Another Version OF Handoiph,s Feat.

Anotner Ncrston Of HWndOiphss Rens
From The Maysyiilo (Ky.) Bulletin.
The Edgfe of Saturday contained
an article from an eye witness of the
indignity offered to General Jackson
by Robert b. Randolph, at Alexan.
dria, Va, In 1882, when tho old hern.
with Others, was ON his way to tile
tomb OF Martha Washington. AZ
TAR as the narrative purports to give
the incidents Of that exciting event,
IL Is in the main correct Some facts
are, however omitted. The writer of
this, though a mere youth at the
time, was present and witnessed tho
occurrence. Gen. Jackson and his
assailant were on opposite sides of
the table standing In the cabin of the
boat. Gen. Jackson struck yiror.
onsly at Randolph with an umbrella,
but missed him, aud Randolph inn
medlately fled, losing his hat as ho
escaped through the crowd. Az
Randolph left, an ardent and enthu-
siastic admirer of the cid hero, nameu
Thomas, who kept an oyster saloon
near the foot of Kings street, where
the boat landed, rushed forward and
exclaimed: "Gen. jackson, II you
will agree to pardon me, 1 will kill
the damed scoundrel ~ The Gener-
al pushing forward after his fleeing
adversary, replied: "Get out of the
way, | can fight my own battles.
Randolph got ashore bareheaded,
and made his way through tho town
to the residence of Roster Dulany,
on Shutters hill, where the fruitless
attempt to arrest him, as described
by the article In tho Eagle, was
made.
AS may be suspected, the ofllclous
ofierof tho saloon keeper. Thomas,
to kill Randolph II Gen. Jackson
would agree to pardon him, was se-
verely rldleuled by the press. Thorn
as became instantly notorious. RAN
dolph made his way to Richmond,
Va where he ehanced to meet Thom-
as a few weeks after the occurrence.
he greeted him cordially, Invited
him to an oyster house, and there
laughed over the event which had
made them both for several weeks
the subjects OF newspaper denuncla.
ton aud ridicule.
Randolph, in 1854, hesiegcd Con-
gress TO restore him to his rank In
the navy, or idemnify him for tho
allegedinjustice done by his dismissal
by Gen. Jackson. His offdrt failed,
and he died short time since In his
seventy-elgth year.

Once more Ida Lewis pushed Off foi

In the next winter scape, grace stole

mer than any Newport belle.
But the heroic story of which these
are the incidents suggests some very
improving reflections upon the sphere
OF woman. No one can read the re-
port In the newspapers, no one GER
| tainly read the brief tclegraphic no.
Tee upon the following morning,
without a thrill of admiration and
sympathy, But arc we TO under
stand that such emotion was natural
and proper? Are we to believe that
it is ''feminine'hfsr young women to
row boats in stormse Is 1t "woman-
ly" to tug and strain Arough tenn
pest, and then pull half drowned
men into skifF?
Now, speaking soberly, no man
will be such an--let us say donkey.
as to Insist that 1t was unfeminine in
Ida Lewis to pull Off In her boat 70
save men from drowning. 1t was nd
more unfemine than to sing babe
to sleep. And If this be 50, then II
was perfectly womanly to learn the
; use OF oars-to acquire the means oi
doing so great service to her fellow
creatures, a service which touches
the heart and the imagination, and,
as in the instance of Grace Darling,
will become a poetic tradition.
When we have come as far as this
there Ia certainly no need Of asking
whether such actions fall within the
sphere of woman, or whether they
are competent to row boats. Ida
Lewis has shown that she can row to
some purpose, can row indeed to
such purpose that every generous
heart applauds. This seems to settle
the whole vexatious question about
women. Indeed there is really nc
more question about women than
about men. And unless the whole
debate upon the subject of the rights
of men, which has shaken society
now for so many years, and often tc
such tremendous results, Is folly
that upon the rights of women car
hardly be smiled away.--Easy Chair

C0NSUMPTFOE.

The Three Remedies. "SCHENCH's PU1-
EONIC SYRUP" for the cure of Coughs,
Colds, Bronchitis, and every form of Con-
sumption. The peculiar action of this med
ieine ripens the ulcers in the lungs, pro-
notes the discharge of the corrupt matter
by expectOratiOn. Purlfies the blood. and
thus cures Consumption, when every other
remedy fails.
"SehencK's Bea-Weed Tonic" for the
cure of Dyspepsia or Indigestion, and all
diseases arising from debility. This tonic
tnvigOrates the digestive organs, supplies
the place of the gastric juice when that Is
deficient, and then enables the patient to
digest the most nutritious food. Tt is a
sovereign remedy for all cases OF tndiges-
ton.
"Schenck's Mandrake Pills" Que of tho
most valuable medicines ever discovered
being a vegetable substitute for caIomeI,
and having all the useful properties as
cribed to that mineral, without producing
any of its injurious effects.
To these three medicines DR.. j. II
Schenck, of Philadelphia, owes his un-
rivaled success In the Treatment of Pull
monte Consumption. The Pulmonic Syrup
ripens the morbid matter, discharges IT,
and purides the blood. The Mandrake
Pills act upon the liver, remove all OBJ
structions therefron, give the organ
healthy tone, and cure Liver Complaint,
which is one of the most prominent causes
of Consumption.
The Sea- Weed Tonic Invigorates the
powers of the stomach, and by strengthen
ing the digestion and bringing IL to a nor
NAL and healthy condition, improves the
quality of the blood, by which means the
formation of ulcers or tubercles In the
lungs becomes impossible. The combined
action of these medicines, as thus ex-
planned, W tcure every case of Consump-
ton, If the nedies are u cd in time and
the use of the is peTsevered in sufficient
ly TO bring the ca e to a favo-a bic term ma

Learn to Do Something.

YoUNa men learn to do something
Learn TO do some particular thing. Learn
TO acquire thorough knowledge of some
trade, business or profession.
A man come to maturity without hav-
ing learned the art of practicing some
particular employment is in a pitiable
position, no matter whether he possesses
money or not. If he be not among the
fortunate few favorites of Plutus he will
of course have to toll all the way up to
the summit of fortune as a common Ia
borer, an employment good enough as
long as one can do no better, but one we
should advise no active young man to
choose out Of the many. If a young man
has wealth, he certainly needsa knowledge
ofbusiness sufficient to enable to preserve
his wealth. Neither would trade injure
a rich young man. A little of the "bTown
and brawn," and steadiness of character
which labor induces would make him a
better, more reliable wielder of capital.
The time has passed when young men
of this country can neglect the task of
learning the details of an occupation with
impunity. When the country was new,
and population was thinly scattered over
the land-when there was plenty of room
and privileges were cheap-people could
find employment easily. Skilled labor
was scarce, and rough hewers were plenty.
Any one could become an artisan. Me.
chanics, especially in the West, sprang to
the journeymanS position in day.
But that is changing now. Population
is becoming more settled and dense.
Property increases rapidly in value. Men
are becoming rich, and desire more elegant
business houses, residences, carriages, and
artistic appliances Of civilization of all
kinds The people demand better public
edltces. Mechanics, artists, and all kinds
of skilled labor are ia demand. He will
win who has his trade best learned. The
man Of skill is always in demand. The
young man who would be sure of employ
ment ali the year round, in "hsrd times"
as well as In times Of prosperity, must
know how TO do something thoroughly.
1t is well 10 get an education. A
thorough educational discipline will make
you an ADLER man. But educate for alme
particular obiect.-RvrdI Meao Yorker.
