Thoreau, with an introdu ction and
notes by F.B. Sanborn. The few letters
from Thoreau's pen, published previous
to the appearance of the present volume,
were very few and consisted of selections
likely to emphasize the more formal
side of the mans character. With a
view to demonstrating the domestic
and affectionate part of Thoreau's nature
it's elements of tenderness, whimsicality
and humor, his friend Mr.. Sanborn--es-
pecially well fitted for the task-has col
lected and published this memoir in the
form of correspondence. Here are letters
and notes to Thoreau's mother, father,
sister and brother. to the Emersons, Mr..
Lane, Mr.. Cabot and Mr.. Blake and other
relatives and friends, beginning with an
epistle in the American Indian dialect,
"Thatawan, Sachimanssan, to his broth
er sachem, Hopeful of Hopewell hoping
that he is well" (and so on with, in this
case, aboriginal Ingenuity through
AIRED correspondence, ending with
his last effort, dictated to his sister and
addressed to a personally unknown cor
respondent, Myron B. Benton of New
York State, thanking him for his eager
devotion to the writer's publications,
which he had enthusiastically expressed.

possible for Tammany to make some

In Diminishing the writ of habeas COR
pus in the case of Howard, the under
coaehinan of the Hon. Levi P. Morton,
Judge Lacombe said that it was entirely
clear that Howard was employed as a
personal or domestic servant, class
that is exempt under the alien contract
law, but he added that he could not dis
charge him because the law placed the
determination of the question whether
or not the Immigrant is prohibited
person entirely in the hands of The Sec
rotary of the Treasury, and the courts
could not interfere.
According to Judge I4acomhe, then,
the Secretary of the Treasury is a
despot SO far as this law is concerned, and
may deport any immigrant he sees fit,
without any right Of appeal on the part
of the latter to the courts. If this is a
correct construction of the law, it is safe
TO say that Congress passed very itfer-
ent law from what it intended. There
Is Que good thing, however, abont Judge
Laeona BEES decision. 1t places the en-
tire respqnsi bility for the silly and ma
liclous prosecution of Howard upon Mr..
Carlisle and leaves him no hole to
crawl out of. He must so ahead and de-
port Howard right in the face and ewes
CT the fact that federal Judge has de-
clared that Howard obviously does
not come within the law, or he must
back down and thus confess that he be-
gan the prosecution without studying
the law-for the veriest tyro could see BY
glance at the statute that Howard was
exempt-and that will be tantamount to
an admission that he ordered the pros
ecution simply as a scheme to catch the
labor vote of New York for Hill. 1t is a
great misfortune for Carlisle's fame
that he was ever Secretary of the Treas-
ury. Before he took that office he en-.
joyed the reputation of having some
claims to statesmi nship. His career in
the treasury has completely destroyed
it.

hour, the locomotive side rod connecting
the two driving wheels on the engineers
side broke. and instantly one of the pieces
came crashing through the cab Luckily
II was short, or Engineer Morse would
have been killed outright. He and the

back over the tender before they could do
anything to stop the train.
The steam cnvciopcd the whole train,
and the train hands, knowing something
was wrong, set the air brakes, bringing
the train to a standstin within quarter

allow the steam to escape. The cab was
badly smashed. n fast freight was tagged
