EMERSON AS A MAN

In a series OF papers titled Emerson
Sixty Years After" now appearing in an
Eastern monthly, the transcendental phil
osopheris is tried and found wanting where
ordinary human reIa ationships are concerned
He suspected the institution OF marriage
and could hardly speak OF it without some
kind OF cavea5 or precaution." In his theory
of the relation between the sexes there is
neither good sense, nor manly feeling, nor
sound philosophy; it is a pure pledge of
dogmatism and reminds us that he was bred
to the priesthood"
In Emerson's sincapacityto deal with Mar
garet Fuller there is something al once pa
thetic and cruel. On October "a, 1910. he
wrote to her: MY Dear Margaret-I have
your frank and noble and affecting letter,
and yet | think could wish it un written.
| ought never to have suffered you to lead
me into any conversation o + writing on our
relation TO topic from which with all
persons my genius warns me away" The
remainder of the letter is not quoted, but
we are told that it proceeds with unim-
peachable emptiness and integrity in the
same strain.
Inls he wrote in his diary: Strange,
co!d-warm, attractive repelling conversa
tion with Margaret, whom always admire.
most revere when | nearest see and some
times love, yet whom | freeze and who
freezes me TO silence when we promise to
come nearest"
Even before her brief but happy married
life Margaret Fuller found in Horace Greeley
the manliness so conspicuouSiy lacking in
Emerson Not many years afterward, when
working on tile New York Tribune, She
wrote: Mr. Greeley l like-nay, more, love.
He is in his habit a plebeian, in his heart
| a nobleman. His abilities in his own way
! are great He believes in mine to surpriS
| ing degree. We are true friends
The anaemic incompleteness of Emerson
| character is traced to the philosophy of his
| race and the fundamental falseness of every
| bit Of ftranscendentalism Emerson included
| pointed out-a falselood consisting in tn,
| theory of the self-sufficlency of each indi
| vidual men and women alike. Margare
| Fullers after history showed that she, 70
| one, was constituted like other human
| beings, was dependent upon human relation
| ships and was not only a very noble, bu
| also very womanly creature" She wa
| driven into the vaganes Of her earlier ca
reer by 1.-The lack of something which sh

Notes From Old Kaintuck.

The first stage coach ever used on the
old Cumberland Gap wagon road across
Cumberland mountains and along Yel-
low creek Is still kept as a relic by an
old blacksmith in Lee county, Va. The
old coach was drawn by four horses, but
it is load by itself for four horses in
these days. Ittas cushion onthc driver S

Mr.. Harris Bradford, of Aberdeen, claims
to have built pair of brogans by which
he can hoof it" on the Ohio. He has given
them several trials on ponds and creeks
in that vicinity. The shoes are made of
cork and some other material, the secret of
which Mr.. Bradford will not divulge.
A good one is told on drummer who
had business in Williarnstown few Gays
days ago. A large number of people were
in town, and many OF tfiera who saw the
drummer thought he was Mr.. Jones, who
is candidate for a county office, and each
of them grasped him by the hand glee-
fully calling him By the above name.
The drummer finally grew angry and
when an urchin stepped zip to him he said:

social netables were the cream of the
gatherings; last night at the Columbia it
was all cream Everybody was somebody.
The occasion was the presentation Of
Mr. Stoddard's new lecture ON the Yellowi
stone National Park to an invited audiences
Nothing like this audience has ever before
been seen in Washing gton or other Ameri5
can place OF amusement It's character
is best appreciated by a glance through
the list OF those present:
nthe boxes We're Vice-Presi dent Steven
son and party, Secretary Lamont and
party, Speaker Reed, Senator Lodge, Mrs
Gen. Sheridan and family, Mrs. Letter and
party, Mrs. Hearst and party, and scat
tered through the house were: Justices
Field Shras, and Gray; Secretary Her
bert, Secretary Morton, Secretary Francis,
Treasurer Morgan, Postmaster Wilson, At
tCrney General Harmon, Secretary Thurber,
Comptroller Eckles, and the Senators and
Representatives from almost every State
Few public speakers have ever had the
opportunity of addressing SO distinguished
a gathering, and certainly no professional
lecturer besides John l.. Stoddard. could
have commanded the presence OF an audi
enCe in any way to compare with it. 1t
will not only be a red letter memory for
Stoddard, but for every one present, the
spectacle was unique and may never be
paralleled.
1t was peculiarly appropriate that the
representatives OF the different branches
OF the government which gave the Yellow
stone National Park to the nation should
hear Mr.. Stoddard's graphic description
The speaker was listened to with rapt
attention and his beautiful views elected
the warmest comment from the delighted
audience. This is Mr.. Stoddard first lee
ture on America, and by virtue of its de-
lightful realization there is rich promise in
his announcement that next season he is
to devote his course entirely to America
Some OF the views which travellers
through our wonderland, as Well as those
who were present last night viii recall
are Fort Yellowstone. Liberty Cap, the
Hot Springs terraces, the many geysers,
the Roof of He'll, the GrOtto, the Continental
Divide, Yellowstone Lake, and the Grand
Canyon.

Of Sulphur left Uncle John Crooks
place to 90 to Bright Star to fill his
appointment. He arrived there and
preached and started back, since
which time nothing has been heard
of him, although his congi egations
havemade diligent enquiries con-
corning him,
1t is learned that he left Bright
Star with the purpose Of crossing
Sulphur at Wilson's ferry which is
run by negroes, and although the
negroes have been waited on there
they deny that such a man was put
across the ferry Foul play is sus-
pected and we learn from Mr..
Welch that a posse was formed last
night and started out TO see if they
could unravel the disappearance OF
this good man, Suspicion points to
the negroes at the Ferry as being
the cause OF the disappearance and
the posse was headed for the ferry

OF finding out If possible whether OF
