BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS.

Today, January eighth, is the riinetietl
Anniversary Of the Battle of New Or
leans, fought on the plain of Chalmette.
With an army Of trained Veterans, sup
ported by powerful feet, General Pack
enham, attacked General Andrew Jack
son, whose forces, if inferior in number
and in armament, were patriots fighting
for their country. Resisting these train
cd soldiers and sailors Of England were
some cotton bales and entrenchment
hurriedly constructed. but this line Of
defense was held by men who knew no
fear and whose aim with rifle or gun
was unerring. And General Jackson, by
his intrepidity. was a hest in himself,
and his fiery zeal nerved the patriots to
the most sublime deeds of heroisEn. 1t
is no wonder then that these veterans
of England were powerless to dislodge
the Americans who repulsed every attack
made upon them During the conflict
General Packenham was killed. The
British army was overwhelmed in defeat.
Jackson was hero. His name and his
fame are nmortalized in history. Great
cr battles have been fought, but no vic
tory has been more brilliant than Jack
sons defeat of Packenham and his army
of trained veterans supported by pow
erful feet. During the years preceding
the conflict between the North and the
South Jackson Day was observed in
New Orleans with civic and military
displays which attracted thousands OF
the people from nearly every State of
the Union, but this day, as others, inn
mortalized in blood by Southern chivalry,
receives little attention now besides its
observance as holiday when banks SITS
pend business, but in the general traffic
and trade there is no abatement. it is as
other days where the striving for the dol
lar is unceasing. TO Louisiana this day
should have distinct Significance. The
battle was fought on Louisiana soil. a
few miles below the city of New Or
leans, on January 8, 1875. If Jackson
we're alive today and the President of
The United States! This very thought
sets to tingling the patriotic blood in
the veins of every American citizen who
glorifes in the spirit and the achieve
ment of General Andrew Jackson. in
war and i'll the pursuits of peace.

Apropos Of marriage and rings it is in
teresting to know how the people of diff
ferent countries regard rings The Arab
says one should wear four rings. A ruby
to give pride and passion, but nobility
land temperance. A turquoise which pre-
serves from misfortune. An agate for
faith and plety, and last circle of Chi
ncse iron. which will make the wearer
brave and prudent. Such rings are worn
with a sincerity of belief that lends it.
self even to the expression of the hand,
and gives to the Arabs the most bca,1ti-
full and dramatic gestures in the world
Of course the interest of all women CEN
ter on two rings. The engagement ring
is of modern invention. usually da-
mond. to signify the validity of the con
tract, and also that the lover has offered
the best thai can be had. The wedding
ring has been used by all nations From
dime innemorlal Stxon. Celt, Gaul,
French and 'reuton have pllghted their
troth with purest gold. all taking the
circle as symbol of eternity. the love that
has no end. In the earliest forms of
Christian marriage the ring was first
slipped over the thumb lin the name of
the Father" 1'hsr the index in the
name Of the Son" the middle finger I'm
the name of the Holy Spirit" and last
the fourth, amen to rest forever This
fourth OF ring finger" plays an interest
ing role in expression. It is the finger
of the soothing tenderness and affection.
In France there is peculiar significance
in the ways in which the ring is held at
the precise moment of the lttterance of
the words. with this ring | thee wed,
etc. If the bridegroom slips the ring at
once over the second join it is sign that
he gives of the sovereignty of his own
house, but if, as he repeats the words, he
merely holds it over the end Of the fin
ger, but does not let it slip down till after
the words, it declares that he intends to
remain master as we'll as protector
Abroad, the presence or absence of the
wedding ring is mitch more noticed than
with us. In Norway it is considered dis
honorable for a man not to bear the sign
that he is married. In modern Greece
he husband wears gold crclet. the
wife silver, "reminiscences Of the an
cient sun and moon worship, which still
prevails in India.
