ANDREW JACKSON.
Some "Reminiscences of his Life an,
Practices in the White House.
From the Chicago News.l

lfrom the chicago News
asked an old friend of Jackson TO-
day how the General used to conduct
affairs at the White House when he was
President. She said: jackson had
no foolishness. He believed in working
and having everybody about him do the
same thing. His breakfast hour was
generally between seven and eight
o'clock. I have often seen him hurry
from the table to go to the library to
begin work. His table at every meal
contained the finest of everything that
could be found. Some of his dinners
were simply superb. 1 don't believe a
day passed but that he had two or more
friends to dine with him. He seldom
had many at his table, but enjoyed ex-
tending his hospitality to few. If a
friend called with friend at dinner
hour, the two were invariably urged to
dine. I remember one afternoon while
was visiting at General Jackson's /
had been out with young naval officer.
He left the White House Just before
dinner. When went tothe table the
General wanted to know why / had not
invited the young man to remain and
dine. That is the way he treated all his
friends. His opponents shared differ
emily; they were disposed of in very
short order, and without argument pro
or con. He was a positive man, and
when he went to the White House dis
posed of officeholders in quick success
sion and appointed those who had aided
him. Delegations came to the White
House to recommend or interpose. The
latter he dispatched more rapidly than
they came. Of course there were not
the many delegations at that time who
go to-day. L remember. once' seeing
him take his cane. and start to. hit
caller who had displeased him. The
caller was none other than the Speaker
of the House of Representatives. He
wanted something and insisted that it
should be given to him. The more he
talked the more angry General jackson
became. Finally he lifted his cane and
was going to hit the caller, but he hur-
riedly left the room.
General Jackson always dressed in
black. He wore a locket continually
containing his wife's picture about his
neck. A large portrait of her hung OPP
posite the foot of his bed. I have seen
some few devoted husbands, but I have
never seen one so devoted as was Gen.
Jackson to his wife. She was a very
handsome woman.
cit was amusing to watch him of
evenings. Generally at early candle
light he would fake his cob pipe and sit
before an open fireplace. He would
pick coal, light his pipe, and, leaning
back in his chair and crossing one leg
above the other, would mediate for
hours"

Very heavy mails are being sent from
fome points in Mexico to other points

States.
Some of our contractors are complain
ing vigorously that this mail loads down
their coaches, and is a great burden to

compensation on the ground that they
are bound by their contract to carry
only United States mails, and did not
agree to transport Mexican mails. The
claims will be examined by the Post

RAISING THE AMOUNT.
How Fourth Glass Postmasters In
crease Their Salaries.

WASHINGTON, September Is. = Post
master ]. w. Flagg, OF Ellsworth,
Mass, has been recommended for re-
moval for mailing circulars at his post
off ,e that should have been mailed at
Boston. Fourti-class postmasters are
paid salaries based on the number of
stamps cancelled at their offices. If
such postmaster, from friendship or
through corrupt me sures, induces
business men living IN cities OF
Presidential grade TO mail large
quantities of matter at their offices, the
effect is an increase in the postmaoter's
salary. This practice is believed to pre-
vail 10 great extent in the small towns
surrounding Boston, and to small eX-
tent around New York. The inspectors
investigations have revealed the fact
that there are persons i'll the cities who
make a business of furnishing addresses
for quantities of circulars for firms
free OF cost, upon payment of l cent on
each circular They take these circulars
to small village postofices, and stip-
ulate with the postmaster for share in
his commission, and this share, it
seems, is large enough to make the
business lucrative. There. is said to be
no statute under which such persons
can be punished, and it is probable that
the attention of Congress will be called
to the need of legislation inI this partic-
ular, but regulations of the postoffice
department authorize the Postmaster
General to recover from the postoffice
any money paid them in excess of their
lawful commission, and under this pro-
vision $1,000 can be recovered from
postmasterS.
