Oouqhty General


Doughty General.
When the war OF 1872 was over
vagusp rumors Of peace drifted into
New Orleans. but still Jackson did not
feel justified In revoking the martial
law, under which he had placed the
city. While the city was In this state
this peculiar incident started. A man
named I>ouaillier was tried as being
spy and was acquitted. This dis
pleased Jackson. and feeling that in
the martial law he had complete com.
mnnd Of the city, he, In opposition to
the court, retained Louaillier In prison
and sent Judge Hall out OF the city
with orders not to return until it was
regularly posted that peace had been
declared or that the enemy had left
the coast
The following day came the overdue
notice officially explaining that peace
had been declared and that the treaty
had been ratified Upon bearing this
jackson revoked the martial law ana
set all his prisoners free. Then pre-
pairing to send home the detached mi
litia from Louisiana. Tennessee and
kentucky amid the greetings and dem
onstrations OF the populace, Judge Hail
returned to the city.
In order to uphold the honor. as II
seems Of the civil over the martial gov.
eminent, Judge Hall issued, on March
81, an order summoning Jackson to
court for contempt of habeas corpus
writ and also to state his reason fol
so doing The next day Jackson ap-
peared in court In person. He held q
written protest against the decision
which was to be given.
Hall then imposed a fne Of $1,000.

with short thick trunk which grows
slowly to Il height of ten to twenty
feet. marked by spiral lines or scars
left by fallen leaves and fruit stems.
The leaves resemble large gorgeous
green feathers and are like those Of

are of pure white and very fragrant

A Humorous View Of thu English and

In the American Magazine James
Montgomery Flagg writes humOrOusly
about husbands. Following is an ex-
tract from what he has to say about
the American business husband;
This animal Is very popular and
Justly so. He comes 10 variety Of
colors. white. tan. deep red. notified,
brown, and sometimes green. The
white variety is generally desired.
There Is no animal known that will
take the amount Of abuse and neglect
that this one does, and still be devOt-
ed and affectionate. Hence his popu,
larity. They are limited in intelligence,
their one thought being the collecting
Of money. They will thrive on almost
anything-scraps at the table, few
hot words or anything lying around
the room that comes handy"
OF the English husband he says:
THE march of the centuries has
made no change in this sturdy animal
Their love Of hunting and killing Is
perhaps their most endearing quality.
They will never distress you by com.
ing home bleeding or mangled as they
do not attack animals of their own
size. They will eat anything except
real food properly cooked. This IL
technically known as patriotism. Fan.
ciers In England claim preposterous
human qualities for them. but this
may be laid down to native enthusi-
asm.
