ANDREW JACKSON.
Two Characteristic Stories of the
Hero of New Orleans.

General Armstrong, Assistant Commissioner
of Indian Affairs, thinks that Andrew Jackson
was one of The greatest men This country ever
produced, and has number of stories which
were told him by his UNCLE who was an init
mate friend OF Old Hickory. One of them /,
very characteristic OF the man.
Lewis Cass, secretary of War, was over al
the White House one day with some important
papers for the President TO sign, among them
being court martial findings.
'CasS, what IS thls?" inquired Jackson. as
he was about TO write his name to The docu-
ment.
Ill is a court mar:ial,' answered Cass

dent.

"WbO is it?" inquired the President with
Inspector General Kraun," replied Sec.e-
taTv CaSs.
"WhaIi" shouted Jackson. only old friend
Colonel Kraun! Cass, just read what that
paper says"
the secretary read the usual form of the
court martial sentence IN such CASES. The
president then took the paper and wrote across
the bottom where he was about TO sign his
name:
The within findings are disapproved, and
Colonel Kraun IS restored 10 his duty and
rank"
He passed the paper back to Secretary Cass.
and said, with his usual vehemence:
by the eternal! Cass, when you and Scott
serve your country az well as that man has you
can get drunk on duty every day."
yourg man from Tennessee, son OF friend
OF General Jack son, came 10 Washington for a
place. He looked about aud found what he
wanted. IL was IN the War Department, and
filled by very efficient Wing, whom Secretary
Cass would not remove. The young man told
Jackson he situation, and Cass was sent for.
Cas-" said the President, This young man,
son OF my old friend. says you have got place
In the War Department filed by a Wing which
you won't give him."
Secretary Cass explained that the duties of
the office were OF peculiar kind, aud he could
get no one 10 fill the place II the man now in it
should be removed. Jackson fiared up.

me you have an Office in your department filled
