Old Hiokory's Wife.

A correspondent of the Chicago Inter
Ocean, writing of visit to the old home
of Andrew Jackson, says: 'It was law
of Tennessee, in early days, that man
could be divorced from his wife only by
two successive acts of the Legislature,
and it took two sessions of the body to
accomplish the feat. Application for
divorce was made personally before the
Legislature, and it was decided by
vote whether the cause should be heard
or not at the next session. If the decis-
ion was favorable, the case was investi-
gated by a committee, who reported at
the next session favorable or otherwise,
according to the evidence, and the de-
cree of divorce was granted or refused,
as the case might be. Mrs. Jackson's
first husband was miserable scamp
named Robards. She left him and in
dueed him to apply to the Legislature
for divorce. He did so, and she, sup
posing the decree granted, after a year
or more married Andrew Jackson. At
ter a while it was discovered that Rob
ards had not taken the case to the Leg
islature for second bearing, and de-
cree had not been granted; although
Jackson had been living with Mrs. Rob
ards two years as his wife. But a di-

Mrs. Jackson remarked according to
law. This innocent transgression of
the laws of society and the State was
the skeleton in the closet at the Her
mitage. This led to the death of Dick
inson, and was the cause of nearly all of
the seventeen duels in which Jackson
was engaged. He would allow no man
to reproach his wife for unchastity; and
she, it seems, was quite as sensitive. In
his campaign for the Presidency, this
scandal was revived, and there is no
doubt it shortened her life. The asper-
sions on her character crushed her; that
she, who had been chaste, faithful wife
for thirty-seven years, the guide, the
leader, and the ornament of a religious
circle, should be dragged into the pub
lie prints and held up to the contempt
of nation as an adulteress, was more
than she could endure. She died of
heart disease. Said one of her friends,
Her heart was broken; it was clear
case of broken heart The allusion to
this matter in her epitaph is very deli
cate and tender"

A WASTED PowER.-There are, in
round numbers, 33,O0O,0OO cows, oxen,
horses, and the like, in the United
States, says an exchange, which, for
about ten hours day during f1y-time,
keep their tails in almost constant mo-
tion. 1t is no exaggeration To estimate
that they swing them at least ten times
a minute, with force equal at each
swing to raising one pound foot That
is, their tail force is ten pounds minute,
so $500 cattle would exert with their
tails one horse power, and all these
creatures in the country would put upon
the fly the aggregate force of 100000
horse power. Now, the entire force OF
all the steam engines and water wheels
in the country used in manufacture OF
steam engines and boilers is less than
100000 horse power. That is, the
force wasted by our domestic animals,
in waving their tails to keep the fly
away, is almost sufficient, ifrightly ap-
piled, to move all the motive machinery
in the land.

KINDNESS REwARDED.-Kind al
ways pays. 1t may not make regular
semi-annual dividends, but kind words
and kind actions are sure to turn up
something some day for the giver. This
fact was illustrated in Detroit not long
ago, when gentleman had dog stolen.
The animal was returned to him by a
colored man whom he had once assisted,
and half a dollar changed hands. In
the course of three or four days the ami
NAL was stolen again, and again he was
returned by the same man. Another
fifty cent shin-plaster was charged to
"profit and dog" and it was not until
the canine was returned the third time
by the same man that suspicion was
aroused.
"See here, George, isn't this rather
singular ?" asked the owner.
"I dunno" answered the colored man.
"Well, think so-very singular"
'I tell you what, boss" said the vic
tim of suspicion, "you was mighty kind
to me once, and hain't forgot it. Dis
isn't singular quite yet, but if you pay
me anodder fifty cents and dat dog is
missing again dis year, it'll be powerful
singular, and rll find him and not
charge centn

Thewfite reflection OF the sIoop's great sail
sleeps trembling ON the tide;
In scarlet shirts her crew lean o'er the rail,
LoungiRg on either side.
Pale blue and streaked with pearl the waters
And glitter in the heat;
The distance gathers purple bloom where sky
And glittering coast-line meet
From the cove's curving rim Of sandy gray
The ebbing tide has drained,
Where mournful in the dusk of yesterday
The curleW's voice complained.
Half lost in hot mirage the sails afar
Lie dreaming, still and white;
No wave breaks, no wind breathes, the peace
90 mar.
Summer is at its height
How many thousand summers thus have shone
Across the ocean waste,
Passing in swift succession one by one,
By the fierce winter chased!
The gray rocks blushing soft at dawn and eve,
The green leaves at their feet,
The dreaming sails, the crying birds that grieve,
Ever themselves repeat.
And yet how dear and how forever fair
Is Natures friendly face,
And how forever new and sweet and rare
Each old familiar grace -s.-...
What matters it that she will sing and smile
When we are dead and still?
Let us be happy in her beauty while
-Our hearts have powerto thrill.
Let us rejoice in every moment bright;
Grateful that life is ours;
Bask in her smiles with ever fresh delight,
And gather all her flowers;
For presently we part; what will avail
Her rosy fires of dawn,
Her noontide pomps, to us, who fade and fail
Our hands from hers Withdrawn?

last Tuesday, a week. That is, Shee-
han ran the train, and We vamped into
the caboose ready to help her in case
she needed our timely assistance The
train was a little late owing to our
watch having run down the night be-
fore. We reached Wausau about three
inches of nine by the steam Indicator
on the engine, and Immediately we
took the evening boat for the Paradis
House. Day boats leave the depot for
town on the arrival of every train, but
we chose a night boat not caring par
ticularly for the scenery. The water
at Wausau last Thursday was up to
the pocket in female book agent 5
dress, and rising. We booked at Par
ads and dreampt of Paradise Lost,
and Noah's food, all night while a
loud large voice kept asking US
What are the wild waves saying?
and we responded in a regular Metho-
dist snore-We don't Noah nor we
don't care-ah, for we were as tired as
was the poor dove who, like we, had

Saturday evening the exercises of the
society we're truly good. The music
was excellently rendered by Miss
Crawford and others. A defamation
by c. T. Purdy was well spoken, but
had he taken the rostrum We think
it would have been somewhat more
satisfactory to certain portions of the
audience. We would suggest that 1t
would be much better for the speaker
and certainly to the audience. if all
would while speaking, stand on the
platform. The dialogue by three of
our Misses was good, representing
very clear the true nature of woman,
especially at the present day, showing
the ingredients of woman to be ga lit
tie brains, and very little common
sense The debate was very lively
and earnestly discussed by Messrs.
Nash, Cochran, HaydeA, Stewart,
Witter, Clarke and others.
Next Saturday evening, with the
exception of the leaders, the question
will be debated by the ladies. A good
time is anticipated. The following
