A CAPITAL STORY. The last New York Spirit of the Times, has an admirable story called 'The Big Bear of Arkansas. We take a fragment showing that small mosquitoes would be "no use in A rkanskw," and setting forth the merits of a certain dog. "Where did all that happen?. ll asked a cynical looking hoosier. "Happen! happened ,n Arkansaw; where else could it have happened, but in the cre ation State—the finished up country; a state where the site runs down to the centre of the 'arth, and government giVes you a title to every inch it. Then its airs just breathe them, and they will make you snort like a horse. It's a State without a fault, Co it is." "Excepting the musquitoes„" cried the hoosier. "Well, stranger, except them, for it ar a fact that they aro rather enormous, and do push themselves in somewhat trouble vorne. But, stranger, they never stick twice in the same place, and give them a fair chance for a few months, and you will get as much above them as an alligator.— They can't hurt my, feelings, for they, lay ttnder the skin; and t never knew but one case ofittlury resulting front them, and that was a Yankee; and they take worse to for. signers than they do to the natives. But the way they u•red that fellow!, first they punched him until he swelled up and bust ed, then he sup per-a-ted. as the deetor tinned it, until he was au raw ns beef) then be took thaager, owing tolhe warm weath er, and finally took a steambeat and left the country. He wits the onfit. man that ever took the musquitope to heart, that I knlw of.. But musquitoes is , nature, and I never Sad fault with her; if they are large, her rivers are large, and e small mesquite would be of no more use in A rkansaw,than the preaching in a cane break." This knork down argument in favor of big musquitoes used the hoosier up, and the logician sorted en a new track, to explain how numerous bears were, in his "digging," ; ere he rgprosented them to be "about as plenty a blackberries, and a little plenti !idler." "What season of the year does your hunts take place?" enquired a gentlemanly foreigner, who from seine peculiarities of his baggage, I suspected to be an English. man, on some hunting expedition proba bly, at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. "The season for bar hunting, stranger,' said the man of A rkansavv, .is generally all the year round, and the hunts , Enke place about as regular. I read in history that varmints have their fat season, and their lean season. That is not the case in Ark. ansaw, feeding as they do upon the sponte nacious productions of the site, they have one continued fat season the year round— though in winter things is a little more greasy than in summer, I must admit. For that reason bar run with us in warm weatir er, but in winter they only waddle. Fat, fat! Its un enemy to speed—it tames ev ery thing that has plenty of ii. I-have seen wild turkeys, from its influence, as gentle us chickens.' Run it bar in this fat condition, and the way it improves the critter is amazin; it•sorter mixes the ile up with the meat until you can't tell t'other from which. I've done this often. 1 re collect one perry mornin in particular, of petite an old he fellow on the stretch, and considering the weight lie carried, he run ' well. But the dogs soon tired him out, and when I came up with him wasn't he in a beautiful sweat-1 might say fever; and then to see his tongue sticking out of his mouth a feet, and his sides sinkin and openin like a bellows, and his cheeks so fat he could'nt look cross. In this fix I bla zed at him, and pitch me naked into a briar bush if the steam dit.t,'nt al of life bullet hole ten foot a in straight line. The fellow, I reckei,- - was made on the high pressure systim, and the lead a sort of burst his biler." "That columnrof steam was rather curi ous, or else the bear must have been warm," said . the foreigner with a laugh. "Stranger, as you observe he was warm and the blowin off of the steam showed it, and'also how hard the vermint 'had been run. -I have no doubt if he had kept on two miles furener his insides would have been stewed; and I expect to meet with a ver mint yet of extra bottom, who will ruu him self into a skin full of hat'b grease; it is pos sible, much onlikelier things have happen ed." "Where shouts are these bear so abun dant!" enquired the foreigner with tncreas• ing interest. "Wily stranger, they inhabit the neigh• horhood of my settlement, one of the pret tiest places on old Mississippi—a perfect location. and no mistake; a place that had some defect until the river made the "cut off," at "Shirt•tail-bend," and that remedied the evil, as it brought my cabin on the edge of the river—a' great advantage in wet weather, 1 assure you, as you can roll a barrel of whiskey into my yard in high water, from a boat, as easey as falling off a log; it's a greet improvement, es toting it by land in a jug, as 1 used to do, evapora; ted it too fast, and it becomes expensive.— Just stop with me, stranger, a month or two, or a year if you like, and you will appreciate my place. I can gip you plea• ty to eat, for beside hog and hiuinv, you can have bar barn, and bar sausages, and a mattress of bar skins to sleep on, and a wild cat skin, pulled off hull, stuffed with corn• shucks for a pillow. That bed would put you to sleep if you had the rheumatics in every joint in your boJy. I call that ar bed a quietus. Then look at my land, the government arn't got another such a piece to dispose of. Such timbers, and such bot tom land, why you can't preserve any thing natural you plant in it, unless you pick it young, things thar will grow out of shape so quick. I once planted in those diggins potatosiand- beets, they took a fine start, and Idler that an ox team could'nt have kept them from growing. About that time I went off to Old Kentuck on business, and did not hear from them things in three months, when I accidentally stumbled on a fellow who had stopped at my place with an idea of buying mu out. "How did you like things," laid 1, "Pretty well," said he; the cabin is convenient and the timber land is good, but the bottom land ain't worth the first red cent." "Whys" said 1. "Cause said he. "Cause what!" said I "Cause its full of ceder stumps and Indian mounds," said he, "and st can't be cleared." "Law," said I, "them nr 'cedar stumps' is beets, and them ar 'lndian rnouns' are tater hills,"—as l expecterl the crop was over grown and useless; the silo is too rich, and planting in Jirkansatto 'is dangerous• I had a good sized sow killed in that same bottom land; the old thief stole an ear of corn. and took it down where she slept all night to at; well she left a grain or two on the ground, and lay on them, before morn ing the corn shot up, and the percussion killed her dead.

The history of every nation is (•aught with romantic incidents. England has the story of her Alfred; Scotland of be r Wal lace, her Bruce, her Mary, and her Charles Stewart; Ireland her Fitzgerald; France her Man with the Iron Mask and Marin Antoinette; Poland her Thadues, and Rus sia her. Siberian Exiles. But we very much doubt whether any exceeds in interest the singularly touching story of Aaron Burr and his highly accom plished, his beautiful and devoted daughter Theodosia. The rise: and fall of Aaron Burr in the affections of his oeuntrymen, are subjects of deep historical interest. At one time we see him carried on the wave of popular favor to such giddy heights that• the Presidency itself seemed almost within his grasp, which he only missed to become the second officer in the nevi republic.— He became - Vice President of the United States. • How rapid his rise! and then hie fall, how sudden, how complete—ln conse quence of his duel with Hamilton, he be came a fugitive from' justice—is indicted for murder by the Grand Jury of New Jersey—flies to the south—lives for a few months in obscurity, until the meeting of Congress, when he, conies forth nod again takes the chair as President .of the Senate. After his term expires, he goes to the West, becomes the leading spirit in a scheme of ambition to invade Mexico—(very few will now believe that he sought a dismember. meat of the Union)—ie brought back a prisoner of state to Richmond, charged with high treason—is tried and acquitte —is flitted to leave his native land and go to Europe. In England he is suspected, and retires to France, where he lives in reduced circumstances, at times riot being able to procure a meal of victuals. Alter an absence of several years lie finds means to return home—fie lands in Boston with• out a cent in his pocket, an object of dis trust to all. Burr nad heard no tidings of his daughter since his departure from home; he was anxious to hear from her, her husband, and her boy, an only child, in whom his whole soul seemed bound tip. The first news he heard was that his grandchild died while ho was an outcast in foreign lands, which stroke of Providence he felt keenly, for he dearly loved the boy. - Theodosia, the daughter of Burr, was the wife of Governor ' Allston, of South Carolina. She was mar ried young, and while her father was weir the zenith of his fame. She was beautiful and accomplished, a lady of the finest feel ings, an elegant writer, a devoted wife, a fond motherond a most dutiful and loving daughter, who clung with redoubled affec Lion to the fortunes 'of her father as the clouds of adversity gathered around him, and he was deserted by the friends whoni he formerly cherished. The •first duty Burr performed after his arrival here, was to acquaint Mrs. Allston of ins return. She immediately wrote back to him that she was coming to see him, and would meet him in a few weeks in New York. This letter was couched in the most affectionate terms, and is another evidence of the purity and power ofwoman's love. In expectation of seeing his daughter in a few days, Burr received much pleasure She had become his all on earth. Wife, grandchild, friends and all were gone; his daughter alone remained to cheer and Ft)• lace the evening of his li'e, and to welcome him back from his exile. Days passed on —then weeks—and weeks were lengthened into months, yet naught was heard of Mrs. Allston. Burr grew impatient, and began to think that she too had left him. so apt is mis fortune to doubt tho sincerity of friendship. At length he received a letter from Mr Allston inquiring if his wife had arrived safe. and stating that she had sailed from Charleston some two weeks previous in a vessel chartered by him on purr:else to con vey her to New York. Not receiving any tidings of her arrival, bo was anxious to learn the cause of her silence. . What had occurred to delay the vessel? why had it not arrived?—these were ques tons which Burr could ask himself but no one could answer. The sequel is soon told The vessel never arrived. It undoubtedly foundered at sea, and all on board perished. No ti dings have ever been heard respecting the vessel, the crew, or the daughter of Aaron Burr—all were lost. This last sad bereave ment was only required to fill Burr's cup of sorrow. one last link was broken" which bound him to lite. The uucertairity of her fate but added to the poignancy of his grief. Hope the last refuge of the afßicted.became extinct when years had rolled tin, and yet no tidings of the loved end lost Imo were gleaned. Burr lived in New York until the year 1836 (we believe) when he died. The last years of his life were passed in comparative obscurity. Some few old friends who had never wholly deserted him, were his corn , [inions; they closed his eyes in death and ' followed his body to the grave, where it 'will rest till the trump of the Almighty shall call it into judgment. ; Such is a brief sketch of the , latter part of the strange and eventful history of Aaron Burr: None of the family now live—it has become extinct—and his name but lives in the history otitis country and in the remetir bereave of those who knew him.

L.— In the Life & Literary Remains "L. E. L," whose sweet poetry has often calmed- the perturbed spirit, and charmed the pure and susceptible heart, is the following descrip; tion of the personal appearance of thia-cele hrated authoress, Mrs. McClean, better known as Letitia Eliznbe'li Landon,whose melancholy and premature death has been so recently deplored: "Her hair wait 'dark ly brown,' very soft and beautiful, and al• ways tastefully arranged; her •filuro but well formed and graceful; her feet small, but her hands especially sn, nod faultlessly White and finely shaped; her fingers were fairy fingers; her eats, air. were observed 1y little, her face, though\ not regular in 'every feature,' became l4ttatitifol by ex• preesion; every flash of thought, every change and color of feeling, lightened over it when she spoke earnestly. The fore head was not high, but broad andfull, the eyes had no overpowering brilliancy, but their clear, end intellectual light penetra ted by its exquisite - softness; her . mouth was not lees marked by - character, and besides the glorious faculty of uttering pearls and diamonds of fancy and wit, knew how to express scorn, or anger, or pride, as well as it knew how to smile winningly, or to put forth those short, quick, ringing laughs, which, not excepting even her bon mole and aphorisms, went the most delightful things that issued from it." "YANKEE MODE OF TESTING COURAGE. —lt is wellknown that in the time of the old French war much jealously existed be - tween the British and Provincial officers.— A British Major deemed himself insulted by General (then Capt.)

The tent was full of officers and men, who were heartily tickled with the strange device of the "old 'Noll," and conn . pelted the Major by their laughter to squat.

DEFRAUDING NEWSPAPER FIDITORS , - By the following extract from a. Washing ton letter published in the•Darbv Republi can, it will be seen how the Washington Clerks defraud the editors of papers, sent to members of Congress, out of their dues. We are the more willibg to give credit to this statement because we have ourgell seen something which gives coloring to it.— such abuses should be corrected:—H. Chronicle- "Do you editors know how you are wronged by the lace foco clerks At this place? Why in one item of newspapers furnished to the members of the Eltiu-e of Representatives, the clerks withheld at least one half. For instance, at this called session, each member is entitled to three daily papers, nr what is equivalent—the members make out their list amounting to thirty dollars, the price of three daily ga pers. The National Intelligencer is set down at ten dellars, the Penns% Minis In quirer at eight dollars, and so on until the thirty dollars are eked nut. All the papers are down at their lull price for the year, Now,the ses4ion lasts two or three months, and the papers are ordered during the ses sion. The Intelligencer is paid for by the month—the others will not receive over the half year's subscription, and owl the 'clerk draws thirty dollars for each member for newspapers, and does not pay to the edi• tors one half that sum. The newspapers furnished the members cost the Govern ment 89.000--the editors receive about 84,000 of that sum.
