There died in the hospital of the
Alms-house this evening woman who
was known on the register as Emma
thompson, but whose career a quarter
pf a century ago under the name of
Emma Jacobs had national notorietv
one was born in Lancaster County over
seventy years ago. Her life in Phila-
deipnla began at an early age, and it
was In this city that she started her re-
markable career. Her powers of fasci-
nation were marvellous, and some of the
most prominent men in the country
wed with each other to win her smile
and favor.
The amounts of money she received
from these men aggregated thousands
and thousands of dollars. Her beauty
is said by those who remember her in
her best days to have been of type
that compelled admiration from all who
saw her, and Daniel Webster said Of
her: 'She has the most perfect car
riage OF any woman / have ever seem"
She held court for gentlemen Of leisure
as well as lawyers and men of letters,
her house being the resort, at times, for
some OF the brightest intellects of the
country. eN
While Congress was IN session it was
her custom to go to Washington, and it
was there that some of her most re-
markable conquests occurred. She is
said to have completely fascinated at
least one President of the United States,
and nearly all the leading men in
Washington from 1850 to 1860 made
her rooms rendezvous. So great was
her influence over the members of Con-
gress that her value as a LOBBYIST was
known to corporations and individuals,
and many important bills were passed
through her instrumentality.
Probably the only man who ever won
her affection was preacher named I,
Thompson, Virginian, whom she
married. Thompson afterward lost his
reason and was placed in the insane
ward of the almshouse, where he died |
three years ago. Previous to this event
Mrs. Thompson's charms began to fade |
and she had disappeared from public
notice. Her old-time shrewdness seemed |
to disappear, and in few months |
she lost nearly all she had spent her
life in acquiring. Her properties on
Cherry street were gradually encum-
bered with mortgages, and finally, los
ing them, became absolutely in want.
During Thompson's incarceration in
the mad-house his wife visited him near
ly every visiting day, constantly sup
plying him with an abundance of deli
cacies. Her face was well known to |
the officials of the institution, and she |
was supposed to be worth considerable
money
On the 2Sth day of November, 1881,
she presented herself at the gateway of |
the institution, with the remark that |
she had come to stay. The gate-keeper |
was surprised, and refused to believe
her statement. at is true,' she said, |
and pulling out card of admission
signed by Guardian Chambers, she
handed it to the man and burst into
tears. She kept enough money to pay |
for funeral expenses. Philadelphia

Mirage on the Maine Coast.

A few days ago there was beautiful
mirage along the whole sea horizon.
The day had been warm and calm, and
to person standing at the waters edge
waves of heated air seemed to vibrate
with great intensity on the sea. Sud-
denly, at $50, the ocean assumed
wonderful appearance. Above the blue
horizon seemed suspended in air Sec
ond ocean, which faded away and
formed gray vapor that appeared like
an immense tidal wave and fell and rose
to a great height. Vessels before in
visible rose from below the horizon and
sailed in spectral procession through the
clouds. To the eastward Monhegan
rose high above Fisherman's Isle, and
kept company with ghostly island
covered with dense forest, which quiv-
cred far beyond Pemaquid A fleet of
schOOners south of Fisherman's Isle sud-
denly stretched upward in a grotesque
manner. A great heave in the atmos-
phere separated the masts, and the up
per sails scurried upward and dis
solved, only to appear again just above.
A seiner north of Damariscove was
quickly transformed into very levia-
than. Her sails changed from white to
gray, and swayed upward far above
Damariscove. But on Damariscove was
the most wonderful appearance seen.
To the south end of the island rose up
perpendicular columnar cliffs one hun
dred feet from the sea. The houses
were nearly hidden behind them. The
hill rolled together into mound, and
then unfolded to twice its real length.
just beyond the spectral cliffs the sea
broke on long ledge and the spray
leaped skyward with lightning rapidity.

grotesque shapes and danced and
upward to marvellous elastici-

tic spell invisible genii transformed

sions. The phenomena lasted till sun

Mysterious Disappearance Of n Deep RIv-
 CT Man.

Mysterious Disappearance Of n Deep Rtv-
 CT Man.
 The mysterious disappearance of John Hardy continues to be the chief topic of con- versation in Deep River. No motive can be assigned, or even surmised for his going away He had an excellent situation, was receiving extra high wages, his bills were all paid, and he had nearly half months pay due him. His books, of which he had val uable collection, were left scattered about the shop in Clinton where he worked and his clothes and other personal property left at his boarding house. He even left his trunk unlocked. On the evening of his disappearance, April 12, he attended the Odd Fellows lodge in Deep River, of which he was an officer. Early in the evening he excused himself for a mo- ment, saying that he would return. He went out and has neither been seen or heard from since. His friends in Vermont have been communicated with, but they have heard nothing from him. The Odd Fellows lodge. at 8 special meeting held on Tuesday evening last, voted to advertise for him in two daily papers, and to communicate with the various lodges iu the State in regard to the matter. He is supposed to have had some $75 in cash with him, and it has been suggested that he may possibly | have been foully dealt with, as it was known among his acquaintances that he was in the habit of carrying considerable money with him. The following is the description of him | by the lodge:
 "He is feet inches high, medium build \ dark hair and moustache, hair cut close 1T | the neck and lies flat on the forehead, necl rather long, with prominent larynz. Wher last seen he had on dark suit, mixed over \ coat, soft felt hat. Wears Camp pin. Ht ! is about 25 years old"

Obituary
Rev. Edwin Emerson Johnson. M. A.

Rev. Edwin Emerson Johnson m- A.
 The Rev. Prof. Edwin E. Johnson, of Trinity college, died Monday night at Il o'clock. after short illness Rather more than year ago he met with serious acci- dent at Stamford, falling from parapet in front of the parish building of St. Johns church and striking his head upon hitching pest The immediate consequences of the accident were not as serious as was at first feared, but it seems that it left results which affected his nervous system. A few weeks ago he complained of weakness and pain, which was attributed to the rheumatism from which he had been suffering. But he continued to dis charge his many duties until the day before the beginning of the recess at the college, Thursday of last week. Since that time he has been confined to his bed, the disease proving to be spinal paralysis, resulting in part from nervous exhaustion. The paralysis
 gradually extended from his lower extrenit- l ies, and hopes of his recovery were abandoned | on Monday. An account of his life and refer
 ence to his self sacrificing usefulness were
 made in our issue yesterday morning. He leaves many who will mourn his decease ID
 this city. The following editorial tribute wal
 made in yesterdays Hartford Courant:
 "The death of Professor Johnson, of Trin | ity college and rector of Trinity church, is ( | sad loss, both to the college and to the city | In his quiet, unostentatious and altogether | lovely way, he has exerted great influence for all things that are good. In the college l in the church, in the social circle, among tht
 poor and lowIy-everywhere where he wal | known-he has been power for everything
 that was purea lovely and an +S, o l very prime of life, and when it seem | impossible that he can be spared, he leave ] a sweet memory that will endure. Such life cannot be failure. It's benefcent frag ] rance will remain and will be felt in the live of those who have been blessed with his ac quaintance, long after the moss has grow on his tombstone"
 The Hartford Post says of him: 'tHe was | man of unbounded energy and the work h 1 accomplished is well understood If 1t IS re | membered that at one time he carried ol ! simultaneously the duties of professor o | rhetoric and English literature at Trinity literary editor of The Churchman and recto ! of Trinity church, besides doing much mis l celIaneous work. None of his dutie 1 were slighted as is commonly tn l case when one man assume ! the work of two or three. His departmen I at Trinity college was well-known for tn
 thoroughness and stimulating effect wit l which it was conducted. His parish dutle l were fulfilled in every detail and to the nor than satisfaction of his people. His lterar 1 work was large in amount and always fresh | able and thorough. AS man he had di l rect sympathy, genuine kindness, an acute ness and honesty of intellectual vision tha l made him loved and honored by all wh
 knew him in all walks of life and those wh'
 knew him best rated him highest"
