Jacksen wai born In Marylaud, and was brought te I.iucajtter by hla moth or wheu be waa a mere child. When only aetn jearseld he was put te work In the " old factory" at the feet of Hookland street. A few jears later he waa ompleyod as erraud buy In the dry goods store of Mr. Hoflmeler, en North Queen street, where It .. Hlirolu Hlirelu er'a muilastore new stands. He was aoen advanced te a clerkship and romained with Mr. Hoffmelor until about 1410, when he be came a salesman In the comb aud vailety store of Jehn Htialluer, then carried ou In the building new occupied as a jewelry store by B. Z. Hhrelner. Here he remained until lSIi, when he and the lain Mlohael Zilim bought out Mr. Shall". net's establishment, and oarrled en the Jew. elry, comb and arlety bualnewi In which they were ery anccesaful. In lW-ltiey sold out te Hhreluer it Ilrcther, and Mr. Jack seu aoceptod a position lu tbe 0111 oe of Hen. Thca, H. Burrowes, then secretary of the common wealth, and remained with him a year or two. In lbV he becHiue connected with the Inland Insurance aud DspOHlt company, and waa Its ouhler for urn oral years. It waa wblle he was cashier that Klljnh Piijjh over drew bis accounts heavily and failed te make geed hla overdrafts. Mr. Jacksen was charged with ctllclal nrgllgence and was suM by the representatives of the Institution. On quilting the Inland, Mr. Jacksen re tired te private life. Seven or eight years age he wasstrlckeu with paralysis, and had at Internals aeveral ether strokes, which lamed him aud nlleeted his speech. lu March, 1385, In descending the stair from his bed room, he foil nud breke the thigh Imuoef his paralyzed leg, and alter suUtring greatly died en the Hth of May, 183S. Mr. Jaoksen was an nctlve politician of the nUl Domceratlo school and from ISIS te 1W0 the llttle room In rear of Zitim .t Jacksen's store was the meeting placu whero Jacksen aud a dozen or mero of othera discussed mat tern of state. They wcre nutMlucbanau Democrats and when Mr. Hucbauau was nominated for the presidency in 1864 nearly all thorn left the parly and voted for I're ment , but Mr. Jaoksen remained true te his 1 principles and supported the Domecratlo ticket. In 1657 Mr. Jacksen was elocted city tress, n -fraud served acceptably for one or two yeara. When the Houtheru stutea seceded and the civil war follewod, Mr. Jacksen gave support te Mr. Lincoln's government, aud though net regarded as a strong party man generally eted the Republican ticket. Mr. Jaoksen lived and died a bachelor. He was a man of genoreua Impulses and was re garded us a very pleasant companion In the clrele In which he moved. Notwithstanding the few educational advanlagea he had In bja boyhood he was a well-informed and fairly educa'.ed man, and took a warm Interest In the public- schools and ether educational in in sjltutlens. Ills religion was of a liberal and uusoelarlan character, and It waa net nntll a short tlme bofero hla death that he counected himself with the Meiavlan church. It may be noticed as a curious clroumstance that Mr. JackBen'a death occurred In the aame building which for mero than half a century he had oeoupled as errand-boy, olerk and merchant : that ter forty yeara he oc cupied the bed-room In which be died; and for an equal length el time he beard ed at the Grape hotel and always occupied the same seat in the dining room.
