WALLACE, KTe-w There one New Yorker of a former generation who posKOsMd individuality enough to bo flyidly remembered by the prewmt, and that person win Aaron Burr. Other f.iuou. of his woro as clow- 1, iduulined with Iho but thur peronal memory to have umch ftulrf from tb. nlnd 8 of it. Burr how TOT ori-n, and tbcre lire acota of gray- haired in the oily, and aome old ladio.

too who remember him perfectly, and properly approached will entertain one boun liraetoM goaaip and anneodotea conoM.toghiB.. Many of coone aod publiahwl by Burr's biographera, but some hare escaped eir notice; among the latter are aevaral latod by an old gentleman oocnpylng a poaition in New York, and wuo au Intimate friend and connection of Colonel Burr, which refute aome aaaertiona conoeramd him made by luatoriana, and teudluR help tho to a jmter esll. mate of hin character are worthy of publica- ion. I give thorn nearly in the of the narrator, permitting him lo speak here- fteilut aTOiding double murtaof quola- ion I first met Colonol Burr, he began, he an old man, and aa you know under a clonrf not bowed down and deorepid, 1 eipecled lo Bee him, ruddj and fair- faced with the brilliant eye and erect oar- of a man in hta prime. Our leare- ttiang on thw ocoaioon impressed me.

snaat come and BM me often," aaid am an old man; you are young, and my ejpericnce of the world and among men baa been auch that I nmy be of benefit to Tliat Washington duiliked Burr is a matter uf wa. Ham ilton'a influenoe, but. chiefly, I think, to Burr's freely spoken critiownM on his gon- eralkhip. Burr thought Waahlngton a poor general, and, -onceited youngster as he was, waa quite outepoken in hia opinions. He rnnor sought to impress hU peculiar yiewa of Iho man on the yountj, however, as an incident I can relate will ahow.

In our tateroonrae-as cordial and unaffected ae that between lather did eon--he wan apeaking one day of the batfle of Monumoth, whioh he oliaraoterized as a meceaeion of mere sMrmtohes, inagnifled by fulsome his- tonana into a battle, and whton, be said, might have won 101 the patriot arms on occasions had Washingion-aud hen- he checked himself, and alter a moment added: "Let rtop heie. I would on no account destroy the veneration and im that you tare for the character of Washington." Andrew Jackson in hia younger years was an ardent admirer of Burr, and was to neve been the Ittter'a most trusted lieutenant in the proposed Mexican expedition. He also stoutly defended Una at the time of hia trial for treason at Richmond in 1807. Twenty-one years after, in 1828, their positions had changed; Jackaon was the Democratic candidate for President, and Burr living obscurely in New York, poor ind under a cloud they were not then on speaking terum. Burr letters and pa- pan in bis possession thai would nipped Jackson'.

PresMential aspirations in the bud h. lira the fate el more than half the political aspirants of that day ut his disposal, and I ortnn wondered at his forbearance in not lining this power, the more as in many oasos by so doing ho might have cleared himself, But I think fidelity to friends was one of his most striking traits. Burr voted lor JeokHon for President, and hi. tppearing at the polls I remember perfectly. Th.

polling place, were then in Bowling Green, near the Battery, and on this occasion Ihere was gathered there very much such a turbulent crowd now dis. graces our elections. At length Colonel Burr, accompanied by a friend, ono ol tho Swartwouts, I thiuk. up, and it soon whuipered about thai he waa Every one seemed aniious to see him; tho noisy demonstration" tho crowd were huKhed, anil a Inne was lornwl, through which he advanced to deposit his ballot some of Ihe citizens even lifted their hats in spontaneous tribute to the man. There was a presence about Burr rarely met with, which made him a marked man in any com pany, and preserved him from personal in suit.

Indeed, I never knew an instance in which he was insulted personally, though ho was olten and so growly assailed by persons at a distinct. Another thing not generally known, I bellove, is, that Burr once projected a preheiisiva work on the men events o' the revolution hi. more intimate friends, however, knei lo have been one ol the nxut of his later lifo. For it h. had collected many letters and papers of value, which at thu time of bin fiixut to Europe were sent for safe keeping to hix accomplished daughter, Theodosia, in South Carolina.

When she came on lo meet her father in 1812 they accompanied her ou board Ihe ill-fated Patriot and were lost with her in tho shipwruck of that off the Haltems coast. Hence tho project was abandoned, to the incalculable low of American literature, for Burr had it in his power to givo a truthful history of tho great contest, and could have fortified his position with the necessary papers and documents I am certain thit ho would have disproved nwny of the assertions of biased historians unl that a ostimate than is common of some prominent characters might have been gathered from his work, oiipccuilly Jefferson and HamUton. Burr was neve ulmiwlf alter the loss of tho Patriot, wac more affected by it than supposed 1 think he heart-broken. Often ho urged to replj to the caliim circulated concerning him, a uut) owed to himself, to his family and lo lunly at large. "Ah!" he would say, what nso arc words'! All my papers lost in the ctame nhipwrock thai bereft me of my daughter, let them do with the old man as they will." Of Col.

Burr's politenem and courtliness miioli has bonn said, and he jirobibly welled in these qnalitiex all other men of courtesy and grace were innate nuali- tiw with him, and had opportunities for polish denied to most public men. think, however, that it his personal magnetism which gare him his great power with women. In tbie connection let me route an incident which occurred Borne time after his death. I was passing the office of FowK'r, the Phrenologist, in Fulton street, in whose window a planter cast of Burr's head had jiwt besn placed, and noticed two ladies richly dreSBOd, stimdinf before it; one was young, the old. As I passed, ytit jonnglady au-l impatiently: "Orandma, what is tbeto here to interest you BO?" Why." said the othor, "here in a oast of Oolonol Burr." "And what of that?" wat, the reply.

'Ah 1 my dear, "said the old lady, in an indoMribalo tone, "you never kucw Colonel Burr." I met him often in socioty, mntl I sure he waa "the molt lovable man I ever met." gome assertions in on article on the death of Colonel Burr, which appeared in the Sew York during last summer, are preju diced and untrue. This article speaks of terrible outbursts of profanity or. tiis deathbed, and asserts that he died deserted by his fneiiOs and bereft of humun syrapn- thy. Now I happen to know that the re- venwofthiBistrue. Colonel Burr died, as yovi know, at the Continental Hotel, Port Biohmond, Btaten Island.

His disease was a comparatively painless malady. Judge Ogden Edward, aad own cousins ol Colonel Burr, were then living in the old Dongan Manor House ou the Island, (which, by the way, a hirtory), and devoted themselves issiduously to the care of their aged relative, ind his friends in NeTr York were unremitting in their attentions. During these last days Burr lay every day in sort of Btupor until about 11 o'olo in Ihe afternoon; when he would awaken active and vivacious, attend to his busineass affairs, read the newspapwa Md reoeived such visitors as might call. did call, and among them the Kev. Dr.

"anpelt, rf the Dutch Reformed church on ihe Island, who was frequently at bedside. Colonel Burr treated his visitor with the respect and courtesy fluo his calling, and the doetoritos much plensed with him. They conversed Ireoly on religious topics, and Burr expressed his entire belie! in theosaential doctrines ol Christianity. At the end he died as tranquilly as a child sinks into slumber. In conclusion, allow me to notice a very pleasant and mysteriou.

Btory told by Mr. Parton in his "life of Aaron Burr" concern, ing the erooticn of Colonel Burr's tombstone in the 1'rinoeton college churchyard. Mr Parton says that this stone was not erected until time after the Colonel', death and then under the cover of darknew, and no one know, to this day was the land that performed thi. friendly act. But U.

story untrue. The Ma-of the ease are these: When Colonel Bun's came to be there w.w found a targe nomberolbaddebte, and of these, after the estate tad pawxl oat of the bands were paid, and tbe Tame Judge Edward, to -vhat should bo done with the money. ed-them to use it to the purehaw bl. monument to Colonel memory which done, and the stone without liny ol secrecy.
