JACKSON FELT THE TwEAk.
Dramatic Episode in the Career of Old
Hickory.

One of the most dramatic incidents
in the career of President Andrew Jack
son took place while .'Old Hickory
was en- route from Fredericksburg, Va,
to attend the corner stone laying of the
monument erected to Mary Washing
ton, the mother of the father of his
country. Although this monument was
not finished and dedicated until 1894,
it's corner stone was laid in May, 1888,
by President Jackson, who began his
journey to Fredericksburg on the
steamer Sidney.
The steamer made a brief stop at
Alexandria to take on a military COM
pany from that city. The Sidney, like
all river steamers of that day, was a
very primitive concern, compared with
the splendid modern palaces that ply
on our principal rivers. The president
was seated between the dinner table
and the berths, his speCtacles on, a
pipe in his mouth and newspaper in
his hand. The pipe was no doubt OF
the corn cob variety, to which "Old
Hickory was so much attached that
he habitually used it, even in the White
House. Several gentlemen of the
presidents party were standing near
the door of the saloon-or rather,
cabin. for such it was. A well-drCssed
gentleman entered. coolly shook hands
with one of the gentlemen and courte-
ouSly passed. on he approached the
president and commence to withdraw
his glove from his right hand. Sup
posing that 1t was some person who de
sired to meet him, the president took
the pipe from his mouth and remarked:
Never mind the glove, sir" The
stranger in an inaudible tone muttered
something about an injustice and ig-
nominy put upon him, and. Selling the
presidents nose, gave it a violent
wrench. The hVStaO1PrS friends pf
the president, instantly rushed to the
rescue, one of them dealing the as
sailant several blows with an UNI
brella.
Garland, in his Life of Andrew
Jackson" says that the friends of the
assailant gathered around him and
hurried him from the boat. This is not

that 1t Is the purpose of his people to
put on a line of steamers Immediately, with
the view of controlling all of the banana
trade of Nicaragua. The advent of this
new corporation will probably have the eff
feet, at least for the present, of advancing
the price of bananas and cheapenng
freights on incoming and outgoing cargoes.
Mr.. Morgan states that the freight and
passenger service of the new line will be
in every respect superior to that of the old
company, and it is probable that a small
but fast steamer will be run as an auxiliary
between Port Lmon, Costa Rica. and San
Juan del Norte, Bluefields, and Cape Ora
