WHAT rnR CONGRESS HAS DONE.

To-day the Plsnipotentiaries to tho
Congress will sign the Treaty Of Berlin
which will take the place OF the Treaty
OF Paris, 1t is jus. N month to-day
since The Congress assembled In tho
RadziwiIi Palace. In thirty days the
statesmen and diplomats OF Europe have
swept away the clouds OF war. set the
bounds to Russian conquest in Asia and
Europe. and rsmodelled Turkey in
such fashion Al best suited their in
~terssts and feelings. The treaty which
is to DO signed to-day is said to be n
Of the longest on record. 1t embraces
sixty clauses. and Is intended to cover
every point and every issue presented
by the Eastern question. II will prob.
ably be q month before the document
will receive the formal ratiheations Of
the different nations. which will make 1t
binding. but when il Is ratified 1t will
become the supreme law OF Europe and
Be duly respected until Russia feels her
self strong enough to venture upon its
violation.
One good result will flow from the
Berlin Congress, aud therefore from the
Russian war with Turkey. The sub
jects Of the Sublime Porte will hereafter
be governed with Of clsmeney.
and his people will no longer be at the
mercy OF an army Of selfish Pashas.
Bulgaria Ia to have q Prince OF her own;
Bosnia and Herzegovina are practically
placed under Austrian control. Servia is
an independent power. and tho people
Of Asia Minor arc placed under the pro-
lection OF Great Britain. From this
time on. the Sultan Of Turkey will en-.

sovereign /; but his prerosatives rs a

actual rulers Of his dominions will be

tria. with headquarters at Constantine.
pie. This much Of good the Russo
Turkish war has accomplished. It has
practically pu. an end to the barbaIous
rule OF the Turk in Europe. Happily,
in doing this 1t has not added to the al
mos, equally baIbarous rule Of the CzaI
Of Russia.

GEN. SCOTT'S DAUGHTER.
The True Story Of Her Love Affair, Be.
fore Entering q Convent.

Correspondence Philapelphia Times:
In the gossip which followed the az
nouncement that General Sherman's
son had left for Europe to become u
Catholic priest, a story was told of
the romantic circumstances attending
the career of one of General Winfield
Scots daughters, who died in the Con-
vent Of the Visitation at Georgetown.
This story was to the effect that Miss
Scott fell deeply in love with m attache
of foreign legation, who loved sincerely
in return. The match was opposed by
General Scott, and through his instru-
mentality broken oil. She went heart
broken to convent, and he prepared
himself and was admitted to the priest
hood. In course of time he was ordered
to Georgetown College, and a portion Of
his duties consisted in hearing the con-
LESSONS of the nuns ut the college. On
one of these, occasions Miss Scott knelt
in the confessional to her former lover.
Each recognized the other. She tainted,
went into rapid decline and soon died.
lie left the country. #. '4f.s .,H .
The true story of the affair, as related
by a friend Of the family Of General
Scott, is much less romantic than the
tale of the gossips. Nearly forty years
ago Mrs. General Scott was living in
Paris with her family, the younger
daughters being pupils in the Convent
of the Sacred Heart. She moved in the
highest circles of Partisan society, and
her eldest daughter was known, because
Of her exceeding beauty and culture,
as " La belle Americana" A French
man, Of excellent family and consider
able wealth, fell in love with Miss Scott.
His affection was reciprocated and with
the consent of Mrs. Scott, an engage
ment Of marriage was maize. In visit
ing the Convent of the Sacred heart,
where her young sisters were at school,
Miss Scott became deeply impressed
with the holy life of the Sisters. In a
comparatively short time she was con-
verted and determined to devote her
life to the church. She sought and OBJ
tanned q release from her engagement.
What became of her lover is not known,
beyond the fact that he never left
Europe. He was reported to have
joined religious order in Rome. Miss
Scott returned to the United States with
her mother shorty afterwards, and was
admitted to the Convent of the Vista
ton at Georgetown. She was in delicate
health when on the I'd of October, 1914,
she received the habit fthe novice, and
on the Goth of august, 1945, she died of
consumption. .t.f .......s..

Gather Up Iafsrnla{isn.'

Al the present moment, when the
question Of immigration. from towns
and cities to the unsettled or newly set
tied Western Territories and the
Southern States is the subject of much
debate, a want Of: definite, authoritive
Information is felt MS to where emigrants
are wanted and what they may expect
to find when they get there, how much
money it is necessary to have to begin
work with a fair chance of making n
living, and such details rs may guide a
man who does not wish to put his faith
IN the rose-colored statements of the
agents of private emigration societies.
The climate Of some places NAV be
fatal to families who would thrive a
Thousand miles to the north or to the
south. In one part of Texas blacksmiths
may be wanted, while millers have not
enough to do; in another part the re-
verse may be the case. II is true that
books have been published from time to
time, giving such accounts of different
parts Of the West and of the South, to-
gether with the minute information as
to the means and cost of the journey,
but the circulation of such books is
small. For a private society to under
take such work is only possible on
small scale. Although the Evening Post
Is against putting work into the Govern
ment's hands which can be done by
private persons or corporations, the
task of gathering such information as is
desired by would-be emigrants, is some
thing which can be easily done by the
Government without, it seems to us,
any violation ofprinciple. Our Consuls
IN foreign ports make frequent reports
concerning the state Of commerce, the
wants, the business chances and so forth
in the places to which they are sent;
these reports are undoubtedly of value
to manufacturers and merchants seek
ing new markets for their goods. Why
should not the Government servants in
the rural parts of the Western and
Southern States undertake similar
work? The postmasters might sum ny
the state Of affairs in his district once II
month on n single sheet of foolscap
paper. The labor would not be worth
mentioning, whilc valuable body Of
information could be accumulated. The

OLD as Sam Hill but mighty good
A lady reached the passenger depot in
Dayton, Ohio, the other day, just as the
train she intended to take was leaving,
and as she stood almost crying with
vexation on the platform, gentleman
arrived at the depot on a fall run, with
his carpetbag in his hand, his coat on
his arm and his face streaming with
perspiration. As he looked on the
train now fast moving away, he sat
down on his carpetbag, wiped his face
and deliberately and emphatically said,
ON that train !" The lady heard him,
and smiling upon him with all a lady's
sweetness, said, "Thank you sir"
