Aaron Burr.

About the year 1895, Colonel Burr was
owner of nearly one fourth of block front
ing Nassau, Cedar, and Liberty streets
Broadway. He was an eminent lawyer,
with an extensive practice. / was infor-
med by one of the profession that his prac-
tice at one period was worth ten thousand
dollars year. used frequently to sit
on juries in the old City Hall (now the
site of the custom house) when Hamilton
and Burr were the opposing COUNSEL
They were both acute lawyers and elo-
quent speakers. A remarkable incident
took place one day. They were trying
the validity of a will. Hamilton having
the will in his hand, happened to hold it
between the window and his eyes. He
rose, and prayed the court to stay the
proceedings, and handing the will up to
the Judge, 1 think it was Brockholst Liv-
ingston) remarked: "If the court please,
there is witness from Heaven that will
set this matter at rest. If the court
please, hold the instrument so as to look
through the paper. the water-mark is
dated five years after the will was sign
ed. The testator could not make a will
five years after he was dead" OF course
verdict for the defendant was given at
once.
In the year 1900, Colonel Burr was
elected to the office of Vice President OF
the United States On the 18th of July,
1904, he retired from political life. The
fatal termination of the duel with Ham,
ilton, and the verdict of "wilful murder
rendered by the coroner's jury, caused
him to absent himself from this part of
the country. He travelled through the
southern and westesn States, for the pur-
pose of getting up an expedition against
Mexico, for, which he was tried for high
treason. He then fed to England, where
his papers were seized, and himself
thrown into prison. He was liberated
soon afer, travelled in France and Germa-
ny, and returned to New York in 1912.
He resumed the practice of law at No 15
Nassau street. Being lightly esteemed
by dis fellow citizens, the effort was un-
successful, and he soon fell into decay In
mind, body, and estate. Mathew l.. Da-
Wis, his last solitary friend, stuck to him
closer than brother, and had him lodg-
ed in solitary hut, with lonely window,
on the desert sand bank in the wildS of
Staten Island. Here, through the boun-
ty of Mr.. Davis, he lived for eighteen
months; and here, on the night of the
14th of September, 1886, died Aron Burr,
in the eighty-frst year of his age, with
not a friend to close his eye, or wipe the
dew-drops of death from his brow. Wash
ington, Adams, Jay, and Hamilton died
surrounded by weeping friends, and their
graves bedewed by the tears of conti-
nent. ''He that honoreth me l will hon.
or; he that despiseth me shall be lightly
esteemed" saith the book whose Author
is Divine. Burr was buried at Princeton,

A western sturnp OratIou.

The subjoined anecdote of dema-
gogue candidate for the Legislature of a
western State, man of low moral stat
ure, has been sent US by a new cores
pondent:
There was stump speaking and
Abner G. D, had the platform, en-
lightning the 'unterifed' long and loud
ly. Fellow citizens said he, I now
come to slanderous rumor which has
been most dastardly circulated against
me from one end of the country to the
other Ny enemies not content with
endeavoirng to ruin my political pros
pect, have assassin-like, attempted to
blast my good name by their insiduous
reports. Abner then stated what the
rumor was, and continued: 4 rejoice, fell
low citizens, to have it in my power in
stantly to fasten the lie on this mali
cious and atrcious SANDER. [ see among
you one of the most estimable citizens of
the country, whose character for truth
and integrity is above all question:
Squire Schooler, to whom | allude, is ac-
quainted With all the facts, and / call on
him here to state whether this rumor is
true or false. pause for a reply
Whereupon Squire Sohooler slowly
arose, and in his strong, slow and sono-
rous voice, said--
Il rather think you did it, Abner.'
'You old scoundrelp exclaimed Abner,
why do you interrupt me, while | am
discussing great constitutional questions,
with your low personalities And he
accompanied this objurgatory exclama-
tion with such fsurge of gesticulation,
that he stepped beyond the platform, fell
backward on a big dog, amid the howls
of which, and the deafening roars of the
'soyeriegns, the meeting was efectually
broken up Kascherbockcr.

A Story of a Wooden Leg.

A Boston correspondent of the " y Spir-
ii Of the Times gives the following amusing
yarn.
l heard a good story the other day, which
will tell you. A distinguished member of the
legislature was addressing temperance So
ciety, and he got rather prosy, but showed no
disposition to "let up" though the audience
waxed thinner and thinner Finally, the
presiding officer got excited, and repairing to
q friend of the speakers, inquired how much
longer he might reasonably be expected to
speak! Whereupon the friend answered he
didn't exactly know-when he got on that
branch of the subject he generally spoke a
couple of hours
'fThat'll never do; I've got to make few
remarks myself" said the President, " how
shall | stave him Off"
Well, don't KNOWN the first place
should pinch his left leg, and then if he
shouldn't stop, I'd stick pin in it.
The President returned to his seat, and his
head was INVISIBLE for a moment. Soon after
wards he returned to the "brother" who had
prescribed "the pin style of treatment" and
said: y
"a Pinched him, and he didn't take the
least notice at allj stuck pin into his leg,
and he didn't seem to care d-n; crook

Now, water is one of the best conductors of
heat, and moves it so rapidly from the body
as to cause general chill But this is not
all; the moisture in the tissue of the linen
has SO great capacity and attraction for heat
that 1T continues to rob the body more of that
element, until the whole ofthe fluid is evapora-
ted. These circumstances have caused the en-
tire abandonment of linnen as covering next
the skin, in hot climates, where the apparel
must be necessarily thin. But in temperate and
cold climates we get over the inconvenience
by wearing over the linen a woolen or leath-
er covering in the winter, and cotton or
thin woolen in the summer Erasmus WilI-

DUcIs PRAYER.

A Dutch preacher, who was warmly in
clined towards the tory party during the
Revolutionary war, happened once to get
into an American camp, on Sunday, and
was consequently called upon for SER
mon and a prayer. He from force of
habit commenced the latter with-'Got
bless the king'-whereupon there was
considerable excitement among the SOL
diers, when he perceiving it, with admi-
rable presence of mind, said Yes, mine
hearers, [ zas Got pless te king-pless

Good RetOrt.

A humorous young man was driving a
horse, which was in the habit of stopping
at every house on the roadside; passing
country tavern where were collected
together some dozen countrymen, the
beast as usunl, ran opposite the door and
then stopped in spite of the young man,
whe applied the whip with all his might,
to drive the horse on; the men on the
porch commenced hearty laugh, and
some inquired if he would sell that
horse? eyes," said the young man, "but

longed to butcher, and stops whenever
he hears any calvs bleat." The crowd
retired to the bar in silence.

Fsalking OF Horses.

We have always looked upon the hab-
it of baking in horses as incurable.-
We have lately seen it stated that the
Mexicans overcome this propensity by
the following kindly treatment:
The driver approaches the head of
the horse, pats him gently on the neck
and head, speakink soothingly to him all
the while; after few minutes, while the
horses sulky humor somewhat subsidies,
the driver commences to blow very gently
up the horses nostrils, which he continues
to do few minutes, then sooths aud pats
him again, and repeats the blowing up
the nostsils, when, it is said, the animal
will be found to have beon subdued.7-
This is the plan, also, as stated by Catlin,
that the Buffalo calvs are tanned by the
Indians; whether it viii prove successful
in conquering this radical fault in the
horse, we know not; it may hcwever, be
worth a trial. -
So far as our experianco goes, kindness
is one of the best correctiyes of bad habits,
either in man or beast, and it may be
that the gentle treatment indicated above
may be eficaeious,

that many of them were as much Mortified as

other victim awaited his fate This was the

Again there took place bartering for hi.

declaring that he would not give the four dol
lars already earned, unless the head of the
second criminal was cut off. To this the execu
toner was at length forced to consent This
request being acceded to- he took off his ga.
leb, and giving it to the soldier who perform.
ed this act of kindness to him said, "Accept
this; we shall yet meet in another world. -
His turban he threw to another who had ut.
tered word of pity, instead of joining in the
insulting shout of the soldiery; and walking
steadily to the spot where his companion lay,
he cried out with distinct voice-"There is
no God but God, and Mahomet is his prophet. y
Then turning to the executioner, he loosed
his girdle, and gave it to him, saying" Fol

| rushed away in horror; and soon after
ward we saw the soldiers bearing in their
hands the two bleeding heads.
No sooner were the gates opened, than a
troop of boys rushed out and attacked the ex-
ecutioner with stones. The man fled into
the country, pursued by young mob-and ii
was reported he had fallen senseless some
three miles from the town, covered with a
hundred bruises.
On entering the town, the soldiers seized
the frstJew they met, and obliged him to salt
the heads, which were subsequently hung
from the top of the square tower on the town
wall, fronting the great market place.
AS returned homeward, | met in the little
sok Ree6an, whom knew to be cousin
to the deceased gardener, armed with brace
of pistols and a dagger, hurrying along. On
asking him what was the matter, he replied,
Il am about to revenge the death of my rela-
ton on that accursed stranger, who alone was
found ready to cause our blood to fow"
Next day it was reported the executioner
had been shot and buried on the spot. No in
vestigation was had by the authorities Of Tan

unmolested.
After three days exposure, the heads were
sent to the Sultan, to convince his imperial
majesty that his orders had been obeyed.-
They were met on the road by courier bring
ing reprieve, who was said to have been de-
tained in consequence of one of the rivers
being impossible from heavy rains.

The way-Farins MAN.


A poor way-faring man of grief
Hath often crossed me on my way,
Who sued SO humbly for relief,
That I could never answer nay;
! had not power to ask his name,
Whittier he went or whence he came;
Yet there was something in his eye
That Won nay love, know not why.
Once when my scanty meal was spread,
He entered-not word he spake,
Just perishing for want of bread,
gave him all-he blessed it, brake
And ate, but gave me part again;
Mine was an angels portion then
And while fed with eager haste,
The crust was mama 10 my taste.

Clear from the rock-his strength was gone
The needless water Knocked his thirst;
He heard it, saw it burrying on.

Thrice from the stream he drained my cup,
Dipped, and returned it running Ger

Twas night. The floods were out; it blew
A wintry hurricane aloof;

To bid him welcome to my roof

Laid him on my own couch to rest,
Then made the earth my bed, and seemed
In Eden's garden while dreamed

Revived his spirit, and supplied
Wine, oil, refreshment; he was heald.

But from that hour forgot the smart,
And peace bound upon my broken heart.
In prison, ! saw him next condemned
To meet traitors doom at morn;
The tide of lying tongues stemmed,
And honored him mid shame and scorn.
Ny friendships utmost zeal to try,
He asked me if for aim would die.
The flesh was weak, my blood ran chill,
But the free spirit cried, q | will -
Then in a moment, TO my view,
The stranger started from disguise;
The tokens in his hands knew

"Of me thou hast not been ashamed

variety of remedies, | have found that a
