"I WISH YOlJ WOUID KEEP MY SIZE.' That request could be very easily er's name was stamped upon the but bv the customer herself. Every FIRST CLASS GOOI>S tomers know how they may be the same size tliat fits the foot at complied with if the nianufactur- goods. not only by the salesman dealer in Boots and Shoes of the should be willing t ) let his ens- fitted the next time with exactly first. NO TWO MANUFACTURER'S BOOTS OR SHOES ARE AEIKE, if the marks for the size be the same ; every manufacturer has his own whims abou* his lasts. It has been the intention of the subscriber to conform to the FRENCH STYEE of Boots and Shoes, from his first start in business, and the goods have always com- manded a higher price than any other Boots or Shoes in the market. The great thing about a Boot or Shoe is to have it fie well and feel like an old Boot or Shoe. Goods of this kind will not stretch out of shape ; the ditt'erenee in the price is not to be thought of when the comfort and durabilitv are taken into account. A GREAT IMPROVEMENT has been made in the goods the last six months. There are many retail dealers who, in consequence of the representations of certain manufacturers, tell their customers, "WE DO NOT KEEP THE KIMBAEE BOOT, BUT WE HAVE SOME THAT ARE MADE ON THE KIMBAEE EAST." In answer to this, I hereby inform the eo7)suiners, as well as the dealer, that the "KIMBAEE EAST," ivith its various improvements, is used in niy factory ONEY, and not elsewhere in the United Slates.

March 8.— Stampact passed, which de- clared that no legal instrument of writing should be valid unless it bore a Britisli stamp. The feelings of the people were so intense against this act, that in [several cities mobs and violence ensued. The stamps were seized and burned, and the distributors, who were appointed by the Crown to sell them, were insulted and de- spised on the street, and, when the law was to take etlect, there were no otticials with courage enough to enforce it. 1766. March 18.— Stamp act repealed. In London this was an occasion of great re- joicing ; and in America bontires and il- luminations attested the feelings of the masses of the people. Jfuiie. — Miuiny act. British troops sent to America, and an act passed by ir'ariia- ment providing lor their partial subsist- ence on the colonies. The appearance of these troops in jNew York, and the order to feed and shelter them, occasioned vio- lent outbreaks of the people in that city, and burning indignationail over the laud. 1767. June 29. — A tax imposed upon tea, glass, paper, painters' colors, etc., and a, bill passed forbidding the New York As- sembly to legislate until it shoulu comply witli the mutiny act of 176(3. The people boldly resisted these acts of oppression. Circulars were issued to the Assemblies from Massachusetts asking their co-opera- tion in obtaining a redress of grievances. The (Governor of Massachusetts, in the king's name, was instructed to command tUe Assembly to rescind its actions, but in June, IJbS, it unanimously voted nut tu rescind. 1768. Jan. 30, — Petition of the Massachu- setts Assemljly to the King ot Engiaiul, against the late tax on trade in the ^A.incn- caii colonies. First Methodist church in America biult in New York. May. — Commissioners of Customs, to collect duties, arrive in Boston. Tiieyare regarded with much contempt, and it was diuicult to restrain the excitable portion of the population from committing per- sonal violence. June. — Arrival of sloop Libert3', at Boston, belonging to John Hancock (one of the signers of the Declaration of Inde- peiulence), witli a cargo of Madeira wine. B 15 16 IMPORTANT EVENTS OF THE CENTURY. The Commissioners demanded duties. It was refused, and they seized the vessel. The news spread over Boston, and the people resolved on resistance. The Com- missioners were assailed by a mob, their houses damaged ; and they were obliged to seek safety in Castle William, a small foi^ress about 3 miles S. E. from Boston. Sept. 27.— British troops land in Bos- ton, 700 strong, and with drums beating and colors flying, they marched to the Common. 1769. Jan. 26.— British Parliament passes a bill requiring the arrest of offenders against the government to be sent to Eng- land for trial. Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, received its charter. It was named from the Earl of Dartmouth, its benefactor. American Philosophical Society, at Philadelphia, founded. 1770. March 5. — Boston Massacre. A rope- maker quarreled with a soldier (March 2), and struck him. From this a tight ensued between several soldiers and rope- makers, in which the latter were beaten. A few evenings afterward (Marcii 5), about 700 excited inhabitants assembled in the streets for the purpose of attacking the soldiers. A sentinel was attacked near the Custom House, when Captain Preston, commander of tlie guard, went to his rescue, with eight armed men, irri- tated and assailed by the mob, the sol- diers fired upon the citizens, killed three and dangerously wounded five. The mob instantly retreated, when all the bells of the city rang an alarm, and in less than an hour several thousand exas- perated citizens were on the streets. Gov. Hutchinson assured the people that jus- tice would be done in the morning, and thus prevented further bloodshed. Capt. Preston and six of his men were tried and acquitted by a Boston jury.

Howe marched out to attack Washington, expecting to take him by surprise, but a Quaker lady of Philadelphia, who liad overheard Bri- tish officers talking about tliis enterprise at her house, gave Washington timely in- formation, and ho was too well prepared for Howe to fear his menaces. After some skirmishes, in which several Ame- ricans were lost, Howe returned to Phila- delphia. Dec. 11. — Washington goes into winter quarters at Valley iForge. This was a gloomy winter to the Patriot army. Con- tinental money was so depreciated in value, that an officer's pay would not keep him in clothes. The men were camped in cold, comfortless huts, with little food or clothing. Barefooted, they left on the frozen ground their tracks in blood. Few had l)lankets, .'ind straw could not be obtained. Soldiers, weak from liunger and l)enumbed by cold, slept on the bare earth, with no change of clothing and no suitable food ; sickness soon followed, and with no medicine to administer to their complaints, many found relief from their sufferings in death.

Dec. 18.— Constitution of North Caro- lina adopted. During this year Vermont was claimed by both New York and New Hampshire, as a part of their territory, but the people met in convention and pro(^laimed them- selves free, independent, and separate States.

Many soldiers on both sides fell from the excessive heat of the da3', and when night came they were glad to rest. The British were com- manded by Gen. Clinton, and the Ameri- cans by vVashington. The Americans intended to renew the fight on the morn- ing of the ;i9th, but found the enemy's camp deserted. The British left about 300 killed on the field of battle, and a large number of sick and wounded. Auierican loss in killed, wounded, and missing, 228. Many of the missing re- turned to I he army, and the killed was less than 70. J Illy 5.— Massacreof Wyoming. About l,(iOO Indians and Tories, under command of Butler and Brant, appeared on the banks of the Susquehanna, and com- pelled two of the forts nearest to the frontier to surrender to them. The sav- ages spared the women and children, but butchered the rest of their prisoners with- out exception. They then surrounded Fort Kingston, and to dismay the garri- son, hurled into the place 200 scalps still reeking with blood. The garrison was overpowered by the savages, and com- pelled to surrender. The prisoners, com- posed of men, women, and children, were then enclosed in houses and barracks, wliich were set on fire, and the miserable wretches were %bon consumed by the flames. The whole Wyoming valley, consisting of eiglit towns on the Susque- hanna, suffered the same destruction of life and property, and none escaped but a few women and children, and tiiese dis- !N"ew York — Continued .

July 8. — Count D'Estaing, of the French navy, arrives in the Delaware with a large fleet, causing Howe to re- treat with his vessels to the waters of Amboy or Karitan bay. Aug. 12. — Count D'Estaing sailetl out of Newport harbor, Rhode Island, to en- gage the British fleet in command of Howe, but a terrible storm arose and dis- abled botli fleets, and the French squadron returned to Newport and sailed to Boston for repairs. [Very old people of Rhode Island used to speak of this gale as the great storm. So violent was the wind that it brought spray from the ocean a mile distant, and incrusted the windows of the town with salt. j Aug. 29.— Battle of Quaker Hill, Rhode Island, in which the Americans lost 30 killed and 172 wounded and miss- ing. Britisli loss about 22u. Sept. 22.— Paul Jones' naval battle. The engagement lasted from seven in the morning until ten at night. The contest was flerce and desperate. Paul .Jones, in commandof the American flotilla, flndmg the enemy's guns longer than his, brought his ships so close, until the muzzles of his guns came in contact with those of his enemy. The magazine of the British ship Serapis blew up, set fire to the vessel and communicated the flames to Jones' vessel. In the midst of this the American frigate Alliance came up, and mistaking her partner, fired a broadside into the vessel of Jones; but soon discovered her mistake and turned her guns upon the enemy. The British crew were killed or wounded, the Serapis on fire (but the flames were afterward subdued) and the frigate Countess of Scarborough captured by the Americans. Paul Jones came oft' victorious. His vessel (the Goodman Richard) was so badly crippled that it soon sunk; and of the crew of 365, only 68 were left alive. Jones, after this vic- tory, wandered with his unmanageable vessel for some time, and at length, on the 6th of October found his way into the waters of the Texel. Nov. 11. — Cherry Valley, New York, attacked by Indians and Tories. Many of the people were killed and carried into captivity, and for an area of a hundred miles around the village, desolation, ruin, and destruction prevailed for months. Dec. 29. — Savannah captured. Gen. Howe, the American officer, defended the city with about 1,000 men, while he was attacked by Col. Campbell of the British forces with 2,000 veterans. Through the treachery of a negro, Campbell was in- formed of a private path to the right of the Americans, through which his troops marched and gained the rear of Howe's army. Howe finding himself attacked in front and rear ordered a retreat, pur- sued by the enemy. The Americans lost IttO killed, 38 otticers and 415 privates made prisoners. The whole loss of the British was 7 killed and 19 wounded. 30 IMPORTANT EVENTS OF THE CENTURY, 1779. Jan. 9.— Fort Sunbury, about 28 miles soutliwiird from .Savannah, captured by the British.

JVIarck 11.— General Prevost, com- manding the British forces, demands the surrender of Charleston, but, receiving a prompt refusal, he spent the remainder of the day in preparing for an assault. That night was a fearful one for the citi- zens, for they expected to be greeted at dawn with bursting bomb-shells and red- hot cannon balls. But Prevost had been Informed of the approach of Lincoln, and at midnight retreated to Savannah. jflareh 3«.— Governor Tryon went with 1,500 British regulars and Hessians to destroy some salt works at Horseneck, N. Y., and attack an American detach- ment under General Putnam at Green- wich. The Americans were dispersed, but Putnam rallied his troops at Stamford, pursued the British on their return to New York the same evening, capturing a lot of plunder and 38 prisoners.

Mathews with land troops, and from tiieiice they carried destruc- tion and desolation on both sides of Eliza- beth river, from the Roads to Norfolk and Portsmouth. June 20.— The British were attacked at Stone Ferry, 10 miles southwest from Charleston, by a part of Lincoln's army, but after a severe engagement, and the loss of almost 300 men in killed and wounded, they repulsed the Amei-icans, whose loss was greater. July 4. — Collier's vessels conveyed Gov. Tiyon and 2,500 troops to the shores of Connecticut, where they plundered New Haven and laid East Haven, Fair- field, and Norwalk in asiies, and crilelly burned the defenceless inhabitants.

Mrs. Caldwell was sitting on the bed with her little child by the hand, and her nurse, with her infaiit babe by her side, when she was instantly shot dead by an unfeeling British soldier, who had come around to an unguarded part of the house, with an evident design to perpetrate the deed.

Clinton. Gen. Lincoln and his troops, with a large num- ber of citizens, were made prisoners of war. Altogether the captives amounted to between 5,000 and 6,000, and four hun- dred pieces of cannon. [Among the American detachments which hastened towards Charleston to as- sist Lincoln, and retreated when they heard of his fall, was that of Col. Buford, commanding 400 infantry and a small troop of cavalry, with two held pieces.

Darkness com- menced between the hours ol'lO and 11 a. m., and continueti until the middle of the next night. Its extent was from Fal- mouth, Maine, to New Jersey. The dark- ness was so great in some parts of Massa- chusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, Rhode Island and Connecticut, that persons were unable to see to read, or manage their do- mestic business, without lighting candles, and everything bore the appearance and gloom of night. June 7. — British take possession of Elizabethtown and burn Connecticut farm s, Jwiie 12.— Clinton, commanding Bri- tish forces, endeavors to draw Washington into a general battle or to capture his stores at Morristown, but fails in both.

Mr. Caldwell immediately left the lady, saying he would deliver tlie bundle to the commanding officer, who was then present ; and, as he stepped forward to do so, another soldier told iiim to stop, whicli he immediately did. The soldier without further provocation shot him dead on tlie sjjot. The villain who murdered him was seized and executed. Jan. 1. — Mutiny of Pennsylvania Line. The pay of officers and men of the Conti- nental army had been so long in arrears, and money asked for in vain, that finally 1,300 troops of the Pennsylvania Line left the camp at Morristown, with the avowed determination of marching to Philadel- phia, and in person, demand justice of tlie National Legislature. When the mu- tineers reached Princeton they were met by British emissaries from New York, who came to seduce them by bribes to enter the King's service. Indignant at the implied suspicion of their patriotism, the insurgents seized the spies and de- livered tliem to Gen. Wayne for pimisli- ment. When Gen. Wayne, who was sent by Washington to bring the insurgents back, first placed himself before the insurgents with loaded pistols, they put their bayonets to his breast, and said : " We love and respect you, but if you fire you are a dead man. We are not going to the enemy; on the contraiy, if they were now to come out, you should see us fight under your orders with as much alacrity as ever." They were met also by a deputation from Congress, who relieved their wants, and gave them such satisfac- tory guarantees for the future, that they returned to their duty. Jan. — The Bank of North America, the first ever established in the United States, about this time came into existence in Philadelphia. It was under the charge of Robert Morris, to whose superinten- dence Congress had intrusted the public Treasury. Jan. 5. — Benedict Arnold, traitor, now in the employ of the British, penetrates up the James river, and destroys a large quantity of public and private stores at Richmond.

Five sailors started out for a cruise, and when they arrived at the foot of Olney's lane, about 8 o'clock in the evening, they met six or seven steamboat men, who said thev hid a row with the darkies, and asked the sailors to go up and aid them. This party, greatly in- creased, proceeded up the lane, when they were received with stones thrown from the houses of the blacks. Stones were then thrown by th« crowd against the houses. During the' melee the darkies fired upon them, killing one man and wounding two others. As soon as it was discovered the fol- lowing day that a white man was killed by the blacks, it occasioned great excitement, and a mob assembled, when the Sheritf arrested seven and committed them to jail, but in three or four instan- ces the mob made a rescue. On the 23d the mob renewed their attack at Snow- town, stoning and destroying houses. The military were called out to preserve or- der, but were met witli detianee from the mob. Stones were hurled at them with such force by the mob, as to split the stocks of several muskets, and, as a mat- ter of self-protection they were compelled to tire. Four of the rioters were killed and the mob dispersed. A coni'mittee of the citizens of Providence appointed to investigate the matter were unanimous in their opinion that the infantry were justi- tied in tiring, and that it was strictly in defence of their lives.

This word is a corruption of husher, formerly a common term for a bully throughout the West. Hub of the Universe. — A burlesque and popular designation of Boston, Mass., originating with the American humorist, O. W. Holmes. Iron (Jity. — A name popularly given in the United States to Pittsburgh, Pa., a city distinguished for its numerous and immense iron manufactures. Ketch, Jack. — A hangman or execu- tioner ; so called in England, from one John Ketch, a wretch who lived in the time of James II., and made himself uni- versally odious by the butchery of many brave and noble victims, particularly those sentenced to death by the infamous Jettreys during the "Bloody Assizes." Tlie name is thought by some to be de- rived from Richard Jacquett, who held the manor of Tyburn, near London, where criminals were formerly executed. Keystone State. — The State of Pennsyl- vania ; so called from its having been the central State of the Union at the time of the formation of the Constitution. If the names of the thirteen original States are arranged in the form of an arch, Pennsyl- vania will occupy the place of the key- stone. King Cotton. — A popular personification of the great staple production of the Soutliern States of America. The su- premacy of cotton seems to have been first asserted by the Hon. James H. Ham- mond of South Carolina, in a speech de- livered by him in the Senate of the United States, on the 4th of March, 1858. Kitchen Cabinet. — A name sportively given, in the United States, to the Hon. J^'rancis P. Blair and the Hon. Amos Ken- dall, by the opponents of President Jack- son's administration. Blair was the edi- tor of The Globe, the organ of the Presi- dent, and Kendall was one of the princi- pal contributors to the paper. As it was necessary for Jackson to consult fre- quently with those gentlemen, and as, to avoid observation, they were accustomed, when they called upon him, to go in by a back door, the Whig party styled them, in derision, the "Kitchen Cabinet," alleg- ing that it was by their advice that the President removed so many Whigs from office and put Democrats in their place.

During the exciting debates in Congress in 1820, on the question of excluding slavery from the State of Missouri, the eccentric John Randolph, of Roanoke, made great use of the phrase, which was caught up and re-echoed by every news- paper in the land, and thus gained a celebrity which it still retains.

This imagi- nary prophet is said to have written the book called "The Book of Mormon," which contains doctrines upon which the "Mormons," or "Latter Day Saints" found their faith ; but the real author was one Solomon Spalding, (born 1761 and died 1816) an inveterate scribbler,who had in early life been a clergj^man. The work fell into the hands of Joseph Smith, who claimed it as a direct revelation to himself from heaven, and, taking it as his text and authority, began to preach the new gospel of "Mormonism."

The name involves an allusion to Uncle Sam, the common per- sonification of the United States Govern- ment. Sambo. — A cant designation of the ne- gro race.

The Koran relatesthetaleofthe seven sleepers. 232 IMPORTANT EVKNTS OF THE CENTURY. deriving? it probably from the same source as the Christian legend, and declares that out of respect for them the svin altered his coarse twice a day that he might shine into the cavern. tSeven Wonders of the World, The. — A name given to seven verj' remarkable ob- jects of the ancient world, which have been variously enumerated. The follow- ing classification is one of the most gener- allv received : 1. The Pyramids of Egvpt; 2. The Pharos of Alexander; 3. The walls and hanging gardens of Babylon ; 4. The Temple of Diana at Ephesus; 5. The statue of the Olympian Jupiter; 0. The jNIausoleum of Artemisia; 7. The Co- lossus of Rhodes. Skinners. — A name assumed by a pre- datory band in the revolutionary war, who, professing allegiance to the Ameri- can cause, but influenced by a desire to plunder, roamed over the " neutnil ground," lying between the hostile armies, robbing those who refused to take the oath of fidelity.

The use of bituminous coal occasions dense volumes of smoke to fill the air in and around the place, soiling the garments of passengers, and giving the buildings a dark and sooty appear- ance. Stonewall Jackson. — A sobriquet given, during the American civil war, to Thomas .Jonathan .Jackson (born 1824, died 1863), a general in the service of the Confederate States. This famous appel- lation had its origin in an expression used by the Confederate General Lee, on trying to rally his men at the battle of Bull Run, July 21, 1802—" There is Jack- son standing like a stone wall." From that day he was known as Stonewall Jackson, and his command as the Stone- wall Brigade. Sucker State. — A cant name given in America to the State of Illinois, the in- habitants of which are very generally called Suckers throughout the west. The origin of this term is said to be as follows : The western prairies are in many places full of the holes made by the crawfish (a fresh-water shell-fish, similar in form to the lobster), which descend to the water beneath. In early times, when travelers wended their way over these immense plains, they very prudently provided themselves with a long hollow reed, and when thirsty thrust it into these natural artesians, and thus easily supplied their longings.

Tammany, »S'<.— The name of an Indian Chief who, in the United States, has been popularly canonized as a saint, and adopted as the tutelai-y genius of one branch of the Democratic party.

He resided in the countrj^ which is now Delaware until he was of age, when he moved beyond the Alleghanies, and settled on the"^banksof the Ohio.

When he became old he called a council to have a sucsessor ap- pointed, after which the residue of his life was spent in retirement, and tradi- tion relates that "young and old repaired to his wigwam to hear him discourse wisdom." His great motto was, "Unite in peace for happiness, in war for de- fence." When and by whom he was first styled saint, or by ^vhat whim he was chosen to be the patron of Democracy, does not appear.

This work fell to the lot of a facetious fellow in the employ of the Messrs. Wilson, who, on being asked by some of his fellow-work- men the meaning of the mark (for the letters U. S., for United States were then almost entirely new to them) said he did not know, unless it meant Elbert Ander- son and "Uncle Sam," alluding exclusi- vely to the said "Uncle Sam " Wilson. The joke took among the workmen, and passed currently; and "Uncle Sam" himself being present, was occasionally rallied bv them on the increasing extent of his po'^ssessions. Many of these work- men, being of a character denominated "fond of powder," were found, shortly after, following the recruiting drum, and pushing toward the frontier lines, for the double purpose of meeting the enemy and of eating the provisions they had latelv labored to put in good order. Their old jokes accompanied them, and before the first campaign ended, this identical one first appeared in print ; it gained favor rapidly, till it penetrated, and was recog- nized,' in every part of the country, and will, no doubt, continue so while the United States remain a nation. Underground Railroad, The.— A. popu- lar embodiment of the various ways in which fugitive slaves from the Southern States were assisted in escaping to the North, or to Canada; often humorously abbreviated U. G. R. R. Wagoner Boy, The.— A. sobriquet of the Hon. Thomas (Jorwin (born 1794), a dis- tinguished American statesman. While yet a lad, Harrison and his army were on the northern frontier, almost destitute of provisions, and a demand was made on the patriotism of the people to furnish the necessary subsistence. The elder Corwin loaded a wagon with supplies, which was delivered by his son, who remained with the ani.y during the rest of the campaign, and who is said to have proved himselt " a good whip and an excellent reinsman." TT>.s^'rn Reserve, The.— A name popu- larly given to a regionof country reserved by the State of Connecticut, at the time of the cession of the Northwest Territory to the United States. Dispute arose, after the war of the Revolution, between se- veral of the States respecting the right of soil in their territory, which were only allayed by the cession of the whole to the United States, Connecticut reserving a tract of 3,6(56,921 acres near Lake Erie. In 1800, jurisdiction over this tract was relin- quished to the Federal Government, the State reserving the right to the soil to settlers, while the Indian titles to the rest of the soil were bought up by the general government. In 1799 the North- western Territory, over which Congress had exercised jurisdiction since 1787, was admitted to a second grade of territorial government.

[FOUUTEENTU PKESIDENT.] Franklin Pierce was born at Hills- borough, New Hampshire, on the 23d of November, 1804, and died in 1869. He graduated at Bowdoin College, Maine, in 1824 ; studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1827. He was President from 1853 to 1857. Mr. Pierce had barely attained the requisite legal age when he was elected to the Senate. He there found such men as Clay, W'ebster, Calhoun, Thomas H. Benton, and Silas Wright. Nathaniel Hawthorn says in his biography of Mr. Pierce : " With his usual tact and ex- quisite sense of proprietj', he saw it was not the time for him to step forward pro- minently on this highest theatre in the land. He beheld these great combatants doing battle betbre the eyesof the nation, and engrossing its whole regards. There was hardly an avenue to reputation save what was occupied by one or another of those gigantic tigures." During Tyler's administration, he resigned. When the Mexican war broke out, he enlisted as a volunteer, but soon rose to the office of brigadier-general. He distinguished him- self under General Scott, against wliom he afterwards successfully ran for the Presidency, and upon whom, during his administration, he conferred the title of lieutenant-general. On the question of slavery, Mr. Pierce always sided with the South, and opposed anti-slavery measures in every shape. In a message to Con- gress in 1856, he characterized the forma- tion of a free State government in Kansas as an act of rebellion, and justified the principles of the Kansas and Nebraska Act. He, however, espoused the national cause at the opening of the civil war, and urged a cordial support of the administra- tion at Washington. JAMES BUCHANAN. [FIFTEENTH fKESIDE.VT. ] James Buchanan was born in Frank- lin county, Pennsylvania, April 13, 1791, and died at Wheatland, June 1, 1868. He was a graduate of Dickinson College and was admitted to the bar in 1812. He was President from 1857 to 1861, and was so constantly in office from 1820 up t.. that time that he was know by the sobriquet ot " Public Functionarv." The " bachelor-President," as Mr. Bu- chanan was sometimes called, was sixty. SIX years old when he was called to the executive chair. He had just returned to his native country, after an absence of lour years as Minister to England. Pre- viously to that he liad been well known in public life as Congressman, Senator, 2U ADVERTISEMENTS. Wm. H.

With Van Buren, he warmly advocated the idea of an independent treasury against the opposition of Clay, Webster, and others. Under Tyler, he was ur- gently in favor of the annexation of Texas, thus again coming in conflict with Clay and Webster. However, he cordially agreed with them in the compromise of 1850, and urged its favor upon the people. Much was hoped from his election, as he avowed the object of his administration to be " to destroy any sectional party, whether North or South, and to restore, if WINES AND LIQUORS.

He was now in succes- sion a flat-boat hand, clerk, captain of a company of volunteers in the Black Hawk War, country store-keeper, postmaster, and surveyor, yet he managed to get a knowledge of law by borrowing books at an office, before it closed at nigtit, and re- turning them at its opening in the morn- ing. On being admitted to the bar, he rapidly rose to distinction. At twent}'- five he was sent to the Legislature, and was thrice re-elected. Turning his atten- tion to politics, he soon became a leader. He was sent to Congress; he canvassed the State, haranguing the people daily on great national questions; and, in 1858, he was candidate for Senator, a second time, against Stephen A. Douglass, The two rivals stumped the State together. The debate, unrivalled for its statesman- YEAST MANUFACTURER. ship, logic, and wit, won for Lincoln a national reputation.

He was a tall, ungainly man, little versed in the refinements of society, but gifted by nature with great comnion sense, and everywhere known as "Honest Abe." Kind, earnest, sympathetic, faithful, democratic, he was'only anxious^ to serve his country. His wan, fatigued face, and his bent form, told of the cares he bore, and the grief he felt. His only relief was, when tossing aside for a moment the heavv load of responsil)ility, his faqe would light up with a humorsome smile, •while he narrated some incident whose aptness to the subject at hand, and irre- sistible wit, conviilsed his hearers, and rendered "Lincoln's stories" household words tliroughout the nation. ANDREW JOHNSON. [SEVENTEENTH PUESIDENT.j Andrew Johnson was born near Ra- leigh, North Carolina, December 29, 1808. He was Vice-President when Abraham Liincoln was assassinated, and by liis death Mr. .Johnson became the constitu- tional President of the United States. He died in 1875, while serving as United States Senator from Tennessee. When only ten years of age, Mr. John- son was bound apprentice to a tailor of Ra- leigh. Never having been a day at school in his life, he yet determined to secure an education. From a fellow-workman he learned the alphabet, and from a friend something of spelling. Thenceforth, after working ten or twelve hours per day at his trade, he spent two or three every night in study. In 1826, he went West to seek his fortune, with true filial affection carrying with him his mother, who was dependent on his labor for support. After his marriage at Greenville, Tenn., he con- tinued his studies under the instruction of his wife, pursuing his trade as before by day. His political life commenced with his election as alderman. He was successively chosen mayor, member of the legislature. Presidential elector, State senator, twice govornor, and for fifteen years U. S. senator. Remaining true to the Union when his State seceded, his loyalt3'^ attracted general attention. A life-time democrat, he was elected on the republican ticket as Vice-President, in reward for his faithfulness. Cominginto office with a repul)lican Congress, it is not strange that his way was hedged with difficulties, and his Presidential, career a most unhappy one. ULYSSES S. GRANT. [EIGHTEENTH PHESIDENT, TWO TERMS.] Ulysses S. Grant was born at Point Pleasant. Clermont county, Ohio, April 27, 1822. He was very unwilling to follow his father's trade, which was that of a tan- ner, and, at seventeen, an appointment was secured for him at West Point.

Two years after completing his four years' course as cadet, the Mexican war broke out, in which Grant conducted himself with great gal- lantry, receiving especial mention and promotion. In 1847 he was made hrst lieutenant, captain in 1853, and in 1854 re- signed his commission, and entered the leather and saddlery business at Ualena, Illinois, in 1859, where he remained until the opening of the war in 18til, when he immediately ottered his services in behalf of the Union. His modesty and dillidt nee delayed their acceptance, and Governor Yates, of Illinois, was the tirst to avail himself of them. Grant tinally took the field as colonel of the Twenty-first Regi- ment Illinois Volunteers. In February, 1862, he was made a major-general, and commanded the armies oi the Southwest. On the 12th of March, lbt)4, he was made lieutenant-general and put in command of all the armies, and took personal direc- tion of the military operations in Virginia, and, on the 9th of April, 1865, General Lee surrendered the Confederate armies to him, at Appomattox Court House, and hostilities were ended. He was nominated and elected by the Republicans President of the United States in 18(38, and re-elected by the same party in 1872, and is now the present in- cumbent. His term expires in 1877.
