where every man is a sovereign, where

drew Johnson's career from the tailor's
bench to the Presidential chair is a
notable case in point. . His' history af
fords an interesting study to those
who would imitate him in his assidu

bler sphere of life, and In the sublime
struggle in which he surmounted the
obstacles that poverty had placed in
his path, and reached at last a position
which we all regard as the zenith of
human greatness the office of Presi
dent of the United States. Andrew
Johnson was born in Raleigh, N. O.,
Dec. 29, 1S08. His parents were very
poor, and when he was but four years
of age his father died of Injuries re

apprenticed to a tailor. A natural
craving to learn was fostered by hear
ing a gentleman read from the "Amer
ican Speaker." The boy was taught
the alphabet by fellow workmen, bor
rowed a book and learned to read. At
XJreenville, Tenn., while working as a
Journeyman he married Eliza McCar
dle, a woman of refinement, who taught
him to write, and read to him while he
was at work during the day. It was
not until he had been in Congress that
he could write with ease.
The writer has often seen "The Great
Commoner," and heard him from the
rostrum In joint debate with distin
guished Whig orators before the war.
In 1861, soon after his great speech
was made In the United States Senate,
I heard him arraign the leaders of the
rebellion before an audience of several
thousand East Tennesseans. While not
a polished orator, he was logical and
earnest, and impressed me as a man of
great Intellectual strength and person
al courage. He was a man of fine, phy
sical proportions, and always appeared
grave and dignified. He did not affect
the suavity of manner, or attempt the
role of "hail fellow, well met" so com-
mon anion? iotular politicians. His
method of reaching the popular mind
waa dwner than tfhla. In seeking a
solution of the question of his marvel
ous popularity and success, one cannot
attribute it to that mysterious personal
magnetism which characterized many
public men, notably Clay and Blaine.
Johnson was not personally popular.
He did not possess the faculty of arous
ing great enthusiasm In his followers.
He was a student of human nature as
well as of the current political history
of his country, and sought to put him
self before the people as the representa
tive of popular principles rather than
as a personally popular leader. His In
tuition pointed out the former as the
most enduring kind of popularity. He
saw in the homestead law that waa
being agitated a hobby that would car
ry him into public favor, and he made
the most of it It was a most fascinat
ing word-picture that he drew belore
his assembled countrymen when he
told them he was in favor of the dis
tribution of the public domain into
homes that should be free to every
American citizen. Then he told them
of a time when the humblest and poor
est would have a home in the rich and
fertile prairies of the West, where he
could live surrounded by every comfort
and convenience of his life, his pockets
filled with glittering gold shining
through the silken meshes of his well-
filled purse. Thus the name of Andrew
Johnson became associated with the
brightest dreams of the humble poor.
When the wave of public opinion had
placed him in the Senate of the United
States, and when his Southern col
leagues were breathing defiance to the
Government in its capital, he stood firm
and loyal, and this gave him the nom
ination for Vice President on the ticket
with Mr. Lincoln. It will be remember
ed that extracts from his speeches fur
nished a large part of the political lit
erature of the campaign of 1864. But
history will carefully preserve the story
of his struggle with poverty; how his
wife taught him the rudiments of edu
cation after his marriage; how he lived
in an humble way, earning his daily
bread by working at the tailor's bench;
how he became alderman of his adopt
ed village, Greenville, Tenn.; and later
on was elected State Senator, Governor
and United States Senator; then ap
pointed military governor of Tennessee
by President Lincoln; and afterward
elected Vice President, succeeding to
the Presidency on the death of Lincoln,
April 15, 18(54. After his term of office
had expired as President Mr. Johnson
again entered the political field, and
was defeated for Congressman -at-larga
by Horace Maynard In 1872. In 1875 he
was elected United States Senator, and
died suddenly while on a visit to his
daughter, Mrs. Stover, in Custer Coun
ty, Tennessee, July 31, 1875.
Mr. Johnson's family consisted of
three sons and two daughters, all of
whom are now dead except Mrs. Judge
Patterson, who now owns and ocuples

IMPERIAL MILLIONS
By JULIAS HAWTHOEUEi
Copyright, 1891, by American Press Associa

Within ten minutes of the appointed
hour every guest invited was either in
the house or awaiting their turn to en
ter. The door by which they came in
was in close proximity to the dressing
rooms, where the most skillf ul of lady's
maids and valets left the guests nothing
to do but to stand still and be put in
order. A broad hall led through a pair
of semi-transparent curtains to the re
ception rooms. When all were assem
bled, twenty-five beautiful boys about
twelve years old and as many girls
dressed in eastern fashion appeared and
passed among the company, carrying
trays on which were little cups of pure
crystal, containing an aromatic bever
age. It was too exquisite and ethereal
to be a cocktail, and besides the ladies
drank it, but its effect was. marvel-
bus. It worked a change of heart in
every one, and a change for the better.
Following up this success the boys pre
sented bouquets to each of the ladies in
a holder of wrought gold filigree, with
her initials worked in it, while the young
girls gave a "buttonhole" of similar
design in miniature to the gentlemen.
Hereupon a sound like a peal of silver
bells rang softly close at hand, and on
all sides, yet invisible, was heard; the
great doors leading to the dining hall
were withdrawn, and the fragrant splen
dor of that freshly created apartment
dawned upon the company. As they
passed the threshold music was heard,
delicate and remote, as if the flowers
were singing together. Such a feast
should begin with nothing less delicate
than nightingales' tongues, and wind up
with apples of the HesDerides. '
When the cloth had been withdrawn
after the last course it was revealed that
the great table was composed of upward
of sixty small square tables, like the
joints of a serpent each accommodat
ing four persons. Now the fifty Nubians,
who, in the costume of their country (at
least as designed by color loving artists),
had been attending during the dinner,
wheeled these tables into a great semi
circle at the lower half of the hall, and
then the guests, reseating themselves,
were served with coffee. Few of them
noticed the entrance of a small man,
with a dark Indian complexion and curly
black beard, who took up a position in
the center of the open space in the upper
end of the room. He wore a white tur
ban, a close fitting jacket, with sleeves
to the elbows, showing a lean, brown
forearm, loose white zouave trousers,
gathered at the knees, and. a pair of
Turkish slippers, turned up at the toes.
A sash of fine silk of a peculiar red
color and many feet in lengtn was
bound round his waist A gold bracelet
in the shape of a serpent was worn on
his left wrist. He looked like a Hindoo,
and it soon became evident that the
count's friends were to be treated to an
exhibition of oriental iuarslerv.
After making a low salaam to the
company, the man, holding his bare arms
extended before him, began to rub the
palms of his hands slowly together, and
in a few moments a fine gold cord ap
peared dangling between them, and
gradually lengthening till it reached the
floor. It increased rapidly, coiling itself
as it did so, until as much of it as could
be contained in a hat lay at the man's
feet. He now grasped the end of it in
his right hand and shook it out in the
air, until the whole length of the cord
was undulating before him in a thou
sand flying curves. Suddenly the move
ment changed from vertical to horizon
tal, until it seemed as if the cord weie
weaving itself into a fabric -before their
eyes; and, in fact, in a wonderfully brief
time a mat a yard in diameter had been
thus manufactured, which the man spread
out on the floor and seated himself upon.
He lifted his eyes and gazed upward,
and the audience, following his gaze,
perceived a scrap of white tissue paper
floating downward toward him. He
held out his finger and the paper rested
upon it; it fluttered there for a moment;
he breathed upon it and it grew rapidly
larger; it was now a white hen, which
flapped its wings and clucked. The man
placed it on the floorpit ran about, but
finally settled down and immediately
laid an egg. No sooner had it done this
than the man seized it by the neck,
whirled it around and it was once more
a scrap of white tissue paper, whicn
floated up and disappeared in the vault
ed ceiling.
The man took the egg between his
forefinger and thumb, looked attentively
at it and put it on the floor again, bal
ancing it on its end. Then, lifting his
hand a little, he pointed downward at
the apex of the egg. Presently a steam
or smoke began to issue from the apex,
arising like a vaporous pillar and aug
menting in volume until it was several
feet in height and girth. It now took
on a revolving motion, wnicu Decame
exceedingly rapid, and it was seen that
it was assuming shape and solidity; and
amid a general murmur of amazement
from the audience it stood before them
as a human figure a beautiful girl, en
veloped in a white robe as soft as mist
She remained erect and apparently un
conscious of her environment, her dark
eyes were fixed in a gaze of profound ab
straction, as if, just created, she were
marveling at the mystery of being. '
"Am I awake? exclaimed Mrs. Van-
derdonde j& a cracked voice; "because,
if I am, I want to get away. This is
wicked!" ' -
"You have hit upon the true explana
tion, as I understand it, madam," said
the count, who sat beside her, smiling.
This is all illusion. It doesn't really
take place. These jugglers have the
faculty of hypnotizing their audiences
just to the right point, so that one im
agines one sees all that the juggler wants
him to see,- and yet remains, in the
ordinary sense, awake. But you are not
awake; you have been dreaming, and
so have we all. Let us see what the next
variation will be!"
At the same table, on the other side,
Bailie was seated. , "Do you mean to
tell me that ' woiaan is a dream?" she
asked in a low voice. - "I know her."
"Probably each person present sees
her with a different face, according to
their own nature or mental state," the
count returned. "But she is nothing
but air, and will vanish again in a mo
ment." 'She may vanish, but she is flesh and
blood," said Sallie, in the same under
tone. "She is Olympia Raven. How
same she here? She was not among the
guests. Perhaps by way of the magic
vaxToxV ....
The count smiled. "You must ask
her yourself," said he.
"Do you give me leave?" " :
"Undoubtedly!" rr -
Sallie rose at once. The count also
rose and said: "My friends, Mrs. Harry
Trent, whom you all know, declines to
believe that the apparition which our
juggler has produced yonder, is not real
flesh and blood. She has kindly con
sented to make trial of it I maintain
that it is an illusion only."
"Don't go near it, my dear," said Mrs.
Vanderdonde. "You'll be turning into
an apparition yourself if you're not
careful!" -
There was a rustle and murmur of ex
cited expectancy throughout the room.
Jugglery to match this exhibition.
though not unknown in India, had nevei
before been beheld by any of the count i
guests. Meanwhile the apparition stood.
i. t a
with unwinking eyes fixed op vacancy,
Sallie stenned forward. She held hex
closed fan in her right hand. A dis
tance of three or four yards separated
her from the figure. The juggler still
squatted on his mat As Sallie ap
proached he bent forward and drew
some character h the floor with his
finger.
Within a pace of the apparition Sallie
paused and looked earnestly at it. A
hush fell upon -the assembly. JNo one
knew what to think or what was to hap
pen. Sallie stretched forth her arm, and
with the tip of her fan touched the figure
on the shoulder.
Immediately a thick mist or steam
arose, enveloping and hiding from view
not only the figure but the juggler and
Sallie as well. A loud voice, proceeding
none Knew whence, pronounced some
words in an unknown tongue. Follow
ing this a piercing shriek was heard,
echoed by many women present. Every
one started; many sprang to their feet.
The mist cleared away. Sallie was stand
ing there alone. Both the juggler and
the apparition had vanished, leaving nc
trace behind. But Sallie grasped in hei
hand no longer her fan, but a long
Japanese dagger with a carved hilt,
The point of the dagger seemed to be
.dripping with blood.
She staggered, turned partly round
and would have fallen, but the count
was near her and caught her in his arms,
The company was all in confusion. A
sofa was brought, and Sallie was laid
upon ft. She had fainted.
"Carry her into the east room,", said
the count to two of the Nubian servants.
"Doctor Venables," he added, turning to
the eminent woman's physician, whe
was one of the guests, "may I request
you to take charge of Mrs. Trent? One
of the maids shall attend, and anything
you need will be at your disposal,
am indeed sorry," he went on, turning
to the others, "that this should have
happened. Had it been possible to fore
see it but we understand so little of the
ways of these oriental wizards that we
must be cautious how we meddle with
them. . I presume he is as badly fright
ened as any one. I need not tell you
that he will be held strictly accountable
if anything serious comes of this; but
trust there will be nothing. Mrs. Trent
has great courage." "
uare say sifts will be better airectly,
observed Miss Fitz-Murray. Indeed, now
that they had recovered from their first
scare, the company were inclined to rally
themselves and one another on the even
tag's sensatiqn.j.nd there was perhaps a
tendency to male Sallie the scapegoat of
the affair. If she had not interfered all
would have gone well. Some of the
ladies, who had been not far from faint
ing themselves, whispered to one an
other that nothing else was to be expect
ed of a woman like that; she had taken
advantage of having formerly been the
owner of the bouse to force herself upon
the count (who was too polite to deny
anybody anything), and of course she
had made an exhibition of herself.
Meanwhile, General Bristowe, Mr. Roy-
lance, Mr. Montague Gossett and other
gentlemen were discussing the jugglery
performance, and had formulated at
least two theories to explain the whole
mystery. But all agreed that it was the
most astonishing thing ever witnessed
in New York, and when Dr. Venables
appeared with Sallie on his arm, looking
pale, but smiling and entreating the
general pardon for having so misbe
haved, the complexion of affairs re
sumed its former geniality. " The tables
had been removed, the music stormed
and palpitated, and the people who
danced began toj look at one another and
beat time wicn jtneir teet, as u appari
tions, wizards and bloody daggers were
but a diverting preliminary to real en
joyment Society uniformly deprecates
serious views, and, if its spirits have
been dashed for a moment, laughs so
much the more lightly the moment
after.
But while the ball was at its height
Sallie took an opportunity to withdraw
unobserved, making a private signal to
the count as she did so. He followed
her to the east room, where for a mo
ment they were alone.
"I have to thank you for a delightful
evening, she said. "I can never forget
It."
"The pleasure' has been mutual," re
turned the count, bowing.
I feel that I know you so much bet
ter than I did before I came here." Sallie
continued. "Before you had seemed
mysterious and enigmatical; you were
something like a prince in a fairy tale;
you might undergo transformation at any
moment into a hobgoblin, or a wisp of
straw! But nw well now 1 think
there can never again be any doubt be
tween us as to our true relations to each
other."
I .am glad to hear you say so," re
sponded the count courteously. .
Sallie eyed him for a moment, and
then stepped close in front of him,
changing her tone of polished sarcasm
to one of intense earnestness. "I can be
a good friend and a good enemy," she
said. "You have nearly everything that
a man can wish for, Count de Lisle, but
if you had twice as much it would still
be worth your while to make a woman
like me your friend. And I am ready to
join hands with you on any terms you
propose. What motive can you possibly
have to antagonize me? I have, done you
no harm. If I have harmed any friend
of yours it was unknowingly, and I am
willing to make reparation. Come!

V
From the Ashtabula, Ohio, Beacon.
Mr. Fred Taylor was born and
brought up near Elmira, N. Y.. and
from tnere enlisted in the 189th regi
ment, N. Y. V. L, with which he went
through the war, and saw muoh hard
service. Owing to exposure and hard
ships during the service, Mr. Taylor
contracted chronio diarrhoea from
which he has suffered now over thirty
years, with absolutely no help from
physicians. By nature he was a won
derfully vigorous man. Had he not
been, his disease and the experiments
of the dcotors had killed him long
ago. Laudanum was the only thing
which afforded him relief. He had ter
rible headaches, his nerves were shat
tered, he could not sleep an hour a day
ea an average, and he was reduced to a
skeleton. A year ago he and his wife
sought relief in a change of climate
and removed to Geneva, O., but the
change in health came not Finally
on the recommendation of F. J,
Hoffner, the leading druggist of Gen
eva, who was cognizant of similar
cases which Fink Pills had cured, Mr.
Taylor was persuaded to try a box.
"As a drowning man grasps a straw bo
I took the pills," says Mr. Taylor, ' but
with no more hope of rescue. But
after thirty years of suffering and
fruitless search for relief I at last
found it in Dr. Williams' . Pink Pills.
The day after I took the first pills
commenced to feel better and when
had taken the first box I was in fact a
new man." That was two months
ago. Mr. Taylor has since taken more
of the pills and his progress is steady
and he has the utmost confidence in
them. .. He has regained full control of
his nerves and sleeps as well as in his
youth. Color is coming back to bis
parched veins and he is gaining flesh
and strength rapidly. He is now able
to do considerable outdoor work.
As he concluded narrating his suffer
ings, experience and cure to a Beacon
reporter, Mrs. Taylor, who has been
his faithful helpmeet these many
years, said she wished to add her testi
mony in favor of Pink Pills. "To the
pills alone is due the credit of raising
Mr. Taylor from a helpless invalid to
the man he is today," said Mrs. Tay
lor. Both Mr. and Mrs. Taylor cannot
gnd words to express the gratitude they
feel or recommend too highly Pink
Pills to suffering humanity. Any in
quiries addressed to them at Geneva
O., regarding Mr. Taylor's case they
will cheerfully answer as they are
anxious that the whole world shall
know what Pink Pills have done for
them and that suffering humanity may
be benefited thereby.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain all
the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves. They are for sale by
all druggists, or may be had by mail
from Dr. Williams' Medicine Com
pany, Schnectady, N. Y., for 50 cents
per box, or six boxes for $2.50.
