Andy Johnson's S Doc.

The following is from the Washington cor
respondence OF the Cleveland Herald:
Representative Pettibone of Tennessee,
who sjust been renomnated for Congress
by acclamation, is native of Bedford, Ohio,
and formally attended Hiram college, and
was pupil of the lamented Garfield. Since
the war he has resided in Greenville, East
Tennessee, the late home of President John
| son. He says the old homestead looks very
much as it did during the lifetime of the
tailor President, and is now occupied by his
daughter, Mrs. Patterson, who presided dur
lng his administration as the lady of the
White House. The little tailors shop where
Mr. Johnson used to work at his trade still
stands almost unchanged from its former ap-
pearance. THE last time saw Mr.. John

Sunday evening before his death. often

himself freely during my visits. l had a
little dog which had, in my admiration
for the great soldier of the war, called
Grant. But Johnson disliked Gen. Grant
so much that he could never bear to hear
his name, and he always called the dog

that he was approaching the limit of canine

The SaEiIa mountains are dotted with runs of ancient shelters of kind that are not in use anywhere at the present day. The native New Mexican or Span Ish people do not appear to have &C., quired the mode of erecting them from the Indians. Even the Pueblo of to-day seem To be ignorant 1f ths manner oi their construction. They We're cheap and simple but they answered the pur- pose admirably. But in no instance has any indication of the existence of 90 stamp mill been found in the Sandias This would show that ancient mining Was not restricted Co the working of free gold. and that the extraction of gold from smelling ore was understood. But It Is undeniaDle that discoveries m the modes of obtaIning gold from com bIuatiOus of ores have recently been made that could never have been known tO the ancIents, and this IS proven by the fact that much of the slag now found near these old smelters contains gold in considerable quantities. Yet the records, histories and traditions agree that gold was obtained in fabulous amounts. With modern appliances and new and cheap methods, the yield should be much greater. Gold ore in whatever shane can now be cheaply treated and not an atom lost. When one takes into con sideration the great bulk of gold taken out of the Sandiss by the Indians ID their crude way. he must be convinced of the wonderful richness of these noun aims. There is every reason t0 believe that the Sandias will eventually be regarded as the greatest of all Nes Mexican mining districts BernaGllu News

A MOST SINGULAR ESCAPE.

Davenport Gaze ic, Ft0TUary I3.
 One of the most singular adventures and wonderful escapes from death ever recorded took place in thls city Satur- day morning. At that time Mrs. Peter Anderson, who lives in tue vicinity 0t the Halfway House, and who had beeL up town, was returning tO her home. She had tO cross the railroad. Just then C., E. < Q. tram was coming and she stepped back m the C., l. |. k P track Co allow the train tO pass, not noticing that at the same time train wus back ing down toward her on the C., R. l. < P. road. The latter train struck her be- fore she was aware of its coming and knocked her down, she falling im- mediately between the rails. The train csme on and the cars passed over her prostrated body, the brakes and trucks striking her successive hard thum ps. The locomotive was the last to reach her. and it's irebOx, coming very near tue ground, pushed and rolled her for some distance. Fortunately q cattlegudrd was near, and when she reached 1t the firebOx forced her between the ties into the guard, and the locomotive passed on. These ties are close together, and 1t IS not understood how she could have been forced between them without kill ing her, but the fact remains. She was picked up and attended by Dr. Sloan, who at first thought that she was dan gerOusly hurtss Her skull had sustained a slight fracture, and the flesh had 0een torn from her body in several places. Her shoes and stockings had been ripped of. Subsequent examination, however, proved that her wounds are not fatal, and with proper care she can recover. She Is a young woman, and has been only recently married. She owes her life to a fortunate combination of circumstances, and to the fact that she IS not a very large woman. After one has been through such an ordeal as that there need not be much fear of death from accident At the last re- port she was doing very we'll
