The following sbesch OF Andres last
public dinner IN New York, contained
in an account of I'd kip's Bay House,
|Nill interest many Of our readers. 1t
S from the pen OF the late Henry A.
and was published about
twenty years ago, since which the cd
|house has been demolished:
The main structure (of kip's house,
twas built Of brick brought from Hol-
Hand in 1914, by the ancestors Of the
ancient and highly respected family Of
|kips; consequently some portions Of
|the mansion are now two hundred and
three years old. Between 1869 and 100
lit underwent some alterations, but it is
|still mostly in its original shape. 1t
stands at Kip's bay, on the East river,
between two and three miles frem the
|Cty Hall. 1t will be taken down in
the course off, year or two, and with it
will vanish from existence about the
last of the old Knickerbocker residences.
Although the family of Hips do not
live in their old mansion, it is still their
property, and is occupied by one or two
families.
At the point of rocks few hundred
yards from the house the British troops
under Sir William Howe landed on
Sunday, the 18th of September, l773,
protected by the cannon of two or three
ships of war anchored in the East river,
and a skilnis!l took place with the
Americans in the rear OF the house.
rhesam day General Washington evac-
uated the city, and encamped with his
army on Harlem Heights at Fort Wash
ington, Over seven years elapsed before
ne re-entered it.
During the Revolution the house was
occupied by different British officers of
distinction, and beneath its rafters Sir
Henry Clinton, Lord Percy, Knyphau-
sen, the traitor Arnold and others have
dlned and swallowed their wines, while
the song, the jest and the story passed
freely around. It may be as we'll to
say that the Kips were staunch wings
IN these days, and were forced to leave
their home during the War of indie
pendence. In the latter part of Sep
'ember, 1850, the Old Kip House was
occupied as tho quarters of Colonel Will
!Ilaams, of the Goth or Royal Americans.
The regiment still bears this title, al
though it is doubtful now if there were
any Americans in it. 1t was raised du-
ring the old French war, in the colony
OF New York, about the year 1855, and
was then commanded by that iamented
Young nobieman Lord Howe, who fell

'uscade near Ticonderoga, in 1856.
Il WAS the hour OF dinner The band
nd ceased playing the 'Roast Beef Of
~ England and the wine was circu-
ting freely around the mess table of
ne officers and their invited guests
or they had that day given dinner to
slr Henry Clinton and his staff. The
Usual toasts were drunk. "Thc King

A SINGULAR INDIAN TRADITION.-
Among the Seminole Indian there is
singular tradition regarding the white
mans origin and superiority They say
that when the Great Spirit made the
earth, he also made three men, all Of
whom were fair cOmpleXioned; and
that, after making them, he led them
to the margin of n small lake, and babe
them leap in and wash. One obeyed.
and came out of the water purer and.
fairer than before: the second heSitated
Il moment, durin" which the water. ag
itated by the first. became muddlcd,
and when he bathed he came copper
colored; the third did not leap till the
water became black with mud. and he
came out with its.OWn color. The Great
Spirit laid before them three packages,
and out Of pity for his misfortune in
color, gave the black man the first
choice. He took holt of each Of the
packages, and having felt the weight.
chose the heaviest; the unprecedented
chose the next heaviest, leaving the
white man the lightest. When the
packages We're opened, the first was
found to contain spades, hoes, and all
the implements Of labor; the second en-
wrapped hunting. fishing, and warlike
apparatus; the third gave the white
man pen, ink and paper, the engines of
the mind-the means of mutual, men
tai improvement, the social link of hui
manity, the foundation Of the white
mans superiority.
