The inauguration of President Johnson was very different affair from that which has just taken place. There was no pageant, no public exercises, no rejoicing. One of the few eye-witnesses, Colonel J. R. O'Beirne, who was at that time District Provost Mar shal, thus describes it: The whole thing was conducted quietly, and the outside world knew nothing of what was transpiring in the parlor of the Kirkwood House A long, narrow, high walled room, plainly and neatly furnished and carpeted, as all old-fashioned hotel parlors are, with few small marble top tables in the centre, huge old-fashioned brass chandeliers overhead, would outline the makeup of this room. There was no Bible to be had on ly sent for. MT. Johnson came in from his apartment up stairs, and joined the party awaiting him. He looked very sad and was quite taciturn. When he spoke it was in a low tone and with huskness that betokened an indignation, if not subdued rage, which was xplicables-s0aercouid not tell wheth- CT it was on account of spirit of resent ment at the murder of MT. Lincoln, or be- cause it placed him as his successor in a new and trying position to which he was unused. The oath was delivered by Chief Justice Chase, in the slow, solemn intonation of one in deep grief, and the heavy, robust sound of his strong voice, when he chose to exert it.
 filled the large chamber in all its parts, and sounded like the invocation of one of our fsrvid divines when addressing the Deity. MT. Johnson held jointly with him the Old Testament in his right hand, without the sign of a vibration, and leaned with the other on his fnger-tips upon the table before him, kissed the book and then prepared to return to his humble room on the floor above

Governor Jackson, of West Virginia, takes strong ground in his inaugural against the national government having anything to do with the education of the young. ''In the variety of systems of education" he says,
 (which each State will institute for itself ,and each striving to have the best, in the dlversi- ties of their interests and pursuits. there will be an education of the people, a selfpower to seek the best and do the best" The best answer to this is the existing state of things.
 It is believed that the railroad tie of the future will be cut from the beautiful catalpa tree. The Fort Scott, Texas and Gulf rail road have planted 300 acres of young trees, and the Iron Mountain railroad 100 acres,
 near Charleston, Mo. On the track bed of the latter company ties of this wood have lain in the muddy silt of the Mississippi for twelve years, and are still in a good state of preservation. They have outlasted two sets of white oak ties, and bid fair to sur vive the third. Fence posts in Indiana and Illinois are now sound after having been in service for forty, fifty, and even sev- enty-five years. In the muddy regions about Cairo, where it is grown extensively, it is used as ''corner stones' for the most sub stantial buildings. It is of an elastic nature, but not so soft and light as cottonwood. Dr.
 John A. Warder, president of the American Forestry Association, claims for the catalpa a durability and power of resistance to the influence of the clements possessed by no other wood. It is found in the Mississippi valley and on the shores of the tributaries of the great river. It bears large white, high ly perfumed flower, and grows quite rapidly
 ,Bismarck's plan for governm ental labor in ton in Europe. As finally developed, says the Springfield Repu6tScom this measure pur- poses to provide compulsory insurance for the entire mass of unskilled labor and for all skilled labor below the higher grades
 Miners, masons, builders, operators and all laborers whose work requires no long ap- prenticeship are required to insure in gov ernment offices against accidents illness or death. The premiums are to be paid partly by the laborer, partly by the employer, and the entire cost of superintendence is to be borne by the State. In the case of laborers whose wages are under $1s7 year, two-thirds the premium will be paid by the employer and the rest furnished by the poor rate.

Reducing Stocks,

The other evening, observing
smouldering heap Of half-consumed
packages in front Of Stephenson &
Wade's Drug Store, we inquired:
What'su Charlie? Burning up
your pills and pizens? u
ooh no, said he, "we're just get
ting off our stock Of garden seeds,
And is that the way you reduce
stocks? ?" we cnquired
That's the way we reduce stocks
in this line, at the end Of every
season"
Then at our request Mr.. Wade
proceeded to explain, that Of the
garden seeds they handled, no old
stocks were carried over, TO be sold
by mistake or otherwise as fresh
seeds, to the great disappointment
Of farmers and vegetable growers,
who often lose an entire crop by
getting old seeds that will not grow.
At some time after the seeding
season is over, and before the next
comes around, the agent of the
grower Of these seeds comes along,
takes an inventory Of the stock left
over, for purposes Of settlement, and
sees that the old seeds are burned
then and there, and a fresh supply
Of last years growth is sent on in
time for the coming season.
This, it seems to US, is the only
way Of making it impossible.for old
and worthless seeds to find their
way into gardens to disappoint and
plague the gardeners.

Exchange Notes.

We mourn and are comfortless
because our good brother Jacobs, of
the Wellsburg Herald, copies our
true and original story of "Jones
and Raw Eggs" without giving us
credit. Not that we care so much
for ourself, but our hero and fast
friend, Jones, is entitled to some
consideration, and as the world
learns of the great wrong thrust
upon him, the nations should know
that the patient Jones still dispen-
seth sandwiches and coffee to hun
CRY travellers at the Petersburg
Depot; this that sympathy might
avail in compensating patronage.
We felt better, however, in finding
the same copied in the Wetzel Dem
ocrat, and afectionately credited to

terry.

Its nobody's business where we
picked up the following, Wen
simply remark that the scene is To-
Gated in Parkersburg, and the
name Sidenhraker is used because
it is the wrong one; and the enemy
now having capitulated to cold
weather, preventing any risk to
mirrors by giving the example, we
proceed, Just as we got it.
Mr. Sidenbraker came down stairs
the other night in his sleeping
gown, swinging Il twelve pound
pillow ut arms length, murmuring
vengeance as he went.
All at once, bang went something
against a partition, and the house
fairly shook, as he shouted,
Hanged if ! didn't fix you that
time"
Yes" shouted Mrs. S. from the
head OF the stairs, "and you've fixed
the chandeliers, too; they are on
the floor shattered in a thousand
pieces"
"Let 'em gol" yelled Mr. S. and,
whang, went the pillow again; this
time on the wing; and it went
hurting through the parlor mirror,
the picture of Washington's recep-
ton of Lafayette, two large vases,
and bronze statute Of Moses 'strik-
ing the rock "Ah, hal / got you,
too, hanged if | didn't; and III get
more of you"
At this Mrs. S. squalled out:
"Mr Sidenbraker, what in the
name Of goodness is the matter?
Are you crazy?"
CRAZY? No But hang me if ]
don't clean the "skceters"outof this
house; they've eat me up. ! wish
the snow was seven feet deep and
icicles were hanging around our
house fourteen feet long. | wish
summer would never come, andthat
