A HISTORICAL MYTH.
The Story of General Jaclson's Cotton Bale
BreastworIxs u Pleasing Fiction.

The Story of General Jackson's Cotton Bale
Breastworis u Pleasing Fiction.
There are few Of the schoolboys of
several generations preceding the pres
emit who do not remember being taught
that General Jackson won the battle of
New Orleans by throwing up breast
work Of cotton bales and meeting the
British assault behind them.
A dramatic account Of this was i'll all
tho school histories and several others,
and tho novelty of the affair appealed
wildly to the imagination. The cold
facts of later history prove this all to
have been fiction. Henry Adams, in his
history Of Madison administration, de-
scribes the battle Of New Orleans and
mentions no such feature. McMaster,
in his latest volume, refers to the story
In o note only to say that there were two
or three cotton bales used in one place,
and they were either set on fire or
knocked out ut once.
JaclSson's line Of breastworks was Of
earth irregularly thrown up and of vary
ing height along its length. The trained
sharpshooters Of the west did great work
as marksmen behind 1T and SO CALLED
the heavily laden British troops that they
had no alternative but to be shot or re-
treat before the American line
The schoolbook story used to be that
tho Americans lost six killed and seven
wounded. McMaster places the figures
of killed and wounded at 70. The Brit
ish, it seems, were not all repulsed &c
cording to the popular story. The right
line of the American troops was driven
In, and the British left advanced milo
In tho rear of jackson ON the way to
New Orleans.
He was really flanked by this success,
but the terrific slaughter he inflicted up
on tho British in the center, involving
the death of the first and second generals
in command, completely dispirited them
and induced the return Of that wing of
their army that was on the way to the
city. -Boston Herald.

Chair of the Giant Idris.

One Of the mountain peaks of north
Wales is known as the Chair Of Idris, or
Cader Idris, as the Welsh people call 1t,
because it's top is followed out like an
immense couch. According to local ira
dition, whoever spends night in the
Chair Of Idris will, ON the following
morning, be dead, raying mad Or en-
dowed with the Hottest poetical inspira-
ton. No one seems to know exactly who
Idris was or when he lived, but he must
have been giant IL his body was in
proportion with his celebrated "chair. "
Mrs. Hemans has fine poem with the
Chair of Idris as the theme, and Tenny-
son also mentions it in ENID. st.

How the Mother Gets the Little Ones
From the Nest to the Water.
A few miles from my homo there is
lake that has for years been the abiding
place of colony Of wood ducks. have
spent hours along the shores watching
these prettiest Of water fowls. The wood
duck has one popularity not possessed
by other members of the duck family
it builds its home high up in the cavity
Of some decayed limb, usually one that
juts out over the water.
The eggs, from seven to 10 In num-
Der, are creamy white In color. House
keeping is begun In May, and the young
are ready to leave the nest early In june
was curious to know how the little
ducks reach tho water from their lofty
homes I had often seen them, when
hardly clear Of their shell, swimming
about with their mother and felt con-
vinced that they never could have left
home unaided.
One bright June morning fortune IA
vored me. I had rowed along the lake
shore to pay visit to houseful of
noisy red wing blackbirds. My boat was
lying motionless among the tall cat
tails that fringed the shores Of the lake.
Suddenly I heard loud splash behind
one, and turning to look I saw on the
water q short distance away, just shak-
ing the spray from her wings, female
wood duck and near her two tiny yellow
balls, so small that they resembled wa
ter lilies floating on the surface.
The old bird took wing, lowered and
circled above her babies for few min
utes and then flew to cavity In tall
tree, short distance away. In short
time the male bird, arrayed in the hand
soonest Of plumage, Joined his mate.
Then for few minutes I could hear q
soft cooling noise, which reminded me Of
husband and wife discussing some i'm
portant point relative to the welfare OF
their children.

PAIN.

.oo drear companion of the slow night hours,
Thou sharpener of the soul, long, long had
Waged weary combat with thee, though my
cry
OF anguish only cheered thy knocking powers,
AS through the years we strove, no respite
ours,
Till, 10, one day each breathed victorious
sigh,
The master, thou of my mortality,
But master who beneath my spirit covers,
It's slave forever Now fast friends are we,
My vanquished victor, pain, and much 1 owe
To thy stern fellowship. Through thee / see
With quickened sense all things both high
and low,
For knowing all that can never be,
Tutored by thee, all wider life know.

Taxing Titles.

The republic Of France does not pro
pose to allow people to hang ON to old
titles without paying for the privilege.
It proposes to tax all such titles, and the
schedule as made up is as follows:
Prince, 1000 francs; duke, 800 francs;
marquis, 700 francs; viscount, 500
francs baron, 400 francs; double pre-
fix, 200 francs; single prefix, 100 francs.
1t would be still greater improvement
If France should abolish all titles. They
are out Of place under republican form

OF the famous London playhouses,
such as the Haymarket, the AL
hambra, the Drury Lane, the Grand,
the Aquarium and the Criterion.
Lewis Waller is the head man of
the Haymarket, which has sent so
many famous stars on their glitter
ing way in the theatrical firma-
ment. Mr.. Waller is retired actor,
az are nearly all of the London
managers. In this country few Of
the managers ever trod the boards
in professional capacity.
Mr.. Waller started his playgoing
life in small part in 1883, in a play
called Uncle Dicks Darling, which
made tour of the English prov
dnceS. Later he played Gilbert
Vaughan in Called Back" and after
successful run he attached him
self to MEae. Modjeska's company.
His ability was of such high order
that Modjeska offered him the posi-
ton of leading man in her Amer
lean tour. 1t was hattering
proposition, but he declined it. as he
had determined to stick to London.
He subsequently played with Kate
Vaughan at the Opera Comique.
with Mr.. Willard at the Gaiety. and
with the Kendals at the st. James.
Mr.. Fl. H. Morell is associated with
Mr.. Waller in the management of
the Haymarket. He is a son of the

mean advantage of the knowledge.
Capt. O'Connor's successor in civic
office, Tom Prendergast, was an artist
of worth in that gathering of anna
tours. 1t was in this school that he
acquired the well-known dramatic
force and style he now throws into
the call of the council roll Besides
his ability as an actor and formulator
of gags" he had the added accom-
plishment of being able to play the
cornet, and he used to sound the
alarums. On account of this distinc-
ton, the small boys of the city looked
up to him with a veneration amount
ing to awe; his adult fellow citizens,
while he was learning the gamut, had
sentiments towards him akin to awe,
but there was no Veneration in it,
Tom was never slow at anything, and
he soon mastered the torturing pre-.
liminaries, and became an excellent
player. He was reasonably proud of
his musical ability, and would walk
down to nightly rehearsals with an in
dependent stride, carrying his cornet
conspicuously, which prompted an ac-
qualntance, an old Irish lady, to re-
mark that he put on great gosther,

SCHULZE'S SHORTAGE.
Rumors of Discrepancies Amount
ing to One Hundred Thousand

ing TO one Hundred Thousand.
TACOMA. April 20.-Ever since his
death there have been rumors that the
late Paul Schulze was short in his
accounts as general Western land
agent of the Northern Pacific rail-
road. The friends of the dead man
have been inclined to discredit such
reports, though an investigation of his
accounts has been in progress for
three days. 1t is known that there
are indications of a shortage in the
land office accounts, and some of MIR.
Schulze's close friends have hesitat-
ingly admitted that his affairs are in a
much more complicated state than was
supposed at the time of his death.
What the shortage will amount to, if
1t turns out to be one, cannot yet be
told. 1t will take months to check up
all the figures in the land office ac-
counts, as it will be done in very care

Phipps has two experts, whom he
brought from St Paul with him, going

had been found in checking up the ac-
tual land sales with the land contracts
and cash receipts. The cause of this
cannot be definitely ascertained, be-
cause the gentlemen in a position to
know will not talk about it, An In

the territory between Chicago and the
Missouri river. 1t is intended to have
the three associations work in har-

a separate action where joint interests

principal stickler for one association,

Mrs. Sara Lane, of the Britannia
theater, HoXton. Hoxton is no gen

par with the Bowery in New York.
or Boiler avenue in Chicago. At
the Britannia the audiences employ
primitive methods for displaying ap-
probation or otherwise, such as
wholesale offerings of Vegetables
and the like.
