Madame Jumel, Widow of Aaron
Burr.

We have heretofore announced the arrival
of this distinguished lady in our midst,
whose visits to Saratoga are as regular as
the seasons, AMI whose annual return is
looked for with as much pleasure as that OF
long absent friend.
Size comes here ostensibly TO look after
an estate which she owns, located near our
village, but like all other ladies she mingies
with, and seems to enjoy, the festivities oi
this gay watering place with as much de light
as if she was the reigniDg belle of the sea-
son.
Madame Jumel, once the wife and now
the widow OF The celebrated Aaron Burr, is
indeed a very remarkable woman. Although
she has out-liveG most Of her contempora-
ries, having attained to upwards of eighty
years, she seems to be just as full OF life
and vivacity as she was forty years ago, and
apparently possessing all her faculties un-
impaired.
She still keeps up her splendid country
seat, which is located at Washington
Heights. on the Island of New York, and
which she has owned FOR upwards Of half a
century. This residence, which ia unsur-
passed for the beauty Of its location, was
at one period during the revolutionary war
the headquarters of General Washington
while the American army were encamped
at Fort Washington. The mansion and
grounds have been adorned by Madame Ju-
mel, by many rare objects of art, collected
by her during her travels in foreign coun'
| tries.
Nothing seems to afford this lady more
deligh, than to sit down with friend ant
recount the vicissitudes of her long ant
eventful life, and the varied scenes through
which she has passed, both in her owl
country and in Europe. She has no hesl'
tancy in giving her life as the wife of Burr
and although she has voluntarily dropPe'
his name and appears to take no pride il
having been associated with one who wa
so distinguished among American statesmen
vet whilst sojourning in foreign countrie
she has usually traveIed under the name o
Burr.
4 This lady, with an ample fortune at he
command, dispenses it for the encourage
ment of benevolent and praiseworthy Oh
> iects and to beaefii her friends-with
consciousness that she has glided thus ia
/, down the stream of time without anythin
on her part to cause regret for the past o
fear for the future. She seems to be hap
piest when contributing to the happiness @
t those sbout her. We hope the evening o
her davs may be as happy and serene a
3 her past history has been prosperous, an
!, that she may continue to have her. snnua
visit to Saratoga Springs for long years
come.-Sdraiogd Sentinel.

Madison on Squatter Sovereignty

Madison on Squatter Sovereignty.
The doctrine of squatter independence,
of which Douglas claims the paternity, is
not such novelty es some of his friends
seem to suppose. Arthur St. Clair, when
Governor OF the Northwest Territory, thus
asserted it in its fullest extent, in an off,
cial address:
"For all internal affairs we have a COM
plete Legislature OF our own, and .hey are
no more bound by an act of Congress than
BY an edicr of the First Consul of France. !"
How the genuine Democracy of those
early days regarded this doctrine, is suffi-
ciently indicated in the folio Sing document
fl ON President Madison:
"SIR-The President observing in an ad-
dress lately delivered by you to the Con-
vention at Chillco.he, an intempersnce and
indecorum of language towards the Legis-
lature of the United States, and disorgan-
king spirit and tendency Of every evil
example, and grossly violating the. rules OF
conduct enjoined by your public station,
determines that your commission of Cover
nor of the Northwestern Territories shal
ceas or the receipt of this notiiic ation.

- Anecdotes Of Mr.. Brunei.
Mr. Brunek the famous Epgli,b euoir

Mr.. Brunch the famous English engineer,
though ofvery small stature, had a COM
man6ing presence. His industry was un.
firing. and the paralysis of which he died in
his ffty-four,h year was the natural result
Of an overtasked brain and care less regimen.
He was an inyeterate smoker, and at the
commencement of his engineer 'ng csree 7
was never without cigar in his mouth
He frequently worked twenty hours day
and as frequently all night; and the writer
of his memoir has known him to abstain
from going to bed an entire week. With
the exception o. smoking, he was temperate
and even abstemious. In 1885 he married
Miss Fanny Halsey, of Kensington. by
whom he had one son. His great engineer
ing achievements are famiiar to the world.
Few Of the enterprises he projected profited
the sfockhoiders, ans 5y many he was con-
'demned for the extrassgance Of the means
unemployed to effect his objects. From an
interesting biography in The North Ameri-
can we take noticeable anecdote of the
great engineer:
He had a remarkably narrow escapes from
death on one occasion. He had invited a
juvenile party to his house, and by way Of
amusing the children was performing some
conjuring tricks. One of these consisted
in pretending to swallow a piece of money
and bring it out at the ear. lie took half
sovereign, "a coin about the size Of half
dime) and jerking it into his mouth, but so
violently that i. entered the windpipe,
where it stuck edgewise. Surgeons were
sent for, but all their efforts to extract it
proved ruthless. He remained two days in
a state of choking, but at last cured himself
by means of frame that he caused to be
constructed, which was so centrived as to
hold him upside down; and while in this
position, by incessant patting on the back.
the obstinate coin was at last dslodged, and
Mr.. Brunei recovered from his imminent
danger. We believe this to be the only
known instance of substance remaining in
the windpipe without causing deuth.

sJ1he following beautiful poem is from the con
fast Tsbler in the October number of the Allan
fie- 1t is not excelled, to our tsste by anything
the language:
UNDER THE VlOLETS.
Her hands are cold; her face is white;
No more ber pulses come and go; Z
Her eyes are shut TO life and light;-
Fold the white vesture, snow on snow,
And lay her where the yiolets grow.
But not ssneath craven stone,
To plead ior tears with alien eyes;
A slender cross OF wood alone,
Shall say, that here ma iden lies
In peace beneath the peaceful skies
And gray old trees of hugest limb
Shall wheel their circling shadows round
Tomeke the scorching sunlight dim
1hatdrinks the greeuness irem the ground
And drop their dead leaves on her mound.
Whsn DER their bouehs the squirrels rum.
And through the leaves the robins call,
And, npening in the autumn sun,
The acorns and the ehesnuts fall.
Doubt not that she will heed them all.
-s'--sg - shs~.s,si-z :sssss,sns1f.ias
Its mathis IRON the branches high.
And every minsrei-voice OF spnng,
hat trils beneath :he April sky,
Shall gree her With lis earliest cry.
When, turning round their dial-track.
Eastward the Iengthening shadows pass,
Her little mourners clad in black,
The crickels, sliding through the grass,
Shall pipe for an evening mass.
AT last the rootets Of the trees
Shall find the prison where she lies,
And bear the buried dust they seize
In leaves and blossoms to the skies;
tssl So may the soul that wnrmedit iise!
If any born Of kindlier blood,
Should ask, What maiden lies belowl
q. Say only fhis: A tender bud,
n That tried 10 blossom in tie snow,
= Lies withered where the violets blow.

POPULATION OF THE DUCHY OF PARMA

The Parma Ga-ette of May , contains the following
proclamation, addressed to the people by the Duchess
before her departure:
I've, Louise Marie de Bourbon, Regent for Duke
Robert first of the States of Parma, considering that
the humane desires of the Great Powers have not yet
succeeded in assembling European Congress in which
means would have been sought to smooth existing diff
fcutes by wise and reasonable concessions
and considering that has broken out very close To
Royal States, it is duty as mother to provide
for the saet of well-beoved children against the
cventuates Of the war. We have consequently
thought tit to withdraw temporarily from our State,
and to appoint our Ministers as a Government Com.
mission To appoint during absence in the name OF
Duke Robert l., with our full power and authority,
coniomably to established laws and forms, and in case
of need, in conformity with the special instructions
which have given to them, applicable to extraor-
dnary circumstances. In the full confidence that
shall very shortly resume in person the duties of
regency, we most iervently and sincerely pray that
our well-beoved country may be preserved from all
calamity and that humane feelings and the councils of
reason may prevail in all minds.
