TALKS ABOUT . THE BATTLE OF
- "NEW ORLEANS.
Just seventy -eight years ago today,
there was fought a memorable battle
the most extraordinary, 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 .results were
wonderful, and their, influence is Jelt
to this day," and will continue to be
ielf as long as this government ex
ists. If that battle had been fought
in old England or New England, or
in any. other nothern State of this
Union, it would have been celebrated
in story and in song by orators and
poets, and been a landmark in history
a beacon light of , courage and pa
triotism and . generalship as bright
and as enduring as Hohenlinden or
Thermopylae or Bunker's Hill.
But it was fought at New Orlearns,
away down south in Dixie, by south
ern men who were under the ban of
tolerating and defending slavery
the ban of being -barbarians. The
federalists of New England had op
posed the war with England, and they
gave only a reluctant praise to Jack
son for his victory for they feared
that it would make him popular with
the masses who were fast settling up
the western States. And it did. The
victory was so amazing, so unexpec
ted 6,ooq southern men, armed with
old-lashion rifles and inexperienceel
in modern wareiare, pitted against
12,000 English troops, the. flower of
Wellington's army, that had just a
few months before conquered Napo
leon and retired him from Paris to
Elba ; and yet these rough, untrained
soldiers did, ' in forty -minutes, kill 2,
600 of the enemy and put the rest to
flight, and ost only .eight killed and
thirteen wounded of their side. Where
does history record "such a victory?
There is no fooling about ..that busi
ness. These riflemen hadent hunted
bear and wolves and catamounts and
shot squirrels' eyesout all their lives
for nothing. Their fathers had fought
old England in the revolutionary war,
and their sons had no love for the
Britishers. Washington city, the capi
tal of the Union, was then in posses
sion of the British, but these south
ern patriots echoed Jackson's oath
when he swore by the eternal they
should not take New Orleans. He
had already driven them from Pensa-'
cola and Mobile, and had scattered
the Indians from bill to hollow and
blown "up a fort with 300 runaway
negroes in it negroes that the Brit
ish were not only protecting, but
were inciting to a merciless warfare
upon the families of the absent sol
diers . -
Wonderful man that Jackson, for
he had to fight foes without and foes
within. There was . no telegraph to
bring him orders from Washington,
anil when the mail brought them in
the old-fashioned stage he bad al
ready done what he forbade or what
they commanded. It made but little
difference to him. He considered
his commission as major general in
command pf the southern 'division, as
a "carte" blanche" to ,lo just as he
pleased for the public good and he
did it. He was king and autocrat.
General Winfield Scott reported him
as a mutineer for not obeyingorders,
and he denounced Scott as a carrion
fed r buzzard, and then, challenged
him. r He would fight every jbody in
defense of his own honor or that of a
woman. He never allowed any, repu
table woman to be . maligned in his
presence, not" everi by. a hint or a
whisper. He broke up his cabinet
because Mrs. JohnJ C. Calhdun and
Mrs. Berrien refused :to associate
with Mrs. Eaton. He was always
slow to believe charges againt a wo
man. Tackson was the first nullifies
for he absolutely refused to execute
the mandates of the supreme -court
unless they coincided with his views.
When the State of Georgia refused
to recognized the claims of the Indians
within her borders and was in open
conflict with the iederal government.
J ackson withdrew the ; troops and 1
swore by the eternal that the red
handed, blood-licking Indians should
have no state within a state. He had
been : fighting Indians for years, and
knew their t treachery and their bru-
tality. But he was a great, big
hearted, - noble man ra diamond in
the rough. , He raced, he bet, he
5 am bled he swore and he fought
uels, but he was always for the op
pressed and the helpless, and always
the protector and the defender of
woman. Even if her husband 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 Benton
and Cass and Blair and Chief Justice
Taney. He was the first president
who said turn the rascals out and he
turned them.. . From 1789 to 1829
there had been but seventy-four ' re
movals ifom office, but Tackson ;
turned out 2,000 the first year of his
residential service.. He determined
to break up4he JUnited States Jaank,
- . . . TT . lf... t 1
be&use he said it was tjemgr used tor
plunder and political purposes, and :
so he ordered McLean, the secretary
of the treasury, to remove the de-1
posits. McLean declined. So he .
removed McLean and appointed j
Duane. At the last moment, Duane .
declined because it was illegal. - He
removed him and appointed Jloger
B. Taney, and he removed them, and
all thopeople said amen. - He de
clared afterwards that, if Taney had
Jailed him, he would have removed
the doposits himself. He was de
termined as Cromwell,; when he once
made up his -mind. He and Sam
Houston and Davy Crockett had
fought toeether and bunked together,
j and a hundred times imperiled their
lives in fighting Indians and i Span
iards and the British,. and they were
all of the samestrine and-type, and
had a measure of contempt for courts
and Jaws ana lor tne aristocracy 01
wealth. He put New Orleans under
martial law, and the judge fined him
$5,000. He put the judge -m jail and
kept on his course as though nothing
had happened. When Florida be
longed to Spain, and was occupied
by lawless people from ; different
countries, and disorder was universal
and hideous. Tackson wrote to
President Monroe for leave to go
down there and regulate the concern.
He dident get a reply, and concluded
it ought to be one anyhow, notwith
standing that Spain -owned the coun
try, and so he organized a little army
2,500 southern men, and marched
there and turned the Spanish rascals
out of their own offices' in San Agus
tine and St. Marks, and arrested
every outlaw and killed every hostile
Indian he could find and hung some
Englishmen because they; couldn't
give a good account ot wnat tney
were doiner and, within a year,
Spain got tired of demanding satis
faction fbr his outrageous invasion
and sold the State to the United
States government. ,
But this is enough of Jackson. He
lived long, and lived much. His
whole life was marked by truthfulness,
integrity and courage, No wonder
that the good people of New Orleans
celebrate - this day, and thus hand
down from generation to generation
the memory of - one of the most re
markable victories ever acchieved. I
love to read about it and contemplate
it, for it was all the heroism of south
em people people whose sons
fought at Shiloh and .Corinth and
Vicksburg. And " it is a cqmfort to
know that although Jackson left no
children, yet the son of his adopted
son served in the confederate army, in
which he was a colonel. r
Now let the boys read up Jackson
and ponder him, and avoid his errors
and imitate his virtues. It will per
haps surprise them to find that this
great battle wf s fought just two weeks
after peace had been made at Ghent,
a city in Belgium, but- there was no
telegraph or submarine cable then
to bring news. If there had been,,
then 2,600 lives would have been
saved, and, perhaps Jackson would
have died without becoming famous.
It will bring a glow to their southern
patriotism to know that the men who
fought under Jackson were the fath
ers and grandfathers of the same men
who, only 700,000 strong, all told,
did for" four long years fight against
3.000,000 of their loes in the late un
happy war. .

PERSONATED A DEAD MAX.
A Hotel Best PasierHlmKelf' Off as Count
... AreoTallejr - :
He was abont thirty-six years old,
says the New York World, . fairly
good-looking, wore a brown check
ulster derby haj;, ? and - spoke with "a
German accent as he took up. a pen,
and, in a big round hand, registered
atthe Victoria, about 6 o'clock last
evening'as "Count Arcb, Washing
ton, D. C". "Just on here 4pr -the
night.- Am going to the Patriarch's
Ball," said the stranger to the clerk
as he exhibited an invitation purport
ing to have been signed by Ward
McAllister. "Please ; give me, the
best rooms you have in the'Jhouse,"
continued the visitor. "If I like them
I ; may stay
with you. I dosd
some' - time
love New York,
Great city, pretty girls, lots of sport,
eh ?" and he jabbed his umbrella ;Jk
the clerk's breast and chuckled.
The man behind the'desk- delight
ed to serve a guest of such distinc
tion, banged away at the bell, shouted
"Front," and a half-dozen boys
tumbled ' bverl one 'another in their
anxiety to .get a tip from the tlistin-guished-looking
foreigner.
"Any baggage, Count ?" asked the
clerk politely. -
..'Valet on the way; , . Brings trunks,
money, clothes and ' other " things,
had to' hurry to catch train. Couldn't
wait. By the way, am a little short.
You will . lend me fifty or so' until
Hans comes, won't you ?'
Certainly, Count, (charmed to do
it of course," and the clerk hurried
to the monyTdrawer and was count
ing - out the bills when Proprietor,
Henry L. Hoyt strolled in.
"Count Arco Valley, German' Min
ister at Washington, " Mr. ' Hoyt,"
said the'clerk. . ;He is just in. Go
ing to the Patriarchs' ball His valet
with i money is on the way. The
Count is a little short and asks a small
loan; It is? all right I ; persume ?"
"Certainly.! Certainry. 4 Glad to ac
comodate you," answered Bonifice
Hoyt, "Rooms suit you ? . Ah,
there you are, Count." and Mr. Hoyt
seized the $50 from the hands of his
clerk- and placed the billsinXthe
stranger's hands. The Count stepped
into the elevator and was sent up to
a luxuriously furnished suite. A
half hour later an attendent called to
ask if anything was- desired. The
rooms were ! empty. Perhaps
an hour Boniface Hoyt became
picious that all was not right
after
valet had arrived and the stranger
had disappeared. Then - it suddenly
dawned upon him that Count - Arco
Valley had been dead for nearly two
years. Mr. Hoyt was'angry enough
to kill a dozen counts when he re
called this fact" "'
- He sent for ' police and detectives
were placed on the' track of the swin
dler. He was traced to the Windsor,
where ! he had again registered by
the name of the late German Minis
ter. '
He told - a story similar to that
given at the Victora, and was as
signed to parlors I and Q on the first
floor.- After informing the clerk of
his alleged predicament the "Count"
requested a loan of $25. He was po
litely informed that the rules of the
hotel prohibited lending money to
strangers.
"All right," said the fellow. "I'm
off for the ball. Valet be here to
night. Take good care of him. ' So
long." ' . . .
The Count jumped into a cab and
was driven rapidly up Fifth avenue.
The police are hunting for him. At
neither the Victoria nor the Windsor
did they have 1 any idea of his
idenity : J .
, He said something to an attendant
about going to the Racquet ; Club
before going to the ball and asked
where it was. But he has not been
seen since.

An Awful Coincidence.'
One of those horrible mistakes which
not infrequently upset a commtmity
occurred here this week. For some time
Miss Margaret McNamara, the elocution
ist, has been arranging for a spectacular
entertainment", its subject being the late
Lord Tennyson's ,"A Dream- of Fair
Women." -Thirty-five girls, her - pupils,;
were cast for the parts which ran from
"Mother Goose" upward. J.t was adver
tised tnat tne story would be told by a
dreamer between the tableaux,' and that
the players would be clad in the clinging
draperies of Greece 8,000 years ago. The
whole thing was to be given for the
benefit of , a worthy charity, and so
gained widespread indorsement. In an
evil hour the Lfllie day Gayety company
made an adjacent date at the Court
Square theater." This trpnf, too, was an
Adamlesa Eden concern, going so far a
to carry a property womari. Now Lillie's
piece de resistance was "A Dream of
Fair Women," and that line had long
been carried in flaming letters at thetop
Of all the printing. Naturally enough,
the populace got the two entertainments
mixed, and fully a score of young men
got into a hopelesB quagmire by steering
fair Sunday school . teachers they were
escorting into Lillie Clay's "dream."
TLdllie's performance that night was
not as placid as usual, it is Baid, it being
the first occasion oh which it ever played
to more than three women at the same
time in its career. The snowy steed
galloped proudly into the mountains of
Tartary with Mazeppa upon his back,
while the : corseted cream of Tartary
came down to the footlights with very
tall spears and stockings to match. The
McNamara and Euripides aggregation
gave a creditable , entertainment, but
Lillie's display was much larger and
more varied. Springfield Cor. New

v Stage Realism Indeed.
We have "real water" in the tank
shows and genuine meals' in the banquet
scenes oh the stage, and now we shall
have "real dirt" for rural scenes if some
playwrightwill but follow the sugges
tion of Miss Annie Lewis, the popular
soubrette. Said Miss Lewis to an inter
viewer: . . .
"Here's an idea I've just given Messrs.
Litt and Davis for a scene in a new play.
The villain has robbed a bank. Mounted
officers pursue him. Before he appears
the heroine's father, a farmer, plows a
furrow with a real plow across the en
tire width of the stage in real soil; he is
plowing again when he is stopped by
villain. Villain asks for horses to escape.
Farmer refuses. " Villain, desperate,
strides farmer with a wrench hanging to
plow. Farmer falls. Villain with knife
cuts traces. Mounts horse. Gallops off.
Officers rush on, see villain and start
after him. Scene changes again. Villain
gallops on, falls from horse and is cap
tured. Curtain. . Great, isn't itf
It is truly great, but not so wildly and
brilliantly original as the idea of a bud
ding young dramatist of The Scimetar's
acquaintance. Be has constructed a fire
scene, in which real flames are to ravage
the interior of a mansion. It is of no
use to point out to him that when his
scene is produced realism may become
reality. He says, with the easy-insouciance
of genius, that the burning of the
theater would only-enhance the effect.

- A Happy Accident.
." What is known as the cold rolled proc
ess has worked a revolution in the manu
facture of steel, but, strange to sitv, its
invention was largely the result of an
accident. Its inventor, Bernard Lauth,
who is now living in retirement at How
ard, Pa., is a native of Germany, born in
1820. When he was about eleven years
old his parents came to this country, set
tling in Pittsburg, where he found em
ployment in a rolling mill. He started
at the lowest position in the mill and
worked his way through all the different
grades to that Of boss roller. , . ' , ;
With the money that he had, saved as
a boss roller, in company with seven
working companions, he built a small
iron works at Zanesville, O., but-in 1852
returned to Pittsburg and opened the
establishment which has since grown
into one of the greatest steel plants in
the world.
Mr" Lauth one day in examining some
steel which 'it "was supposed had been
spoiled in the rolling discovered, greatly
to his surprise, that it was of a superior
quality and finish. He began a quiet investigation,-
and as a result perfected
what is known as the cold rolled process.
The invention yielded the inventor and
those who were interested with him mil
liomrof dollars. New York Herald.
A Good Cincinnati Doff.:
A gentleman with a handsome equi
page, followed by-a fine Rngliflh .mastiff,
drove up in front of a hostlery the other
day, and jumping from his buggy
snapped the hitchstrap into the ring of
his horse's bit and then placed the other
end of the strap in the mouth of his
mastiff, which by this time had seated
himself on the curbstone. There the
mastiff sat like a statue of stone, hold
ing the strap securely while his master
went in to 'see a man." On the 'gentle
man's exit the dog yielded up the strap
and the gentleman drove off, closely fol
lowed byjthe faithful, four legged lackey.

over and over again: '!Well, I wish the

disappointed, for the nomenclature of

The Statnre of Adam and Eve.
"I see that some distinguished anthro
pologist has figured out that Adam was
128 feet tall," said Dick Godwin, a cloth
salesman with headquarters at the Lin
dell. "I am sorry the old man is dead.
I would like to sell him a carload of
cloth for a pair of trousers. Eve, ac
cording to this believer in Edenio Brob
dingnagians, was 118 feet from her dainty
pink toes to the top fluff of her blond
bangs. And this pair of gigantic epi
cures divided an apple between theml
It were" equal to Mrs. Parvemi making
two bites of a cherry. Eve's neck must
have been at least six feet long, and her
mouth an opening -of a linear yard! She

ate daughters transport a wad of spruce
gum. Think of poor Adam trying to fill
that mouth with caramels at one dollar

that the industrious theory builder is

giants. Instead of man degenerating
physically he s steadily improving. Re

the concluska is reached that Adam was
128 feet tall apply the true theory of
progression instead or tne raise one 01
retrogression and" we have for our

Happiness In Hell.
- "Happiness in Hell" is the startling
title of an articlo contributed by Mr. St.
George'TkCvart to The Nineteenth Cen
tury, wherein the writer endeavors to
attack the authoritative sources, "the
Catholic doctrine," on this subject." The
once universal conception of eternal
physical sufferings suggested in Dante's
famous line, "Leave every hope behind,
ye who enter here," is traced by Mr,
vart to the necessarily coarse symbol
of early': times.. In the view of w!
this writer regards as ? 'the most auth
itative and dogmatic Christian t
ing," these sufferings lie mainly in
sciousness of having lost "the bea
vision. Even for- the worst of those who
inhabit "that obscure sojourn," the
church, according to his ingenious soph
istry, holds that existence is acceptable
and is by them preferred to nonexist
ence. ... ' - -
Mr. St. George Mi vert concludes witlr
the extraordinary passage? "Hell in its
widest sense namely, as including all
those blameless souls who do not efoy
that vision must vbe cbnsidered'as for
them an abode of happiness transcend
ing all our most vivid anticipations,)
that man's natural capacity for happi
ness is there gratified to the very ntmost,
nor is-it even possible for .the Catholic
theologian of the most severe and rigid
school to deny that, thus considered,
there is, and there will for all eternity
be, a real and true happiness in hell."

In Steglitz, a suburb of Berlin, a
drinking club is arranging a long dis
tance walk (it will probably be a roll)
from Berlin to Vienna, which is to take
place next May. It is called a "beer
journey," each competitor being pledged
to call at every saloon, hotel or restau
rant on the road and drink at least one
glass of beer. The winner is to be that
individual who has emptied - the most
pots and reachedTVienna in the shortest
time. Vienna beer drinkers are invited
to join the race" from their city on the
same conditions. A good sum of money
has already been collected in the club
for this most intellectual and noble end,
the members meeting weekly to discuss
the matter. Berlin Letter. .
