When Mr.. w. Board began reading
his scholarly paper, entitled "a Study
of Emerson, before the Congression-
al Lyceum Sunday afternoon last.
there was present an appreciative
audience, among which was quite a
number of professors and other gen.
tlemen holding college degrees.
The essayist referred to Emerson as
a great thinker, philosopher and essay
ist, that his essay on Universal Com
pensatlon, was one of the best to be
found in the English language, and if
properly studied now, it would prove
of great benefit to the people Of this
country as it would clearly show that
swift and certain punishment accord
ing TO universal law follow injustice
whether done by an individual or the
nation, neither could escape. Mr..
Board is graduate of Wherefore
University, Ohio and has won two or
three medals as an orator, the last
being the the beautiful gold medal pre-
sented him by the Congressional lyce-
um January last. His paper was a
literary treat.

GlimDSex at Manila.

Manila at night is very dull. After
10 O'Clock the city is dead aud only the
SentrieS are seen in the street: There
is no theater there. The soldiers are
rot allowed out of quarters after 10
O'Clock unless on duty; the saloons are
closed and the night life of Manila is
behind closed doors. 1T is almost i'm
possible to imagine n gre1r city of
100000 being as quiet as Manila is at
night. The SpaniardS retire to- their
homes and the Americans to their bar
racks.
The few foreign residents who spend
their evenings at the clubs return home
long before the small hours. Most
people there go to bed early, because
nearly all the city's business is done
in the forenoon, and people get up
pretty early TO do it. At noon all the
stores are closed for two hours. and in
the afternoon those who can de- so seek
refuge from the sun beneath the
spreading balconies of their homes and
do not appear in the escolta unless ii
is necessary. And if it is necessary,
