AnecdOte OfJacksOn.

When Andrew Jackson was young limb
of the law he hung out his shingle in Jones'
boro, East Tennessee. Among the dis
tingulshed lawyers that attended the court at
Jonesboro was General Waitsell Avery, of
North Carolina, one of the signers of the
Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence.
General Avery always carried in one of the
capacious pockets of his overcoat an old copy
of Lord Bacon's Law Digest, carefully
wrapped up in brown paper. In all impor-
tant lawsuits this venerable law book figured
conspicuously. As the old General would
draw it just in time to rout Jackson and the
other young lawyers. One night when Cen
eral Avery's overcoat was hanging up at
the hotel, Jackson slipped Lord Bacon out
and put peice of fat bacon the same size in
the paper and placed in the pocket. Next
day the young lawyers bsdgered General
Avery very badly in law case, purposely to
bring out the Bacon digest as usual. He
said; MAY it please yonr Honor, Lord
Bacon furnishes a precedent that fits my
view of the precisely. and will proceed
to read it to the court" With this he took
the packet out of his pocket and proceeded
to unfold it. To the surprise of the court,
the delight of the young lawyers and the
amusement of everybody, the Bacon proved
to be fat hog meat. The old lawyer was
hopping mad and challenged young jackson
and the latter accepted. The seconds. un-
known to the principals loaded the pistols
with blank cartridges, and of course, no blood
was shed.
