Emtrton'i Memory.
Emerson was a notable sufferer from

in Bokfon apparently at a loas for
something and asked him where h
was going. "To dine," mid Emerson,
"with a very old and dear friend.

wont ask me ber name." And then h
proceeded to describe her as "the
mother of the wife of the young man

and so on, until his interlocutor guess
ed to whom be was referring. Even
tbe names of common objects often
failed him completely. On one occa
slon when he wanted n-i mnhrr-lla be
said: "I can't tell Its n.mic but I can
tell its history. Strangers take

a pathetic scene when be attended
Longfellow's funeral and remarked as
be gazed at tbe coffin, "He was
sweet and beautiful soul, bnt I bave
entirely forgotten his name."
Ntro't Golden House.
The "golden house" of Nero seems
from all accounts to have been the
most stupendous dwelling place ever
built for a mortal man. Even if we
regard the ancient descriptions as
somewhat exaggerated it remains one
of the largest royal houses ever built,
and tbe Internal decorations seem to
have been Incomparably magnificent
It was surrounded by parks, woods
and pools of great size, which appeal
to bave been entirely within tbe walls
The colonnades of tbe house itself ex
tended a mile in length and crossed
one of the main thoroughfares of the
city. The cities of the east were raD-
sacked for masterpieces of Greek nrt
for the interior. The walls shone with
gold and pearls, and the roof rested o
marble columns of enormous size and
beauty. New York American.
