PoLiTENEss.-Ther are none of the

AARoN BURR. About the year l795
Colonel Burr was owner of nearly one
fourth of q block fronting Nassau, Ce-
dar and Liberty-sts, and Broadway
He was an eminent lawyer, with an ex-
tensive practice. I was informed by one
ofthe profession that his practice at one
period was worth $4,000 year. I
used frequently to sit on juries in the
old City Hail. (now the site OF the Gus
tom house. J when Hamilton and Burr
were the opposing counsel. They were
both acute la ..yers and eloquent speak
ers. A remarkable inc dent took place
one day. They were trying the validi-
ty oil a will. Hamilton having the will
In his hand, happened to hold il between
the window and his eyes. He rose, and
prayed the Court TO stay the proceed
ings, and handed the will up to the
Judge: q think it was Brockhalst Liv-

please, there is witness from heaven
that will set this matter al rest. II the
court please, hold the instrument so as
to look through the paper. The water
mark is dated five years after the will
was signed. The testator could not
make will five years after he was
dead" or course a verdict for the de-
iendant was given at once.
In the year 1900, COL Burr was elect
cd to the Office of Vice President of the
United States. On the flth of July.
1901, he retired from political lite. The
iatnl termination of the duel with HanIl
ton, 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 western States, for the
purpose of getting up an expedition a.
gainst Mexico, Tor which he was tried
for high treason. He then fled TO Eng
land, where his papers were seized, and
himself thrown into prison. He wds
liberated soon after, travelled in France
aud Germany, and returned to New
York in 1879. He resumed the prac-
tice of law at No. Is Nassau-st. Being
lightly esteemed by his fellow citizens,
the effort was unsuccessful, and he soon
