The True Story.

Mr.. Andrew johnson, Ur., editor O.
the Greenville (Tenn.) Llteltigencer
denies the story that his fatherin early
life met with serious disappointment
from unrequited love. He says thai
his father fell in love with young lady
of good family and amiable character
who returned his affection. Her pa
rents, however, objected to the marri
age, upon the grounds of Mr.. Johnson;
youth and lack of means. Upon hear
ing this he sought an interview with
the young lady, told her Of the decision
of her parents, and of the course be
had himself resolved upon, adding
that there was nothing left for them
but to part and forget what they had
been to each other. The lady felt 9th
erwise, and frankly told him that she
would go with him wherever he might
lead, and that she would not hesitate tC
trust her life and its keeping into his
hands. His pride would not permit
this, and Notwithstanding his love, he
left the place, only returning long
years after, when the lady was marri
ed and the mother of a family.

ChicagOParks.

Chicago has under preparation a sys-
tenn of public parks, which, when COM
pleted, will furnish, without exception,
the largest connected area of driving
grounds and breathing places in this
country. Imagine a city laid out in a
fiat territory, without a natural eleva-
tion exceeding six feet in height. This
city is in the form Of a parallelog ram,
seven miles from north to south, and
four miles from east to west. The
eastern line varies according to the ir-
regularities Of the shores of Lake
Michigan. At the northeast corner of
this ground plan, and lying along the
lake shore, is natural park contain
ing 153 acres. This is Lincoln Park,
and is already completed. The park
system includes Grand Boulevard
with roadway, $50 feet wide, extend
ing, from the northern extremity of
Lincoln Park, four miles west, where
it enters Humboldt Park, high piece
of land containing 800 acres. The
Grand Boulevard is resumed at the
south end of this park, and, continuing
two miles south, enters Central Park,
which contains 236 acres. A mile
south of Central is Douglas Park, con-
tanning 232 acres. The boulevard which
started from Lincoln Park, connects the
Central and Douglas Parks, and thence
continuing south and east, distance of
six miles, where 1t connects with North
Park, tract Of 500 acres or more. A
mile and a-half to the south and east
of this, is located South Park, which
has something over 500 acres. 1t will
be understood, therefore, that Chicago
has not merely a park, but succession
of parks, located at intervals of few
miles along the nerthern, western, snd
southern boundaries of the city. The
whole, connected with broad drive
way, planted on both sides, furnishing,
exclusive of the road ways in the park,
a continuous drive of twenty-five miles.
This system requires time to complete
it. The purchase of the land has been
costly. The west parks-Hum boldt,
Central, and Douglas-have been
planted and fenced, and the interior
finish of Central Park has been in part
completed. Lincoln Park is a resort
for thousands of all days, and especially
ON Sundays.-[J. w. Sheahan; Scribner

The Family Record

CAY, write 1t down in black and white
The date, the age, the name;
For home has never seemed 50 dear
As since our baby came.
No child before was half so sweet,
And never babe so wise;
And, John, the neigbors say, indeed,
1t has its fathers eyes"
''Nay, wife, I'm sure they're ike your OWL
The rogue's his mothers boy.
How strange that such tiny form
Can cause such boundless jovi
And you acfU have him named for me?
Come, think it DER again;
For John is but homely name
'.Nay, do not drop your pen,
''For john shall be his name, my dear:
1t is his fathers own;
And though a hundred more were given,
III call him that alone.
His fathers eyes, his fathers face,
His fathers form, I'm sure;
God grant he have his fathers heart,
Llfe's hardships to endure"
swell, there, its written down at last;
The record is complete;
Henceforth we'll lay our loving hearts
Beneath our baby's feet.
Ah, wife, our homes humble place
We're humble folks-that's true;
But I'm king with boundless wealth
In that young rogue and you.
$50, baby, wink and blink, my boy,
''Your mothers eyes" NAY, John,
They are his fathers eyes indeed;
That l insist upon"
.'Well, be that as it may, his mouth
Is waiting for kiss.
He's like you there, at least, my dear;
Say, do Judge amiss?"

Recent experiments with ozonep prove
it to have some commercial value as a
bleaching agent. Applied directly to
animal and vegetable substances, it is
claimed that it acts as an oXidiZing
agent, and abstracts the hydrogen Of
the substance, and thereby causes q
loss of color.-[Scribner for September.

whole pepper, horse.radish and cloves,
boiled with the vinegar will make a
great Improvement. Tie bladders over
the jars. In few days open and see
if the vinegar has shrunk away, if so,
fill up with cold vinegar. Some re-
commend that the vinegar be boiled
but allowed to cool before pouring over
the cabbage. A little bruised cochineal
makes this pickle beautiful color, and
is harmless. If kept very long, picked
cabbage gets soft, but is very nice es-
pecially if eaten soon after it is made.
ONION PICKLES.
Ingredients for picking onions. To
each quart of vinegar, two tablespoon
fuls of whole black pepper and the
same of allspice. Mode: Gather the
onions when quite dry and ripe, and
with the fingers take off the thin out.
side skin. With a silver knife (steel
discolors them) remove one more skin,
when the onions will look clear. Have
ready some very dry bottles with wide
mouths, or glass jars, and as fast a.
they are peeled put them in. Poul
over cold vinegar to cover them, with
pepper and allSpice in the above pro
portions. Tie down with bladders, and
in fortnight they will be ready fol
use. This is most simple recipe anG
very delicious, the onions being very
nice and crisp. If kept longer than six
or eight months, picked onions are Ii
able to become soft.

More Than All.

Give fools their gold and knaves their powe
Let fortunes bubbles rise and fall;
Who sows field, or trains flower,
Or plants a tree, is more than all.
For he who blesses most is blest;
And God and man shall have his worth
Who toilest leave as bequest
In added beauty to the earth.
And soon or late, to all who SOW,
The time or harvest shall be given;
The flowers shall bloom, the fruit shall grow
If not on earth, at least in Heaven.

MEMORANDA.

Experiments in Germany on frozen
potatoes prove that the freezing in
nowise alters the chemical composition
of the tubers. The chanke is simply
physical, and, even if frozen hard, they
are still fit for dlstillation, or they may
be pressed to get rid of the water, and
then ground into very good meal
adapted for feeding cattle.
The sand-blast finds new applica-
ton in the manufacture of silver-plated
ware. Parts of the ware are finished
in stippling work,-a dulled surface,
sometimes known as "satin finish. y
This work has been done by rotating
iron wire brushes, but fine thread OF
sand, driven by compressed air, is said
to do the work much more quickly and
effectually. Patterns cut out of thin
sheet rubber are used to give any de-
sired markings or oTnamentations, and
the slightest exposure to the blast per-
forms the work instantly.
| An apparatus resembling the type
writer in design, and intended to be
used as stenographIc reporting ma
chine, has been brought out in France.
1t consists of keys and a lever very
much like the desk of the Typewriter,
and long roll of paper that automatic
ally unwinds as the keys are touched.
Each key makes dots or dashes, and
the lever spaces off the words and lines.
The report, in Morse's alphabet, is thus
readily written out as fast :as the keys
can be touched, and may be copied or
set up in type without difficulty. Six
months practice will enable a good
operator to follow the most rapid
speaker.
In electro-mechanics a new magnet,
and a method of softening iron for
magnets, are offered. A slender cop
per pipe, OH of an inch in diameter,
is wound in spiral round a soft iron
cylinder. Steam, at pressure OF five
atmospheres, driven through the pipe,
causes the iron cylinder to become
strongly magnetized, and this condi-
ton will be maintained so long as the
steam flows through the pipe. 10 OBJ
tain good soft iron magnets for electro
motors, it is recommended to file or
machine-face the iron till it is free from
scale, and then to heat it to an evenly
distributed dull red. 1t is then plung-
ed to an even, but faint red, and buried
in pulverized lime. When cold it will
be quite soft, and greatly improved as
magnet.
Hydraulic machinery is being ap-
piled to the handling and loading Of
large guns on some of the ships Of the
English Navy. The gun in recoiling
is partly upset, and lifting machinery
raises the charge to the gun and places
it in position, and hydraulic piston
rises from the deck and rams it home.
A box for transporting eggs is offer
ed, having light iron wire springs be-
tween each of the trays in which the
eggs are placed. The box-cover, when
put on, compresses all the springs OF
the various trays, and holds the load
firm without injuring the elastic cush-
ions on which it rests.

A few moments more and the car

An ORGANIZATION INFECTED WITH Mr.. MAGONE AS

BIG MAJORITY.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO IHE TRIBUNE.l
ALBANY, N. Y, Sept 24-The new Democratic
State Committee met in Parlor No. 81 Of the Della
van House this afternoon, and organized with n
unanimty and harmony which have been unequaled
in Democratic councils for years. All the members
were present except Francis Nolan, James S. Pres
ton, Darius Ogden and William H. Henderson K.
II. Crowley appeared for the latter. Ex-Lieut Gov.
Beach removed the only occasion for any discord by
very modestly, and to large body of the Commit
tcemen somewhat unexpectedly, withdrawing all
pretensions to the position of Chairman. The Lieu
tenant-Governor has been slightly crippled in the
recent canal skirmishes, and it was generally
thought that he would not make effective leader
as the occasion required. On this account, it is
believed that he would have been summarily
dealt with if he had chosen TO stand for the place
again. He, however, chose the wiser course, and
Daniel Magone r., who represents the most unbend-
ing hickory in the canal reform plank, was unani-
mously elected Chairman. L. X. Apgar was con-
tinued as Secretary. number of candidates on the
State ticket were present at the meeting. The senti-
ment was very hearty that there is no doubt OF a
victory for the Democratic ticket. The majority
was placed even higher than that of last year. Dur
ing the evening the members attended reception
at Gov. Tildens.
