Among the multiplied testimonials
that honorod the glorious career, civil
and military, OF Andrew Jackson, were
the three magnificent swords presented
TO him: One by the Stats of Tennessee
another by the citizens OF fPbiladelphia,
and o third by the rifiemen Of New
Orleans. By bis win the General be-
queathed the first OF these swords to his
nephew Andrew jackson Donelson, the
second to bis grandson, Andrew Jack
son, and the third 10 his granddaughter
Andrew jackson Coffee. The CLAUSE
relative TO the first reads thus: ~ be
queath to my well beloved nephew
Andrew j. Doneleon. son OF 6Amue
Donelson, deceased, the elegant sword
presented to me by the State OF Tennes
see, with this injunction, that he fai
not to use IL, when, Unnecessary, in support
and protection of our glorious Union
and for the protection OF the constitu
tional rights of our beloved country
should they be assailed By foreign ene-
miles or domestic traitors
That same Andrew j. Donelson did
fail thus to use the sword thus received
from his great kinsman, and ever
ranged himself at the side OF those very
str raitors" who fought to destroy both
the glorious Union and the Constitution
itself. Again: "I beqneath to my be-
loved grandson, Andrew jackson. son
Of Andrew jackson, Jr., and Sarah, his
wife, the sword presented to me by the
citiz ADS OF Pniladel phia, with this in
junction, that he viii always use 1t in
defence Of the Constitution and oul
q orinus Union and the perpetuatioa Of
our Republican system" This same
Andrew jackson, thus honored by hi
patr otic grandfather, put himself IL
the ranks Of the traitors, aiding by hil
Influence and his money the conspira-
tors who sought the overthrow of tha
same Republican system" Ant
again:
"To my grand nephew, Andrew Jack
son Coffee, beqneath the elegant swor;
presented to me by the Rife Compan.
of New Orleans, commanded by Cap
| rain Beal, as q memepto Of my regard
and to bring to his recollection tn
gallant services OF his deceased father
General John Coffee, in the late India
aud British wars under my command
and his gallant conduct In defence G
New Orleans In 1914 10, with this In
Junction that he WELD II In protection
of the rights secured to the America
citizen under our glorious Constitution
against all invaders, whether foreig
foes or intestine traitors"
Where, then, was Andrew Jackso
Coffee when the Union was in its lif
and death struggle? He, too, wa
among the traitors, and the swor
placed In his hands for the protection c
The rights secured to American citizen
under our glorious Constitution, wa
pointed at the hearts of loyal men.

House on Friday evening in concert.
The reputation OF this celebrated artist

this city cannot afford to miss this OPP
portunity OF hearing the greatest living
songstress of the present age. The New
York "Telearsm," IN speaking OF her
recent appearance in that CITY,. says;
Nevada last year astonished as by the
wonderful bird like facility with which
she accomplished the most difficult
seats of vocal pyrotechnies. She re-
turns now with her mastery Of colora-
teur min paired, but with added beauty
of voice, earhestness OF manner, and
dram attic feryor of expression"

YESTERDAY.

Yesterday, darling-oniy yesterday,
The heavens were bright and all the earth was
fair
Loves golden radiance fell upon our way
Loves dreamy music filed the scented air
A thousand wild flowers trcmbIed round our
feet,
We saw the lilac boughs above us sway;
And heard the woodlark singing high and Get,
Yesterday darling-only yesterday
Yesterday. darling only yesterday.
with lips apart ana hair of russet brown,
You came, dear heart, across the hower.decked
way,
Sweeping the grasses with your trailing gown;
Upon your cheek there was wildrose glow,
And in your eyes there was a sunset ray;
You came with arms outstretched-you loved
me so,
Yesterday, darling-only yesterday.
Yesterday darling-only yesterday,
soft breeze stealing from the sunny South
Blew from your brow the tangled fringe away,
And woed the kisses from your crimson mouth ;
The boughs caressed you as you came along,
The red sun kissed you with its parting ray,
The woodlark praised you In his happy song,
Yesterday, darling-only yesterday.
Yesterday, darling--only yesterday;
All, me ah, me but yesterday is-dead
The flower still shines across the fiower-deck ked
way.
And still the woodlark warbles overhead
But In the shadows of great despair,
weep, dear heart, upon the weary way,
For loves bright dream, that made the earth so
fair
Yesterday, darling-only yesterday.

WEAK-MINDED PRINCES.
Medical Authority Who Deplores the r,
tial Insanity OF Rulers

A Medical Authority Who Deplores the Par
tial Insanity OF Rulers.
DR.. Ball, the Paris correspondent of London
Truth, has been investigating lunatics OF
royal blood, having been prompted to il by
the recent Bavarian tragedy. he cites many
instances OF insanity among those royal
figures that are most prominent in history,
and concludes that while a king but par
tally insane is course to a country, one who
is an evident and helpless lunatic is bless
ing.
He says 'What is dangerous Is gradual
run down from weakness of mind to mad
ness. In a descent of that kind George III.
lost America, and committed England 10 her
long war against revolutionary France, aud
to the Irish policy which the Grand Old Man
Is now trying to undo. Philip III, II Is now
shown, was in state of semi-lunacy when
he became the grand champion of orthodoxy
against heresy and fitted out the Armada,
Mary Tudor's sanguinary policy toward her
herectcal subjects is now explained by con-
dition Of leprosis, the germs of which came
to her from Catherine OF Aragon, sister of
Joanna the Insane. If Mary had lived a little
longer she would probably have been locked
up by Philip, as her aunt had been, and died
in state of denentia- The Emperor Paul's
semi-insanity was prevented by the courtiers
who murdered him from developing into
full-blown madness. But he contrived, in
the short period during which he was on the
throne, TO do lot OF mischief.
With his conclusions but few will agree, it
being generally believed that all men of great
ability are a little out of balance, and that an
Ideal ruler should he a man OF evenly de-
veloped mind and cool judgment, not a
genius fitted to excel in any one line, to the
neglect of others not so prominent but
quite as important.
AS men Of this kind are hard to find, a
constitutional form of government where the
partial insanity of able leaders is balanced
and checked by the similar insanity OF their
opponents, affords the only solution Of the
problem
