The Attempt to Assass1nate Presi-
dent jackson.

Few persons remember The mad attempt OF
Richard Lawrence to shoot President jack
son. 1t occurred Oh January 3, 1885. On
the day the two houses of Congress convened
for the obsequies of w. r. Davis, a represent
tative from South Carolina, then recently de-
ceased. President jackson and the heads of
departments were in attendance. After a
discourse by the chaplain of the house, a flu
neral procession was formed, in which the
President walked arm in arm with the secre-
tary of the treasury, Levi Woodbury.. The
procession left the hall Of the house of repre-
sentatives and was passing through the ro-
tanda, on the way to the eastern portico;
when Lawrence, as soon as he saw the Presi-
dent approach stepped forward from the crowd,
advanced to within a few feet of him, drew a
pistol, aimed it at the President and pulled
the trigger. The cap missed fire. Secretary
Woodbury. and others sprang to arrest him
he, however, had time to draw another pistol,
but his second attempt to shoot was equally
unsuccessful. He was thrown down, dis
armed and secured.
In taking aim he stood so near the Presi-
dent that the latter instinctively started for
ward to strike the pistol aside with his cane u;
so that, had not the caps failed, there is every
probability that a dangerous, if not a fatal
shot, would have been given. The trial Of
Lawrence was postponed until April, appa
rently to allow time for searching his antece-
dents and to investigate his mental condition.
Both the evidence aud Lawrence's demeanor
in the court room satisfied the public at the
time that the shooting was the act of a luna
tic. He had for ZONE time believed himself
to be king of the United States, and jackson
to be all intruder and usurper. In the court
room, his behavior was so wild and disorder
ly that his counsel begged that he might be
removed and the trial to proceed without
him. No wonder for when the district at
torney commenced speaking, Lawrence start
ed up, wildly exclaiming 'What means this
personal indIgnity? Is it decreed that l am
to be brought here? And for what? l de.
sire to know if l, who claim the crown Of the
United States, likewise the crown of Great
Britain, and who am superior to this court
Am to be treated thus ?" And the proceed
ings were frequently broken by like Interrupt.
tions. As the jury agreed with the medica
men, that he was an irresponsible monoma
MAC, he was committed to an asylum.

JOHN w. MACKEY.
His Movements and What He Says
About the Garfield Fund.

NEW Yoi.K, July 14.-The Sun says: John
w. Mackey, of Nevada, sailed for Havre yes.
terday in the steamer st. Laurent. He in
tends to remain in Europe until October, and
upon his return will make a trip through
Mexico. His wife has made her home in
Paris, and the gorgeousness of her entertain
ments is the talk of the continent. Her hard
working aud genial husband is known as one
of the most Liberal of men.
1t seems that the person who boosted so
loudly that he would raise $25O,0OO in the
%twlnkling Of an eye, as a gift to the Presi-
dents wife, thought it merely necessary to
write to Mackey for the sum. Mackey re-
ceived the note in this city on Tuesday. He
read it several times and said he was dis
pleased with its tone. He thought a proper
sense of politeness would have decided the
writer to call upon him i'll person. He knew,
of course, that a large sum was expected from
him. After deiiberating, he decided to do
what he has seldom done III such cases, to re-
fuse. He caused an answer to be written to
the effect that the occasion did not require
that he should contribute anything, but in the
event of the Presidents death, "A calamity
which he sincerely hope would not take
place, he would be found in the front rank q

The Comet Of 1912.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, July 16.-Dr. Lewis

tie of Ann Arbor, Michigan, announcing he
has discovered nebulous matter in r. A. 5,
H. AZ, NJ. declination on 3s degrees 4S NJ, but
daylight obscured its identity. DR.. Swift
this morning reported he had discovered the
matter in constellation Auriga, and it is quite
bright, being larger and more luminous than
the one discovered May LIST by DR.. Swift. Its
centre is strongly condensed, and from its
motion apparently very slowly. 1t mo be
ascsrtained if it is going directly towards OF
from the earth. The comet is telescope.
This is the fourth comet discovered since
May LIST. DIR. Swift thinks from the presen;
position Of the comet it is the expected com,
ct of 1912. 1t is moving very slowly toward
the northwest. Schoeberte pits in q claim
for the 5000 Warner prize.

The New and Old Version

From the Mount Pleasant Reporter.
A middle-aged married man of our city
thought he would trim the trees in his garden
last Sunday, on the sly, but while he was
saving off a limb, his wife watching him
from the window, and telling him to walt till
tomorrow, a good lady came along on her
way to church, and seeing him at work on
the Sabbath day was very much shocked.
She called to him and wanted to know :
ments ?" 40, yes, hundreds of times
know 'em by heart, every one of 'em, and l
know l have broken the seventh command
ment three Or four times to-day. and expect
to break it as many times more before the
sur sets. for these trees and bushes have to
be trimmed, and I'm in business from sun up
to sun down on week days, and ALL too poor
to hire it DONE" The lady started on home
without saying another word and his wife
roared out laughing, and he couldn't for the
life of him tell what was the matter until hi
wife gave him the ten commandments ic
read. He did so, and then wanted to know
where in thunder she got the newly transla
ted Bible. at 10 not the new Bible you art
reading, but it is the old one, and Mrs. -
knows the ten commandments as we'll a
your A. B. C's. Now what do you suppos,
she will think Of you ?" He studied for
minute. "Well, I'm as innocent as a lamb,
am. be gosh but confound the seventh com
mandment, anyway, that's all I've got to say
and l know very we'll the numbers have beef
changed" The subject was dropped, but h
knows one of the commandments now, yo'
bet.

Mrs. Brigham Young No. 10.

Mrs. Ann Eliza Young, formerly
one of Brigham Young's wives, lectur-
ed on Mormonism, at the Opera House,
last Saturday evening. The ladys adj.
dress was very pleasing, entertaining
and instructive. She is fluent and
rapid speaker, and although afflicted
with cold, her words were spoken
distinctly and clearly, and her argyll
ments were forcible and to the point.
Judging her by her remarks, Mrs
Young has no love, veneration or re.
spect for Mormonism. She regards it
and she certainly is well qualified Ia
Judge, as disgrace to America; as
humiliating and degrading to the wom-
en- of Utah; as destroying home and
family influences, and a breeder of
shame, crime, superstition, vice, ignor-
ance, misery and suffering.
The lecturer gave short history OF
Mormonsm, of the evil deeds it had
done and was still doing; of its muir.
ders and massacres; of its hostility tc
the Union and civilization, and its
ficndish hopes and expectations. She
believed the course pursued by the
United States government had been
injurious that the government ought
to have put down Mormonism with O
strong hand and not allowed it to be 6
curse, shame, and disgrace to the
country. She spoke of the Mormon
literature, schools, theology, and many
other matters, interspersing her re-
marks with occasional pungent and hui
morous sayings.
The picture of Mormonism, as paint
ed by Mrs. Young, is an hidious one
and we believe that her statements will
stand the light of truth, for Mormon
ism is one of the great moral sores thai
afflict and blemish this nation.
Mrs. Young has no doubts in hei
mind as to what should be done to
wards Mormonism--it should be abol
ished in its present shape, and she had
no hesitation in saying that polygamy
should be put an end TO.
The lecturer had very little to say
regarding her personal experiences in
Salt Lake city-her remarks, Saturday
evening, being on the subject of Nor
monism generally. She, however, gave
few "reminiscences to illustrate hel
lecture. Among other remarks, she
stated what an agreeable surprise il
was to her, after she had escaped from
Brigham Young, and got among the
Americans, to see the respect with
which husbands treated their wives,

The Races.

The races given by the Driving Park
Association, at the driving park, on
Thursday last, although not very large
~ attended, were in the main success
full. The day was cloudy, and rain
threatened in the afternoon, which no
doubt had tendency to keep many
away. There were four entries for the
$3.50 race, and they were, with positions
rs follows: w. L. Churrhill's Jim
Watson, Il. Rayburn's Flora, ]. T.
Bostwick's Parcpa Rosa, and w. H.
Halls Bewick. This race was an ex-
citing one, and was witnessed with
great interest. The purse for the race
was 800. being divided for first. second,
third and fourth into $50, s25, SIS,
and SO respectively:
