AJacob Barker. young, and at twenty-one he owned four ships and a brig, and was largely engaged in commercial transactions. As a State Senator, and while sitting in the Court of Errors, he gave an opinion in an insurance case in opposition to Judge Kent, and was sustained by the court. During the War of 1812 his ships were all captured. Being in Washington, D. C., during its sack by the British (August, 1814), he assisted Mrs. Madison in saving Stuart's portrait of Washington, then hanging in the President's house, which was set on fire a few hours later.

Halleck, Fitz-greene 1790-1867 Poet; born in Guilford, Conn., July 8, 1790; became a clerk in the banking-house of Jacob Barker at the age of eighteen years; and was long a confidential clerk with John Jacob Astor, who made him one of the first trustees of the Astor Library. From early boyhood he wrote verses. With Joseph Rodman Drake, he wrote the humorous series known as The Croker papers for the Evening post in 1819. His longest poem, Fanny, a satire upon the literature and politics of the times, was published in 1821. The next year he went to Europe, and in 1827 his Alnwick Castle, Marco Bozzaris, and other poems were published in a volume. Halleck was a genuine poet, but he wrote comparatively little. His pieces of importance are only thirty-two in number, and altogether Fitz-Greene Halleck. comprise only about 4,000 lines. Yet he wrote with great facility. His Fanny, in the measure of Byron's Don Juan, was completed and printed within three weeks after it was begun

De Peyster) entered the room. The picture was lying on the floor. The sound of approaching troops was heard. Save that picture, said Mrs. Madis which she had also resolved to save, she hastened to the carriage, with her sister and her husband, and was borne away to a place of safety beyond the Potomac. Barker and De Peyster rolled up the picture, and, with it, accompanied a portion of the retreating army, and so saved it. That picture was left at a farm-house, and a few weeks afterwards Mr. Barker restored it to Mrs. Madison. It now hangs in the Blue Room of the White House in Washington. The revered parchment is still preserved by the government. Message on British aggressions.

Butler in respect to Confederate money, it is believed, was suggested by merely speculative motives, and it is said that it was drawn up by Jacob Barker, in concert with Butler. The result is that money has fallen greatly in value, and may be bought at twenty-five cents in gold for a dollar. The object was to use it in the purchase of sugar, molasses, and cotton, on the presumption that thosantities, and that no man owning them would reject our currency in exchange for them. Butler himself has been a noted speculator. He has a brother — a merchant — in Boston; and to him all the produce purchased will be sent. So that Butler, Barker &Butler expected to share the enormous profits that it was supposed would be realized. It is a very pretty game, and so like a Yankee ! and particularly so much like Butler, who is surnamed "Picayune," although "dollar" would be better under
