ANECDoTE OF GENERAL JAcKsoN.-Men
of the highest repute and of the incest
sense of honor get their notions of right
and wrong sadly confused under the temp
tation of the rsce-course. A more chiv-
alric, high toned, and gallant gentleman
than General jackson did not live among
his contemporaries. And yet story was
current in Tennessee some fifty years ago
whether 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
phraseology of sporting men. The story
ran in this wise:
The general became discontented with
mulatto boy, who bad been his favorite
rider, and sold him to a neighbor. who was
his great rival on the turf. Tue boy was
to ride in very important race against a
favorite horse of the generals. Jack
son had heavy bet pending on the race,
and be was overheard demonstrating with
his late rider.
You black rascal, mind what you are
about. None of your old tricks with me.
If catch you squirting your tobacco juice
in my boys eyes, Eli cut your heart
out ~
This may have been pure fabrication;
but if sharp practice on the turf had not
been the rule rather than the exception,
an anecdote of this description could not
have obtained currency as applied to Gen
eral Jockson
l have quoted it not as rejecting any
discrepid upon a man who stood above re-
proach among his neighbors, but as indica-
ton of the general moral tone which pre-
vailed among turfmen half century ago.
Whather there has been any great i'm
provement in that regard since that time
| shall not undertake to decide. That
the tendency of gaming of all kinds is to
lower the tone of public morals is prop
osition that few rejecting men will be
inclined to dispute.-AN OLD SrAGER, in
Harper's Magazine for June.

LIGHTNING RoDs.-Lightning rods should
consist of round iron of about one inch di-
ameter, and its parts, throughout the '. hole
length, should be in perfect metallic conti-
nuity by being secured together by coupling
ferules. To secure il from rust, the rod
should be coated with black paint, itself
good conductor it should termlnat, in a
single platinum point. The shorter and
more direct the course of the root to the
earth, the better. Bendings should be round
ed and not formed in acute angles. 1t should
be fastened to the building by iron eyes, and
may be insulated from these by cylinders Of
glass, the latter point, however, not being of
special Importance. The rod should be
placed, in preference, on the west side of the
building, and it should be connected with the
earth in manner SO that at least one or two
feet of the rod are imbedded

On the 28th of April there were leads of
open water around them, and they took to
their boat, working westward towards the
nearest land. In the afternoon they saw in
the distance the smoke of steamer, but the
weather became thick and they lost sight of
her. Next morning they saw her again, but
at considerable distance they set their
colors, hoisted black blanket on two oars,
and eagerly pushed towards her. All in
vain; the steamers crew did not see them,
and in the evening she disappeared. Hope
began to die within them. But next morn
iug, at 5 o'clock, the fog lighted, and 10,
within three miles Of them lay a large steam
er. Soon after they were seen, the steamer
bore down upon them, their suferings were
ended, and they were soon snug on board
the Tisress, where they met with every kind
ness and attention. They were picked up
near Grady harbor, in latitude So degrees.
Not one of them had been at all serIoasly
ill and when washed and their clothing
changed, no one could have told that they
had been fortnight at sea. Captain Tyson
preserved excellent discipline during the
whole perilous voyage, and all behaved re-
markably well.

recounted to them my own experience of
fortnight before, and, out of sheer SYM
pathy, escorted them two miles to a favor

equally plenty. at all seasons, and where
they were made happy by abundant sport.
