Ab Arrest by Jacksoa aad a Time He Didn't Dance. It was a fighting age in which An* drew Jackson lived, and every man who expected to command the respect of the world went prepared not only to fight at a moment's notice, bat also to meet his man on the field of honor. It can be easily imagined that Andrew Jackson, with his excitable nature, his domineering manner and his habit as regarding every opponent as a personal enemy, was by no means the most peaceably disposed citlxen of the new settlements of Tennessee. The stories of all his brawls and duels would fill a volume. Jackson's superb nerve is well illustrated by the following anecdote which comes down to us from the time when he was supreme judge on the Tennessee bench. One day a desperado named Bean paraded up and down in front of the log court house and threatened to shoot sheriff, judge and jury. Twice Jackson ordered the micnu iu arresi me man, ana twice the sheriff was overawed by the desperado's threats and formidable appearance. "Deputise me. I'll arrest him myself!" said Jackson, losing patience The sheriff complied, and Jackson, taking two pistols, walked out into the street. Bean at once meekly surrendered "When the judge come walkln* out," Bean afterward Explained, "I looked him in the eye. an' I saw shoot, an' there hadn't been shot in nary other eye in the crowd. So I says to myself, says 1, Ole hoss, it's about time to sing small,' and so 1 did." On another occasion, while Jackson was riding circuit, he was stopped by two rivermen?of the class whose boasts It was that they were "half bcree. half alligator, tipped with snapping turtle"?and was told that he would have to dance for their edification. Jackson meekly answered that he was not accustomed to dancing without pumps, but that they were in his saddlebags and if his captors would permit ho would put them on before giving the performance. Nothing loath, they consented. Jackson accordingly opened the bag and. plunging in both hands, drew them out with a pistol in each. Pointing them full at the men. he roared: - Ml 1 J a 1 J 11 wr wdu aws int* uancing! Dance. you devils! Dance!*'. They danced.?Chicago Tribune.

Richey Gets Fourteen Years. Abbeville. March 4.?One of the most sensational cases in the recent criminal annals of this section was concluded to-day. when R. A. Richey. a prominent planter of Abbeville county, was convicted of criminal assault with recommendation to mercy, the charge being that he ruined in his own home a yong girl whom he adopted after the death of her father, when she wes a baby. The girl was at the time of the alleged crime under 14 years of age. the constitutional age of consent The girl is now an inmate of the Door of Hope in Columbia. Richey is a man of family. Xo force in the commission of the crime was alleged, the State relying upon the theory that the girl was under the age of consent. Judge Dantzier refused a motion for new trial. Tnder the special statute covering the case the recomI mendation to mercy reduced the punj ishment from death to not more than | fourteen years' imprisonment, the i child being at the time over ten years of age. Judge Dantzier gave Richey j the full penalty of the law. sentenc J ms nini to fourteen years in the pemj tentiary.
