Until Jacks0nss era In washington
this country selected Presidents who n
every case had had large personal e.
perience In national affairs, says the
Springfield Republican. Washington
Adams, Jefferson. Madison, Monroe ana
John Adams were statesmen Of truly
rational proportions when chosen to the
Office Of chief magistrate. All bur
Washington and Madison had even DIP
lmnat1c experience In Europe before
gaining the presidency.
with jackson an entirely new type
Of executive began to appear. Jacksoa
came straight from the heart OF democ-
racy. He represented the determina'
ton Of the masses to rule, and It mat
tered little to the people whether or not
he had been trained for high executive
station by adequate experience IN rne
legislative, administrative or diplomatic
services Of the government.
The tremendous popular success OF
the two jackson administration pro
foundry Influenced American politics.
Parties desiring to win elections no
longer placed SO much emphasis upon
long preliminary training In federal az
fairs in selecting presidential cand-
dates.
The Wings trying to repeat the Dem
ocratic success with Jackson, nominat-
ed Gen. Harrison In 1910 and Gen.
Taylor in 1S4S, and both were elected,
although neither was Jackson's equal
in natural personal power as leader
of men. The Wings tried the hero
once more with Gen. Scott and failed.
Then came the Lincoln nomination
by the Republicans in 1860, and LIN
coins destiny has been SO extraordi-
nary that the American people have
been confirmed, II anything, In their
belief that the man Of long preliminary
service in national business Is not al

dency.

Barbara Allen.
English version.)
In Scarlet Town where was born,
There was a fair maid dwelling,
And every youth cried, well away,
And her name was Barbara Allen.
All in the merry month Of May,
When green buds were a-swelling:
Young Jimmie on his death bed lay,
For the love of Barbara Allen.
He sent his man unto her then.
To the town where she did dwell In;
Saying you ride to my master,
II your name be Barbara Allen.
For death is printed on his face,
And over his heart is stealing;
Oh haste away to comfort him,
Oh! you lonely Barbara Allen.
Slowly, slowly, she rose up,
And slowly she came nigh him;
And all she said when there she came:
"Young man, l think you're a-dying.
"Recollect, recollect, recollect young man,
When / boarded at your tavern;
You drank, you walked with the ladiea
round,
And you sighted Barbara Allen"
"Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, oh yes,
When you boarded at my tavern,
I made the health 60 round and round
My love to Barbara Allen"
He turned his face unto her then,
With deadly sorrow signing;
Saying, "Come, pretty maid, and pity mo
For I'm on my death bed lying"
IF you on your death bed lie,
What need the tale you're telling?
No better will you ever be,
For your bonnie Barbara Allen"
As she was cruising over the field,
She heard the death bell knelling;
And every stroke did seem to say,
Unworthy Barbara Allen.
She turned her body round and about,
She spied the corpse a-coming;
Lay down, lay down the man," she said
"And let me gaze upon him."
With sorrowful eye she looked down,
Her cheeks with sorrow swelling;
While her neighbors cried all in a moan
Unworthy Barbara Allen,
When he was dead and in his grave,
She was stricken down with sorrow,
Mother, mother, make my bed,
For l shall die tomorrow.
Mother, mother, 60 dig my grave, \
And dig it both long and narrow:
Young Jimmie has died for me to-day,
I'll die for him tomorrow"
When she on her death bed lay,
She begged to be buried by him;
And sorrowfully rcpented of the day,
She ever did deny him.
Farewell" she said, I'VE virgins all,
And shun the fate I fell in;
Henceforth take warning by the fate,
OF cruel Barbara Allen"
Young Jimmie was buried in one church
yard,
And Barbara in another,
And out of her grave sprung rose
And out of his sprung brier.
They grew and grew to the church top
Until they could grow no higher,
They locked and tied in true love knot
The rosy and the brier.
(Scotch Version.)
1t was in and about Mart'mas time,
When the gren leaves wer a-fallin',
That Sir John Graham, in the west coun'
tries,
Fell in love wi Barbara Allan.

FOX IN A KITCHEN.

Gave Hunters and Hounds Lively
Chase In an English Town.
Some exciting scenes were witnessed
at Stow recently at the meet OF the
Heythrop hounds, according to- the Lon
don Globe.
A fox, on being discovered near Alb.
botswood, proceeded to the town, where
it darted through the open door of a
photographers studio. Being driven
out into the garden, the animal sprang
upon the roof of some low buildings,
thence climbed tie roof Of a house and,
sliding down the opposite slope, leaped
into Park street.
The fugitive then entered house at
the front door, but meeting little girl
half way up the stairs turned tail and
made his way to the kitchen. where
culinary operations were In progress.
The fox mounted the table and scat
tered the crockery with which it was
covered, many articles being smashed
as they fell with a clatter on the floor.
Then, espying an open door, the animal
made quick exit into garden. Hounds
meanwhile had tracked the fox to the
studio, and many went right through
the house and picked up the trail that
led eventually to the garden in which
the fugitive was hiding.
The animal did not give in without
a brave struggle for existence, leading
hounds a chase over successive garden
walls before he gave up his brush.

Rifle in q Tree.

The Beaufort Gazette says: The
hands of Mr.. C. I. Coummins, while
cutting saw logs near Mcpherson
Vile last week, found in the heart
of a tree an old seven-shot rifle with
one she'll in the barrel. 1t is sup
posed that the rifle was hidden by a
Confederate soldier in small hol-
low in the tree, which gradually
closed and concealed the gun entire
ly. The rife Is said to be in an al
most perfect state of preservation,
and, with little oiling, would be nj
for service. The tree in which 1t was
found stood on the old Confederate
camp ground very near the village
of Mcpherson"

TWIN BROTHERS MEET.
In Augusta After Separation Of
Over Seven Years.

A dispatch from Augusta says the
truth of the old saying that "fact
is stranger than fiction" is proved by
a remarkable chance. Frank Ling
ham came to Augusta several months
ago from an Illinois town and en-
gagged board at a well known Broad
street boarding house. He never talk
ed of his family and none Of his fel-
low-boarders knew he had brother.
The other night stranger came to
Augusta and engaged board at the
same place. At supper some one re-
marked to him that he looked enough
like one of the older boarders, who
did not happen to be present, to be
his twin brother. The newcomer
naturally asked the name Of this
dromio and was startled to hear that
it was Lingham. He turned pale and
gasped that he had brother whom
he had not seen or heard from in
seven years.
Several hundred miles from home,
neither perhaps, thinking of the 9TH
er, these two men had come to the
same boarding house, had picked
out the same place out Of the dozens
in the city. Needless to say that
William and Frank Lingham, twin
brothers, had happy meeting, even
though it was entirely unexpected. ="
