How Women are Treated in Guatemala.

correspondence New York Times.
When Barrios came into power, one of
his first acts was to drive the priests out
of Guatemala. In his opinion they were
drones in the community and made
droncs, so he would not have them about.
But the women, who there as every
where else, have most use for religion,
made great outCry about the expulsion
of their priests. There were a dozen wo-
men, recognized leaders of society in
Guatemala, wealthy and prominent, who
were especially loud in their lamentations
and vitupcrations. They would have
stirred up an insurrection against Barrios
if they could, on account of their priests
He stood their attacks until his patience
gave way. At first he simply shrugged
his shoulders; then he knit his brows
Finally he said, "This thing must be
stopped He had twelve single-armed
high gallows erected in a line on the
plaza. From the end Of each arm he had
suspended a broad, shallow basket with
Il short rope fashioned to the bottom like
a handle. Then he had those twelve
women brought to the baskets, placed
in them, and hoisted into the air.
As you may imagine, such a spectacle
in the plaza attracted everybody. All
the city came hocking TO see the ladies
elevated into such undesirable promin-
once. Aud fancy, if you can, the wild,
unbounded joy of the hundreds of street
boys when free admission was given them
to swing those baskets by the short ropes
attached to them. The little ragamullins
yelled with delight, fought with each
other to get at the ropes and eXerted
themselves with frenzy to see who could
toss basket highest. The women, stand
ing in the baskets and Clutchng the
ropes by which they were suspended,
shouted wildly, with new accessions of
terror each time freshand vigorous hands
gave a livelier impulse to their wicker
chariots or sent them fyingin new direc-
tions. The assembled multitude roared
with laughter and encouraged the bows.
When at length President Barrios deem
ed that their punishment was sufficient,
he gave a signal, the swinging of the
baskets was stopped they were lowered
and the exhausted, humliated ladies
We're sent in carriages TO their respective
homes. The lesson had never to be re-
peatcd, for they sought no more to med

selves thereafter their private opinions

Cannnot science Penetrate the Myster,e
NoM YoIk Ledger.

Thatterrible scourge, diphtheria, races,
the present season, with all its accustom-
cd horrors. 1t really seems strange that
all the scientific investigation expended
up the subject fails to discover the mys-
tcrious causes of this Obstructive disease.
Recent accounts represent it as prevail
ing 10 an almost unparalleled extent in n
section of country at the West which has
been uncommonly well drained, and
where unusual attention had been given
TO measures designed to promote health.
And in this instance the disease, which
is generally confined mostly to young
persons, attacks both old and young, and
good livers and poor livcrs.
1t is to be hoped that the secrets of its
origin and the proper means to guard
against it will both sometime be found
out but at present it remains one of the
most dreaded of all destroyers.

How Emerson Writes.

a, Is, AleOtls Lecture.
BY describing how Emerson's ESSAYS
are made You will understand thems the
better. Like other great men he keeps
a commonplace book or dairy; he puts
in this whatever interests him at the
time without reference to further use; if
he sees sentence that plcases him
while reading he notes it down; if he
takes a walk and sees anything that in
terests 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 naturally,
he puts that down; if he visits a picture
gallery, or wherever he goes, he 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 SEN
tenccs drop. How then to arrange and
string together these pearls? He cm-
ploys 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 will come together One jewel after
another is examined until he finds one
which he thinks will do in a certain
place. After having arranged his Lee ture
he goes on the platform and dips in at
the fifth or sixth paragraph perhaps ac-
cording as he feels. lie is apt to begin
in the middle or toward the end of his
lecture, as he has arranged it beforehand,
and 90 backward, as any way. After
having tried his lecture in this way four
or five times, it is printed and goes be-
fore the public.
There is no ordinary cohercnce in his
essays, Each paragraph is written at a
time, and is complete in itself What
ever he writes is finished and good, but
he considers every sentence well before
it is put on paper it is slept upon, dreamt
on, and they are printed just as his au-
dience have heard them. A lawyer or a
divine would begin with a beginning and
proceed according to logic, but he works
by analogy. In pictures each paragraph
must be read carefully TO get the value of
it. You can't read one of his books at
a sitting and get any good out of it. Each
word almost must be pondered over
Emerson is now II years Of age, but ke
seems to have all his wits about him, ex-
cept the loss of memory fOrpropcr nouns
That he will write any more is not
probable, but he has written great deal
which has not yet been Published. and
we shall probably have as much new as
he already printed. An intelligent edi-
tor has been engaged TO publish his
writings after his death. Emerson's
voice is very charming, and no one can
forget it who has once heard him lee
ture.

A Mirage on the Virginia Court.
Norfolk Nirpinian.

Noriolk Nltglnlan.
In Watchapreague Inlet, off the coun-
ty of Accomac, on the morning of No
vember |, about twenty fishing boats
were riding at anchor. The sun rose
behind thick fog bank. Presently the
fog grew thinner, until few pale rays
shot up above. All the crews were busy
at their lines. when shout from one of
the boats was heard. A grand trans
formation scene had occurred in a single
minute. Apparently not quarter of a
mile away lay the island of Chinco-
league, its tall white tower, its dwellings,
its trees and shrubbery, and little boy
driving a flock of sheep along the shore,
and even little girl sitting in the door
of the light-keeper's house with doll in
her arms. In another minute another
fog bank rose up between them and the
shore, shutting ont from their vision their
own homes. Imagining that by some un-
accountable and mysterious influence
they had been transported a distance OF
thirty miles from where they actually
were, they broke anchorage in the great
est CONSERVATION, many of them in their
fright steering directly ont to sea. An
hour afterward the mist vanished and the
sun shone out. The mirage had disap-
peared but there was no more fishing
