Reminiscences of the Attempt to Drive Presi dent Andrew Johnson from Office. Washington Special to Louisville Courier-Journal. An interesting: episode is related by a gentleman here in relation to the impeachment of An drew Johnson. On the evening after the resoIntions of imDeachment of the President were passed by the House Hon. Wrc E. Niblack, Hon. M. C. Kerr and Judge Siarshall, of Illi nois, possibly with several other Democrats, went to Senator Hendricks and requested him to po with them to see President Johnson and learn what course he proposed to pursue. Gov ernor Hendricks declined to go on the grounds that be would be one of the judges in the case, and it would be manifestly improper for him to advise with the defendant at the bar. These gentlemen then called on Mr. Johoson and asked him what he was going to do. He replied that be did not think that he would do anything; that be had administered the laws according to the constitution. and as far as he was concerned be would 1imt an leave nuit the White House as not, but that his two daughters. Mrs. Stover and Mrs. Patterson, thought that it would be humiliating to leave Washington in that way. He at first refused to employ any counsel, and seemed determined to let the case eo by default. It is tated that Secretary Seward of his own volition mploved Evarts to defend the President. Soma of the friends of Johnson went to see Jerry Black, and sought his professional serv ices to defend the President, but Mr. Johnion had given Mr. Black such deep offense In refusing to interfere in behalf of some of his (Black's) clients that he refused to give bis services in defense of the President against the Radical maiority which then was doing its best to destroy the remaining vestiges of consti tutional government The gentleman who relates these particulars was in Washington at the time the vote on impeachment was taken, and received these facts from participants in the memorable events. He describes the scenes on tne avenue as exceeding anything in popular exRitement be hns ever witnessed, and remembers eeeine Senator Henderson, who was chairman of the convention that nominated Blaine, get ting out of his carriage just after coming from the Senate, where he had voted against the im peachment. There was a big mob of negroes on the street, and they shouted, "Hang him. hang him!" at the Senator, and it was only because of the lack of a leader that Henderson escaped being hung to a lamppost. The gentleman adds to this reminiscence that at the time of the impeachment the t ortysecond regulars were camped back of the White House. Colonel Shea, of Lexington, Ind.. was a captain of the regiment, and was familiar with the sentiment of the regiment, and says that they had determined that if there was any at tempt to oust the President from the White House forcibly they would have organized, and there would have been a bloody battle right at the presidential mansion; that it had been, in fact, resolved upon to resist to bloodshed any attempt to remove the President. BIINOR MATTERS. The Foreman of the Guiteau Tnry Reports on the Condition of Ills Companions. Washington Special. The Chicago News recently published an interview with Georjre Scoville, Guiteau's brother-in-law, and principal attorney, in which he stated that the wealthy foreman of the jury became penniless and four other members of the jury died and another one was Bent to the insane asylum. "That," said Mr. John P. Hamlin, of this city, who was the foreman of the Jury, "is a lie. I am not penniless. On the tontrary, my business is in a better condition than ever it was before, my health, as you can see, is just perfect, and I am a very happy and contented person. Only one member of the jury has died, and that was poor Tom Heinlin, who was half dead with consumption when he went on the jury. I will confess that one of the jurors is in the insane asylum, but his going there was not the result of his serving on the Guiteau jury, unless, however, it was the result of long confinement. No," said Mr. Hamlin, in conclusion, "Guiteau's curse upon the beads of those who had to do with his conviction and hanging amounts to nothing." The Legion of Honor. Washington. Aug. 26.

WHY BODIES ARE BURIED AT SEA. Steamers Have No Means of Keeping; Them and They Depress Passengers. New York World. When a death occurs at sea a certificate is filed containing all information as. to the probable causes which produced death, and also a3 to the manner of disposing of the body. The bodies of persons who die at sea are kept twenty-four hours. In bygone times a superstition prevailed among Bailors tnat it a (lead body were kept aboard a vessel destruction would be its inevitable doom, but the notion does not exist among modern sailors. Monday, Aug. a, itev. a. a. uayton. of Amboy, N. Y. while returning from abroad on the Cunard steamer Etruria, died suddenly and his body was ounea at sea. The action of the officers in thus disposing of the body gave rise to much ad verse criticism. Some of the passengers said that the services were not of a becoming nature. I his report has reached the oars of the dead man s wife aud family and their friends. In order that the facts of the case might be under stood the folio wine statement was made bv the omcers ot tne ship: l he body was discovered dead in the state room about 9 o'clock Monday evening. Imme diately the doctor of the ship made it readv for burial. After the usual preparations were com pleted the remains were laid out and enshroudea wuu an n.ngnsn nag, oecause that contains a a TT . ... cross. Tuesday morning the body was sewed up in canvass and then deposited in a wooden box. covered over with the flag. Solemnly and with every evidence of respect the remains were car ried on tne shoulders or eieht sailors to the after-cane way. Chief Officer Seccomb. a nuraauo and Christian sailor, bad charge of the funeral arrangements. A few moments after 8 o'clock Tuesday morning the ship s officers and a large number of the cabin passengers encircled the body, and the funeral services were cosiaucteu oy a minister, one 01 the passengers. At their conclusion, and when the minister read the words, 'I now consign this body to the deep,' the box, heavily weighted down with iron, was slid into the ocean. No secrecy prevailed, and everything was done in a proper and orderly manner, being witnessed bv any of the passengers who were so desirous." A burial at sea is a solemn and impressive event, and not many passengers like to witness it. A death at sea casts a gloom over the rest of the passengers, and naturally enough the offic ers try to do everything connected with the ouriai witn as little ostentation and display as possible. On every steamer the custom is to bury the dead at sea. The captain of the ship is the sole arbiter in this matter. W benever it is possible the body is carried in co port, providing the officers are convinced that the body will be claimed upon its arrival. All seamen are firm supporters of the theory that all persons dying on the high seas, unless a short distance from port, should be given up to the deep. On a heavily-laden steamer no room is provided where a dead body could be possibly preserved. The medicine chest usually carried does not contain tne necessary articles required to embalm a body. The French and White Star lines carrv metal lic coffins, and when the friends of a deceased person manifest a desire or are anxious to undergo the expense, the body will be preserved and carried to port if it can be done without danger to the other passengers. Numerous cases have occurred where men of wealth and distinction, traveling for'their health, have been buried at sea simply because they were unaccompanied and no evidence of who they were could be obtained. io law exists, a3 some steamship men claim, that makes it compulsory upon the captain of a ship to bury a dend bodv at sea. POISON IN SOAP. Adulterations in All Sorts of Honsehold Ar ticles What Investigation Shows. Philadelphia Record. 1 ne case or tne jamaen washwoman who. is sutienng irom Dioou-poisomng tnrougn using bad soap has developed symptoms of erysipelas, and uncertainty exists as to the outcome. Recently she purchased a quantity of cheap soap from a retail dealer in Camden, and used it while suffering from a cut on the left hand. Soon afterward her body was covered with sores, and she is now confined to her home. President Amerling, of the Society of the Preventation of Food Adulteration, investigated the matter and found that the soap was purchased from a Philadelphia wholesale house. He brought the woman's case to the attention of the proprietors. They expressed ignorance of the impure nature of the article, destroyed the stock they had on hand and notified the manufacturers of the stuff, who are established in Brooklyn, N. Y. Not only this, they visited the sick woman and made arrangements to have her cared for. The Society for the Prevention of Food Adulteration is pushing its investigations into the most common methods of adulteration. The results thus far obtained would seem to indicate that with but very few exceptions every manufactured article that enters into domestio food consumption i3 more or less adulterated. During the week ended on Saturday President Amerling had secured the affidavits of twentysix bakers, confectioners and noodle-makers, who, under oath, say that they have been using chrome yellow continuously for varying periods. In over two dozen samples of ice cream ana'"zed not one was found pure or composed of the ingredients the consumers supposed they were purchasing. White glue, gelatine and poisonous coloring matter were freely used. A report just prepared by four chemists employed by the society deals largely with the composition of articles entering into the consumption of every household, such as chocolate, coffee, coffee essence, spices, mustard and pickles, and shows that in many cases the stuff is a complete imitation, and has nothing in it of the essential element for which it was purchased. With some difficulty President Amerling has become possessed of literature which unbiushingly advertises poisonous adulterants for the use of bakers and confectioners. One specimen is the printed price-list of an importing and manufacturing drug house, wholesale dealers in bakers', confectioners' and bottlers' supplies, on Duane street. New York. In it is advertised, for the use of the trade, acetic, citric, salycilic, sulphuric and tartaric acids, almond paste, (which President Amerling states is almost entirely composed of pruasio acid), alum, bicarbonate of ammonia, borax, "butter" for bakers and confectioners, cream tarter, aniline, carmine and cochineal for coloring, chrome yellow for lemon, orange, raspberry, sarsaparilla. sugar, turmeric and ultramarine blue tints, camphor and willow charcoal. The same house advertises a sim ilar list in a Philadelphia journal devoted to the confectionery trade.. Another firm, located on Greenwich street, New York, advertises analine crystals, carmine, strawberry and chrome yel low coloring matter for soda-water, jellies and canned goods.

had been engaged. The facts are. Fair simply retired from the concern for reasons best kuown to Mackay and Flood." Responding to the question whether he bad anything to say in ra

ni v to this.
