ANDREW JoHNsoN's LAST ILLNESS
Mr.. johnson took. the train at Green
vile on Wednesday morning, July
%, to visit his daughter, Mrs. Brown
in Carter county, some twenty miles
east Of Greenville, He had been com
planning somewhat Of an i'll heart du
ring the week, but felt no serious ap
|prehension. He rode in hack from
Carriers depot to her residence, some
six miles distant, and seemed in good
spirits on the road. Atdinner and Of
ter general conversation, he came
up stairs and was talking with his
granddaughter when his tongue re-
fused utterance, and to her great con-
sternation he fell from his seat to the
floor. Help was instantly summoned
and after being raised he expressed,
indistinctly, that his right side was
paralyzed. .....
After being taken to the bed, and
when the family spoke Of sending for
a physician, he said he would soon re-
cover, and in this way the summoning
of medical aid was deferred for TWEEN
ty-four hours, when DR.. Jobe was
called from Elizabethtown, some two
miles distant. He instantly began he
roic treatment, aided by DR.. Cameron,
and seemed at one time on the next
day to be succeeding. The patient
conversed imperfectly in regard to do
metic matters, and did not seem con-
scious Of approaching dissolution, but
his case was beyond the skill Of ply
sicians, and at I o'clock at night he
became unconscious. Mrs. Patterson
and Johnson, jr., arrived an hour la
Ter with two physicians from Green
Brey and Taylor-but he
did not recognize any of them. and, at:
Ter seven hours and half Of uncon-
sciousness, he peacefully breathed his
asst. surrounded by his wife, children,
and all his grandchildren except the
son and daughter Of ex-senator Patter-
son.

/ OF the four hundred and seventy-one
adventurers who have cnavigated the
air by means Of the balloon, but nine
of the whole number have lost their
lives in the undertaking, which shows
that it is not so dangerous . mode Of
travel as many have imagined. Of
those who have lost their lives hereto

Leaving Chicago on the afternoon
of the 18th of July the Donaldson bal
loon was last seen moving rapidly in
a north-easterly direction, over the
blue waters Of lake Michigan, and
headed toward the dense pine forests
Of Michigan. The terrible storm
which passed over the lake few
hours after, and before the aerial ship
could have reached an anchoring spot
upon dry land, has led to the SUPPOSE.
ton that the balloon was DESTROYED

How MI. Bennett, of Fall River, Ad-
yertised His COaI-Yards.

THERE are few salient points in ad-
vertising that are easily mastered. For
instance, it is not difficult for even the
most Indifferent business man to satisfac-
torily answer the query-when is the
best time to advertise? 1t needs but lit
tie reflection and less experience to con-
vince any tradesman who would faln
induce an extensive sale for his wares
that the best time to advertise is IN
season or out of season; that is to say,
that the best time to advertise is all the
time. In other words, the secret OF suc-
cessful advertising is the same as the
standard price of liberty" eternal vigi-
lance" A truly gifted advertiser was
located at Cleveland a few years ago
following the dry goods business. One
morning he noticed in each of the local
papers a column containing nothing but
the word Xenophon" oft repeated.
Pursuing his inquiries cautiously he dis
covered that an enterprlsing grocer or
the town was about to introduce a new
brand of flour to which the name of
Xenophon was to be given, and that for
two weeks public curiosity was to be
whetted by the sight of the great Greek 8
name standing unexplained in the col
umns of the Cleveland papers, and then
the debut of the flour was to be made
with great flourish. Having got his
information our advertising genius saw
at glance how he could and now ne
would utilize it. He took down from
the dust of his top shelves an auction
lot of hoop skirts, long out OF style,

Passing the Crowd In.

A Wellknown drummer for a dry good
house who chanced, last summer, to be
in Maine town where the circus was to
show that night, made bet that he could
pass every one of party of thirty, who
had come over from a neighboring town,
into the !" show" without paying cent.
The wager being accepted the party was
marshaled and proceeded to the tent,
where the doorkeeper was buslly engaged
taking tickets from all who passed
through the aperture in the canvas. Com
ing up with his crowd, the drummer
rushed up to the ticket-taker with his
hand full of cards, and said:
.sJust count these men as they pass in,
ending with the one in the straw hat"
"Certainly, sir" and the Cerberus
went to work: "Five, ten, fourteen,
eighteen" ETC., as they passed by him
and mingled with the crowd, till the
straw hat was reached, when he shouted
!" thirty-one,n and turned round for the
tickets. But the polite individual who
had bade him enumerate had vanished,
while the party who was crowned with
the straw hat, the only one who was
stopped before he had mingled with and
melted into The indistinguishable mass
of the crowd inside, proved to be an in
nocent codntryman who had legitimate
ly procured his admission pasteboard.

FOREIGN GOSSIP.

A LONDON naper tells a very romantic
story to the elect that the deceased elder
son of noble Lord just now dead was
secretly but legally married to lady,
who gave birth to son still living. she
was sworn to keep the facts secretuntll
the death Of the child's lordly grand
father. There is certain gallant eX-

story proves true.
GERMAN professors are gradually gain
ing foothold in the colleges and uni
versities of Italy Their knowledge is
accepted with a good grace, but their
superciliousness in regard to what does
not suit them-their inhexibility-is
highly objected to. The most eminent
and successful of these scientific emf
grants is Prof. Maurice Schiff, who is
universally admitted to be contributing
some valuable mites to science In Flor

On April 26 a servant girl was placed
under arrest in Limerick by the con-

recreation in a perambulator, and while
conyersing with woman whom the
servant met near the docks the perambu-

BREAKING THE ENVELOPE.
BY JOSEPHINE POLLARD.

BY JOSEPHINE POLLARD.
ALL white and pure on the ground it lay,
A letter directed to May, sweet May;
We could only guess what it might reveal,
For nobody ventured to break the seal.
1t had come from a distance, that we knew
From lover quite fond and faithful, too,
For every year on certain day
There was always letter for May, sweet
May
March came along in his clustering style,
And gave the letter frozen smile,
AS If he guessed what it might contain,
And buried it deeper in mud and rain.
At last, after many sore mishap,
1t landed safely in Aprils lap,
Whose pulses madly began to stir
When she found it wasn't intended for her!
OH ah! indeed! and alack-a-day!
A Younger sister was Mistress May
And the Jealous maiden began to cry
couldn't begin to tell you why.
Sadly soiled on the ground it lay,
This letter directed to May, sweet May;
Torn were the edges and pale the ink,
But she broke the envelope and, what do you
think?
Out popped the violets, bright and blue,
And apple -blossoms-oh! not few!
Down they tumbled, perfect shower,
Till the woods and The fields were all in
flower.
That was the letter so gladly torn
From its stained envelope one bright May
morn,
And bud and blossoms were but pant
Of the treasures locked in old Winters heart.

| Seventeenth Corps and had disappeared
in these woods, doubtless with sense of
| absolute security. The sound of musket-
| ry was there heard, and McPherson's s
| horse came back, bleeding, wounded and
riderless. | ordered the staff officer who
brought this message to return at once,
| to find Gen. Logan (the senior officer
| present with the Army Of the Tennessee),
| to report the same facts to him, and to
instruct him to drive back this supposed
small force, which had evidently got
around the Seventeenth Corps through
| the blind woods in rear of our left flank.
| soon dispatched one of my own staff
| mccoy, I think} to Gen. Logan with
similar orders, telling him to refuse his
left flank, and to fight the battle (hold,
ing fast to Leggett's Hill) with the Army
of the Tennessee; that L would person
ally look to Decatur and to the safety
of the rear, and would reinforce him if
he needed it. / dispatched orders to
Gen. Thomas on our right, telling him of
this strong sally and my Inference that
the, lines in his front had evidently been
weakened by reason thereof, and that he
ought to take advantage of the opportu-
nifty to make a lodgment in Atlanta, if
| possible.
Meantime the sounds of the battle
rose on our extreme left, more and more
furious, extending to the place where l
stood, at the Howard House. Within an
hour an ambulance came in (attended by
Coils. Clark and Strong, and Capts Steele
and Gile), bearing McPherson's body. l
had it carried inside of the Howard
House and laid on door wrenehed from
it's hinges DR.. Hewitt, of the army
was there and | asked him to examine
the wound. He opened the coat and
shirt, saw where the ball had entered and
where it came out, or rratherlodged under
the skin, and he reported that McPher-
son must have died in few seconds after
being hit; that the ball had ranged up
ward across his body and passed near the
heart. He was dressed just as he left
me, with gauntlets and boots on, but his
| pocket book was gone. On further in
quiry I learned that his body must have
| been in possession of the enemy some
minutes, during which time it was rifed
of the pocket-book, and ] was much con-
| cerned lest the letter had written him
that morning should have fallen into the
hands of some one who could read and
understand it's meaning. Fortunately
the spot in the woods where Mcpherson
was shot was regained by our troops in a
few minutes and the pocket book found
in the haversack of a prisoner-of-war
captured at the time, and it and it's con-
tents were secured by one of McPher-
sons staff.
