Sawyer, wifo of Prof. A. J, Bawyer, formerly of the Chicazo Unt- versity, andaunlece, Mrs, AnnaB. deddings. Mra. Sawyer was next in ago to Ellhu, and Mrs, Geddings was o daughter of Elihu’s brother, Elijab, distinguished as an astronomer, or, more cspecially, ns the author of Burritt's Geography of he Heavens, which was uscd for more than thirty yoars as a toxt-book in most of the femnto seminaries o the country. A repre- sentative of this paper called upon Prof. and Mrs, SBawyer and Mra. Geddings at their home, No. 408 Vernon avenue, last cvening, and obtained from them much that s not contained n the above blography, 1n the natitro of incidents in Mr. Burritts lite, catimates of his charnctor and {alents, all of which would naturally be remembaered by and come from those who knew him best and who wero most decply attached to him. Mrs. Sawyer, In rcfercing to hor brothor's carlyycars and - the evidences of youthful precocity which marked that period of lls 1ife, spoke of his 'mstonishing fonts in mental arlthmetle, for which he first ovinced a ltklog similar (o its Intensity to that afterwards be- stowed upon lingulsticipuraults, Often and often would ho figure up in his head how many sces onds old ho was, and, with youthful pridy, tn- form his oldars of the result. He {vould also caleulate mentally how many yards of cloth it would take to rcach from the earth to the sun, the numbor of barleycorns it would re- quire to reach sround the world, and other vurl- wus and, for bis age, rather puzzling problems. When, later on, he worked at tho smoking forge, hio made a systematic dl- vislon of the dav, und adhered to ft for years. Elght hours wero devotod to study, cight to alcep, nnd eight to work, and even then it was his wont to have an otd Greck grommar near him during his labors i the shop nnd to conjugnto those fearful and won- derful Greek yerbs which have proved the bane of manya collego. boy. Whila the fron was reddening in the coals, he would refer to tho smoke-bezrlmed old text-book, and, Dotsween the sturdy strokes of the hammor on theironas §t lay on the auvll, ho wonid go through_with hfs conjugation of tho stubborn word,” The Incident related of him Io thic ahove blography of nls lotter to the Roval Antiquari- an Socloty In the Celto-Breton languoge was characteristic. Previously lenorant of that strange tongue, he concluded that it would Lo o flne thinz to wrlte such a communication, nud with binx to will was to do, and it was only a question of timo—brief at that—for him “to acquire the Inugunze and {ndite the colebrated letter.

It ‘was Dis 1mim, a8 Mre, Bawyer and Mrs, Geddings state, to regularly tako what he called o Sabbath-day's journey, viz.+ selecting a chapter In the Bible and read- ing 1t in twenty diforent languagcs, or, ns ha cxpressed it, traveling from Iceland to Ilin- dostan, n later years, whon his fame was spread abroad, it was the foahion with a certain class of eaptious critics to say that, learned os he was, lio could not converse In the tongues which he vrofessod to have at his command, Tt was o sufliclent answer to this wondrous dlacovery to say that he never professed to converso in thess dliferent languagzes, but slmply to be able—ns lie wns—to read and translate them. Speaking further of I8 LINGUISTIC TALENTS, his sistor recalled an incident which is of consid- crable interest in this counection. Boine years azona will was sent to this country from the West Indies written in Danish. 'T'he manu. script was onc of the most diflicult to dectpher thut could well be imagined, nnd it went thu rounds of soveral of the lcading collezes with- out meoting with anybody who could * solveths rlddle nud give the 1nterpretation theroof,” Finally it was referred to Mr, Burritt, 1o wus then working at the forge, but, with his usual determination, made up lijs mind that he would master [t. - Ilo wns then acquainted with the Dianlsh tongue, but that was only haif the task. ‘I'he badly-written manuscript must bo deciphor- ed, 1o iworked at It two weeks, employlug his sparo ilme, und success crowned nis offorts fo n deld whore all "before him had falled, When ho sent the: will back, translated with absoluto correctness, hio sald he would ouly chargo the gentiemen slio had os- signcd hlm’the task of interproting it just what he would have carned at the forge in”the time beatowed upon the translation, s llngutstic accomplisbiments, brlefly stated made bim master of fifty-two lavguages and dinlects, Prof. Bawyer, fn referring to his workasa publle orator and writer, sald Le was the first to ogltate tho question of cheap postage, ar, a3 he tormed It, ocan penny post- ugo, nnd, although Iis lopes wore not fully reallzed, vt the results have boen of fncalcula- Dblo benefft.” When o first began calling atten- tlon to the subject, Gen. Bam llpuston, the famous Texns ploneor, was Chajrman of the Post-Ofice Committes 1n Congress, and such waa the foreo of AMr. Burritt's arguments that Gen. Houston would frequently turn to him, after one of those lung and eloguent word posges, and say, “Wall, Mr, Turritt, 1"l get you now to preparca bill," But the agitator did " not restriet himsoll to arpu- ments with Cangressional Committees, Ilo lectured on the subject in varlous partas of the country, clireuluted petitions for a reduction of the rates of postage, nnd obtained the signaturcs of bankers, commercial, literary, and laborlng men, after which he used them in his labors with the authorities ot Washington, Ilis attituda on the sluvery question was also a communding one. Prof, Sawyer, advertlng to this subject, said ho woa the first man in the conntry to pm‘pmu and lecturoupon the subject ot coniponsation for the emnancipation of the slaves, sdvocating tho idea that the United Btates ahould pay the slave-owners for emancis pated slavea outof the procecds of publie lnnda approvriated for that purpose,—the same plan ofterwards proposed by President Lincoln and ndfgnantly rejected by the Rebels. ‘I'he rojece tion was followed by the famous proclamation of emancipation, but ‘Without any compensating clause, Mr. Burritt really ‘antlcipated Mr, Boward 1in scolng that “the frrepressible con- flict " must come If the question of slavery was not gotten out of the way, und his theory was thatlt were vastly better bo pay. for tho slaves thun to embraoll the land in the horrors of elvil war, \Vhile lecturing on this subject Mr, Bur- ritt yisited Chicazu—in 1855 or 1 and spoke to on immenso audience in ‘Motropolitan Ilall, then at the northwest corner of Kandolph and LnSaolle streots. Mra, 8awyer narrated with ovident approcia. tion of her brother'sdeep feolings of synwathy for the unfortunate, his succcssful effoifs at alleviating the BUTFHIINGS OF TIlXf PEOPLE OF IRBLAND during the famiuo of 1840, when, through his influenco aud with the ald of such personal means a8 he could wnmhuu’ large numbers of them wore fed and clothed, The sister also told how ho waa utoreated In eecurlug o subscription to tho works ot Dr, Dicl, o Bcotch divine, the rosult of which was ta place thegood Doctor be- yondthercach of want.

TROY. BAWYER, while not In the least wishing to detract from Mr. Barritt!s greatness ns a scholnr, thinks that “the learncd blacksmith,” ofter oll, was more distinguished for hls goodness than his groatness, His heart went out to ail mankind, und his greateat pleasure was in alleviating suf- fering aud in taking away the sjiog of poverty, While in England, and advocating the peaco cause, he pablished o little paper ealled the Oifve-Branch, and the Quakers, it 1s sald not. “li Toved him, but almoit adored him. t 18 common, In nccounting for a man's pgreatness, to ingulre, *1Who wero his parental” but In this fnstance there scema to have been lees of Inheritance and more of improvement of the original talent, Elihn Burritt, 8r.. nud Elizabeth Hinsdale, wero ordinary, Christian comnou-folks, the impress of whose teachings was obscrvable in thoss sterling qualitics which mako up the worth of honest manhood. Prof. Crawford, who knew hhn well, and who I8 a Keen noalyzer of character, attributes Mr. DBurritt's “success tnore to his npplieation aud diligence than to any innate talent which he possessed. In speaking of his condition in lfe a8 regavds this world's qu' Prof. Sawver remarked lost cvening that Mr. Burritt wos nlways poor until he was appointed Consul _to Birminghat, During the elght years of his Consulate he man- aged to Jay up enough to make him comfortable, but not rich, for the remainder of his days, tis unsclilshness wos one of the promincnt traits of his character, Nearly always, tostified Prof. 8awyer, ho rofused to Teceive renjunera- tion for gervices rendered to the vublie when such ramuineration would have been not onl ’mmur but steictly just, Most of his eotures were free to all, and what he had to say for the benefit of mankind was literally to bo had “without money and without price.” Prof, Bawyer, n warm but just eulugist, says that Mr, Burrltt's was ono” of the sweotest charncters lio ever koow. 1118 life was a perfect sunshine, Lverybody wns madp happy who enjoyed his noclety, and genoral benevolence and “thorough zood-heartedness characterlzed his feclings towards all manking, whom le truly looked upon as brothers, BIOGRATHICAX., A dlspatch aunounces the death, night bafora Inst, at New Britaln, Conn., of Elfun Burritt, so well known {n this country and in Europe as *the tearned blacksmith.” Ho was born {n New Britain Dee. 8, 1810, and was a descendant of Willlam Burritt, who dled ut 8tratford, Conn., In 1631, illa father, Elihu Burritt, 8r., was n shoemaker, and supported respectably a family of ten children, Elilnt being the youngest of fiva sons, 1lis mother was Elfz- aboth I[linedale, o good, honcst, Christinn woman, whosa plous fustinets were fostilled into the minds of her children. Oceupying this position, Ic” was bis privilege to remnin nt homo with his parents and contribute to the support nnd comfort of thelr old age. At10he hod arrived at the full stature and strongth of & man. Ho then unlted himsall with a Congregational Church in New Britaln, At thistimo his father’s first and Iast illucss commenced. For nearly o vear Ellhu labored through the day in the field or the forest, and watched through half the night at the bedstdo of his father that his mother mightbo enabled to take tho nccessary rest. After his fathers death he appronticed himsolf to a blacksmith of the town. The only school education he had re- celved up to that porlod was threc months av a distrlet sehool during the winter before he was 16 yenre old, But, what was of far greater fmportance. he had a keen appetite for reading, which kept his wind awake, and which was doubtless stimulated by the diflculty, he had In procurlng books. The Intersc passion for read- ing he attributed less to the fnnate foreo of his own mind than to the mere adventitious clr- cnmstanes In his carly youth,—tho hearing of the stories of garrulous old Revolu- tionary roldicrs, who at that time abounded In every part of New Eugland. Making the dls- covery that tales of a slmilar character might bo found in books, e read suck aa fell Into his hands, and this lovo of narrative made the Bivle a fascipating book to him, It was the lirst ona which he read after getting through the spell- inj-boak, and he ueed to steal away with it under his arms wd devour its wonderful histo- ries and personal narratives with o zest which his good mother fondly mistook for religious impressions. When the Bible was cx- hausted, a great vazuum, All the books in the viilage woro contalned in the parish lHbrary, and from this only once In two mouths could a suh- seriber obtain any book, and then only two qunrtos or four duodecimos, After aconfer- ence with hls mother they compromised with regard to a sclection, he belng nallowed to choose ovc-half, avcordlng to his own partieulnr "m:qr for his own particular reading, and she the other. He plcked out books of history, while his mother sclected sermons and - homiles, Two little duodeclmo ~ volumes wero, lowever, scanty faro for his hungry mind, nud splte of the moat rigld fru- gality of reading never Insted him beyond the first month, 8o thint, to uso his own vhirase, for the lnst month he was In o stato Intellectual fomine, Sometimes, but not often, he per- sunded his mother that with so good n minister 08 they hnd oue small volume of sermons might suflica for her splritual necessities, Inthis woy, by the timo he was 16, he was master of the con- wnts of ull the historical works In the collection, and many of _wulch bo hnd read’ two or threo times dver. When he aporenticed himself to o blacksmith he took up his residencoe with his brother Elljah, who had been torced to flea from Georgia on account of a suspiclon thut he had oplniona favorable ta tho total abolitlon of slavery. By Elijuh's advice when his terio of apprenticeshlp lind ox- pirea be latd uside bis hammer and became o atudent. with his brother fur half a year., His alm was to be nble to manage a surysyor's com- pass und perbiaps read Virgil in Latin, After this halt year of study he wos well versed In mathematies, had one _ through _ Vieghl, aud rend several ronch works, Well aatiafied, ho raturned to the farge determinod to make up for loat time, To accomplish this be ungaged himsolf to do TIN WORK OF TWO MIN, thus receiving double ‘wages. Bovere us thia labor was, requiring fourteen hours a day; bo stlll found thne to read a little of Virgilor a few pages of Y¥rench morning or evening, e nt this timo also first beau to look [nto the Bpanlish, which to bis delight he found he could read without much difliculty. His was not a mind to stand still nor” to bLe satisfled with the attalnment of the nearest poal, There was still alwavs a gonl beyoud, and that must also be resched. Thus it was that during that summner he conceived the fdea of making mmscif acquninted with Greel, Ile therefcre procnved a Greek ranimar, a little book which would just Mo {n the crown of hils straw hat, and which he thus carrfed ‘with him to lis work,—the casting of brass cow-holls in n couple of furnaces which ho had to waten with no little attention, Whilesthuding boside theso walting for the fusing of the metal he would take out bis littlo grammar and commit part of o Qreck vorb to memory, Thus ho worked —ou il sutunin with which came seif-dissatisfaction. Seeing tho fotellectual world lylog before hin llke an uodiscavercd land, he agaiu resolved to sacrifice a wholo winter to cxtend that kuowledge, which ‘was av neceseary 1o him, - IHa therefore left tho furnaces and went to Nuw Hayen, uat with the intentlon of entering Yale College, but with a vague eort of notion that tho very atmosphere of “thint seat of loara- ing would facilltate his progress. On arriving intown ho took lodgings at an jnn, and com- maenced & course of study on tho following plan, which is plven i own words! $ As soon as the man who attended to the firea lad made ona fn the cominon sitting-room, which was at about half-past 4 In the morning, | arose und studied German till breakfast, which wan served ot hall-past 7.
