fined by public survey; that such sections
cannot be defined by private surveys and
that private surveys are unlawful. He

Andrew Jackson. il is related, was at one time
entertained at dinner by gentleman. and
among those present was one of those people
who often find their way into story books, ETC.,
as the type of that offensive class Of Americans
who are always trailing their nationality in the
dust in the effort to exalt their individual in
dependence. This particular gentleman, over
the wine and walnuts after dinner. in order to
emphasize his own independence of disposition,
of which he was loudly boastful. remarked with
a rare exhibition of self-complacence to Gen.
Jackson:
81 always voted against you, SIR"
The company was naturally rendered speech
less by this unexpected disclosure, and the scene
actually looked squally; but Gen. Jackson put
stopper on the boastful individual and avoided
further trouble by smilingly remarking:
And j, sir. have always fought the battles
of my country that you might enjoy that priv
ilege"
Another instance Of a happy response is that
OF an old Southern judge-but whether judge

appropriate reply pretty well developed, if the
story related Of him is true. He had been q
fierce Secessionist, and the fact was not forgot

litical arena of his native State. Speaking at q
certain place one evening in the interest Of his
own candidacy for Congress some one in the
audience. who evidently had a good memory,
inquired:

Harry ID. Smith, aged IL, OF Chelsea "A son of
a merchant doing business on Broad street, Bos-
ton. was drowned Saturday afternoon at Lake
Idlewild, Mass, under circumstances which
forcibly illustrate the supreme idiocy which
takes possession of many people in times of a
crisis. Smith was spending his vacation at
Hamilton. He went in swimming at tho lake
with some companions, was taken with cramps
and called for aid. The boys thought he was
trying TO fool them and only laughed at him.
Smith repeatedly shouted that he was not
shamming and begged them for Gods sake to
save his life. Finally his mates realized his
danger and endeavored TO secure assistance
Not far from the spot where Smith was strug-
Cling in the water was boat containing two
young men and two young women. The former
started to row TO Smiths assistance, but the
young women were suddenly smitten with
senseess modesty and refused TO allow their
escort 10 row near to Smith. lyon shall not,
you shall not" they screamed; take that
naked man into this boat" The young men
were compelled TO row their female companions
ashore before helping Smith, and subsequently
reaching the spot Smith had sunk for the last
time His body was recovered in an hour, but
the body was being recovered Smiths mother
was suffering violent Mysteries on shore, re-
qniring the attention of physician and several
helpers TO hold her back from the water aud
stifc her screams. At the same time one of the
over modest young women was pacing the de-
pot platform, biting her lips aud occasionally
dashing awey tear with her delicate, jowoled
hand.
