Emerson's Personal Appearance.

His personal humility was as great as
his personal dignity. He entertained
all men with the same quiet geniality of
department; and his attitude toward
even the most ignorant or juvenile of his
fellow-creatures was uniformly that of
one who seeks edification rather than to
edify. He knew how to ask the right
and searching question, and how to ex-
tract from the clumsy or incomplete
answer the core of significance that
made it valuable. Thus he increased
the self-respect of those with whom he
conversed, while never for a moment
stimulating their selfish vanity, making
them feel their worth as men without
exaggerating their Importance as indi-
viduals. Yet few men can have had
more noticeable peculiarities of face,
figure and demeanor than Emerson.
Who that had once seen him could for
get his appearanceP Who ever spoke in
his melodious, measured tonesp or
whose smile so we'll expressed the self
command that does not deal in laugh
ter? Yet he was distinct with distinct
iyeness that arose not from unlikeness
to his fellows, but precisely from the
concentration in him of their more sig
nificant and controlling traits. There
was something of the eagle in his aspect,
and a physical awkwardness that some
how expressed the highest degree of in
grained culture and refinement. His
ordinary gait in walking was that of a
man whose attention is so earnestly fixed
upon something on the horizon that his
body is conveyed forward rather by at
traction than volition. 1t was progress
sion in its simplest form, steady and
uniform, but without the least embel-
lishment of grace or elegance; and yet
there was in it something indicative of
the nature of the man, that made mere
grace and elegance seem semi-civilized.
In his lectures he stood before his audi
ence in the uhstudied pose of a New
England farmer.
He had no gestures; sufficient for
him were the modulations of the voice,
and the occasional lifting of the head
and Frightening of the visage. Never
theless, few speakers comprehended the
art aud even the articles of oratory
better than he. Every word that passed
his lips was so uttered and presented IS
to acquire its fullest force and meaning
and no one else could have delivered his
lectures so effectively and captivatingly
as he. The hand that he gave you in
greeting was large and firm; it held
yours for few moments in warm and
Steady clasp. There was no vigorous
and impulsive Misunderstanding, but the
light of composed cordially that ema-
mated from his features made the more
demonstrative forms of greeting seem
vulgar and inexpensive. 1t is unneces-
sary to extend these details; they
amount to saying that intercourse with
Emerson tended to make you realize
the practical superiority of the spiritual
over the physical part of man. The
lesson is no unimportant one, especially
in these days when we are gagged and
crippled with symbols the meaning OF
which we have forgotten, and which we
consequently misapply and misinter-

FOREIGN GOSSIP.

Venice and Amsterdam are the
cities of bridges. The first has $50, the
last 800. London has Is, Vienna 20, and
Berlin will soon have so. Altogether
the most beautiful and striking bridge
in Europe is that over the Moldau at
Prague.
1t is found that the mind of Under

he was tired of prisons in France, and
wished to end his days in New Caledo-

They pulled down chimney at the
ROYAL Mint, in Berlin, the other day,
and it occurred to the architect that it
might be worth while to analyze the SCOT

result was that they found four pounds
of pure gold, worth thousand dollars.
The recent solar eclipse calls to
mind an incident of Francois Arago,
who gained among his simple country
neighbors an almost uncanny reputa-
ton by his accurate prediction of a total
eclipse. Not long afterwarG he was a
candidate for election to the National
Assembly, and was elected by an al
most unanimous vote of his constituents.
The wealth and government influence
of the rival candidate created no impress
sion upon the voters. ssNo, no." they
cried; "we must vote for Arago, for, if
we don't, he may get mad and hurl an
other eclipse at us!''
