Thus was I Illuminating upon the goOdly

meet but group of Swiss peasants, just
ashore from the NOrmandte. Among
them was a tall, bony young fellow,
strong and supple as a mountaineer. He
wore, among other articles of national
costume a broad brimmed hat in fact he
seemed all hat, and at his hatband what
might one behold but large cluster of
edelweiss
Here indeed was a sou Yenir of Alpine
peaks and valleys, a veritable fragment of
Swiss fora. What a choice object to

Andrew Johnson's Peculiar OratOry.
IBen: Perley Poor. e.

Andrew johnson, then senator from
Tennessee, spoke for two long days in
opposition to secession. His manner of
speaking was peculiar to himself, and not
very agreeable. lie had two distinct
tones of voice, and they were as opposite
to each other as possible. and alternated
so constantly that an auditor who should
have heard without seeing him would
almost have thought this speech was made
by two different persons. His manner
was deliberate, and he spoke eXtempore
and often in a conversational tone, raising
his voice to loud pitch whenever he was
particularly reused or earnest
He had all the southern peculiarities of
pronunciation and said dissolution for
Z dissolution, " "keer" for "care, ETC.
His speeches were rambling and loose in
construction and he repeated himself end
lessly, and yet, with all these disadvant
ages, he made so many strong points and
brought 10 bear such a mass and variety
of authority that he was very effective.

old year were marked by an almost con-
tinuous snowstorm, which made total
