HOW ANDY JOHNSON RAN AWAY. ‘There is much unpublished rem- imscence about Andy Johnson, plied Mr. Brownlow, ‘His tamily was the poorest of the poor people ot the South. He learned his trade as tailor in North Carolina, but away before he had served out term as an apprentice. He high spirited youth and_ his wastyranical. One night dled up his clothes and left the coun- try. He fled to South Carolina and stayed there for some time, working as a journeyman tailor. [ust before the tamily started for Tennessee he returned. He went to his old ter and offered him pay fer the time yet remaining ot his fapprenticeship. Said he: ‘‘I cannot wors for yeu, hut I recognize the right you have to my services; I apprenticed myself voluntarily and I am willing to pay for my time.’’ | understand the man forgave him. Atthis time he was eighteen years old and had _ learned to read while working atthe bench.’” SEVENTEEN YEARS A TAILOR. re- ran his was a master he bun- mas- *‘Did he stick to his trade after he came to Tennessee ?’’ **Yes. The family consisting of his mother and three ehildren, of whom he was the oldest, came over the mountains in a rickety, canvas- covered wagon, and settled near Greenville. For the first few days they hved in the wagon. Then they rented a log cabin, and Andy opened alittle shop in the village. His sign was: A. J@HNSON, TAILOR. ‘*This log cabin which they rent- ed was a poor affair. It had only one room, and the door was so low that a medium-sized woman must stoop in entering it. The logs were chInked with clay and the chimney was made ot mud and branches mix- ed together. Here ke lived and walked into town in the morning and back im the evening. He kept at tailoring in Oreenvile for seventeen years, working at the bench during the recesses of the legislature, and while be held other offices. He did not give up tailoring until he went to congress, and he made clothes from the time of his election in August un- til the time he left for Washington in December. After that he was in public life much of the time, and he left his trade for geod.”’ **He marned in Greenville, did he net?’? tess” **Andrew Johnson's wife was the daughter of a shoemaker. Hername was Eliza McCardle. teen years old when he married, and she was a little elder. Miss Mct dle had receiyed the ordinary village school education, and she taught her | husband to write and cipher. She was a bright woman, but never ap- peared much in Washington society. During the ten years he was in con- gress she was here only a few months and during his term at the White House she never appearea at public receptions. That she was somewhat an invalid at thistime may have ac- counted tor this. ANDREW JOHNS®N’S ECONOMY Had something to do with keeping | ms tamily at heme. He was very economical. His circumstances made him so when he was young, and his habits thus acquired stuck to | him. He died worth $150,000, and this was purely the accumulation of interest. He little or no money cutside of his sal- y. While he was tn congress he accumulated $50,000, and out of his his salary and made He was nine- salary as president $70,000. The president’s salary was then $25,000, and I suppose Johnson saved more than any other president except Hayes. When he studied law he | was too poor to buy books, and he | spent his leisure time about the court (house in Greenville reading these belonging there. Henever kept a horse or carriage, and during his con- | gressional campaigns he borrowed a | nenghbors steed to ride over the dis- trict. This was probably one of the | reasons why he did ot give his chil- | dren college education. His three sons went to the common | school of the South, and the only | ademic education given any one of | them was the youngest while he was president, who was then twelve years old. He sent this boy to school tor afew months. His daughters were better treated, and they were at school in Georgetown while he was in the White House. Perhaps he did not believe in college education. He had gotten along with so_ little himself.’” JOHNSON AS A SCHOLAR. ‘Did he ever become anything of a scholar?’’ *‘Ne! He wasa good speaker, but he was very ungramatical. He was a man of force and Ideas, but he could not write a speech. While he was in the White House he did _ not write his own messages. Youknow Jere Black testified to having writ- ten some parts of certain messages while on the witness stand. Many of his speeches were written by Judge Milhgan, who was his intimate friends through life. He and John- son came from the same town. They were elected to the legislature at the same time, and they remained friend throughout lite. Milligan ot- ten disagreed with Johnson as to public matters, but Johnson stuck to his friends though he did not always stick to his party. One of his last acts as president was to obtain tor Milligan a judgeship in the court of claims. ‘*What kind ot aman was Andrew Johnson socially ?’’ **He could be verry pleasant in- deed. Buthe did notcare for so- ciety, and he shunned the dinners et his brother statesmen. Mr. John- son possessed great native personal dignity, and he could, uponoccasion be as polite as a Chesterfield. He had a way with him which pleased all with whom he came in contact, and he could be free-and easy with- out abating one jot of his dignity,”’ ‘sWhat has become of his fami- ly =’ **Most of them are dead. | three sons and two daughters. daughter is the sole survivor. He had One This is Martha Johnson that was, and Mrs. Judge Peterson that is. She was the feldest daughter. and she presided at the White House while Johnson was president. She takes much after her father, has a striking- ly characteristic face, and isa woman of great intellectual torce, She is married to Judge Peterson, a man much older than herself, and lives on a tarm near Greenville, Tenn.’’ ‘-By the way,’ continued Mr. Brownlow, ‘‘you haye never heard jof Andrew Johnson's first love. ' The president fell in love early. He | was only nineteen years old when he married, but two years before this, | while he wasa journeyman tailer in South Carolina, he fell in love witb \ the daughter of a small planter. His | love was returned. but the girl's | father, who had a few acres of land and a couple of negroes, would not consent to his daughter marrying a tailor. and the tuture president was rudely repulsed."’—[From an inter- view in the Cleveland Leader with Parson Brownlow’s son Beating Sa From the Waterbury American.
