One visitor from Africa was
speedily followed by another. While
the needle lay in the docks, telling
its silent tale of the civilization of
Egypt thirty centuries ago, Mr..
Henry M. Stanley was receiving the
congratulations of his friends at the
Charing Cross station en- his safe re-
turn from his wanderings amongst
the uncivilized tribes upon the same
continent. Strange that upon the
same tract of land arts and learning
should flourish as far back as the
times of the Pharaohs, and that to-
day there should be savages roam
ing through its forests aud over its
deserts as brutal and as ignorant
as though the world were but a
thing of yesterday. Mr.. Stanley
and Lieutenant Cameron divide the
distinction of being the most en-
terprising and adventurous of mod
ern travellers who have explored
Africa in the name of geographical
science. DR.. Livingstone did not
sally forth so much in the cause of
geography as Of Christianity; he
was glad enough to make discove-
ries, but his first cause was the
propagation Of the gospel amongst
the heather. Lieutenant Cameron
came back and told us how by the
application of capital the luxuriant
soil of Africa might be made to
produce that which might make up
very material assistance in feeding
the populations of other lands.
Mr.. Stanley has gone through
perilS and hardships which have
made him a gray-haired man at
five aud-thirty, and under which
many Of those who set ont on the
expedition with him were compelled
to succumb. lie has penetrated to
the sources of mighty rivers, mas
tered the mysteries of boundless
lakes, and has returned with a store
Of information respecting an un-
known land which will make his
forthcoming volume the book of
the season, and will cause him to
be welcomed in London as brave
and intrepid man who for several
years, at the risk of his life, has
been clearing the way for the appli-
cation of science and of ciyiliza-
ton.

A London correspondent Of the
New York Times, claiming to get
his information from great Euro

will suddenly break up the

cram the channel with torpedoes,
Gil the inlet to each strait with tor

Russia to laugh at Austria, and be-
fore Queen Victoria can send an

a grip upon Turkey that the war

czar's favor. Such is the pro.
gramme of Russia, sketched by a
hand upon whatis claimed to be
good authority. Every move the
Muscoyites make indorses the truth
Of it; and the more strongly she
fixes herself the more clearly does
it dawn upon England that the
British government has been duped

ANDREW JACKS0N'S WIFE.
The Truth OF HisiOry-A Veterans

GreRt AnGi-Hulltier.

The Tguth OF HisfOry-A Veterans
ReIniscsn ces-EHrIy pays of the
Great AHtt-Eulltfier.
To the Editor of the st. Louis Times:
In looking over your issue Of
February 21st chanced to notice
an article headed General Jack
sons Wife," taken from the Denver
Tribune, which seems to have been
communicated by a gentleman
named Hopkins. There are per-
baps several versions of the old
Generals marriages, neither of
which, according to my knowledge,
has ever imputed any improper mo
tiyeS to tho old hero.
Without in the least doubling
what Hopkins seems to relate from
personal knowledge, and as any
thing relating to the General or his
estimable wife has a peculiar inter-
est, propose to give the version of
the Generals first acquaintance
with his wife, and his subsequent
marriages as handed down to the
world in Jack Reeds "Memoirs Of
Jackson" written shortly after the
battle of New Orleans; also some
oral traditions handed down to me
about both husband and wife.
Reed was secoud cousin of
mine, born, raised and educated in
Bedford county, Va. He emigrated
West, and ultimately became one
of Jackson's aids, and after the war
of 1912 wrote "Jackson's Memoirs"
from which he derived considerable
profit. Your correspondent, now
in his SEVENTEEN year, read it when
he was young and must now relate
from memory. From Reeds ao-
count, jackson first became ae-
quainted with his subsequent wife
at some races in Tennessee. The
acquaintance ripened into friend
ship, the friendship to marriage,
Jackson thinking his atiianced had
been divorced from her former hus-
band. Subsequent developments,
however, proved otherwise, and a
divorce having in the meantime
been obtained, a second marriage
took place. OF Jackson's devotion
to his wife have the oral testimony
of Robert Miller, of Halifax copn-
ty, Va, who acted as ovcrseer of
the Hermitage in Tennessee for
Jackson, and returned to Virginia
and settled there.
Mrs. Jackson's father, Donaldson, |
was before his removal west, county |
surveyor Of Pittsylyania county,
Va, according to oral testimony |
handed down to NE about forty
nine years ago by Ayory Musteen |
of that county, who was then an
old and esteemed citizen Of the |
county, Charles Henry Lynch, OF |
Campbell county, Va, grandson
Of Colonel Lynch (*), who com
manded regiment vt Tho battle Of
relates that Andrew Jack
son in his early days practiced law
in Pittsylvania county, and by way
of protecting his client on one 90
oaslon from remorseless execution
went to the clerk Of the court and
informed him that if he issued the
execution before a certain day it
would DO at the peril OF his life,
and by that means obtained a re-
spite for his client. SHANDs. /

family from whom Lynchbnrg derived it's

CLEOPATRA'S NEEDLES.

There is now lying in the river
Thames, and Immediately opposite
to our houses of parliament, the
great obelisk erected some five
thousand years ago at On, in the
land Of Egypt, and popularity known
as Cleopatra's Needle. It is one
Of the obelisks which stood on what
is believed to have been the site of
the C@sarium, a temple built at
Alexandria in honor of the Cesars
aboutltyenty-three years before the
birth Of Christ. Cleopatra is cele-
brated in history as the daughter
Of PtoIemy Athletes, king of Egypt,
who died in the year 81 B. G. BY
her fathers will she and her elder
brother were to reign jointly; but
soon disagreeing she fled for refuge
into Syria. When julius Caesar
came into Egypt in pursuit Of Pom,
pey she contriyed to secure his
favor, and was restored to her for
mer position. In all probability
it was at her suggestion that the
two obelisks which had remained
of those erected at On were re-
moved to Alexandria. and hence
they were called f" Cleopatra's
Needles" lht q i'0
When the English forces con-
quered Egypt in 1901, under Sir
Ralph Abercrombie, a subscription
was raised to bring this obelisk to
England, every man in the army
and navy contributing several days
pay to secure it; but it could not
be removed, In 1920, Mehomet
Ali, the ablest Of Egypfs rulers,
offered it to the British nation as
a token Of friendship; but the esti-
mated cost of removal was too
great. Last year one of orr much
respected citizens, DR.. Erasmus
Wilson, offered e1O, 900 to any one
who would bring it to London, and
Mr.. John Dixon, G. e., at once
accepted the offer and undertookto
pltce iton the bapksof the Thames.
He cased it in an iron cylinder fit-
ted up so as to float in safety and
just when we were in high expec.

arrival, storm came on in tie Bay
of Bisoay four Of the crew of the
Steamship which was towing the
needle, who had volunteered to 90
to the help of the men on board,
were lost, and the Cleopatra was
thrown off a helpless derelict. But
Mr., DiEon had confidence in the
craft, and his faith had its reward,
for she was picked up, towed into q
portof Spain and at length brought
to England,
The needle is a block Of nearly
sixty.eightfeet, tapering from seven
feet at tho baze to between four and
five feet at the top. Each Of the
four columns has Inscriptions oar
rying us back to tho earliest ages.
IT is q monumentof power, but it,
was not the power Of God. Egypt
had Its literature, but it has not
made Egypt great, Abraham,
Isaac, jacob and Moses may have
all seen this monument of mans
ambition aud folly; but while their
literature is ours now, Christianity
has been its outcome and great
and free people its highest maniies-
tation in the church OF Christ,
while idolatrous Egypt is still the
heme ef ef bondage.
