SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 13. 1886. ‘•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. I 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. . vou have much trouble in getting your children to take medicine? ’ said 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 ing that I nm rujt anxious for him to take it.

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 Globe-. Democrat. A Silent Fl;:hter.
