'. v ' - WILMINGTON. N. C. 1 THURSDAY, JANUARY 14. 1897. ANDREW JACKSON. Andrew Jackson was born In North Carolina In Union county, in 1767.; He was a most extraordinary man, ofle of the superlative ,! (figures in American history. In thepentury Magazine for January, there is a brief paper of re markable Interest concerning Jackson. It shows how the great Napoleonj :the foremost of all men of genius for nine teen centuries, was greatly moved, by the victory of Jackson in the bkttH of Npw Orleans, and for the first .'time Jackson'-sj own account of the battle is published. ; "We verily believe that of all battles this was the greatest achievement the circumstances consld ered. Read the article referred to and you will probably agree'rwith us. The virtnrv was so complete, so extraorai - nary, so almost incredible that Napo leon was stagsered and at first refused to believe the accounts. It Is no won "iter that the British soldiers refused to charge a fhirdtime sayinf'liritisn soldiersTiave no chance against Amer . leans who shoot as these do."- In one hour over 2.100 were -killed .or, wounded most desperately so by less than 1,500 riflemen. There were 6.000 Brit ish massed in array of "two companies in front and over 100 files deep, and thy were swept away with the results given. Jackson's account Is singularly free from braggadocio, but is clear. simple and impressive. " No one now either questions the high patriotism, the unique courage or the real ability ofAhdrew Jackson. -Only the other day that extreme northern republican, high, protection, gold stand ard, organ. The New York Mail and Ex press, began an editorial with these words: "Andrew Jackson never had a brain pulse nor a heart throb that was discordant with the American spir it as embodied and -expressed in the Union and constitution. In rugged and - uncompromising patriotism and loy alty he illustrated the inspiring and ele .vating influence of the political instr .tutions which he so vigorously and vic- ' toriously defended in ' cabinet - and 1 camp." 1 He was a man of the people, like Lincoln, and believed in them; to the- end. He was one of the two or nhree absolutely unique, colossal ' figures in American history. "Washington, Jack .son and Lincoln stand out supreme. : pure, original, massive, towering in - their proportions above their greatest fellows. PMew Orleans has erected a ;. fine bronze statue toj the hero of the great battle named af ter that city. Jackson says that . the British force was 6,000 veterans,1 and his ojwn about i" 6,000 but composed of many sorts reg ulars, volunteers, negroes, etc. The ' fighjting was Almost altogether done by less than 1,500 riflemen on his side. , The cotton bale oreastworics, nave no men tion in his account. The riflemen wjere behind hastily extemporfzed works made of lo.gs, two and a half feet high In youth as in manhood he had no sense of fear. Self reliant and aspiring he was the earnest of men. Mr. Alfred H. Lewis, the brilliant correspondent of the New York Journal, recently gave a verv sf rikiner sketch- of Jackson. The whole is excellent and most spirited "We give a bit from it and most reada ;. We: !':-. ' ' "'Jackson was 'born in the Waxhaw spttlements: North Carolina, in ltw His mother's name before marriage : was Hutchinson, and both she :vd Jackson1 pere came from the north of lretanp. iney. were ocuicn-msii, na tives of Carrlckfergus. Presbyterians and weavers of linen. Andrew's father died three days before the coming judge, general, statesman, was born. The poverty of Andrew's mother during his whole youth was Of the sort called utter. He had two brothers, six and three years older than he, named Hugh . and Robert. They i Went to work as farm hands at an early age, and are presumed to have filially farmed them- selves from youth to manhood, man I hood old age, old age to the grave. , At any rate, no one ever, caught them disturbing history in the slightest de gree.. l ' "Andrew Jackson grew up, sandy haired, gray-eyed, slight in form and 'sickly as to health. He was intensely nervous, honest, impulsive, Inveterate. He hated and he loved. He did both as few people ever do. His vibrant nature - made it impossible to do too much for a friend, too much to an enemy. No - one was indifferent to him. He was a foe or close to Jackson's heart. His" courage ' was absolute, and he always told the truth. . If a man always tells the truth, he might better be a good fighter. If he isn't he'll get killed tell ing some particular truth some day. - Well, Jackson was as indomitable a 'fighter as ever stripped for contest. It was: as well. He would otherwise have been ploughed under in the first public 1 year of his career. . . -I "He was in most things contradictory. Nowhere could you Jmd. a sterner na ture nor a tenderer heart. The man whocoldly 6hot down young Dickinson without a, quiver of the eyelid or the tremor oft a hand, dressed himself at 2 o'clock in the morning to go out in the r.v'sleet and rain and bring in a bleating if lamb. He died June 8,1845, at the age ! 'of 78. Just before he died Preacher ! 1 Edgar asked him what he would have done with Calhoun and the nullifiers i if they had gone on. The old fighter's i eye flamed in an Instant, and his nos trils expanded like a racer's: "Hanged" them, sir, as high a Ha fnan. i They should have been a terror io traitors for all time.-' .' North - "Carolina should honot the memory of this illustrious son more il lustrious than other me born upon her soil. The south should cherish the name and services of po true and; so great a man. . Others might waver 'and be unfaithful, but where Andrew Jack ! son stood was always ' known. His ' more virulentnemies neither doubted ; his wjll- power, his inflexible courage, j nis perfect honesty nor his lofty sense of : patriotism.': He Was really great in war , and great In peace a born soldier, 'a born leader of men. He was simple, plain,' unfaltering, -equal to any calam ity brl trial or vicissitude of fortune. 1 llOMK FOLKS. the opinion' of other men of his party - in saying that Governor Russell is "de termined o be a good governor." If . he does the. intelligent and fair minded democrats will freely accord him all he merits. North Carolina needs equal laws, i just .Jaws, economic government and fair dealing all around. It is the 'inconsiderate, .the thought less who are carried away by every new -wind of doctrine, and by imported "isms' and "fads" and follies from Yankeedoodledom. Conservatism, mak ing haste slowly much ? more distin- guish thoughtful people than rashness of action and quixotic: wind-mill per formances whether it be education or woman suffrage, or woman rights, or the new woman or both sexes in) the same colleges and universities or com pelling all parents to send their jchll den to school. In old times in Massa chusetts and -Connecticut a man who kissed his wife on Sunday was punish ed or fined. Paul Pryism .is not popular in the south and we hope never) will be. It is quite as much the part of the state to compel all people to wash their hands three times a day or "say peir prayers" three times a aay. or go iu church on Sunday or. vote. in elections. or work ten hours a day or put their children to work at six years of age as to compel education.' It is paternalism run to seed. : Thetz is a larg demjeratie element that is in sympathy with Governor Russell's view of the lease of the North Carolina railroad under the circum stances. Another very intelligent and patriotic element will rejoice inj his wise, .statesmanlike, advanced views as to the noble "and ancient University of North- Carolina that has done more for North Carolina than -all .. of the col leges combined," that has a spendid rec ord of mpre than one hundred years of usefulness, that has graduated more men who rose to distinction in church and state than any other literary in stitution in the entire south with only the one possible exception of the Uni versity of Virginia. The broad-gauged, liberal, progressive men of North Car olina will never agree to smite this great state institution, its highest and most glorious ornament under the pleas advanced by its enemies. The right movement would be 'to 'broaden its foundations and widen its doors and make it hospitable to all ingenu ous and aspiring youth from all states and all lands. It ought to have schools for all languages, arts, sciences, litera tures. Governor Russell has set a man lv. hieh example in his admirable words. in behalf of the university. LITERARY GOSSIP, I Kipling is not a "Walter Scott, who Is? He may be defective in but art some where and he may be some times hard to be.,' "understanded of the peo ple," but what living writer, approaches him In Versatility, in brilliancy, in manifold artistic expression, in dash and vigor? While most capable critics have been entertained and charmed even by his splendid ballads, others carp and complain and deny. One says he is "without" sincerity,' tenderness and self-control." that he is great "in invective," but lacks repose, calmness, and that his fault is; '.'unending sparkle and crackle." Doubtless there is justice iri this complaint. Bift then there' is power, there is originality, thjere is splendid courage and. expres sion, there is dynamite, but ft ex plodes.. He may not write "great pas sages" as 'Scott writes them, for as the complainant says finely, his "great passages rise from the level as noise lessly as a mountain.", "We. fail to see in any living writer such fresh,, virile, spontaneous gifts and qualities as dis tinguish this English writer. The same critic calls his poetry "brass band poetry exciting, but hard, jioisy, and tiresome." British critics damned Byr ron, Shelley, Keats and Tennyson, the four grea'test poets possibly after Mil ton, unless we-are to except "Words worth and Coleridge. But strange to say the aforesaid critic says that "there is no man living who. has shown himself possessed of more varied and splendid force." That will do. ; Coventry Patmore, who recently died, Was no doubt a man of some gen ius. His poem in his youth called "The Angel in the House" a beautiful cele bration of his wife's fine, womanly sweetness and blessing to himj was very widely read and admired w;hen it appeared some forty years ago. It will pay to read it how. He wrote much other verse. His wife had talents and fine literary sympathies and knew many' of. 'the distinguished men of let ters of her own land. Mr. Patmore's son Henry is thought to have inherited the poetic endowment and possibly ' in a high degree. It is stated that poems printed for private distribution are not unlike those of his father in his most fanciful and delicate mood, and are rich in originality and an intensely pure, charm. One of them appeared in the London "Athenaeum" several years ago. ' - - ' The great Thomas Carlyle's sister Janet still survives. and lives in Hal ton county, Ontario, with her daughter, Mrs. J. . R. Leslie. She has another daughter the wife 6f an English cler gyman, rector at Ripley in Bruce county. ' Dr. "W. R. Nicoll. the! weir known Scotch editor resident in London, when in this country, visited Miss Mary E. "Wllklns, the strongest Of living New England novelists, and writes very ad miringly of her. Instead of being large and muscular as her pictures indicate she "is trim and dainty in appear ance." He says: "Of her own work she evidently pre ferred to say little, but she was writing busily a new story for 'Harper's Week ly." I still think that the best and most enduring product of this admirable artist is to 5e found in the three vol umes, 'A Humble Romance,' 'A Far Away Melody,' and 'A New England Nun.' They are perfect in their way. The longer stories show great talent and care, but they remind me of a short story lengthened out like a piece of elastic. Probably, . 'however, Miss Wllkins' best work is yet to come. She has written a drama. 'Giles Cory,. Yeo man," which shows marked capacity, but did not succeed on the stage. Her ambition in this direction, however, is not abandoned. She has also written a good many poems, mostly for children, which will probably be collected one of these days." ' One of the best things we have read .by an American In years in the story line is 'Two Mormons from Muddlety" that appeared last year in two or three numbers of -a magazine. Harper per haps. It is very entertaining and on new lines and with distinctively origi nal qualities. It is by L. E. Mitchell He has written another story short we suppose and the two have beij published in a .volume by the Harpers. The Tribune critic well praises it ind among other things says: "The movement of the more import ant of the two stories: in this is rather slow, but the quality of the wock may be judged from the5 fact that in spite of the slowness it is impossible to drop Two Mormons from 'Muddlety" until the end is reached. The characters are genuine, and they are described with so much humor, they are themselves so original and are handled from such an original point of view, that they are on all counts good to meet. Moreover, the almost fantastic newness of the plot takes nothing from the simple realism which is,' in the long run, Mr. Mitchell's most important gift." Mrs. Wiggin is very clever with her pen. We are not sure 'that Miss Wil kins. has more and higher gifts. Her "Marm Lisa" is praised by all the crit ics so far as we have noticed. It is regarded by even the" most cautious critics as very near perfect, missing that high point of excellence very nar rowly, if she has pissed it. She had written many: good things before, but this is her high Water - mark. Her sketches of travel in England are de cidedly pleasant. Professor Brander Matthews, an au thority in such things, writes in "The Bookman" that such supposed French phrases as "double entendre" and "nam deplume" and deshabille are not so much as known ro the French.- So as to "levee," . much used as 'are the others hy the Americans, and yet It is "insu lar dlaleet" and "is not French of any date."That is what Professor ' Earle says ih "English Prose." . SHARPS ;ND FLATS. How is this? Here is the Chicago Times-Herald that is talking "treason" right out and this hot-headed paper was very warm in its denunciations of Mr. Bryan charging him with being an "anarchist," etc. It isb, forgetting its diatribes of a few' months ago and pours hot shot into New. York and Pennsylvania in a style quite as lurid as any "that ever came from .Tillman or Bryan or any other of "the anar chists" that were defamed by the northern goldbug press. This Chicago paper says this in its furious editorial blast: - "In New York .the laws are dictated, the government controlled, the senti ments or oepent people ignored by a boss who has been charged openly in the newspapers with personal dishon esty. In Pennsylvania another boss is bandying charges of corruption with a 'league tf business men, and has even involved a former member of the cab inet. In Illinois a political machine has gone, to the refuse of municipal politics and after raking it thoroughly has presented to the people as a candidate for United States senator the most odious type of official faithlessness that has ever disgraced the history of Chi cago," j . i ' Noting from time to time the large, magnificent bequests and bestowments of rich northern people upon churches and institutions of learning we have thought and said that in that most commendable particular they were vastly ahead of the south. It Is true the chief wealth Is in the n'v-i'- and that they have much more to give. But the northern people give a great deal more than southern men give when you consider the ability to give. But few men in the south, counted rich accord ing to the low standard of wealth, ever give liberally. You con find one or two in this state or that, but they are the very rare exceptions. It is pleasant to read of the generous benefiction of. the late Hon. Henry L. Pierce, of Boston, not confined to one denomination so ciety or Institution of learning, .but em bracing very many. . His gifts count by the hundreds of thousands bestowed upon colleges, churches, hospitals, li braries, museums, homes for aged, of both races. In fact the list Js educative and very, wide in epplication.( When great wealth is so used and distributed it is a blessing to humanity and civil ization. Mr. Lloyd Brice has a paper in the North American Review" (rep gold) in which he says some pleasant and just things of William Jennings Bryan. He pays him a generous and appreciative tribute, so richly deserved. We give a part only of what is well said: "He is evidently earnest and sym pathetic, with . a thorough belief that he has a mission. Of his power it is unnecessary to speak. He is an inter esting individuality, whom one cannot heln wishing to follow and study. "The-discovery of such a couple, and such a home as that of Mr. and Mrs. Bryan for she seems almost equally re markable with her husband is some thing at which our country may well be pleased, and may be pointed to as the product of triumphant democracy. Both models of purity in their simple lives, wholly free from ostentation, kind neighbors, and earnest in their desire to do their part toward making the world a little better; and, to crown all, ardent lovers, devoted heart and soul to each other, the wife standing nobly at her husband's side throughout all his trials. It Is a beautiful Tture, difficult to eoual, impossible to excel in other lands. We have never seen any reason for withdrawing or moderating uny thing we ever Wrote iii the campaign of this noble and pure and splendid young man of the west orator, statesman, patriot. God spare his youngj life, and may he live to bless and honor his native land! ! We are afraid that Ian Maclaren's head was slightly affected while so generously entertained in the north. He has got home and is talking in a way to tickle some and offend others. He gathered in the shekles by the sack full and went away rejoicing, which was quite natural and not to be com plained of. A northern paper reading his talk is growing "weary" over "the stuff given out by him." It cites that he seems "to delight in singing the praises of the American people chiefly because they resemble English people. He sees nothing good in our citizens save as he recognized an English re semblance. For instance, he :says Tale is a. great school because, it reminds him of the English universities. Dr. Watson is pleased with the wealthier classes of this country because their life reminded him of English country life; he was favorably impressed with American home life because it resem bled English life. He fell in love with Secretary Olney, and it must have been because of his proverbial stubbornness and . bluntness, reminding him of the gruff old Salisbury; he likewise spoke in complimentary terms of Mr. Cleve land, and while he did not say it, we know it was because of his blawsted English' tenacities." Well we will not fall out with the gifted Scotchman so long as he can write "so delightfully and we can turn to his . best published productions so full of human sympa thy and literary charm. .
