Andrew johnson and Family.

A correspondent writing to the
Louisville Democrat from Greene
vile, Andrew johnson old home,
gives the following interesting
sketch of the Great Commoner's
private Office and his family:
One of the mos: interesting oh
iects in Greeneville is ex President
Andrew Johnson's law office. 1t is
a small room in a one story brick
house. The door opens on the
street, from which is one step. In
this room are Mr.. Johnson's books,
papers, documents, pictures and
scraps, which he had accumulated
during long term of political life
and office holding. Everything is
lett just as it was the day he died.
In one corner are law books, ad-
joining them are the bound vol
umes of the Congressional Record,
and by them are the scrap books in
which Mr.. Johnson's secretaries
had pasted such articles as related
to him while President. On the
fly leaf of one book I noticed a
three-column article from the Pail
Mall Gazette, dilating on "The Ac
cidental President" Some seven
or eight large mail sacks contain
the Presidents letters and cor
respondence. Noticing quite num-
Der of ponderous ledgers on high
shelf, l ventured to. take one down
to see what it contained. In them
were filed all applications for office.
In one column was the name of the
applicant, in another the name of
the recommended, and at various
points we're noted such as whether
an officer or not, whether disabled
in war, in what company the appli-
cant belonged, etc. Three large ta-
bles grace the room, one against
the window, having been used by
the 's'Great Conmoner." o. it are
lying scraps of letters and scratched
papers. On the back of one of the
letters 1 noticed two verses which,
no doubt. had sounded grandly to
the ex Presidents ear, and were in
tended to be inserted in some one
of his many speeches.
Andrew Johnson's grand -daugh
ter, MISS Belle Patterson, intends
to deliver lecture advocating q
noble cause.-the freedom of her
sex. II is not known where Miss
Patterson will make her debut. The
young lady has fine carriage, and
shows in her firm forehead and
flashing eye that she has inherited
a great deal,of her grand, fathers
vim. She is destined to succeed.
All of Andrew Johnson's sons
died at early age. Two lie side by
side, south of their fathers monu
ment, both dying when thirty three
years old. Al! of Mr.. Johnson's
daughters are married and he has
quite a number of grand daughters.

Cold Feet.

There are certain minor ills that
flesh is heir to, which, though they
may not often be made the ground
for calling in the doctor, are never
theless the source OF much suffer-
ing, and sometimes lead to more Sc
rious ailments. Among these we
may fairly reckon cold feet, which
with many persons is a chronic
evil, and a more trying one than
those who are exempt from the af
nictions can well conceive. We be-
lieve, therefore, that we may be prov
ing friend in need to not few OF
our readers by givi-g the following
summary OF an article upon this
subject by DIR. T. F. Rumbold in
the Virginia Medical Journal;
Cold feet predispose to colds in
the head, throat, ears and lungs.
Many people are troubled with
sweaty feet; their feet consequently
becoming cold. This is often
caused by wearing woolen stock
.ings. Cotton stockings should be

China.

At the departure of the children
of Israel from Egypt, China was 700
years old, and when Isaiah prope-
sled of her she had existed fifteen
centuries. She has seen the rise
and decline Of all the great nations
of antiquity. Assyria, Babylon, Per-
sia, Greece and Rome have long
since followed each other to the
dust; but China still remains. q sol
itary and powerful monument of
patriarchal time. Then look at
the population OF the country,
roughly estimated at 100000, 900
ten times the population Of the
United States. more than thirteen
times the population of Great Brit
ain and Ireland. Every third per
son that lives and breathes upon
this earth and beneath these heav-
ems is Chinee; every third grave
that is dug is for Chinee.

On the other hand, a leading

Another 'ssory is told of a gentle
man who was operating in Kansas
City about the time of the begin
ming of the rise. He made about
$1,000 there, and then got 1t into
his head that he could do better in
Chicago. He came on, sold short
at ninety cents and covered his sal
aries at ST.. In the fuliness of time
he found it necessary to telegraph
home for more money. He put
that in the sieve, lost it, and at last
accounts had concluded that his
proper sphere was Kansas City in
stead of Chicago.

The coming Congress will not do

BESIDE A LITTLE GRAVE.

"Call no one happy till he dies" the old
Athenian saying, has the stamp of truth;
And obi how many . bright and glowing
youth.
Lit with the mornings sunshine and its gold,
As years swept on has darkened with the mold
Of vice and bitterness and sin-brought carel
How many fond and fearful mothers prayer
Had been uttered If she could have told
His future life whom she sought God to sparel
NAY, rather she had prayed he sh 'uld lie cold
In all the purity Of his childhood drest;
And standing DER my fIst-borh's little grave
/ can but humbly murmur God knew best;
Stainless He took the precious flower de gave.

good remedy for cold feet is to
tathe them at bedtime, commenc-
ing with water at blood heat, and
gradually raising the temperature
Till the water is as warm as
as can be borne. They SHOULD be
dried with q coarse towel, rubbed
well with an inunction, and then in
cased in a well warmed pair of cot
ton stockings. Vasehne is recon
mended as an Injunction. Salicylic
acid and bromide of potassium (ot
each five grains, add one ounce OF
vashne) will often remove fostor il
present, and plunging the feet in
cold water on rising in the morning
will often act well. Boots that are
thin, or light and low shoes, should
b. avoided in cod or damp weather.
Heavy, 1oose-itting boots, with
double uppers and wide soles, are
proper. India rubber overshoes
shonld be worn in damp weather
only, and should be removed as
the wearer enters the house,. Slip
pers should not be worn by either
sex during cold or even cool wealth
er. One of the ways in which a
cold is contracted is to exchange
warm boots for low slippers. Those
who do this forget their feet and
ankles have been protected all day,
and that they have not only uncov-
cred them, but placed them in the
coldest stratum Ct air in the room.
If they take the precaution to draw
on over the stockings they usually
wear a pair of heavy wooden socks.
the chances for taking cold from
wearing the slippers are greatly de
creased.
DIR. Rumbold says that most
women use the elastic garters, which
compress the veins and hinder the
return of the blood from the feet and
legs. Almost every patient claims
that her garters are not tight, yet
most OF them will acknowledge that
when they are removed at night deep
creases are found under the knees.
In order to keep up the stockings
without garters at all, they should
be pulled on over the stocking-knit
drawers, and fastened with tapes.
-Four of these tapes, about six
inches long, should be se~ed on the
drawers at about the middle of each
thigh, one on the outer side and
one on the inner side; also four
tapes should be sewed on one of the
outer and one OF the inner sides of
each stocking. The tying of the
-four tapes secures the hose in their
place, and as they are long enough
to come above the knees more of
the limbs is then covered than
when held up by the strangulating
elastic or non elastic garters.-

Enterprise is sure to reap its re
ward sooner or later. There is
Switzerland, for example. 1t IS the
smallest country in Europe, and
yet it has the biggest mountains.
While other countries were squab
bling about increased territory,
Switzerland stuck to real estate,
which. it rightly considered the
highest in the market. This sum
mer over 100000 strangers visit
ed the Alps and handsome sum
was taken in by the little country
in consequence. This visitation
exceeds that of any other year. and
it is to be hoped that the increased
patronage will induce the Swiss to
fix up the Alps in the latest mod
err improvements and see that NO
expense is spared to merit con
tinuance.

When the present Pope was Car

fishing a Catholic journal that
should be an organ in his church,
and that could be read by all the
people of Europe and America in
their mother language. Since his
elevation to the Pontifcate he has
exerted himself to start this ne~spa
per, and now announces that its
first number will be issued next
month. 1t will be printed in seven
different languages; it will discuss
the political and economical ques
tions of the day, and officially repro
sent the opinions of the Holy See.
The compositors are to be the deaf
