Tlie Jackson (Mitts ) Nexet pives lha j folliiwiuu account or tilts Ray Jackson f got his title : All Americans sr<- familiar with the soubriquet of (Jen. Jackson (Obi Hick- ' "17.) J'1 ">rj few know bow it wa* earned by the old hero ; In 1836 I wig intimately acquainted with Col John Allen, United SlnUxt RRCnt of the Chickasaw Indians, residing ,in Pontotoc ; and with his brother. ' Capt William Allen, thru a merchant in lhal lowo. I learned from Captain ; tu Allen- that his f.ilier was ■ nesr \ neighbor mid devoied friend of General Jackson, and thst he and his brother • auu ana , lie ail u Ilia nruilier

j John serred as sobliers in bis escort, in ■II his campaigns at d camped at lite , same fire; and messed with liirn during ; the Creek War. They were certainly gteai favorites with him ; and he rewarded them fur their friendsnip by giving ; them lucrative appointments in Ihe I1 Chickasaw nation while he was President. In conversation with Capt. Allen about Gen. J'ckson, nn one occasion, I ^ ; ask. d hi in how he acquired ih • nam- of ! "Old Hickory " I give his reply, as • ell at 1 can remember, iu bit own : words s I "During the campaign which included I the battle of Etnuckfaw Creek, the army was moving rapidly to Surprise the Indians, and we were without ienis lo j the month of March a cold iquinbctial I r"'i> fdl on us, ming'ed wi h sleet, which > lasted several days - The Gener I was exposed to the Weather, and was suffering severely with • bad c Id and sure throat. At night we bivouacked in • muddy h-ittora, «h'le it was pouring down rain, which froze as it fell. My brother John slid I, finding that he was unwell, became uneasy about him, although be did not complain, and laid i down upon the blanket bv the camp fife j with his suldfers. Seeing him wet to ' die skin, streiched in the mud and ws- j ter, in bis tufiering condition, we deter- j mineA»to try and make him more com- ' forumle "AVe cut down a slont hickory tree in j whiib^the Sap was riling, and peeled the j i bark from it in large fl.,kes; cut two ; Turks and a pole, laid down • floor of j ' j bark and dead leaves, and roofed it and j : closed one side, or rather one end of the j ' structure against ihe wind, with bark, < | Bud left the other open. We then dried ] i our blankets, and made bim a pallet in the tent we had coastrnpud. We woke up the old Gi-neral^psifl with tome diffi I rulty, persuaded bim to crawl is. With , bit Baddla Ipr s pillow, wrapped in oar r dry blaskett, and his feet to the fire, lie slept snugly and soundly all night, wall r Cased IB hickory hark. "The wexi morning an old man from y - tiis wetgbboi flood came into ramp with • jug of whiidty. with which, after imhibI g quite fri-ely himself, he gave ut all a ! ■•lroAl,'• AS far as the Iiqaor would go. - * " T** 4

' He 'eemed to h» a kind-lrearted. juvi«l - ' and pttr otic old fellow; a sort of a 'pri- - vilcged character' in his county^ While j staggerifflTabout among the camp fires, j I full of.fun and whisky, he blundered, upon our little hi< kory bark tent, which j immediately arrested his attention — After eyeing it for a moment he ex '.claimed: 'What sort of an outlandish j Indian fixin' is this ?' and gave it a kick j which tumbled dawn the queer looking j structure, and completely buried the old i hero in bark. Aa he struggled out of I ihe ruins, ind looked fiercely around for j the sutbor of the mischief, the old toper ! recogmzed him, and exclaimed : 'Hello, Old Hickory ! come out of your bark, ; and j >iu us ill a drink. 1 "There was something so ludicrous in j the whole scene, that respect for his | presence and rank could not restrain our I merriment. He very good hnmorvdly j joined ur in laughing at t : e mishap. As | he rose up. and shook the imrk from j him. we all gave him a vira 'Hurrah f- r I j Old Hickory 1' This was the first time j he ever heard these words, which were I aftersnrds shouted hy Ihe millions of < I his countrymen whenever he appeared 1 Rfenong tlirra " I will uuly add that C«pt.

Influence of Newspapers. I Occasionally an (dividual says tq us. ! ; "timet are so h»rd with me, I must stop ! | my paper," or as in some instances, "my ; , j wife thinks we can dispense with -he pa- | per, and 1 must stop " Tims it is, tliey j "f slop the paper the first thing utaa use- < ] less expense without thinking of the j j actual wallte of inoui-y f-r things drai k. j j eat, smoked or chewed, w-hich cuii do the ; ! xvsti-in no C""1', but ruther harm. 1 Tlie newii|Miper can or should lie re- j ! girded rs a benefit io evary huuseliold i j { it imp«riR useful information; it furnishes j | subjects for thought and conveniaiion ; it adds a charm to social intercourse ; ii j ! makes agreeable members of sociciy.

Never he guilty of practical joke*; if: i, | yoo accustom yourself io them, ii is pro- | _ ! liable you will become so habituated a* j to commit them upon prrsoua who will ) not allow of such liherlies. i If there be another chair in the room, j , j do not offer a lady that from which you , j have just risen. f Never converse while a person is sing- ! I i* ing ; it is an insult not only to the singer, J ' r but to the company. t The essential part of good breeding j . is the praclical desire to afford pleasure, j , and to avoid giving pain. Any man j : possessing this desire, reqnires only op- j , , pnrtunity and obyrvatiou to make him- : , . .self a gentleman. i . j Do not affect singularity of dress by : ' ; wearing anything that is so conspicuous ; 1 , | as to demand attention ; ami pariicularly , , . nroidovhai I believe 1 most call the ruf- i .
