Tho Saracens, like one of their own
Siroccos, had burst upon Europe,
sweeping everything before them from
Mecca to Touris, where they were
pounded to powder by Charles the
Hummer. But now a fferoer barba-
rian-the Turk-thunders at the gates
of ConstantinopIe. Century after
century, they were heidi in check by
the mysterious Greek fire, which
guarded its walls with a weapon of
flame, until a new fire more subtle
stiII, enabled them 10 throw down It's
walls with cannon in 1853. The door
to the East Indies was now shut to the
hardy seamen Of Europe.
Meanwhile the invention of the ma.

compass in his hand Vasco de Cana

East Indies, and doubled the cape OF
Good Hope in 1885. Spain and Por-

eonda, the cashmere shawls, the tea
from China, the spices from the Phil
ippine Isles, ths coffee Of Java, and
the aromaties of Arahia. These were
the days of the tulip maria, when the
wife of rich shiPOwnor would invest
the proceeds of a rich voyage in a
peJeetly bea,aifiR tulip. These were
the days when De Reyter and Van
Troup nailed broom to their mast
head to shOw that they had swept she
ocean of their foes.
In little while. however, England
came forward from her island throne,
and sang "Britannia rules the waves
And then was founded the most splen-

A. jackson, from D. NJ Stokes" For
he LIST seven or eight years l have been
trying to get hold of the letter written
by President Jackson to Mrs. Dunlap.
AS it is not in the possession Of any OF
his immediate descendants, presume
that her Two sons, who were violent
Nunifers, must have torn it to pieces as
soon as they read it. Previous to the
days Of nuIlihication General Jackson
had some correspondence with Colonel
Witherspoon and others of Lancaster, on
the subject of his revisiting his native
State. But after that time the bitter
ness of party spirit was such that no one
dared to renew the subject.
