QUEEN ISABELLA EXILE

The dethrOned Queen of Spain was
still at St Sebastian at last accounts.
The Bordeaux Gironde gives the follOw~
ing particulars of her sojourn there
Secluded, almost in solitude, in her
palace, through whose saloons streams
of courtiers and guests SO lately passed,
the Queen is reported to give vent to bits
ter sarcasms in speaking of her lonely
and deserted condition. Her intendant
and lover, Marfol, whO-to everybody's
indignation-is seen struttingabOut the
streets, appears to be her Majesty only
confdant Now that her reasons for
postponing her departure, and resisting
the wise advice of the few faithful
friends remaining to her, are known, the
Queen, as a woman and mother, is re-
garded with supreme indifference. The
inspector of the North of Spain railway
is continually in attendance, awaiting
her Msjestys pleasure to give fourth
order of departure, the royal carriages
still remaining in the station" +

ST. Louis, Oct 20.-Late Salt Lake
papers contain the proceeding Of the
General Mormon Conference, all Nor
mon church dignitaries were fully repre-
scented. IL Was unanimously agreed that
the commercial intercourse with the
Gentiles should be restricted tosnscessi-
ties. MOrmons. purchasing generally
from the Gentilss, will do so at the peril
of expulsion from the church. This mea-
sure is urged as nseessaryin self defense
against the rapidly approaching danger
from outsiders, coming in with the Union
and Pacific railroad. They are aYowed
enemies Of the Mormon institutions, and
commercial nOn-inteFcOurse only can
restrain the MOrmons and encourage

August, 1867, Captain Hall was at Reuulsa
Bay, preparing an expedition to King
Williams Land, where, from Information
obtained from the Esquimaux, il seems he
yond doubt that important records and
some relics of the franklin expedition are
still preserved. The point to be reached
was four hundred and fifty miles north of
KePulse Bay, and in country the inhab-

SURPRISE PARTIES.

What are now called surprise parties
became quite fashionable in England
about the year 1900, when they were
called "pic-nic suppers." The bill Of fare
was prepared, each dish being numbered,
and the subscribers to the entertainment
drew lots, and each required to furnish
the dish marked against the number he
drew. This may be useful as hint to
persons getting upsurprise parties, which,
by the way, are the most sensible species
of Entertainment now in vogue, because
the entertainer is required to furnish only
the parlors, and is put to no trouble to
prepare for the guests, while the visitors
furnish their own supper and music, and
thus equalize expenses In that way the
people who live in pleasant house, but
who cannot afford to prepare an enter-
tainment entirely at their own cost, may
stiIl receive their friends occasionally
and enjoy social and festal evening.

Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph
WAsuINgTON Dec. rs
" H91lIsNNIVFN IDNNs ~
The Missouri SenatOrship.


Recent letters received here from promi-
mnent politicians in Missouri state that
there is no doubt of the defeat OF Henderson for
the United States Senate. General Carl Schurz
is at present the strongest man, and stands the
best chance OF being Henderson's successor.
The friends of B. F. Loan now member from
Missouri, are very active, however, urging his
claims. Henderson does not intend giving up
the contest without determined fight. He has
few adherents among the members of the Legis-
lature, but a large majority are unquestionably
against him on account of his impeachment
record.
HeDderson's friends, it is understood, will go
for Loan in preference to SchurZ, when they
become convinced that their man stands no
chance. Since the publication OF
President Johnson's Amnesty PrscIa-
nation
il is suggested that JET Davis return at once, aud
be surrendered by his bail. The programme
is TO have him committed to custody, when a
writ of habeas corpus will be applied for in the
Supreme Court, and discharge of the prisoner
asked for on the ground that the Amnesty Pro-
clamation absoves him from all liabilities.
Letters have already been sent to Mr.. Davis, to
England, asking him to return here and allow
his case to be tested in order to discover the
value of Presidents proclamation in the Court.
