For years silence has hung over the
home of Andrew Jackson, II miles from
Nashville, Tenn. During the lifetime
of the old General it was the scene of
many great revel when thronged by
merry-hearted young people, whom he
loved to gather about him. Twenty
five years ago the only daughter Of
General Jackson's adopted son, Rachel
Jackson, was united in marriage to DR..
j. M. Lawrence, and on that aDniver-
sary they again went through the
marriage formula in the presence Of
their children and few other friends.
There is an interesting history con-
nected with the couple. In the meri-
dian of life Gen. Jackson found himself
without children and without hope of
any. His heart yearned for some child
to love, and who would in turn love
him. About this time the wife of Sew
ern Donelson, who was Mrs. Jackson IS
brother, gave birth to twin boys, and
one Of them was Immediately taken to
the Hermitage and christened Andrew
jackson. The other is Thomas Donnel-
son, at present resident of Phiadel-
phia. This child grew up at the Her.
mitage, and was the only claimant tc
the name Of Andrew Jackson, and the
only heir of the Hermitage estates. In
course of time other nephews were
taken and provided for, but no Others
were ever given the right to call them.
selves Andrew jackson. Three of these
other nephews, and one about whom
there has been conflict Of identity
with Andrew Jackson, Jr., was Andrew
Jackson Donelson, for years prlyat,
secretary to President jackson, ant
whose wife was lady of the Whit,
House during his administration.

GOunod's "SOn,"

A short time ago young man pre-
sented himself to Alfred Delilia, Secre-
tary of the Folies Dramatiques. He
was a blonde, with large, dreamy eyes,
and, introducing himself as the son of
Gounod, the composer, asked him for a
box for the evening. Delilia very
agreeably gave him one; the visitor
was prodigal of his thanks, and just as
he was about to withdraw there enter
ed jeweler of the neigborhood. The
usual introductions were made, and the
jeweler and Gounod's son left the
theatre together.
"How lucky I met you'll" said the
great composers offspring; al was just
thinking of making few purchases in
your line."
"Oh, you have Marguerite, have
your" said the tradesman, with sly dig
in the ribs.
"Well," said the young man, blush
ing, "human flesh and blood is not
made of wood, and l was thinking of
singing the jewel song to her."
"How lucky that | met you, then,"
said the jeweler; "come round to my
shop! 1t is only STEP"
So they went, and young M. Gounod
selected a necklace and bracelet worth
6 900 francs, and flattered the tradesman
beyond measure by presenting him
with the box he had just got from "my
friend, Delilia," and the further pro-
mise of box at the first performance of
fathers long-expected new opera,
''Polyeucte." Indeed, at the honest
jewelers. pressing request, the young
man sat down al the piano in the back
shop and sang very nicely can air from
"Polyeucte.'
Next day the jeweler could not, in
his just pride, neglected to inform his
neighbors that he had made customer
of the son of the eminent author of
"Faust" and "Cinq-Mars;" that from
him he received box at the Follies ;
that, indeed, he had been the exclusive
auditor of an air from the great new
opera. He hummed the air.
"Hello!" I" said one Of the bystanders.
w've heard that before!"
"You can't have" said the jeweler
'ft's from 'Polyeucte, and 'Polyeucte
won't be brought out before the Expo
sition in May"
don't care when 'Polyeucte' Is to be
brought out" said the neighbor, "tha'
air is In Myerbeer's 'Africaine' and you
can hear 1t any night in the week down
at the Opera"
The jeweler turned pale. "Then Pvt
been swindled," he gasped.
He had. M. Gounod fills had flown
with the jewels and pawned them tc
another jeweler for quarter of theiI
value.

that bore TO the mountains the tale of
sorrow, how the farm was mortgaged ;
how the oldest girl had died, and the
wall, the coaxing wall of that sentence
that had crossed the Rocky Mountains
SO often, "come back, come back, what
is wealth, while our young lives are
passing awayp" Then there was the
caution of loving wife to a rambling
devll-may- care husband. The letter
was dated 1850, and upon inquiry | found
that it was the last letter the old man
got.
"But know she's all right an the
boys are grown men now, an won't
they be glad to see their old dad agin,
eh?"
The old mountaineer wiped his eyes
and coughed lump or two that was
swelling up his throat. He walked
away toward the depot to turn his face
toward the East to where his day
dreams had centered for thirty years.
rwenty-eight years since he had heard
from home, and now his heart is as
light on his journey home, as though
time stood still since 1850 and the old
landmarks ofhis childhood hal not been
swept away by time and civilization.
Cities have sprung up around the old
mans stamping ground, railroad fol-
lows his trail across the continent; he
himself has helped start graveyards,
and yet, so full is his poor, foolish old
heart of home, wife and young ones,
that there is not room for the thought
that the graveyard, In which he played
when boy, has ever grown with time,
or that the little mounds round which
the SHOWS are drifting, may contain the
last of her who In the fullness of her
heart called to him, years ago, to come
back.
o yes, he is going home and his heart
Is glad; but it is sad to think of that old
mans feelings as he steps once more on
the threshold of his youth and finds for
the first time that his feet have long
since outgrown the footprints of his
childhood's days, and realizes that he Is
alone,

YOUTH.

What dol care for beauty's palmi
What do care for wreath or fsmsi
wha do l care for the worlds app ausef
What do care for an empty manner
For beauty means love, and love means paini
And alth is a thorn in the pillow Of sleep.
Fame, it is triumph for one mad hour,
And then the victim is left to weep
Oh. / fling them away with disdAnful hands
laugh them 10 scorn in my glowing youth!
What do ! care for your gl'tterng pate
When l have the jewel Of price, forsooth
Hug 4 these things 10 your withered heart
Ali Of the worlds alluring bands;
But give me youth-my granl sweet youths

Between nine and ten O'Clock on Tues
day evening last, the bell on City Hall
commenced, and continued to ring till
large number of the citizens of town had
collected about the Hall to hear what was
the cause of this mysterious ringing of
the bell, when the outery few with light
ming speed, ''Lost Boy! Mike Flinn's
little boy is lost" The boy had disap-
peared in the afternoon, and fears were
entertained that some fatal accident had
happened the little fellow. Dilligent
search had been made for him along the
railroad tracks and other places where
danger might be eapprehended, from five
o'clock until near ten, but no traces of the
lost boy could be found, when, just as ar
rangements were being made to prosecute
further and more minute search, the glad
news was shouted out that the boy was
found. The little fellow, weary with his
days ramblings, had lain down about 20
feet from the parental abode, where he
was found closely locked up in the sweet
embraces of Morpheus.

Special Correspondence Of the Herald.
Mr.. Z. Turnepseed now resides near
Bloominghurg.
Mr.. Frank NJ. Guthrie has returned
from the East.
Some think if the. weather continues
warm that the pestilent house-fiy will be
very numerous this summer and fall.
1t is an acknowledged fact that the av-
erage Congressman is paid, not for his
craftsmanship, but that he may get back
the money he spent to elect himself.
Everybody attend the Social Circle to
be entertained at the residence of Mrs. J.
Garlinger, tomorrow evening. Ice-eream
and cake will be served.
There were probably between fifteen
and twenty hundred people at the grand
4th of July celebration, held at the NJ. P.
camp-grounds. There were many excel
lent singers present and host of good
speakers. The Sabina brass band honored
the occasion with their presence and good
music. Mr.. W. A. Morris was the orator
of the day
The match base ball game announced
to be played between the Champions and
Clippers did not take place, but will, we
are informed, be played next Saturday
at 80 p. M, near the camp grounds, The
| Clippers make, a very fine appearance in
the field, as they have new suits. All are
invited to come out and see the Champi-
ons beat. ~
A great many persons in this vicinity
| are of the opinion that the voting here
after will be e1parte III favor of the party
that now has minority, both in Congress
and in our State Legislature. The manful
way in which the majority of the present
members of these bodies have succeeded
in making themselves laughing stock fol
the public, and to appear as nonsensical
in the minds of true citizens of this, as
well as other countries. The great
amount of time Congress spent in med
ding with business long since settled and
rightly settled; the repeating of laws
| which the welfare of our country de
mands, and the enactment of many a
which our own little ssLegislature'' helt
in this place last winter would have
''snorted, }" are among the many reasons
they have for SO believing. The Repub
lieans in the next State'canvass intend t.
put into the foreground, not the ffnancia
question nor the bloody shirt, but the baC
record of the existing Congress.
