The o of the figure {san Armenian by birth, In addition to peing dark he ts bald-headed, jerky and very exci able. He came here four years ago, He cam togetaplace. Though only about forty years of cee @ las ten sinall children; the same number that, according to the old New England Primer, followed John Kogers, the martyr, to the stake, ls clan for an ofice lay in the fact that he had done some campaign work tn Missouri tn 1876—and fn the ten smail children, He trotted those children out on every occasion. He had pictures of each of them in his pocket, and also a group picture. He would show his photograph gallery to you, and tell when this one id the measies and the other the croup. He told President Hayes about these bairns. Secretary Evarts was as famillar with them all as if they had been bis own. The patriarch of these ten wanted to go abroad. it was @ year before he saw daylight. He was. then sent to a smaii commercial agency on the Continent. It took him just one week longer than two passages across the ocean to get back. In that week he bad gotten {nto trouble, He gave up the job, but wanted another. The ten children were trotted out agalp, and thelr his- Lory and helplessness again rehearsed to Prest- dent Hayes and Secretary Evarts. Secretary Evarts sald that he never had so much troupie with bis own large family of eleven. But the Armenian bung on. Hanging on was his strong hold. He conquered agam. They sent hin down on the Isthmus. He was back again in tive months. It took him two weeks’ passage each way. ‘The months he was sick with the Cha- gres fever, He came back as yeliow as a Pumpkin and sweariug streaks of blue. He cow-had a tale of woe to use in addition to the ten small children. He used it. Again he was provided for. He was sent by Mr. Evarts as Consul to the Fiji islands, He didn’t take the ten interesting Kids with him among the cannt- bals for precautionary reasons. Himself he re- garded as safe from any possibiliry of being Served up at a state dinner. He was right, He went to Fiji. Nothing was heard trom hii until about three weeks ago. He didn’t like ft at Fijiand has come back to see what. batter de can get. He is as yellow as when be came from the Isthmus and C) fever. -He has the protographs with him. He 1s now trotting out the ten small children to the view of President Garfield and Secretary Biaine in his effort to be transferred to a better paying and more Civilized post in the diplomatic service, RUSSIA AND THE NIBILISTS.—It is stated that Emperor Alexander Ill. will shortly issue a manifesto remitting trom 40 to 70 per cent of the money due from peasants in various dis- tricts of Russia for land allotte: to them when liberated from serfdom. The preliminary ja- dicial inquiry into the assassination of the Czar has been completed. Three men and one woman will be tried in connection with the crime. Two of the men have confessed to hav- ing participated in the regicide. A dispatch from London states that Russakoff, the man who threw the first bomb, is being tortured. Rochefort has been arrested at Geneva for Qpenly advocating assassination, and a num- ber of nthilist Ali Ms Se See cance from Russia will be sent ‘The Extra Session Talk GROWING BELIEF THAT IT WILL BE HELD. The extra session was the most general tople of conversation at the Capitol to-day, and on Dcth sides of the Sentate chamber the impression that one ts to be cailed prevailed. Some said the call would beissued by Wednesday, assemb- lpg Congress on the 15th of April, and others ‘that the date will ke near the middle of May. A Senatcr who was at tne White House and saw ¢@he President to-day sald to a STaw reporter. “there 13 nO doubr sdout the extra session.” Tle Senator sad ihe President gave him to a dejstand quite plainly that the matter had bee deteriniped. Representative Cox, of New York, who asked the President directly is regard to an exira sisson, excusing himself for so doing 91 1h} gTound that he wanted to go to Earopé if Con- €2€85 Was not to be called, told a Stax reporter that an EXTRA SESSION IS CERTAIN. Republican Senators all express the opinion that the session has been decided upon. 11 Is NOt lkely, however, that. Congress will be con- vened earlier than sometimein May. Tere are two vacancies to be tilled tu New York sud one in Maine, There isa report that Afr. Levi P. Morton, who was to-day confirmed as mio- ister to France, will not go abroad on that duty until after the extra session, but this is not gencrally credited. Mis friends have been urg- Ing his confirmation and one opinion is that he Will assume the duties of his new positton at anearly day. Should he, however, remaln in the House until after the extra session, there will be but one vacancy to flil in New York— that created by the death of Fernando Wood. The deme 18 naturally expect to elect a Wocd, while the repubiicans mnfident of tilling the seat vacated ‘rye. If 18 sald that Gov. Plaisied, of Maine, has declared that he will not order an eleciicn cf Frye’s successor until the governor of New York orders one to fli the late M Weoa'’s geat, It was rumored that republican governor of New York would not give theGemocrats a chance to fill the vacancy, and upon thts, It 1s sald, Gov, Platsted was communicated with, aud ifs power to deprive the republicans of a member pointed out. It 1s evident that the republicans are pretty gen- erally In favor of an extra session now: at Jeast, ost Of those whose duties take them to the Capitol. A republican satd to-day be un- derstood that Secretary Windom was opposed to an extra session, TRE ONLY SUDJECTS spoken of for consideration at the called ses- sion are the funding bill and the appointment of committees to go on an Investigating tour in the south, ‘The democrats declare that What was Keown as the Carlisle section 1a tue vetocd funding bill must be insisted upon. and if necessary made a party question, 4 A few, at least, of the democratic members elec! are opposed to that section, but tue over. whbelming majority favor if, and in a caueas on the question, would declare for tts supp: Most of the democrats maintain aiso that chet party ought to fllMbuster against the sending of Investigating Committers sonth.
