JACKSON'S DUEL WITH DICKINSON Mr. Parton, in the first volume of his Life of Jackson, just issued, gives the followin, graphic description of the duel in which Charles Dick- inson, a young lawyer of Tennessee, was killed by Gen Jackson, in 1806 : Dickinson's second won the choice of position, and Jackson's the office of giving the werd. The astute Overton considered this giving of the word « matter of great importance, an he had already determined how he would give it, if the lot fell to him. The eight paces were measured off and the men placed. Both were perfectiy collected. All the politeness of such ovcasions were very strictly and elegantly per- formed. Jackson was dressed in sles frock coat, buttoned carelessly over his chest, and concealing in some degree the extreme slender- ness of his figure. Dickinson was the younger and the handsomer man of the two. But Jack- son’s tall, erect figure, and the still demeanor, it is said e him a most superior and com- — , 48 he stood under the tall poplars on this bright May morning, silently awaiting the moment of doom. “Are you ready?” said Overton “Tam ready,” replied Dickinson. « Tam ready,” said Jackson. The words were no sooner pronounced than Overton, vith a sudden shout, cried, using his old-country pronunciation—“Frrr '’ Dickinson raised his pistol quickly and fired. Overton. who was looking with anxiety and dread at Jackson, saw a puff of dust fly from the breast of his coat, and saw him raize bis left arm and place it tightly across his chest. He is surely hit, thought Overton, and ina bad place, too; but no—he does not fall. Erect vod grim as fate he stood, his teeth clenched, raising his pistol. Overton glanced at Dickin- son. Amazed at the unwonted failure of his aim, and apparently appalled at the awful figure and face before him, Dickinson had ur- consciously recoiled a pace or two. “Great God!” he faltered, ‘have I missed him?” ~- Back to the mark, sir!”’ shrieked Overton, with his hand upon his pistol. Dickinson recovered his com; forward to the peg, and sti averted from his antagonist work of a moment, t! words to tell it jure, steppe All this was the Generel! Jackson took deliberate aim, and pulled the trigger. The pistol neither snapped. He looked at the trigger, and nor went off tliscovered that it had stopped at half-cock. He frew it back toits place, and took aim a Dickinson's face second time. He fired. blanched; he reeled; his friends rushed toward him, caught him in their arms, His trowsers reddened. They stripped is clothes. The blood side ina torrent. And, alas' here is the ball, not near the wound, but above the opposite hip, just under the skin. The ball had passed through the body, below the ribs. Such 4 wound could not but be fatal. Overton went forward and learned the con dition of the wounded man. Rejoining his principal, he said : «‘ He won’t want anything more of you, General,” and conducted him from the ground. They had gone a hundred yards, Overton walking on one side of Jackson, the surgeon on the other, and neither speak- ing @ word, when the surgeon observed that one of Jackson's shoes was full of blood. “My God, General Jackson, are you hit!” he exclaimed, pointing to the blood. “O, I believe,’’ replied Jackson, “that he has pinked mea little. Let’s look at it. But say nothing about it there,” pointing to the house. He opened his coat. Dickinson’s aim had been perfect. He had sent the ball precisely where he supposed Jackson’: heart was beat- ing. But the thinness of his body, and the looseness of his coat combined to deceive Dick- inson, the ball had only broken arib or tw and raked his breast. It was a painful, b looking wound, but neither severe nor danger- ous, and he was able to ride to the tavern without much inconvenience. Upcn poroach- Ing the house, he went up to one of tne negro women, who was churning, and asked her if the butter had come. She said it was justcom- ing. He asked her for some butter-milk. While she was getting it for him, she observed him fertively ope js coat and look within it. She saw that his shirt was soaked with blood, and she stood gazing in blank horror at the sight, dipper in hand. He caught her eye, and tily button his coat again. She dipped out a quart measure full of batter-milk, and gave it tohim. He drank it off a draught; then went in, took off his coat, and had his wound care- fully examined and dressed. That done, he dispatehed one of his ritinue to Dr. Catlett, to inquire respecting the condition of Dickin- son, and to say that the surgeon attending himself would be glad to contribute his aid towards Mr. Dickinson’s rellef. A polite re ply was returned that Mr. Dickinson's case was past surgery. In the course of the day General Jackson sent a bottle of wine to Dr Catlett for the use of his patient But there wes one gratification which Jack- son, could not even in such circumstances, granthim. A veryold friend of General Jack- eon’s writes to me thus: “Although the Gen- eral was wounded, he did not desire it should be known until he bad left the neighborhood, and he had therefore concealed it at first even from bis own friends. His reason for this, as he once stated me was, that as Dickinson con- sidered himself the best shot in the world, and was certain of kflling him at the first fire, he «lid not want him to have the gratification of knowing that he had touched him.” Tar Cexsvs of 1 The following excel- lent take-off on the questions proposed to be asked by the takers of the Census of 1860, has been variously credited to the Buffalo Express and the Cleveland Plaindealer.

And ‘now, what follows, let me try to report exactly as the conversation oc- curred : Governor—Well, Doctor, I ain’t much of a judge of your fine wines; but, for steady drink, {prefer whisky. We have a saying down in our State, that if a man commences drinking whisky early in his life, and drinks regularly, he will live to be a hundred and five years old. Doctor—Ah! well, Governor, I am glad to get your opinion on the subject, as I have just had a barrel of choice Old Bourbon’? sent me, and I want to know how to drink it. In the meantime, how would you like a little good Madeira? Governor—Very well. (The Doctor orders a bottle of “1810,” price ten dollars. A very choice wine “whose rich perfume fills all the room with a benison on the giver.’’) Doctor—Now, Governor, while you are test- ing that, tell us how and when you drink your favorite liquor Governor.—At home, I amin the habit of getting up at 4 o'clock—it is a good thing to Tise early—and then while dressing take a glass of whisky as an ‘‘eye-opener;” then just before breakfust you take another—but you mustn't keep drinking all the time. At 16 o'clock you drink again, and at 12 o'clock everybody takes a glass—but you mustn’t keep drinking all day. Just before dinner you drink again, and then at dinner you take about half a pint—but it won't do to be drinking all the time. Doctor—What time do you dine? Governor—At two o'clock; and after dinner take a good nap. When you wake up you will want another ‘eye-opener,’ then you start fresh, and want a drink before five o'clock; because, remember, you mustn't keep drinking all the afternoon. Just before supper, you take ther, and go to bed at eight o'clock, when you will want one as a “night cap.’’ But, then, you muen’t keep drinking all day. Doctor—How much are you in the habit of taking. in the aggregate, during the day, Governor’? Governor—Well, I think about three pints I think that’s about my average measure, Doc- tor; but then you musn’t be drinking all the time, you know. Cranston—Certainly not; and I am not sur- prised that your people live to the good old age of a hundred years, well preserved in health and spirits. Doctor—Well Governor, how do you like this Madeira? Will you have another bottle’ Governor—It is pretty good; don’t care if I do; for a steady drink, however, give me whis- ky; but it never ’Il do to be drinking it all the time. The Doctor thinks the information he gained in regard to the most approved habit of whisky drinking, in the colloquy, which its incidental cautions against excess, is well worth the dou- bie X it cost him in Madeira. ——_+.ee-— A Reminiscence. During the Administration of President Jackson there was a singular young gentleman employed in the public service at Washington. His name was G.: he was from Tennessee, the son of a widow, the neighbor of the President, on which account the old hero had a kind feeling for him, and always got him out of his difficulties with some of the high officials, to whom his singular interferences were distaste- fal Among other things, it is said of him, that while he was employed in the General Post (f- fice, on one occasion he had to copy a letter of Major H., a high officer, in answer to an appli- cation made by an old gentleman of Virginiaor Pennsylvania, for the establishment of a new Post Office. The writer of the letter often used cinssical language; in this letter he said the application could not be granted, in conse- quence of the applicant's “proximity”’ to an- other office. When the letter came into U hands to copy, being a great stickler for P in- ness, he altered ‘‘proximity”’ to ‘nearness to.”’ Major H. observed it and asked G tered his letter’ Why, replied ¢ don’t think the man would nnderstand what you meaot by proximity. Well, said Major H., try him: put-in the ‘proximity’’ again. In afew days a letter was received from the applicant, in which be indignantly said :-— «That his father had fought for liberty in the first, and he himself in the second war of inde. pendence, and he would like to have the name of the scoundrel who brought the charge of peiey or anything else wrong, against im!" “There,” said G., ‘did I not say go?” G. carried his improvement so far, that at last Mr. Barry. the Postmaster General, said to him:—“I'do not want you here any longer; you know too much.”’ Poor G. went out. but his old friend, the General, again got him into another place. This time (i.’s ideas under- wentachange. He was one day very busy writing, when astranger calling in, asked him where the Patent Office was. ‘I don’t know,” said G. “Can you tell me where the Treasury Department is?’’ said the stranger. ‘No,’ said G. “Nor the President's House’”’ ‘“No,”’ The stranger finally asked him if he knew where the Capitol was. ‘-No,”’ replied G. “Do you livein Washington. sir?’’ said the stranger. (es, sir,’’ said G. “Good Lord! and don’t know where the Patent Office, Treasury, Pres- ident’s House and Capitol are?” “Stranger,” said G., “I was turned out of office for know- ing too much. I don’t mean to offend in that way again. I am paid for keeping this book. I believe I do know that much; but if you find me knowing anything more you can take my head.” “ cod morsig,” said the stranger.

During the last exciting can- ¥ 1ss,a well known political maneuverer, who had stown gray in wire-pulling for others,ventured to launch forth on his own hook as claimant for some small office in the gift of the people. The “Mayor’’—of course he was nothing shorter— mounted a barrel and ed eloquent over his personal merits as contrasted with those of his antagonist, who was holding forth on the oppo- site side of the way. ‘You won't do'’’ shouted one of the neutrals, ‘‘the judge goes in for free whisky.’ ‘So do I!" yelled the Mayor, again. ‘‘He’s for a general exemption law to emanci- pate all debtors.” - “So am I,’’ chirruped the Mayor, who was over head and ears in debt himself. *‘Free trade'’’ “‘Soam I! “Free love!’ “So am I,” rejoined the Mayor, who having‘a wife that he idolized, was not 80 prompt iu responding. ‘‘He—he’s a Printer'’’ shouted the excited sovereign, thinking he had corn- ered the Mayor. No such thing. ‘So wasI,’’ said the Mayor—‘‘served my time at it—father a printer before: me—in fuct, all the family were printers.’’ The Mayor got the voteofthe craft, and their influence, but a few days after- wards it turned out that the Mayor had been chafing. He was taxed with the falsehood, but unexpectedly came off with flying colors “T was a printer, reaily!”” ‘Won't go down, Mayor.”’ *‘Honest and no shenznigan.’’ “Now, Mayor “Was, indeed!’ ‘Well, what sort of a printer, - or book?’ “Calico printer!”’ replied the Mayor, laconically. The prolonged whistle that followed never stopped until the corks begon to pop. Isrants AND Atr.—Parliamentary returns show that of twenty-eight hundred infants an- nually sent to various hospitals to be taken care of, twenty-four out of the twenty-five died before they were a year old! A law was im- mediately passed that they should be sent to the country thereafter, when it was found that only nine out of twenty-five died the first year; that is, instead of twenty-six hundred and ninety dying, there were only four hundred and fifty, a difference of twenty-two hundred and forty. This simple unvarnished statement of an indisputable fact ought to impress the mind of every parent deeply, with the import- ance and the duty of using all practicable means for securing to children the habitual breathing of the purest air possible; being careful to aveid a radical, mischievous, and most prevalent error that warm air is neces- sarily impure. Warmth is as essential to in fantile health as pure air. How best to secure both, should be our constant study. There are more deaths under five years of age. in New York, than there are from five to sixty years, owing to three things, a want of pure air. of Suitable warmth, and proper food. In these three wants are found the overwhelming ma- jority of causes for the fearful statement above named. Let every parent in city or country, in hovel or mansion, mature three things. To die childless, after having been once blessed with dear children, must be one of the most terrible of all calamities of the heart; yet, in countless multitudes of cases, the sufferers are the authors of their own crushing sorrows, by reason of their unpardonable ignorance or Lire criminal neglect.— Hall's Journal of fall. ————_—_—_—_—_—_.__._____ MRS.
