Mrs. Philip Charch, a Relict of the Reve- lution. ‘We published short time since, on the occasion of the death of Mrs. Rebecea Doyley Pinckney, some memories of the famous South Carolina family of that name, The recent death of the widow of Hon. Philip Church affords ‘an opportunity to recall similar recollections of the dis- tinguished New York families of Hamilton, Stewart and Church. Mrs, Church was the daughter of Genoral Walter Stewart, distinguished as an intimate personal friend of ‘Washington and one of the Revolutionary heroes, Ho came to this country from Ireland, aud at an carly period entered the Revolutionary army, in which, on several struck for General Wayne, Lieutenant Colonel Fleury and Major Walter Stewart, for their gallant conduct in the storming of Stony Point.” Asa colonel, Stewart isa prominent figure in Trumbull’s picture of the “Surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown.”’ He was one of the hand- somest as well as most gallant men known to the “Re- publican Court” of Washington’s time; and his personal appearance was as much commented upon as was the extraordinary beauty of his wife. Robert Morris once wrote of Stewart that “his private character is ag amiable as his public one has been glorious.” Mrs. General Stewart—the mother of the late Mrs, Church—was a regular Irish beauty, and as brilliant ini conversation and fascinating in manners as she was in personal attractions. She was at ono period the beauty of the “Ropublican Court,’ She was the eldest daugh- ter of Blair McClenachan, a wealthy Irish merchant, who lived in the celebrated Chew residence at Germantown, then near, now a partof Philadelphia, MocClenachan was a bitter Jeffersonian democrat, and took every opportunity to display and express his hostility to Washington and dishke for Stewart, who, being in love with his daugh- ter, overlooked the old gentleman’s conduct, and was at last revenged on the violent old democrat by making his daugbter the centre of attraction of the Washingtonian circle at Philadelphia, The two were married on April 11, 1781. Washington was unable to be present, but ho sent from his headquarters, at New Windsor, a graceful letter of congratulation on the occasion, and the next year became godfather to their first child. There is a let- ter extant which shows the intimacy existing between ‘Washington and Ste and at the same time the hero in one of his playful moins, ‘This letter, written on tho ove or srowitel’s tailing for Europe, con- cludes thus:—"Sirs, Washington joins me in wishing yout a yood's ‘und rosperous voyage, and in cotnpliménts f° Mrs, Stewart, Prrell 1 her if atom ‘t think of me often shall not easily forgive her, and bi scold at apd beat her—soundly, too—at Piguet, the noxt timo I see her.”? About the time of his retirement from public life Washin sont portraits of himself—of a size somewhat larger common miniatures—to threo of the ladies — whom his intercourse in: Philadelphia had been most unreserved and affectionate. In @ note accompanying the one sent to Mra Stewart he begs her regard it ‘not so much for any merit or the original as Tor its excellence as a work of art.” Stewart and his wife appearto have lived at Philadelphia in a style of liberality and elegance suita- ble to their large a. and cultivated tastes. Their house, during n’s administration, was much frequented by pire portion of official and private society which was most distinguished for its attachment to his person and policy a Mrs. Church, daughter of this disti ed pair, married into a family not less plier toaig aa Philip Chureh’s mother was the daughter of Gen.

The difficulties that stood in the way of such an terprise may be illustrated in « singular anecdote, 6 potice of the death of Mr. Church a few years ago called forth so card to this paper from a wagon maker recollected arranging straps by which to hang Mering, buck beneath Mr. Church's bg and the father of future sheep was carried, thus pend, from albany to Allegany.

While still a law student in 1801 Philip Chureh acted as second to Philip Hamilton in the dael with Eckhard, in which young Hamilton fell, fatally wounded, on the same ground where his father afterwards met bis melancholy fate, Anothor rather apochryphal story states that two years before this duel Philip Church's father had fought A “Guel wah Aaron Burr on the same a. ry this story itoopers oegeaimin it “ey with all details, and is at worth giving.

Barr, and he demanded an apology. Mr. Church declined any further than to say that he was indiscreet in repeating the accusation without further authority, This was not accepted. A challenge Was sen'; they met and exchanged shots without effect. The from Mr. Chureh’s pistol struck a button from Colonel Burr's coat ‘and parsed throogh bis vest. Colonel Burr then received the explanation *hich Mr Church bad previously made, remarking that an explanation might be reccived as ant fang after shots bad been exchanged that would not have been admissible before.

Mr. Poznanski displayed con- siderable technique and power of execution, but lacks tone and expression. The minor themes of the great violinist Vieuxtemps abound in fantastic imagery, a great deal of which are mere intricacies, without any reference to compatibility with the subject, Mr. Posnanski, however, displayed considerable origi- nality in the treatment of his themes, which, with more practice, may plact him in a prominent position among violinists. One of Mendelssohn's best, because most diversified, concertos was Mr. Joseph Poznanski’s most noticeable piece on the piano, ‘The second part, andante religioso, reminded usof Elijah on Mount Horeb. The choral harmony is subdued and most delicately colored by the occasional “escapades” of the pianist’s fingers throughout, The presto movement is not inferior to the scherso of the Midsummer's Night Dream, or any of the other filmy {imaginings of that great soul.
