'A PRESIDENT’STLOVE

ANDREW JOHNSON’S COURTSHIP OF
MISS SARAH WORD
r9 _____. ,
She Rejected the Future Chief Magistrate
for a Saddler.—He was not Illiterate
when Young, but to the Contrary was

Exceptionally Intelligent.

Three- quaiters of a century ago, in
the little village of Laurens, in the
State of south Carolina, there lived
and lebored‘ut the tailor’s trade a
young man who was destined to play
an important part in the afiairs of
this Nation. Of humble origin and
having had practically no educational
advantages, he had in his character
the elements of true manhood, and by
force of brain power and ability at-
tained the highest position of honor
and trust in the Republic”

Andrew Johnson left his home in
North Carolina by reason of some
trouble with his employer, and went
to thevthen ultra-exclusive and aristo-
cratic village of Laurens. He had no
influential family connections, and was
as poor as the traditional church
mouse, his worldly' possessions con-
sisting only of the clothes he wore. To
one acquainted with the social condi-
tions of the ante-helium South, the
lidifl‘iculties incident to obtaining recog-
nition by a man handicapped as John-
son was can be readily im-a'gined.LThe
sterling worth of the young tailor,
however, made itself felt, and dc-
mand-ed the admiration and respect
soon accorded him by those who were
wont to consider one not to the man-
or borndeservin-g of but condescend-
ing notice.

Johnson’s stay at Laurens marked a
very important epoch in his life. It
was there that he met his first love,
Miss Sarah Word, a charming young
woman of education and refinement,
who saw in the modest and retiring
young journeyman tailor, a man of
character and strength and promise.
Johnson’s regard for Miss Word was
reciprocated, and the young people
entered into an engagement to marry.
They were thrown constantly in each
other’s society, and the future Presi-
dent of the United States once assist-
ed his flancee in laying, stulfing and
quilting a quilt.

The irresistible'tendency that young
men in love have to carve their sweet-
hearts’ names on everything movable
and immovable in their immediate vi-
cinity was-not wanting in Johnson.
0n the bottom of an old split—bot.-
tomed chair he engraved the inscrip-
tion “S. INK—1820.” It is needless to
say that it was the chair in which
Miss Word was accustomed to sit on
the porch of her home.

Having satisfactorily adjusted the
trouble with his former employer in
North “Carolina, Johnson decided to
return and resume his place. Before

leaving Laurens, as a token of his at:

fectionate regard, he gave to Miss
Word his dearest possession, the
goose with which he had worked at
his trade. This act shows the tender
simplicity of the young tailor. He had
no false pride about the matter. He
was leaving the woman he loved for
an indefinite time, and not ashamed of
his lowly calling, gave her something
that would be a constant reminder of
him and his work. After leaving
Laurens differences arose between
Miss Word and Johnson, and their
engagement was terminated, but the
tailor’s goose was never returned.
Miss Word rejected the tailor and
married \Villi'am Hance, a Saddler.
The tailor became President of the
United States.

Johnson’s biographers have all main-
tained that in early life he was un-
couth, illiterate and ignorant, with no
refinement nor grace of manner. It
has been stated that he could neither
read nor write, and that. his wife
taught him both after marriage. This
error has become so firmly fixed that
it is generally accepted as an historic
fact, and school children are told the
romantic story of how a man who af-
terward became President was taught
to read and write by a wife who was
ambitions for his advancement. This
story may be a beautiful object les-
son on the grand possibilities of Amer-
ican youth, but it has the fatal defect
of being untrue. When Johnson lived
in Laurens he could both read and
write, and was considered a young
man of considerable intelligence. Miss
Word, to whom he was engaged, is
authority for the statement that she
received many notes and letters from
him, and that he wrote a good busi-
ness hand. She has also frequently
said that he wasa man of more than
ordinary intelligence, of elegant ad-
dress and a brilliant conversational-
ist.——Nation1al Magazine.

:1.e. BEECHER’S GREAT LOVE

Her Affection for Her Husband that En-
dured Until Her Own Death.

In preaching Mrs. Beecher’s funeral
sermon in Plymouth Church, Brook-
lyn, Reg. Dr. Abboth‘who knew her
well, said: “Her life could be summed
in a word, ‘Faithfulness, ’ ” and that if
he were asked to put an appropriate

3 text upon her tombstone it would be:
“Love is Stronger than Death.”

Very few women have exemplified
the rare fidelity of which she gave
proof and the steadfast love which
she bore.
were not lightly given; but, once won,
they were true and enduring—always
to be relied upon without diminution.

From when, as a young girl at the
home of her parents, she first met
Henry “’1 'd Beecher in her 18th year
to her marriage with him seven years
later, during which period she resist-
ed opposition to her wedding a penni-
less student, to her following him to
their first home in Lawrenceburg,
where they arrived with less than $1
in their possession, she showed the
same unswerving devotion, and dur-
ing the ten years of their western life,
which were filled with many hard-
ships, she was the faithful wife, won-
derfully ingenious in covering up the
bare spots and making $1 do duty for
$5. This was an enormous advantage
to the brilliant young preacher, whose
impediments bv her loving care were
smoothed from his pathway, leavinga
clearer field for his progress. After
ten years of hardship in the West, she
reached Brooklyn with her husband,
who had been newly called to Ply-
mouth Church as its pastor. Here, for
the first time since her marriage, the
full sunshine of comfort and prosper-
ity shone'upon Mrs. Beecher. Honor,
wealth, the power to gratify desires,
were hers, and above all her loved
husband, who, from the first, was to
her a great genius among men, was
now so acknowledged and-recognized
by all who knew him.

Mrs. Beecher entertained many dis.
tinguished guests at her home. She
assisted her husband wisely and efii-
ciently in his undertakings. In the
hour of the nation’s need—the civil
war—while his burning words were in-
ducing the enlistment of regiments to
assist the government in its peril. she
was diligently employed in the effort
to equip and subsist them until they
were mustered into ser.vice While he
pleaded for the freedom of the slaves
she w a? assisting to the best of her
abilitv. When the day of Mr. Beech-
er’s supreme trial came, the scandal
that cost him so dear, his wife proved
that calumny could not shake her.
opinion of his goodness. Mrs.
Beecher looked into the subject, be-
lieved in her husband and loyally
took her stand by his side, assisting

 

steadfast nature. During the period
of that long trial in the Brooklyn city
court (occupying about 150 days), she
sat by her husband, her faith in him
unshaken to the last. Well might Dr.
Abbott say, as he did while conduct-
ing the services over her remains. “If
I were asked to put an appropriate
text upon her tombstone it would be:
‘Love is Stronger than Death.’ ”
changed and unchangeable, her cre-
dence survived shocks that must have
wrecked that of one less faithful, and
her love, which knew no waning, was
stronger than death.

Everything in her little house was .‘1
memento of her ”husband. His pic-
tures were on every hand, with othei
relics of their happy married life. In
her eighty-fourth year it was he:
craving desire to visit and spend her
coming birthday with her son Herbert
and his family at Port Townsend,
Washington, but how to accomplish
this object was the perplexing ques.
tion. A way was found, however.
through the kindness of great-hearted
men in Chicago, who, admiring Mrs.
Beecher’s many excellencies of char-
acter displayed in her long life, ar-
ranged the trips and return from
ocean to ocean, that she might, as she
pathetically said, “once more see 1191
‘gray- haired baby boy,’ ” of whom she
was passionately fond.

er for a last sight—last words with her

THE EVENING"GAZET TE

A QUEER SHAH.

He Threw His Crown on the Floor and
Declined to Behead Some Robbers. ‘

The new Shah Of Persia has some
qualities which make him a very pric-
tnrcsque character, and perhaps he
may prove a modern Haroun-al-Ras-
chid.

J. For ter Fraser, an Englishman who
has spent some time with His M'aj-
csty, says that the coronation cere-
mony took place On a very hot day,
and as soon as His Majesty could es-
cape he hastened off to his private
rooms. Some one found him ten min-
utes afterward, sitting in a draught,
and in his shirt sleeves, on some steps
in the corridor, the crown still on his
head, though pushed somewhat aery.
“Your Majesty will be ill if you sit
, there,” was said. “Oh, I am so warm,
and this thing,” he answered, taking
off the crown and pitching it on one
side, “is so heavy; I hope I shall never
have to put it on again.”

The Shah’s predecessor, so it used to
be said, had a summary way of get-
ting rid of disgraced Ministers, but the

ily, is antagonistic to the present
Shah’s desires. Indeed, Mr. Fraser
thinks he might almost go so far as to
say he is something of a Socialist.
Some time ago a gang of hill robbers
was captured and taken before him to
receive sentence that their heads be
'chopped off. He inquired into their
case, and found they had been leading
a hard and perilous life. “Poor men,”
he observed, “I suppose they robbed
because they wanted something to
eat,” and then he ordered their re-
lease—New York Journal. '

CU.RRENT WIT AND HUMOR.

“Isn’t it awfully annoying to be near
sighted?” asked the man who delights
in personal questions.

“If you had waited as I have, an-
swered the afflicted one, “nearly ten

that it was a bicycle beginner coming

BAGPIPES FOR THE' SULTAN.

He Has Engaged a Scotchman to Perform
on the Instrument.

His Majesty the Sultan of Morocco
is passionately devoted to the music
of the bagpipes, and he has engaged a
renowned master of that instrument to
play for him.

’0be1't\Iortrimer. of Aberdeen, for
merly. .1 piper in a. Highland regiment,
is the man who has been honored by
the Sultan. He is to receive a salary
of $1,000 a year, a very large one for
Morocco, and a liberal allowance of
expenses, enabling him to buy all the
bagpipes and all the costumes be de-
sir.es He is supported in good style
by the Sultan, and is no doubt able to
enjoy most of the luxuries of a Mo-
hammedan court absolutely untainted
by European civilization.

His Majesty, who is watched with
keen interest by many representatives
of foreign powers, is reported to be de-
lighted by his new Court Musician.
He lounges on his divan, smoking his
hookah, and drinks in the wild Cale~
donian melody. He would rather lis.
ten to it than watch his coochee-
coochee dancers. He has the piper
play at reviews of the army to instil
courage into them and cultivate their
musical taste—New York Journal.

 

Successful Failures.

Columbus discovered America
through his failure to reach India, as
he hoped to do by sailing westwmd.

David Livingstone studied for three
years with the sole aim of being a mis-
sionary to China. It was only be-
cause his hopes were crushed by the
“opium war,” which made it impossi
ble to enter China, that he thought of
going to Africa, and was the means of
opening up a whole continent to Chiis-
tianity. and civilization.

Some years ago an ingenious 1171.111
was proposed by a man named Joggins
for sending logs from Canada to New
York by towing them, bound together
by cables and iron girders, as rafts.
The plan failed, as the first iaft sent
out met with a storm near the end of
its voyage, the iron girders snapped.
and the logs were scattered f? 1' and
wide. Hundreds of captains in the
Atlantic, the Mediterranean and the
South seas noticed these logs and re-
p01 ted on them. The reports were col-
lected and systemlatized, and deduc-
tions made from them as to the course
of ocean currents. So the failure of

QUEER RAILWAY Ecol—slowes.

Even Make Artificial Limbs for Those 1
Who are Injured.

Railway economy has taken some-
curious forms. “Every line its own
manufacturer,” says the London and
Northwestern Railway, and hardlya
thing that it needs, whether a locomo-
tive or a printed label, is made for it
by people not belonging to the com-
pany.

It is its own artificial-leg maker.
When an employe has the misfortune
to lose a limb on the line, a wooden
arm or leg, as the case may be, is sent
to him from the carpenter’s shop at
Crewe. The leg-making department
of the Northwestern employs a couple
of expert instrument- makers working
continually to supply the demand.

At "Wolverton, on the same system,
you will see in the carriage works a
man engaged in etching fancy designs
upon the plates of the ground glass
used in first-class compartments and
saloons.

'The Midland company has found it
advantageous to have a. “photographer-
in-ordinary.” If a bridge shows signs
of decay or. an embankment is likely
to slip, the engineer-in—chief, on report,
sends him to photograph the “acci-
dent” (they call everything an acci-
dent on the railway) thus saving a.
personal visit.

In the case of a “Smashup,” the pho—
tographer immediately takes several
photos of the train or trains from dif-
ferent points of view, so that, when
the Board of Trade inquiry comes on,
there can be no dispute as to how the-L
engines and carriages were lying. —Au-LL

the status there. It is employing more
men and has a bigger payroll than
ever before, and its employes get the
highest rate of wages paid anywhere.
No wonder that Butte is prosperous,
for where several thousand men get

nant in the big copper camp. The
