The Story of General JacksOn's Cotton Bale
Breastworks a Pleasing Fiction.
There are few of the schoolboys Of
several generations preceding the pres
ent 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 =, count of this was in all
the school histories and several others.
and the 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 5 administration, de-
scribes the battle of New Orleans and
mentions no such feature. McMaster.
in his latest volume, refers 10 the story
i'll note only to say that there We're two
Or three cotton bales used in one place,
and they We're either set on fire OF
knocked out at once.
JackSon'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 it 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
the Americans lost six killed and seven
wounded McMaster places the figures
of killed and wounded at 20. The Brit
lsh, 1t seems, We're not all repulsed ac-
cOrding TO tine popular story. The right
line of the American troops was drive

IN the rear Of jackson ON the way L,
New Orleans.
He was really flanked by this success.
but the terrific slaughter he inflicted up
on the 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

Jewell, like all men ought mp to

When Jewell was minister to Russia,

the process Of manufacturing Russian
leather. Ele had experimental with q
few dollars himself, only to learn that
the secret was not to be discovered.
When at the court Of st. Petersburg,
he profesSed great interest in Russian
industries and was shown through many
of the manufactures there. By and by
there came an oppo-t anity to go through
u factory where Russia leather was man
ufactured. Jewell was all smiles and
cCurtesieS and seemed profoundly inter
ested in those things which really did
not interest him and wholly blind to the
very things he went to that place 10
see. But he was not so blind as they
thought When he came out of that fac
tory, he had discovered, rs he believed,
the process, and he brought the discov-
cry back to this country with him, 50
