 of fSaturdny-Italian Protest

NEW ORLEANS, La, March 16.-The ex- citement over tue lynching Saturday has COO ed down somewhat today.

1t supercedes every other field and is
to-day the vanguard Of civilization

Stories of Stonewall jackson.

The death of General Cadmus Will
cox recalls some original and charac-
teristic anecdotes concerning Stone
wall Jackson which he was in the
habit of relating. When Jackson first
entered West Point he was regarded
as remarkably stupid and green
youth. General Whiting, who after
ward served in the Confederate army,
was then cadet in the class above
Jackson's. and was appointed to ask
him some questions in mathematics. in
accordance with the custom which
then prevailed at the Military Acad-
envy. Whiting thought him at first
remarkably dull, but noticed that he
studied and worked with logged per-
sistency. The class of which Wilcox
and Whiting were members was grad
uated just prior to the Mexican war.
Several of the young officers were in
Washington on their way to Mexico,
and on the n rht of their arrival they
were invited to 90 with Jefferson
Davis, then a member Of the House, to
Il reception given at the White House
Later both Davis and L. j. jackson
turned their faces toward the Rio
Grande. At the close of the war Jack
son ranked every member of his class
aud was brevet major, and was sta
toned on Governors Island, near
New York. Whiting, Wilcox and a
number of young officers were visiting
New York, and when severat brother
officers from Governors Island called
on them Whiting asked:
What has become of Tom Jack
son; how is he getting on?"
Badly, badly" replied the officer;
''since he has stopped fighting he has
taken TO tiddling. He came over to
this city few weeks ago and bought a
fiddle, several bows and pile of rosin.
You will remember at West Point
there was no music in his soul, no
poetry, no relaxation, nothing but
hard application to his text books. So
his new fad makes it awful for us.
Every minute he can spare he devotes
to practicing on the fiddle and the
sounds which fill the barracks in his
vicinity are beyond description; almost
beyond endurance"
BE patient" said Whiting. with a
smile; IF Tom Jackson is determined
to master his violin you will listen to
a second Paganini before he gives up"
But Writings prediction was not
verified. Jackson never became a
musician.

How the Beverage Glanced to BE Drank
In Fifth Avenue Club.

Fifth avenue recognized tall, lanky,
white whiskered old man, who walked
lazily uptown in the sunshine of a re-

the rural districts. His frock coat of
rusty broadcloth. his exceedingly crook
ed snuf-colored trousers, his large
stiff boots, and his inquisitive, roam
ing eyes stamped him as farmer
come to town for holiday. He paus-
ed on corner Of one of the cross
streets and gazed long and admiringly
up at the ornamental facade of a hand
some clubhouse. A number of men,
bers were sitting in the windows, and
the farmer saw that they wore their
hats aud were smoking, while he also
observed that cabs drove up to the
main entrance of the editice, and gen
tlemen passed through Il doorway that
stood open.

By Il servant, who asked him whom he
wished to see.

sponded. Il stopped in for an oyster

He was apprised of the fact that he
could not get an oyster stew, and when
he brindled up bit and said if he
couldn't get Il stew he would have a
plate of corned beef, the servant began
to smile and to say that he could not
b. served, even with corned beef At
this the farmer became very angry.
| and III loud voice gave forth the in
formation that he had plenty of money
to pay for what he ate, and he didn't
propose to be insulted Just because he
wasn't born and bred in New York. 1t
so CHANGED that a party of members
we're passing through the hall at that
moment and overheard the excited
protestations of the fiery old country
man.
One OF them stepped forward and,
bowling politely to the farmer, begged
HIM to overlook the rudeness of the
servant. that he should be served with
an abundant repast if he would kindly
walk in. The countryman acknowl-
edged the courtesy of the young club
man by a deep obeisance, and. with a
look of contempt at. the servant. he
passed through the splendid halls into
the cafe IN company with the jolly
members. For full hour he reveled
in wine and salad
When he called for his bill and was
told that he had been guest of the
club and could not pay for his food
and drink, he exhibited Il simple en-
barrassment that was very touching,
and before he bid Il timid good-by to
his new acquaintance he asked to be
favored with their names. With these
written on the back of an envelope, he
went sadly away. Two weeks later
a wagon stopped at the club-hous and
basket was carried in. The driver
of the wagon left Il note addressed to
five members of the club. A few mo-
ments afterward Il dozen bottles of
cider were being consumed by 4 crowd
of men in the cafe. The health of the
old farmer was drank standing, with
the wish that his crops would never
fail and his children never bring sor-
row to his heart.-N y. Sun.
