moment he returned home as an
ex President he began intriguing
for q place in the senate. and sue
ceeded, after making very vigorous
effort for tie same.
Andrew johnson had a favorite
retort to make to any one who
Kissed him when making u speech.
The first occasion upon which he
used this celebrated retort CT his
was in a public hall at Chattanooga
where he was making an address in
some political campaign. A re-
mark of his displeased some oppo-
nent in the gallery and the latter
began TO hiss. Pausing in his
speech, Mr.. johnson looked grave
ly in the direction of the hisser, and
said: There are only two animals
known to scientists whose language
is expressed by the hiss-the viper
through malignity, and the goose
from force of Stiffness" OF course
the uproar which followed this was
enough to subdue Mr.. Johnson's op-
ponent.

THE GLORIOUS EIGHTH" "
How "old Hickory" Used to Draw
On the Banks.

The following interesting letter
from Maj. Gen. Andrew jackson to
a friend is copied from the origi-
nal, now in the possession of Mrs.
Gen. Ward b. Burnett, of New
York. 1t was written, as will be
seen, but four months previous to
the memorable battle of the Sth of
January, 1915, and bears evidence
of having been written by the Gen
eral himself:
HEADQUARTERS SEVENTH M. DIST.
MOBILE, Aug. 81. 1914
SIR: Information received last
evening of the approach of large
British force over our coast and the
landing of from 200 to 800 at Pen
sacola, with large supplies of ammu-
milton, arms, ordnance and ord
nance stores, embodying large
Indian force, and taking possession
of the Spanish forts, has induced
me to take every means in my pow
er to counterfeit and defeat their in J.
tention. l have ordered every In

the United States and placed under
pay, and have called for every mill
tiaman 1 am authorized. / refer
you to a small account inclosed to
Gov. Blount 1t is balanced on
the most confidential information
and may be relied on. There is
neither funds nor transportation
here, and 1 have dispatched Capt
Thomas Camp with a bill on you
for $4,000. The bank can easily
furnish the bills with safety, as
their circulation will be distant and
they cannot refiow into bank in a
year, and if we cannot preserve our
Government our bank will go with
it. Every exertion ought and must
be made TO save the country, for,
from the unprepared state of our
means of defense, it is in real dan
ger. The temporizing conduct o:
our Government has placed Pensa-
cola in the hands of Great Britain.
Funds I mast haze, or l cannot oper

How to Give a Pig Medicine.

At a recent meeting of an English
farmers club Prof. Mcbride spoke
Of the difficulty OF administering
medicine to pig. He said: To
dose a pig which you are sure 70
choke if you attempt to make him
drink while squealing, halter him
as you would for execution and tic
the rope end to stake. He will pull
back until the rope end is tightly
strained. When he has ceased his
uproar and begins to reflect, APP
proach him, and between the back
part of the jaw insert an old shoe,
from which you have cut the toe
leather. This he will Mt once begin
to suck and chew. Through II pour
medicine and he will swallow any
quantity you please"

The Deserted City.

Goldsmith wrote. "The Deserted
Village" If some poetical Ameri-
can desires to "see" Goldsmith and
GO him one better, let him take
THE Deserted City" for his sub
ject. He will find it in Pennsylva-
MIA, and it's name is Pithole. Met
aphorically it is both a pit and a
hole now. 1t began business in
June '65, and in one year was a
city of $4,000 inhabitants, with ali
that that implies. 1t had daily pa
pers, and hotels that cost $4,000.
In 81 the slide down hill commenc
ed, and was a most unequivocal sue
cess. A $4,000 hotel was sold for
1920. sand people began to burn
down their houses to get the insur-
ance. There are now only four
families in Pithole.

CellulOid.

Celluloid somewhat loudly called
attention to itself by the startling
explosion it caused in Newark, N.
j., the other day, running a block
of buildings and killing several
men. Celluloid promises soon to
supplant ivory. las it is much cheap
er and equals ivory in hardness and
elasticity, while it excels it in
many qualities. Celluloid is made
by mixing gum camphor with a
pulp of gun cotton, and subjecting
the combination to a high degree
of pressure and heat. The result
is q hard product of extraordinary
toughness and elasticity. 1t con
be made plastic again and moulded
into any required form. Any color
can be given it by the use of color
ing matter during the process of
manufacture. The uses to which
celluloid is put are numerous and
are constantly increasing. 1t has
proved a good material for piano
and organ keys, billiard balls, backs
of brushes, looking glass frames,
handles for knives, forks, umbrellas
and many other articles. 1t is also
used with much success to initiate
tortoise shell, malachite, amber,
pink coral and other costly materl
ais. In imitation of tortoise shell
it is made into combs, napkin rings,
match boxes, card cases, etc. Imi
tations of pink coral jewelry are
made and sold at prices much be
low those of the genuine. The
same is true of limitations of mala-
chite and amber. Mouth pieces for
pipes, cigar holders, etc., are COM
mon. 1t is also used as a substi-
tate for porcelain in dolls heads.
The frames of eye glasses, opera
glasses, and spectacles are made of
it. More recently it has come into
use in combination with linen, cot
ton or paper, for shirt bosoms, cuffs
and collars.

New Philadelphia, Ohio, has q
marvel in the shape of petrifying
child, which is attracting great at
tention and exciting general won
der. The hardness has gradually
spread over the entire body, some
portions being so hard that not the
slightest indentation can be made.
The case is said to be without a
parallel in the history of the coun-
try, and the singular disease has
thus far baffled all medical skill.
How the child can live in this
solidified state is the greatest mys-
terry. The parents are greatly
grieved over its sad aff1icti on,
and are doing everything in their
power for its relief.

Old Times In Tennessee.

The other day group of politi-
clans were in Post Master General
Keys room, in Washington, talking
Of old times in Tennessee. Gen.
Key had quite q good deal to
say about Andrew johnson. He
said that he had curried his horse.
Andrew johnson used to stop at
his fathers who was a farmer, and
young Key always had the job OF
polishing his horse. In this case
the future President had for groom

says that johnson was one OF

The new cotton mills that are
springing up over the South seem
to be meeting with great success.
By their agency the seed cotton is
spun on the plantations, as it hith-
erto has been ginned there. It is
estimated that one hundred Of these
mills will be erected in Georgia
during 1880. The mills now in
operation pay from thirty to sixty
per cent. A mill which cost So, 500

thought will do better this year.
They are small structures, looking
like country gristmills, and are run
by q six-horse power engine.

LYRA INCANTATA.
BIZ THEODORE TILToN.

Within castle haunted,
As castles were of old,
There hung harp enchanted,
And on its rim OF gold
This legend was enscrolled:
Whatever bard would win me,
Must strike and wake within me,
BY one supreme endeavor,
A chord that sounds forever
Three bards of Tyre and viol,
By mandate of the king,
Were hidden to trial
To find the magic string,
If there were such thing),
Thea, after mach essaying
Of tuning, came the playing;
And lords and ladies splendid
Watched as those bards commended.
The first q minstrel hoary,
Who many thyme had spun
Sang loud of war and glory
Of ba tiles fought and won;
But when his song was done,
Although the bard was laudcd,
And clapping hands applauded,
Yet, spite of the lsudatior,
The heart ceased its vibration.
The second changed the measure
And turned from fire and sword
To sing song,of pleasure
The wine-cup and the board
Till at the wit all roared..
And the high hall resounded
With merriment unboundedi
The harp-loud as the laughter
Grew hushed at that, soon after.
The third, in lovers fashion,
And with his soul on fire,
Then sang of loves pure passion
The heart and its desired
And, as he smote the wire,
The listeners, gathering round him,
Caught up wreath and crowned hin
The crown--hath faded neverl
The harp -resounds foreveri

Pandora's box seems To have been
opened anew in Europe. In addi-
ton To the cry of suffering In the
numerous places hitherto noticed,
Italy now puts IN her claims to the
charitable notice Of the world. In
the northern provinces OF Naples
the fever is raging as cOncomitant
OF famine, and the suffering exceeds
that of any other section. In pop
ulation of $1,000 persons $4,000 are
down with typhoid fever and 3.423
persons have died within the last
six months. In Ireland the starv-
ing people are clamoring for bread
breaking into the baker shops and
taking forcibly that which they are
suffering for so greatly. In Cork
the police are doubled and armed
with firearms for the purpose Of
keeping down bread riots. There
they are qnarrelsome for the want
of bread, here they are quarreling
because they have plenty.

Booth registered as a guest at the

He was there on the 18th of that

found that he had, with a diamond,
inscribed upon pane of a window
in his bedroom these words:
