' ll'ould you like to he introduced to Dr. Franklin's errand hoy?'' asked a friend with whoui I was sojourning a few days lu 'hiladulphia, iu the year ltSOl. "lie is a most remarkable man," said my friend, and has been a prumlneut citizen here lor fully slxtj years." It would he a special privilege," I re plied. We crossed the Schuylkill to West Phila delphia, and made our way to the Pennsyl vania Asylum for the Insane. At the cu trance gate tnj friend wjfl warmly greeted by a courteous old gentleman, apparently about blxiy-Bve years of age, who was in troduced to me as Colonel itohert Carr, and was Introduced to him as a citizen of New York in quest of reminiscences ol events of our long-past history from the lips of survivors of actors in them. "You bear tho whole name," I said, "of the Irish baronet who was ono of tho com missioners sent lo 'regulate New England' and to assist lu snatching our province from the Dutch two hundred years ago." "Of tho same family stuck, probably, for was horn In Ireland," he replied. "Come in, gentleman, and be teated. It Is an early hour, and wc shall have few inter- uptlons." He led the way to a small furnished room, and there we spent about two hours very profitably with the venerable gate keeper of the Asylum, and the errand-boy of Dr. Franklin, who was then oyer eighty-three years of age, and whose career lias been checkered b.. many vicissi tudes. He was a stout-built, vigorous man, possessed of sound health nnd remarkable bouyaticy of spirits. He assured me that lie bail not been sick In oyer sixty years. "You say you werejtorn In Ireland. My friend tells uie that four life has been quite an eventful one?" I remarked. Somewhat," he eald. "Hut It is now well nigh over," he continued. "I try to forget the miseries which are few, and to remember the mercies which are many." At my request he cave a brief sketch of his life's history. He was brought to Philadelphia from Ireland by bis parents when ho war. six ytais of age. Ills father was a school teacher and lived next door to Dr. Franklin In due time young Carr learned the art of printing with Mr. Dache, Franklin's grandson, and soon rose to the head of the profession lu Philadelphia. In 1804, when be was only twenty-six years old, he was awarded the first prize of a so' clety for the best specimens of printing on exhibition. He was employed to print Wilson's "Ornithology" from the raautii script, also a reprint of "Itces's Cycloped la.)' As a young member of the famous Philadelphia military corps known as the "ilcPherson Blues," he was one of the firing squad on the occasion of the celebra lion of WasbInstons funeral by Congress", then In session at Philadelphia. Five of his associates were living in that city at the time of my visit, namely: Charles lirrck, aged ninety; S. Palmer, aged eighty-one; 3. F. Smith, aged eighty-one; Charles N, Danker, aged elgbiy-fire; Qulnton Camp bell, aged elgbty-tlye. I saw three of the live veterans at that time. . 'In 1812 Mr. Carr was commissioned major of a Pennsylvania regiment of In lantry, and rose ton lieutenant-colonel the following year. Serving faithfully all through the war of 1812-15, Colonel Carr was honorably discharged at its close, fan formany years he was the sole survivor do the field officers of the Army ot 1812; In Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. He-marrled. a daughter of William Dart- ram, the proprietor of the famous Dotanlc Garden, near Philadelphia, and In right of bis wife, after her father's death, be car rled it on from 1603 until 1800, a period of more than forty years. He served the State as adjutant-general a few years, and was for a long time an alderman and jus tice of the peace in Philadelphia. In his days of prosperity be was an active pro moter of public enterprises. Deprived of his property by the vicissitudes of fortune In his old age, he accepted the position of gate-keeper at tho institution whero we found blm. 'Our friend tells me," I remarked, ",that you were an errand boy for Dr. Franklin for a while." "Oh, yes," he replied, "I served him -as tucb for the spice ot nearly two years. IKe lived next door to Dr. Franklin, In Market street, and he seemed to tbink much of m; father, who was frequently in bis bouse by invitation. I sometimes went there with toy father, and Franklin treated me very, kindly, having always a pleasant word for toe.

I carried his manuscripts to the printers, nnd aUo the proof-sheets. Ills grandson, Denjatnln Franklin Ilaclie. then just out of college, who was much with his grandfather, assist ed him lu reading the pi oof-sheets. The oung man started a newspaper in the fall after Franklin died, ana it wits In his es tablishment that I learned the trade of a printer." Il'erc you living with Franklin at the tlmo of his tlealh?" 1 Inquired. les; for three months before he died 1 was In his mom a great deal, to do ciraiuU lor the Doctor, for his Httenilanfr. Mrs. Ilm- sod), and for thu family. For two or three weeks, I remember, Dr. Jones came sevcial limes every day, and sometimes brought Dr. Hush with him." "Do you distinctly remember the person al appearanco of Franklin?" 1 Inquired. "Perfectly," he answered. "It made a strong Impression on my young mind. Whuu I first began to do errands for him he was auite well went out frequently and ecelyed much company. He was then n strong built man, over seventy years of age, about live feet nine Inches In stature, and inclined to corpulency. His couiplexlom was fair, though be was an old man; his ejes ere gray and very bright when he was engaged in conversation; Ills hair was thin and long, but uot very gray, his uiouth was uot large and had a decidedly sweet expression. Franklin was polite and kind to everybody, whether he was a servant or a Senator, for ho was always a gentleman. I remember when Washington called to rue him, while on his way to New York to be inauguraied President of the United States. 1'liey embraced like brothers. FruuUlin had been suffering much pain that morn lng, but was relieved at the time of the President's call, when his maimer was cheerful, almost plajful at times, for he was rejoiced to see his friend. They never met again on earth." "You say you learned the printer's trade in the establishment of Mr. liache, Frank lin's grandson," I remarked. "Yes, I was his apprentice from 1702 to 1707. After I had been with him a year, finding me lather expert In detecting error In proof-sheets, 1 was frequently employed as assistant-proof reader and In carrying the corrected sheds to the writers for his paper, "The Advertiser." When the gov ernment was removed to Philadelphia from Nuw York, Washington was yery friendly lo Mr. JJache, because ho was a t:car kins man of Franklin, and occasionally wrott something on public matters for "Tho Ad vertiser." He also had olllclal papeit primed at our office. I carried corrected rroor-sheets to 1'reshlent Washington, anu sometimes assisted him tn the reading nnd making proper printer's marks for correc tions, which he did not always understand.'' "So you were once an errand-boy for Dr. Franklin nnd ll'ashlngton'a assistant proof reader," I remarked. "It Is even bo, and I am proud of the ser vice," said the veteran with a brlghtitullr of satisfaction, "Dttt Washlngton'sffi lend ship for Ilaclie soon cooled," he continued. Jefferson gained the control of Uache ami his newspaper, politically, after Freneau left the city. He was a violent political enemy of Hainllloli, you know, and man articles were published In Dache's papei abusing the Secret aro of the Tieasury and other leaders of the Federal parly, not even snaring tho President. The name of the "Aurora," the paper published most scan dalous attacks upon Washington's admin istration. I distinctly remember the great excitement In Philadelphia caused by an outrageous article in the "Aurora" against irashlr.glou, a day or two after he retired from the Presidency in the spring of 1707. I well remember that the bntchers of Spring Garden, who had been soldiers under Wash Ington, wete so incensed that they marched In a body to attack the "Aurora" oflice. They threw its types Into the street and nearly destroyed the inside of the rooms." "Political excitement ran high at that time, did it not?" I asked. "Never more violent since," he replied. "Why, for a while It separated families and religious denominations In social Inter course. The pulpits became political ros trums. I remember that In May, 1708, on a day of fasting and prayer, the ministers, by their violent denunciations from the pulpit, of 'Jacobins,' secret societies and philosophers, almost created a riot. The excitable population of Philadelphia were specially incited to violence against the Re publicans or Democrats who were thus de nounced. Fearing violence, Uache, with armed friends, so protected the "Aurora" office that no damage was done. Mr. Uache was personally assaulted on tho street, but was not much Injured; but the same year he fell a vletlm to the terrible scourge yel low feyer. which smote the city fearfully." 'You mentioned Mr. Freneau, the poet of the .Revolution. Did yon know him per sonally?' I Inquired. "Very well', though not Intimately," he answeied, "for he left Philadelphia while I was yet an apprentice sixteen or seven teen years old. He was small in stature, slightly built, but robust In appearance, b.Yln followed the sea for many years, He was of Kuguenot descent, and about forty i ears old when I first taw him. His eyes were dark and brilliant.; his hair was a rich dark brown; his smue was exceeaing ly captivating; bis voice was sweet; his whole face beamed with intelligence, and bis deportment indicated a true gentleman. Mr. Jefftison first employed blm translate lng clerk of tho State Department, but he wae soon engaged In editing a newspaper which was the organ of the Republican party. It was more violent In Its attacks upon Hamilton and Washington's puouc policy than Bache'i paper tv&s afterward. Long years subsequently Freneau acknow ledged that man; of the most vlolen k articles were written by Jefferson himself. But Jefferson must not be blamed," said Colonel Carr, 'for at that time he was really a monomaniac on the subject ot ml;- called'JFrench 'democracy.1 He had lately com from France, and was thoroughly lm bved with the spirit bf the radical French revolutionists. Freneau, yon know, cele brated in stirrtng verse the American vie torlei-during the war of 1812-16.

"Did yeu know personally ClurUs Tbom sen, the permanent Secretary- of th Con tlncutal Congress?" I Inquired, 1 know hint quite Intimately for several years," teplled Colonel Catr. "I first be came partially acquainted wltlt him about the year 1800. He was then busy In mak ing his ttanslatlon of thu Septuaglnt, or Old Testament Scriptures, from the origin al I? reek into Kugllsh. He also translated the New Testament. I had the reputation lieu of being the uiostcareful proof-read sr In Philadelphia, and when Mr, Thomson began lu have his great work put In type he employed mo to read the last revised proofs. The whole llible translated by Mr. riiumson was published by the Illdow Aitkin, In four volumes, hi 180S, at about the tlmo when I left priming and "took charge of the Uotanlc Harden." H'liat was the personal appearance of Mr. Thomson?'' I Inquired. "He was past seventy years of age when I first became acquainted with him. Ho was rither tall, quite spare In flesh; his face was very thin and much furrowed; his blue eyes were truly sparkling, and his straight white hair hung In graceful curls at the ends below his ears. Ills whol appearance was venerable; yet his form was erect, his step clastic, and his voice was strong, clear and musical. He lived, as you know, until 1824, when he was In the ninety-fifth year of his age." I gatbeied much more from tho lips of the venerable printer and soldier during our memorable interview that was exceed ingly Intetesting. He was about to com municate some of his reminiscences of the war of 1812-15 when he was called away by the arrival of visitors at the gale, and we bade him farewell. Colonel Catr remained very active almost o the last. A month before my visit he went among the Union camps, near Ailing- ton Heights, Virginia, where he traveled seventeen miles one day and attended a heatet at IKashington City that evening, I could have danced a cotillon after that," he said. In 18(13 he participated lu the cen- ennlal celebration of the birth of William Bradford, the first printer in Pennsylvania and New York, held by the New York Historical Society; and on the 22d of Feb ruary, 1804, when ha was past eighty sir years of age, he read Washington's Fare well Address before the veterans of tha war of 1812 al Philadelphia. He died on the 15th of April, 1800. ISknson J.Lossnta, LL.
