he structure, against the wind with
bark, and left the other open. We ther
dried our blankets, and made him pal
let in the tent we had constructed. We
woke up the old general, and with some
difficulty persuaded him to crawl in.
With his saddle for a pillow, wrapped
in our dry blankets, and his feet to the
fire, he slept snugly and soundly all
night, well cased in hickory bark.
''The next morning, an old man
from the neighborhood came into
camp with jug of whisky, with which,
after imbibing quite freely himself, he
gaveus all "a treat, as far as the liquor
would go. He seemed to be kind
hearted, jovial and patriotic old fellow:
a sort of privileged character in his
county. While staggering about among
the camp fires, full of fun and whisky,
he Numbered upon our little hickory
bark tent, which Immediately arrested
his attention. After. eyeingit for a mo-
ment, he exclaimed: what sort of an
outlandish Indian fxin' is this and
gave it kick, which tumbled down the
queer-looking structure, and complete
ly buried the old hero in the bark. As
he struggled out of the ruins. and look
ed fiercely around for the author of the
mischief, the old topper recognized him,
and exclaimed: Hello, Old Hickoryl
come out of your bark, and join us in
drink
"There was something so ludicrous
in the whole scene, that respect for
his presence and rank could not restrain
our merriment. He very good humor-
edly joined us in laughing at the mis-
hap. As he rose up, and shook the
bark from him, we all gave him a riUa
'Hurrah for Old Hickory This was
the first time he ever heard these words,
which were afterwards shouted by the
millions of his countrymen whenever
he appeared among them"
I will only add that Capt. William
Allen, of Davidson county, Tenn who
died at Pontotoc in 1887, was. distin-
guislled for courage, integrity and
strict veracity; and the above may be
regarded as a true account of the origin
of the nickname of General Andrew
Jackson.

luckily, the cause Of her agitation was
discovered--in the shape of a goose,

seat occupied by the lady, had, during
the voyage, amused itself by pecking
at her 'understap dings" The discov-

abilities should be recognized. He did " night u out
on that line and the reward Of fortitude is his az
last. The Times also pays a tribute to Generals
Sheridan and Lee. As regards the future, 1t says
that time only can solve the problem. Ii the South
now prove powerless and responding, the work OF
the North will be easy; but if we have now arrived
at the end. not of the war, but Of the FIRST stage OF
the political revolution. the real troubles OF the North
are just beginning.
The London Star considers the Richmond catas-
trophe as the end Of the Shareholders rebellion, but
thinks Davis and Lee may, however, attempt to car

sippi provinces.
