IK'ath of Andrew Jolinsoiu
Ex-1 'resident Andrew Johnson died at
the residence of his sister, Mrs. W. It.
lirown, in Carter coiuih', Tenn., on the
morning of Saturday', Job Bl. He left
his home in Greenville, (ireeu county,
on Tuesday, the i7th, iu his usual
health, hale, alert, ami vigorous, to spend
a few days with his daughter. On
the evening of the following day he
w;us suddenly stricken down with paraly
sis, mainlv all'ecting his left side, and
rendermg him uucouscious, in which
condition lie remained for manv noun,
On Friday rallied, fooling wae jar-
tially restored to Liis left siile, he con
versed intelligently, end his friends bud
every roaaon to nope foe his early re
covery. On Suturday morning, liow
ever, Mr. Johnson received a teoond
itttuck, which he iQXVived but u short
time.
A dispatch from (Ireenville, Tenn., to
I Nashville paper ffhrew the following
partionlan f Mr, Johnaon's fflneoe and
ueatlt: "He hiul been complaining sonie
what of ill health during the ptust nioiith,
but felt no apjirehensioiis. Luust Wedneev
duy he took the morning tndn to visit
bil daughter, with whom Mrs. Johnson
lnttl been sojourning for the put six
weeks. He rode in a hack from Carter's
di pot to her residence, some six miles
distant, ami seemed in good spirits on
arrival, iUid ate a hearty dinner, and
after a few minutes of general conversa
tion retired up suits, and wan talking
alone With his granddaughter, Miss Liliie
Stover. While thus engaged, his tongue
refused to utter a tone, and to her great
consternation he fell from his seat to
the Hour. Help was instantly sum
moned, and almost as soon us raised he
expressed indistinctly that his right side

became unconscious. Mrs. Patterson
and Andrew Johnson, Jr., arrived an
hour later with two physicians from
(ireenville, lrs. Hrey and Taylor, but
he did not recognize either of them, and
after seven hours and a half of uiioon
ecAoUSnaeS peacefully breathed his last,
surrounded bv his wife, children, and
all Ins grandchildren, except the son and
daughter f ex-Senator Paneraon."
Mr. Johnson a short time previoui to
his death, expressed a ilesire that his
winding-enect be the flag of bJa country,
Andrew Johnson was eminently s. if
made man. It w;us his reasonable boast
that from a youth of extreme poverty,

The Strike in Kmrlaml.
It is evident from the rllepetohei of the
List few days from England that matters
in some of the maiiufactuing districts
there are growing alarming. The op. ra
lives in the cotton mills at AMitoii,
St d. ybridge, Dnnkenfield and Moasley
have itniOl for higher wages, and the
masters have responded witn a lock ..ut.
One hundred mills have been closed and
18,000 hands thrown out of employment
at Oldham, and at Ashtoti fifty mills are
closed ami 8,000 hands thrown out of
employment. The almost universal de
pression of trade is the cause that produce-,
this unfortunate state of things,
and there is no prospect of a spis-dy ter
mination of the depression. Twi lity or
thirty thousand persons suddenly de
pri( (1 of their only means of livelihood
form a very dangerous element in the
manufacturing districts, and it would
; not be surprising if scenes f violence
were to be enacted that would call for
s tags meat one on the part of the gov
ernment. It is very clear that the labor
I (juestion in England is growing nmre
complex and threaten in:' - v. i v year, and
it seems unavoidable that it must, sooner
or Liter, tiud a crisis in a fmious and
destructive outbreak.

raised for this country's consumption in
