ANDREW JACKSON

when recalled. H
ANDREW JACKSON. ~
1t was during the business depression Of
the winter Of 1894, tha, an attempt Was
made to assassiuate President jackson, by q
young house-painter. The young man fur.
nished himself with two well loaded pistols
upon the eastern portco of the Capitol, in q
funeral procession, he leveled one Of them at
the breast of Jackson. The percussion cap
exploded, but did not ignite the powder
The assassin dropped the unfaithIul weapon,
and instantly presented the other, with the
same result. Uaawed by the danger, the
President rushed upou the culprit with his
uplifted cane, and he was soon secured. The
failure of the pistols was remarked as spe-
cial interposition Of kind Providence
They were fired without difficulty at the
next trial, and each sen. it's bullet through an
inch board at distance of thirty feet.
A few months before this occurrence, the
President wrs attacked by cowardly rufian
while he was Oh his way to Fredericksburg
| to lay the corner stone of monument to be
erected in memory Of the mother of Wash
ington. While the boat, which bore the
President and large compony of ofdistinguish
| ed persons down the Potomac, was laying at
the wharf at Alexandra, the President and
large company of distinguished persons
down the Potomac. was laying at the wharf
cabin and sat behind the table, next to the
berths, quietly smoking and reading. A
lieutenant, recently dismissed from the navy
| for improper conduct. approached the Pres
ident as il to give him friendly salutation,
but instantly struck the venerable man in
the face. Before be could repeat the blow,
he was seized by the captain. So snxious
were oil present to ascertain whether Jack
son was injured, that the friends of the ruffian
were allowed to carry him ashore and effect
his escape. "Had been apprised," said the
President, that Randolph stood before me,
should haze been prepared for him, and |
cnCld have defended myself No villain has
ever escaped me before; and he would not,
had 1t not been for my confined situaiion."--
| A lew minutes afterward, when a citizen Of
Alexandria said to :he hero, "Sir if you will
pardon me, in case am tired and convicted
will kill Rannolph, for his insult to you, in
fifteen minutes )" the Presidedt instantly
replied, mo, Sir cannot do that"
Another attack Was made upon Jackson's
life BY sending him an explosive trunk with
the request thar he should open it himself
Jackson said, he had no friends so kind as
that, and ordered it opened from below, when
it was found TO contain an explosive machine

An attempt was made to kill Mr.. Pierce
by spikipg rails across the track, killing his
child aud injurins his wife.
