DEATH OF Ex.PREsIDENr JOHNSON,

Ex President Andrew johnson died at 2
O'Clock on Saturday morning at the house
of Mrs. Brown, formerly Mrs. W. r. Slower.
de had been in rather bad health since the
adjournment of the last session of Con-
gress, but nothing serious was anticipated.
/ On Wednesday morning he left on the train
for Carter's Station, and from thence he
went on horse back to his daughters resi-
dence, about seven miles, riding in the hot
sun. Arriving there he felt very much
fatigued, and the same afternoon, about 1
O'Clock. his right side was paraly zed, rem
dering him speechless.
| His remains were taken charge of by the
Masonic Order after they had been convey
ed back to Greenville, his place of resi-
dence, and lay in state in the Court House.
| The Court House, stores and private resi-
dences were draped in mourning. A beau
| t!ful casket with rich silver mountings and
Masonic emblems contained the corpse.
The casket was covered with floral offer
ings. Upon the silver plate was engraved
simply ANDREW Johnson, aged 67.'-
| Upon the walls of the court room were
hung three oil portraits of deceased, and
many photographs of various styles,
steel engraving and splendid bust in me-
dallion, all surrounded with badges of
mourning. Upon the casket, amid wreaths
Vi lioWeTS, was HIS large steel engraving IN
rich gilt frame, with heavy Masonic in.
sigma. The funeral took place at Green
vile, at II o'clock on Tuesday. There was
great collection of people at the little
country town, the number not being less
than five or six thousand. The Masons
and Knights Templar had charge of the
funeral.
Mr.. johnson took his seat in the Senate
on the 4th of March last, and if he had
lived his term would not have expired I'M
til 1881. If it had not been that an extra
session was called last Spring Mr.. Johnson's
voice would have been heard for the last
time in that body when he quilted it in
1862 to become Provisional Governor of
Tennessee.

Purify the Springs of Life.

1t is a sine qua of health that the SOURCES Of

the brain to be properly nurishsd and kept vgor
To this end the stomach the liver the bowels and
the kidneys should perform uninterruptedy their vari-
functions since if these disturbed the vital

those bodily irregularities which produce them is Hos

THE OBJECTIVE PoINT.-Unless the
power of the Rings is in some way checked
we shall witness next Winter the consum-
nation of the schemes that are at the bot
tom of the tickets now being made up.
The lobby at Annapolis in the last session
of the Legislature struck Big Bonanza in
shaving all appropriations fifteen per cent
for their passage, but then they only got
their taste of the yield possible in that sort
of business. Next Winter they propose to
deepen the mine and increase its resources
Appropriations on large scale for every
thing that will submit to the shave are
already talked Of A fat slice for the Cen
tennial, anywhere from one to two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars, promises to
yield handsomely, and this is only speci-
men of the jobs that are being plotted.
Herein resides the secret of the eagerness
of the INSCRIPTIONS, professional politi-
clans to 60 to the Legislature this year,
and the class of men who have been nomi-
mated from the city. "There's millions in
it," it's the grandest, biggest, greatest
chance they ever had; it will be a carnival
of plumber, shower of greenbacks, and
every man who gets inside the favored cir
Gle will come home with his pockets stuffed
This is the programme. No wonder that
the ruling powers don't care to discuss it;
no wonder that they consider it safer and
wiser to talk about the long ago sepultured
corpse of Know Nothingism and the great
grandson of Charles Carroll of Carrolltou.

THE MONEY PLANK IN THE OHIO DE-
NoCRACY's PLATFoRM.-"I If our currency
should be issued and regulated as proposed
by the Ohio Democracy, the result would
be that union of the political and money
powers so much dreaded by the old-school
Democracy. 1t would be Capitalization
with vengeance. 1t would give the Sec
rotary of the Treasury, or that man or
junto whose business it would be to ascer-
tain the "wants of trade,'' despotic
power over the fortunes of the people. 1t
would establish species of control over
trade and industry which not even the
most arbitrary Governments now venture
to make use of except under the pressure
of war. Before any man in business, or in
any business relation, can gain anything by
depreciation in the value of money, it is
first necessary that some other man should
lose it. The proposition of the Ohio De-
mocracy is, therefore, to turn all business
into gambling, and this gambling, like
most other sorts, would not be fairly con-
Quoted. The brokers, bankers, and stock.
jobbers of the party in power would be
sure to have timely notice of any imitation
or contraction about to be made in the
interest of trade, and in determining the
wants of trade the wants of their trade
would turn the scale. IN Y. Tribune.
If the reputation wing of the Democ
racy in Ohio should be successful in their
soft money campaign, the party throughout
the whole country will be found going over
from gold to rag money. Their desire is
not fer the welfare of the nation, but the
success of their party.

NEW MUsIC.-We acknowledge the re-
ceipt of two choice ballads, Darling Min
ME Gray" and GA Brave Boys Plea :"
from F. W. Helwick, 27s w. 9th street,
Cincinnati, Ohio.
From G. D. Russell 4 Company, 1875
Fremont street, Boston, we have Diamond
Dust" lively Polka Brillante as the name
implies; " Holy Angels Guard Thy Sum-
bers," a beautiful Quartette with words by
Cooper; and the Fifth Maryland Regi-
ment March," which from local pride, as
we'll as the merit of the music, should be
popular with Marylanders. The Fifth al
ways have delightful march. Their march
to Boston was particularly enjoyable, and
their march to Cape May is looked for by
the hotel and boarding house keepers of the
Island, who say the Fifth are sure to draw
crowded houses, being first-class hoppers.

The following abstract of tie ANIMAL Report of

Schools this year the last of Al and OF the
age attendance of 20I.
1t may be important to make the statement here,
that of the amounts due the former levics. u CON
siderable amount set down due has since that time
been paid and that the liabilities herein stated have
been reduced about $4,000; that the liabilities at
this present time are something over $4,000. This
debt is hut small increase the debt Of 1865
since which time the School Board have built paid
for 23 school houses and extensively repaired
others nearly all of these have been supplied with
furniture of the hest kind This has been done
at cost of about $50 Goo and amounts to more than
half the entire value of the Public School property of

THE CHANGERS IN DELAwARE.-There
are in tho State of Delaware twenty one
Oranges of the Patrons of Husbandry, with
a membership of over 600, representing
three or four thousand persons, and the
order is spreading with extraordinary ra-
pidity. The State Grange, at its last ses-
sion, authorized the establishment of a
organ, to be called THE Delassars
Farmer, the first number of which we have
received. Tho Delanare Farmer is small
four-page sheet, containing several articles
written by Delaware farmers and some good
selections; and in time we hope will grow
to be power in the little State, as teacher
in the class which is so sorely in need of
Let the farmers of Delaware
encourage their organ by a hearty support.

MORE OF THE BRooKLYN SCANDAL.-It
would appear from the following paragraph
that the public are to be treated to Sec
ond edition of the Tilton- Beecher business
1t is the universal hope that this threatened
installmsnt will be short one.
Messrs. Sherman and Sterling, counsel
for Mr.. Beecher, on Monday received notice
from Judge Morris, Tilton's lawyer, to be
ready to answer in a new trial on the first
Monday in September. The case will be
tried in the Brooklyn City Court, this time
before Judge McCue or Judge Reynolds.
Mr.. Morris is of the opinion that the case
can be tried in ten days, while Beecher's
counsel say that it will occupy a much
longer time.

ter of teaching how to live to enjoy life
with the least infiction from disease. The
remarkable story of "Our Summer at Ma

which is made possible by the dialogue style
adopted by the author, to present in the
