ANDREW JOHNSON, OK president

ANDREW JOHNSON, ex.president
of the United States, and now q
Senator in Congress, died last Sat
urday morning, at 2 o'clock, In the
9th year of his age. His native
State was North Carolina, where he
was apprentised to the tailor's trade
when he was ten years Of age, and
served faithfully seven years, when
he went to South Carolina and
worked two years. 1t is said he
never went to school a day in his
life and when he was married his
only intellectual accomplishment
was reading. BY the aid Of his
wife he soon learned to write and
cipher. His first Office as he often
used TO tell in his speeches was that
of alderman of the village of Green.
vile, Tennessee, where he lived the
rest of his days. He held nearly
every Office between this and the
presidency Of the United States.
Despite his early disadvantages he
became a power in the American
politics. In 1860 when the South
was arrayine herself for Il fight and
plotting destruction to the Union,
Andy's clarion voice was heard
above the reasonable shouts of dis
union, counseling order, and op.
posing the dabolical schemes of the
leading secessionists. For this he
was hung in efligy by some of the
people of his own State. lie stood
HE Ii in the counsels of the Union
men and received the nomination
for vice president on the ticket with
Abraham Lincoln, in 1864. On the
death of Mr.. Lincoln, only about
six weeks after his Inauguration.
Mr.. johnson became president. His
was not what was
expected of him after his manly
fight with the republicans for the
four years previously, and lie left
office with the ill.wilI of a ma jOrity
of both parties. He has lived most
ly in retirement since then until he
was elected again to the Senate of
the United States, last winter. The
six years that had interviewed had
served to obliter;te the past and
his advent to the Senate was regard.
ed by men of all parties as perhaps
a favorable circumstance. But the
speech which he made during the
short time he occupied his seat last
winter indicated that he had forgo-
ten nothing and bis principal object
seemed to be to rake open the old
sores that everybo dy supposed were
healed up.
Orders were issued by the Presi.
dent, and the heads of departments
that fitting respect should be paid
to the memory Of the deceased on
The day of the funeral.

Hon. Il. Z. COTTON does not think
that the grasshoppers have done
so much injury in the West as some
persons would have people believe.
In II letter dated Denver, Col, July
IA, he says:
l have passed over the route from
st. Louis to this place, and, except
n few miles along the lower part of
the valley of the Kansas, crops new
er looked better. The grasshopper
sufferer this year is fraud aud
humbug. Kansas will raise more
5readstufis this year than she could
consume in the next five.

New CUSTOMS REGULATIONS
A new customs regulation, affecting
the baggage of persons coming from
Canada to the States, will shortly
come into force. AT present, bag
gage is examined at the point of de-
parture, but under the regulation
above alluded to, the examination
will be made at the first United
States port of entry. For instance,
passengers for New York, Boston,
etc, da Central Vermont railroad,
will have their baggage examined
at Albany, instead OF at the depot
in Montreal.

The postal money order system
between the United States and
Canada went into effect Aug. 2.
Over 800 money order Offices in the
United Stat IS have been designa-
ted as Inland Canadian Offices.
Eight international exchange post
Offices have been established, among
which are Bangor and Boston. 1t
is thought that this arrangement
will be of special advantage to New
England commerce.

Mr.. Editor: ] am not quite pre-,
pared to indOrse the regret which is
expressed by some rs regards the
great Brooklyn scandal. l entirely
disagree with them that tue effect
of this publicity is .demoraIizing.
This remarkable case is free from
the puruient details which too gen.
orally accompany divorce suits and
trials for seduction, and | can recol.
iect no case so fully reported, which
had less tendency to present sexual
impurity in a seductive light. The
impressive pictures of torturing
wretchedness and ruin brought up.
on the alleged participants in this
alleged violation Of the conjugal
VOWS, the dread Of exposure aud
shame, the skulking articles of con.
cealment which have made four
years a long agony of remorse, can.
not but operate as a wholesome les
son and fearful warning to people
whose passions would prompt them
to their destructive sin. The pub
lie press in the discharge of its du-
ties, is under the necessity of pub.
fishing much revolving matter, at
which virtue recois and stands
aghast, but such information is a
necessary protection to The uhwary.
If unfaithful pastors seluce the IL.
male members of their flocks, the
publication of the facts is neces-
sary means of calling the attention
of unsuspecting heads of families
to social perils against which they
may take proper and timely precau-
ton. Minds which gloat over such
disclosures, are already corrupt and
past the possibility of moral injury.
The virtuous are inspired with hor
rOr and alarm, and those who stand
on the doubtful confines between
virtue and wee have opened before
them the dreadful abyss Of ruin
and shame into which sexual irreg.
ulalities plunge their victim. This
shocking Bcecher scandal will call
attention to some grave dangers to
which contiding community have
been too insensible. We cannot
doubt that majority of clergymen
of all denominations are pure, piOus,
faithful, God.fearing men; who
could be safely trusted in any situa.
ton. And as little can it be doubt
ed that there is a sprinkling of lib.
ertines in that sacred profession,
and there is no other profession
which affords so many opportuni-
ties to men of lewd inclinations.
Under the pretence of pastoral Wis
Its they can visit the female mem.
bers of their congregations at all
hours of the day, when fathers,
husbands, and brothers are neces-
sarily engaged in their business.
Affairs like this of Beecher's and so
many others whose exposure shocks
and disgusts the public, should lead
our clergymen to adopt code of pas.
oral intercourse which will protect
alike their reputation, and the vir.
tue of weak and contiding woman,
whose illregulated emotioned sus-
capabilities make them the easy
,rey of clerical seducers. MAX.

The above comprehensive title OF
this valuable history gives gener'
al idea of the contents of the book F.;
but only by a perusal of the volume
can its many merits be learned and
appreciated. Unlike many town
histories, the subjects are treated in
brief, crisp and pointed manner,
there not being one superfuous line
in the book. This results no doubt
from the fact that the work of col
Letting and writing the book was
performed by Mr.. Maurice d. Clarke,
under the supervision of his uncle
Col. John b. Clarke, who have both
learned from their long connection
with the press, that the fewer tue
words used to convey a writer's
meaning to the reader the more pop
