| Yot-SC AMERICA. - German journal.
\ speak of remarkable young American by
the name OF Richard NJ. Jackson, native
| of Ohio, who has become favorlte OF the
King of wurtenburg. He first stud
| led music az the Stuttgart Conservatory
| and later became attached TO the German
! Consulate. He is escribed as tall and
handsome, with blonde mustache, brown
hair and dark eyes. He became acquainted
with the king in the gardens attached K
the palace, and 1t is said that he took care
/ 10 meet the sovereign accidentally every
dag. and then always behaved with suci
respectful admiration as FIRST attracted tn
! monarchs attention and then won his IA
vor. Jackson was offered the position
reader 10 the king, with salary OF Sl5o'
and a suite of five rooms IN one OF the roy
al buildings, and accepted it upon the con
dition that in renouncing his allegiance u
the United States he should not assum
obligations 70 receive orders from any per
son except the king himself. The youn!
man is said coy 10 have the kings conn
dence in a high degree, and often 10 be hi
sole companion on travels and walks, oein!
treated rather as a friend and equal than
subject in the receipt OF wages. jackson
recently received the decoration CT tn
Franz Josef order from the Emperor o.
Austria. The old courtiers are jealous
but the young man seems able to take care
of himself.

bringing into life an article in proprietar.

a full equivalent for MS money. The ruiz
OF this class of medicines Is from ten u

reaching 40. Messrs. c. l. Hood Co
