A STORY OF ANDREW JOHNSON.

The First Time lie Drew His Pay as
Brigadior General-So Communication.
l shall never forget the first time John
son drew his pay as brigadier general
and the time he had of it. When the
paymaster entered the office | said to
myself, II have seen That face before"
and all Of q sudden it flashed upon me
that l had heard the voice and seen the
man before me, now clad in Federal uni
form, play Mick of tho Woods and the
Idiot Witness" and other real old blood
~and-thunder, stem winding curdlers dur
ing hat time in my life when / preferred
Jack Sheppard" to the "Hunchback."
and l was not mistaken, for the pay
master was none other than Mr.. William
b.. Fleming, the Jibbenaiosay of the old
National theatre, of Boston, in 1854.
Neither the governor, Browning, nor
myself had ever seen q pay account be-
fore, 80 Maj. Fleming explained to john
son all about his pay proper, commuta-
ton for fuel, quarters, allowance for
three horses, etc.
The dialogue between the paymastcr
M Johnson lasted nearly an hour, and
concluded about as follows: But. major,
/ haven't purchased any coal; there's at
least 100 tons right under where you are
standing. and it is all mine, or az much
OF it as | want to use. / have tho best
Of quarters across tho way that | have
contiscated, SO to speak, and my only
expense is for gas" yes, but you don't
seem to understand, governor, that you
are allowed a certain amour Of money
for quarters, fuel, feed for horses, etc;
blu If you get any of these things, or all
Of them, for nothing, so much tho better
for you. You are just SO much in
don't you see? You are not only en-
titled to it, but you must receive it and
sign for it,"
well, major, you are very courteous
and very plausible in your explanations;
but all hell can't convince me that
should sign for and accept money for
fuel and house rent and horse feed that
/ haven't spent money for, and which
l get for nothing; and I'm just simply
damned If I'll do it," And ho never did,
and Fleming counted out his brigadier's
pay 70 him, minus communication allow
ances, and retired from his presence n
highly Disguised and badly demoralized
e~x-tragedian with the words con-
founded fool on his murmuring lips.
Some time afterward I met Maj. Flem-
ing, and he said: well they may say
what the please about old Andy, but
there's one thing certain, he's dead or
the square."-Ben c.. Truman in Me-

demonstrates her ability to provide for

Tho Decoration In Autumn.

The autumn is a time of special do
light to the decorator. One Of the things
she will do will be to take a dozen fluffy
thistles and as many cat-tails, with a
smoothly. planed pine board to her work
room. She will gild the board in dark
gold. Around the edge she will tack
two rows Of rope, drawing them into a
bow knot at the left hand upper corner,
will fringe out the ends Of the bow and
then gild the rope and bow in bright
gold. The c~at-tails she will carefully
touch in gold and will bronze the stems.
She will gild tho stems Of the thistlea
and then spatter the liquid gold over
their puff ball tops till they sparkle like
the sun. Then she will take a bunch Of
autumn leaves and gild them as near to
nature as she can, leaving a few of the
dark green and dull brown leaves to
neutralize tho whole. She will lay tho
cat-tails on the board, grouping her this.
ties beneath them, and finishing with
the leaves at the bottom. She will tie the
bunch with a bow Of coarse cord, and
then gild the cord. The plaque is then
ready to be hung up, md is n credit TO

A FAMOUS DIARY VILLAGE.

Cheese and Butter Industry of Northern
Holland-A Glimpse OF Brock.
One boatload of excursionists, such as
is seen every Sunday on the bay Of San
Francisco, would drive all Holland from
Helder to Rotterdam and from The Ha-
que to Zutphen, to the verge of distrac-
ton. The voyagers are of the tranquil
sort. If there is any hilarity it is a for
eign element. They do not generally
exceed twenty or thirty, chiefly inhab-
itants of the villages that border the ca
nal, or farmers from the houses that APP
pear here and there on the face of the
country like islands, and as some Of
these are surrounded by n dyke, and o
ditch with a drawbridge, islands there
are indeed capable of being defended
like n medieval castle, against all COM
ers. There is probably on the boat a man
you in a melancholy tone that cheese
has fallen. This is sad, for if there is
one thing more than another that the
causal traveller is interested in, it is the
price of cheese.
Cheese and butter are closely related
to the prosperity Of the North Holland
canal, because several villages along it
are engaged in that industry. One of
these is Brock, which lies about midway
between Amsterdam and Monnikendam,
and has for untold ages been famous for
its diaries and its neatness. Formerly
everybody went to Brock, for fear that
II he did not when he got home all his
friends would ask him in chorus, Have
you been to Brock" and he would re.
l~uctantly be compelled to answer, No"
Brock lies along it's main dyke and scat
tered over considerable space behind it.
1t has tho usual allowance Of small
canals, several neat shaded streets, and
a church or two, for it has some 600
inhabitants who live by butter and
cheese alone.
We did not land at Brock, but as we
g.idad along almost under tho shade Of
its trees we made an acquaintance with
it that was sufficiently intimate. 1t
turned for our benefit it's back doors to
the canal, and about them were hang
ing dairy utensils shining in the adult
terated sunlight. 1t also left it's stable
doors open, that travellers might gaze
therein inc remark, though the spotted
cows were grazing in the meadows, the
porcelain stalls in which they pass the
winter and the appliance for attaching
their troublesome tails to the ~spotless
ceiling. Travellers have recovered from
their commonplace in~fatuation regard
ing Brock, and are now contented to
study Dutch cleanliness in 10 generic
way in towns less noted for that virtue,
and simply rs IN incident of passage.
The fact is. personal neatness is less ex-
ceptional in Europe than it was Atty
years ago.-Amsterdam Cor. San Fran
cisco Chronicle.

A TOO MATHEMATICAL LOVER.


1t Isn't Always Prudent to Lot Figures
Tell Too Much Truth.
We have read of oriental arithmetics
that put silver custors under the multi
~plication table and cover it with Damnsk
drapery; but even oriental imagination
could never make it serve az n pleasant
piece de courtship. There il no concord
between signing and cipherinH; statistics
are sure death to sentiment.
a young English statistician who was
paying court to a young lady thought to
surprise her with his immense erudition.
Producing his note boob she thought no
was about to incite a love sonnet, but
was slightly taken aback by the follow
ing question:
"How many meals do you eat a day9"
why, three of course; but Of all the
oldest questions"
Never mind, dear, III toll you all
about il in a moment"
His pencil was rapidly at work. At
last fondly clasping her slender waist
"Now, my darling, I've got it, and if
you wish to know how much has passed
through that adorable little mouth in
the last seventeen years, / can give you
the exact figures"
Goodness gracious! What can you
mean?"
Now just listen" says he, and you
will hear exactly what you have been
obliged to absorb to maintain those
charms which are to make the happiness
of my life"
But l don't want to hear"
"Ah, you are surprised. no doubt, but
statistics are wonderful things. Just
listen. You are now II years old, 30

jumping up, exclaimed:
Il think you are very impertinent and
disgusting besides, and 1 will not stay to
listen to your upon which she flew into
the house.
He gazed after her with an abstracted
air and left, saying to himself:
IF she kept talking at that rat twelve
hours out Of twenty four her jaws would
in twenty years travel n distance of

Mira. southworth's Road to Success.

Mrs. Emma ID. f.. Novitt Southworth
stumbled in n wa upon her popularity
as a novelist. intellectually, her work
has never bean above mediocrity-it
may have been below-but it has
brought in far moro money than il it

giant, improbable commonplaces will
serve to this end. Mrs. hewitt, having
been marie at %, was deserted by her
husband after bearing him two chill
dren, and thrown entirely on her own
resources. She taught school in Wash

Locomotives for tho Transcaspian.

Much interest has been excited among
engineers by the construction, under d.
rection of the Russian government, Of
some locomotive cars Of a special typo
for the ~Transcaspian railway, and built
SO as to meet two difficulties, viz. tho
waterlcss character of n large section Of
the line, and the insignificant ordinary
traffic. To meet the former the locomo-
tive car is provided with tanks contain
ing sufficient water to last seventy miles;
and, as the waterleSs stretch from Mi
chaelovsk to kazantchik is about fifty
miles III length, this supply is
amply sufficient under any contingent
cies that may occur. With regard to
the second difficulty, the locomotive is
constructed with a car connected to it,
and capable Of conveying eighty PAS
eengers. The locomotive car is warmed
by h exhaust steam from the engine,
by which arrangement an important
economy in the consumption Of fuel re-
sults.-Ncw York Sun.

Tobacco Inspections.

Efforts will be made at the present session
of the Legislature to abolish the compulsory
tobacco inspection system. The Governor has
recommended its abolition and there seems to
be a sentiment to that end, but curiously
enough it prevails where tobacco is not grown,
and where little knowledge of the great bene-
fits of the system obtains. The system may
need improvement, which can be done by
amending the present law but to abolish it,
would be putting the tobacco growers of
Southern Maryland at the mercy of warehouse
owners and middle men. If prices are not
remunerative, the planter has free storage and
can hold until prices improve. Abolish the
system, and the growers will either have to
sell at once, or have their profits greatly re-
duced by storage charges.
The ADVOCATE several years ago fully dis
cussed the subject, and will not go into it
again, but will remark that it hopes that the
delegation from Carroll will not aid in de-
stroying this, the almost only safeguard the
farmers of Maryland have. Tobacco growers
desire the retention of the present system.
The war on state inspections, started in
1880 by Gov Hamilton, has done injury to
all, and lessened the states revenues. 1t
would be better to restore all, especially the
cattle scales, to their former status. When
the state steps out, in will come the Baltimore
& Ohio railroad and other corporations, that
already have too many privileges.
