Washington, and of the senator promis-
ing her place and loaning her money
when the position had not been OBJ

goes on az folowo:
HE (Senator Stewart) was very cord
ial and friendly, even fatherly, towards
me. His venerable face prevented his
demonstrations of affection from being
as Offensive as they otherwise would
have been. He seated me on his sofa
and inquired after my bealth. AS l WAS
etill afflicted with malaria he said he
had a sure remedy which he took him
self. He made up dose in glass and
gave it to me to drink. 1t put ms to
sleep. When ] came to myself / found
he had taken advantage of me. sc-
cused him OF this crime and started to
leave the Office. He pleaded with me
not to make a scene, that he had
family at home; that he had been over
come with his attachment for me; that
he had obliged me 30 long, had worked
go hard to get me q position; had given
me money when my family were sick

not to do him the hreat injury OF ex.
posure. He assured me he had certain
and immediate prospects OF securing
permanent position for me for a large
ealary which would place me and my
children in comfort and beyond all want
in the future. His promises and AatteFy
fully overcame my indignation, and
consented to accept the permanent posi-
tion he was soon to have ready for me.

appointment it was not ready, but his
promises and f1attery were. He had
now acquired power over me, as had

Mrs. Glasscook then narrates the
