AARON nURR,s REMORsE.

Rev. J. NJ. Macdonald, D. D., in the
NelU York Christian Observer, relates
the following anecdote Of Aaron Burr:
Soon after his return from Europe he
went to visit a family on the North
River, with whom he had been long
intimate. Not Informed of the situa-
ton of the family at that time he en-
tered the parlOr, and the first object
that presented itself was a corpse laid
out in the usual way. He instantly
started back, and, after a moment S
pause exclaimed: Good God. Who is
that?' On being informed it WIS the
grandson Of his friend, he sank down
on a chair, and, covering his face
with his hands, sat some eight
or ten minutes apparently In
the utmost agony. He then
suddenly arose, left the house without
uttering a word, got on board a boat
and returned to New York. In day
or two after he wrote a letter to one of
the family apologizing for his strange
and sudden departure, alleging that
his feelings were so excited that he
could not remain, or at the moment
give any explanation. Then follow
these strong and expressive words;
Ever since that sad event, which sew
cred me from the whole human race, /
have been as incapable of giving as of
receiving consolation. 1 became pal
sled, body and mind, by such scenes. .
Dated March 81, 1918. Thus it ap-
pears that this wretched man was
haunted through life with the appalling
image of the fatal scene. The sight OF
& coffin palsied him in body and mind

FINANCIAL.

Financial affairs remain unchanged.
The demand for discounts from the banks
is rather limited, ami all loans are made at
the regular bank rate Of ten per cent. per
annum. There is very little commercial
paper Offering to the banks, but when
offered the usual rate is two per cent. per
month.
Exchange on New York is scarce and in
demand. The banks buy at par and sell at
81 per thousand premium.
Gold seems to have made 'break" at
last, closing in New York at 1165. Our
dealers offer to buy at ia and to sell at
l165. Silver is taken at 10T for halves and
quarters.
Tennessee bonds appear firm and higher,
sales being reported in New York at IS, and
later in the day at SAT.
There is nothing doing in our local
stocks and bonds. For quotations we refer
TO those given by the Nashville Savings
Company, corner Union and College
streets.

upon my mind like an inspiration: Per-
haps she can take us to camp! We had
dismounted in small ravine and built a
fire. gave the order to mount and told
the boys that / was going to try Betsey
and see if she did not know more than
all of us. We moved out of the ravine,
and after getting we'll out on the prairie
l gave her the rein. AS soon as she real
lied her freedom l found her bearing off
to the left, and in about ten or fifteen
minutes we saw fire which, on nearing
it, proved to be the one we had just left.
She showed no inclination to go into the
ravine but skirted along the edge until
she reached a narrow point. This she
leaped and soon struck into II brisk trOt !;
and in twenty minutes more we were
safe in camp, much TO the joy of all, for it
was feared that we had been pushed.
On several occasions subsequently l
tested Betsey's intelligence and always
with the best Of results. Once, having
returned at evening from long scout, |
found camp had been moved and could
get information only as to the direction
the regiment had taken. After about
three hours brisk ride Betsey brought
me not only to camp but to my own
company, and never stopped till she
stood in front of my tent-Cor. Chicago
