A HISTORICAL MYTH.
The Story of General JAekSon's Cotton Bale
Brcastworks "a Pleasing Fiction.

The Story of General JAckSon's Cotton Bale
Breastworks "a Pleasing Fiction.
There are few Of the schoolboyS uf
several generations prcc eding the pres
ent who do not remember being taught
that General jackson won the battle u
New Orleans by throwing mp breast
work Of cotton bales and meeting the
British assault behind them.
A dramatic n count Of this was in all
the school histories and several others,
and the novelty Of the affair appealed
vividly to the Imagination. The cold
facts II later history prove this all 10
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 a note only TO say that there were two
or three cotton bales used III one place,
and they We're either set ON fire Oh
knocked out at once.
Jackson's line of breastworLs was of
earth irregulArly thrown up and Of vary
ing height along its length. The trained
shapshoOters of the west did great work
as marksmen behind il and so CALLED
the heavily laden British troops that they
had no alternative but to be shot OF 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
ish, it seems, We're not all repulsed ae-
cording TO the popular story. The right
line Of the American troops was drive
in, and the British left advanced a mile
in the rear Of jackson ON the way T.
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
city.-BostOn Herald

A STOLEN SECRET.


How Minister Jewell Learned TO Make
Russia Leather.
Jewell, like all men brought up 10
learn a trade, and who afterward gained
prominence in affairs, made now and
then unconscious revelations Of his early
training During one of the campaigns
in which he was engaged he found him
self at a country hotel where the table
was bounteous, but the rooms few and
small 1t was necessary in order that the
whole party might he housed for each
bed to be occupied by two persons. The
governors roommate was young poll

when the governor just before retiring
rolled the sleeves Of his night shirt even
as far up As his shoulders, and then
bathcd his arms in cold water
"You wonder why do this" said
the governor. "Well, couldn't sleep
unless | did. When / was a youngster

When Jewell was minister to Russia,
he played Yankee trick upon the Rus
slams, the benefits of which we are reap

Like every other American tanner, he
had long wanted TO know the secret Of
the process Of manufacturing Russian
leather He had experimental with a
few dollars himself, only to learn that
the secret was not TO lie discovered.
When at the court IF 1T. Petersburg,
he profes>cd great interest in Russian
Industries and was shown through many
of the manufactures there. By and by
there came an opportunity to go through
a factory where Russia leather was man

courtesies and seemed profoundly inter

1t isn't every man that owns silk
hat, but it is the dream of every very
young mans life to possess one. A
young man in our end of town went to
the matinee with the only girl lie ever
really loved, and he wore a silk hat
He put it under the seat carefully, and
the next person who came IN gave it
kick that practically ruired it, Most
young fellows would have had a fit right
there, but this one said nothing at all.
He was SO philosophical that the girl
was charmed. As they came ont of the
theater they met another young man,
and the three went to get some soda
water. The girl told about the young
mans hat, and how philosophical he
was:
why, do you know. Jack, " she said,
Charley didn't even look annoyed 1t
was lovely.
"Umph. said Jack, with fire in his
eye, Its all right for him to be lovely,
but it's my hatl''

Lincoln and the HIshwaymau.

The following is a story Of Abraham
Lincoln which, if il is not true-as it
probably is nOt-is at least entitled to .
place in legendary literature: Lincoln
was once riding along q lonely road
when an ill looking man. who held a
cooked revolver, suddenly faced him.
What do you want, my friendi"
Lincoln asked
II am going to shoot you, answered
the man.
We'll, " said Lincoln, "I don't mind
being killed, but should like TO know
your reasons =
II onco vowed, said the man, THAT
il / ever met a man homelier than am
| would shoot him. "
Lincoln looked critically at his assail i
ant for minute, and then said:
well, if / am any homelier than Won
are, then for PHYS sake shoot -

Chair Of the Giant IdrLs.

One of the mountain peaks Of north
Wales is known as the Chair of Idris, or
Cader Idris, as the Welsh people call it,
because its top is followed ont like an
immense couch. According to local ira

Chair of Idris Will, ON the following

HYPHGAATEO NAMES.

sOme Aro Genuine, Others Simply Stand
Fer Snsbbsry-How 10 Distinguish.
Hrphenated names in Edrope may be
ivided into two atcgories-namely
those wherein the hyphen is a mere piece
of Snobbery and atfectation, and those
wherein it is consequent upon legal
obligation. The latter are in the minor
ity and are borne almost invariably by
legatees and their descendants, who have
inherited property. usually real estate,
contingent upon their tacling the name
Of the testatOr on to their own, or else
they are men who have married heiresscs,
and been accepted As husbands for the
latter on the condition that they should
append the family name Of their wives
10 their own patronymic.
People in the other category, who use
the hyphen merely with the object Of
creating the impression that they ara Of
more ancient lineage than is really the
case, invariably prefix, instead of APP
pending, the additional name, and IT Is
this that enables one to distinguish the
bona fide double barrel, as Lord Ran
dolph Churchill used to call them, from
those who are not, for you have only 70

his paternal grandfather in order to find

by, whereas in the case Of surnames
adopted in Difference 10 testamentary
dispositions one will ;nvarlably find ON
inquiry that the paternal grandfather
and ancestors bore the first of the two
patronymics.
The persons who make use Of hyphen-
ated names without being compelled to
do so are usually the owners Of patro-
nymics excruciatingly plebeian, who
hope, vainly, it is true, to redeem the
commonplace character of their name by
prefixing thereto one calculated, they
trust, TO create the impression that they
are connected with some Of the great
houses of the nobility Thus it is quite

Fulton's Product by Tweuty-twO Years.
Tile records of jefferson county, W.

that Robert Fulton was not the first
man to build steamboat in this coun-
try. He was anticipated over - years
by James Run>ey of Charleston, Va,
now West Virginia Rumsey'S steam
boat was partly constructed i'll Frederick
county, Md, i'll 1885. Ii was fitted up
with machinery partly manufactured at
a furnace called 1.-The Cococtin Fur
mace, " owned by johnson Brothers, and
located near the town of Frederick.
The two cylinders, the boiler, pumps,
pipes, etc, were built in Baltimore
Part of the work was done at the old
Antietam Iron works Rumsey's boat
was so feet in length, ard it was pro-
PEELED by an engine which worked a
vertical pump placed in the center If the
vessel The water was drawn in at the
bow and forced out at the stern through
a horizontal pipe. The entire weight Of
the machinery was G6J pounds, and
the tonnage of the vessel was three tons
The entire machinery, including the
boiler, etc, took up a space Of very lit
tie over feet square,
The first public experiment took place
ON the Potomac river on March If, 1856,
when the boat showed speed Of four
miles an hour up stream. The records Of
Jefferson county also show that George
Washington and Governor Thomas John
son of Maryland We're among the pat
rons of Rumsey, and that the experiment
was made in the interest of the then
