Conkling for Chief Justice.


The President has swung round the
circle and come back to his original choice
for Chief Justice. The dispatches say that
he has notified Senator CoNK11Na that
he intends to send in his name, and that
CoKKtGNo has signifed his acceptance.
Ihs shows that tho President is improv.
ing with practice. He is now informing
his candidates before hand. Nodoubt he
viii meet with success this time. We
presume that there is no letter on file
against CoNKLINs In the War Depart
ment, and that the Senate will probably
confirm his nomination. =
1t was understood months ago that the
New York Senator could have the place
II he desired 1t, butt seems that he did
not desire 1t. Being young, ambitious
and riSing mar, he had an aversion to going
on the retired list, Ills said that he has
aspirations to the Presidency, and per,
haps he leoks upon The Chief Justiceship,
with the fate Of CHASE before him, as the
grave OF Presidential aspirations. AT all
eVena he was not nominated, but did
everything in his power to have Cusn.
ING confirmed. This faithful service
seems to have again commended him to
the Presidents partality, and so great is
MS apparent desire to oblige the Presi-
dent that he has consented at last TO ac.

l never want another one. The cook.
ing apparatus was In the lunch room
near the bazaar, and 1t was all open to the
street. The cook was dirty, and so was
the table, and it had no cloth on it. The
fellow took mess Of sausage meat and
coated 1t around a wire, and laid 1t on q
charcoal fire to cook. When II was done
he laid 1t aside, and q dog walked sadly
in and nipped It. He smelt 1t first, and
probably recognized the remains Of some

and laid it before u.s. Brown SAID, ~

we all passedin turn. Then the cook
baked broad, fiat wheaton cake,
CREASED It well with the sausage, and
started to bring it to US, It drop

up and polished 1t on the seat ofshis
breeches, and 'isid.it before US. Brown

trying'pan and stood pensively pFying

q FORK, Then he used the fork to turn
the eggs with. and brought along.
Brown said, "Ipass." All followed suit.
We did not know what to do, and so we
ordered new ration oi-sausage., The
cook got out his wire, apportioned q
proper amountot sausage meat, spit on hts
hands and fell TO work. This Time, with
one accord we all passed out. We paid
