POET’S CORNER.
DUST.
BY MR#. ELLEN M. MITCHELL.
Whence come they, rising, felling every
where,
These tiny atoms sailing through the air?
Far out at, sea, no glimpse of land in sight.
They dance adowu the bars of glad sun
light ;
Nor is there in the world a single place
Where one their subtle presence may not
trace"
What though we brush them patiently
away ?
We cannot stop the progress of decay.
Still others come to fill the vacant space;
All marks of dust no mortal can efface.
We wonder not that, cloud-like, it appears
’Mid attic rubbish left untouched for years
But on the book, a moment since laid down,
W T e mark it settling with impatient frown.
Whence comes it, that in clean-swept, dar
kened rooms,
In iron safes, close-locked, as well as tombs,
It gathers still ? Is’t thus things pass away,
Their atoms falling round us day by day?
Is’t thus God meant the human race to
learn.
“Dust art thou, unto dust shalt thou re
turn.” [Ex.

A MAN WHO REMEMBERS THE DUKE
OF WELLINGTON.
THE STATESMAN-SOLI)IEIt’s EI.DEST SOYS RE
COLLECTIONS OF HIS FATHER’S LIFE —A
SUGGESTION FOR MR. A. T. STEW
ART TO CONSIDER OVER.
[From the New York Sun.]
A remarkable old gentleman sat in
an easy chair before a warm fire, in tbc
front parlor of 87 Clinton place yester
day afternoon. From the top of his
high, full forehead, curled soft white
hair to the edge of his snowy beard,
and his skin was smooth. His sn ail
hands, however, were wrinkled, and
tbc veins distended their covering.
His broadcloth suit, satin neck tie, and
kid slippers were black, and accurately
fashioned. He directed his brilliant
eyes toward a Sun reporter, and smil
ing dreamily. asked him to be seated.
“ Are you not Alexander Hamilton’s
eldest son, sir ?” asked the reporter.
*■ Yes, I am Col. Alexander Hamil
ton, Jr., the eldest son of Alexander
Hamilton,” said the old gentleman,
looking into the tire, and folding his
arms in his lap, as though preparing for
a long, cosey chat, “and I am about
ninety years of age. I am the eldest
of eight children, two daughters and
six sons All of these except the
former and the youngest of the latter
are still alive. My brother Philip, two
years my junior, was billed in 18U2 in
a duel by a Mr. Acker. A political
difference was the cause of the fatal
meeting. Cooper, the tragedian, pre
pared and seconded Acker, and a young
friend performed the same services for
my brother. Shortly after the duel
Acker died, as every one said, of a
b:oken heart. By the way, please
write a note to A. T. Stewart, and tell
him that his picture of Alexander
Hamilton and his wife is a perfect cari
cature. My father was born on the
island of Nevis, in the West Indies, of
a Scotch father and a Fren h mother.
From the latter he inherited the finan
cial talent that he afterward displayed
in the office of Secretary of the Trea
sury. At a very early age he left his
home to enter the employment of a
Mr. Cruger of Santa Cruz. Whenever
his employer was away, my father took
charge of his extensive business. In a
year or two a commercial life became
distasteful to him, and he came to this
city. He went to Princeton College,
and asked to be examined for entrance.
As his application was made after the
beginning of a regular term it was re
jected.
“ He returned to New York and en
tered (Juiuinbia College. One of its
officers, Mr. Cooper, was an ardent
Tory, and frequeutij wrote articles un
favorable to the Colonists, and gave
them to n)y father for delivery to the
newspapers. When they appeared in
print they were always accompanied by
powerful answers, written by my father
This was in 1775, when the resentful
feelings of the Colonists began to show
themselves. A mob collected about
Columbia College one day and threaten
ed to kill Mr. Cooper. My father
went out and commenced to address it.
Mr. Cooper leaned out of a front witi-
dow, and shouted : ‘Do not listen to
that disloyal young rascal. He is tell
ing you a lot of lies.’ My father's hear
ers became more furious when these
words reached them, and he had to ex
ert all his oratorical strength to keep
them in check until he could send a
messenger to warn the Professor to fly.
“ In 177 G he raised a company of ar
tillery. ‘ Washington’s Court,’ A. T.
Stewart’s picture, contains outrageous
caricatures of my father and mother.
My father’s height was the same as
mine, five feet six inches and a half,
and in the picture he is as tall as Mr.
Jay. My mother is put in a sort of
hole. II Stewart will send for me, I
will go to h s house and point out the
blemishes in the picture. It will cost
him a dress coat, though, for I gave
mine away a while ago. After uiy
father had collected and equipped the
compauy of artillery he was introduced
to Washington by Gen. Green Wash
ington made him a member of his staff,
and considered him a valuable subordi
nate. Now. sir. (leaning forward and
whispering), I am going to tell you
something that few know : my father
wrote all but the first three lines of
Washington’s farewell address. Wash
ington submitted a sketch of his pro
posed address, and in an accompanying
letter, which I have seen, said, ‘Write
your connections, alterations, and re
marks in a clear hand, so that I can
copy them without blundering.’ My
father thought it best to rewrite all but
the first three lines.
“My father broke his connection
with Gen. Washington’s staff on ac
count of an undeserved reproach. Gen.
Washington and he were in Philadel
phia at the time the rupture was made.
My father was iu the habit of issuing
ordinary orders without consulting
Gen. Washington. As he was return
ing oue day from the quarters of Col.
Trumbull, to whom he had bee iving
some instructions, he met ihe til-acral,
who said, ‘ Col. Hamilton, I wish to
speak to you,’ and led the way to his
private office, where Gen. Lafayette
was seated. Without prologue Gen.
Washington said, • Col. Hamilton, you
have treated me with great disrespect’
To which my father answered, ‘ If you
think so, General, we can separate.’
“On the day of my father’s duel
with Burr, my youngest brother and I
were fa his office in Pearl street, having
Come earlier in the day from the family
scat, a mile above what Is now called
Manhattauville. The Sunday before,
Col. Smith,,son-in-law of John Adams,
had dined with us, and the result of a
conversation on the subject was a tacit
agreement on my father’s part not to
fight. When he felt his death wound
he said to nis second, ‘Take my pistol.
I will riot lire.’ But his request was
not heard, and as he fell the weapon
struck against the earth and was dis
charged. My brother Philip, who
was shot two years before my lather,
withheld his fire in the same manner.
My father was the victim of a con
spiracy.
“ When Burr afterward visited Paris
he wrote to Talleyrand, announcing his
intention to visit him. Talleyrand's
reply was, ‘ I have a picture of Alex
ander Hamilton hanging in my house,’
Burr did not call. While the revolu
tion was devastating France, Talle
yrand was a frequent and welcome visi
tor at our house. On one occasion, re
ferring to my father, he said, ‘ I have
seen the man who made the fortune ol
his country toiling all night to support
his family.’ After my father’s death
I went to Spain and Portugal, to learn
something of foreign manners and cus
toms.
“ A week after my arrival in Lisbon
the Duke of Wellington encamped be
fore the Castle of Badajos. Mr. Bar
ron of Philadelphia and I joined his
army and awaited the battle. The cas
tle was on the summit of a mountain,
and surrounded by a series of fortifica
tious, the inmost of which was a
chevaux de-frise, seemingly insur
mountable. The British troops stormed
all the outlying defences, but were
brought to a stand by this barrier.
Meanwhile the French and Portuguese
were pouring shot and shell into their
ranks. The Prince of Orange, who
commanded the British storming party,
despatched an orderly to inform the
Iron Duke that the soldiers of Eng
land could advance no further. When
tho Duke received this message, he
said : 1 Damn the Prince of Orauge
The soldiers of England must advance.’
During this enforced pause a British
bugler, supposing from the comparative
quiet that the garrison of the castle had
retreated, crept through the ohevaux
de-frise and sounded his bugle. The
garrison, believing that a large part of
the enemy had entered the castle, be
gan a wild and disastrous flight. By
the by, sir, do not fotget to write to
Stewart about that caricature of uiy
father and mother. I did not remain
long in Europe after this battle,and on
uiy return to New York Studied law.
Iu time i became District Attorney—
was subsequently appointed by l’resi
dent Monroe one of three Florida Land
Commissioners' I wrote the report of
this commission, and it is still referred
to in title suits in that State.
“ I married the daughter of William
brother of John Knox. She was a
finely educated aud very sweet woman.
Her father spent SIO,OOO on her educa
tion. She died 1871. We never had
any children. All my brothers are
widowers. Now, sir, do not forget to
write to Stewart about that burlesque
on my father and mother.”
Col. Hamilton retires and rises early,
and in fair weather exercises liberally
Ho reads a chapter of the of the Bible
and the service of the Protestant Epis
copal Church every day, and frequent

Sympathy to tiio South.
We notice that the Northwest is of
fering sympathy to the South. A cor
respondent speaks plainly on this sub
ject. If Grant’s Arkansas message
does not disgust the honest Republi
cans of the North and Northwest it is
simply impossible for him to do any
thing that they will not approve. This
correspondent says :
“I am confident there has never
been su ii a marked change of senti
ment, such an earnest determination to
have wrong righted, as is in the minds
of the people of the Northwest. There
is no guarded, careful or doubtful ex
pression as to the course of Northern
political managers towards the South.
All condemn the field marshals, and
there is a general fixed purpose to see
to it that hereafter a complete change
of maneuvering is adopted I over
heard many in the hotels and on the
ears give expression to their feelings in
regard to the castigation J Y. Brown
gave to Butler. Without a single ex
ception all admitted that wbat ho said
was true, but doubted bis judgment.
Butler is like a convicted thief-—He has
no friends. Conservative Southerners
need have no fears as to its effect. I
am well convinced it has done great
good. It has made all realize that the
South has been goaded to death —even
to such an extent that patience has
ceased to be a virtue. So said those
with whom I conversed. We prophesy
a greater change will Like place at the
next Presidential election than was
wrought ii* the Harrison campaign -
The people are clamorous for a change.
They feel they have been most grossly
imposed upon by the Radical leaders,
and that the people of the South have
been outrageously insulted and misre
presented. Again I say there is no
mistaking the outspoken, frank expres
sion of opinion of the voters of the
Northwest. That section at least is
aroused and is iu sympathy with the
South. Manufactured murders and
crime cannot longer be used to gull
them They are literally disgusted by
designing politicians.”
—The people of Alabama have a
superfluity of officeholders who
draw a great deal of money from
the public treasury for which they
make r.o valuable return. In or
der to rid themsel v es of these
leeches they are thinking of call
ing a Constitutional Convention,
which they would probably do were
it not for the apprehension that
such a stap might be seized upon
by Grant as a pretext for over
throwing their Government. It
will be quite as well for them to
wait a while. When the next Con
gress comes together Grant will
have all he can attend to in defend
ing his immoral Administration,
and will be le3S inclined to meddle
in State affairs.

41II)A 41K EE VERT.
THE VICISSITUDES OF A BRILLIANT
LITERARY SOUTHERN WOMAN.
[Wash. Letter to theCin. Commercial.]
Then Madame Le Vert will give her
usual Lenten reception, full of music
and readings, as one evening’s defecta
tion to the world of fashion. It will
go, and it ought to go, to gladden the
tyes and fill the pocket of this wonder
ful little lady. She’s already a historic
figure in Washington, as was her father
and her grandfather before her. Iler
grandfather. George Walton, signed the
Declaration of lolepemlenee, married
the daughter of an English nobleman,
was Governor of Georgia, and a mil
lionaire. Ilor father, Col. Walton, suc
ceeded Gen, Jackson as Governor of
Florida, He was handsome accom
plished and noble, and lost his large
fortune by indorsing for his friends
He spent many of his latter years in
Washington; genial, full of anecdote,
sunshiny to the end, never arraigning
the fickle world that so quickly forget
him and that he so long adorned. II is
daughter, Oetavia Walton, w:.s born at
Pensacola, while her father was Gov
ernor of Florida. In early youth she
accompanied her father to Washington
and became a famous belle of succes
sive administrations. She married Dr.
Pierre Le Vert, of Mobile, and as a
young wife accompanied her husband
to Europe, She was a favorite at the
court of Victoria, winning the personal
friendship of the Queen. Although a
Protestant, she received the blessing of
thePupeat the Vatican. She spent
years abroad, and her “Souvenirs of
Travel ” are a graceful record of her
European life For many years her
home in Mobile was the center of the
i must generous and elegant hospitality.
| She entertained there many of her Eu-
I rnpean friends. Lady Emelino Wort
ley, in her notes on American Ufa makes
especial mention of her visit at the
beautiful home of Dr. and Madame Le
Vert.* She, beyond question, is socially
and personally the,most famous woman
the South has yet produced. Never
profound, she is simply marvelous in
her grace, versatility, and in an out
raying radiance of being which neither
time nor misfortune has found possible
to diminish. The Madame Lo Vert
who entertained the titled and distin
guished in her Southern home—and
who, till the first year of the war, gave
orand levees to the wealth and fashion
of New York, wherein she would carry
on sparkling conversation in half a
dozen languages at the same time, and
the Madame Le Vert of to-day, “ penni
less,” no longer young, trudging over
the long spaces of the capital on the
little feet that, till of late, never had
need to touch the ground, an umbrella
for a stuff, and her pockets full of tick
ets that are to earn her bread, are one
the same. Nothing cmild be more
changed than the condition of her lot,
while she is utterly unchanged, un
broken. undimmed, loving, enthusiastic,
ever delightful.
“ I saw you lift up that finger to stop
a car,’’ said her friend Mrs. Paran
Steven, to her not long since. •* As
you got into the car you smiled as if
you were perfectly happy, and I asked
myself, what in the world now can she
find to smile about —this woman who
lias lost fortune, friends, everything
that makes life delightful. Tell me.
I want to know. Were you as happy
as you looked? It seems impossible.’
“ I was,” said the little lady, “just
as happy as I looked. It was so de
lightful to have just five cents left to
take me home in a tar.”
Is not such a uature the fortune be
yond price, after all ?
