JOHNSON Vas DRUNK.
Condition of Llncaln's Vice President .
the Inauguration.


tho Inauguration.
Noah Brooks tells the following story
in his personal "reminiscences of Lincoln
in the Century:
IAN eyes were turned to the main
entrance, where, precisely on the stroke
of twelve, appeared Andrew johnson,
vice president elect, arm in arm with
Hannibal Hamlin, whose term of office
was now expiring. They took seats to-
gether on the dais of the presiding Off
Ger, and Hamlin made brief and sens
ible speech, and Andrew johnson,
whose face was extraordinarily red,
was presented to take the oath. 1t is
needless to say here that the unfortu-
nate gentleman, who had been very i'll,
was not altogether sober at this i'm
portant moment of his life. In order
to strengthen himself for the physical
and mental ordeal through which he.
was about to pass he had taken stiff
drink of whisky in the room of the vice
president, and the warmth of the sem
ate chamber, with possibly other phys
ical conditions, had sent the fiery liquor
to his brain. He was evidently intoxiI
Gated.
As he went on with his speech he
turned upon the cabinet officers and
addressed them as "Mr. Stanton"
''Mr. Seward" etc, without the official
handles to their names. Forgetting
Mr.. Welles' name, he said, ''and YOU
'Mr. -" Then leaning over to Col.
Forney, he said: what is the name of
the secretary of the navy?" and then
continued as though nothing had hap
pened. Once in awhile, from the re-
porters' gallery, could observe Ham,
lin nudging johnson from behind, re-
minding him that the hour for the in
auguration ceremony had passed. The,
speaker kept on, although President
Lincoln sat before him, patiently watt.

| be over.
The study Of the faces below was in-i
teresting. Seward was as bland and,
serene as a summer day; Stanton.
appeared to be petrifed; Wenes' face
was usually void of any expression;
Speed sat with his eyes closed; Denni-
son was red and white by turns. Among
the union senators Henry Wilson's face
was flushed; Sumner wore a saturnine.
and sarcastic smile, and most of the
others turned and twisted in their sem
atorial chairs as if in long drawn agony.
OF the supreme bench, Judge Nelson
only was apparently moved, his lower
jaw being dropped clean down in blank
horror. Chase was marble, adamant,
granite in immobility until Johnson
turned his back upon the senate to
take the oath, when he exchanged
glances with Nelson, who then closed
up his mouth.
When johnson bad repeated inaudi-
bly, the oath of Office, his hand upon
the book, he turned. and took the Bible
in his hand, and facing the audience
said. with loud theatrical voice and
gesture: II kiss this book in the face of
my nation OF the United States"

BRAIN WORK AND VITALITY.
Mental Exercise Is said to Be Conducive to
Longevity.

Mental Exercise Is Said TO BE Conducive to
Longevity.
As factor in longevity the London
Speaker calls attention to the fact that
those people who have been accustomed
to the continued disciplinary use OF
their brains daily and who have placed
their nerve power under highly-de-
veloped constitutional training are en-
abled by these very means to escape
the so-called early decay and to avoid
those alarming accidents to health
from which SO many apparently healthy
men succunb. People who use their
brains and observe ordinary hygienic
care of their bodies resist diseases in
the first place; and when they are
actually i'll they prolong their lives OF
recuperate sooner than do those who
have lived less intellectual lives. Thus
there is given a new force to the asser.
ton that you may. kill man with
anxiety very quickly, but it is difficult
to kill him with work.
Whether the brain can actually give
power to the muscles is not certain,
though the enormous strength some
times developed in last rally looks
very much like it. That it can material
ly affect vitality is quite certain, and
has been acknowledged by the expert
eneed in all ages

It Weighed Too Much for the Stoutesi
Russian Soldiers.


Russian Soldiers.
One of the interesting features of the
late czar's funeral was, as usual, the
two men clad in medieval srmor, one
on horseback and the other on foot.
The mounted knight had his visor
open and his armor was of FURNISHED
gold, which glittered in the sun. He
symbolized life.
The other was on foot; his armor was
coal-black steel; his visor was closed,
and in his hand he bore drawn two
handed sword, the blade of which was
shrouded in Grape. He symbolized
death.
The weight of those two suits Of
armor is SO great that, notwithstanding
the most gigantic men of the imperial
guard being selected to don them, the
one ON foot who offciated at the OBJ
sequies of Emperor Nicholas l. fell
dead from exhaustion on reaching the
church of SIS. Peter and Pail, where
the imperial mausoleum is situated;

sank unconscious to the ground and
