O'CONOR SILENT.

He Won't Tell What He Knows About
Refusing gN0minations-He is Prosecuted
by Reporters and Cannot be interviewed
any More.
The great political conundrum of the day is,
"What is Charles O'COn0r going to do about 1t ?"
Two or three dispatches relating to that gentle
mans supposed intentions, each almost contradic-
tory OF the Others appeared in yesterdays HERALD.
One came from Albany and was to the effect that
some nameless friends Of Mr.. OConor had given
assurance to somebody, also nameless, that they
were able to secure his acceptance Of the
SYRACUSE HoFFMAN-GREELEY DEMOCRATIC NoMI-
NATION
for Governor Of this State. Another came from
Chicago, quoting short letter from Mr.. O'C0nor
addressed to somebody who is likewise nameless,
and proclaiming his answering devotion to the
Louisville movement. Still another came from
Louisville giving Mr.. Blanton Duncan's cOntradc-
tion OF the rumOr that Mr. O'COnOr had deserted
the "BourbOn straight democrats, and telling
what Duncan knows about O'ConOr generally.
Fully confident, rom information previously re-
ceived that Mr.. O'Conor
rt WILL NOT ACCEPT
the GubernatOrial candidacy at the hands Of the
Greeley DEMOCRATS, and having no reason to be
ton Duncan or to the nameless gentleman
in Chicago, q HERALD reporter endeavored to set
al STes t rest Sy obtaining rg
own lips. He accordingly proceeded to Mr..
O'Conor's office on Wall street at noontime yester
day. As he entered the ante-rOOm he encountered
the great lawyer coming from his isprvate ONCE with
his hat on and prepared to 60 out. He was chat
ting with another gentleman and moving away
when his attendant In the office said, 'rhere Ia
reporter sir, who wants to see you"
Mr.. OCONOR moving away, without looking
back said, ~ told you won't see any reporters
can't see any reporters;" but as he turned to
pass the door he saw and recognized the HERALD
man, came back and said, In o kindly tone. "Oh,
you are tine gentleman who was speaking to me at
my house What is It you want to know todayf''
REPORTER producing copy ofthe HERALD)-I
just want you to look at couple OF short para
graphs here, Mr. O'Conor, and simply say whether
they are true or false.
Mr.. O'Conor glanced at the paper and said ''Oh
have seen them but have made up my mind not
to say whether those statements are true or not
There have been so many
STATEMENTS THAT ARE UNTRUE

Besides you are the only newspaper man ever

THE CAMPAIGN IN THE CITY.

The Liberal Republican Headquarters.
The dismal day had its usual effect on all the
political rendezvous yesterday. At the Glenham
Hotel there was but little work done and very few
visitors The most distinguished OF the latter were
Leonard SWEET, OF Illinois; Charles w. Brtt0n, Of
Virginia; Samuel J. Tilden and General Carlos But
terneld, OF New York; Samuel r. Cary Of Ohio; and
j. B. Parmenter, OF Troy. Mr.. Cary is on his way to
Maine to take an active part in the canvass In that
the Greeley side the call for the meeting at Bridge
port on Wednesday evening Is cited, 125 liberal re-
publcans having signed 1t. number OF letters
were received during the day enclosing the dollar"
subscription Which seems TO have become favor
ite vent for the patriotism OF the mass OF the
Greeley party from all sections OF the Union.
The following letter on the subject presents
very valuable suggestion-

From the San Francisco Bulletin.
Clarke, IN his Commentaries upon the
Old Testament, asserts his belief to be that
the serpent who tempted Eve was not a
serpent, but a monkey, and places the
foundation of that belief upon the facts
that the Hebrew word of the original text
means both monkey and serpent, that the
being who talked to Eve stood upright, land
that the monkey, though formed in every
respect to walk like human being, runs
on its hands and feet, and leafs the dust
of the earth.
further illustration of this theory oc-
Cured on Howard street Tuesday. A
venerable looking organ-grinder, accomra-
MED by an active little monkey, dressed in
red, was patiently turning OF his dilapi-
dated melodies for the benefit of couple
of servant girls, when he wa. suddenly
surrounded by a group of school children,
boys and girls, who at once became devoted
to the monkey. The latter seeing an APP
pie in the hands of one of the bows, sud
deRly ceased its gambols and snatchiug the
fruit ran nimbly up a tree just by. The
boy cried, and his companion laughed, while
the Italian alternately swore at and coaxed
the chatiering thief but in vain, until the
monkey, of It's own accord came swiftly
down, and, springing in front of pretty
little girl with long curls, deity took off
his jaunty cap, and bowling politely, hand
ed her the apple.
Now that monkey knew very well that
the pretty little descendant of Eve had nc
right to take the apple, and Of course could
only have'been actuated by the "arple .
instinct he had derived from his great an
cestor of the Garden of Eden fame.

From the JYnesviile Gazette, Jan %.
On Monday of last week, Miles Harris,
OF the town of Porter, came to town and
borrowed three thousand dollars of one of
our merchants, giving as security mort
gage OH farm owned by him. The money
was paid over to Mr.. Harris about eleven
o clock on Tuesday, and after receiving 1t
be proceeded to Thomas Grabams hotel,
on east Milwaukee street, where he re-
manned until after dinner, when he went
out and made some purchases, returning
again to supper. After supper he again
went out, saving that he was intending to
spend the night with Jessie Miles, in the
Second ward, and that he would leave his
team with Graham until the next morning
Thi. was the last seen of Mr.. Harris. He
did not 60 to Miles house, nor can any
trace be found of him. To-day members
of his family were in town, making in
quiries regarding him. but without success
They are unable to find the remotest clue
to his whereabouts, and are in great dis
tress regarding his fate. The circum-
stances IN the case are certainly calculated
TO awaken suspicious of foul play, but that
crime of SO great a magnitude could be
silently committed in our midst seem. i'm
possible. The most reasonable deduction
j. that Mr.. Harris has wandered away
from home IN state of mental alteration
He is mentioned by those who knew him
as man of n It exemplary habits, highly
respected la the community in which he
resides, and ba. not, 80 far as we can learn,
been subject to any mental weakness. For
several years past he has been residing
with his son, his wife having died seven
teen year. ago.

A life Saved.

Don Piatt tells the following touching
story:
A Sunday school superintendent, out in
Alaska, treated his entire charge to a sleigh
ride. There were just forty-one of the
cherubs and slx-horse sleigh On the
way home they were beset by pack of
ferocious wolves. Cool and collected IN
that hour of fearful trial, the heroic super
intendent saw at a glance that he must
soon be oyertaken. In an instant his
quick mind grasped the only chance of es-
cape. Selling child that always sung,
" l cant to be an Angel" two notes 100
high, he flung it to the rapacious horde.
1t stayed their onward rush for moment.
Next came the urchin who never brought
any pennies to the heathens. And SO on
swept the pursued and pursuers until the last
infant was exhausted. But the brave fellow
had economical his material nobly. Aud,
besides, whole Sunday school slows off
pack of wolves perceptibly. We have al
ways noticed this. In another moment the
sleigh dashed into the village and the
grand, noble, hue-hearted man knee lie
