simply appalling.
There wasn't soul on the ground hoor,
the editorial rooms were dark and deserted
save where our lonely taper burned, the
third story was given up TO rats, and in his
dizzy perch above the typo wrestled with
our latest ,ioke-and conquered, as We found
next morning.
1t struck us that the ternporizng policy
was our only chance. We didn't know what
the sable party wanted in particular. 1t was
plain that he wanted everything in general
his hat looked like scab, his trowsers
were a combination of inliarElonious ele-
ments joined only by such feeble bonds as
strings and wooden pins, his shirt was a
hopeless labarynth, and his shoes the vision
of a better world AS he made sort of
bow we heard his toe nail tear splinter
from the floor.
But he only wanted hash. Think of it! at
that hour. and under those chubby and ter
rifying circumstances, he only wanted ten
cents for hash! He explained that he was
not a grasping man, things looked a little
rocky Just then, but he didn't mind. SUM
me, was coming, and clothes were no o1-
icct: all he wanted was plate Of tripe and
onions in some quiet place, and he'd wag
along very well after that. lie said ne
knew we were good radical-graceful tn
| butte to clean shirt and shoo-fiy Gun EouI, ,
tons, and insisted that two bits would
| make life very pleasant for him at that par
| ticular juncture.
We don't take any credit for the act OF
| giving that darkey half dollar. 10 !lie
revulsion of feeling. in the joy OF finding
him disposed to peaceful compromise, we re-
signed a fifty cent fraction with something
very much like eagerless. After all, II

The Anti-Seasick Steamer.

The steamship invented by Mr.. Bessemer,
which is intended to obviate seasickness in
the passage across the English channel, is
rapidly approaching completion. The ves-
sci has been completely plated and the
fitting of her engines and boilers in place
win soon be accomplished. This work will
be done while the ship is on the stocks, so
that when she is launched she may at the
same time be sent upon her trial trip. The
vessel, so novel in her construction, is an
object of great interest, and scarcely a day
passes without several visitors from a dis
tance inspecting her. The ship is 350ft.
long at the water-line, and for 48ft. at each
end the deck is only about Aft. above the
line of fiotation, so that in rough weather
the sea will wash over these low ends. The
decks ON this portion of the vessel have a
considerable curve and the sides of the ship
are rounded off so that the water may
escape as speedily as possible. This form
of end has been selected with view to
obviate any tendency to pitching. Above
these low decks a breastwork is erected
about s feet high. It is 254 feet long and
all the width of the vessel. The whole of
the breastwork deck is to be devoted for the
use Of the passengers, and the portion fore
and aft of the paddle-boxes will be protected
with stanchions. The vessel will be pro-
PEELED by four paddle-wheels, and 80 feet of
the space between the paddles will be
occupied by the swinging saloon. Beyond
this and at each end the space is occupied,
nearest the saloon by the engines and next
by the boilers. At one end of the breast
work there will be accommodation for the
crew of the ship, and beneath their quarters
stowage room for passengers luggage, etc.
At the opposite end of the breastwork the
space is fitted with cabins for the special
use of ladies' and below these cabins there
is a saloon 25 feet long, and fitted with sofa
seats all round. Along the sides of the
breastwork deck, between the paddle-boxes,
there are other cabins for passengers, besides
smoke-rooms and refreshment-rooms. The
Bassemer swinging saloon is making good
progress, and already good idea of the
principle may be obtained by an inspection
of the work. The saloon proper is about
seventy feet long, twenty-six feet wide, and
very lofty. The weight of the saloon is
borne by four large bearings, one at each
end two near the center. The end bearings
are fixed on iron transverse bulkheads,
which are well-stiffened by fore and aft
ways to prevent them buckling. The saloon
will be one Of the most superbly- fitted
apartments afoat. The top of it will form
a promenade deck, and it will be fitted all
round with seats. The saloon will be
entirely under control of the machinery
invented by Mr.. Bessemer, and it is declared
that it will be kept perfectly free from
rolling during the passage across the channel
and passengers, it is expected, will not feel
any more unpleasant sensation than they
would in going up or down the Thames.
The ship will be supplied with two very
large life RATS, and she will be steered and
her capstans, etc. worked bv hydraulic
machinery.

Sunset Cox.
New York Independent.

New York Independent.
The affectionate little gentleman who has
Just taken his arms from around Mr.. Dawes
neck is Samuel Sullivan Cox, formerly of
Ohio, now of New York City. "Sunset
Cox" 8. Sunbeam Cox sDewdrop Cox"
are the sobriquets bestowed upon him by
his approving and admiring brethren. He
is q little, swinging, prancing man, with
black hair, and white spot in the center
of his head about the size of q dollar. He
has dark skin, black eyes, and musical
voice. When he makes speech he often
turns down his collar slightly, turns up his
sleeves, swings Observation-Disclosures in his
hand, leaves his seat, comes down in the
front aisle, where half Congress gathers
about him to laugh and have good time.
His speech on the expense of moth to
the government, delivered last winter, was
the wittiest of the season. He is as amiable
as he is bright, and, though Democrat of
the Democrats, he is the one sunny force of
the minority who never loses his temper or
makes himself disagreeable, no matter how
exasperating may be his fantastic speech.
He is, moreover, man of more than COM
mon culture. Literally educated, he is a
lawyer, has been an editor, and the author
of several books Of observations and travel
as witty, genial and sunny as himself.

Two st. Louis editors are said by Gin
cinnatian to be disputing as to which of
them is the tteldest citizen" One Of them
says, in answering to the other: "The
writer referred to was living in Missouri,
while yet the editor of the Despatch was
boring gimlet holes for wheat culture in the
granite hills of the paternal New Hampshire
farm, etc., his silvery voice had wooed a
rural congregation to slumber while he
preached Swedenborgianism to lost and
ruined world, and ere he soaked his clothes
in butternut to more fitly qualify himself
for the editorship of Democratic organ in
Dubuque"

According to French veterinary surgeon
a simple method of preventing flies from
annoying horses consists in painting the
inside of the ears, or any other part espec-
tally troubled, with a few drops of empyreu-
matte oil of juniper. It is said that the
odor of this substance is uncomfortable to
flies, and that they will keep at distance
from the parts so annointed. If this, treat
ment should accomplish the alleged result
it may, perhaps, be applicable in repelling
mosquitoes from the faces and hands of
tourists and sportsmen when passing
through woods and meadows. .--Ea.

Next September picked team of the
best six shots in Great Britain, who carried
off the Elcho challenge shield last year,
will come to America for the purpose of
shooting match at Creedmoor for the
championship of the world, with native
born Americans, at long range-sOO, 900
and 1000 yards. The general impression
seems to be that our marksmen have poor
prospect of winning, long-range shooting
being practiced comparatively little in this
country, but it is suggested that we have in
the hunters of the West q corps of sharp
shooters from whom long-range marksmen
worthy Of any competitors could be obtained
with little trouble. The terms of the
match debar all artificial rests, but allow
any position of the body. With conditions
SO favorable to our frontiersman there is no
good reason to anticipate an American
defeat, especially if adequate means are
taken to spread the news of the approaching
contest among the hunters and scouts
through the military posts of the Vest
Bo$tnn Adrertiser.

When the late King of the Sandwich
Islands was gathered to his fathers, he was
buried in feather cloaking which had
passed down to him through generations of
royal chieftains. When the remains were
to be placed in the coffin, and were removed
from the feather robe on which they had
laid in state, his aged father commanded
that the body be buried in the robe, as the
dead king, his son, was the last of the fam
lily, and to him, therefore, it belonged. It
will cost more than $100, 900 to replace this
robe, if it ever is replaced, for one million
of birds, possessed of rare red and yellow
plumage, were caught to furnish the mate
rial of which it was made.

since then Mr.. L. has led a some

the climax. She told him to stay home

monished to silence by u stew-pan fly
ing across the DON in close proximi-
ty to his head. He retaliated by kick
ing v the table, and then that mar
ital relation, predicated on a "love
basis" was torn asunder. The climax
was reached. The time which for years
the woman had so earnestly prayed
for, had at length arrived, and glori-
ously she vindicated outrage femin-
unity. On his devoted shoulders came
the horsewhip; faster and faster rained
the blows. In vain he implOred,
begged, beseeched her to let up, but
his words proved only an incentive
to the vixen wife. Her imprecations
were fearful, but her strength at last
succumbed, and as she laid aside the
butt end of the cowhide carefully, she
arrayed herself in her Injecting har.

The above was the title of the claimed
inspirational lecture given last night
by Mrs. Belle Chamberlain, the me-
dunn. The Courthouse was well
filled, many ladies being present whose
Interest on the subject is being aWak-
ened. At half-past seven the medium
entered. and after being uSliered to a
seat on the foStruni, MIR. Sllortridge,
the '.yearliug" from the boop-pole
country in "~Ing;annv," as master of
ceremonies, opened the meetiag with
few remarks, after which LOngtetlow'S
Doein, 1.-THE Haunted House," was
read in a beautiful name by the lady.
While going into the rance condition,
Mrs. Chamberlain requested That some
one furnish music TO BASS away the
time, and a delegate responded by
coming forward and singing a temper
ance ditty, ranging through all the oc-
taves Known in music. AT the con-
clusion I've remarked that he knew
other ballads suitable 10 the OCCASION,
but the audience allowed him TO take
a seat. The lecture followed. and was
delivered i'll Il CLEAR, comprehensive
manner lasting one hcur and 4 half.
During the time the philosophy Of

mark to the latter, when a man in the
audience pointed out the error and
gave the credit to whom it was due,
