When on sn official_visit to the United States fn 1853 I spent a day | oF two at Mr. Stuart Browne's place on the Now Jersey shore of the Hud- s0n river, above Hoboken. General Taylor, of Ohlo, was anothor guest, and as the house was at no great dis- tance from tho vpst where the fatal ducl between Burr and Hamilton took place (July 12, 1804), a conver- sation arose on the event, ani tbe charrcteriatics, public and private, of the two men. Gen. Taylor told ua that when a very yoang man studying | st Weat Point, he was ove day on bosid a river boat, and smong the passengors wers Mes. Hamilton, widow of Alexander Hamilton, and Aaron Burr, who had returned o the states sfter his oufurced absence in Earope in conseqaence of his proved | treazonable practices. Burr was then | an old man, but still retained much of his formor confidence ad manner, eapecially with ladies. To the sston: ishment of thoso who knew hlm, on discovering that Mra.- Hamilton was on board the stesmboat,he approached | her, took off his hat, snd, bowing, rald, “Mra. Hawiltor, T believe. My namo fs Borr.” Tho effect on the lady, now well stricken in yoars, was elec: tric. Rising from her seat, sha gath- ered up her dress, as if tofonch Burr would be_contamiuation, drew herself up, and, looking at him from head to foot, swept away with a dignity snd grace worthy of her best days, and Teft him stauliog abashed, if ho were capablo of feeling so, before the spec- tators. Barr roplaced his hat upon his head, and slowly moved back to the seat ho had left purposely to make this experiment upon the feclings of the widow of tho man he had slain, for ono cannot believe that ho had any Intention to apologlsa or explain, since this was tmpossible, | St. Louts Live Stock Market.
