THIRD EDITdON
HOW GEN. JOHNSTON DIED.

"A TOUCHING EPISODE OF THE LATE
WAR HITHERTo UNPUBLIsHED.
From the Austin (rex.) Statesman.
On Sunday, the 9th Of April, 1852,
Johnston, with his eager army, began
bis fateful light. He handled his ardent
army with brilliant skill and impetuos-
ity. Whenever there was q pause In the
onward movement he led the charge In
person. To those who saw him that day
as the writer did, in all the glorious
fever Of delirious success, mounted upon
a magnificent steed, his massive ngure
seeming to enlarge TO gigantic size with
the ardor OF battle, his face ahame with
his indomitable spirit Of fight, he was
the ideal embodiment OF the fiery es-
sance Of war.
He threw himself with reckless indif-
ference into danger. And the last charge
that broke the Federal position was led
BY him in person under q perfect blaze
of flame aud hail, his horse shot in four
places, his clothes pierced, his foot-sole
cut by a minnie, but his person untouch-
ed. II was In this supreme moment OF
victorious onset, q decisive triumph
seemingly and surely In his eager grasp,
that fatal bullet struck him, small
wound under the knee, sevsring the
popliteal artery.
Gov. Harris of Tennessee, who was
on his staff, rode up to him. seeing him
reel in his saddle, aud holding him
steady, asked him:
"General, are you wounded?"
He replied deliberately and with en-
phasis ayes, and fear seriously"
He was lifted TO the ground. His
boot was full of blood and the life cur.
rent pouring out beyond recall. He
never spoke again. Gen. Preston knelt
by him, and asked him pa'sionately:
"Gen. Johnston do you know me?"
Gen. Johnston smiled family. Lying
In q ravlne out Of range Of the merciess
bullets, he was dead in twinkling.
Could Gen. johnson have had imme-
dia.e medical attention. he would have
survived. HIS saf surgeon vas DR..
David w. Yarnall, Of Kentucky, aud he
was away from him under circumstances
that constitute the most touching and
beautiful feature Of this romantic death.
The Federals in retreating left, of course,
their wounded behind. In riding for
ward Gen. Johnston came across squad
of wounded Federal soldiers. Stopping,
he kindly addressed them, and asked II
any were badly wounded. Then turn
ing to his staff he remarked
at nearly breaks my heart to see men
in that uniform suffering, Doctor" ad-
dressing Yandell ado stop and see II
you can do something for these poor
fellows"
DIR. Yandell stopped on this humane
mission, and Gen. Johnston owed his
death to the absence of skill and lnstru-
ments, and this absence was due to his
tender humanity 10 the wounded foe-a
humanity the more striking because il
was exhibited in all the excitement OF
battle.

THE NEXT CONGRESSIONAL AP-
PORTIONMENT.

WASHINGTON, November 5.-General
Walker, Superintendent OF tbe Census,
said to-day that by the middle Of Decem-
DER he would have complete and periec-
ted tables of the population ready to
transmit to Congress, and the new APP
portioument could be made at once. If
the ratio of apportionment should not be
changed the House of Representatives,
under the new census, will consist of
36S members, an unwleldy body. 1t is
probable that the basis will be changed
so as TO give about 800 members, half
a dozen more than now.

There in Philadelphia a clothing house which has
double in all the world. The world is full of clothing
houses and good deal that unlike all the
First, in dealings and it surprising that one house
should suffer much from another. Selling clothing is SO
simple matter that it likely, would suppose, to be
done in very much the way Philadelphia, New York;
and London. But Philadelphia ahead and curously
enough house in Philadelphia ahead Of all the rest
To be ahead in dealing is to deal higher plan
liberal way, give tho buyer more we'll founded
confidence without loss of the merchants safety This
Phla clothing house says stranger awe want to deal
with Justice We what belongs u.s. viz fair
profit and you have what belongs to you VIZ,
liberal moneys worth Our to arrive at this result to
mark price everything SELL which price is absoute
let you buy what you like go away and think the bar
gain over and and trade back if you want to- We
find by experience that this nberaity is harmless to u.s. of
course you like it. And it makes quick and ready dealing
We don't you bring back what you buyt would
cost money every time; but would rather you would
bring back than keep what you don't like So, try
see that you get at what you will like the BETTER the
you know of it. This really the whole philosophy of
our dealing Is any wonder that other clothing house
in this city, New York, London deals in the
way?
Second its goods-the amount and variety of them.
There are other houses where excellent clothing kept and
great deal of but there none anywhere, that keeps
so much The dealing related above has the largest
trade the world has yet To supply such trade great
quantity and variety of clothing required and these
in increase the trade because everybody likes to
choose of many things rather than out of few.
This is the country of ready-made clothing. Great
makes the of any European country but there
all London any clothing business quarter large
as that of Hall New York has several large clothing
businesses but nearly equal to that of Oak Hall

Home Made Feather Buster

A feather duster is an article
the convenience Of which every
housewife appreciates, but it IS Of
ten too expensive for many farmers
to buy. For all such, some hints
as to how a duster of equal utility
and durability to store one may
be made at home from the feathers
that would otherwise 60 to waste,
may be useful. If beauty is not
sought, any round stick Of the prop
err Size. such as the end of the
broom handle, will serve for the
handle of the brush; if one happens
to have an old buster handle that
can be used once more. With adeep
make a series of grooves Or saw
notches in the lower end Of the han
die. By the aid Of hammer the
lower portion of each quill should
be so fattened as to pass into the
grooves. As fast as the feathers
are put in they should be tied with
strong Irvine, and as the work pro
ceeds glue should be added that
the feathers may be more firmly
fastened. In this way new rows
of feathers, followed by the Irvine
and glue, may be added, until the
end is completely covered and the
buster is OF sufficient size, after
which the finishing row Of large
feathers, selected tor the purpose, IS
placed around the whole, and tight
iy bound with Irvine. Outside OF
the base of this last row Of feathers
a neat strip Of leather may be glued
to both improve the appearance and
tender the feathers more secure. A
brush thus made will serve all the
