JDANSON'S QUICK WIT.

How the Ex-President Displayed 1t on tho
Stump In Tennessee.
There Is in the city Of Memphis
precinct known as Pinch, in which
majority Of the voters We're Irish. It so
happened that Andrew johnson and his
opponent for the United States senate,
Gus Henry, were to meet IN joint de-
bate in this precinct. The evening came,
and hundreds of blue Irish eyes were on
the two speakers as they assembled the
rostrum. Henry opened, and as a lid
for the Irish vote he told in whitening
terms how johnson, when in congress
before, had voted against bill for an
appropriation to assist Ireland during a
time of famine. He himself had done
yeoman work for the passage of the bill,
while this other man, who was now
asking their support, had done every
thing possible to 47feat it. 1t was fine
point, and the speaker made the most
of it, burning before it the lamp of his
eloquence until the crowd We're wild
with excitement. Then Henry sat down,
and Johnson got up amid catcalls and
SCOTS to answer him.
"What my opponent has told you is
true, ," he said Ireland was suffering,
her relief, for the money which it was
thus proposed to give away was not
mine, but yours; yours because it was
in the public Golfers. l refused to give
away money which did not belong to
me, but went down into my own peck
ct and out of my own private funds
which had a right to bestow-I sub
scribed $500 to the relief fund which was
being quietly raised. How much of his
own money did Mr.. Henry give? Not a
cent He was too busy trying to give
away yours. Now, gentlemen, which Of
us two did the better part by suffering
Ireland:'' The effect of this was magical.
The catcalls were now for Henry and
the cheers for johnson.
Thus the campaign went on, ending
in victory for the ex-tailor, who once
more took his place among the statesmen
Of the land. But his term was short
one. for death soon claimed him. But
he left behind him a reputation as q
stump speaker which abides still
upon the hastings down in Tennessee.

expedite the movement of the mail in cities.
Slowly but surely. the six-inch metallic tube

period of seven years the possibility or It's

Having shown, to the pleasure and COM

at Washington the utility of the pneumatic
dispatch tube, Mr.. Kelly is now preparing
to leave the narrow field OF early expert
ment and move upon the broader plane OF
commercial enterprise. The mail tube So
called, is to be introduced in so short a
space as practicable in this city, for the
general and multiplied conyenienceS OF the
public, including, among other applications,
TO great variety of purposes, the lightning
transmission of the MONDAY lunch.
