bars.
I have been requested by a friend to
write my "recollections of Gen. Jackson
and his family. Andrew Jackson was a
young lawyer when he came here from
North Carolina with Judge McNairy.
He boarded with 001. John Donaldson,
at Clover Bottom, on Stone river. While.
he was boarding there he fell in love
with and married Mr. Donaldson‘s
daughter, ‘Rachel. Her father gave
them the farm, which is now the Her—
mitage, and he built a house and went
there to live. At first he built a. hewed
loghouse, in which they lived for many
years, and then built the brick house
which is now standing there. When a
young man he was very fond of horse
racing, card playing and sport of every
kind. He fought a. duel with Mr. Dick-
inson and killed him. .
-When the Indian war broke out he
raised a regiment and went out as a
general. After the Indian war he took
part in the war of 1812 with the Brit—
ish. He was the leading man, the hero
:of the south, from the beginning until
the close of the war. ‘
* ‘After he came home from the war
he settled down, became a very pious
man and joined the First Presbyterian
church here. He built a church at the
Hermitage, which is still standing. He
was afterward elected president of the
United States, and was president for
eight years. '
'he was elected president, and his
nephew, Andrew Donaldson, with his
wife, went to Washington and kept
house for him. ‘
Gen. Jackson had no children, but he
and his wife adopted her brother’s son
and named him Andrew Jackson. While
he was president his adopted son mar-
ried a beautiful young lady from New
York. They had a beautiful daughter,
whom they named Rachel, for Mrs. Gen.
Jackson. She married Dr. John Law-
rence, who is still living on a farm near
the Hermitage. Gen. Jackson was a
very hospitable man. All the distin—
guished men who visited Nashville were
entertained at his house. He always
had the house full of his wife’s relatives.
He was also a very kind man, and espe-
cially so to his slaves.
Col. Ward was a very prominent man,
and his farm was next to Gen. Jacki
son’s. He came here fromVirginia, and
his wife was Miss Nancy Ward. They
were both wealthy, aristocratic Vir-
ginians. They had no children of their
own, but raised several of their nieces
and nephews. Her brother and his
wife died, leaving three sons and one
daughter. .irs. Ward sent to Virginia
for them, and they came here to live
with her. Col. Ward had a fine farm.
and over 100 negro slaves. His wife’s
sister, Miss Sallie Jones, married his
nephew, Vlr'ililam \Vard, who also had
a large farm in this neighborhood, and
a great many negrocs. Col. Ward’s wife
died and Mr. William Vi'ard died.
Col. Ward became engaged to Mrs.
,William “lard, and his nephews, named
Jones, who lived with him, said he
should not marry her. When they were
to be married his nephews went to the
house and got into a- fight with Mrs.
William Ward’s son, and when Col.
Vl'ard came out to stop them, they shot
and killed him. Mrs. William Ward
was the only «one who saw it, and she
traveled for several years to keep from
appearing against them in court. She
died, a broken-hearted woman, away
from her home. She was a most excel-
lent Christian woman. Her daughter
married, and is now living in Arkansas.
Col. Winston lived just between
Davidson county and Wilson county,
and near Col. Ward. He came from
Virginia, and belonged to a distin-
guished family. His oldest sOn, Wil-
liam, married Polly Cooper, and his sec-
ond. son, Isaac, moved to Alabama, and
was made governor of‘the state. His
next 5011, Dr. Edwin Winston, lived in
Clarksville. All of his children became
useful, distinguished men, and made
excellent citizens. When the Indian
war broke out Maj. Exum organized a
company of cavalry, and Isaac Winston
joined it. Isaac Winston-was going to
school to Maj. Exum when the war
began. After the war Maj. Exum re-
opened his school here, and all» the
promient boys went to him.—Miss Jane
Thomas, in Nashville American.
Oldest Marriage Proposal.
The oldest marriage proposal .of
which there is any definite record is
3,425 years old. This remarkable an-
cient record, which is in the oriental
department of the British museum, is
a small clay table measuring eight
inches by four inches and/ contains

about 98 lines of very fine cuneiform~
writing. It. is made gffiile mud, and
bears upon it the marriage proposal of

of the king of Babylon. It is a dupli-
cate copy 'of a letter written about B.

Left-Banded Animals.
It is well known that left-handedness
has often been observed in animals.
According to Vierordt, parrots seize ob-
jects with the left claw by preference,
or exclusively. The lion strikes with
the left paw, and Livingstone statedas
his Opinion that all animals are left-
handed. Prof. Jordan has recently ver-
ified the. statement with regard to par-
rots. He found that this bird makes a.
readier use Of the left claw for climbing
than the right—Cincinnati Enquirer.
Never Sees the Papers.
Silk ribbons are used in the court of
Victoria to hold newspaper clippings
designed for the royal perusal. She
never sees the papers in their original
state. They are carefully perused by
an official, who cuts out what he thinks
will please her, pins the clippings on
the ribbons, and lays them on the table.

“LITTLEWSKULL?
Gruesome Relic of Indian Warfare How
in the National Museum.
'A ghastly relicof Indian warfare was
recently sent to one of the professors
at the national museum in Washington,
says the New York World. It is the
skull of “Little Poplar,” the great
fighter and warrior, at one time' the
sub-chief of the Cree nation; The Crees
had their homes and lands in Canada,
and when the Riel rebellion broke out
some years ago “Little Poplar” took ad-
vantage Of the opportunity it afforded
to make war on his own account.
He attacked the white settlers, burned
their homes, carried off their women
and instituted a reign of terror in the
region of his operations. Hundreds Of
persons became the victims of his blood—
thirsty cruelty. He destroyed their
herds, laid their homes in smoking
ruinsvand put women and little children .
to the torture. There was, in fact, no
form Of deviltry too horrible for this
Indian to perpetrate.
When the Riel rebellion was crushed
“Little Poplar” crossed to the American
side. So great was the horror he had
excited that a. reward of $2,000 was of-
fered for his apprehension, dead or
alive. In 1886 he was murdered near
Fort Assiniboine, Mont, and the half-
breed who killed him received the re-
ward. One Of the soldiers of the fort
watched for years the lonely grave in
which “Little Poplar” had been buried,
and at last, when he felt certain that all
the flesh had been worn off the bones,
he dug up the skull and kept it as a
relic. It has just found a resting place
on one of the shelves of the national
museum.
MATRIMONIAL AGENCIES.
Some Advantageous Alliances Eflected by
3 Their Assistance in France.
" A very profitable form of swindling
is that of the matrimonial agencies
which are now worked in France in a.
manner entirely unknown, says the Lon-
don Spectator, tO M. De Foy, who was
the real originator of marriage by in-
termediary. - There are, of. course,
offices Where preliminary fees are asked
and where wife seekefs and ladies
yearning for lords are quietly swindled
after having been told to go to the
opera, the salon or the fashionable
church of Sainte-Clotilde." The strange
part of the matrimonial agency scheme
is that you .never know, when in society
whether some banker, priest or old lady
of fierce virtue and mystical tendencies
may not be a husband or wife broker.
There are young ladies not too thin-
skinned, head waiters in certain restau—
rants, livery stable keepers, cloistered
nuns, notarie’s and lady doctors of the
obstetric school. These are only a por—
tion of the army of workers in the inter-
ests of Cupid. There are at present in
Paris two wealthy American girls who
have married ygtitles, upon the wedding
day of each of whom a very handsome
commission was paid to one of these
intermediaries, of course without the
knowledge of the wife.

NOT A VASSAL OF GERMANY.
the Prince Airs His Grievances at a
Dinner at Moscow and Discloses the
Strained Relations That Ea... Be-
tween Berlin and Munich.
BERLIN, June 15. —The political sensa-
tion of the week, eclipsing even Emperor
William’s toast to the czar and telegram
of condolence to the widow of Jules Si-
mon', is the speech, which only recently
. leaked out, of Prince Ludwig of Bavaria
at Moscow and the strained relations be-
tween Berlin and Munich, which were
thereby revealed.
It is true that there have been many in-
dications of ill feeling since a year ago,
when the emperor reviewed the Bavarian
army and unmistakably showed, to the
chagrin of the regent, Prince Lultpold,
his desire to be considered supreme oom-
mandcr in fact as well as in name, and,
more recently, in the manner in which
the peace jubilee was celebrated at Mu-
nich, without a mention of the emperor
of the empire, the imperial army or the
imperial flag. It is now added that the
regent is going to visit Vienna, instead
of. Berlin, which has accentuated the
strained relations. as did the tone of the
diet and officlglpgggai, . ,. ‘ ' "
Emperor William interprets the consti-
tutional position of Bavaria, in relation
to the empire, as being a subordinate one,
and assigns the Bavarian dynasty to a
subordinate position when compared with
the Hohenzollerns. This is strongly dis-
approved at the Munich court, and, with-
out doubt, Prince Ludwig, the future
king of Bavaria, deliberately and purpose-
ly framed his speech in the way he did,
repudiating, for the dynasty and for the
other princes, the role of vessels, and
claiming that of allies, which accurately
represents the views of the Bavarian court.
Censured by the Kaiser.
As a curious coincidence the German
newspapers were only informed of the in-
cident the day Prince Henry of Prussia
returned from Moscow, and in court cir-
cles it is stated that the emperor severely
blamed Prince Henry for lack of tact in
not himself correcting the slip of the pro-
posal of the toast in referring to the
“princes in the suit” of Prince Henry of
Prussia and in leaving the fete with the
other princes, instead of remaining, and
thus avoiding widening the breach.
Eyewitnesses describe Prince Ludwig
as speaking passionately and indignantly.
Prince Ludwig’s report of the incident
to the emperor in no way lessens the im-
port of his words. and the Bavarian news-
papers applaud the prince’s conduct.
They are generally approved in south Ger-
many. , /
In government circles here there is a
disinclination to discuss the matter, but
the independent press is outspoken. The
national Zeitung says:
“Such conduct must meet in Germany
the most pronounced disapprobation. No
matter if it is a prince and future sover-
eign, no German, no matter who he is,
must cause a quarrel in foreign lands and
there create the impression that the em-
pire’s fabric is loosened by partlcularism. ”
The Vossische Zeitung remarks: '
“Russia and France now believe they
may draw the logical conclusion that
there will at least be a faint resistance at
Munich when it is intended to drive the
wedge into the German empire. Fortu-
nately we are convinced that the Bavarian
court is reckoning without the people,
who are thoroughly German and adhere
to the emperor and the empire in spite of
the dynastic schemes of their rulers.”
Emperor William is to visit Krupp, the
great gun manufacturer, in August, and
his majesty will probably accept Emper-
or Francis Joseph’s invitation to witness
the maneuvers in Galicla.
The Autumn Maneuvers.
The German autumn maneuvers will
be inaugurated Sept. 8 and 9. There will
be extensive cavalry scouting maneuvers
betwaen Gorlitz and Beutzen, trying on n.
' large scale the new system of obtaining
and utilizing news of the enemy’s move-
ments.
Conversing with ex-Governor Von
Schools of East Africa, at the army races
in the Hoppergarten, the emperor remark-
ed that all Germany wanted in Africa
was the preservation of the status quo.
It is thought that Von Scheele may
succeed Von Wissmann, whose health is
broken down.
While the emperor takes a trip to the
North seas the empress and the four
yogngest princes will reside at Wilhelms-
