L. D. Gillaume, R. B. Brooke, G. R. Donoho, and Lot Flannery. The first named sends *-A Vase of Flowers” and “A Statuette and Flowers;” Mr. Brooke sends his “* Dog Swap.” exhibited here some time azo; Mr. Donoho is represented by “The Edze of the alogue, the prices asked for these follows: Mr. Guillanme’s, $2,000 and 35 sectivels: Mr. B . $2,000; Mr. Donoho’s, $750, and Mr. Flannery’s, (probably in clay of Plaster,) $35. Whether any of them have beea sold or not we are not advised. Thesales so far made from the exhibition this season amount, by the way, to something over $35,000; but we delieve the most customers have been found for pictures of moderate prices—that is, under $1,600, and perhaps un 300. Of course these are lar; 'y. numerically, as well as is’ means, though there are quite a number for whieh pretty stiff figures are asked. The hishest priced picture is Hoven- den’s “Elaine,” which is marked at 210,000. Next comes one at $3,000; six at $2.500; eizht at $2,000; twelve at $1.500, and twenty-eight at €1.000. These are the figures set down in the tatalozue, but It is safe to suppose that a cash offer of a cousiderably less amount would be ac- eepted in a good many cases. — The sharp comments mace by the corre- spondent of a western paper writing from this eity upon an allezed violation of good taste in the matter of window shades used by a certain Bevator’s family residing here seem to raise the question whether people should furnish their houses t=: suit themselves or to gratify outsidets and passers-by.

She says: “A more thoroughly musical, refined-and intellizent people I have never seen, His Life and Character. in Concord, Mass., Thursday evening, was born in Boston May 25, 1908, and was graduated at Harvard College in 1821. In college he twice received a prize for dissertations and once for declamation. He was the poet of his class on class day. Reckoning back eight generations there had always been a cl in his family; and after he had taught school five years he was admitted asa In the Middlesex Association of Ministers, and in 1829 was or- dained mihister of the Second Unitarian church in Boston. In 1833 he resigned, and in 1833-34 spent nearly a year in Europe, and, returning, » his career asa lecturer, making his home thereafter Concord, Mass.,a town an ancestoi of his had helped to found. “Water,” “Italy and th Relation of Man to the Globe” were the subjects of his first tectures, which were delivered in Boston. He next lectured on Mil- ton, Martin Luth lichael Angelo, Edmund Burke and George Fox, separately, in a series of biographical deliverances, and read a poem before the Phi Beta Kappa Society at Cam- bridge. In the following years, until 1849, he lectured frequently, his topics being English Literature, the Philosophy of History, Human Culture, Human Life and the Present Age. In 1838he published ‘Literary Ethics,” an oration, and in 1830 “Nature,” an Gane It was from 1840 to 1844 that with A.B. Aleott, William H. Channing, Theodore Parker, George Ripley, and others he contributed to The Dial, a quarterly pericdical of which Margaret Fuller was the editor the first two years and Mr. Emer- son the last two. In 184i he published “The Method of Nature,” “Man, the Reformer,” and the first volume of his Essays. The second, third, and fourth volumes of the Essays were delivered in 1844, 1870, and 1871, respectively. Tn 1846 appeared his first volume of poems. In 1818 he lectured in England on the “Mind and Manners of the Nineteenth Century.” It was ten years later that he published “English Traits.” In 1850 he published his work on “Rep- resentative Men.” and in 1852 his work appeared in the “Memoirs of Margaret Fuller Ossoli. Other compositions of his in more recent years ave been “The Conduct of Life,” 1860; an ‘Oration on the Death of President Lincoln,” 1865; “May id other Pieces,” 1867; an introdu Goodwi lation of “Plutareh’s Morale,” 187! . Selected Poems,” and very many lectures, poems, and magazine articles. Mr. Emerson was mar- ried in the autumn of 1835 to Lydia, daughter of Charles Jackson, of Plymouth, Mass. Emerson at Home. From the New York Times. At 9:30 o'clock the news was announced to the townspeople by the 79 strokes being sounded —the bell of the Unitarian church tolling the years of his life. To the Concord people this death came as a personal loss. They say of him to-night that he was the gentlest and most ap proachable of great men, and his home was freely open to his neichbors until his retire- ment with approaching feebleness, and even pthen he did not altogether seciude himself, but ponded to occasional brief calls in his old Kindly way.

Mr. Emerson's last appearance on any formal occasion in Concord was several months ago at ameeting of the village club, when, with the fassistance of his devoted daughter, and who has been of great assistance to him in his liter- ary work and studies of later years, he read extracts from an unpublished e&say. His last appearance in Boston was at the meeting of the Massachusetts Historical Society, when action was taken on the death of Carlyle—a memor- able occasion because of Mr. Emerson’s presence at his own institution. When Longfellow's death came his retirement was quite complete, and heuce his appearance at the poet's funerai was a surprise to many of his nearest. friends. He passed through this, for him, great under taking, however, exceedingly well, and just previous to tlris last attack of illness he was considered asin fuirly good health, though delicate and his faculties somewhat impaired. Emerson appears to have acted his own defi- nition of a philosopher—he reported to his own mind the eonstitution of the universe. He looked calmly at everything, into it, through it; and when ought came to him from within or without he jotted it down, not mentally merely, but actually. At all times he followed the habit, in the street or in his study, at mid- night or morning. His wife, as the story goes, sometimes asked him when he had arisen in the watches of the night, ‘Are you ill, Waido?” “No, dear,” from the self-poised husband, “only an idea.” He had been twice married, fst, when 27, to Ellen L. Tucker, of Bostun, who died a tew months after; secondly, three years later, to Lidia Jackson, of Plymouth, Mass. He has had three children, a son and two daugh- ters, who are clever and capable. His home at Concord is described as a “plain, square wooden house, standing in a grove of pine trees, which conceal the frent and sides from the gaze of passers-by.” It has a hallway in the center, to which entrance is made from an old- fashioned porch. The roof rans up from the four sides to a polnt In the center, from which two large chimneys rise. Besides the pine trees, there are jn ee tall chestauts, while in the rear stands a plain yellow barn. Half an acre behind.the house serves as a garden, in which fine roses grow, and rare hollyhocks, of which latter he appeared as fond as was Wordsworth Entering from the hallway to the right, the visi: tor finds a plain, square room, lined on two sides with simple wooden shelves, filled with books. A large mahogany table stands in the center of the room, covered with books and @ morocco writing pad. There is a large fire-place against the wall. above which hangs a copy of Michael Angelo’s “Fates.” Busts and statuettes of men prominent in modern reforms stand upon the mantel-shelf, along with ‘@ quaint, rough idol,which Mr. Emerson brought home with him from the Nile. Engravings hang upon the walls and the pine trees, ina little wind, brush against the window-panes, Across the hall is the parlor—a large room, filling the southern quarter of the house, the windows cur- tained In crimson. In the spring of 1878 this house was nearly destroyed by fire, but it was rebuilt after the original design. Mr. Emerson went to Europe while the work was beitig done, his family living inthe old manse, the home of Mr. Emerson’s grandfather, and better known to the present generation as the home for a con- siderable period of Nathaniel Hawthorne. It was along the road facing which Mr. Emerson’s house stands that the British troops marched on the memorable 19th of April, 1775. Apparently absorbed n transcendentalism, Mr. Emerson always managed his affairs with intelligence and thrift. No immersion in the Shah-Nameh of Firdousee, or, in the mysticism of the Bhayavat-Geeta, could render him unmindfnl of duty to his fai ing of an engagement or the adyantage of investment. Of worldly he naturally had Ittle: but of the little he made the most, and always kept rigorously clear of debt. tion with the ing were many and ty sojourn in Australia was an extremely pleasant one.

Morse, a gentleman.-specially fitted for the task, but the several biographies will be written by those regarded as best qualified for each particular subject. Ex-Secretary Schurz is to write the life ot Henry Clay. The volumes are attractive in appearance, and the set when completed canuot fail to be a popular and valu- able acquisition to the literature of the country. NOAH WEBSTER, By Horace E. Scuppen. Boa- fon; Heughton, fwittin & Oo, Washington: FB This is the second yolume in the attractive “American Men of Letters” series. The sub- ject chosen by Mr. Scudder for his contribution to it is one of rare interest, sluce every one wants to know or ought to know something ‘about the acknowledged authority on what might be called the American language; and the author has morever performed his task with marked cleverness and credit. His estimates of the distinguished lexicographer seem to be clear and Just, and the narrative and descriptive por- tions of ‘the book are singularly quaint, graphic and satisfactory. The next of the set will be from the pen of James Russell Lowell, with Na- thautel Hawthorne for his subject. An oe ETRE Pe New York: Beribner & Welford. " Washigions Hob ART WORK IN GOLD AND SILVER.

Washington: Rob- In view of the wide and increasing Interest in industrial and decorative art. the publication cf these two excellent practical handbooks is most timely. Their authors are recognized authori- ties on the subjects under discussion, and as each volume contains a historical record of the progress of the art of’which ittreats, and is pro- fusely illustrated with well executed engravings, intended to include representations of specimens of their kind remarkable either for elegance of form and beauty of decoration, or for historical interest, the series of which these books form a part has a value and interest not usually pos- sessed by publications of the general class to which they belong. Through F. B. Mobun we have from the pub- lishers, D. Appleton & Co., a copy of Sardou's “French Language Self Taught,” which is per- haps the best of all the short cuts to the end in view. It gives such rules, idioms and imaginary conversations as would enable an earnest and adventurous tourist to make his way with French people without much difficulty, pro- yided they listen to him patiently, and do not talk too fast in reply, and this, after all, is about ag much as any one with a picked-up knowledge of the language can reasonably hope to ac- complish. Ina little volume entitled ‘Philosophie Eloca- tion” which he has just published, Mr. James L. Vance, L.L.D., of Baltimore, has undertaken to lay down some brief and easily understood principles upon the important subject of voice culture. It is a publication well worthy the attention of all, and especially of those w! propose to read ‘or speak for the instraction or entertainment of others. From F. B. Mohan we ‘have “The Art of Speech,” a little volumé by Prof. L. T.
