CONCORD. Mass, April 2S.-Thc town of Concord
is in mourning for the loss of her ustr0us citizen
Mr. Emerson whose name and works have added so
much to her fame. Although the church bells fol-
lowing the old-timc custom, were tolled on the
night of his death, comparatively few persons heard
the sad news until this morning. To-day there are
evidences of mourning on every hand. The funeral
will occur Sunday afternoon and special train
will carry people from Boston and way stations who
wish to attend the services. The Concord Unitarian
Church has no settled pastor at present and the Rev.
Dr. W. H. Furness, of Philadelphia, will pronounce
the eulogy. Mr.. Furness was schoolmate of Slr
Emerson at the Boston Latin School, and has been
on terms of intimacy with him during his later
years. The Rev Mr.. Brown, of BrOokllne. a
Unitarian clergyman who has supplied the Concord
pulpit few times during the past year, will, 1t Is
expected also be present. Mr.. Emerson attended
the Concord Unitarian Church more regularly
last year than previously. Mr.. Emerson, it is
stated gave no explicit directions about his
funeral No display will be made in the line OF the
funeral procession and it is the intention OF the
mourners to walk from the house to the church, and
then to Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, where the remains
will be Inferred in the family lot beside the bodies
of Mr. EmersOns first wife, his son and brother.
Owing TO the feeble health of Mrs Emerson il is
Thought that she NAV ride to the cemetery which is
about one-quarter of mile from the church. The
pall-bearers will probably be selected from among
the near relatives.
The Summer School of Philosophy at Concord
will devote day of its session IN the present sea
SON probably July %, TO discussion of the charac~
ter of Mr. Emerson. The Social Circle, the Oldest
club In Concord, which recently celebrated its CEN
tennial anniversary, and of which Mr. Emerson was
the oldest member having belonged to it for over
forty years, will undoubtedly take appropriate ac-
ton on his death at its next meeting. he remains
have been partially embalmed. The countenance
looked very natural to-day, retaining that same
peaceful and calm appearance which it had at the
time of his death. Among the cal lers at the house
to-day were A. Bronson Alcott and the Rev. Dr.
BartOl.

IRISH AFFAIRS.

LONDON, April 2S.-ln the House of Commons to-
day, Joseph COwen asked whether the imprisoned
members of Parliament who had been arrested be-
cause they obstructed the Land act would now DO
released, as Mr.. Gladstone had approved the bill
drafted by Mr. Parnel Mr.. Gladstone said that
Mr. Forster would soon fully enter into the subject
as the question could not be answered in the scope
of a simple reply to a question.
The preliminary report of the Lords Committee
on the Land Act takes exception to the manner in
which the decision Of the sub-commissioners in
regard to the fair rent are given. The report de-
cares that the purchase clauses of the Land act are
failure. 1t specially recommends that purchase
money be advanced by the State at per cent in
terest repayment to be made by instalnents of y
per cent for sixty-siX years, or OF per cent Tor
foTty-six years. that the cost of the scheme be de-
frayed by the Church Surplus fund that special
department be created to carry out The scheme, ana
that all arrears accrued before 1878 be cancelled
and those accrued since be capitalized and added TO
the purchase money.
II is believed that in the event of the release OF
the Irish members of Parliament confined IN hil-
mainham Jail, the No Rent" manifesto will be
Withdrawn.
