Harvard College, 1866, and has pursued the
profession Of medicine. His daughter Ellen
is unmarried; Edith 10 the wife Of William H.
Forbes of Milton.
In his college days Emerson was noted for
the constant use he made of the library. and
he treasured up what he gained thus. as well
as the results of his thinking, in note books
and journals; and these were the materials
for his essays. 1t was Concord theory that
the finest writing must be grown in the
orchards of journals. The style Of his writ
ings is in harmony with his thought. 1t is
condensed almost to abruptness. occasional
ly compressed at the expense Of clearness,
and his merit lay rather in choice of words
than in the connection of sentences. Indeed,
Joseph Cook tells US that he once found
Emerson shutting over slips from one of his
journals, in order to determine in that chance
WY the order Of sentences in a forthcoming
essay. The great characteristic of his works
is his perception of beauty, and all his
thoughts and style are controlled by that
sentiment.
In religion, he once defined himself as a
Christian tbeist, theism being the doctrine
concerning God, differing from pantheism by
the relation which it affirms between God and
the world Of things; and from deism by the
relation which it acknowledges between God
and man. The pantbeIst asserts that God and
the world are one; while the theist believes
that personal God, the Creator of the world.
is independent of it.

THE STAR ROUTE CASES.
lngersoll's Objections Overruled by the
Court Testimony of Woodward.

WAsHINGToN, April %.
In the Rerdell star route case, today.
Woodward testified to several cases of ex-
penditing routes by Brady for Dorsey. Sew
eral objections by Ingersoll were overruled
by the court.
Woodward read circular, sent out by
Brady, with the initials wv. ii. T." (Wm.
III. Turner,) upon one corner directing the
postmasters along a certain route to fill up
blanks enclosed which provided for an in
crease of the service from two trips to three
trips per week and see they were within fifty
hours. The circular bore upon the back the
reply from the postmasters approving the in
creased number of trips. but protesting
against the expedition to fifty hours, because
it was immaterial and impracticable. The
letter from Dorsey to Brady, in Rerdelrs
handwriting. was also read concerning the
increase of service on the same route. Anoth-
er letter endorses the petitions filed with the
department for increased service, saying the
service is necessary to his (Dorseys) per-
sonal know ledge. Another letter from Dor
sey to Brady was read, in which the prosecu-
ton claimed they would show that Dorsey
knew the petitions were being prepared in
advance of their reception at the department
In answer to Ingersoll, Woodward said,
there were many petitions aud papers of sim
liar nature endorsed by other senators and
members than Dorsey. No suspicion of
fraud was entertained in these cases.
Ingersoll read a petition upon which the
increase on the route, mentioned in Brady g
circular, was based. 1t had over 150 sign
ers, beginning with the surveyor general of
the territories and embracing the names of
civil and military officers and prominent cit
liens. He also read letters from Senator
Chatfee and other prominent persons urging
spon Gen. Brady an increase on this route.
lngersoll said to be CONSTANT they should
all be indicted for conspiracy. 1t was redi-
culous to suppose these names forgeries. He
asked Merrick TO point out even one of the
names he knew to be a forgery. Merrick re-
piled he could not himself, but would have
witnesses here who would prove these names
fictitious or forgeries. Ingersoll again re-
sumed the cross-examination of Edwards, in
its course going over the detail of all letters
and papers presented in his direct examina-
ton. Thursday next was fixed for the re-
sumption of the case and the court adjourned.

The execution of DIR. Lamson took place
at nine O'Clock in the Jail at Wadswortn.
| Onlv three reporters were present az the
hanging. The procession entered the yard
of the prison at :55, when the prison oeii
was tolling the death knell. The chaplain
| headed the procession. The prisoner, who,
until the time Of execution had been calm
and composed, looked awfully pale and de-
| iected. and was very nervous. He was sup
norted by warders on either side, and was
With difficulty able to descend the steps OF
the ward. He was met bv Marwood. the ex-
ecutioner, at the foot of the steps. The op-
Grafton of pinioning him seemed iufermin-
able.
He hardly seemed to appreciate what was
going on. From the slip there were sixty
Yards to traverse to the gallows. Lamson
was supported with difficulty from this point
to the scaffold. He stepped backwards and
forwards and stared wildly around him.
When placed under the moose, the chaplain,
who appeared much affected, then began to
read portion of the burial service. Lam
son meanwhile was supported by two Jailers,
and his legs were strapped. just before the
cap was adjusted, he cast down his eyes with
look of extreme despair.
When the drop fell, death was instantaneous.

manned, repeating the Lords prayer. The
body remained hanging one hour. The usual
formal inquest will be held this afternoon.

M1NNEAPoLIs, April 2S.
Frank McManus, aged 26, claiming to hail
from Boston, coaxed the four year old daugh-
ter of Jason P. Spear into the suburbs
where he outraged and horribly mutilated her
so that she will probably die. He had been
here about a month. There are threats of
lynching, but the prison is under the protec-
ton of a strong force ofpolice-
LArER-This morning the Minneapolis
prisoner was taken from the Jail by a mob of
sixty men, and after being marched to the
house of the victims mother and identified,
was hanged to a large oak tree. The man
before death said his name was Tim Crowley
and his mother lived in Boston. This was
the fist lynching in the history of Mime
apolis.
BOsToN, April 2s.
A thorough investigation in South Boston
leaves little donbt that Frank McManus was
the real meme of the man iynched in Mime
apolis, today, for the outrageous assault upon
the little girl. He was one of the three
brothers who formerly lived there, and his
description tallies exactly with that of the
Minneapolis man. He left Boston five years
ago and had previously borne a generally
good character. His friends are not positive,
however, as to the identity of the deceased.

controversy between Blaine and himself. yes-
terday, he says: Having been surprised
into making reply in the presence of the
committee of the character such as seems to
be my deliberate judgment, would have been

proper and which expresses my opinion per-
feetly. Nothing further in the nature of

Little Belmont.

Mr.. Blaine stated the exact truth when
he said before the committee OF investiga-
ton that Belmont had been sent there to in
suit him. This callow congressman, whose
questions were prepared for him, and
whose ignorance and incapacity were fit
subject for the laughter Of the crowd.
represents the calihre of the party pursu-
ing Mr.. Blaine. Having nobody of sense
or knowledge that desired to question the
ex-Sec'y, they put Belmont forward to make
the examination as offensive to Mr.. Blaine
as possible. Belmont is described as fol-
lows: "His face runs somewhat to point,
and from protruding upper lip there
stands out stiff moustache, giving as a
whole an expression Of habitual pertness,
not to say impertinence, for which he
is perhaps not responsible. 1t served.

of his manner, for which he was response
BILE. To see this young man. who only
by the grace Of large bank account has
been made a member Of Congress, who
has had no public experience, and who.

In his chair with his head thrown back,
and trying to bully and browbeat man
who has been twenty years in the front Of
public life, and who is probably the most
popular man Of either party in America
to-day, was spectacle that was some
times ludicrous and sometimes unpleasant.
Mr.. Blaine was not guilty of any ex-
aggeration when he intimated that Mr..
Belmont was conducting the examination
as If 1t were in a police court.
Mr.. Belmont seemed to have some igno-
q member Of the committee. to cut off Mr..
Blaine's answers in the middle, and try
TO bully him as lawyers sometimes bully
witnesses into giving categorical answers.
His manner in doing this was so ill-bred
and disrespectful at times that the specta-
tors exchanged looks of surprise. and at
one point Mr.. Blaine was himself irrita.ed
into temporary loss Of equanimity. 1t
Is In the power of any man to make him.
self offensive to gentleman and that
feat. il Mr.. Belmont considers it such, was
achieved by him to-day"
The investigation has shown how false
and malicious have been the statements
made against Mr.. Blaine in connection
with his South American diplomacy The
"dirty democratic papers" will neverthe-
less continue their abuse and SANDER all |
the same, but their champion Belmont cuts |
so ridiculous figure that they will have
great difficulty in drawing attention to the
matter again without having their efforts
overwhelmed in roars of laughter.
