Anecd0te OF Jackson.

General Andrew Jackson, during the
latter part of his life, was in the habit of
visiting New Orleans to see his old
friend and comrades in arms and par
heipate in the celebration of the glorious
Sth of January. 1t happened on one of
these visits that the Sth of January fell
on Sunday. General Plauche called on
the old hero and requested him to ac-
company the military to the battle
ground on the anniversary of the great
day. 81 am going to church tomorrow"
mildly observed the general.
The preparation for the cele-
bration went on, and Sunday morn
ing dawned bright and beautiful. At 10
o'clock General Plauche called at the st.
Charles and informed General Jackson
that the military and civic professions
were ready to accompany him to the
scene of his glory. General Plauche,"
responded old Hickory, turning upon
him the glance of his kindly eye, II told
you 1 was going to church to day" Gen
ersl Plauche withdrew, muttering to
himself, 81 might have known better"
The celebration was postponed until the
next day, and General Jackson listened
on that day to one of the most eloquent
discourses of DR.. Scott in the church on
Lafayette Square.

Her Little Brothers Trowsers.

We were sitting on the yeranda at
Brighton. A family group near US at
tracted our attention by the mothers Sc
we're remarks in connection with a loud
dashlng blonde, who had just deserted a
table near, in company of two evidently
ardent admirers.
Good heavens! how changed times
are. In my young days"
Yes, IN your young days." the hus-
band sarcastically y remarked without per-
mltiing the lady to finish her sentence,
"things We're trife different, perhaps.
L doubt whether the girls of to-day
would dress up in their brothers clothes
and go running after their beaux-"
Father" exclaimed the outraged ma
tron, glancing meanihgly at the two
young ladies', but father evidently en-
Joyed the fun of telling tales out of
school, and continued with a jolly wink
at the girls: Il knew young lady who
got into her little brothers pantaioons
one evening and stole into a neighbor's
where there was another young lady,
who dressed herself in her big brothers
pantaloons, and after much whispering
anu glggling and tiptoeing and peeping
around the front door, to see whether
the coast was clear, they stuck cigar
between their lips and marched boldly
down the village street, past the post
ofhce lounglng corner, where the big
brother OF the one young lady stood with
dozen other young bucks who were
posted on the fun in store for the girls
by the little brother of the other miss in
pantaloons. The young fellows didn't
want to make the fun too rough. SO they
waited quietly until the pantaloon team
approached, when one of the boys-the
real boys, mean-stepped forward. and
holding out his blazing cigar, said,
politely: 'Ah, strangers. won't you have
light ? One of the girls-boys-the one
with her little brothers clothes on, bold
Iy accepted, and boldly Lit her cigar, the
other walked rapidly on, trembling like
a scared baby I'll bet. The first thanked
the young man in q bass voice, part as
sumed and part hoarse with tobacco
smoke, and tried to walk away with dig
nifty, while sitting o cough and swallow
ing smoke enough to preserve her. Just
then, as previously planned. the young
men gave a simultaneous yell and started
after the boy girls, and they in turn gave
vent to a shrek. ''Oh, Lord!" and took
to their heels. Oh, what a race that
was," laughed the gentleman, but the
lady tried to look severe, and remarked,
''That's enough, now, father"
"Oh, pa, tell the end of it; do, dol"
chorused the young ladies.
"Like all such tricks, it came to very
bad end" The mother said, sternly.
''Not bit of itr' the gentleman cried.
''For when one of the young ladies was
at last overtaken she was leaning against
house the sickest creature you ever
saw. The fright and the tobacco smoke
had used her up badly, and beside the
big brother of the other girl had to take
off his coat and put it around her, for
her jacket was awfully short, as it be-
lOnsed to her little brother, and in the
tussel with an indignant stomach her
trousers"

Row in a Sleeping Car.

A man who manages company OF fe-
male minstrels may think he has got
soft thing, and other managers may
th4lk SO, and they may envy him, but
all is not peace. The minstrels do not
love each other much. At Atlanta, the
EentZ-Santley female minstrels got into
a fight in the sleeping car, and those who
saw the fight say it was the worst that
ever was. The row began between two
of the women, but it was lot long be-
fore the whole troupe was engaged.
First they pulled hair until the floor of
the car was a foot deep in wigs and
frizzes, and then they scratched and
threw each other into berths, where they
did not belong. The colored porter was
the most frightened coon that was ever
seen in Georgia. One of the minstrels
was knocked endwise, and her head
struck him in the stomach and drove
him into wash bowl. He got up and
climbed from an upper berth to the tran
SONS and pulled the bell rope. A man
from Chicago, said to be a railroad man,
whose name was Chandler, was in an
upper berth, and hearing the noise, he
put his head out between the curtains
and asked what the row was about. He
said he wanted to be counted in If there
was anything interesting going on. A
muscular female took him by the hair
and jerked him out of the berth, and he
struck broadside on a nickel-plated GUS
pidore, cutting biscuit out of him. and
then the girls walked on him. He
begged to be allowed to go to his berth
and make his toilet, but they told him
de had just as many clothes on as they
hid One girl was kicked into lower
berth occupied by minister and his
wife from Cleveland. The girls head
struck the minister in the face and came
near breaking his jaw. Those who heard
his wife talk ss she kicked the female
troubadour out say there was nothing
the matter with her jaw. The train
stopped and the conductor came in with
the train hands and got the combatants
apart, and had them aprested. A Judge
was routed out of his bed to Try the min
strels so they could get away and make
the next town in time to show, and they
were fined $50 each. The men connected
with the show, when the row commenced
crawied into the box Office of the sleep
ing car, and they never showed up until
the police arrived. They know what a
row with female minstrels means, and
they take to the woods when the hair
pulling commences.

The attempt to pass prohibitory liq-
uor law in North Carolina has failed, the
constitutional amendment being voted
down on Thursday last by a large MAORI
ty. Unfortunately the matter was made
one Of party. The Democrats originated
and advocated the amendment and the
Republicans opposed it. The negro vote
was what sc tied the issue, and the way
in which the vote was manipulated
shows the imp erative need Of educating
those to whom the ballot has been given.
The negroes were suspicious Of the move
mcnt from the first, because Of its origin,
and their ignorance and fears were work
eel upon in the most unScrupulouS man
ner by the Republican leaders, many Of
and sale of liquor. For instance, it is
said the negroes were told that the law
proposed would break down the public
schools. take the right to vote from the
freedmen, and actually reduce them to
slavery again. \ fair specimen of the eff
feet of these fails ehoods can be seen from
this passage from Il sermon preached by
one of the colorcd ministers ''De Scrip
lures say dat dcrc shall be one law fur all
and dey is tryin to take de whiSkey from
Gle poor cullud man, and let dc rich white
man drink all he wants. I've got a head
of my oWn-Im not to be turned about
rial as this 10 work npon,it is not strange
that the ''poor cullud man was induced
to vote for his greatest curse, and the
thing that makes him slave indeed. As
political victory, itais one that any par
ty' we'll might wish its opponent to have
rather than itself and Chron-
icie.

The House Of Lords, through its tory
element, hope to defeat Mr.. Gladstone's 5
Irish Land Bill ut the present session
The rejecting of the most sweeping claus
cs has greatly excited the country The
battle il set in array between plutOcracy
and democracy. Mr. Gladstone is under
stood to have said that he would not
yield Il hairs breadth, and VIII issue an
appeal to the country, showing that the
work Of an entire session has been lost
by the few hours opposition OF the recall
citrant House of Lords. RadicaliSm is
rampant and demands the abolition of
this body under the cry OF "Down with
the Oigarchy.' Members were sum
moncd hastily from leaves of absence, on
Saturday, to be present ut the final strug-
gle. Grouse hunting surrendered all its
votarieS to the high demands of State
pefils. The campaign will be Il vigorous
and eventual one. And Mr.. Gladstone
will allow Pariment to adjourn and re-
sumo the subject III the next, rather than
yield an inch.
