The early Dutch were rather remarkable for the numerical value of their offsprin; Everywhere these littio wooden shod urching perched; they hung about the wagons of the passers by, in as many fantastic and almost in l.u,«mh- attitudes as those assumed by so Foerrato's baby angels, A travoler, assing one day through the streets of Kinderhook, was so annoyed by these little human pests that he s said to havo oxelaimed, angrily: *‘Well, this must ho ‘cin kinder hook’ ™ (a place for the child ren), and this name, Kinderhook, the village has retained up to the present time The home of Martin Van Buren, *Lin denwald,” is a quaint, old fashioned building, of the antique Dutoh tyne, low and roomy. It stands fust on the out skirts of the town, and is an object of much interest to _tourists. A handson monument, plain, but substantial, is erected oyer the president's grave in the village cemetery. It bears the simple inseription: MARTIN VAN BUREN, VII PRESIDENT OF THE NITED STATES, Born, Dec. 5, 1782, Died, July 21, 1862, The life of Mr. Van Buren is too well and currently known to awaken any terest by a recital. Many of his pe sonal traits were peculiar in the e treme. o w Iu-Iuw the average stature and has been criticized as haying been rather overbearing to his inferior: Ris hanghtiness and diminutive build r sembled_the historical description ot Louis X1V, but unlike that monarch, ho wore no six-inch heels to increase his height. Mr. Van B.’s complexion was rather of the sandy cnst, his oye quick and piercing—his whole appearance ani- mated in the extreme. He was a sincero hater and an_ ardent friend. Seldom blinded by political prejudices, he had many associates, some of whom' are still living in the vicinity, and speak in cordial terms of their honored and de- parted asso There is one thing, which, however, cannot fail to impre: the spectator with surprise and indig tion; that is, the munner which the grave of the departed pre. lected. The spot is literally overrun with recds and noxious plants.” That fact P ing as it does, in the very heart of a civilized community, is a sad reflection upon the nature of an Ame n people, It is shamefu! that when our leaders fall their memory should be so eruelly neglected by an unsympathetic world. Many humorous storics illustrative of Mr. Van Buren's characteristics are told in this section. One of them 1 recall, During his presidency an old friend from Kinderhook is said to have called at the white house, for the vurpose of having o friendly chat with the hij honored friend of his youth. The ser who answered the summons refused to admit him, saying Mr. Van Buren was not in. The caller had seen the presidont enter the mansion but a few minutes be- fore, so told the scrvant to return and tell Mr. Van Buren that an old friend wished to sec him and gave his name, The gervant did as requestea and again came back, saying the president was not in. At this the irate visitor exclaimed angrily: “‘Yes, he is, for I saw him enter a féw miriutes ago,” but the servant was equal to the emcrgency, and stampin, his foot in a passion, cried out: *'I !efi you Mr. Van Buren is not in, for he just told. me so himsclf.” Like all politicians of prominence Mr, Van Buren was the vietim of many de| rogatory ~ witicisms and partisan abuse, ~ but he was & gonial and Kindly friend and neighbor. krom Henry Cliy be won the enconium of being “‘civi], courteous and gentlemanly” and of “dispensing in his elegant Kindor- hook mansion a generous und liberal hospitality AN EW OF SARATOGA., The watering place season is now drawing to a close and the “day” is over at for the ar.
