Senator-elect Evarts is one OF the most

the Lotos Club in New York Saturday
night, and made one OF his happiesr
efforts. Said he, among other neat things,
at is impossible for me to add anything
to what has been said in my favor; and it
is not becoming in me to detract anything

Emo in Quebec.

John L. Emo Is apparently becoming
acclimatlzed. Clad in heavy driving
coat of raccOon fur, with sealskin cap,
the eX-President of the Second National
Bank. New York, is to be seen daily on
St. Louis street behind splendid span
of bay mares on his way to the St.
Louis Hotel from his house in the coun-
try. The hostelry, which served for
some weeks as John C.'s prison, still
| possesses for him considerable attrac-
ton, for there he ordinarily spends two
or three hours day There also his
daily mail is delivered, and scarcely
| day passes that he does not call himself
for his letters and papers. Emo ex-
| presses himself as charmed with the
Canadian winter, and his children. who
suffered severely one after another with
typhoid and other low fevers while thev
remained in the hotel, have never en-
Joyed better health than since they re-
moved to the country. The new resi-
dence of the ex-President was for many
years the elegant abode of r. r. Dobeli,
Quebec's leading lumber merchant. who
has gone to reside in England for a
term of Years. Mr.. Dobell is a son-in-
law of Sir David Mcpherson, President
of the Senate, and has leased his prop
erty at BeauvOir to Mr.. Emo. or, rather,
to Mrs. Wood, his sister. for 1880 a
year. Beauvoir is beautifully situated
three miles from the city on the St
Louis road, and in ,ne midst of beauti-
full grounds laid out in groves and
lawns, with conseIvatories, etc, the
whole overlooking the St. Lawrence.
He has for near neighbOrs the Lieuten-
ant-Governor for the province and Mr.
j. NJ. Lemoine, the Canadian natural
lst and author and intimate friend of
MIR. Francis Parkman of Boston.
Mrs. Emo appears TO go out but little, !
and Is seldom met here in society. John |
I. on the other hand cannot be very |
much at home. He has joined what is
known as the Merchants Club in St. |
Rock 5 suburbs, an organization COM
posed almost exclusively of French
canadians, but he has not ventured his |
name before the committee of the Gar
rlSon Club, an uptown and military or
ganlzatlon noted fer the exceptional ex-
cluslyeness of its members. John c.
has spent two or three evenings week
Tor the last few weeks playing a billiard
tournament held under the auspices of
the Merchants Club. Against him
were pitted nine of the best players in
the city. Emo won every game he play
ed and carried off the prize, a medal
valued at $50 He gave $50 himself to
form second prizS
The ex-President is frequent attend
ant upon the performances of the Dime
Museum and sometimes brings Mrs.
Emo with him. 4 few evenings ago he
gave an elegant dinner at his country
house to the lawyers who defended him

,eedingS and TO other friends, some of /,

Notwithstanding the earnest protesta-
ion of friends, who are continually

Italy is in active preparation to co-ope-
rate with England in Egypt. Turkey is
hostile to Italy S intermeddling, and threat
ems to send feet and troops to counteract
it. France and Russia are backing Tur-
key and prodding her to action. The
whole Mohommedan world is likely to be
in arms before England can gather her
forces and resources to strike the first
blow. The British blunder in Egypt is
very likely, from present appearances, to
result in great European-Asiatic-Atrican

The legislature of Oregon is paid fol
forty-days session. 1t has spent it.
forty days in trying to elect q. S. sen
ator. 1t adopted resolution the other
day for adjournment on last Friday al
midnight, which was the limit of the forty
days. Before the midnight arrived, the
Republicans, who are a majority in both
houses, rescinded the resolution. The
Democrats were incensed at this, and
there was row that for d time threatened
bloodshed. But the two houses finally got
themselves adjourned to 10 o'clock Satur-
day morning The Democrats caucused
and resolved to leave at o'clock in the
morning, and thus prevent a quorum, and
they left. The Republicans met in joint
convention in the afternoon to vote again
for senator, but, there not being a quorum,
the convention dissolved, and the legisla-
ture melted away sine die. There is d.
vision of opinion as to whether the gov
ernor can now appoint senator. Good
lawyers, as usual, think both ways.

population of about 8, ,0OO,0O0 This in
cludes the Cape of Good Hope, taken
from the Dutch in 1895, given back to
them at the peace of Amiens in 1902,
and retaken in 1906, to which was add

of course, the biggest British possession

there, are under the British flag. in
cluding territory on the Gold Coast, be-
tween Ashantee and the sea, and some
at Sierra Leone, adjoining the .'Native
Christian State" of Liberia. Quite re-
Gently the English, too. have annexed
what is known as the Delta of the Niger.

miles long. This annexation makes the
Niger British river; but upon either
side of the newly acquired strip of
coast the German eagle has been plant
ed-oEe side of the famous CAMERON
Mountain being in German and the
other in British hands. The planting
of the German flag in Africa-quite a
new departure for the Man of Blood
and Iron-is bound to have a most i'm
portant effect upon the future of the
Ozark Continent. Bismarck has at
present only about 10000 square miles,
with a population of about $4,000, in
Africa; but there is no question that
ever since DR.. Nachtigal hoisted the
German standard on the west coast.
there has been new power with which
other land-grabbing nations will have
to reckon. One of the German strips
adjoins the Cape Colony ami was few
years ago upon the point of being an
nexed by the English colonial authori- |
ties. 1t includes Mamayum and Da-
mara, and will no doubt prove a very
center for German coloniza- |
ton. The Niger is navigable for nearly |
its whole length and leads to the fam
Gus town of imbuctu-Timbuctoo of |
the noted rhyme. 1t leads onward also
to the farthest point which the French
have reached from st. Louis-Bamako, /
some 700 miles inland, and the site of
French fort. English, French and Ger

this paragraph: What has made

httle; not inherited wealth, for he was
born poor; not friends, for he had as
few as most poor boys: but persistent
thinking on what he saw around him."

people who have in various places seen and
heard her.
That such lady should have admirers
was not at all to be wondered at, but that
she should be prosecuted by them was not
BY any means regarded as matter OF
course. But one of those fellows known
as "mashers, who goes by the
name of John P. Delphy and who is de-
scribed as a respectable young man, of
some accomplishments, but as physically
weak and puny, and in no respect worthy
of being considered Delphyc oracle, be-
came infatuated with Miss Johnston, with
out the least degree of encouragement or
permission on her part, and pursued her,
with affectionate missives by post, and by
following her whenever he had an oppor-
tunity, until his conduct became unendur-
able
Delphy, on being demonstrated with,
was so foolish as to defy Mr.. Johnston tc
prosecute him, claiming that he had not
in any way transgressed the law, and he
would have been threshed by Johnston had
he been large and strong enough for such
treatment. But, as the case was, Johnston
would have rendered himself liable to
prosecution for cruelty to animals, had he
bestowed upon the little chap the castiga-
ton he so richly deserved.
Delphy, however. became bolder and
more persistent from the immunity he en-
joyed, and at length he crowned series OF
impertinent and impudent acts by attempt
ing to kiss Miss Johnston, in the elevator
at the hotel at which she was boarding.
| This act filled the measure of Delphy' S
iniquity, and Mr.. Johnston at once prose
| cuted the fellow for assault ard battery,
and a long trial followed in a criminal
| court This trial was, as a matter of
course, very unpleasant ordeal for Miss
Johnston, lady Of culture and the most
refined feelings, but she maintained her
dignity throughout, and won the admira-
ton of all who saw and heard her. Her
evidence was given in quiet, firm, but
charming way, and it is pleasant thing
for her many friends to learn (from an edi-
torial in the Toledo Bee) that "the highest
compliments and the strongest testimony as
| regards her entire innocence in the unfor-
tunate affair came from the lips of the op-
posing counsel and the witnesses for the
defense" And her father, who assisted her
counsel, gave positive assurance of the
I fact that it was not the punishment Of the
unfortunate defendant that the prosecution
desired, but the full guarantee of relief in
the future"
Delphys defense was two-fold; to the
effect, first, that he had not done anything,
and secondly, that he was insane when he
did it. This was from the counseI's stand
point, Delphy claiming that he was sane
and that it would not be complimentary to
the lady to prove him otherwise.
The jury had a long sitting and weighed
the matter well, finally finding that the
defendent was not insane, and that he was
guilty of assault and battery. And the
Toledo Post thus figures up the cost of
Delphy's kiss:
