And then he added, When one's wit begins to it ia time for the heavens to opeu and take him jaway." AH life is euuobled by reason of such a man having existed, and his going heuoe is as the setting of a great sun in ja bland sky. But beyond the sunset, we know there is rest and compensation' or him, and for us is loft the rich legacy of the work he wrought, aud the memory of a tlable in his attendance upon tlie committed, and as Representative from a must distressed district, and the 1 lomaKwt advocate of a system of national relief, is an authority and stronghold for the Blue Anchor Society in, all. their work in tt.in quarter. Society is a littie in calm for this wek, and even dinner giving is enjoying a lull, partly accounted for bythe absence of the President and so many of the higher olliclals for these lew days.

public reception at the Whitej fioase is almost determined upon fpr "next; week, and it is a singular thtng that one entertainment in that mansion sets all, the oiH-cial circle in motion and little series of social, events are surs tq iollow. In the Diplomatic Corps many changes are impendingb-nd the French Minister) and bin family are inakinsr their preparations for an early departure. The Chilian Minister will be tne next to take leave, and his destination will be London Where tie will represent his Government in the relations that are now adjusting themselves between these two treat inavid Powers. Tbe( Chilian and the English Minister here have (been on the best and rooni intimate terms, wild at all social gatherings isre certain to drift tijgether. Both these Knvpys possess harm I n'g' young daughters, and 41issWet and Miss Martinez are l-euuii Ieauti4 of the same bmnelt-e type, though wholly different in theirjlndivld-ual style.

KuilAJiAH.i ings woald be cho3en and fU.fed in away to encourage the study of art, without bewildering, one's; distinitions between 'art for art's sake and art as a mere means to an end. But, iu sober truth, it is sophistry. Lady Harherton has been driven to a corner, and is forced 'io defeud the1 divided skirt by begging the m-un question, and desperate! suggesting that woman unadorned with -suy skirt: at all may, peradventure, be adorned the most, It'is easy to see that the opponents of the "rational" dress, having put the article In such an irrational, not tosay ludicrous, predicament, ciim afford to cease their efforts. The divided skirt is shown io jbe a snare and a delusion. If women were constructed like fish, or propelled by wheels and pinions, it might do to talk About arbitrary shiftings of the skirt for purposes of fashion; but they are very certainly not so built and operated-nor would the most radical of us have them so if we could, except, perhaps, in a few pronounced cases, and generally in the matter of opera choruses.

They: possess legsj and the lejgs insist upon being played as pairs, so to put it. Onlys those abnormal and misguided ones of the sex.j like Anna Dickinson, who are nothing if not exceptional, care to yield the ad vantage which eomesof keeping the two legs in one sphere. if we may so uame it.Wubjectortly to such variations as are approved; of fixed custom, and come under the head of doing in Rome as Rome does. All this is hard on Lady Harberton, of course, who is un'der-i stood to bo an admirable lady, with really excellent intentions. But she should have looked before she leaped Being a woman, she should have avoided the mistake of expecting women to be 'rational" In the direction of surrendering a manifest andi profitable expedient for tempting and overreaching the sons otjAdam.

A divided skirt means the revelation of the one secret which every woman prefers to keep, at least to an extent that, leaves a little something for men to guess and be curious about, and frequently to bo fooled upon.

Beyond a doubt the unseating! of Chalmers and the giving of his place to yuch is an act of substantial justice. Fraud is rebuked, but it is toomuphjto expect the Mississippi Bourdons to learn there from the lesson that it is better be honest than to have a Democratic! member of Congress from a bulldozed Shoestring district. Similar justice will presently be meted out to two more Bourbpijs, one from South Carolina and one frooj yionda. The good grace with which the fjemocf ats in the House yielded yesterday to the inevitable is very pleasant to iibsurve. They might have delayed to settlement by filibustering; refraiijnngj from so doing, they showed unusual and unexpected good sense.

The fact is u(jt a few Democrats realize thoroughly hat they can a good deal better afford to have Mr.Chalmers turned out han they eun afford to indorse, even by th electoral, methods whioh gave him tiief seat. Republicans should wel- come these erring brethren, even when only two or three, turning from their sins, clunb up on the Republican platform of a free baljjot and a fair count. Let the good work Of ieonversiou go on. There Is coora on that platform for millions more. 1 Speakjxo of" Mississippi improve-; meut bill the Chicago Times says: $6.4 lO.OCO It Is proposed to appropria fmm theinihflo treasury la to be expended in repii ini old and buihling new Uikus along'the river to prot.ct private lands uguinst The KiK''io "levee swindle" Uoeuot even propose to spend the money In any work on or in flie river, but in diking privn'e farms along the bunks of it for the accommodation and benefit their owners, i I i This ii ah upright and downright lie the biggest jjuid the most inexcusable whgpper that has? lately appeared in print, even in the Chicago Times.

AIEIFOKM TEAT 13 A FAILTJEE. Thedess reformers, with Lady Harber-tou ati tlieir head, meet With all sorts of dinicultfes In their sedulous, attempts jto popularize what they call the 4 'rational or common-sense costume for women. First, they were assailed simply with jesj.

and bauter; but gradually the matter has assumed a serious aspect, and the issue i 1 i of Uie divided skirt is fast becoming a i i 1 mora'i fine. Such a result was probably oreseefji rom the first ly. philosophers, since any irregular bandliug of skirts must in volve moral considerations-, as the! general experience of mankind goes jtojj prove. The iuSujuce of the skirt, on human affairs, from Eve down to Bei iibliidt, has been nniformly felt and acknon lelgel. If there were no frkirts in thqjwrirld, or if the skirts were never interfered with, life would bo a very different! thing.

The skirt, in short shitrt or lonir, in fact is a thing that it doesn't do to trifle with. We liuve no fail to lie surprised, there- fore. It hat Lady Harberton and her ico- crusaders, iu trying toj fstabliwh ajuew fori i Jof have go their joint and sevc ral feet in it. Not duly "their fect, their dainty jocund lgs.

Washikgtox, D. Ci, April 27. Last night the Prei-ident and a party of higher-oflleialastarted down the rivor to attend the graduatinjf exercises of the Artillery School at Fortress to witness ihn naval review, and to enjoy a whiffof the salt nir and the jjtiangc of cmvry to be afforded at Old Point Comfort. After inhaling the sweet brecKes of the PoUimac Flats for so many months, the President has well deserved his tittle business holiday forthree days, at least, neither Indian nor cowboy wars, Irish suspects, tliinese coolies.

Fit John Porter nor Chili and Peru need disturb his confabs with his Cabinet friends. The officers at the Fortress give a grand ball at the Hygeia Hotel, and Idling and Invalid Ia-shion that assembles at; (hut famous resort; has been on the rack ot preparation for a fortnight. Etiquette seldom allows the President to attend such entertainments at the and the Executive pleasuring roves only in ihe circumscribed limits of dinners and stately receptions at the bouses ot Cabinet officers or Seii atom. i Young Porry Belmont has been thirsting for notoriety ever since an irresponsible constituency sent him Congress, and he has lately been earning it since the investigations of Peruvian affairs made by the House committee on Foreign Relations, to which he is the ap-ipendago. In his person is represented a new element in politics and a phase ot publie lite not common to this country.

Alter the m.muer of the scions of foreign nobility, and with a clearly expressed purpose that would at once have set him up as a hero of one of Disraeli's politico-social romances, ho euWrs the "arena to win ior hiuiselt a name and tame wherewith to gild the refined gold of his family possessions. With a 'soul above polo and fox hunting, and a spirit attuned to hLrher things, he announces politics as his profession and life work. Tuis mission lacked chance of fulfillment until the sovereign people of Long Island sent tlie youth to Congress. In Washington he has avoided, society as becomes a man of serious pursuits, and has devoted him self to legislative duties, swallowing re-; vised statutes, digesting works oh finance I and assimilating every tiling bearing on tlie ioc-cuU science ot government. In appearance; is a Blender, well-built young man, with jdark hair, square forehead, and a mus-tache ornamenting his lip.

When the foxy Bhipherd was brought before the committee to conceal what he knew about Peruvian affairs and tell all tuerest, young Belmout whetted up his weapons and began. Mr. Blaine being summoned, the young David made ready his sling, but this Gollah proved too 'much lorj and a spectacle was presented in that committee-loom never before lequaled in the Capitol building. An audience assembled each morning, and for two days the uesi oi entertainment was luruislieu by an otherwise steady, hard-working oommittoej uiider which seis young politician sue! tered himself. A tangled rigmarole of qucs tions without point, relevancy or interrogation marks were produced -by young Beimont, and the wrath and impatience of.

Mr. Blaine were iumusiug to witness. It was Gulliver attacked by one Lilliputian, and an insolent pigmy at that. Snubbed, i-epriuiaiided and called to his senses by his colleagues, the embryo politician kept1 on, and a more persistent little gadfly never tempted benevolence to spare it. Humming and buzzing with its small wings, its minute sting iuiuriuted victim, and audience alike, and there was a universal desire to drive it out of the window, interestiup- and exciting as the scenes were which it evoked.

The mailt ner In which Belmont put his loiig-drawii and wildly involved questions was something superb; a languid, liquid tone, and a superior and imprcssiveculm marking each phrase, and a penholder, daintily held by two fingeisi Serving as a wand in his gestures! In spirit there is quite the same motive to his conduct as impelled Charles J. Guiteau, and while 'one was "on theology," this younger enthusiast is quite as' plainly "on politics." 'Do-ire for notoriety and wild craving to be-ioome the prominent figure before the public jeye, animated thii descendant of tiie old naval jhero aud the Jewish banker, although his mania is far removed from any "inspirod Be lore the young man finished the tilt became exciting, and his statement being branded by Mr. Blaine with untruth, yonng Belmont, witn a fierce gleam in his eye, announced his intention of answering that in private, and called "untruth a dangerous!

OONCEKKISG EMERSOif.

The news that Emerson; is dead ls ot deep aiid sorrowful moment. It means the ending of the greatest American literary career, the loss of a man whose writings have shed luster upon his country in all lands. There has been but one Emerson in the world, He stood aloney original, unique. -That earthquake! of a scholar," oue of our foremost orators recently characterized and the designation fits the man with singular accuracy and suggestiveness." all literature dornesticj and foreign, aucient and modern, we miss his counterpart. There have been other essayists, other I poets, other philosophers, who dwelt apart and were surpassing by virtue of their- vigorous and potent individuality; but never one quite like! this wonderful American, gifted in so many ways, and yet so simple, so fieiene, so wisely cheerful and so carefully serious and peuetrating.

It was the custom for many years after this incomparable man was let, loose, the planet to make sport of his methods, and call his messages over-didaotio and labyrinthiau but we.gradually came to see closer and to know better. He gave us nothing at a bargain, that was all; he required us to think, and to expand, our range of vision. The gold and silver he offered lis did not lie upon the surface; but the treasure was there if we would dig for it and we get uothiug worth having without earning it. He was. not voluminous, but he was comprehensive, and tho subject 'that jonee passed through his bands, however briefly, was exhausted.

The whole bulk of his literary work, covering an exceptionally long and busy life, and a life devoted almost outirely to authorship, can be put in a lady's hand bag; but whait a marvelous sweep It has, what a mine it is of learning and research, of judgment and prophecy, of delight and spjendor. The measure of fame, of greatness, of genius, is not; popular familiarity If so it were, Homer would forfeit his crown to the singer of Mother Goose's melodies, and Shakspeare would be outranked by Boucicault. i The books of Emerson have never sold largely, have never boon read widely, but tlierir influence has been felt throughout the uuivoi-se, and they arc secure beyond los or forgtrtfuluess for all time. They belong to tin) choice and mas-Jsr list of works, always a small aud slowly increasing one. Which comprises the r- I1 positive and permanent Additions to literature and jihe progress of knowledge.

Such books not to be estimated by commercial jstandaj-ds, or by the uiimle.r of pies printed and circulated in a given number of They are not for a day, but for the agos. Tho older they booonio the better they will seem, the more they will be studied and prized. They were made to last. Their author builded from, the bottom, jand employed only such material as should be euduring and! monumental, jj Of Emerson as a man simply, none but the sweetest and honorablest things are to be said. -The story ot his life.

Resembles one of his pwu philojwphio peJems. He never betrayed the least sign of envy, of jealousy, of iinpatieuoe or spiteful ness, sorely as he must often have been tempted, in such directions. Tiierein, how nobly he appears as compared with Carlyle, for instance, who was iu a sense his co-worker, i i and whom he always held in high esteem. Emerson's ertpnoity for friendship must be named as one of the finest traits of hh) well-poised and admirable character. We may be pure we shall not find among jrelios any of those unkind ami coarse critfeisms of personal jassociates an i patrons which Carlyle left to be shot as ptlsouei arrows at thtse who' had com-' pauioued and helpod him.

There is no angularity, po thp easy and unpretentious, but gei tool andjcnUurod, life of this bur far-eyed and lienetieent We have uo'exphiuatioiis to make, for hjm, no foibles, to excuse, no mistakes ui correct.
