MEN OF THE SOUTH.
John f. House, of Tennessee.
Col. William Preston Johnston, in New York
World.

John f. House, of Tennessee.
Col. William Preston Johnston, in New York
World.
John F. House was born Jan.
1927, in Williamson county, Tenn.
His father, John House, was of
North Carolina descent, a farmer of
moderate means. He died when
the subject of this sketch was five
or six years old, leaving a widow,
who still survives, and some young
children. His mother was Margaret
Warren, the daughter of q neighbor.
ing farmer. John was sent to the
common "old field' schools of the
neighbOrhOOd until he was sixteen
or seventeen years of age, except
one year, which he spent in the
store of a half-brother, who was
merchant in Clarksville, Tenn,
when about fifteen years of age. He
was very fond of books and devoted
to novels, and, as he slept alone in
the store, the" "Mystery of Udolpho"
filed his young soul with such ter
ror that he was afraid to go to bed.
So great was his distaste for the life
of a clerk, however, that he was
sent back to school. When he was
about seventeen years of age he was
sent to the classical grammar school
of Edwin Paschall, a celebrated
teacher of Greek and Latin in that
part of Tennessee. His methods
were exact and his drill severe. He
had a great contempt for the Eng
lish grammar taught in the school
books. When new pupil COM
mitted some solecism in speech,
such as, II haven't saw it," he
would at once say: "And so, sir,
you have been studying English
grammar?" After his students
were well advanced in Latin he
would criticise the English gram
mar for a few weeks. Such was the
accuracy of his instruction that
when House went to Pennsylvania
University, Kentucky, and entered
the Junior class, he found no neces-
sity for study. His own knowledge
of the classics was more exact than
that required there. He had no
taste for mathematics and no prof.
cheney in that branch. He remained
but one year at Pennsylvania, lack
of means preventing his return. He
then went to the Lebanon Law
School, where he was graduated in
1850.
Mr.. House first purposed practis-
ing law at Franklin, in his native
county; but after a few months
trial removed to Clarksville, par
tally induced by the residence there
of his half-brothers. In 1851 Mr..
House married Miss Julia F. Beach,

Husband and wife.

Harmony in the married state Is
the first thing to be aimed at. Moth
ing can preserve affections uninter-
rupted but firm resolution never
to differ in will, and a determina-
tion in each to consider the love of
others of more value than any object
whatever on which q wish has been
fixed. Sources of discomfort, very
common indeed, are the little cross
purposes of husband and wife in
common conversation, disposition
in either to criticise and question
whatever the other says, a desire
always to demonstrate and make
him feel himself in the wrong espe-
cially in company. Nothing Is so
goading. Much better, therefore, IL
our companion views n thing In a
light different from what we do, to
leave him in quiet possession OF his
views. What is the use of rectify-
ing him If the thing be unimpOrt-
ant? Let 1t pass for the present
and wait a softer moment and more
conciliatory occasion of reviving the

She Decided 60 stay Unmnrried.
1t seems that a young man and
woman of BuckspOrt, Me-, were not
they were, the other day. They
met, and were each charmed with
the others qualities. A mutual
friendship sprang up, which in "A
few days ripened into love. 1t was
agreed that they should be married,
and, after a brief lapse of time, they
visited well-known Justice Of tho
Peace in that town. and were mar
ried, or supposed that they We're.
Two weeks passed on, and the dis
cOvery was made by the supposed
Justice of the Peace that his term Of
Office he'd expired prior to the mar
riage ceremony, and that the coup
lie were not legally united. The sur
prise of the man and his affianced,
when the state Of the case was told
them, can hardly be imagined.
They had lived together as man
and wife for two weeks, and the an
nOuncement OF the fact that they
were not married created quite lit
tlesensation. But the sequel is even
stranger than what went before.
THE would-be husband said to his
intended wife that they would go
and see some one who was really a
Justice Of the Peace, and get legally
married. She said she believed she
did not care to; that she had had
enough of married life for the pres
ent; and, persisting in that opinion,
she left town the next day for Bos-
ton.

There have been more appalling

tidings of sixteen missing vessels,

have within a few months gone

features OF the loss of these vessels
are that none of them carried pass

In 1864 the Republican stalwarts
tried to defeat Abraham Lincoln
because he had vetoed the recon-
struction act. They denounced the
modern Moses and saint because he
signified his dissent to the PROPOSE
tion to place the Southern States in
the hands of thieves and petty ty-
rants with an army within call.
Lincoln preferred to continue the
purely military RECONSTRUCTED" of
the South. These stalwarts were so
mad at him for daring to veto their
bill that they published a manifesto
declaring, among other things, the
following:
croachments ofthe Executive on the author
ity of Congress.
1t (the Presidents action) is n grave Exec
An Executive perverslon of the Constitu-
tion.

To-day Hayes vetoes an appro-

have signified their consent that the
President shall once more be admit

The senate ns AbIe ms Ever.

Washington correspondence Of the Detroit
Free Press.
Though there Is some rubbish on
both sides in the Senate, yet in pro-
portion to its number, what single
chamber Of any legislative body in
the world is superior to IL in ability,
experience and capacity for dealing
with questions involving the discus
sion of great fundamental principles
of government. Taking them all in
all, it is doubtful whether the Sena-
tOrial debates i'm the days Of Web
ster, Clay and Calhoun disclose
greater power and ability than will
be found in the discussions Of the
Senate during the coming two years.
In comparing the present with the
past, it is well to remember that in
those earlier days what Daniel Web
ster said or did was but small part
of the Senate proceedings. If one is
disposed to study the Congressional
debates of the present day he will
find much to excite his admiration;
but to do this properly, one must
fight his personal and party prelu-
dices.
