of the city, including unpaid taxes, to
the payment Of their claims. The
court also appointed a receiver and
enjoined the tax commissioner from
interfering with the assets aad taxes,
and it even went so far Is to hold that
all private property in the district was
liable for the debts Of the defunct
municipality. The supreme court un-
does all this, and decides adversely to
the creditors on every point involved.
1t decides, first: That what is usually
regarded as assets Of q city-parks,
public building, wster-works, fire
engines and other similar property-is
not subject to execution to satisfy
judgments against the city for debt;
that they are public property of which
the city is only trustee, and cannot be
sold for the city's debts. Besides be-
ing public property, they are necessary
agents and adjuncts of gOvernment,and
for this reason, also, they cannot be
seized. Second, the court decides
that the property of individual citi-
Gems is not liable for the debts of the
city, except through regular taxation.
The local laws in some OF the New
England states impose this liability on
private property but the general law
Of this country does not. Third, the
court holds that taxation is a legisla-
tive, not a judicial function; the
power to assess, levy and collect taxes
comes only from the legislature, and
cannot be usurped by the courts ncI
be delegated by them to any officer
such as a receiver or marshal.

How Emerson Writes.

By describing how Emerson's es-
SAYS are made, says Bronson AlcOtt,
You VII understand them the better.
Like other great men he keeps a CON-
mon-place book or diary; be puts in
this whatever interests him at the
time without reference to further use;
if he sees a sentence that pleases him
while reading, he notes it; if be takes
a walk and secs anything that inter
ests him, or which suggests a thought
which he wishes to preserve, he puts
it down; If he is writing a letter and
he pens a sentence which arises nat.
urally, be puts that down; if he visits
a picture gallery, or wherever be goes,
be notes down all that he may wish to
remember. All these things which he
notes down have an intrinsic value, but
they need a setting; he does not let
any Of these sentences drop. How
hen to arrange and string together
these pearls? He employs no logic in
this; they are gems when he has SET
them. That is his art. He copies
them on paper and sees how they viii
come together. One jewel after an
other is examined until he finds one
which he thinks will do in a certain
place. After having arranged hi,
lecture, he goes on the platform and
dips IN at the fifth or sixth paragraph,
perhaps, according as he feels. lie is
apt TO begin 10 the middle or toward
the end the lecture, and 20 backward
as any way. After having tried his
lecture in this way four or FIVE times.
il is printed and goes before the public.
There is no ordinary conference in
his es,ays. Each paragraph is written
at a time, and is complete Ia itself.
Whatever he writes is finished and
good, but he considers every sentence
well before il Is put on paper. II is
slept upon, dreamt on, and they are
printed just as his audience have heard
them. A lawyer or a divine would
begiu with a beginning and proceed
according to logic, but be works by
analogy. In pictures, each paragraph
must be read carefully to get the value
Of it. You can'tread one of bis books
at a sitting and get any good out of it.
Each word almost must be pOndered
over. Emerson is now seventy seven
years Of age, but he seems to have all
his wits about him, except the loss OF
memory for proper nouns. That he
will write any more is not probable,
but be has written a great deal which
has not yet been published, and We
shall probably have as much new az
he has already printed. An intelli
gent editor has been engaged to pub
lish his writing after his death. EN-
erson's voice Is very charming, and nc
one can forget it who has once heard
him lecture.

DREADFUL DRINK.

Himself With whisky.


Chattanooga Times.l
Thomas Jones, the bartender at
Hughes saloon, under the old post
Office on Market street, near the cor
ner of King, being pressed with bust
ness yesterday, ordered his dinner
sent, and his mother prepared the
meal and sent it to him by one of her
small sons, and a small son of a Mr..
Mann, a resident of the Fifth ward.
When Mr.. Jones had concluded his
meal, he gave the little boys half a
gallon Of whisky to carry home. While
on their way, the boys conceived the
ieea of drinking the whisky they had
with them, and no sooner thought of
than they executed it, and drank the
entire contents Of the dinner pail.
Mann's son was so poisoned by the
drink thatbed died as soon as he reached
home. The other child was insensible
when he reached home, but was at
once put under vigorous treatment by
DR.. Hope, who succeeded in saving
his life
