STRANGE AND SINGULAR STORY, IF TRUE.
Some time in 1863 or 1864 body of
Federal cavalry passed near the residence
of DR.. j. G. Pinkston, of William coun-
ty, about six miles west of Franklin,
Tenn. DR.. Pinkston was at that time
assistant surgeon in the Confederate army
and on duty. His little son, aged about
eleven years, and his only child, by some
means was induced to run off with the
Federal cavalry, and nothing more could
be heard of his whereabouts.
When the war closed Dr. Pinkston adj
vertised in various papers throughout the
country, employed detectives, and used
every means of inquiry; but all to no pur-
pose. He had almost arrived at the mel
ancholy conclusion that his boy was lost to
him forever, when only few days ago, he
received letter from him dated at Belfast,
Ireland, which stated that he was a mem
Der of the Eighty seventh regiment of in
fantry of Her Britannia Majesty's army,
and member OF the garrison stationed in
that city. He signifed his extreme anxi-

rambles; that be served as soldier in the
United States cavalry. afterwards three
years in the United States navy, aud
finally landed in England, where he had
enlisted in his present command Con-
sidering his extreme youth, his life has
been varied and eventful one DR..
pinkston, overjoyed at the glad tidings
started for Washington, where be will seek
the interposition of the authorities to aid
in securing his sons discharge, after
which he will sail for Ireland and bring

Old Hickory.

Col. j. w. Foruey tells the following
good story of Old Hickory:
At one of these dinners l heard Old
Buck repeat his story of General jackson,
probably for the hundredih time.
Shortly after Mr.. Buchanans return
from Russia in 1884. to which be had boon
sent by President Jackson 10 1892, and
Immediately following his election to the
Senate of the United States by the Legis-
lature of Pennsylvania, to fill the unex-
pired term of William Wilkins, resigned,
who, in his turn, was sent to succeed
Buchanan in the same foreign mission,
Buchanan called upon Old Hickory with
fair Euglish lady, whom he desired to pre-
sent to the head of the American nation.
Leaving her in the recepton-room down
stairs, he assembled to the Presidents pri-
vate quarters, and found General Jackson
unshaved, unkempt, 10 his dressing-gown,
with his slippered feet on the fender before
blazing wood-fre, smoking a corn-cob
pipe of the old Southern school. He
stated his object, when the General said he
would be very glad to meet the handsome
acquaintance of the new bachelor Senator.
personal appearance, and in some respects,
was sort Of masculine Miss Fribble, ad-
dicted to spotless cravats and huge collars ;
rather proud of small foot for a man of
his large statue, and to the last of his life,
what the ladies would call "a very good
figure"
Having just returned from visit to the
fashionable continental circles, after two
years of thorough intercourse with the ETH
quette of one of the stateiest courts in Eu-
rope, he was somewhat shocked at the idea
of the President meeting the eminent En-
glish lady in such guise, and ventured to
ask if he did not intend to change his at
tire, whereupon the old warrior rose, with
his long pipe in his hand, and deliberately
knocking the ashes out of the bowl, said
to his friend: Buchanan, want to give
you little piece of advice, which l hope
you will remember knew man once
who made his fortune by attending to his
own business. Tell the lady / will see her
presently"
The man who became President in 1856
was fond of saying that this remark of
Andrew jackson humiliated him more
than any rebuke he had ever received. He
walked down stairs to meet his fair charge,
and in very short time President jackson
entered the room, dressed in full suit of
black, clearly shaved, with his stubborn
white hair forced back from bis remarka-
BILE face, and advancing to the. beautiful
Britisher, saluted her with almost kindly
grace. AS she left the White House she
exclaimed to her escort, "Your republican
President is the royal model of a gentle
man."

with regret that we announce the depar-
ture from our midst of Mr.. James E..
Hanger, who goes to Richmond to enter
upon the fulfillment Of his contract with
the State to furnish artificial legs for those
of the Confederate soldiers who were so
unfortunate as to lose limb during the
late war. James w. Wilson, who is full
partner with Mr.. Hanger in the contract,
will follow Mr.. II. in few days. Each
of these gentlemen lost leg himself, and
it is BETTING that they should be chosen to
furnish those with substitute who are
partners with them in misfortune. They
are both perfect gentlemen, and what is
Staunton's loss will be Richmond's gain.
