How Jackson's Nose Was Pulled.

"CarpTin Cleveland Leader.
When | was at Alexandria last week,
/ heard an old mans statement of how
President Jackson's nose was pulled bv
Lieut. Randolph in the summer OF 1888
Said he: president Jackson was pass
ing Alexandra on his way to celebrate
the building of monument to Wash
ington's mother at Fredericksburg. The
steamer stopped at Alexandria TO get
the mail Jackson was sitting in the
cabin back OF table smoking q pipe
and there was hardly room to pass him.
His pipe was long-stemned one and it
hung almost 10 his knees. A few men,
including Major Donaldson, Jackson's
adopted son, were. standing about, and
there we're others who had come on
board to see the--President and to look
at the boat Among them was Lieut.
Randolph, connection of the noted
Randolph family 10 which John Ran
dolph belonged He had been dismissed
from the navy by Jackson for some
tronble in his accounts. He was a
straight young man and no. bad look
ing. He came on the boat and pushed
bis way through the crowd until be
reached the cabin. This he entered and
went up to jackson as though he wouli
speak to him. President Jackson did
not know him, but hell ont his hand,
asking him to excuse him from rising.
As he did so Rsn1olph with quick
gesture, seized Jsckson's nose and gave
1t three strong pulls. 1t was done 80
quickly that no one had a chance to in
terfere Old Hickory threw his pipe up
into the air as if to strike Randolph with
It, but before he could do anything Ran
dolph had'started off, and he was helped
hy the bystanders on to the wharf He
quickly mounted horse and rode off
into the country. Jackson's ex:itemen'
was intense. His nose was as red as
FIRE. and am sure itdid not regain its
color for days. He said ahgrily, If !
had had an idea that I was going to be
assaulted / should have been prepared
Randolph is the first villain who has ever
escaped me- Hereupon a bystaudeI
said: III you will pardon me for the
crime. I will kill Randolph within the
next fifteen minutes This Jackson re.
fnsed to promise. l think that an in.
dictment of assault with intent to kill
was filed against Randolph in the courts
of Alexandris, but this was aftetward
nollied by Major Donaldson

The Right Ring.

The admirable letterof Gov. CLEvE.
LAID to the National Civil Service
League has the true ring and will receive
the hearty Endorsement OF the Democra-
cy. with the exception Of the miserable
"spoils' gang within the ranks Of the
party.
The discontinue Of that element,
while II may, and no doubt will, cause
them to antsgonize and denounce the
Administration for it's refusal to recog-
mise their dishonesty and iDcompetenoy,
will. Tor that very reason. strengthen the
ADMINISTRATION with oil honest, upright
citizens. With unflinching. unfaltering
nerve, Gov. CLEvELASD stands for the
right. His opening gun sounds the key
note Of the coming crusade against ig-
norance and the "sroils" gang system.
The People STAND shoulder to shoulder
and extend to him their greetings and
support.

A Sad Case.

Yesterday evening about dark Officers
Brown and Oford found 14-year old
lad named Charles Smith lying on the
canal bank near the coifin factory in o
besslly state OF intoxicatioD. He was
picked up and was too far gene TO give
his name, but was identified by persons
who knew him. Some person had black
ed bis face by way OF joke, we suppose.
He was taken to the city prison TO sober
Of. The man or men who furnished the
lad with the liqnor should at once be-
hunted out and prosecuted to the full ex-
tent Of tue Law. Such work is truly and
sincerely abomipable and disgrace upon
the city in which ii occurs. The parents
OF that child will not have discharged
their duty not only To themselves hut to
the whole community until they invoke
the strong arm of The law to punish the
dasiards who committed this crime
against society.- Zanesville Signol Jan

Gov. CLEVELAND, 10 bis reply to the
National Civil Service Reform League,
says Of that class Of positions which do
not come under the provisions OF the
Civil Service Law:
"But many now holding such positions
have forfeited all iust claim to retention,
because they have used their places for
party purposes in disregard Of their duty
20 the people, and because. instead OF
'bejpg decent public servan,s, they have
proved themselves offensive partisans
'snd sunscrupnlous manipulators OF local
party management"
All such Will understand that they will
be required to take up their grip-sacks
