Emerson,s Last Sitting.

From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat-
 The last time that Emerson ever sat for his picture was just before his mind gave way. He came into the gallery one day with some relatives, who assisted him with his wraps and in making ready for the photographer. It was very difficult that day to make picture of the great man that would suit the relatives who were with him. It wasn't because Elmer son was fussy or nervous: he was, in fact, a most delightful sitter, and on this occa- sion his courtesy was no less marked than at other times. But when he directed his gaze steadily at the object which the artist selected the features relaxed very peculiar ly, and the expression of the eyes and mouth was strongly irrational, if that word may be used in such a connection.
 The relatives, who were accustomed to his features and their expression, saw in the negatives what they couldn't see in the original of the picture. So they ordered that the negative be not developed, but de- stroyed And the visit was paid for, but no photographs were ever delivered. It was noticed that as Emerson left the gal lery that day his eyes were bent steadily on the floor and he smiled continually. Very soon after the story of his mental trouble was published, but this story of the last sitting no one ever heard.

NEW HAVEN CONN. TUESDAY MORNING. AUGUST H. 1891.

Press. A correspondent of that paper, evidently of the fair sex, recounts how she told the author that she would herself much prefer to have the lover eaten by the beast. Whereupon, she says, MT. Stock ton answered: "So would any woman who loved the man; that is, if I under stand a woman's nature correctly"
 The Russian railroad expert, M. Kotlu- bal, has just published an account of the mismanagemento of Russian railroads and of the abuses which naturally result. He states that, owing to the immense sala- ries paid to the higher officials, the remu- neration received by the actual working officials is so insufficient that they would be unable to live unless they supplement ed their wages by theft. Despite their salaries, these men are worked almost day and night, only five or six hours being left them to sleep and rest During the last Turko-R Russian war engineers and fire men were forced to sleep on their locomo- tives at odd moments, 50 inadequate was their number to the demands of the ser vice, and switchmen were compelled to be on duty twenty six, twenty-eight and thirty. hours in succession. Such inhu- man overtaxing of ths strength of men could result only in the most defective and perilously careless service, with more accidents and greater loss of life than any other country in the world.
 Now that people are finding out that all that gitters is not gold much good advice is offered. For instance, the Boston Ad- vertiser says: For half century our peo- pie have been famous for sending their money West and South to develop the country, perhaps to earn regular interest and not seldom to be total loss. They are beginning to arouse to the fact that the most substantial and enduring invest ments are those made right here at home. The present condition of affairs, when all our local interests are in excellent condi ton, while many other sections of the country are languishing, cannot he ignored aud must cause popular reaction in favor of keeping the earnings of our people at home. Some two years since syndicate was in Boston which secured a large amount of money on street railroad sys- tenn in Southern city. The prospects were apparently of the best. Thus far the money has yielded less than five per cent. At the same time the stock of the West End railroad of this city, whose manage
 Ja,1 sight of those who live here, is selling at rate which nets the investor about eight per cent.

ADFsEAsE OR vICEa

To what extent inebriety is disease is an interesting question. Confirmed drunk ards like to think that their drunkenness is disease, and those who make money by "curing" drunkenness have no doubt about it's status. And many others have more or less hay idea that drunkenness is sickness MT. Edwin Dudley comes out strong in the August Century in favor of this view: He regards the craving for strong drink in the light of disease, and does not think it humane to arrest men and give them over to punishment, with no discrimination in the kind of punish ment between the boy arrested for the first offense and the man who has, perhaps, served out hundred sentences. He be- lieves that certain class of inebristes have passed the line where inebriety is a vice or a crime, and have reached con He believes that it is in the line of hu- manity to afford these curative and reformatory treatments rather than pun ishment, the treatment to be graduated according to the nature of the case, and to be of nature to build up the will power For those who have been committed more than five times in three years he would have assigned quarters in reformatory where mental and moral influences can be brought to bear upon them. For those who are continually offending by drunk enness he would have continuous restraint | rather than the continual discharging and

TRUSTS AGAIN ASSAILED.

Monopolists, trusts, etc., have not fared we'll in the courts during the last year or two. The latest decision against the prin- ciple of them has been made by the Illinois court of appeals. The Chicago law sten- ographers formed an association and fixed certain prices for shorthand reporting and copying. Some members of the asso- citation offered to do some work at a price much lower than that of the association. They did not get the work, but those who did were obliged to do it at the low price. After the work was done they sued those under for the difference between the asso- cistion's price and the price paid. They got no satisfaction and were told by the court that any agreement which in it's ob- ject or necessary operation tends to di- minish competition as to anything the public have for sale, or it is necessary that the public should use, is void. Public policy requires that the public shall obtain the things neces- sary for it's use upon fair competition in free and open market, or under such rules and regulations as the public laws may prescribe. The services in this case were rendered for the public, and the public au- thorities have no right to pay larger sum than that for which they could get the work satisfactorily done. Any agreement depriving the county of it's right to secure the performance of this work from any one competent to do it was void, as op- posed to public policy. And the court further said: "We are of the opinion that the agreement set up in the declaration was contrary to public policy and there fore void. Parties who make such promises must depend upon the disposition of the promisors to keep the same; the law will not enforce such undertakings.''
 The courts of New York, Ohio, Pennsyl- vania, Louisiana, California and several other States have given similar opinions. The trusts, from which so much was feared, haven't prospered much yet. The law has dealt very severely with some of them.

The Fatal Accident on ye.u,ru..

The Naples correspondent of the London Standar sends an account. which he ob- tained in an interview with Signor Amer igo de Campos, the BririliAn council for Naples, of the fate of Doctor Silva Jardim, who perished in one of the clefts which suddenly opened in Vesuvius during his ascent of that mountain on the evening of the first of July. The consul says that he endeavored to dissuade Doctor Jardim and and his companion Cerneiro from making the porposed ascent, or at least to make it only by the funicular railway
 "On the first they left Naples for Pom peii. After long visit to the ruins the two friends took a late lunch at the Hotel Suisse, and then sat smoking cigarettes on the terrace, which commands a full view of Vesuvius. Come what may Silva eI- claimed all at once, T must go up there.'
 No, mo- Carneiro replied; you would not
 enjoy it, with this heat; besides, where can
 we find a guideP Silva would not be dis suaded, however. After some little trou-
 ble, succeeded in finding a non-ofacial
 guide, who declared that he knew Vesu-
 vius as he did his own house. Come on, Carneiro,' said Silva, looking for his hat.
 Remember replied the latter, to whom
 we instust our lives; this man is not an official guide.' 'Dio mic, what nonsensei
 come, let us start said Silva. So they
 went; Silva keeping always about twenty yards ahead of his companion.
 EtAs they approached the crater the climbing became very difficult Carneiro
 and the guide called frequently to Silva not to go too far without stopping for them. The only reply was, Look, look, Carneiro, | what flames and smokel Now I can under | stand how Pliny perished here. What sightP At a certain spot the speaker l turned and called to the guide to know if he could venture towards the mouth of | the crater in the direction he indicated. 'Eccellenza, yes; other foreigners nave | been there ;

 his friend advancing higher and felt the ground giving way suddenly under his | own feet. But Silva had already disap- peared. At the same moment Carneiro sank up to his waist in hollow more than | four metres wide and two or three deep. Fortunately, the guide was able to rescue
 him from his perilous position. Pale as
 death, and trembling from head to foot, the two gazed in terror at the dense vapor and smoke above them. And SilvaF Car

 'DeadF The guide threw up his hands in ! despair and remained silent. At length. pointing to hollow thirty yards distant,
 which had opened at the same instant as
 the one in which Carneiro had sunk, but which was much larger and more terrible.
 He fell in there,' he said. Like @ mad
 man, Carneiro rushed down the path he
 had ascended without needing the guide, whom he met afterwards at the base of the ] mountain.n

Hut His s"Knovledgeo Darkened His
 Mothers Life.
 She lived in a log cabin in the Tennessee mountains.
 She was gray, old, poor, religious-relig- ion was her sole comfort. She read her bi- ble and prayed continually.
 Her son Jim was out west.
 She exhibited the beggarly remittanees which he senther with trembling hands and sparkling, pride-full eyes.
 Jim came home to stay. Her cup of joy was full. On the afternoon of his arrival she was reading her bible and whispering prayers of thankfulness, writes W. N. Har- ben, in Short Stories.
 Jim approached her and spread his rough hand over the page she was reading. She regarded him with surprise. He told her that he had heard great men talk out west, and had learned that the bible was not true-was not the inspired word of God.
 Her face was as yellow as unbleached flax; wisp of faded hair fell down her cheek. She put up her toil-hardened hands to stop him, but he talked on eloquently. She said not a word when he had finished and left the cabin, but she rose and going to her bed in the corner of the room she knelt and tried in vain to pray.
 She stood in the cabin door in struggle; there was no sign of blood in her face. Jim was right, she supposed; she had ney- CT known him to be wrong; people had al- ways said he had keen mind.
 The next Sunday she did not go to meet ing; she stayed at home and tried to com prehend what Jim had to say about the mistakes of the bible. She trembled and felt cold in her breast as the singing from the meeting house stole over the hill and through the trees.
 She fell i'll. The shadow of death came into her face. Neighbors wiped their eyes at her door and gathered at her bedside. The preacher came.
 "Are you ready to go, sister," he asked
 'I don't know," she gasped, and cast an appealing glance at her son, who stood at the foot of the bed.
 sI've heerd lat the bible aint true"
 ''I use ter b'lieve, at when my time came I'd go off easy, but now its just awful awful"
 She tried to put out her hand toward Jim; essayed to speak, but death froze her unasked question on her face.
