THE SPEAKING.

Ex.President Andrew johnson deliv-
cred speech of an hour and three
quarters length at the Memphis Theater
last Saturday night the 10th inst. II
was published in full by the Appeal yes
terday, and will appear carefully re-
ported in to.morrow's Avalanche. Our
space does not admit of a report or even
a SYNOPSIS, as the speech was concise
and epigrammatic. The theater building
was filled to its utmost capacity, and the
audience listened with marked attention.
Mr.. johnson was unwell somewhat, but
spoke with great force and clearness.
Not word was lost by his hearers. He
is called an old man--being about sixty
FIVE years old-but he is certainly well
preserved, and yet capable Of great labor
and service, and retains much of the
warmth of manner that characterized
him in former years. His peculiar
qualities as popular speaker are best
brought out when he has powerful OPP
ponent to meet. The effort of Satur-
day night was, perhaps, less aggressive
than is his custom. He spoke rather
dispassionately and mostly Of general
issues. he intimated that he favored a
reduction of State taxes, and had OBJ
jections to the funding bill and the as
sessment laws, but declined to say any
thing about twenty cents, twenty-five
cents, fifteen cents or any particular
rate. These we're about the only State
issues to which be alluded. The greater
part of his time was devoted to discus
sion of the national currency question,
the rings and corruptions Of the day in
high places, the feasibility of electing
United States Senators by the people
directly, and the evils Of centraliza-
ton which threaten to destroy the lib
critics Of the people. Toward the last
he spoke Of himself, the stand he had
made against the original civil rights
bill and the manner in which he had
sbeen treated since by his State. he
spoke in favor Of Cancellation and peace
throughout. Much that he said was de-
livered in a conversational tone, but
Mr.. Johnson is always emphatic and
impressive, and his remarks will be re-
membered.

SENATOR BRowSLow's letter on the
civil rights question is still a matter of
comment all over the State, but it is a
notable fact that very few Of our Repub-
lican friends have heard of it. Their
papers are too full of advertisements to
have room for word on the subject.

sockets, and they we're perfect skeletons.
Altogether they presented the most
painful sight he ever beheld. The most
cautions treatment had to be employed
in bringing about their recovery.

IL the approval of the Union and
American is essential to the success Of
every county movement in the State, the
sooner people find it out and quit read
ing all others the better. But until it
succeeds in managing Davidson county
affairs little better we will excuse it
from any interference in Shelby county
politics. The Bartlett movement, for
which it has SO little love, is net only
able to take care of itself but to repel
any outside interference, whether COM

CHAPTER VI.

And now we will follow our wanderers
across the sea, and leave these young folks
to enjoy their books.
Pacing up and down his solitary room,
restless and impatient---the old fever burn
ing in his eyes and lightning up the weary
face, was William Sears
Three years before, he had left America,
had wandered far, won fame and distine-
tion, but the nameless desire which desc
lated his boyhood WAS still unquieted.
The dreams Of the past had given place TO
the reality Of life, but he found nothing
new, nothing which he had not before un-
derstood by those mysterious munitions
which are the blessing or the curse of ma
lures like his. The fresh laurels with
which they crowned his brow only cast
another shadow over his heart. Praise
never once dazzled him into. forgetfulness
Of the wearing pain within--and William
Sears, famous and the idol Of the day, was
as utterly alone as the dreaming boy Of
six years before,
OF all these things was he meditating as
he paced his lonely chamber. The moon
light lay without hazy and beautiful, the

comfortable-if my guardian were here"
"Now, that's not polite, "broke inRobert,
edo for once be content with seeing me-"
"Well, SO am there-take your tea,
have put in the extra lump Of sugar to
show that we are reconciled."
They jested and made merry as the hap
py of their age should do and Mrs Dexter
looked on with smiling satisfaction, no re-
straint to their mirth or enjoyment.
"Oh, had quite forgotten ~ exclaimed
Robert, suddenly. swat a moment,

He drew out of his loose sack a small
package and untying it held up " couple

Sears ?"
Give me the book-do Another vol
ume of poems isn't it astonishing, Mrs.
Dexter"
"They were published in England, " said
Robert, "but a friend sent me an early
copy. They beat his other books all hol-
low--oh, he's very famous now-he's
written play that had great success
only fancy it,
"Just to think never saw him, and he
SO intimate with my guardian" said
Nellie; "but he hurried off to Europe
while l was away"
"Well, we've got his poetry at all
events, +" returned Robert, "it's better than
he--such an odd fellow as he was"
Then they opened the book and began to
read. Nellies check glowing with enthu-
siasm, and Robert himself looking excited
and moved.
"But it is SO sad," Nellie said, almost
below her breath; ooh how unhappy he
must be-
"But Respondent, reckless misery un-
worthy of man," said Mrs. Dexter ;
"he must have suffered though, poor fel-
low."
elf you want gloom, hear this, said
Robert.

Nellie. 81 can't bear 1t, it's so sad l

bad that he would eat all sorts of trash,
and out of that came the poetry-fancy

"There may be more truth in it than
you imagine" returned Robert, while he
and Mrs. Dexter laughed heartily at her
look of profound horror "Den't you
think poets have to eat?''
ooh, don't know butI arm very sure
Mr.. Sears is unhappy"
"Mr. James says bilious man always
is" said Mrs. Dexter; and then the two
children-for they were little else-laughed
again-not that they were unsympathizing
or.slow to fcel-but from very light-heart-
edness.
Here is another book, NeNie-a novel,
that is dividing popular favor in England
with Sears poems. Resignation by
Catharine Grant"
What a singular name but as sad as
possible"
He opened tho book and read on until the
gathering twilight rendered it impossible
to distinguish the words. Then they en-
tered the house, and continued the perusal
Of that book, which filled Nellie's whole
soul with the interest fiction possesses for
tie young
