Years passed. The war was ended. The young husband, fresh from the fame acquired at Yorktown, has studied law, has established himself at New York, has acquired distinction at the bar, has become one of the foremost statesmen of the time, the leading spirit of Washington's administration from whieh he withdrew but to resume an ever brightening career at the New York bar. What a pleasing picture of the Hamilton family is that which one of the sons hasreceutly given up in his Reminiscenccs. "Hamilton's gentle nature" writes his sou (James A.) "rendered his house a most joyous one to bis children and friends. He accompanied his daughter Angelica at the piano, when she played and sang. His intercourse with his children was always affectionate and confiding, which excited in them a corresponding confidence and devotion.

his celebrated pilgrimage to Canada, to try and induce the Canadians to join the thirteen colonies, lie was welcomed, at the landing in Albany, by General Schuyler, who took them home to dinner, presented them to the two daughters he had at home, Betsy and Peggy, whom one of them described as "lively agreeable, black-eyed girls." Betsy was nineteen then. The two young ladies and their father appear to have journeyed with the Commissioners as far as Saratoga, where General Schuyler, had a country home. At Saratoga Mr. Carroll, (afterwards Archbishop Carroll of Baltimore) again records the agreeable impression made upon his priestly mind by the daughters of the General. "The ease and affability with which we were treated, and the lively behavior ot the young ladies, made Saratoga, a most pleasing sejour, the remembrance of which will long remain with me."

Such was Betsy Schuyler as a young lady—one of the lights and ornaments of an opulent home—one of the daughters of a man high in the confidence of his countrymen. As the war went on during which their Albany abode was the resort of officers passing hither and thither, there visited them, now and then the young, alert and handsome aid-de-eamp of General Washington, Col. Alexander Hamilton.

A few weeks after those thrilling scenes, and while he was still an aid-de-camp of Washington, he was married at Albany to Miss Schuyler, with the consent, as it seems, of the family. This brilliant connection, so unequal in the world's eye, was made equal by Hamilton's shining talents and distinguished person.

been in his thoughts the evening before, when he had written a solemn injunction to his children nevet to forget what they owed to the "best and most devoted of mothers." In his will, he left all that he possessed to his "dear and excellent wife," and then added these works: "Should it happen that there is not enough for thd payment of my debts, I entreat my dear children, if they, or any of them, should ever be able, to make up the deficiency. I, without hesitation, commit to their delicacy a wish which ii dictated by my own. Though conscious that I have too far sacrificed the interests of my family to public avocations, and on this account have the less claim to burden my children, yet I trust in their magnanimity, to appreciate as they ought this is my request. In so unfavorable an event of things, the support of their dear mother,with the most respectful and tender attentioa, is a duty, all the sacredness of which they will feel. Probably her own patrimonial resources will preserve her from indigence. But in all situations they are charged to bear in mind, that she has been to them the best of mothers."

Thus can the eloquent tongue apologize for the faults of the weak heart and women, in their tender charity, accept the eloquent words and forgive the mighty wrong which lays waste their lives. Why could he not have said to Burr: "My wife and children have a prior claim upon my life! My life is theirs, and not my own. My life is not mine to risk."

He could not say these words, and no man at that day could have said them, unless he had been exceptionally strong and good, which Hamilton was not.

Mrs. Hamilton remained fpr more,than fifty years a widfbw, and during all that period she was an object of veneration and peculiar interest in all the circles in which she moved. It is pleasing to know that her children faithfully observed their father's injunction. She testified to the "unremitting kindness and attention" which she had received from her son, James A. Hamilton. He even supplied her wants abundantly. One of her letters to him has been published, in which she tells him that she did not need a check which he had sent her, and that he must not send her any more money unless she asked for it. "As all good acts," she added, "are recorded in the habitation where your father now is, I have no doubt this one will be proclaimed to him, and have thus give him another motive to implore continued blessings upon you. Amen, my dear son."

The Terms on Which Thiers was Elected President of France.

Particulars of the Single Scull Boat Race Yesterday.

A Ware-house Containing 16,000 Barrels of Petroleum Destroyed by Fire at Trieste.

&c.» &c.

VEBSAILLES,Sept.1.—In the Assembly to-day, Deputy Schooelcher moved that the state of siege now existing in Paris, be declared raised. The motion was rejected after a short discussion.

Sept. 1.—The terms on which

Thiers has been elected President are those proposed by Meriet with some very slight modifications. The most inportant part of the bill reads as follows:

All the powera which M. Thiers has heretofore exercised as chief of the executive, are prolonged for the period of three years. He is moreover intrusted with the promulgation and execution of the laws he is authorized to receive Ambassadors his official residence will be at the place where the Assembly may set lie will be lodged at the expense of the Republic he shall have the right to appoint members of the Council of Ministers, Diplomatic agents, ihilitary and naval commanders. The ministers ap~ pointed by him shall be responsible for their acts to the Assembly.

The motion of Meriet has been completed by an additional clause proposed by Chambord in these terms: That the President communicates with the Assembly by means of messages, and will be heard by the Assembly whenever he makes the demand. M. Thiers has been elected to the Presidency on these terms, not because the National AssembljT is satisfied with him or because it is afraid of his resignation, but simply for the reason that no one could be found to take his place. Indeed, the majority of the Assembly have of late been dissatisfied with the course of Thiers, and have made great efforts to supercede him.

The party of the Right have repeatedly offered the Presidency to the Duke de Auinale, but he would not accept it. The leaders of the same party then successively asked Marshal McMahan and Gen. Changarnier to accept the office for an indefinite period, but they both refused, saying that they were unwilling to become the pretext for disorders.

Marshal McMahan even strongly recommended the acceptance of Meriet's motion, for the prolongation of Theirs' power.

M. Grery, the President of the National Assembly was then offered the office of Thiers, but he declared himself even a more advanced republican than Thiers, and knowing the monarchial tendencies of the majority, he said he would not be instrumental in paving the way £o for the establishment of a monarchy

The party of the Right, vacillated for some time between its fears of Gambetta and the ascendency of the Republicans of the Left, and its fear of the personal rule of Thiers but the final refusal of Duke de Aumale, determined the party of the Right to vote for the bill for the prolongation of Thiers' powers. ,5#

TRIESTE, Sept. 1.—An immense house of this city, in which was stored upwards of 16,000 barrels of petroleum oil, was, together with its contents, entirely consumed by fire yesterday, notwithstanding all the exertions of the fire department. The flames spread rapidly and were not subdued until great damage had been inflicted upon the business portion of the city. The amount of the loss cannot yet be ascertained.

LONDON, Sept. 1.—The appointment of Lord Chief Justice Cockbune as Arbitrator on the part of Great Britain, under the treaty of Washington is officially gazetted to-day.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2.—A special dispatch to the Tribune, dated at Halifax Sept. 1, says: The annual carnivalelosed to-day with a single scull race, in which several of the best oarsmen of the crews which rowed yesterday, competed for a puree of five hundred dollars. Nearly all? the strangers had left the city ofi the morning trains, and comparitively few persons gathered along the harbor to see the race. The boats started at the lower end and rowed up the club marine piers without returning, making a distance of three marine miles.

There were ten entries, but only six men paddled down to the stake-boat and reported at the judge's boat. These were Henry Coulter, of the American crew J. H. Sadler and Robert Bagnall, of the Taylor-Tyne crew H. Kelly, of the Renforth crew Geo. Brown, of Prior's Nova Scotia crew, and G. Loritt, of Halifax. The harbor was "in excellent condition for rowing, there being no wind aud scarcely a ripple on the water. The boats were started by the whistle of the tug, about ten o'clock. Kelley and Brown did not understand the signal and lost a stroke. Coulter, who looked quite sick and in no condition to row, got the lead at the start and kept it the first mile, when he was seized with a lit of vomiting and gave up the race, pulling slowly along until off the dock-yard, when he went to the shore and put up his boat.

Lovett was behind, and the contest now narrowed down lo fdur iriien, ftnd became close and exciting. Sadler, whose course lay nearest the wharves kept the lead, Kelly being two lengths behind, Brown a length further back, and Bagnall even with him, but much further out in the stream. During the last mile Brown drew up to Kelly, passed him and gained on Sadler, who steered his boat across Brown's course and came in about a length ahead, winning the race in 25 minutes and 30 seconds. Brown came up five seconds behind and Kelly 38 sec-

onds later. Bagnall was five lengths behind Kelly. Brown entered a pretext saying Sadler had unfairly drawn over his course, but the umpire ruled against him.

The Belgin brothers, of the American four oared crew, came down to the starting point with Perry and Chambers, of the Rehforth crew, in the boat of the latter, and this extemporized Anglo-Amer-ican crew did some splendid rowing before the race commenced, for the benefit of the reporters on the judges tug, and afterwards followed the competing boats over the same course.

ST. JOHNS,

N. B.,Sept. 1.—TheTaylor-

Wiuship crew have offered to make a match with the Paris crew for five hundred pounds a side, to be rowed at Spingfield, Mass., in October, provided the St. Johns crew pay the Englishmen §500 for expenses. The St.- Johns crew are willing to make the match, but wiil not pay their opponents' expenses.

NEW YORK,

COLUMBUS,

Sept. 2.—The citizens

who have been invited to participate in the examination of Comptrdller Connally's accounts with the Joint Com" missioners of Aldermen and Supervisor?, are holding the matter under advisement, and have yet to determine whether or not they will accept the invitation. A private meeting of those who are in town, was held Thursday and another has been called fof the purpose of considering the subject further. At the second meeting it is expected all those who have been invited will be present.

It is surmised that L. B. Hunt will decline the invitation as it may be charged that the relations between his firm and Connolly's are too intimate to admit of his being so impartialy as to decide in the matter of the accounts. The impression prevails that all the others will accept the invitation, though they may attach certain conditions to their acceptance, which will require further consideration by the joint commission.

These conditions are understood to refer, first to the nature of the investigation in respect to their thoroughness, and second to the legal measures to be taken in the event that the persons shall be found guilty of fraud or speculations as currently charged.

Beautiful Answers.

A mute pupil of the Abbe Sicord gave the following extraordinary answers: What is gratitude

Gratitude is a memory of the heart. What is hope? Hope is the blossom of happiness. What is the difference between hope and desire

Desire is a tree in full leaf, hope is a tree in flower, and enjoyment is a tree in fruit.

What is eternity A day without yesterday or to-morrow —a day without eridC

What is time? A line that has two ends—a path that begins in the cradle and end9 in the grave.

What is God? tHi,w ,. A necessary being, the sun of eternity, the machineBt of nature: the eye of justice, the matchless power of the universe, the soul of the world.

Does God reason! Man reasons, because he doubts, he deliberates, he desires. God is omnipotent he never doubts therefore never reasons.

THE San Francisco papers describe a gigantic scheme for furnishing that city with pure water, It is proposed to procure a supply Lake Tahoe, iu the Sierra Nevada mountains on the eastern border of the. State, nearly two hundred miles from Sah Francisco. The water is to be conducted in mains, supplying the cities and towns on the course, and where tunnels are necessary, using the same with the Central Pacific Railroad, which will thus dispense with the snow sheds and carry its cars through a more moderate temperature, besides shortening the railroad route. The tunnel through the Sierra Nevadas, it is estimated, will be from three to five miles in length. The work is a stupendous one, and the cost of the tunnel is estimated at $15,000,000, for which a contract has already been concluded by the water company.

The text Books to be used in the High School will be announced to the pupils at the opening of the session.

Wherever changes occur, the books will be sold at one-half regrlar retail price, and, thus, instead ot an increase in the expenses of purchasing books, there will be a decrease in the same, since text booksarechanged only in those grades in which the pupils would be under the necessity of purchasing new booksby reason of promotion.

BOUNDARIES OF SCHOOL DISTRICTS.

Those pupils promoted to the A Grammar Grade will go to the First Ward. These- pupits promoted to IheB Grammar Grade, and who reside west of 9th street, will go to the First Ward and those who reside east of 9th street will go to City School No. 6.

Those pupils promoted to the Grammar Grade from the First and Fourth Wards, and those from the Second Ward who reside north of Walnut street will go to the First Ward those promoted from the Third Ward, and those from the 8ecor.d Ward who reside south of Walnut street, will go to the Third Ward and those promoted from City School No. 6, and from the Fifth Ward will go to City School ^Tlfe pupils in all the other grades will go their respective districts. The boundaries of these districts are almost the same as they were last year. Any slight changes will be explained to the pupils by the Principals ol the differentdis-

It is hoped that parents will assist the teachers in this work by sending the children promptly to their respective places, and any changes found necessary after trial in the above plan ol districting the city will be cheerfully made. ,.„ ,WM. W. WILEY, a28d Iw
