The most Yoseate accounts are given of the' cordiality of Bismarck's greeting, awl sanguine hopes are bnllt upon Roeebery's conference with Count SchouVhMF*|d Count Von Hatxfoldt. , It has all atoi% %Men gammed that if Bismarck chose he could compel peace between Russia "«* England upon terms which it would not dishonor the fatter to accept. The question as to whether be would do so hinged on the other question whether he or the German empire had anything to gain by such a solution pr anything to loae by allowing the two nations to exhaust themselves in war. Up to the presont time it has seemed a, though Germany would have little interDs. in eiihor side of the An£io-Russian contention.

"Hattie was our only child," he said to a reporter. "We called bar Hattie, but at Dundee academy she went among her school mates aa Berthine. She was a student all her life, and never worked at home. Her ambition was to be a scholar, and we indulged her in her purpose. She was always reading and studying. She was taking six studios at Hornby at once before she went to Corning Union school, three years ago. She had been working too hard, apd at her first examination in Corning she was embarrassed and missed some questions, and wa? put into a lower grade. That evening she walked half a mile to Gibeon, and stood upon a bridge looking down upon the Chei.ong river, which falls in cascades there. There had recently been three suicides by drowning in Corning and they may have influenced my daughter. She thought of throwing herself off the bridge, but before morning she returned to Corn|ihg. Slie confided to a schoolmate that she had thought of drowning ber' self. She made the glfl promise not to tell, but the girl, who lived in the family of the late Dr. Graves, of Corning, believed it her duty to tell the doctor of tbe condition of Hattie's mind. Through Dr. Graves X learned of my daughter's intention. I talked to her about It, add she premised me she would entertain no such thoughts again. She believed, though, that if a person was discouraged and tired of living he was justified in »«"Mng his life, and that suicide was not wicked. Sometime ago courteous letters of inquiry were received by parties living here. The writer asked far information concerning tbe family of one Christ Roynold*. Developments followed until it was learned that Mr. Christopher Reynolds still lived, having amassed a comfortable fortune. lie now says he longs for the companionship of his daughter, who he wishes to go to him. To her friends, it is said, Miss Reynolils hoc signified her intention of leaving Centralia and casting her lot with the father she bar never known. Mr. Reynolds is said to bo in Arkansas. The Brooks bill, to regulate and restrain the rale of intoxicating drinks, came np on tliiid reading. Several attempts to amend wue made, but met with no success.

A t the evening session of tha House tha Brllitt bill passed finally, 144 to IS. tional amendment by both homes of the Ithodo Island legislature is a gratifying sign of advance in public sentiment, and encourages special effort to secure similar action in that state nvxt winter. Karlli; at Jerome l'art. lucre are good reasons for believing that Bismarck eagerly desire tha restoration of Itinni* Pn»! a to the throno of Egypt, and tLrt her consent to this arrangem-nt, which in uns practically the ox Unction of English influence in Egypt, is tlie price which England has to pay for Germany's good offices with Russia. When Ismail IVha was deposed, at the instigation of England and France, In 1879, Uepnany's interest in oriental a#aln was vary small. During the past lew yean It has grown immensely. It is now the pat ambition of Bismarck and of Crown Prince Frederick William to make Germany a great colonial power. Jtany of her coloafting enterprises are located In Africa, and it would be co their Advantage for Germany to have cxtatrol of . As moat important country as the tool of Bismarck, and it is said that he has already fivw. pledge* to that effect. 1mii*l himself ftas been known to be intrigui' g very actively for year* past to secure his return to the throne of Egypt, although nominally bankruptcy the surrender of all his pari payment on that osptlnent Bismarctk's intorest in Egyptian affairs has Been strikingly shown within the past few weeks by the coarse of the German delegate to the Soea canal oonferenoe, and in many other ways. If Ismail Pasha is to be restored it may be taken for granted that it will bo at tho expense of British bondholdars. He has lived with his harem in regal splendor ever sineo his retirement, and has spent monsy like water in bribing newspapers and politicians througu out Europe to support his cause. The project of Ismail's restoration is said to have the approval of Austria, France and Italy. The French are impelled to support Bismarck's programme on general principles by their jealosy of English predominance in Egypt, and by tho belief that the interests of French bondholders would be at least as wttl. protoctel by Germany as by England." Italy is said to have hesitated until England announced her Intention of evacuating Egygt, and coolly ignored Italy's claims by proposing that Turkey should henceforth gsyrrison the country. 4.

That our thanks are due to Senator Hoar for his efforts m con-rress for a Sixteenth amendment, and to Governor Robie, of Maine, for recommending woman suffrage iu his annual message; and to the senators and representatives of New England who have voted aad paired this year in our favor. 8. That ws rejoice in the rapid progress of our causo in the west, and especially upon the enactment of -woman suffrage by the Dakota legislature, although afterwards vetoed by the governor, and we trust that Dakota will not be admitted »■ a stato until woman suffrage is embodied in its constitution. i  New York, May 27.—Tho first race at Jerome" park was for inajdoafl, over threequart'irs. of a mi le.

Lillian was at witness' house about two yenra ago. She stole away from home and spent a week with her. Llllif.n was not allowed to visit the witness or her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Walker.

In it she said: "If suicide were not a sin, how soon the lingering spark at my life would vanish. But I will wait God's own time. I know ho is fast, and will see that you, and I, too, fhjdl be righted." She had heard Lillian talk ~about suicide, and had advised her not to talk so. Witness had always urged her to be reconcile 3 to her life, and to remain with her parent* until she was twenty-one years old. The Rev. John W. Ryland, of Tflrtt!)—t county, was sworn.
