in his public paTlor. He had but few minutes before returned from worship al a small Presbyterian chapel on his grounds of which he WAS a member.
 We found this remarkable man. whose name WAS on every tongue, and whose deeds of valor and siAtessnAnship endeAred him to the hearts of his countrymen, quietly seated al small table, near a cheery blazing wood fire on the hearth sur rounded by all the comforts of home life. attentiyely reading his bible, which lay spread out before him. He arose from his seat easily and with dignihed grace. and, tending his long, white, ,AttenuAted hand, grasped that of my father with great warmth, and then extended the same kind ly courtesy to us. I observed that his hand was hot and feverish: indeed, he was then in the ;nciPien; stage Of consumption, of which intractAble disease he died the fol- lowing spring.
 With a most cordial and kindly welcome he bade us be seated around his cheeTy hearth. He informed us that sach was the feeble state of his health that he WAS compelled to receive his intimate friends in his private chamber, and that he was even debarred from visiting the dining room, but he made 1t rule. from which, as long as possible. he could not depart to attend divine wrrrhip on the Sabbath day.
 have never seen one who impressed me with such force, such power, and who seemed to transfix your inmoEt soul as did General Jackson. When l first saw his tall, slender, attentuat-d, but erect form arise from his seat to great as, his cordial, kindly, ever gentle manner, with all the frank kindliness of warm heart beaming from those yellowish gray eyes, that digni- fled, graceful, commanding, elegant manner. and heard his easy and finent language as the words poured from his mouth, the conviction came to me then and there that General Jackson had been grossly slandered man.
 The features of General Jackson were the most striking in appearance of any that ever saw. His mouth was not large. but his lips were rather thin and com pressed. His forehead was high, but not very broad. His hair was iron-gray and stood out from his head stiff and bristling His nose was long and sharp. while the chin was strong and square. indicating great irmness Of character. Both the eyes were the crowning glory of his face They were of A rich gray, full, large. and could blaze forth with'wonderful brilliancy and expression of intensity, when excited or under the influence of strong emotion, or, on the other hand, they could beam with Ett4--s4-t~- when HIS EALACT feelings were aroused. As has 50 often been represented. the eye of Jackson more nearly resembled that of the eagle than any that l have ever secn. IL was clear, full. penetrating, aCd perfectly fearless. When engaged in Ail the animation of an exciting and interesting conversation, the play of those striking but pale features and flashing eyes was impressive in the ex- treme. In conversation Jaskson looked his companion squarely in the face, and his eye indicated no fear of scrutiny, criticism or opposition. He never seemed to look down but his head stood erect on his shoulders, and he never seemed lost for word. His idea flowed in q steady stream, and though his appearance indicated the ravages of disease, his powers of intellect were as clear and bright, his will as strong, and his ardor as intense as ever.
