Andrew Jacksons Memory. { stanford, (Ky-,) Journal. | About 1522 or *23, a little,slender | rlond boy ot 14, clad in simpley a summer suit of shirt, hat and pant, as the boatmen ot the ferry across | he rematic Kentucky river tor the Lexington dirt road between Harrodsburg. This terry was at the -icturesque point nearly four miles | petow where the Kentucky receive the water ef the Dix river. Sitting and watiag and watching, onone ot those sunny days,the young | ferryman saw coming frem the seuth side a superb carnage drawn oy four splendid white horses. The boat was instantly made ready for the royal reception, and the colored cap- tain ot the wnipand iines, perched | { j upon his proud pinnacle, premptly | drove on the boat with an air of self-satisfaction. A tall. spare, majestic eld gentleman with a plain but impressive, little lady and her waiting maid, all walkod en after the carriage. Soon the little cheaftain of the craft had rowed ali safely -‘e’cr the terry,’ when the supreme looking personage bade the driver water his team. Approaching the little ferry commander, saidin the most win- sorae words: ‘‘Here is your 50 cents ; and now, my little man, you are very young fer such responsibilities ; I must ask yourname.*’ The boy an- wered, ‘*Walter C———,”’ where- upon the courtly gentleman introduc- ed himself as Gen. Andrew Jackson, and bidding Waltera pleasant ffar- well, the royal wheels rolled steadly away tewards the capital of the Unit- ed States of America, bearing alone that mam-of hickory, whose missien was doubtless to subdue the cirticism that was then wont to be brought down im congress upon his military management. And of course he subdueb it. Inthe autumn of that year, when the river was swollen and two color- ed boys were assisting our young boatmen, looking up the sublime height on the north s de, Walter saw the white herses with lifted heads and arched necks driving that chariot of triumph, and he announced to Ins aid that Gen. Jackson was coming. This stately surnout haulted upon the height and Genaral thrust ,ims head out and asked: ‘‘Had [ not better remain inon the account of mud, Walter?” Just behind secend Guriage with a span of beautiful ‘ays. The General and al! his aid passsing over, he said: **Now Wal- ier, I want you to be particular, for thatis President Monroe and wife in that rear carriage and Gen. | Gaines on horseback tn attendance.’’ When all were safe over and all dues paid, these dignitaries passed out of sight of this boy for all after time. But lost to sight, in memery dear, there grew up a solid Jackson man (though of Whig raising) at the long- faded ferry on the Kentucky. That river, unwearied. rolls on; trees of might have grown up in the tracks ot those royal wheels, the lines and the whip have fallen trom the nands of the driver, not a bone or a Soof of those white and bays remain, those. glittering vehicles have no} place now, those hearts and heads | and hands that gave mould to nation- | il glory.with those werthy wives and dutiful servants, have all grown cold in dust.

Hor+ewhipped By a Girl. Lucy Hopper in her Paris letter in he Philadelphia Leader says: Ire- cently heard of an action on the part of a young American girl toward a French woman insulter which has filled my soul with admuration delight. The young lady who ‘sa re- fined, medest and high-bred girl, is staying with some members of her family at oneof the hotels in the Avenue de l’Opera. As her and and manners are she never hesitated te go out alone stylish-dressed: individual about 43 years old, wearing the red-ribbon ot legion of honor in his button-hole. This personage not only followed her but addressed her in language of ful- some, complimentry style, thrust his face under her bonnet stepped a few steps in front of her and then looked back and leared at her. menter did not make his appearance when her brether was with her, or when there was a police in hailing distance. Finaly, the other day the affair came to aclimax. The yeung lady was returning to her hotel at about 3 o’cleck in the afternoen, «nd her persecutor began tormenting her as usual. The hunted girl, worried, wearied, and exasperated, chancing to passa cab stand, she snatched one ot the drivers’ whips from its socket. and turned on her tormentor, him across the face with the lash. Being taken by surprise, he started back and let fall his hat. As he stooped to pick it up, she followed up her advantage, raining blows af- ter blow on his head and shoulders, so stunning and bewildering him that he was some time in recovering cut which she employed to the best ad- vantage. At last, catchieg his res- cued hat, he fled. Flogging. St. Louis Post Dispateh. A community m which the law has been inveked to prevent the flog- ished within the past few days by a judicial decision which goes beyond the affirmation of the right to flog children as established by law, and bases the detense of flogging on the laws of nature. A theusand nant protests have gone up against the sentiment of the decisien and against the law which it affirmed, and it is very likely that the decision which was intended to support the practice of flogging will lead, instead to its abolition. This ought to be the result, and speedily. Flogging is a relicor bar- barism wholly out of place in civil- ized society, and the same arguments which attempt to defend it now were at one time used in detense ef all kinds of cruelties which have happi- ly been abolished. [It was ence pop- indig- cruelty m boyhood developed a hai have gotten over that stupid delu- | sion.
