A Davy Crockett Letter.


An interesting political letter of David
Crockett recently appeared in a Philadel-
phia~ autograph sale. 1t is dated Washing
ton, December Is, 1884.
Davy was then a representative in con-
gress from Tennessee, having been elected
as a Jacksonian democrat. His independ-
ence of party bosses, however, had led to
q break with no less a power than Andrew
Jackson, president Of the United States.
The letter is addressed to Charles Schultz,
and is denunciatory of Jackson and Mar
tin Van Buren,. This is part of the letter
verbatim, Crockett spelling, grammar,
capitalization, etc:
The tine has Come that men is expect
ed to be transferable and as negotiable as
a promisary note of hand, In those days of
Glory ard-JackSon & reform & II
tie Vann Sits in his chair and looks as sly
as a red fox and l have no doubt but that
he thinks. Andrew jackson has full
power to transfer the people of these
United States at his will and I am truly
afraid that "a majority Of the free citizens
OF these united States Will submit to it
and say amen jackson done 1t. and is
right If we judge by the past we can
make no other calculations l have al
most given up the Ship as lost. l have
gone SO far as to declare that if he Mar
tin Vanburen Is elected that / will leave
the united States for l never will live UNI
der his Kingdom before ! will submit to
his government ] will go to the wilds Of
Texas. I VIII consider that government a
paradise to what this will be. Our
Republican government has d%windled al
most into insigniicance. our boosted land
OF liberty have almost Bowed to the Yoke
of Bondage. There is more Slaves
IN New York and Pennsylvania than there
is In Virginia and South Carolina and
they are the meanest kind Of slaves"
Davy did just what he declared he
would do. He left the United states and
went to Texas to aid in her fight for in
dependence. His death In the Alamo,
March 6. 1886. took place ten months after
Van Buren, had been unanimously nomi-
mated for the presidency.

Merchants Visit milwaukee,

ms is the season when merchants
the North west are turning to
milwaukee for their spring and summer
stock. Milwaukee jobbers and manu-
iactnrers have in turn prepared for the
occasion: A visit to the metropolis Of
Wisconsin will repay those who intend
to purchase their stock of spring goods
or place an order for machinery in any
OF the renowned factories.
Milwaukee iohhers deserve the patron
age of the business men of this CITY.
They offer good goods and as splendid a
display ut right prices as can be found
anywhere. Tn absolute superiority of
the product 9i Milwaukee's manufac-
lures is known throughout the world.
The reduction of the railroad fare to two
cents a mile has brought Milwaukee
more closely in touch with merchants
generally who may now travel ut a mini
mum cost with maximum profit. While

Milwaukee Association of Jobbers and

COAL PILES WORTH A MILLION.
Enough Anthracite Stored sat Shady
side, N. d, TO Last for Years.

SA&A
Did you ever see q million dollars
worth Of coal? Re not, take a trip
across the Hudson to Shadyside, n. r.,
some day and feast your eyes on 200.-
900 o of anthracite that the New
York Edison company has stored up
there against a rainy day.
Perhaps 1t isn't the biggest Goa pile
in the world-the owners do not say it
is-but it certainly is tho biggest to be
found In this vicinity. and few persons,
comparatively speaking, have ever seen
q bigger one. To be exact. 1t Is two
coal plies and part of a third. The only
reason 1t is not In one pile is that the
limit of standard coal handling ma
chinery was reached before half of the
coal was piled up. and the company
simply had to start a second pile.
A million doiars' worth of coal is
not as interesting to look at as q mill
lion dollars worth of diamonds would
be, perhaps, but it occupies a whole
lot more of the landscape and is worth
just as much in real money. Roughly
estimated, each of the two piles that
form the basis of the Edison COM
pany's 200. 900 ton is about the size OF
q full city block and about as high as a
four-story house with a mansard roof.

When Grover Cleveland was practfc-

was a lazy young lawyer who was
forever Fostering him with questions
about legal points that he could just
as well have looked UP for himself.
Even Cleveland's patience had an end.
One day as his friend entered he re-
marked:
There are my books. Help yourself
to them. You can look up your own
case"
The lazy lawyer stared at him in
amazement.
See here, Grover Cleveland" he
said Indignantly, II want you to under
stand that you and your old books can
go to thunder. You know very well that
I don't read law. I practice entirely by

Mississippi Jetties Completed,

The new jetties at the mouth of the
Mississippi river, the construction of
which was commenced four GEARS ago,
are now practically completed, and will
give the South one of the deepest harbors
in the world by opening to the access of
the largest steamships afioat the 100 and
20Ofoot depths of the lower Mississippi
They consist of two parallel walls, one
about three and the other about four
miles long, lying over half a mile apart
and built in the shoal water at the juno
ture of the Southwest Pass with the Gulf
of Mexico. The swift current which they
have produced, aided by dredging, has
caused such a tremendous scour as to al
ready make from 30 to So feet Of water
in some places where at the beginning of
the work the depth was but little over
mans head. The jetties have no founda-
ton, but rely for their stability upon their
extremely broad bases, being from 100 to
80 feet wide at the bottom They are
capped by sea wall about 4 feet high
1t is expected. however, that the whole
structure will gradually sink until this
concrete wall is entirely submerged. The
cost was but little short of 100000.
