EMERSON ON BOSTON.

A posthumous paper on Boston by
Ralph Waldo Emerson appears in the
January Atlantic. As might be expected,
the most practical idealist that ever
breathed our American air has some
terse, temperate and suggestive things
to say about the Hub. One of his com
ments runs in this WISE
1--WE are often praised for what is
least ours. Boston, too, is sometimes
pushed into theatrical attitude of vir-
tue to which she is not entitled and
which she cannot keep. But the genius
of Boston is seen i'm her real independ-
ence, productive power and Northern
acuteness of mind, which is in nature
hostile to oppression. II is a good city
as cities go. Nature is good. The eli
mate is electric, good for wit and good
for character What public souls have
lived here. what social benefactors,
what eloquent preachers, skillful work
men, stout captains, wise merchants;
what fine artists, what gifted convers-
ers. what mathematicians, what law
yers. what Wits And where is the mid
de class so able, virtuous and in
structedg"

AN EARLY VISITOR.

a Burglar Entered the House of Charles
Pratzel, Austin Street.
Charles PratZel, a young German resid-
ing with lis family at 318 Austin street,
near Cough, awoke yesterday morning
about O'Clock and found a strange man
searching about his room for booty. After
waiting long enough to satisfy himself that
the man was a burglar, Pratzel struck
match and politely asked the stranger
whether he needed any assistance in max
ing his investigation.
The visitor replied by walking leisurely
out of the chamber and down the back
stairs to the street. Pratzel thought
that the man would go down
to the Police Station and. after
giving himself up. register for a
felony, so he did not attempt to detain him,
but after his caller had been gone some fif-
teen or twenty minutes il suddenly occurred
TO him that the stranger should have been
rewarded for not attempting his life, and so
careful search was instituted in vacant
lot opposite the house, but without any
startling results.
The burglar secured nothing further than
an offer OF assistance from his host. He
effected an entrance to the house by passing
through an o;en window at the head of the
back stairs. PratZel has had the window
spiked down, and hereafter will sleep with
brace Of pistols under his pillow.

JAKE RAUER IN TROUBLE.
He Is Charged with Defrauding Peter
Ii. Wynants,

He Is Charged with Defrauding Pe,er
b. Wynants.
Proceedings were instituted in the Supe-
rior Court yesterday against Jacob J. Rauer,
Samuel Newman and others by Peter p.
Wynants, who AYERS that Rauer fraudu-
lently obtained possession of his property
at the intersection OF Jackson and Buchanan
streets and transferred it to his friend, Sam
ue Newman. without consideration.
Wynants says that on June %. 1885, he
borrowed $500 from Rauer at / per cent
per month, and as security for the payment
of this amount gave him mortgage on his
property. Rauer, he says, agreed to retain
the rents and profits arising from the prop
erty toward the extinguishment of the debt,
and agreed when he had obtained the en-
tire amount to retransfer the property to
WyEants.
The plaintiff charges, however, that at
time when he was mentally weak and I'M
able TO attend to business, Rauer took ad-
vantage Of his condition and procured from
him and his wife deed OF the property,
which was subsequently transferred to
Newman.
In connection with this suit Samuel New
man makes the following statement: "Rauer
for some years has been doing business as q
broker, and at one time and another let him
have money until in October, 1890, he was
indebted to me in the sum of S7250, and
had talk with him on the subject He
told me that he would get security which
would secure me. He then told me of the
property at the corner of Jackson and Bu-
cbanan streets, and gave me warranty
deed, and at the came time gave him
defeasance. Since that time he has re-
turned sundry sums of money to me. and is
now Indebted to me in the sum of 5000.
The first knew of Mr.. Wynants in connec-
ton with the property was when his lawyer
called on me. l explained the matter. and
told him that so far as | was concerned there
need be no trouble about the matter, for
would make Rauer furnish other security.
The next l knew was the service of the
papers In this suit. The allegation that
Rauer made transfer to me without con-
stderation Is a little singular in view of the
fact that he gave me warranty deed to
secure me the loans, amounting in the az
gregate to S7250."
