I regret that pressing official duties will
not permit me to be present at the
exercises attending the unwilling OF the
statue at Concord. Every occasion which
does honor to this illustrious statesman
is OF extraordinary interest to all Aneri-
can citizens, since our pride in his ca
reer and achievements is not in the least
limited by partisan influence or by ANY SEN
timent less than national. It would be
well it, in the capitol OF every state, there
stood statue such as Concord boasts
which would also keep alive through the
coming centuries the love and veneration
OF the American people for true American
greatness.
The statue stands in the state house park,
100 yards east OF the capitol. The pedes-

Among many interesting iucldents
In tie life OF Earthquake Allen,v q
sobriqust which his powerful voice
gained him, was his account OF his
visit TO Andrew Jackson late on the
night OF March Ord, 1857. Mr.Allsn
had come to Washington TO enter tho
Senate ct noon the next day, when
the Presidential term OF Gen. jackson
would expire. On reaching tho
White House, Mr.. Allen. who was
well known 10 the attendants, was
showr into the PrssIdant's bed cham
ber. Chelf Justice Taney and ssna-
tor Forsythe, Of Georgia, afterwards
Minister to Spain and Secretary Of
State, were already In the room, and
Jackson himself, active and to o cer.
ialn extent restless. as usual, stood Ia
the middle Of the room smoking q
short corn cob pipe. He congratu
lated Allen warmly upon his election
10 the Senate, and then, calling to n
young Irlshman who acted as his
body servant and waiter, turned to
his visitors and SAID

monshs-and then, asking his friends
10 excuse him for few moments, he
finished writing letter upen which
he was engaged, sealed, directed II,
and, lighting his cob pipe again, took
a Whit or two, and stood silently
watching the face Of great, tall, old

ly the minute hand moved round the
dial The silence In the room be-
came almost painfnl. II was broken
by the clear, sharp boil Of the clock
striking the last hour OF a day which
had gone forever. Then jackson,
starting suddenly aud liking toward

laugh: "Genilem nj an ~ longer
