THE CRYSTAL PALACE-WILL IT PAY
Some of the New York papers are dis
cussing the question whether the Crystal
Palace will pay as a speculation. One of
them tounds an opinion adverse to it's pc
cuniary profit on the following grounds
which may or may not be correct:
The structure cost $500, 900, while the
cost of keeping things in order runs away
with one thousand five hundred dollars
per week more. The receipts thus far,
have averaged about $4,000 per week.
Should these receipts continue until the
grant of the ground expires, two years
from last May, the stockholders will be
treated to the following exhibit: Cost Of
building, $500, 900 weekly expenses ior
l04 weeks, at 81 500 per week, $685.

have we to suppose that the receipts will

upon For the first six months the re-
ceipts may equal not only eight thousand
dollars, but go beyond it; but what will
the succeeding six months do? In all

the Navy, on board the frigate Columbia,
were also set forth at length, and for re-
speetability he referred to thousands of
New York citizens" who had boarded at
his hotel in Panama. He made n strong
appeal to the citizens Of the United States
whose sympathies had to a considerable

President was even invoked to demand
that he be set at liberty. The brightest

From the Cumberland Allcghanian.
reu, jackson and Lorenzo Dow

=
Having seen in your paper of to-day
two anuecdotes concerning General Jack
son, it has occurred to me that an Incl
dent with which he is connected to be
published.
In the spring of the year e823, when
General Jackson was candidate for re-
election. the writer of this called. in COM
pany with a gentleman from Frederick
county, on the President, at his seSideuce
in Washington. When we entered, the
celebrated Lorenzo Dow, and two other
visitors apparently of his religious creed
were present. Soon after we entered,
Lorenzo Dow asked permission to say to
General Jackson Il few words. The pre-
sident said he would be pleased to hear
anything his visitors had to communicate.
Lorenzo Dow then rose ,and in a formal and
very solemn manner made to General
Jackson set speech. In substance, he
said to the President that he had been
twice chosen Chief Magistrate by the Peo-
pie but that Congress had permitted him
To qualify as President but once that he
would be again elected by the people at
the election to be held in November, 1882
But said Dow, in Il deep, sepulchral
tone, beware of your enemies. After your
election, and before your Inauguration,
they will attempt to take your life. GEN
eral Jackson replied, g have, sir, en-
countered many dangers and have trusted
always. and will trust, in the providence
of my God"
The writer of this was present in the
rotunda of the capitol in February, 1883.
after the election and before the inaupu-
ration OF General Jackson, when the at.
tempt was made to shoot him with a pis-
Sol, and could not but look upon the full
6lment of the prediction of Lorenzo Dow
as remarkable coincidence
