‘•Aunt Kachal.”
Before leaving his rural homo in Ten
nessee, writes a correspondent of the New
York Commercial Advertiser, Gen. Jack
sen had been afflicted by tho sudden
death of his wife “Aunt Rachal," as
Mrs, Jackson whs called by her husband’s
personal friends, had accompanied him to
Washington when he was there as senator
from Tennessee. Bhn was a short, stout,
unattractive and uneducated woman,
though greatly endeared to Gen. Jackson.
While he had been in the army she had
carefully managed his plmitation, his
slaves and his money matters, and her
devonon to him knew no bounds. Her
h »i :.>ss was .-enter.■ 1 in his, and it was
■ ’•f desire to smoke her corncob
pipe in pen e at his -.ide. When told
that Lo had been clf-ct’d president of the
' United States sire* tepi cd: “Well, for
i Mr. Jackson's sake I am glad of it, but
for rayself lam not." A few weeks later
she was arrayed for the grave in a white
satin costume which she had provide;!
herself with to wear at the white house.
At ter her funeral her sorrow-stricken
husband came to Washington with a
strong determination to punish those who
had maligned her during the preceding
campaign. Having been told that Presi
dent Adams had sanctioned the publica
tion of the slanders, he did not cal! at the
white house, in accordance with usage,
but paid daily visits to his old friends in
the war department. Mr. Adams, stung
■ by this neglect, determined not to play
I the part of the conquered leader at tho
■ inauguration, and quietly removed to
j tho house of Commodore Porter, in the
suburbs, on the morning of the third of
I March.

Denth in Boiling Steel.
It is long since the newspapers re -
corded any accident so horrible as the
death of the Woolwich molder who was
overwhelmed by a cataclysm of boiling
steel, and it is not often that so strange
a ceremony as the burial of poor Mori
arty is described in black and white.
The fact is, the poor fellow now is part
of a CO-ton gun, in which form he will
continue to serve his country. Yet, odd
ly enough, he was buried yesterday.
For some ashes and fragments of cloth
ing were collected from the ingot and
shoveled into the coffin, which was fol
lowed to the grave by what is called an
imposing cortege. This solemn but con
i solatory farce calls to mind another case
! somewhat similar,which forms one of the
j ghastly legends of AL SHL -borough. A
I laborer had tumbled h«a d foremost into
the fiery liquid, and nothing of him was
left. But they ran a coffin full of slag,
and held an inquest over it, and laid it
i in consecrated ground in the orthodox
’ manner.—JfuZZ Gueetftf.
Had Never Been Introduced.
| A good-natured newspaper chap was
| at a picnic and rashly spoke to a young
I lady without the formality of an intro
i duction. lie happened to sec a great
I fat caterpillar crawling on her lace collar,
■ and jumping toward het 1 sltfu!
! “Madam, permit me to ”
But the young lady waved him off
i with an imperious and insulting gesture
; and said: “How dare you speak to me
without an introduction. You are cer
tainly no gentleman, sirl”
Here the caterpillar overbalanced
itself and fell down her neck.
“Vouch 1 Oh! Helpl Take it off! Oh,
please do take it off, somebody!’’ scream
; ed the fair one. The newspaper man
■ was the only “somebody" around and he
I said: “I couldn't think of it, madam;
I haven’t been introduced to the catcr
j pillar.— Chicago Tribune.
No Trouble. .

I Mr-. Green, addressing Mrs. Back.
“None at all."
“How do you manage it?"
“Well, for instance, when I want my
boy to take castor oil, I pour the oil into
a glass and saA ‘II re, Terri, drink this,
but you needn'tpsk for any in >rc.’ Then
he drinks it wit# apparent relish, believ

How to Destroy Rats.
An attempt to catch rata by traps oi
i by poisoning them suddenly will fail.
I Old rats know too much and can only be
j caught by kindness. To destroy them
give them a good meal every day. Do
not put any poison in the food, bur
simply pr -pare a dish for tliera daily, as
a Iree lunch, composed of corn meat
moistened with milk, into nhich an egg
and a little salt, t> season, has been
beaten. AL first, they may not. touch it,
but keep it before them making it fresh
daily They wdl soon try a little ard if
not injurious their susu cm is will bo
allayed. In ,n iv«A or ten d.iv i they
i will expect it ami every rat on the place
> will bo at the appoints I spot for the
. treat. Give plenty of it so as to inducet
all the rata in the neighborhood to join
in. Do not be in a hurry to poison them.
If they cat all the food give them a h>.r
--' ger quantity next time. As soon as they
have thrown off all suspicion go to your
druggist, get some phosphorus p iste or
other rat poison, mix it with the food,
and be sure you give thorn enough and
something to spare, so as to induce all
to eat. They will either be killed or
become so suspicious of all other food as to
leave, and not a rat will remain. Hence
to destroy rats, take plenty of time, gain
their confidence and finish them when
they least expect it b'arm, Field, and
Stockman.
Now fork’s L’alidial Structures-
Go away up town, in the vicinity of
Central Park, and look over some of the
enormous structures there, writes a New
York correspondent of the Boston Herald.
Vast piles of apartment buildings upon,
which millions and millions of dollars
j have been expended meet the eye almost
everywhere. Moreover, the fact of their
costliness docs not go unseen. From
eaves to cellar, from capstone to gutter,
it sticks out everywhere, so that he who
runs may read. There is not a corner or
a pillar, or a doorway that does not tell
of vast expenditure. What is the re
suit? Why, in those great buildings
single sutfos of apartments command
rentals that run up into the air as high as
the buildings themselves It is not at al!
uncommon to pay $10,090 a y rar for a
flat in one of these great buildings. And
that is just where the return comes in.
There uro plenty of people, too, who are
willing to pay for the privilege of occu-
• Py in g any one of these great tiers of
palaces—-for they are alike p alatial inside
and out. And further investigation
shows that the old apartment houses,
upon which the money was spent inside
the walls exclusively, are petering out in
proportion to the growth of the demand
for homing places in these bigger and
more gorgeous structures.
Hoop Snakes.
Tho scientific editor of the Philadel
phia Ncuia asserts that there is no such
reptile as the hoop snake. He is cer
tainly mistaken. That the snake is rare
cannot be but hit it exists is a
settled fact, am* it gains it; name from
the habit of for ning itself into the shape
of a hoop when alm med. The hoop
snake has been freq icntly seen in Texas,
where curious creeping reptiles abound,
and while there is no authenticated case
of death from its bite, yet it is greatly
feared by the natives, and especially the
i negroes. It is alleged that the snake
| carries its poison in a sac located near
| the tail, and that when unarmed it
I promptly reaches for the weapon of
| destruction, thus forming a veritable
! hoop. Stories of its locomotion in this
I shape arc undoubtedly exaggerated, but
; there is little doubt of the existence of
| the reptile. It is considere I deadly,and
i the po| u ar belief where it exists is that
its po son w;E b ight a tree. <S'4. LouU
