CURIous STArHrIcs.-Thc whole number Of per-
sons who arrived in the United States from foreign
countries during the year 1853. exclusive of those
landing in California, were 36o,6i3. OF this
number. over 500 200 were Irish or German, So
5i3 from England, and To- 10 from France. None
from Russia, Austria or Hungary. The males
outnumhered the females some seventy odd thou
sand Tho occupations of the immigrants are a
curious study. There were 4S,432 farmers and
1906 laborcrs, and as the male immigrants above
the age of 20 were only l62,lSS, it will be seen
that these two classes comprised very large pro-
portion of the aggregate. There were 1897
mechanics and 6.9S5 female servants 4 great
many of the latter class must also be comprised
in the 81 300 females whose occupationw was not
stated since ladies are sometimes privileged to
refuse to tell their business as we'll rs their age.

Alexander UAMILToN.--IIamilton was most
thoroughly imbued with of Burr's I'M
worthiness, and deemed it due to his country to
balk his election over jefferson; and did His
letters to the federal members of Congress painted
Burr in his true character, and dashed far from
his grasp and forever, the oiled prize his hand
was touching. For that Illustration of his hopes,
four years aftcrward, he killed Hamilton in a
duel, having on the part of Burr the spirit of an
assassination -cold-blooded, calculated, revenge
full. and falsey-prctexted. He alleged some
trivial and recent matter for the challenge, such
as would not justify it in any code of honor:
and went to the ground to kill upon an old
grudge which he was ashamed to avow. Hard
was the fate Of lamilton-losing his life at the
early age of forty seven, for having done justice
to his country in the person of the man to whom
he stood most politically opposed, and the chief
of the party by which he had been constrained to
retire from the scene of public life at the age
of thirty eight-the age at which most others
begin it, he having accomplished gigantic works.
lie was the man most emnently and variously
endowed of all The eminent men of his day; ut
once soldier and statesman. with a head to con-
ceiye and hand to execute; q writer, an orator. II
Jurlst; an organizing mind, able to grasp the
greatest system and administrative, to execute
the smallest details: wholly turned to the prac-
teal business of life, and with a capacity for
application and production which teemed with
gigantic lahorS. each worthy to be the sole pro-
duct of single master intel!cct but lavished in
letters from the overcoming fecundity of his
prolific genius. Hard his fate. when he felt HIM
self constrained to appeal to posterity for that
justice which contemporaries withheld from him.
And the appeal was not in vain. Statues rise to
his memory: history embalms his name; poster
ity will do justice 10 the man who at the age of
twenty, was ''the principal and most influential
aid of Wa>hngon,'' who, retained the love and
confidence of the father of his country to the
last, and to whom honorable opponents, while OPP
posing his system of policy, accorded honor and
patriotism, and social affections, and transcend
entail abilities. This chapter was commenced to
write a notice of the character Of Colonel Burr:
but that subject will not remain under the pen.
At the appearance of that name, the spirit of
Hamilton starts up to rebukc the intrusion. to
drive back the foul apparition to its gloomy
abode, and to concentrate all generous feeling on
itself.-Col Benton.

to speak to him. His letter earnest in its
supplications for forgiveness. 1t concluded with :
''One word from your lips will make me happy
When and where will you speak 20
Her answer was:

But the shortest correspondence on record is the
one between an Amsterdam merchant in want Of
news, and his London agent. The letter ran thus:
