He does so much dislike the wearing of that 50 heavy dress, sud s0 do they all. They do all profane about it,” 1t is nows to learn that the diplomatic corps at Washington ever get up en- ergy enough to ‘‘profane.” Their privcipal ocoupation hasgenerally been understood to be to eat dinners and it in the diplomatic gallery on state oocasions. MARSHAL AND POLICE Our city charter, section 95, gives the marshal absolute control of the police forve of the city, and in that connection leaves him enly subject to the orders of the mayor, who as chief exeoutive is veated with the power of appointing the marshal and policemen by and with the consent of the coun- cil. Marshal Angel has now been in office more than a year, and has proved himself utterly incffioient as the head of our police force, Heis by nature and habit unfitted for police duty, which requires prompt- ness of decision, vigor and tact. He is deficient in all these qualities, be ing slow, lazy and indulgent. Above all thinge, ho lacks the ability which, in the police department as in the army, is essential His deputy is even less efficient and more shiftless, No wonder our police force is sadly demoralized and fails in every respect to fulfill the functions for which it is created. It is the duty of the police to ar- rost every person who violates the city ordinances in their presence, but it is notorious that policemen do not only fail to do their duty in this re- spect, but some of them actually draw extra pay as special policemen for keeping order in resorts where the law is systematically violated. Since July 1, 1881, our po- licemen draw 870 a month. The deputy marshal is entitled to $60 per month as jailor, and $10 per month as janitor of the city offices. As o matter of fact most of his duties are performed by Policoman Grana- cher, who does all the janitor work and most of the jail guarding, for which the city pays another $60 per month. Since July1st the marshal without authority of law, has filed vouchers for his deputy at $70 per month in addition to the $10 he draws as janitor, simply because the council passed an ordinancoe raising the pay of policemon from $60 to $70 per month, most Mayor Boyd, in his late message, | recommends an increase of police and the doubling of jail guards, Thereisno doubt we want an increase of police, but we certainly need no increase of jailors. Befors the police is ;nurannud. how- ever, the council should put its foot down and insist on certain qnalifica- tions for policewen. In tho army, where the duties are similar, no man is enlisted who is over 45 years of age beeause the duties of soldiers require young and active men. Even army officers are retired after they pass their period of active use- fulness, Next to physical ability come tem- per and habit. The police should be made up of men who can pass a ea- loon without getting so thirsty as to lose control over themselves. They want men who have a nose for scruti- generation of thinkers ever tarned | OTHER LANDS THAN OURS. their eyes for inspiration and strength. Mysticism was Emersons creed, ha. manity his religion, and eclecticism his philosophy. As the goal of his othical system he held up o stern sad practical rectitude worthy of his clerical ancestry. Re- taining from his study of Orienalism a strong bolief in the supremacy of the emotions, that ‘Over Soul” which makes all good men kin, he combatted strongly the idea of philosophic indif- ference and declared boldly that ‘‘feu- dalism and orientalism had long enough thought it majestio to do nothing,” stoutly maintaining that ‘‘the modern majesty consists in work.” Mr, Emerson has often been com- pared to Carlyle. His literary work- shop forged no rapiers but turned out mighty weapons remarkable alike for the keenness of their edge and their absence of finish. His style as a writer of prose was lacking in repose but armed with points like the bristles of a hedge hog. He was a vigorous reasouer but one who spurned system and refused to be bound by ordinary trammels. Never hesitating to sacrifice unity to richness of detail, his essays aro like bundles of loose ideas tacked together by a common title, but pervaded by the earnestness of a man conacious of his mission and anxious to place it with electric directness before the world. If the test of eloquence is ita power to persuade, Emeraon was truly eloquent. His obscurity, of which there was 80 much complaint, was the obscurity of concentration, not of dif- fuseness. “In reviewing Mr. as a literary artist,” wrote one of his pupils, some some years ago, ‘‘the reader will com- plain of this tantalizing fragmentari- ness, this disregard of all the unities, this structural defect. Even in his poems his genius is like an aoalean harp that now gives, now wilfully withholds its music, while some of his eem merely accidental collec- il of loose leaves from a mnote book.” Yet, as one makes this criti- cism, he is shamed into silence by re- membering many a passage of prose and verse 8o majestic in thought and rhythm of quality so rare, and utter- ance 80 delicious as to form a perma- nent addition to the highest literature of the human race. Emerson The Philosopher-Poet. Chicago Times. y Mr. Emerson comes of a clerical family, Seven of his ancestors in suc- cessive generations, either on tha pa- ternal or maternal side, were clergy- men. He was born in Boston, his father being pastor of the First church in that city, and he was educated at the famous Latin school and Harvard college, graduating at the latter in 1821, und serving as poet on class- day. He was noted in college rather for his use of the library and for his wide acquaintance with general literature than for any special pro- ficiency in his studies. He qualitied as a minister in 1826, having nizing criminals and the grit to follow and capture them. Every man in the present police, force who is qualified should be re- tamed and those who are disqualified by bad habits or advanced age should be retired. In choosing his force the mayor should rogard the wishes of the marshal, but when the marshal him- self is incompetent the mayor should act on his personal knowledge as to the fitness of men for police duty since he is responsible to the city for the pub- lic safoty. If the mayor nominates men who are notoriously unfit for po- lice duty the council 18 1n duty bound to refuse its consent to such appoint- ments, RALPH WALDO EMERSON. The death of Mr, Emerson, which occurred on Friday in Conoord, Mass,, removes from the field of American let- ters a priest of thought and a prophet of self culture whose stimalus will for- over bo impressed upon our national literature. Poet, philosopher, orator, ossayint—a preacher whose creed re- fused to be confined within the nar- row bounds of creed and whose reli- gion found its mainspring in that in- ner light which is at once the basis and the outgrowth of all true spiritual discernment, nu American author of the present contury has so powerfully affected the current of thought in this country or turned it into chan- nels of such fruitful and lite-giving ac- tivity. Mr. Emerson was, by nature, a phil- osopher, and is properly ranked as such. It has well been said that Em- erson concentrated and vitalized the best aspirations of Amerioan transcen dentalism, The voice of the Gérman idealists first woke New England from her study of the Oalvinistic thoology, and enlarging her mental vision, made Boston a very pantheon of stranger deities of philosephy and demi-gods of ancient and modern thought, In this temple, at whose altars Channing was a timid worshipper, and Theodore Parker a late born convert, Emerson long ministered as high priest. Thor- eau, Margaret Fuller' and Bron- son Aleott were co-worshippors, teachers of a school which for years was the greatest stimulus of the literary, social and political thought of New Eugland and through New Eogland of the United States. But Ralph Waldo Emerson from that day in July 1838 when he delivered his remarkable oration at Cambridge was the acknowledged master mind the *sage of Concord” whose home was the Mecca to which the present taught achool in the intervening five years, but on account of his health he did not at once enter upon clerical du- ties. In March, 1829, he was ordain- ed as colleague of the Rev. Henry Ware, pastor of the Second Unitariau church, but his ministry was brief, In 1832 he retired from the pulpit on ac- count of differences of opinion be- tween himself and the church in rela- tion to the Lord's supper. After spending a year in Europe he return- ed to Boston, and in the winter of 1833-4 began his long and illustrious career as a lecturer, In 1834 he de- livered, in Boston, a course oi biographical lectures on Michael An- gelo, Milton, Luther, George Fox and Edmund Burke, the first two afterward Appmin% in The North American Review. In the same year he read a poem before the P Beta Kgpr society. In successive years he delivered courses of ten lectures on English literature, twelve on the philosophy of history, ten on human culture, ten on human life, ten on the present age, and seven on the times, and in more recent years he has deliv- ered several courses of lectures. His philosophy, if the word doesn't contain too much of the idea of a dogml lylhllm“dt.q be ap- propriate, was promulgated in & small volume entitled ‘‘Nature,” published in 1836, ‘‘The American Scholar,” an oration before the Phi Beta Kappa society in 1837, an address to the senior claas of the Cambridge divinity school in 1838, and ‘‘The Method of Nature,” 1841 He wrote for The Dial during the four years of its ex- istence, and was its editor during the last two. His first volumo of poems ap- peared in 1846, In 1844 he gave sev- oral lectures in England, in 1849 col- lected, under the title of ‘‘Miscella- nies,” & number of his lectures and addresses, and, in 1850, published his “Essays on Representative Men,” followed two years later by some con- tributions to the ‘‘Memoirs of Mar- goret Fuller Ossoli.” *“English Traits” appeared in 1850, “The Conduct of Life” in 1860, “May Day, and Other Pieces,” & collestion of poems, in 1867, and “‘Society and Solitude” in 1870. Besides all these writings, he often contributed to the Atlantic Monthly bis articles, in which have been col- leoted and delivered addresses on slavery, the rights of women, and other topics, E————— BECRETARY TELLER states that he will proceed cautiously in the manage- ment of Indian affairs, and not at- tempt abrupt changes of policy, He believes in settlement upon farm lands in severalty, when Indians <re suf- ficiently advanced to rende: the suc- cess of such a plan probatle; but that, he says, is not yetyHe wishes to have the reservation system sup- planted by a systen of patenting lands to Indians by tri'es. Underthe pres- ent system, Indlan tribes are moved about for one teason or another. To this the eecretary objects, He thinks the Apaches, as well as other. wild tribes, should be disarmed. Mr. Gladstone again ealls check- mate to the Tory ranks by announc- ing the coming introduction by the Iiberal ministry of a bill regarding ar rears of rent in Ireland. One of the gravest obstacles to the cfficient oper- ation of the land law has been the proviro that all arrearages of rent must be paid by the tenant farmer e- fore making application for a reduc- tion of rent through the land commis- This has debarred hundreds of farmera and tenants of small holdings from taking advantage of the law. Mr. Gladstone now proposes on behalf of the government to relieve the ten- ants of all unpaid rents, and make the sum of money a free gift and nota loan as proposed by the conservative party. To do this he intends to re- imburse the landlords for their losscs, drawing upon the Irish church fund for the necessary monies. This isa step in the right direction toward se- curing absolute poasant proprictry, which must come sooner or later. Ultimatoly parliamentary legislation must be forthcoming which will pro- vide for the purchase of all lands by the government from the landlords and their distribution among the peo- ple. Then, with the granting of home rule. the opening of Ireland to {hose manufactures of which she has been 80 cruelly deprived and the lifting from her neck of a yoke which no country but Ireland could have borne for o long, the country wiil enter upon an era of prosperity for which she so long waited. sion, g R Y In presenting the budget for 1882 in the house of commons Mr. Glad- stone was forced to admit that owing to oertain items of increased expen- ditures ohiefly in Ireland, the re- port was not as satisfactory as he had anticipated. Had it not been for these unforseen drains upon the treas- ury the budget estimate for the com- ing year would have been the most savisfactory since 1857. The heavy charges growing out of the Taansvaal and Afghan wars now disappear from the estimates, relieving the chancel- lor of the Exchequer in the preeent year of a burdun of £2 250,000 of ex- penditure, but the reduction in the estimated disbursements as compared with the actual expenditure of 1881 is only £892,000, whilo the esti- mated revenue is £887,000 less than the sum actually collected last year. There is, howevet, an estimated sur- plus of £805,000, which 1s £45,000 less than the surplus of 1881, Mr. Gladstone is moved by the increasing difticuity of keeping down the national expenditure #o compare the financial policy of Great Britain with that of the Uunited States in a manner ex- tremely flattering to us, but he has evidently overlooked the fact that the most pressing demand of the tax pay- ers of this conntry is not for a more rapid payment of the debt and a rigid economy in expenditure, but for a re- mission of taxation, a step which can bs taken here much more easily than iu the United Kingdom, The census of Canada, just laid be- fore parliament, gives the curious in- formation that there are in the do- minion 109,435 widows and 50,896 widowers, Pathos and jesting alike can borrow material from these fig- ures. In the total population of about 4,250,000, the men outnumber the women by about 653,000. The sta- tistics of religion given by the census are also somewhat interesting. The Roman Catholics lead numerically with 1,791,982 members. The Pres- byterians report 676,165 members, of whom about 13,000 are classed as Re- formed Presbyterians and 33,000 as Scottish Presbyterians, But the Pres- byterians are outnumbered by the Moethodists, who have 748,107 persons in their parishes. ‘The Church of England is fourth on the list, so faras numbers are concerned, with 574,8! members. The Romanists thus come short of equaling the combined strength ef the three communions just mentioned by only] about one- tenth. The Baptists report rather more than 300,000 in their com- munion, snd the Congregationalists 27,000. Nearly 3,000 are catalogued a8 having no religion, The religious preference was not given in 87,000 instances. The tables of nativity show that the Chinese have overrun the do- minion by the presence of 4,000 or more representatives of that raco. The French nationality is most largely represented, there being well-nigh 1,300,000 persons of that origin, “T'he Irsh are next, with an aggrovate of nearly 1,000,000, while the English have about 100,000 less than the Irish and the Scotch have nearly 700,000 oredited to them A quarter of & mil- lion of Germanic origin are included in the table. A little more than 20,- 000 Africans were found in the Do- winion, Inmore than 40,000 cases, the census report states, the national- Ity was not given to the enumerators, and they also failed to ascertain the birthplace of citizens in more than 6,000 instances, Contrary to the tory predictions, the liberal policy has not yet occa- sioned the loss to Great Britain of her African colonies, There now seems to be good ground to suppose that it will have the effect of increasing the respect of the colonists and of the na- tives for British rule. The Cape gov- ernment decided to change its tactics towards the Basutos. The disarma. ment bill, with which the name of Sir Bartle Frere is ro disagroably associa- ted, is to be repealed, loyal Basutos are to be compensated, and other efforts of a conciliatory naturs are to be made. The mecretary for native affairs, in an address before the colo- nial legislature in introducing the measure, was 8o hopeful with respect to the future that it is difficult to be- lieve that such an agreeable state of things could be so soon broughtabout. The aim of the Gladstone ministry from the start has been to prove, in South Africa at least, that there is truth in the oft-repeated aphorismthat ““force is no remedy.” It begun by according justice to the Boers, now it is dealing with the Basutos, and there is reason to expect that it will pres- ently be marked by the restoration of | Cetewayo to hi kingdom and peoples An important shipping case was re- cently brought before the chief justice of Singapore, by the master andagents of Holt's ocean line of steamers. Some thirty-three cases of goods were shipped in Hong Kong, on board the steamer Achilles, on the 10th ult., for Singapore, represented by the shipper, A. M. Essabhoy, as twonty packages of tea and thirteen packages of china- ware. On opening the hatches to dis- charge cargo, one of these packages waa found to he smoking, and the con- tents proved to be matches. On ex- amination of the whole of the pack- ages, fifteen of them were found to contain matches. The representative of the shipper there claimed thegoods un- der a bill of lading, but finding how matters stood, he afterwards repu- diated the goods and reclaimed his bill of lading. The court directed the confircation and sale of the cases to pay the’cost of the application, the balance to be held by the agents pend- ing further order of the court. The matches were, it appears, a clever Japanese imitation of the Danish and Swedish matches usually sold in the market, but proved very combustible, Believing these packages to be cor- rectly described as harmless tea and chinaware, they were stowed in the hold with Chinese matting and other easily inflimmable matter; and as the Achilies, besides her ofticers and crew and European passengers, had some six hundred Chinese on board during the voyage from Hong Kong, the danger incurred of loss of life and property by this false declaration of contents was very great, and cannot be too severely condemned. Jpu— Austria hos resolved that there shall be no persecution of the Jews within her domain. The barbarities which have been dignified in Germany and Russia by the name of an anti-Semitic movement, seemed about to break out in Austria, but Count Taafe, the imperial prime minister, has issned stringent orders against the Jew bait- ers, and warning them at the punish- ments thty will lay themselves sub- to if they make any riotous demon- strations. Russia could restrain her fanatics by equally determined action on the part of the government, but it seems to prefer to drive the Hebrews into expatriation. During the second empire the mu- nicipality of Marseilles presentad an imperial chateau to the emperor, Na- poleon III. Now that the second empire is overthrown and the em- press in exile, the mayor of Mar- seilles has begun suit against her in the name of the cily to recover the chateau, which, as he claims, belongs to the town, The emigration from Ireland was less by 17,138 in 1881 than in 1880, The total number of emigrants, na- tives of Ireland, who left the Irish ports from May 1, 1851, to December 81, 1881, was 2,716,604; 1,446,682 being malys and 1,269,022 females, From 1859 to 1855 the number aver- age3-1487985 annually; from 1856 to 1866 the average number was 88,272, and between 1866 to 1876 the average was 84,0667, The highest total was reached in 1852, with 190,322, and the lowest number 37,687 in 1876. The nnmbers of the last few years have been 38,603 in 1877, 41,124 in 1878, 47,065 in 1879, 95,5677 in 1880 and 78,719 in 1881, Of those who emigrated last year, 78.4 per cent went to the United States and 10,623 to Great Britain, About 64 per cent of the total were classed as laborers, and only 6 per cent as farmers. The undertakers in Europe do not exhibit their wares, as is the custom in the United States. Coffins are made by them to order, when wanted. It is only in large cities that any stock is kept, and is placed out of sight. A few yoars ago an enterprising under- taker in Basle, Switzerland, started business in the American style, and put a couple of small coffins in his window. OCrowds gathered to stare at the unwonted sight, and before the end of the week the police notified the owner that ‘‘the unseemly exhibi- tion” must cease. Keeps Them on & Gallop.

The Kate Field co-operative dressmak- ing ass ciat on in New York has held its first ann:al meeting, and comes out 4,000 aheadl on its first year's business, This would indicate that the husbands of those who patronized the establishment]jcame out exactly $4 000 benind. A New York woman has made her will on rilver cards, taking out a piece of each card in the shape of a crescent —no two be- ing alike—and giving this piece to differ. ent herrs, They are to receive what she has bequeathed them on the cards into which their ciescent picces fit. Fashlon is runoing wild over embroid- eries of every kind, and this trimming is used with a lavish hand upon toil:ts de- signed for every occasion. Morning dresses of _pale-colored_surab, veiling, vigogne, and summer cashmere show exquisite de- signs in Venetian openwork; Grecan pt- terns in superb oriental coloring blended with gold or sitver threads, and floral de- vigns with blossom and foli«ge of nature’s own counterpart in size and hue. Whole drerses of net are completely covered with embroidery, to be wo.n over priucesse slips of tinted surah. The wide Tyrolese and (iainsborough hats rival the London Witch and Que n Mab bonnets in general favor, while the close little cap bounets beloved by Krench ‘women are smallor, flatter, and more fash- ionable then ever. Among a number of pretty Frenzh bonnets is a Gipsy low hue. Outeide is a wreath of scarlet honey- suckles and a bunch of perfumed Is.bella roses Thelace crown is covered with amber beads, and the strings are of yellow net worked with beads and caught to- gether by a bit of scarlet honeysuckle, The mont fashionabls styles in walking costumes are those which show a perfect] 11ain skirt formed of some rich material, gored iu French fashion, thus giving it the cachet seen upon no other skirt. Around the bottom is placed & full *rampant” out- standing ruche, which constitutes the only trimming. Above this is worn a short polonaise with full short poufs at the side, or a pointed bodice and tunic with pan- niers, To be worn with these are hand. some jackets or visites to correspond. Later on, shoulder capes - Incroyable, Vandyke, Mother Hubbard, Quaker, any Carrack—will take the place of these wraps, Pelerines of every description are to be more in vogue than ever the coming season, CONNUBIALIIES, There is a rumor in England_ that the Princess Beatrice is to bo married to the Earl of Fife, whoisa handsome, clever and unusually agreeable young man.

Both were on band at theappoint- ed time and place, and the wedding was celebrated, One of the davghters of Meer Goolam Baba, Nawab of Surat, is about to be mar- ried at Surat. A correspondent of the Bombay Samachar writes from Surat that the procession which carrled the bride's dowry to the bridegroom's house is worthy of special mention, A number of ele- phante, horses, carringes and palkecs led procession, After them came a num- ber of female servants, all in_snow-white elothes, each bearing in her hands a coy- ered tray.
