Emerson and His New Lecture.
New Bedford Mercury


One evening, when Ralph Waldo
Emerson was engaged preparing his
new lecture, Mrs. Emerson, who had
that moment fattened her finger while
trying to drive nail with the smooth
ing iron, thrust her head into his study
and said:
See here, sir want you to drop
that everlasting pen of yours for min
ute or two at least, and go down to the
grocery and get Il mackerel for break
fast"
my DEAR" replied Mr.. Emerson,
looking up from his work, my dear,
can't you go? You see I'm billed in a
dozen places to deliver this lecture on
Memory, and it isn't half finished yet. .
"And that's what you call your infer.
nal lecture, is it," said Mrs. Emerson
sharply. "a nice party, you are, tC
deliver lecture on Memory"
"And why not, my lover said Mr.
Emerson, meekly.
you never go out of the house that
you don't forget to put on your hat OF
boots, and you never take letter OF
mine to mail that you don't carry it in
your pocket for six months or year,
unless | happen to find it sooner. Du-
ring the past thirty days you have car
ried ont of this house and forgot to
bring home no less than seventy-fve
or eighty umbrellas; and you know
yourself the last time you went to
church you took out your false teeth,
because, as you said, they hurt your
corns, and came away and left them in
the seat. l say you are nice man to
talk to cultured audience on Memo
ry,' and if you don't trot right off to the
grocery I'll expose you before you are
twenty-four hours Older"
Mr.. Emerson started on a jump for
the grocery, and when he got there he
couldn't for the life of him recollect
what he had come for

will not be the least remunerative de-
partment of the farm-yard when prop
erly cared for and fed. In the major

which means plenty of feed, care and
exercise. There is great difference
Of opinion in regard to fattening tur-

that she was asserting registered let
ter containing 1925 in greenbacks. The

left TO the book-keeper, Walter Bags,
and he told her that the greenbacks
were as good as gold He made an at

Kansas City Special to the Inter-ocsan.

halENtS Wy 81 NNiS4 '" Wv INV "N"NA'
A gentleman who is in the city to-day
relates the details of Il terrible murder
which occurred last Monday noon, near
New Santa Fe, Johnson county, Kan
sas. Near the above place reside
family named Curley, and one named
Wyatt. Monday noon old man Curley,
his son, son-in-law and daughter, all
got together and went to WAITS house,
a short distance away. They meant TO
have certain charges cleared up and
revenge. They went to WAITS house
and called for him three times. Wyatt
was reluctant TO answer the demand
for some time, but finally got his pistol
and made his appearance. Young
Curley at once started towards Wyatt
with drawn pistol. The latter fired
and started to run, when the other three
men followed him, firing. Pierced with
a ball or two, he fell, and the Curley
gang, running upon him, stood over
him and riddled his body with bullets.
The affair created great excitement
throughout the neighborhood, but.
strange to say, no arrest had been made
up to last night.

more money than good reputation ad-
yertised that he would give 5000 70
any respectable white woman who
would walk unveiled from the Adams
House entrance down Washington
! street with him at an hour when all the
| fashionables were promenading.
| For weeks that offer remained ua-
taken, for his reputation was such that
no respectable woman would be seen
with him and the advertisement read
mo others need apply" Finally this
woman who had just passed us agreed
to his terms and to join him at the APP
pointed place and time. When the
hour came, Mr.. -- was on hand.
Soon a carriage drove up with the lady.
1t had been noised about that the offer
had been taken up, and quite a crowd
had gathered 30 see HIM pay his So 600

and showed pair of hands as white as

5000 and she drove off, leaving him
to the laughter and boots ofthe amused
bystanders. 1t turned out afterwards
that she vas very poor, and that she

not cultivate for want of money, and
this is the way she overcame chat OBJ

five years, and returned one of our

woman who would do such Il thing with
