old tOAiay. Ills readers, both in England and
America, will regard with satisfaction Il lifc so
prolonged, since it has been so full of goodness and
wisdom Some time since he ceased TO write. or at
least to publish, but upon or two recent occa-
sions Of public interest he has been drawn from his
retirement, and has gTatifed audiences by his
presence and his speech. Fory-fve years have
elapsed since Mr.. Emerson gave US the little thin
rcd-covcrud volume entitled Mature" There are
those who can still remember how 1t was received
with hesitancy by tho many, with satisfaction by
the few; and how 1t clearly appeared that such a
writer must create his own constituency. How
successfully and satisfactorily this has been accom-

The extraordinary scene enacted at one of
ahe elevated railway stations is as much of a
miracle as a mystery. That a young woman
should have thrown herself headlong in front Of
q train and have passed under the wheels without
receiving fatal injuries seems well-nigh incredi-
ble. At the same time, the causes assigned for
this desperate act offer only partial explana-
ton, while the sudden disappearance of the
iady's companion deepens the mystery.

A Mixed. Case.

Gabriel Winter of Flushing, L. l.,
after duly executing his will fifty-one
years ago, carefully pasted it between the
cover and flyleaf Of a copy of the Revised
Statutes, informing no one of the fact,
so that on his death, thirty. odd years later,
the most vigorous search failed to discover
it. Meanwhile his wife, believing he had
made will leaving her sole owner of the
property, which was valued at more than
quarter of a million dollars, devised it at
her death in way to suit herself. But
as the husbands will had not been found,
hers proved worthless, and administrators
proceeded to distribute the property among
the heis-at-law and now. after these
parties and purchasers from them have
held their possessions for nearly twenty
years, a son-in-law casually looking over
the books in the library discovers the long
lost will. The effect of this on the present
holders of the devised property we leave
for the lawyers to decide, congratulating
them on the fine foraging- ground it offers
them.

A Scared Dutchman.

A despatch from Muscatine, Iowa gives
particulars of the trouble experienced by
a fugitive from constable's posse in Gosh
on township week ago Saturday night.
About midnight on that night Constable
Stafford and five others went to the house
of Daniel Foss, newly-arrived German,
to search for stolen goods which Foss was
charged with having received. Foss, who
does not understand word of English,
became terrified on the approach of the
posse armed with guns and ran out in the
snow barefooted and clad only in pants
and drawers. He started on the snow
across the prairie aud the posse followed,
firing three shots at the fugitive. He was
chased mile or more until he reached
Cedar River. After running along the
bank FOR short distance he plunged in
and swan across. His pursuers, thinking
he had been swept under the ice, abandon
ed the chase and went home. On Monday
morning Foss was found clinging to a
wire fence, up to his knees in ice and wa
ter. A warrant has been sworn out against
the officers for assault with intent to kill.
The citizens of the vicinity are greatly
incensed, and determined to punish the
officers for their inhuman treatment OF
Foss.

Secrets Of an old Trunk.

The Port Jervls (N.Y) Union says
This town has just had sensation of an
unusual nature, caused by the finding of
a fortune in an old trunk recently by Mr..
George e. Waters, o we'll known business
man, of the firm of Waters & Cole, pro-
vision merchants. Mr.. Waters went to the
garret of his residence to get some bed
clothing which had been stored away in an
old trunk, and in order to get them out
quickly, kicked the trunk over, wheni a
false bottom fell out, revealing some pa
pers. Examination proved these papers to
be New York bankers securities for
$4,000 worth of government bonds which
had been placed in his hands several years
ago Mr.. Waters also found title deeds
to an old homestead property formerly
belonging to his mother, located at Kings
ton. No sooner had he found the valua-
BILE papers than he started for New York,
where he found the bonds safe. With ac-
cumulated interest, the bonds are now
worth $12,9G3 Mr.. Waters is young
man and was worth $4,000 before he
made this lucky find. The trunk in which
these securities were concealed belonged
to Mr.. Walters father, who went to Cal
ifornia when tho gold fever first broke out
and came home with a fortune in gold dust
in this trunk. Mr.. Waters, ST., has been
dead over six years, and it is believed that
he put the papers in the false bottom OF
the trunk and forgot about them, as he
did not refer to their existence in any OF
his papers.
