AARON BURR.-Arron.Burr was first personally
known to the author when in years, and linger-
ing, rather than practcing extensive, at the New
York bar. The latter drew many chancery plead
ings and dispositions, and made motions for him.
Burr had the power and it was his chief
strength-to make use of others. This he could
accomplish, but in no vulgar way. There was
no hand shaking, so common, and, from its utter
heartlessness, detestahle. On your entering the
room where he might be, he, after most per-
feet bow, motioned you TO chair some distance
off. Then, quietly fronting and fixing his re-
markable glittering, snake-like eyes upon you,
he would deliberately raise his right arm, and
pointing long, thin, white finger, slowly and
under his breath, with his lips scarcely open,
suggest, in words correctly sentenced, what he
wanted This long, thin, white finger was the
only member of his body at all in motion. and
that was moved in a measured manner and al
though Burr at distance, you fancied his
Heshless finger was feeling and controlling you
all over-you felt yourself the fly in the spider 5

The ONLY GOLD MEDAL.-The
Wheeler & Wilson is the only Sewing Ma
chine which received Gold Medal at the
Paris Exposition and stands at the head of
of all Sewing Machines in the world. Howe,
the inventor of the Howe Machine, received
a medal as the inuentor Of iSe,oing Machines,
but his machine is well known to be inferior
to the celebrated Wheeler d Wilson, which
combines all the valuable qualities of other
styles with many new improvements. These
facts can be proved to the satisfaction of any
one by a call at Mrs. M. Brockway's Millin-

The Pearl of 5avoy.-To-night the
Monumental club render their FIRST play this
season at Birchard Hall. The success Of
FASCHoN, last winter, led them to select the
Pearl Of Savoy" written by the same au-
thor and in which MAGGIE MIrcHEL has al
ways been fayorite. 1t is in many respects
superior to FaDchon and will, we think,
prove quite rs great favorits.
The first act opens in poor cottage under
the shsdOE of the Alps, the home of MARIE
the Pearl of Savoy" who is prosecuted by
the iutrigues of the COMMANDER who is her
evil genius. His first plot-to threaten to
drive her parents from their cottage, through
his agent LARoQUE, and then gain their favor
by appearing to intercede with the MARoHloN-
Ess, his sister, in their behalf-is exposed
by the good PasrsE. Who ~stns Marie Of her
danger and sends her 10 an old friend in
Paris, with company of peasants who are
about TO emigrste to seek their fortunes.
Marie goes without seeing her peasant lover
ANDRE, who Is really, ARTHUR. the son of
the Marchioness and nephew of the Com
mander, in disguise.
Arriving in Paris, she finds herself alone
in the great city. the friend of the Priest
having long since died, but her sweet voice
wins her friends and she earns an hOnesi
living and sends her little savings to her
parents in Savoy. Meantime Andre has
found her out and meets her as her teacher.
Her old friends OHoUCHoN, a wild peasant
girl, and PIEERUT, the rough but faithful
organ grinder, have also found her.
The Marehioness, who suspects Arthur's
love affair and is determined that he shall
marry one of his own rank in life calls on
Marie with the Commander, and engages
her TO sing at party to be given in honor
of the betrothsl Of Arthur 70 the Duchess
p'ELsEE. At the party Marie discovers that
her loyer Andre is q Marquis, sinks in a
svoon aud is left to the care of the Com
mander by the Marchioness, ohouchon
appears to save her friend but the Commaud-
er succeeds in carrying off Marie, who is |
rescued by Arthur and taken to his chateau,
WHICH he tells her is furnished by his
mother for her uee until their marriage can
take place. Meantime Arthur has consented |
TO marry in accordance with his mothers |
wishes. Marie's father, searching for his |
child, finds her at the chateau of MARQUIS,
disowns her and go"s back to Savoy broken |
hearted. Marie sees from her window the |
carriages which convey Arthur and his |
bride to church, and becomes insane. Pier
rot who has been her staunch and faithful |
friend, tries TO save her from fresh |
plot Of the Commander, but only succeeds |
in getting her away from Paris by playing
with his organ, the air which her mother
sang at parting. and which she calls her
+" mothers voice" This music she follows
day after day, until she reaches home and |
recovers her reason in the happy denouement.
The interest in the story is sustained to the
end and all the leading parts give oppOr-
tunity for good acting. We hope the public |
will give the club good house.

ANCIENT FINE ARTs.-To the Editor of the
Ne,o York Herald: Respecting the relics Of
proclaim ware found in the late exhuma-
tions at Herculaneum which have been for
warded to the Society of Antiquities in Lon
don, whereof your correspondent says the
bottle resembling brakes Plantation Bitters
syundoubtedly placed among the ruins by
the agent of DR.. Drake, we desire to state he
is in incorrect in every respect. If bottle
was found there bearing our lettering, the
language Of the Ancient Romans was differ
.ent frum the accepted literature of that day.
Our agent has other business than this in
Europe, and has not been in Italy at all,
No doubt Americans carry Plantation Bit
tiers TO Rome; but trying to impose upon a
society of Antiquarians in this way, seems
quite useless, and we do not appreciate the
joke. 1t is unnecessary for US to spend
money in Europe while we are unable to
supply the demand for these celebrated Bit
ters here. Respectfully, P. II. Drake l. Co.

The Philadelphia National Refresbment
Saloons, where the soldiers from every part
of the Union were fed during the late war
were an honor to Philadelphia, and there is
peculiar propriety in the circumstance that
Philadelphia should inaugurate plan for
the endowment of a National Institute,
where the orphans of these same heroes may
have a home and receive an education. This
is what the Trustees of the Riverside Insti-

plish. Acting under the Charter of the
Washington Library Company incorporated
by the State of Pennsylvania, they are Of

Verdict of the Coroner's Jury in the

We publish below the verdict of the, Cor

last week: UEiWac bG Vdd.

ty of Sandusky, by F. Wilmer, Justice of
the Peace in and for said township and

manner and by whom William Carver,
whose body was found in the Sandusky riv-
er on the 18th day of December, A. D. 1867,
came 10 his death. 81, -.
After having heard the evidence ahH 'ex-
amined the body, We do find that the deceas-
ed came TO his death because of asphyxia
produced by submersiOn, WHICH was caused
by the Locomotive Of a local freight train
being thrown from tile track ON the railTdad
bridge crossing the Sandusky river at Fie-
mont, Ohio on the morning of December
l2ih, 1867.
We further find that the unprecedented
severity of the storm on that day raised the
roofing on tie north side of the track and de-
posted the same directly upon the track and
rails thereof, that the tin covering of said
roof held the same firmly upon said track,
which was clearly the cause Of said accident;
and We further find that since the said ac-
cident occurred, it is easy rtovsee how said
roofing might have been more Thoroughly
secured, but are not prepared TO say that had
we been called upon to inspect said bridge
before the accident we should not have do.
