Two Characteristic Stories of Jackson's
 BIuntness When He Was President
 General Armstrong. assistant com missioner of Indian affairs. thinks that Andrew Jackson was one of the greatest men this country ever produced and has n number of stories which were told him by his uncle. who was an intimate friend of O,d Hickory One of them is very characteristic of the man.
 Lewis CasS. secretary of war. was over at the White House one day with some ini@Ortant papers for the president to sign. among them being a court mar tial findings.
 ''CasS, what is this:'' inquired Jack son as he was about to write his name to the document ''It is n court martial," answered Cass.
 What have to do with it:'' asked the president.
 "It dismisscs an officer from the serv- ice, and the president must sign such or ders"
 Jackson toyed with the paper and said muSingly: "Dismisscs him from the army, eh: Why:' Drunkenness; getting drunk and l falling down on parade or something of that kind. answered the secretary.
 Who ordered the court" asked Jack son.
 General Scott. answered CasS.
 "Who is it:' inquired tine president. with moro interest. "In$pcctor General Kraun," replied CaSS.
 "Whatr' shouted Jackson My old friend kraun. CasS. just read what that paper says"
 Tho secretary read the usual form of the court martial sentence i'll such cases The president then took tho paper and wrote across the bottom where Inc was about to sign his uame:
 The within findings arc disapprov- cd, and Colonel kraUn Is restored tC his duty and rank He passed the paper back to SeCreta' " Cass and said, with his usual vehe. mcnce:
 By the Eternal, CasS. when you and Scott serve your country as well as that man has you can get drunk on duty cv cry day. -
 A young man from Tennessee, son O friend oi General JaCkSon's, came [, Washington for place. He locke, about and found what hc wanted. was in the war department and iillc' by n very efficient Whic. when Sccrc tary Cass would not remove. The yuuni man told Jackson the situation. an, Cass was sent for.
 "CaSS," said the president, ''thi young man. son of my old friend, say you have got a place i'll the war depart mcnt filled by n Whig which you won give him.
 Secretary Cass explained that tn duties of the office were of peculia kind and Ec could get no one to fill th place if the man now in it should bc It moved. Jackson tlarrd up. By tlt, Eternal.

REVOLUTION appears to be once more imminent in Brazil: split has occurred in the cabinet Of Argentina which pres ages the downfall of the whole ministry and the entire Chilean cabinet has stepped down and out.

4 FAIR MAGDALEN.-A yourg
woman, eighteen years old and rather
prepossessing, attired in the habiliments
of mourning, was brought to the sta
ton house this morning charged with
vagrancy having been taken from the
house of a colored woman named Ger
trude Cole. 4 few years ago the de-
linquent was promising young girl OF
the First ward, surrounded by religious
influences. Her father has been dead
for some time, and few months ago
her mother paid the debt of nature.
VITA no parental authority to cope
with her incorrigibility. and manifest
ing q prediction for waywardness, she
became easy prey for the vicious, until
summed by her former playmates and
associates, she has. in a few short
months descended one rung after the
other OF the ladder of degradation un-
til, ignored by those of her own race,
she was compelled TO seek shelter un-
der the roof ola colored woman, where
she purposed continuing her absolute
habits. When found this morning she
and her sable friend were occupying
the only bed in the house. The young
woman, having no home, ho means of
support and passively acknowledging
she was following life of shame, was
sent to the workhouse, where it is
hoped in her reveries she may come to
her senses and renonnce the false step
she has taken.

COMPLAINT has been made at police
headquarters on several occasions re-
Gently that cases which have been dis
posed of in that court are reopened
before magistrates courts and fines i'm
posed upon those declared innocent in
the first tribunal. About a year ago q
colored woman was tried in the Police
Court for assault on white woman
and fined The latter proceeded to a
magistrate some where across the canal,
swore out warrant against the white
woman and she was made to pay IS.
Since that time on various occasions
parties who have lost cases in the Police
Court have emerged triumphant before
magistrates, where the cases are said to
have been virtually reopened or new
ones Matched from the original disputes.
Mayor Strauss will bring the matter to
the attention of Judge Norton when he
shall have returned home, and ascertain
the facts in the allegations.

HELPED HIM SPEND HIS MONEY
Ledeaux MadGux, who formerly lived
in his city but who went West recent
", lost his legs in wreck on the Hi
nois Central Railroad year ago, and a
short time since received judgment Of
s., 800 against the company. As soon
rs the money had been paid to him he
came to Washington and fell in with
Ray Harmon, alias Ray Aston. She
needed dresses and jewels, and he
bought them. She wanted to 60 to
New York, and he declared that she
should go in style, and that he would
go with her. They went and took a
couple of guides along, stopped at a
leading hotel, paid $40 day for car
riages, drank wine, and had grand
time, it is said. Mr.. Maddux's money
lasted but a short time in the misty
maze, and when it was gone the blond
ined Ray hurried back to Washington,
leaving Mr. MaIdux, cork legs and all,
in New York TO think it over. He fol-
lowed her and called at her house
Thursday night with revolver, and
threatened to kill the woman who had
neeced him. Officer Boyce arrested
him, but as he was drunk, placed no
charge other than that of intoxication
against him. The woman claims that
she is not TO blame in the matter.
Madiux, she says, had money to spend,
and she helped him spend it.
