OLD HICKORY.


All Americans are familiar with the sou
briquct Of Gen. Andrew Jack on; yet very
few know how it was earned by the old
hero. ] happen to be able to inform your
readers.
In 1896 was intimately acquainted with
Col John Allen, United States agent Of the
Chickasaw Indians, residing in Pontotoc
and with his brother, Capt. Wm. Allen,
then merchant in that town, ! learned
from Capt. Wm. Allen that hi father was
a near ncigbbor and devoted friend Of Gen
Jackson, and that he and his brother John
served as soldiers in his escort in all his
and messed with him during the Greek
war. They were certainly great fayorites
with him and he rewarded them for their
friendship by giving them lucrative appoint
ments in the Chickasaw nation while he
was President. In conversation with Capt.
Allen about Gen Jackson, on one occasion,
] asked him how he acquired the name Of
''Old Hickory ?'' / give his reply as well
as can remember, in his own words
During the campaign which included
the battle of Emucksaw Creek, the army
was moving rapidly to surprise the Indians,
and we were without tents In the mouth
Of March, cold cquinoxtial rain fell on Us,
mingled with slect, which lasted several
days. The General was exposed to the
weather and was suffering severely with a
bad cold and sore throat. At night we
bivouvackcd in muddy bottom; while it
was pouring down rain, which froze as it
fell. My brother John and |, finding that
he was very unwell, became uneasy about
him, although he did not complain, and
laid down upon his blanket by the camp
fire with his soldiers Seeing him wet to
the skin, stretched in the mud and water in
his suffering condition, we determined to
try and make him more comfortable.
1--WE cut down a stout hickory tree in
which the sap was rising, and pealed the
bal k from it in large flakes cut two forks
and Il pole, laid down a floor of bark and
dead leaves, and rooted it, and closed one
side, or rather one end of the structure,
against the wind with bark, and left the
other end open We then dried our blank
cts, and made him pallet in the tent we
had constructed Wewoke up the General,
and with some difficulty persuaded him to
crawl in With his saddle for pillow,
wrapped in our dry blankets, and his feet to
the fire, he slept snugly and soundly all
night, well casod in hickory bark.
The next morning, an old man from the
neigh borhOod came into camp with a jug OF
whiskey, with which. after imbibing quite
freely himself he gave us all treat az iaI
as the liquor would go. He seemed to be
kind hearted, joyial and patriotic old tel.
low; a sort Of privileged character i'll hi,
county. While staggering about among
the camp fires, full of fun and whiskey, he
blundered upon our little hickory bark tent
which Immediately arrested his attention
After cycling it for a moment he exclaimed

CHAH1EsToN.-A gentleman who
has been absent from Charleston for
the short time Of six weeks, returned
in the last steamer from New York.
On walking up East Bay, his first ex-
clamation was that Of surprise at wit
Messing the wonderful improvements
that had been made in that section of
the city during his temporary leave.
We assured him that the improve
nrents were not confined to any spe-
cial locality. On every street and
thoroughfare the marks of energy,
industry and enterprise were plainly
visible. East Bay, six weeks ago, was
almost barren of open business Places.
while now it is next to impossiblity
to rent a building1covered with roof.
Owners of buildings are actively en-
gagged repairing damages occasioned
by fire and water, and long before
the repairs are completed, applications
are received to occupy the premises.
The same holds good with Meeting,
King and other principal streets.
Ther> IS a great demand for stores
and warehouses; all over the city. In
order to meet this demand, it will be
necessary for some measures to be
taken towards restoring the burnt
district toa habitable condition. The
city cannot afford to allow that large
area for valuable space to remain in
ruins. Let the owners of the pro-
perty commence at once to put up
larger and commodious buildings,
and when completed, there will be no
need Of begging for occupants. The
rents in Charleston are incfcasing
daily, which is another evidence of
enhanced business activity. Stores,
which three months ago could be OBJ
tai:led for five hundred dollars per
annum, cannot now be had for less
than 81, 800 and $1,000 for the same
term. Let us continue in the good
work of city improvements

In A WHETCsIED CONDITIONAL
friend Of ours who has been working
for the Montgomery and West Point
Railroad, at the Six Mile Station, in
formed us the other day that no one
can conceive, without ocular demon
stration, of the wretchcd condition Of
the freedmen in the large camp
located around that station He thinks
their filth and wretchedness exceed
any picture gl"en him of thcil con-
dition while huddled and packed to-
gether in the bend opposite this city.
They were filthy enough and indolent
enough, in all conscience, when in n
state of slavery, with masters to look
after them and from motives Of hu-
manity and self-interest to compel
the1iANto observe some decencv and
cleanliness. Now, however, left to
themselves, instantaneously set free,
for which they had had no previous
preparation, and without any con-
straint, no wonder they are showing
out the real ''nigger, and Ieing with
the brute creation. We really feel
sorry for the poor, ignorant, filthy
creatures, and hope that the ''Fyeed-
mems Bureau will yet better their
condition. Our friend walked through
the camp, accompanied by several
freedmen" in ibis employ, all Of
whom expressed themselves dsgusted
with the sights, and said if that was
freedom they wanted none of it, in
the freedman camps at least.

The life of Ex-Governor Brown, of
Georgia, was threatened on his ar
rival at Knoxville, Tennessee, one
day last week, by some railroad en-
ployees, who charged that he had
issued an order last year for the hang
ing of every railroad person found in
the employment of the United States.
A similar scene, in more violent
form, was enacted on the arrival of
Governor Brown at Chattanooga.
The military interfered, protected the
Governor, and queAed the disturb
ance.

Dinner is said to be the most i'm
portant event of the day. A kings
cooks dinner memorandum has just
settled an important date. There is
conflict Of authority among the
chroniclers with regard to the exact
date of the battle of Cressy. No
means were known by which the
doubt could be solved; but it CHANGED
that the accounts of the kings kitch-
en- for that period have survived the
lapse OF time, in which the cook
claims to be reimbursed his charges
for preparing the royal dinner each
day. The cook has mentioned the
place where from day to day he per
formed his office, and thus the exact
day is learned on which Edward dined
at Cressy. There is but one such day,
which was undoubtedly that Of the
battle.

The HISTORY OF PEws.-In Anglo
Saxon and some of the Mormon
churches of early date, i stone bench

the East end. In 1917, they are rep
resented as sitting on the ground or
standing. About this time, people in
Produced low, rude, three-leggcd
stools promiscuously over the church.
Wooden seats were introduced soon
after the Norman conquest. In 1887,
decree was issued in regard to the
wrangEng for seats, so common that
none should call any seat in the
church his own, except noblemen and
patrons, each entering and holding
the one he first found. AS we ap-
proach the Reformation, from 1880 to
1910, seats were more appropriated,
the entrance being guarded by cross.
bars, and the initial letters engraved
o. them. Immediately after the Re

Paris papers have an anecdote of two
well known French actors who ira
veled this autumn in Scotland They
put up at u miserable inn for the
night, .fdutc lie aie,.c, where the use
of soap was clearly not the custom Of
that part OF the country, and the
sandy-headed walters hair was q
thing of ENHANCEMENT, and zoologi-
cally inclined. The evening dinner
was broughtin by this uncanny Scot,
and consisted of roast beef and plum
pudding. F. caught sight of the
waiter outside, with the dish in one
hand and brushing his hair with the
other over the beef, to present himself
in the most Ad9nis-like form. +.

and left D. to the full endowment of
the meat, believing what his eve had
not seen his heart would not grieve
about, and F. made his dinner en-

dined, went to smoke and speak to
the lanGlady. He found her in the
kitchen, but, coming suddenly upon
her, saw her snatch up cotton night

the pudding had been boiled in it
having nothing handler, and that i

tions ensued between T. and d., ant
one has not been able to keep tin
secret from his Partisan friends.

that the Northern Methodist bishops
who, twenty years ago, voted in favor

that their title to the same shall be
annullcd-in other words, that the
a question shall be re-opened and re-
gagitated.
