 President Johnson was another cu- Tious eater, did not know much about him when he was president, but about twenty years before, when he hIst came to congress, he boarded at the National awhile and waited on him. He was an old-fashioned, healthy eater, and his ta-

He had way of smelling every. thing before he tasted it. and sometimes he would sniff so you could hear him clear across the table. He always used red handkerchief 10 wipe his mouth with hs wouldn't have a napkin. lie always drank about five glasses of water while he was eating, and people laughed at him for using hls knife instead ot his fork. He was great huttermilk thinker. and never put a glass down till it was empty. He had the bToadcst upper lip you ever saw. aud when he put the glass down you could sec broad white streak almost two inches wide under his nose Sometimes he wiped it of and sometimes he didn't, and then he would scowl around at everybody to see what they were laughing at.

Norwegian Hospitality.
ll.ondon Salnr.iaY krvIew. 1

Nothing is pleasantcr than the aniva at retired Norwegian inn after lon, days walking There stands the land lord, d spare, nimhie-looking figure, witt . shock of reddish hair, quecrly -cu and ireckled face, and eyes brimmint with good humor. He at once inquires in the dlreciest way, respecting youl movements, where you started from, ho~ many days you have been or you, journey, whether you intend going far. ther, and so forth. You feel at once thal this style Of accost is not imperinence co but friendly curiosity and worn out with your days toll, you gladly resign your. self and your conGeTns to such kindly and efficient handsF The whole house is soon actively employed in providing foi your wants. Fresh pink trout, timed meats, which are savory and lusciou, enough to the tired pedestrian, and q dish of siewed wild fruit arc set before you, and, pcradvepture, a bottle of good wine is unearhed from some remote cellar to give yet more festal character to the repast.
 Your entertainer could hardly make more of you II, instead of being for eigner happening to pass by, you were 4 long expected son from America. lf you are alone he will gladly chat with you after your supper about his farm, the hardships of winter, the impoverishmeni of the country by emigration, the pros. porous doings Of his children in the IA, west, and the great constitutions al struggle which has Of late agita,ed every patriotic Norwegian's breast In hls turn he will ask for information from you questioning you with delightful frankness about your home, family, profession, etc By such Inuius; coss ss1s.ess yosS hissdiy footing in the house is firmly established and, as there's little in the building itself to remind you that you are at an inn you soon grow quite oblivious ofths fact. If you prolong your stay he will be ready to do the part of friendly hos, still further, showing you over his farm with its goodly finely carved rorehouse (stabur), its elaborate system ofirrigation, and so forth. Or fl you wish to outwi, the willy trout, he will conduct you 10 the best pools Of the neighboring river.
 The rigorous monopolization of the spirit traffic by the government makes the whisky flask particularly good bond of friendship in country districts far from the stores. And then the NorwegiAn's . love of things English will set high value on g spare book or other home product which you happen to find in your porimanteau. When the day for saying adisu to your kindly host arrives there will be unmis,aksble signs of sad ness on both sides. The landlord has quite forgotten the triHing circumstance that you have bii! to pay. and only hsings forward the regning 7 after many demands, and even then in an awkward apologetic manner. It need hardly be added that the charges are of the usaai moderate kind and that the good man has probably dore himself the wrong ol emitting one or two serious items-sach as his Last bottle of wine.

The Upright Man.
ICarl Pretzel's Weekly.

kOaTI WtCklJ
 To delineate the character of an up. right man, man of integrity, is plain one, and easily understood.
 He is one who makes it his constant rule to follow the road of duty, as his conscience points out to him.
 He is no, guided merely by afecta- tions, which may sometimes give the color sf virtue to 8 loose and unstable character.
 The upright man is guided by fixed principle of mind, which determines him to esteem nothing but what IS honorable, and to abhor whatever IS base and ur- worthy in moral conduct
 Hence you ind him ever the same, at all times the trusiy friend, the affection ate relation, the conscientious man oi business, and the public-spirited citizen.
 He assuues no borrowed appearance.
 He seeks no mask to cover him, for he acts no studied part; but he is in truth what he appears to be, full of truth, can. dor and humanity.
 In all pursuits, whether business or po- litical, he knows no part but the fair and direct one, and would much rather fail of success than attain it by reproachful means.
 He never sho~s you smiling coun:e- nance while he meditates evil against you in his heart
 He never praises you among your friends and then joins in traducing you among enemies.
 You will never find one part of his character af variance with another.
 In his manners he is simple and un- affected in all his proceedings open and consistent
 Such is the man of integrity.
The Arkansaw traveler., 1884-12-20

Frozen Facts" is a purely American expression, and one, too, ot recent origin. It has the merit of attracting attention, and also seems to bear conviction oi truthfulness on its face. We make room in our issue of to-day, for a fact of this character. A correspondent, Henry Whiting, Esq, of Boston, Mass, says z Dr. K. v. Piefce's Golden Medics; Discovcry' has cured my son of fever. sore of two years standing.
