carefully done up in coarse brown paper
and the unwrapoing Of the volume was
a very solemn function as performed
by Jackson. who was then only twen.y-
M years old. Avery. during the trial
which preceded the duel, procured a
piece of bacon the size Of the book, and
while Jackson was. addressing the court
he slipped out the volume from It's
wrapping and substituted the bit Of
pork.
At length Jackson had occasion to ap-
peal to Lord Bacon While stil1 talk
ing he raised the bear-skin flap OF his
~saddIe-bag, drew out the brown paper
package, carefully united the sring. un-
folded the paper with decorous gravity,
