John Augustus O'Shea, in his "Round about Recollections," tells a story of Ale tor Emmanuel, whom he describes as "a squat Hercules ugly to such a degree that his ugliness had the charm of the unique." One day while on a hunting expedition in the Alps, he met an old woman gath ing brambles. She inquired of the stranger whether it was true, as she had heard, that the King of Italy was in the neighborhood. If so, was there any chance of seeing him? "Yes,"" said his majesty, "he is about. Would you really like to see him?" The old woman declared that few sights would give her more pleasure. "Well, mother, I am the King." She stared at him .for a moment and broke into a grin. "Get out with you, jester! Do you think a nice woman like the Queen would marry a chap like you, with that hideous mug?" The King was not offended. Perhr.ps the compliment to his wife mollified him. He gave the woman a piece of money, with which he is always free, aud passed along. St. Louis Republic BILL AEFS LETTER. He Discourses Upon- tlie OfiseryaHce ol Jacison's- Day And Eecounts Some of the Deeds of Val lor of the Hero of New Orleans. Just seventy-eight years ago t onlay, (January eighth) there was fought a memorable battle, the most ex traordinary perhaps, that is recorded in the 'annals of all history. It was not a very great battle.for there were only 18,000 men engaged. It did not last but forty minutes.and yet its re sults were wonderful, and their influence is felt to this day, and will continue to be felt as long as this government exists. If that b ittle had been fought in old England or New England, or in any other northern state of this Union, it would have been celebrated in story and ix song by orators and poets,and been alandmart in history, a beacon light of courage and pa triotism and generalship as bright and as en during as Hohenlinden or Thermopvlxe or Bunker's Hill. , But it was fought at New Orleans, away down nouth in Dixie, by southern men, who were un der the ban the ban of tolerating and defend ing slavery the ban of being barbarians. Tbt federalists of New England had opposed tin war with England, and they gave only a reluc tant praise to Jackson for his Victory, for the feared that it would make him popular with the masses who were fast settling up the west cm states. And it did. The victory was a amazing, bo unexpected. 6,000 southern men armed with old-fashioned rifles, and unexperi enced in modern warfare, pitted against 12, 000 Eoglich troops, the flower of Wellington' army, that had just a few months before cor quered Napoleon and retired him from Paris ' Elba; and yet these rough, untrained soldier did. in forty minutes, kill 2,600 of tho enem and put the rest to flight, and lost only eight killed and thirteen wounded of their own side AVhero does history record such a victory There was no fooling about that business. Thoso riflemen hadn't hunted bear and wolves and cat amounts and shot squirrels' eyes out all their, lives for nothing. Their fathers had fought o!d England in the Revolution ry war, and the sons had no love for tho Britishers. Wash ington city, the capital of tho Union, was then in the hands of the British, but these southern patirots echoed Jackson's oath when lie swore by the eternal they should not take New Orleans. He had already driven them from Penaacola and Mobile, and had scattertc the Indians from hill and hollow and blown uj a fort with 300 runaway negroes in it negroes 1 that the British were not only protecting, bu 1 were inciting to a merciless warfare upon th. families of the absent soldiers. ; Wonderful man that Jackson, for he had to fight foes without and foes within. There was no telegraph to bring him orders from Wash ington, and when the mail brought them in , the old-fashioned stage he had already done ' what they forbade or what they commanded. It made but little difference to him. He con sidered his commission as major general in command of the southern division, as a "carte blanche" to do just as he pleased for the public good and he did it. Ho was king aud auto crat. General Winfield Scott reported him as mutineer for not obeying orders, and he de-. nounced Scott as a carrion-fed buzzard, am then challenged him. He would fight anybodv in defense of his own honor or that of a wo iman. He never allowed any reputable woman 1 to be maligned in his presence, not even by t : hint or a whisper. He broke up his cabinet be cause Mr3. John C. Calhoun and Mrs. Berrien refused to associate with Mrs. Eaton. He was always 6low to believe charges against a woman. Jackson was the first nullifier, for he absolute ly refused to execute the mandates of the su preme court unless they coincided with hv views. When the state of Georgia refused to recognizo the claims of the Indians within her borders and was in open conflict with the fed 'eral government, Jackson withdrew tho troops and swore by tho eternal that the red-handed, blood-licking Indians should have no state within a statol He had been fighting Indians for years, and knew their treachery and their brutality. But he was a great, big-hearted, noble man a diamond in the rough. He raced, he bet, he gambled, he Bwore and he fought duels, he was always for the oppressed and the helpless, and always the protector and the defender of woman. Even if her hus band was the oppressor, he sought a quarrel with him about it, and generally got satisfaction in some way. What a will he had, and what a will power over men even such men as Tom Benton and Cass and Blair and Chief Justice Taney. Ho was the first president who said turn the rascals out and he turned them. From 1789 to 1829 there had been but seventy-four removals from office, but Jackson turned out 2,000 the first .year of his presidential service. Ho determined to break up the United States bank, because he said it was being used for plunder and political purposes, and so he ordered McLean, the secre tary of the treasury, to remove the deposits. McLean declined. , So he removed McLean and appointed Duane. At the last moment, Duane declined because it was illegal. He removed him and appointed Roger B. Tanev, and he re moved them, and all the people said amen. Hi declared afterwards that, if Taney had failec him, he would have removed the deposits him self, ne was as determined as Cromwell, when he once made up his mind. He and Sam Hous ton and Davy Crockett had fought together and bunked together, and a hundred times imperiled their lives in fighting Indians and Spaniards and tho British, and they were all of the same stripe and type, and had a measure of contempt, for courts and laws and for the aristocracy o?t wealth, ne put New Orleans under martial law, and the judge fined him $5,000. He put the judge in jail and kept on his course as though nothing had happened. When Florida belonged to Spain, and was occupied by lawless people from different countries and disorder was universal and hideous, Jackson wrote to President Monroe for leave to go down there and regulate tho concern. Ho didn't get a iu ply and concluded it ought to be done anyhow, notwithstanding that Spain owned the country, and so he organized a little army of 2.500 southern men, and marched there and turned the Spanish rascals out of their own offices in San Augustine and St. Marks, and arrested every outlaw and killed every hostile Indian b.y could find and hung some Englishmen because they couldn't give a good account of what the; were doing and. within a year, Spain got tired of demanding satisfaction for his out rageous invasion and sold the state to the United States government. But this i3 enough of Jackson: He lived lonjr and he lived much. His whole life wa3 markec by truthfulness, integrity and courage. Ni wonder that the good people of New Orleans celebrate this day, and tlms hand down from generation to generation the memory of one of the most remarkable victories ever achieved. I love to read about it and to contemplate it, for it was all the heroism of southern people people whose sons fought at Shiloh and Cor inth and Yicksburg. And it is a comfort to know that, although Jackson left no children, yet the son of hi3 adopted son served in tha confederate army, in which he was a colonel. Now, let the boys read up Jackson and pon der him, and avoid his errors and imitate his virtues. It will. -ptrtrcps, surprise them to find that tbis great battle was fought just two weeks after peace had been made at Ghent, a city in Belgium, but thera wa no telegraph or suIk marine cable then to bring the news. If there had been, then 2. C00 livs would have been saved, and, perhaps. Jackson would have died without becoming famous. It will bring a glow to tneir soutnern prtnotram to Know mat the men who fought under Jackson were the fathers and grandfathers of the same men who, only 700,000 strong, ail told, did for four long year3 fight against 3,000,000 of tbeirfoes in the late unhappy war. And the noithern toys who are growing up ought to read it, and be proud that they have such countrymen countrymen who can be relied upon by our government whenever we have a foreign foe to meet. One thing moro to be remembered: That General rakenhara, who was in command, was th brother-in-law of the duke of Willington, and the duke said he was the best general that h had in the war against Napoleon. This Pakeu ham was killed at New Orleans. Boys, think of it and whenever you hear the yankees bra?, ging, do you brag too. Bill Arp in Atlanlij Constitution. SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL. " Most sheep die before they arc a year old. A vast mine of superior fire-clay has bcea discovered in Vincennes, Ind. A method of compressing wood, so that it becomes a3 hard as iron, has been discovered. An eminent authority ha3 it that the death rate of the world is calculate! to be sixty-seven per minute. It has been observed that the children of very young parents rarely attain vigor of mind or body, while the children of aged parents are usually old-fashioned and sedate. . According to a paper recently read before the Statistical Society in Paris, there are in use in France 78,600 steam engines, having a total of 5.360,0J0 horse-power. . Dr. Morris Gibb3 contribute? to Science an interesting paper on the food of humming birds both old and young, but has never found anything to con vince him the birds live on insects. - It has been found by Dr. Riley that the larvae of both the bean and the pe weevil when hatched have thoracic feet and other structures which admirably serve their needs of locomotion until they enter the bean or pea, when with a cast of the skin they are discarded, and the grubs assume the ordinary footless shape of larval weevils. The rerort of a commission ap ointel at the instance of the Massachusetts Railroad Commission for the determina tion of the best form of fender for use on electric cars contains a recommenda tion of the invention of a master me chanic of the Boston West End Railway. Two hundred and eleven fenders were submitted to the Commission. Electric heaters are found to be ex cellent for use in conservatories on ac count of the absence of all unwhole some gases or vapors which might injure the plants, simplicity of construction in the parts conveying the energy, perfect safety as regards ' heat, which can bo regulated at will, cleanliness and con venience and rapidity in starting and ex tinction. The increasing value of effective in sulators in electrical work causes ini portance to be attached to the statement that india rubber will soon be made commercially. The discovery made by Dr. II. A. Tildin, some months ago, that isoprene, which can be prepared from turpentine, under certain condi tions changes into what appears to be genuine rubber, hasbeen followed up by experiments, the result of which points to an early utilization of the new pro cess.

" Castoria is an excellent medicine for chil dren. Mothers have repeatedly told me of its good eHect upon their children." Da. G. C. Osgood, Lowell, Mass. " Castoria is the best remedy for children of which I am acquainted. I hope the day is not far distant when mothers will consider the real interest of their children, and use Castoria in stead of the various quack nostrums which are destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium, morphine, soothing syrup and other hurtful agents down their throats, thereby sending them to premature graves."
