possess an air Of elegance that it is impossible

accessories of the toilet in the way of ties,
laces, gew gaws and fineries, cannot bestow
the appearance Of refinement, or produce the

AvrcDorE OF arxEnA1 JACKSON.


Men Of the highest repute and of the incest
sense of honor get their notions Of right and
wrong sadly confused under the temptations of
the race course. A more chivalric, heightened
and gallant gentleman than G,nsral Jackson
did not live among his contemporaries. And
yet story was current in Tennessee some
fifty years ago--whethert true or false am not
able to say-which goes to show that even he
was shrewdly suspected of playing his game
with the advantages, in the dainty phrase
ology of sporting men. The story ran in this
wise:
The general became disconnected with a
mulatto boy, who had been his favorite rider,
and sold him to a neighbor, who was his great
rival ON the turf. The boy was to ride in a
very important rec against a favorite horse
Of the Generals. jackson had a heavy bet
pending ON the race, and he was overheard re-
monstratiug with his late rider ssYou black

credit upon man who stood above reproach

general moral tone which p Q allied among

has been any great improvement in that re-
