that of an animal than man. Education
has advanced him but little beyond the
position which he occupied in the days of
William the Norman. The farm laborer
has scarcely participated at all in the i'm
provement Of HE brethren. As he was
generations gone by he is nova physical
scandal, a moral enigma, an Intellectual
cataleptic." The average age at which the
peasant children attend the primary school
is constantly sinking. Most of them leave
school to begin their long and weary life of
drudgery at nine years of age. They leave
it with a laundering knowledge of reading
and writing. "Many of them are instruct
ed by poor, ignorant women, who just
know how to read, write and cipher" AS
a matter of fact, large majority of the
English peasantry do not read or write.
This is how it happened down in South
western Missouri:
He found rope and picked 1t up,
a nd with il walked away;
1t happened that t'uther end
a horse was hitched, they say.
They found tree and tied the rope
Unto n ssingipg limb;
1t happened that the other end
Was somehow hitched to him.

Pulling Gen. JacksOn's Nose.

In May, 1888, the cornerstone of the
yet unfinished monument to Mary. the
mother of Washington, was laid at
Fredericksburg, Va. Gen. jackson was
to officiate on the occasion, and on the
morning of the day appointed he en-
barked on the steamer Sidney, in com
pany with a large number of distir-
guished guests, including the members
of the Cabinet.
The boat stopped at Alexandria to re-
celve additional passengers, and among
those who came on board was r. B.
Randolph, who had been Lieutenant
IN the navy, but who had been dis
missed by Gen. Jackson for some al
legged offense, of which Randolph
claimed (truthfully, we now believe, } to
be innocent.
Randolph made his way into the
cabin, where the President was sitting
reading a newspaper, and advanced as
IT to address him, turning to draw his
glove. The President, not knowing
who his visitor was, but supposed it was
some person going to salute him, and
perceiving his difficulty in getting of
IL
ing. Never mind your glove, sir"
But Randolph had freed himself of
it, however, and thrusting his hand in
Jackson's face, he exclaimed, "I came
here to pull your nose, and, with the
words, he tweaked the Presidents nasal
organ.
A Mr.. S. Chelsey Potter, clerk in
one of the department, saw the action,
and struck Mr.. Randolph a violent
blow, which staggered him at the
same instant two gentlemen IN the
cabin seized him, and he was borne
down.
At the moment of assault Jackson
seized his heavy walking-stick, which
was lying on the table beside him, and
rushed upon Randolph, who was held to
to the floor, surrounded by his captors,
and endeavored to force his way to the
PROSTATE man, declaring with much
profanity that no man should stand be-
tween him and the villain who had as
saulted him.
The crowd on the boat had now
learned of the outrage, and made rush
for the assailant with the avowed inten-
ton of taking his life. To save him
from their fury he was quickly borne
from the cabin and placed on shore.
He stayed for few minutes in Alexan-
dria, called for drink at one of the
hotels, and then went over into Virginia
beyond the limits of the District and
escaped.
The grand jury soon found bill
against him, but he was never arrested,
as he did not return to Washington IN
til Jackson had left for the Hermitage.
