RALPH WALDO EMERSON, "the sage OF Con
cord" died quietly at his home on Thursday
evening at minutes before O'Clock. He
was over ~ years of age and had been failing
in bodily vigor for some time though still In
comparative good health until he attended the
funeral Of the poet Longfellow, at which he
mia, under which he sank rapidly. In his last
hours delirium took possession Of his brain,
and he fancied he was far away from home.
At sunset he went into an unconscious condi-
tlon which was speedily followed by death.
The interment will take place in Sleepy Hol-
low cemetery. He was, IN many respects, one
of the few really great minds this century has
yet produced

WATER POWER BONDS.

A Washington dispatch, giving the list of
recent decisions of the Supreme Court of the
United States, includes the following:
2,04S-The City of Ottawa, plf. in error,
VS.. the First National Bank Of Portsmouth,
N. ii. In error to the Circuit Court of the
United States, for the Northern District OF Hi
nois. Judgment affirmed with costs and in
terest. Opinion by Justice Harlan.
There were sixty Of those bonds, Of $1,000
each, issued in about 1870 ,forty.seven of which,
VIC believe, are involved in the Carey suit, the
other thirteen having fallen into the hands OF
other parties. OF these thirteen, the city has
heretofore, pursuant to judgments of L. s
courts, paid principal and interest of ten, leav
ing three In the possession of this Portsmouth
bank which now also obtains judgment
against the city They are understood to in
volve about $4,000, which of course the city
Will pay.
The city, in defending against the payment
of these thirteen bonds, put in as its main
pleas want of consideration and absence Of
power on the part of the city to issue them
and Judge Harlan, In deciding the case against
the city, held that such a defense could moi
avail against innocent holders. The defense
IN the Carey case Is somewhat different. There
it Is maintained that the purchaser Of thu
bonds had full notice of the lack of power or
the part of the city to issue them and was full
ly informed OF all the circumstances IN theil
connection. Whether the defense will avail
however, remains to be seen. The final de
cision, we understand is expected to be mad
at Washington in very few weeks.

John w. Will, q six-foot.two Ohio granger,
just returned from Leadvile, with $3.50 in his
pocket and duly impressed, from newspaper
reports and otherwise, that Chicago was main,
ly inhabited by cowboys, while sauntering
along Randolph street near La Sale was run
against by an inebrlated loafer named Thomas
Kelly, who, as Will pushed him aside, said,
VI can lick you, you -" Will at once
whipped out his revolver and put bullet
through his brain, on which the man fell dead
and VIII quietly walked away. A mob soon
got after him, crying Lynch him." &C., bu,
he kept them at bay by flourishing his pistol
Finally he was overpewered by the police and
conveyed to the lookup. Will, in extenuation
could only say: well, they told me that peo
pie would cut your throat here If you had {
dollar, and thought 1t was one of them fel
lers that tackled me. had $3.50 IN my pocket
and 1t looked as if he struck me for it, so

BLAINE,

Mr.. Blaine took the witness stand on Mon
day at Washington before the Peru. Chill In

since then The privilege was sought by him.
to give him an opportunity TO "vlndicate''
himself from aspersions that Shlpherd and
other witnesses had cast upon him in the
course of the investigation as tar as it had pro.
crossed. VI course a man Of Mr.. Blaine's
altitude and pretensions could not be confined
to the ordinary rules governing judicial in.
vestigatlons but rather accepted the questions
put to him as suggestions of topics upon
which to speak, and proceeded upon each, in
the most lawless and free.and-easy way, to
make his little precOncerted Grafton. AS to
Shipherd, he simply stamped his foot on him
as an unconscionable liar, with whom false.
hood was an employment ana perjury pas
time;" and suggested that the only thing to
be done was to pass him over to the grand ju.
ry. AS to his diplomacy IN regard to Peru
and Chill generally, he had been strangely
misconceived or brutally misconstrued
throughout. He had known from the begin
ming that the war of Chill on Peru was of
English concoction, the object being to get
possession of the Peruvian guano and nitrate
beds, and his whole aim had been to cIrcum-
vent that plot, in which he would have sue.
ceeded but for the complete change Of pro-
gramme that took place with the accession of
Mr.. Frellnghuysen to the state department.
Whon NJ pa1p,opt ho Aar, rot On, tho m
mittee, to whom the examination of Mr.. Blaine
was assigned, undertook to confine his answers
to the questions asked, he became SO insulting,
overbearIng and brutal, that Mr.. Belmont ask
cd the interference of the other members.
which not being accorded, he announced his
intention to withdraw from the committee.
1t is admitted on all sides that Mr.. Blame has
gained no honor in the affair, that he has fail
ed to "vindicate" his doublefaced and bung-
ling diplomacy, and that he has immensely
lowered the respect in which he was held by
his boorish insolence and brutality towards
Mr.. Belmont.
The strong point, at least,agalnst Mr.. Blame,
in the Peru.Chilian matter, referring to his
double-dealing IN sending open instructions
to Hurlbut and Fitzpatrick of one tenor, and
IN personal talks" giving them altogether
different instructions, remains thus far wholly
uncleared up and untouched IN his bombastic
four days stump speech. This point Is one
on,which the proof against Mr.. Blaine Is alto
gether overwhelming and on which he must
ultimately and inevitably be crushed

"WuIsKY DEMoCRATs."-Bec the demo
Gratis are opposed to sHmptuary laws and the
wild, impractlcable schemes of the temperance
fanatics and zealots, 1t has become fashionable
among the latter to call the democrats the
"whisky party and some very honest people
really believe that as aparty the democrats are
more given to whisky drinking than their re-
publican opponents. To dispel this injurious
delusion, the Springfield State Register has
taken the paine to compile from the tables of
the last census a statement OF the comparative
number of whisky dealers IN the states that
voted for Hancock last year and those that
voted for Garfield, and the showing is that IN
the states that voted for Garfield there is one
saloon to every 2G0 people, while in the states
that voted for Hancock there is only one saloon
for every 4s0 people. Even sainted Iowa has
a larger number of saloons in proportion to
population than wicked Texas, and temperate
Massachusetts, doubles the proportion of God
forsaken Arkansas "Whisky democrats, for
soothl" exclaims the Register with just indig
nation in conclusion: The lie should blister
the tongue that utters it,"

Though the body of Jesse James lies moul

At least 1t seems to have entered the clayey
tenements OF a gang Of rufflans near Ranger
Station, in Texas, on the 2lst inst. They
sprang upon q passing train, seized the Off

his treasure. Meantime colored porter had
warned three Texas Rangers in a passenger

place, the express car being riddled with bull
lets. The robbers did not have time to rob
the passengers or rifle the mails They retired

in the greed of the republicans to gobble two.

will probably be consumed before 1t can be
