The Daughter Of Aaron Burr.

In the course of "reminiscences of
Aaron Burr the New York correspondent
of Cincinnati Gazette writes of his daugh-
ter: Theodosia was one of the most charm
ing women this city ever produced.
Strange elements combined in her char
acter. Her mother was English, her
father American, with an ancestry of
wide nationality. Burr is n German
name Edwards was Yankee of the Puri-
tan stamp while the Pierreponts into
whom the senior Edwards married were
French. These elements were wrought
into Theodosia. Her portrait is not un-
like that of Nine. Roland. AS soon as
this devoted daughter heard of his return
she determined to visit him, and also
bring her only child, a bright boy of
twelve, who bore his grandfather's name.
The lad was the idol of his parents, and
was, indeed, remarkable for beauty and
intellect. He died subsequently, and
the blow was crushing-even Burr felt
it. Theodosia had always believed her
father to be the victim of circumstances,
and hence yielded him the sympathy of
a noble and affectionate heart. The re-
ports of his RIGHTEOUSNESS she never be-
lieved. She sailed to meet him, but
soon after the vessel left Charleston n
terrible storm occurred, and here closes
her history. 1t has been said that the
pirate Gibbs, who was hanged here in
1888, confessed numbering Theodosia,
but this is a mere sensation paragraph.
Burr was alive when Gibbs suffered, and
his attention would have been called to
the story. 1t is generally believed that
the vessel went down in the storm. Al
ston died of broken heart, and his let
ters to his wife's father are the last utter
ances of domestic wreck.

A coLoRED philosopher observed on
Sunday, while in conversation with a
friend on Clay street, Il dusnt b'lieve
in having a pardener when you've only
got a small business. If yer make any
thing, why, yer don't git it, an If yer
lose, yer have TO lose it all. Jesse, "
remarked his acquiescent companion.-

day morning, the 23d inst, at 1915 A. NJ, /
was returning home, in company with
friend, when at the corner of Girod and
Tchoupitoulas streets, l stopped to speak
with a gentleman. In the meantime my
friend went on to the door of the house, and
finding the door closed he sat on the bench,
where he almost Immediately went to sleep.
About this time looked in the direction OF
where l expected to see my lnend, wnen' 70
my surprise, saw man approach the bench
and lean over and tussle as if there were more

Behind the Time,


MURAT HALSTEAD s opinions which we
published on Saturday, are generally
conceived in modern spirit. He has
a genius for news, and seldom falls into
the vein of antiquated and untimely no.
tons but in his fling at Senator Ea-
toms State fagin the several sovereign
States each acting for itself in its own ca
pacity," we think he committee this
fault.
Under what may be called the old
regime in this country the doctrine of
State rights was used to protect slavery,
and as that was an odious thing, the pro
tecting doctrine became odlous also.
The rebellion was the grand elimination
of that sort of State rights and of slavery
together, and thus a new and black
er odium was added to both. Besides,
during the war it was necessary in every
way to strengthen the Federal Govern
ment by which the war was carried on;
and through all these cases the philoso-
ply of the State rights was for the time
being cast out into utter darkness, and
the theory of Capitalization and of ma
tional Government of overshadowing pow
er took it place.
Nevertheless, the truth of State rights lies
at the foundation of the American system
of government and without it the United
States could not long be the free repub-
lie which the fathers meant to establish,
and which the sons love so well. Instead
of being the defence of slsverly as OF old,
State rights becomes the indispensable
shield and bulwark offreedom; and accor-
dinghy this condemned and rejected doc
trine is now destined to a deep and a
permanent revival. The reaction in its
favor is already strong, and is sure to be-
come stronger; and no intelligent, candid
man can peruse the speech of Senator
Eaton without perceiYing that it contains
political wisdom of vital nature, ex-
pressed with discretion and patriotism,
and with the true spirit of liberty.
We are confident that before long Mr..
Halstead will see good reason to change
his views on his subject.

The Old Prophecy Likely 10

A man in Allentown, Pa, possesses a
copy of the One hundred year Almanac,
published in 1900, which selects some
fourteen years from the whole number
occurring between 1900 and 1900 as years
to be marked by unusually stormy wealth
er. The gentleman has observed with
curious interest the fulflment of the pre-
dictions, which he says has been singu-
larry complete, the storms always falling
not more than day apart from the date
indicated. The calculation sets down a
period of severe cold in the latter part
of May, 1875, this being one of the four
teen years, when it is predicted, we shall
have frost in this latitude, and grape
vines will freeze and be destroyed unless
protected. 1t is hoped the prediction
may not be verified.

through the entire country will meet in
convention this year at Richmond, Va,
on May &c. 1t is believed that the meet
ing will tend to harmonic sectional
prejudices. and it is looked forward to
with much interest. The committee of
the Richmond association say, in their
circular:
''As the last convention which was held
in Southern State was on the eve Of a
great fratricidal war between the North
and the South, so this convention in the
capital of the Old Dominion, on the eve
of the centennial celebration of our coun-
try's independence, may, we trust, be the
harbinger of peaceful reunion of every
section in the enduring bonds of Chris
tan fellowship and love"
