Mr.. EDToR: The strikingly close resemblances
between Generals jackson and Pierce SO frequent
ly pointed out by that impartial paper the Wash
ington Union, forcibly recalls to my memory the
equally close resemblance between two fshermea,
Of whom read when boy, as follows:
The first fisherman, General JAcKsos.)
His rod it was made, of the sturdy oak,
His line cable, that was never broke,
He baited his hook with big tigers tails
And sailed In ship in search Of whales.
The second Jfsherman, General PIERcn)
His rod g feather from turkeys head,
His line is stran of cotton thread,
He bats his hook with the eyes OF frogs,
And fishes in puddles for polywogs.
