Bnmor has reached the State De­ partment to the effect that he had been on a protracted spree ever since he received the ap­ pointment, and that be made himself HO obnox­ ious to the authorities after his arrival at his destination that he was refused official recog­ nition. The President's attention has been called to Flinn's conduct, and it is probable that tbe appointment will be canceled. As SOON as the funds recently appro­ priated to continue the work on the Washing­ ton monument are available, proposals for bids will be issued by the Engineer.

The Government must, also, tbe .Premier said, make compensa­ tion to the landlords for losses ensuing to them from this policy, from the church fund.

Itt 1888 Emerson made a voyage to Euiope for the benefit of his health, ui England he formed the aoquaintanoe of snoh men as Colo- ridge, Wordsworth, Oarlyle, Walter Savage Lander, and otherfamous literati. Beturning to Boston in the winter, ha ooinmsnoed a seties at lectures, and in 1884 preached for a time for the Unitarian Church in New Bedford. In 183% he delivered a series of biographical lecture* in Boston. In 1898. at tbe laying ot the corner­ stone of a monument commemorating tbe Con­ cord fight, an oda written by him was sung. It con tains the immortal lines: , onoe the embattled farmers stood. AwS "fired the ehot heard round the world. In 1836 his book, entitled "Nature," was pub­ lished, whish met with so small a sale that after twelve years only 600 copies were sold. In 1838 Emerson collected and published* in three volumes, "Csrlyle's Essays," hav­ ing previously edited the American edition of ••Sartor Resartus." In that year he, with Bronson Aloott, Margaret Fuller, Parker, Stetson, Clarke and others, formed the Transcendental Ciub, devoted to the dis­ cussion of idealistio rebgioc. be resigned a position as minister of Bast Lexington in 1838. on aoeount of his increasing liberality of opin­ ion. In 1889-'40 he lectured in Bofton. In 1810 a quarterly magazine, called The Dial, ot which Emenon was editor, being aesooiated therein with Margaret Fuller, was commenced ud wan published for four years, and for which h.v wrote much both of proso and poetry. In the Brook Farm scheme of 1841 he took much interest, but his keen sense of the ridicu­ lous prevented his becoming a resident of " the esthetic village," as he styled it. In t847 he published a second series of es- says and a volume of poeajs. In the fall of that year he made a second visit to England. There he was engaged to deliver a course of lectures for the Mechanics' Institute, which had some time previously been organized by the famous Lord Brougham. These lectures were remarkably successful; the American phil­ osopher was received not only by the most prominent men of letters, but by the masses of the people. The iritis were thronged, and the public journals leemed with the popular opm- lonsfof prolound[respect and esteem fo rtiie man and his lectures. He published another volume of essays in 1819, and kIHO published in book form some of his eontributions to the Dial. "Essays on Representative Men" ap­ peared i« 1850, " Memoirs of Margaret Fuller Ossoli" in 1862, "English Traits" in 1856, the •' Conduct of Life" in I860, " May Day and Other Poems"in 1867, "Society ana Soli­ tude " in 1870. The abolition movement gained Emereon's sympathies from tbe very first. From the year 1844, when he delivered an address in honor of West Indian emancipation, be was ever heart and soul for the cause. Emerson was twioe married. In 1829 to Ellen Louisa Tucker, who died of consumption in 1832, and in 188S to Lydia Jackson of Ply­ mouth, who has been tbe beloved companion till tbe last. He was always interested in the public welfare, ana took an aotive part in the literary organizations of Consord. By those who knew him longest and most intimately he wss regarded with xwvsrence and dsvodon. DONGS 07 00V6SKSS.

Thirty-five white people were killed. The Indiana were scattering into small bands and making for the Cbiricahua mountains tn Mexioo, Forsythe, with his eutire command, was in pursuit. The pursuing force numbered fifteen companies of cavairy, but the chances of overhauling the murderous wretches was re­ garded as very smaii, unless the Mexicat? Gov­ ernment acted promptly in driving them back. Avers, a small mining camp in Arizona, was surrounded by 150 hostile Indians, and three whites had been killed and one wounded. Stanislaus Mestas, aged 9 years, who escaped tbe massacre at Ste%ns' sheep-camp, tells the followtng story of that ghastly affair; " Before daylight the Indians attacked the camp while we Were all asleep. My father and five otiter men attempted to get their guns, but too late. Tbe Indians rushed in from all sides and over­ powered them before a shot could be tired. The work of slaughter then began. An In­ dian put the muzzle of his gun against the head of one man and fired, blowing his brains against the floor and wall. 2 saw thsrn kill my mother and two little brothers by beating their brains out with stones ̂ They killed five. They tied my father and tortured him most dreadfully. He begged them to spare him, but they only tor­ mented Mm the* more. When they tired of torturing him, one of them split his skull with an ax. An Indian squaw, wife of one of the four friendly Apache sheep-herders, who worked with us, saved my life by holding me behind her and begging them to spare me. When all the Mexicans were dead except m». the Indians left." Intelligence from Arizona, conveyed through a Tucson telegram of April 27, is to tbe effeot that CoL Forsyth's oommand encountered a band of the hostiles near old Camp Backer and killed six of them. Four of the men were wounded and one killed in the skirmish, after which the Indians scattered. The Mexican Gen. Fuero waa marehing north from Janos to attack the Indians going into the Chirac*, bua mountains. & flgbt occurred between Mexican soldiers and Indians near the fron­ tier in which nine of the latter were slaughtered. The American mining c&mf> at Bsohnaohi, in Sonera, was raided, and all valuables carried away. At a large meeting in Tucson, resolutions were adopted to inform the President and Congress that nearly 100 pioneers had been murdered by Apaobes wit hi u m few days. Gov.

Blatr, deorinfc that he beard Shipherd state to the «4MNIU; that Minister Hurlbut bad been offered *8601000 in the stook of the Peruvian Coaopany. Mr. Blsine at one timeexprsssed the opinion that Shipherd should be sent ha> fore the Chrand Jury for perjury. Mr. Blaine was sgifa before the Bouse For­ eign Affaire Committee, on the 98th of AprfL He expressed his obligations for an opportun­ ity to state that no important dispatches in re- and to'South American affairs were prepared during President Garfields' sickness. He stated, with much earnestness, that tbe English bondholders put up a ipb of war on Peru fur booty; that Chiu and Kadand were now dividing spoils amounting to *60,000,000, isnd that history wia hold th« United States responsible for the dismember­ ment wbich has taken place. Mr, Biaine al- Inded to the efforts which have been made to fix upon him (Bkiae) the responsi­ bility for a certain policy toward the South American states which WM calculated to involve this country seriously, and contin­ ued : " I don't desire to assume that President Arthur is responsible for any such effort. I acquit him entirely; but I desire at this tim« to place this matter before the oouunittoe cor­ rectly." Blaine then produced, the original draft of the instructions which were given Tresoott, which he read, and pointed out cor­ rections which bad been made by tbe President, some of them at his (Blaine's) suggestion, and commented on the corrections and their merits and demerits. He added: " I do not by any means find fault with the President lor chang­ ing his mind; but thia is the original draft of instructions to which President Arthur gave his assent, and which, following precedent, I kept. I desire to state most solemnly that the assumption that I ever interpolated a line or syllable in a dispatoh after It was agreed to by the President is as false a he as that which was circulated over the oonntry I was during the President's sickness blocking out a foreign policy of my own." Mr. Belmont, of tap committee, propounded a series of questions in regard to the terms "good offices'" and " officially,*9 and a some what lively tilt ensued between examiner atii witness, which was suddenly brought to a cli­ max by Blaine's remarking, with some empha­ sis ; '•*! hope, Mr. Belmont, you will be a gen­ tleman. I shall be one, and shall treat you as such. I am not in a Police Court to be badg­ ered. I must answer my questions in my own way, and you must not undertake to correct me," Belmont disclaimed any lack of courtesy or desire to badger. The event in the Foreign Affairs Gommitte« on the 27th ult was a very exciting scene be- tween Mr. Blaine and Congressman Belmont, of New York, who had been most active in ex­ amining the witness. Shortly after the open­ ing of proceedings Mr. Blaine grew excited and said : " Mr. Belmont exhausted two hours of the time of the committee yesterday, in travel­ ing in a circle. Ho repeated his questions six or eight or ten times over. Of course ho has the right, but it is all based on the fact that he -made two misquotations--absolute, pal­ pable mii-quotaiious, and this course of his is to establish his Justification in doing that. He has not yet touched upon it. While I have the largest possible stock of patience, I would rath­ er that lie oome directly to the point There are many important points I would like to be heard upon, but iteration and reiteration of the same question# in order to vindicate Belmont for having made the blunder to misquote me in two particulars is a little too exhausting. He has made two palpable misquotations, and hat' made no explanation of them, when, as a gentleman, as I understand him to bŝ he ought to state frankly that he did it." Mr. Blaine, wbo had been standing and speaking with a good deal of excitement, here took his seat, and Belmont jumped from his chair and said: "Of course lvalue's objeot is plain enough--that is to aveid the direct issue." Blaine (rising and striking the table angrily with bis clenched hand)--"What issue 7" Belmont--"The issue which must be met." Blaine--"What issue?" Belmont (also rising angrily and striking the table)--"I will not answer a single question that you ask from this time to the end of the examination. Ton have stated what 1 deem to be entirely incorrect Yon have attempted to place me in a false position. In this you will not succeed. I said that quotation marks were a mistake of the printer, and your language bears the construction I pat upon it Tne careful reader will agree with me, and tbe care­ less reader maybe influenced by your speech. The commencement of this examination this morning relieves me of all the consideration I mentioned yesterday, which 1 intended to ob­ serve to a man who bad held the office of Sec­ retary of State. You have placed yourself on a level with any other witness. I will examine you as snoh." Blaine (angrily)--" What do you mean V Belmont--" I mean this: That you have been before committees before this; that you have endeavored to threaten." Wilson (interrupting)--" I submit this is not in order." Blaine--"This intolerable. The insolenos of 1Mb young man ia intolerable," Belmont--"You have brought it upon your­ self." " I have no more regard for your insolence," retorted Blaine, " than I have for tnat of a boy on the street" Belmont--" Mr. Blaine has had due experi­ ence beiore committees, and he has endeav­ ored to threaten them. He has done it for the last time. He will not do it to me." Blaine--"This is too trilling. I hope the committee will protect iiwiU. I have no power." After some confusion quiet was restored, and Belmont resumed bis questions. They took such a wide range that several of tbe mem­ bers of the committee objected to going into the whole South American policy. Beimont said then he was done. Blaine said he did not desire to leave the room without giving Belmont an opportunity to apologize lor misquoting his dispatches, and making him say that no treaty of peace shall be s:gned unless the Lau- dreau claim is recognized. " That," said Blaine, " has been tbe slogan of tbe dirty Dem­ ocratic party and the pgam that stand behind said Bel- Jay Uoold's 8oi as a Pugrlllat. Young Oould is becoming quite a man- about town, and may be seen at boxing matches and similar plaoes of amuse­ ment. His tastes axe ao strong in this direction that be is under the instructions of a professional pugilist, Billy Mmldeu, in the manly art of self-defense. This may not be altogether a matter of taste, as nis father's mifortunes may have sug­ gested it as a wise precaution. This expert does double duty. Besides in­ structing young Gould in his art he shadows Jay Gonld himself, and the man who would attempt to waylay the rail­ road magnate would fall into horny hands. This nervousness on th< part of Mr. Gould dates from the time Major Selorer avenged himself by puking Mm up and throwing him met tne railing in mmt of a barber-sliop, He has not yet recovered from the fright* although he and Major Belorer van friends again within a year. Tnm Louisrille Courier says that truth is at the bottom of a well and that the Belmont.' " The aggression is on your part,' mont " I am very aggressive against false state­ ments," siuti Bluiue, " and Belmont has stated what has no uctublauce of truth." Belmont retorted ; " You have asserted a falsehood; but I do not propose that tbi4 com­ mittee-room, or that the press, or the country in any way shall undertake to judge my method of reply to your assertion ; tuat i wiU eotivey to you m private." - Bluine reiterated his statement. " Tnen this is tbe very last word 1 am willing to give," said Belmont " The words in effeot mean just what they say, and that in the con­ struction thit is to bo put on your dispatch. As to your assertion about the character of my statement, as I have said just now, my coarse of acuon in regard to that will be conveyed to you in private. 1 do not propose to make any scene here with you, or to make any capital one way or tbe oilier. You may if you choose. I think that is your method. That is what you are umially guilty ot. You are a bully and a cowp.rd." [Sensation.] Blaine enuled, and spoke slowly, suppressing his passion: '*Tuis man has disgrsoed his place. He is tbe organ of men behind nim. Ho was put there to insult me. His meaning was to do it. I beg to say bs cannot do it. It is not in Mr. Belmont's power to insult me. Ho may my I am a bully and a coward, and ail that I recognize that he is speaking for men behind hun. N " Wnat I sav is entirely on my own responsi­ bility," cried Mr. Belmont, " and I repeat, you shall very soon learn my method of de*hug with this question and with vou."

The Hanging of Dr. Lamson. , i Dr. Lamson was hanged at London on the '28th ult He broke down completely at me last moment. On the scaffold he swayed back­ ward and forward and stared wildly around him. ' When plaoed under th® noose, the chap­ lain, who appeared much affected, began read­ ing the burial servioe, Lamson, in the mean­ time, being supported by two jailers. Just before the' cap wss adjusted he cast down his eyes with a look of extreme despair. Death was instantaneous. The drop was nine feet Dr. Lamson was an American, but had practiced medicine in Europe for sev­ eral years. In 1876 he went to the East and was m charge of a Servian hospital for a time and afterward was attached to a hospital at Buoharest About one year ago he came to the United States,, but his practice was not profita­ ble and ho was obliged to part with articles of personal attire to meet his expenses. It so happened that in the event of the death of his wife's brother, Percy Malcolm, in his mi­ nority, tii© sum of £8,500 would fall to Mrs. Lamson and her sister. Tho doc­ tor frequently visited the boy. He was at that time living at Nelson's Hotel, in London, having returned to England on money obtained by pawmng his surgical in­ strument* and watch. He could not pay his bills and was iaJmehJdistresB that he attempted to borrow of his landlord, and passed a worth­ less check on a friend named Tulloct. One day the doctor called on Percy in the presence of Mr. Bedbrook, who brought out some sherry. The doctor mixed grouud sugar with it for Percy, and then produced some gelatine cap- sales, saying he had not forgotten the boy while in America. He offered one to Mr. Bed- brook, who swallowed it without any ill effects. Percy took one and died in three hours. The doctor started for the continent, but in a few days appeared in Scotiant Yard, saying that he had heard his name connected with tbe lad's death, and ninch to his discomfiture he was pat uuder arrest. Au examination of the boy'e viscera w&e made, and the alkaloid from the contents of the stomach killed mice when injected into them, just as aconite did under the same circumstances. An examination of a package of powders made by Dr. Lamson showed enough aconite in some of them to kill 100 persons, but in others there was nothing but qainine. His trial lasted a week, beginning March 8. His friends in America sent a petition to tbe Presi­ dent asking him to interfere on the ground of insanity. It was learned from the records of the Bloomiugdale Asylum that Rev. William Lamson's mother, maternal uncle and sister died in that institution. It was further shown that Dr. Lanuon was in the Habit of using opium in large quantities. It was decided, however, by tbe English authoritlss that there were no sufficient grounds for further delay. He was 35 years of age. nnmn ham Iwum * * , r Charlotte Cusliman's Intrepid ftplrit. The following anecdote illustrates Miss Gushman's decision and nerve.

Mrs. Scoville had quite an interesting interview with her brother, Guiteau, in jail. She told him plainly that she wanted to take care of his money and papers, and he as plainly told her to mind her own business. In fact, ths assas­ sin of President Garfield got very angry at her interference in his affairs, and talked to her very much as he talked to his brother John when he came on a similar mis­ sion. In speaking of their interview Mrs. Scoville said : " I did not want bis money io much as to see whether I could reueli him. Now that I hava gone so far 1 may go further, and do htm some good. He said it would not hart me if he was imnged. I told him it would hart me more than it would him; it would kilt me.
