The Story of General Jackson's Cotton BaleBreastworks a Pleasing Fiction.

There are few of the schoolboys ofseveral generations preceding the pres-ent who do not remember being taughtthat General Jackson won the battle ofNew Orleans by throwing up a breast-work of cotton bales and meeting theBritish assault behind them.

, A dramatic account of this was in allthe school histories and several others,and the novelty of the affair appealedvividly to the imagination. The coldfacts of later history prove this all tohave been fiction. Henry Adams, in hishistory of Madison's administration, de-

scribes the battle of New Orleans andmentions no such feature. McMaster,in his latest volume, refers to the storyin a note only to say that there were twoor three cotton bales used in one place,and they were either set on fire orknocked out at once.

Jackson's line of breastworks was ofearth irregularly thrown up and of vary- -'

ing height along its length. The trainedsharpshooters of the west did great workas marksmen behind it and so galledthe heavily laden British troops that theyhad no alternative but to be shot or retreat before the American line.

The schoolbook story used to be thatthe Americans lost six killed and seven'wounded. McMaster places the figuresof killed and wounded at 70. The Brit-ish, it seems, were not all repulsed according to the popular story. The rightline of the American troops was drivenin, and the British left advanced a milein the rear of Jackson on the way toNew Orleans.

He was really flanked by this success,but the terrific slaughter he inflicted upon the British in the center, involvingthe death of the first and second generalsin command, completely dispirited themand induced the return of that wing oftheir army that was on the way to thecity. Boston Herald.

A STOLEN SECRET.

How Minister Jewell Learnejl to MakeRussia Leather.

Jewell, like all men brought np tolearn a trade, and who afterward gainedprominence in affairs, made now andthen unconscious revelations of his earlytraining. During one of the campaignsin which he was engaged he found him-self at a country hotel where the tablewas bounteous, but the rooms few andsmall It was necessary in order that thewhole party might be housed for eachbed to be occupied by two persons. Thegovernor's roommate was a young poli-tician, who could not hide his surprisewhen the governor just before retiringrolled the sleeves of his night shirt evenas far up as his shoulders, and thenbathed his arms in cold water.

"You wonder why I do this," saidthe governor. "Well, I couldn't sleepunless I did. When I was a youngsterlearning the tanners' trade, I used tohave my arms in the vats all day long,and at night my skin would smart asthough I had been stung by nettles. Icould not bear to have any cloth touchthem. So I got the habit of rolling myshirt sleeves as far as I could, and thusI have slept ever since. "

When Jewell was minister to Russia,he played a Yankee trick upon the Rus-sians, the benefits of which we are reap-ing even to this day in this country.Like every other American tanner, hehad long wanted to know the secret ofthe process of manufacturing Russianleather. He had experimented with afew dollars himself, only to learn thatthe secret was not to be discovered.

When at the court of St Petersburg,he professed great interest in Russianindustries and was shown through manyof the mannfacturies there. By and bythere came an opportunity to go througha factory where Russia leather was man-ufactured. Jewell was all smiles andcourtesies and seemed profoundly inter-ested in those things which really didnot interest him and wholly blind to thevery things he went to that place tosee. But he was not so blind as theythought When he came out of that fac-

tory, he had discovered, as he believed,the process, and he brought the discov-ery back to this country with him, sothat by and by the United States beganto turn out a very good article of leatherresembling the Russian product Phil-adelphia Press.

Another French Enterprise.Undismayed by their experience in

They have now determinedto connect the bay of Biscay with theMediterranean by a canal over 400 mileslong, from 144 to 215 feet wide and from28 to 34 feet deep and with widenedpassing places every eight miles. Therewill be 22 locks, each 650 feet in lengthand 80 feet in width. The cost is calcu-lated at 1100,000,000. It is, however,safe to say that it will be much more.It is claimed by its promoters that be-sides greatly expediting commerce thiswaterway will be of vast political sig-nificance. If it could only be kept openin war, Gibraltar, the strongest fort inthe world, would be rendered useless,and France instead of England wouldhold the "key to the Mediterranean. "London Globe.

THEY REMAINED HER PROPERTY, BUTWERE VERY COSTLY.

After Buying Them Three Times She Re-

fused to Risk Them Any More A LittleStory Bearing on the Question of theWife's Property Rights.The following story was told in a pa-

per read by Mrs. M. J. Coggeshall at ameeting of the Woman's Suffrage so-

ciety of Des Moines and published inThe Saturday Review of that city:

Today, when we women have not out-

grown the pretty fad of collecting sou-

venir spoons, the great variety andbeauty of which were unknown to ourgrandmothers, allow me to recall thestory of a great aunt of ours who alsoloved spoons, but whose plain cupboarddrawer contained no sets of dainty afterdinner coffees like those from which welove to sip as we sit in our clubs andtalk of culture.

This aunt when a young woman wasa' teacher in a country school until shehad saved enough money to indulge hergreat desire for a set of silver spoons.She was married soon after to the yonngman of her choice. Six years passed by

years of hard work and economy forboth, happy years, though no childrenhad come to bless their union when bya sudden illness the husband was takenaway. The day after the funeral thegrieved wife was surprised by the en-

trance to her home of the two brothersof her husband, bringing with them thevillage lawyer. They told her they hadcome to set a value upon their brother'sproperty, in order that she might knowwhat part of it was hers.

She held her peace as they set downthe worth of each article of furniture inthe little home, until they finally cameto the box of spoons.

Then she spoke and said: "These aremine. I bought them with my ownmoney before I was married."

"Yes, ma'am," said the lawyer,"but you know, ma'am, that after a la-

dy is married everything belongs in lawto her husband."

So all the little property was divided,the brothers taking half, and she tookthe spoons with the rest at the pricethat had been set upon them. But itobliged her to give up the home, andshe, with her few effects, went intorented rooms and began life anew. Oc-

casionally teaching a school and alwayssewing when possible, she supportedherself very comfortably for about threeyears, when a lifelong friend of herhusband, an excellent man, offered herhis hand in marriage.

She liked him well, and her friendstold her it was the best thing to do, andshe thought with pleasure of again be-

ing mistress of a home. So they weremarried.

In a few years her husband's healthdeclined, and for many months she gavehim most tender and unceasing care.She had a few times spoken to himabout making a will, but as it seemedan unpleasant subject she had ceased tomention it Finally the end came.There had come to attend the funeralhis nearest relative, a nephew from NewEngland, whom she had never seen be-

fore. In a day or two he brought twomen to the cottage to appraise the prop-erty, and again was there a price setupon the well preserved spoons. On theevening of that day as she was prepar-ing supper the nephew entered thekitchen and said: "Aunt Liza, I amdisposed to be very easy with you. Theworth of all of uncle's property hasbeen carefully estimated, and I will al-

low you to include in your half of itany article of furniture you maychoose. "

And again she paid the price of herfirst darling purchase of silverware, butthere was not enough left after the halfwas taken for her to keep the house andlot, so they went into the hands ofstrangers, and with ber cat Aunt Lizaagain went into cozy, but hired rooms.She was a pattern of thrift and tidiness,as a smart widower of the neighborhoodwas well aware, and in less than a yearhe made a call upon the comely matron.He was wise enough to make his firstvisit short, but lingered a moment inthe door and suggested that in the nearfuture they become better acquainted.

She answered, "I am living here verycomfortably, and I think, Mr. Johnson,that it will not be worth while for yonto call, "and closing the door hastilyshe turned to her cat and said:

"No, Tommy. I have bought thosespoons three times, and I don't intendto risk them any more. "

Bought the Ship That Brought Him.An interesting anecdote is told of

the late Captain Theodore Jnlius. Sometime ago Captain Julius went over to ashipyard in Camden to take a look atthe old paoketship Tonawanda, whichWas being converted into a coal barge.The captain took a particular interestin the old ship, because of his havingserved as mate aboard her in the earlysixties. While he stood watohing the oldvessel, a tall stranger approached himand asked, "Isn't your name Julius?"The captain replied in the affirmative."You were a mate on that ship in thesummer of 1863?" " Yes, " said the cap-tain. "You don't remember me," con-tinued the stranger, "but I rememberyon very well. I was a steerage passen-ger on the Tonawanda at that time, be-

ing on my way to this . country. I'vebeen pretty prosperous, and I've justbought the old ship and am going tomake a coal barge of her. Strange, isn'tit that I should come to own the shipthat brought me, practically penniless,to this country?" Philadelphia Record.

HOW EDDINGER DIED.

Tli California Marderer Threw Up BisHands With a Pistol In One.

The particulars of the killing of F.& Eddinger, the man who robbedTeamster Otto Hampton of Jose & El- -

lery'8 freight money and the mardererof his employer, E. W. Jose, whom hehad shot and fatally wounded on thenight of June 10 at Lewiston, Trinitycounty, while the - latter was trying toarrest him for the robbery, show thatthe fugitive was shot through the heartwith a rifle ball fired iiy Deputy SheriffChase.

After Jose had been shot Sheriff Bowieof Weaverville, Trinity county, took upthe trail of the murderer at Lewistonaud tracked him to within five miles' ofRedding. He 'came into Redding and

"notified the officers here that he was certain that the robber was heading for therailroad, and that he was positive thathe was on the right track. , ' ' '

Constable Pleisch and Deputy SheriffChase took the trail, proceeding to Cot-

tonwood, Shasta county, until within a'mile of that place, where the road crossesthe railroad track, where they stopped,each taking one side of the road. Soon

they saw Eddinger coming down theroad and commanded him to halt. Whenthe robber stopped, Chase said, "Throwup your hands. "

The robber answered, "I have donenothing. ' i;;

There came a shot from Pleisch s gunover the robber's head and again the in-

junction, "Throw up your hands.'' The robber threw both hands up andat the same time his pistoL Chase couldtnot see the pistol in his hand. The rob-- :'

ber remarked: "There! My hands are'up and nothing in them. "

There was a fence between Chase andthe robber, and Chase was obliged toclimb over. When he had got over,he noticed the pistol in the robber'shand. Leveling his rifle, Chase said,"Drop that pistol," when the robberlowered his hand and at the same timecommenced firing. ,

After two shots Chase fell on hisknees, and the robber, thinking he hadkilled his pursuer, turned and commenced shooting at Plejsch. While inthis condition Chase took deliberate aimwith his' rifle and sent a bullet throughthe robber s heart, killing him instant-ly. Redding Cor. San Francisco Chronicle.

QUITE A CHARACTER. ..

Death of the Lant Slave Sold at Auction InNew Haven.

Mrs. Lois Tritton, colored, died ather home in this city Monday at theage of 95. She has long been a localcelebrity from the fact that she was thelast slave sold at public auction in thiscity in 1825. The original papers ofthis transaction are in the possession of

Ingersoll and show thatit3 purpose was to give her her freedom.The sale was by the sheftff under an ex-ecution issued on a former judgmentagainst her owner,' human goods andchattels having been levied on to satisfyan execution. The sheriff's return isdated-Mar- ch 10, 1825, and recites thaton the 8th of March, 1825, by virtue ofthe execution, he sold Lucy, the mother,and Lois Tritton, the daughter, as theproperty of the defendant, to AnthonyP. Sanford for (10. A deed of manu-mission from Mr. Sanford accompaniesthe documents.

Mrs. Tritton was born in Halifax onChristmas eve, 1799, and visited thiscity with a family named Tritton in1820. It was from this family she re-ceived the name of Tritton. She re-turned to Nova Scotia, but came to NewHaven again in 1824 or 1825, and afterbeing sold to Mr. Sanford was givenher liberty.

Aft-- 'er heir departure it was discovered thatsome spoons, which were also of gold,had disappeared. The men were follow-ed, and the spoons were found in theirpockets.

A PECULIAR CASE.

PHYSICIANS PUZZLED IN THE

CASE OF MRS. BOWEN. .

The Episcopal Hosptial Said She Had

lioiminpuon ana uavf nvr riwu.In Substantiation.

From the Record, Philadelphia, Pa.

Last July the Episcopal hospital ad-

mitted a woman whose pale and emaci-ated face and racking cough proclaim-ed her the victim of consumption. Shegave her name as-- Mrs. Sallie G.Bowen, wife of Wm G. Bowen, resi-dence 1849 Meighah street, Phila-delphia. The case was diagnosed andshe was told plainly that she was inan advanced stage of consumption. Theexamining physician even showed herthe sunken place in her breast wherethe cavity in her lung was supposed toexist. She went home to her family abroken, disheartened woman, withdeath staring her in the face. Thatwas the beginning of the story. Theend was told by Mrs. Bowen, who nolonger expects to die, to a reporter whovisited her home.

"The first symptoms of consumptioncame in the form of terrible sweats,both night and day. From April untilSeptember I was constantly cold anakept wrapped up in blankets throughthe hottest weather. A terrible coughtook possession of me, my breast wassore to the slightest touch, and mylimbs were like cold clay. The hard-est rubbing with the coarsest towelwould not create the slightest flush,and the least exertion would so exhaustme that I could barely gasp for water.

"I went to the hospital in July anc.

they diagnosed my case as above stated.It was when the clouds were the.darkest that the first glint of sunshinecame. Mr. Shelmerdine, a friend wholives at 1844 Clementine street, saito me one day, 'Mrs. Bowen did youever try Dr. Williams' Pink- - Pills foiPale People?' I had never heard of themedicine, but in my condition couUnot turn a deaf ear to anything thatottered relief. It was after consider-able thought and investigation that iconcluded to discontinue all the medi-cine I wad taking, including cod liveioil, and depend entirely upon PinkPills. I began to take the pills, atfirst with but little encouragement.The first sign of improvement was awarmth and a tingling sensation in mylimbs. Finally the cough disappeared,my chest lost its soreness, and I beganto gain flesh until I was fifteen poundheavier. All this I owe to Dr. Will-iams' Pink Pills, and I cannot praisethem to highly."

Mrs. Bowen is a kindly faced ladyoimiddle age, a church member wellknown and highly esteemed. Shelooks today well and strong, and itseems almost impossible that she wasever given up by eminent physicians asart incurable consumptive. Tet suchis the case beyond all dispute.

CHESS CHAMPIONS.

aVaaker Has Completed the Greatest RecordEver Made by Any Flayer.

Lasker, the new champion, has ev-

ery reason to plume himself on this re-

sult, Vhich is almost identical with theresult of Steinitz versus Zukertort in188G--10 to 6, with five draws. Laskerhas beaten the man who had beaten allthe world for 80 years or more. He hasplayed in the past five years 189 record-ed games in matches and tournaments,of which 85 were drawn and only 17lost It is enough to say that nobodyhas ever shown such a record as that.

Steinitz, in his matches and tourna-ments, has played 259, of which he drew78 and lost 81. He has played againststronger players, especially in tourna-ments,' and has played a more open andhazardous game, content to be superiorwithout reckoning by how much,t. No close comparison is possible be-tween Lasker and Morphy, the less sobecause our fixed idea of Morphy re-calls him as a youth of most subtle andfortunate imagination, which seemed topicture not only the natural effects ofhis own moves, but the choices and mis-apprehensions of his antagonist. Hisstyle was above everything picturesqueand we are losing the picturesque inchess or should be losing it if it werenot for the brilliant eccentrics of theamateur clubs. Saturday Review.
