in a career of selt-achievcd greatness
that stands unparalleled in the history
of craftsmanship.
His official career may be thus sum-
married: First, alderman of Greenville,
then mayor, then member of the Leg
stature, then Representative in Con-
gress, then Governor of Tennessee,
then United States Senator, then nili-
tary Governor and Brigadier-Generai,
then Vice President, then President,
and again u. 5. Senator.
ANDREW JOHNSON was one of the
few grand and granite characters this
country has produced. His opinions
were ever positive and aggressive. He
possessed a sturdy scorn for all com
promises Of principle with policy. Nc
public man ever stood up for the rights
of the laboring masses as he did. Fol
this he was frequently denounced as {
demagogue. Never was greater error
There was not a drop of such blood il
his veins. His very origin and the his
tory of his remarkable career are con
Trajectory of the charge. His charac
ter was too positive, his pride too great
and his belief in his own exalted DIES
tMsy too firm, to permit him TO stoOp t
the arts of the demagogue. He was
most essentially, a great man. He ha'
his faults, it is true, but they were fey
and Insignificant when contrasted wit
his many and sterling virtues. Let u
forget the former, and remember onl
and emulate the latter.

The Interior of Africa.

Col. Long, in describing his recent
journey to the interior of Africa, and
the vicinity of the land OF the pigmics,
thus describes the hardships he under
went To cross Atmour is fearful
undertaking, l assure You. For one
hundred and fifty miles the route,
though painful, is III close proximity to
the river, and thus we have water for
two hundred miles. Leaving AbOu
Hamcd, where the river dcscribcsa great
NJ westward, we are obliged to cross IL
bleak, barren sea of sand, SO SuilOc"ting
and hot that the thermometer will scarce
lv register the heat. Great SilnOons or
khamsccns blow with roaring sounds
tlIeir hot breath, and cause your skin to
crack like parchment. On all sides n
sea of sand, bordered only by dclusivc
miraGcS that lead many to their death a;
for there is no we'll or water (savc one,
halfway, like Epson salts, and none
but camels may drink it; then we have
water for eight days, carried ON camclS'
backs i'll goat skins. The camel, pa.
ticnt, Woodworking animal, without
which it would be impossible to cross
the desert, still has rot the cxtraordi-
nary powers attributed to him, and is
waterproof only for two or three days,
dying on the fourth. Thousands thus
perish, and the road for the whole dis
tancc shows five to ten carcaSscs for every
mile, bleachcd bones that indicate the
deadly route. Add to this the fearful
seesaw movement. A forced march is
necessary, and day and night, with oc-
casional maps and stops for The pur-
pose OF eating black bread and onions
and drinking of nearly putrid waterfall
this may not give you the slightest con
ccptiOn of this march.

A New Way.

The Chicago Times knows of way i'll
which the country can be saved. 1t
says: Suppose, without disfram "hising
any one, we give two votes to every man
who possesses certain educational quail
iications, two to every man who possess
es n certain amount of taxable property
without the educational qualifications !
How then! The poor and ignorant
voter would still possess sufficient politi-
cal power for his own protection, but 4
good deal less power for mischief than
he now wiclds. This, or something like
it, may become possible some day, when
the evils of equal and universal voting
become more glnring and intolerablc
than they now are.

cnsOn is the great street car builder of
that city. He is now over sixty; rs hale
and vigorous rs when he was thirty ;
under sized, stocky, robust and cherry :;
Il mechanic of the James Harper school.
He makes cars for the world. No nation
can compete or underscll him. While |
was talking with him he was making n
contract for cars for Bombay. Twelve
cars were ready for Liverpool. Others
We're on the wagon for London. Another
lot were for Australia, Norway, Austria,
st. Petersburg and also. America and
over our boundlcss continent. Liverpool
cars are doublc-lcckc:s. But Americans
won't ride III them. All English cars
have the windows fastened down and
they can't be sold unless they are.
These cars the English cannot make,
though they have had the patterns for
years. Nor can that wonderful nation
make Il rubber car spring. All are made
here. Mr.. Stephenson ships no ears.
He delivers all his work iii New York.
Each nation, company or man who trades
for car, pays for it in New York. No
contract is taken unless the contractor
has banker in New York who will pay
for the car when it is done. Mr.. Stcph-
enson builds nine cars week. He can
take IN order and have car ready to
ship in four days. Each car costs II ,000
gold. Mr.. Stephenson is an old-timc
Methodist. For half century he has
been member of one church. Then
he is leader of the choir, leader of the
Smday-school, Il class l. a,ler, n man Of
great wealth and of opcn-handcd libcr-
