Just came occasionally, and were not
actually Salmagundi members. One
of their diversions, it is said, con-
sisted of lying in bed and shooting
cherries from the tree of which Irving
so often speaks.
Never was the winter garment Of

shoulders. All was indeed fair
weather when those good fellows were
together Irving's nephew and biog-
rapher, Pierre M. Irving, said that at
the age of 81 Irving said feelingly to
Kemble, referring to past good times,
that we should have lived to be two
such respectable old gentlemen
Let's read the Salmagundi papers
again, you and I, and chuckle over
old Pindar and Aunt Charity and the
others. Folks say that old Pindar is
really Isaac Governeur himself, and
that the old cherry trunk, etc, were
part and parcel of Mount Pleasant"
the real name of the old place, but
which was not long in effacing itself
when people began to know of Cock
loft Hall"
The Ending Of the Tale
In a letter written In February,
1858, to the Historical Society, OF
which he had been made an honorary
member, Irving said with Newark
ARE associated In my mind many
pleasant recollections of early days
and of social meetings at an old
mansion on the banks of the Passaic."
Despite all efforts to preserve 1t
the old cherry tree went to pieces
in 1873, but Whiting preserved and
labeled a section of the trunk. and
when the old banisters were removed
he saved one of the rails made so
shiny by the sides of the merrymak-
ers.
1t is said-and need l say it-that
George Washington stopped at Cock
loft Hall frequently when in Its
vicinity during the war. Very likely
it is one of the eight million, six
thousand and forty-eight places
where he slept during that stormy
time
And now the old place is to be sold.
Another landmark will soon have
faded into obscurIty, but long, long
hence will those who read with inner
eyes as well as outer be able to
visualize old Cockloft Hall and the
summer house, the sloping lawn and
the river and the merry souls who
made it all to live forever.

broad stairs with shiny bansters, down which
Irving, Henry Brevoort James K Paulding
and others of the famous Salmagundi set used
regularly to slide, finding the ordinary method
too commonplace way to work off even a
small portion of their youthful exuberance.
What rollickng times they all had in the
big hall and on the lawn that sloped right
down to the river in those days, with the
broad, untrammeled fields of Bergen county
making pleasant prospect just across. Men
they were through the week, but at its end
they were boys, gathering in Cockloft Hall
with their pipes and bowls, perpetrating alb

No one knows exactly how old the
place is. In 1876 the main part of
the building was 150 years old, though
even at that time 1t was pieced and
modernized until Irving himself
would not have recognized it. And
today only the four walls of the
original house remain, and even they
are embedded in modern frame,
though strong enough probably to
outlive their covering, for they are
almost two feet thick, of wood, filled
in with bricks.
w. w. Mills. in his Historical
Houses OF New Jersey" declares that
the house was erected in the year
before 1850 by Nicholas Governeur,
who was a grandson of the Abraham
Governeur who married the daugh-
ter of Governor Jacob Leslie, of
New York. The place descended to
Governeur Kemble. who will always
be known as the genial host to the
Salmagundi set. 1t was next owned
by Joseph Duryea, then by John p.
Wakeman, and came into the possess
sion of Winslow L. Whiting about
1853. Since that time 1t has been III

the will of the late Miss May Ripley
Whiting that the place was ordered

Here Irving Mused Away.
It is in Governeur Kemble and his
guests that we are most interested.
He was a bachelor, with the broad
est kind of ideas of hospitality. 1t
is said that a feature of the furnish
ings of every room was a capacious
punch bowl, never quite empty. Par
ticularly beloved of Irving was the
old summer house, gone this many a
day. octagonal in shape and having
three windows all facing the house

might have all views upon his own
land, and be beholden to no man for
a prospect.
There was a fish-pond beside it,
which the owner had had made by
blowing up a bed of rocks. Irving
poked much fun at him because of
this, declaring that although the
river ran but a hundred yards away,
and was we'll stocked with fish, there
was nothing like having things to

FOR PATRONS OF LIBRARY.
Few W*RDs OF EXPLANATION BY THE
COMMITTEE.

The committee in charge Of the Learn
ers Circulating Library wish to explain
q few things for the benefit Of the pat
rons of the library, 50 that there may be
cordial and thorough understanding
regarding library matters
First and foremost, the committee
wishes to express its disappointment it
met sometimes in receipt of books order
ed. The committee dsircs greatly to Sc
cure every book asked for by members
but for some reason there are occasion
al delays in filling orders, for which the
committee is in no ways responsible, and
which appear to be unavoidable
The attention Of members is called
especially to the rules placed in the
front of each library book. Some mis-
takes may have been made, on account
of failure of members to acquaint them
selves thoroughly with the rules.
Dues collected are used TO meet cur
rent expenses of the library-not, how
ever, including the services of the lib
rarian, as members of the Learners
club serve free as librarian. each taking
her turn willingly. Fines collected also
are used for this pupose.
After Jan.1, the library administra-
ton will adhere strictly to the rule of
allowing no book to be taken out by anv
members who are in arrears for dues
or fines. A minimum fine of 10 cents is
assessed when books are overdue. from
one day of opening to the next. not in
Gliding Sunday and regular opening days
Members of the library owe monthly
dues, whether books are taken out or not
While the libarary so far has made
only modest beginning, yet the mem
bers earnestly hope that all who are
interested in such work may cooperate
in the work Of building up a library of
which Brownsville may be proud.

lips of shallow and insincere politicians
that it has become almost a meaning
less commonplace
Imagine what those words meant to
Abraham Lincoln, and what they should
and would mean to you if you heard
them for the first time, uttered with all
the feryor of conviction and inspiration
by the man who not only gave freedom
10 the slaves, but restored popular lib
erty and civic conscience to the nation,
and established the eternal right of the
majority to rule-by the man who not
only retained our territory undivided,
but preserved the principles and pur-
poses of our republic indebted.
1t is impossible to conceive Abraham
Lincoln referring to majority rule as
mob rule ana the difference between
the Republican party of Lincoln's day
and the Republican party Of today is
exactly as great as the difference be-
tween the ideas and utterances Of Lin
coin and the ideas and utterances OF
the Republican leaders of today.
There will never be any popular legs
| in the Republican pair of political
pants until there is a change in the
pattern Of the pants, until there is a
change in the character of Republican
principles, until there are Republican
leaders who do not believe that a gov
eminent of the people by the people
and for the people is mob rule"
The Republican party and the nation
need leaders who, like Lincoln, have
confidence in the capacity of the peo-
pie to regulate all functions of gov
eminent, TO control all public officials
and to direct the destinies of this great
nation for the best interests of all.
When the Republican party can fur
nish such leaders, it may hope to re-
gain its place in the public confidence
and esteem.
