His Return to the City Yesterday His
Lecture Tonight Mt the Academy-His
Movements, Present and Future-He

NJ. RocheIort after remaining since Tuesday at
Yonkers returned to the city yesterday afternoon,
reaching the Grand Central Hotel at about three
O'Clock, where he met Messrs. Pain and Benedic.

Of the hour as he was out the man portion or the
day settling various little matters OF detail. At
six O'Clock NJ. Rocheort and his friends joined the
brothers May, the Communists, with whom they
dined. They met there the two leaders OF the
Commune, Messrs. Grousset and Jourde. Very
cordial greetings took place between them, though
there was little new TO communicate, as the two
escape from New Caledonia There were but a lew
persons present at the dinner, which was en-
J1nltUe.
M Rochefort's lecture, which is looked forward
to with so much interest, takes place this evening

the French population and the many others no

to his enemies The lecture, however, is not
written out IN full and Will therefore not
be mere reading. the major portion OF It will be
impromptu and as Rochetort when speaking on q
topic which interests him Is very eloquent, q fine
oratorical effort may he looked forward to. The
lecture Will comprise review OF the dolngs OF the
September government OF the Commune and It's
work. the Theirs government and the present
MacMahon Presidency. The insincerity OF the
many French republican leaders will come In for q
share OF that scathng satire OF which R0cheIOrt IL

ROCHEFORTS FUTURE PLANS.
M. ROcheort has not yet decided upon his future
plans He has thus far been much pleased with
his sOjourn here and the pOliteness and regard
with which he has been treated. He says ne does
not know whether he will go to Boston and Phila-
delphia or not. In any case he Will leave for
Europe on Saturday, June Is. He states that he
has received letters from relatives and friends in
Europe very pressing In their anxiety for his re-
turn, and he cannot pr0ong his stay longer than
the time mentioned. Nothing now has been de-
cided concerning the banquet to Messrs. Grousser
and Jourde They will not probably accept, feel
ing, as does Rochefort, that this Is no time Tor

The San Francisco Commercial
Herald, of July 9, publishes the fol-
lowing:
Very important information has
reached us from what we deem an
authentic source, to the effect that
overtures have been made by the
Mexican Government to that of the
United States to cede all the territory
of the former lying north of line OF
latitude drawn directly from the
mouth of the Rio Grande to the Pa
cific Ocean, and that the matter will
engross the attention of Congress at
its next session, with the greatest
probability of its acceptance. What
are to be the considerations for this
cession of territory we are not in
formed, and it is likely that the point
has not yet been settled. One thing
is positive, a number Of our heaviest
CAPITALISTS and bold operators have
very recently been actively in pursuit
of mines lying in the territory to DC
coded. Several in Lower California
have already changed hands, and min
ing engineers have been dispatched to
Sonora and Chihuahua. tits evident
to us that much commOtion exists
about this matter in certain circles,
and that there is good foundation tor
the report. By this arrangement the
United States will acquire Nueva
LeoA Coahuila, Chihuahua, Sonora,
Lower California and portions OF
Sinaloa and Durango. 1t is probable
that the postponement Of final decision
by the Mexican and American Joint
Commissions was based upon this
consideration, ind it is not unlikely
that the Mexican Government may
have been influenced by the attitude
taken BY the United States Govern
ment in reference to Mexican inroads
upon our territory. Mexico has need
Of money, the States named are dis
tant from the Capital, and there are
no railroads or other even moderate
means ofconnection. They cannot be
controlled by their FederaN authori-
ties. and are almost constantly IN an
uproar. In these and similar reasons
may be found the inducements which
have actuated the Mexican Govern
ment.

recently hired three horses from a

them so hard during a whole day as to
kill two of them outright, and injure
the other past hope of recovery. The
three animals we're valued at $500. The
case was taken up by the Society for

Of this growing city of twenty-five or

"Burleigh" writes from Washington
to the Boston Journal: An amusing
incident occurred the other day on
one of the trains from Boston to this
city. The cars were very crowded.
An elegantly dressed woman occupied
an entire seat. Her bundles, band
box and bag were piled artistically.
She was obvious to the fact that pas
sengers were rushing back and forth
to obtain sittings. More than one gen.
tleman drew himself up in front of the
imperious dame, and silently pleaded
for the vacant spot. She famed her
self leisurely, lolled in the seat, and
evidently thought things were very
comfortable, as they were. ''Is that
seat occupied, madam ?" said we'll

man walked on. In half an hour the
door opened, and in walked a tall,
rough fellow coarse as a Polar bear.
His clothes were i'll put on, and smelt
OF the stable. He was ungloved and
brawny,and weighed full two hundred.
Ills eye ran along the car, and caught
the seat on which our lady was Sit
ting. He made for it. With great de.
liberation he seized the 5andbox and
bag, put them plump into the lap of
the lady, and sat down in the vacant
spot like one who intended to stay. If
looks could have annihilated a man.
there would have been corpse in
that car about that time. The man
seemed very much at home. He whis.
