AN ACTIVE LIFE.
a J jstph Ecclcston Johnston,
who has been nominated ns the dem
ocratic conservative candidate for
Ootigress in the Richmond (Vu.)
district, is in the seventy-seoond year
of his age, having been horn in
Prince Edward County, Vn„ Fehru-
ary, 1807. He graduated at West
Point as a second lieutenant in 182!)
and served in Florida against the
Seminole Indians, a portion of the
time on the staff of Gen. Winded
Scott In 1837 he resigned his com
mission to e igege in civil engineer
ing, but in 1838 re-entered the ser
vice i.s first lieutenant of topograph
ical engineers, and lor gallantry in
Fi »riJa was breve tied captain. At
t‘ • siege of Vera Cruz, Mexico, he
served on engineer duty, was appoin
ted lieutenant of colonel voltigeurs;
af Cerro Gordo received severe
wounds and was breveted major and
colonel. He afterwards participated
in the battles of Contreras, Chnru-
hn«co, Molino del Key, Ghnpultepec
and the final assault on the City of
Mexico, being again wounded at the
latter place. In 1855 General John
ston was appointed lieutenant of cav
alry, and took part in the Utali ex
pedition as inspector general. In
18(10 he was appointed quartermaster
general with tho rank of brigadier
gi-ueral, which position he resigned
in 1801 to follow the fortunes of
Virginia. His career in the Confed
erate army, where he rose from the
l ank of major general to that of a full
general, is familiar to the public. He
was early wounded in the advance
upon McClellan, and was immediate
ly succeeded by Gen. Robert E. Lee,
and subsequently, as is known, his
military operations, were in the
Southwest. After the war General
Johnston engaged in the insurance
business in tho South, with head
quarters ut Atlanta, Ga., and a few
months ago made his home in Rich
mond, Va. Gen. Johnston married
a sister of the Hon. Robert McLune,
of Rultimore, who is an aspirant for
the democratic Congressional uopii-
. nation in the fourth Maryland dis
trict.
A ROUT THE 1’ULKE.
Every intelligent person should
know how to ascertain the si ate ol
the pulse in health; then by compar
ing it with whut it was when he is
uiiing he may have some idea of the
case. Parents slum Id ku'dw the
healthy pulse of each child, us now
and then a person is horn with a
remurkably slow or fast pulse, and
tin- very case in hand may he ol that
peculiarity. A'l infant’s pulse is 140;
u child of seven years, about eighty;
and from twenty to sixty years, it it,
seventy h.-uis a minute, declining to
sivy at loiii'score. A healthful
• 'rowa person's pulse beau seventy
times a minute. There may he good
luukli down to sixty; but if the
pulse always exceeds seventy there is
a disease. Tho nmchino is working
itself out; there is fever und infiam-
,nation somewhere, and the body is
feeding on itself—as in consumption,
when the pulse is quick, that is, over
sixty, gradually increasing with de
creased. chances of cure, until it
•reaches 110 or 120. when death
comes before many days. When the
pulse is over seventy for months, and
them is a slight cough, the Iftngs are
affected.
‘Have you a curd, sir?’ asked the
door-keeper or the hoc up. The man
looked a little surprised, and answer
ed; ‘Card ? No! I don’t carry a pack.’
‘Where a r e you from ?’ inquired the
'1«or-keHoor. ‘North Garoliny* was
lop reply. Wlfiit do you do down in
North Carolina when you go visiting?
Don’t yon send a card to the man
von want to see?’ The ‘tar-hcel’
laughed right out. ‘Lors-a-niiiary!’
ho •■xelaimed. ‘Wv, wo ride up to a
iV’lor’s fence and holler to him to tie
his dog; and then we light and go

yhanded sons of toil to his wife,

COTTON SEED OIL MILLS AT THE
SOUTH.
The cotton seed oil manufactures
of the Southern States are feeling very
jubilant over the prospects of u large
cotton crop, aud quite u number ure
giving orders for the enlargement
of the mills for producing the oil.
Some of the largest concerns con
sume about 125 tons of seed per day.
The past season has been less profit
able than usu d to manufacturers,
hut previously the making of the oil
has been very mmunerutivv. Seed
worth *7 to *8 per ton yields from 30
to 40 gallons of oil, worth 40 to 50
cents per. gallon, and the cake, pro
duced at the rate of 750lbs per ton,
is worth about $20 per ton. There
is also a remainder of 20 lbs of lint
to every ton of seed, that is usually
worth 0 to 7 cents to the pound.
A thoughtful observer on woman’s
rights comes to their defense very ef
fectively as follows: I have seen wo
men so delicate that they were afraid
to ride, for fear of the horse running
away; afraid to walk for fear the dew
might fall; afraid to sail for fear tho
boat might upset; but I never saw
one that was afraid to get married,
which is more risklul than all the
others put together.
Now, they said to her, you can go
in and see him; but remember that
lie is very sick with heart disease and
don’t say a word that will trouble
him. Then she walked in, sat down
on the edge of a chair, and remarked
cheerfully, as she shook her head.—
Ah—ah!—m!— sad, ain’t it? Thought
I’d jest run in cause they said there
