MIR. CONRlING's RETURN.

A good deal Of speculation is atioat as
to the cause of the sudden return from Eu-
rope of the Hon. Roscoe Conk'ing, who
is now on the ocean nearing this port
Judging from the speech Mr.. Conklng
made to the enthusiastic friends who es-
corted him dowl the harbor when he
sailed, he contemplated sejourn abroad
until she summer heats were over and we
had got we'll into the cool breezes OF the
autumn. This announcement seemed ut
and natural. The Senator was worn and
iaded with severe toll. His medical ad-
wiser had prescribed absolute rest from
the exhaustions of professional and pollti-
cal strife, and tosr as extended as the
exigency of the approaching meeting OF
Congress would permit. The distinguish
ed patient inhaled the prescriptions as
GOOD diners out swallow tavorlte VINE !;
and on the day of his departure, with the
vista Of his foreign tour opening before
him, his step was as elastic and his spirits
as buoyant as boys.
ssWhy, then, this change Of programme
One or two Republican journals say he Is
ing home to look after cause or TWO
at one of the rural circuits or speciai
terms. some contest between John Doe
and Richard Roe over Il promisSory note
or the title to bog meadow. This Is
worse than absurd. Mr.. Conkliug went
beyond the sea partly 10 be rid OF all
tenptation toward being drawn by old
clients into such little Quarrcls. Others
say he cuts short his European tour In
order TO give counsel and aid to MS
| friends III respec; 10 the coming kepubIl-
can State Convention. This hardly meets
the case. for he must have considered this
before he resolved upon going abroad.
still others assert that he is Fastening back
to look after the appointments IN the New
York Custom House. With Hayes IN the
White House, Eyarts in the State Depart
ment, and Sherman at the head OF the
Treasury, we fancy Mr.. Conkting viii not
mingle in that small squsbble.
This is all mistake Mr.. ConStms

sscrOwded 20 Death, >,

Some writer in the Virginia City
New Enterprise tells the following
story: 'EHe was a middle-aged man
when in 1888 he settled near where
Portland, Oregon, now is. He had
tried civilization and was wearied
with it. He had sold his little prop
erty in the East, and with a few
horses, cows, and dogs, had thread
ed the dangerous way from the Mis-
souri, river, Oregon, and there, un-
der the shadow of the Cascades and
beside the beautiful Willamette,
paused and said to himself, 4 shall
have no more trouble; can stay
here with my dogs, my rife, and my
own soul for company, and none will
molest me. For while he was en-
tirely happy, but at length one
stranger after another made his APP
pearanee, and one morning the man
who had journeyed so far to be alone
woke up to find that a town was be-
ing laid out near his cabin. He call
ed his dogs, and, remembe bering a
beautiful spot that he passed over
on his journey West, he retraced his
steps, threaded the mighty canon of
the Columbia, and built another ca
bin where The Dalles now is. Here
he felt secure. The disturbers who
broke up his home on the William
cite had reached him from the sea.
He said now toshimself:-It will be
years and years before they find me
here For a good smany years be
enjoyed his dream. Game was
plenty, the scenery was glorious, the
soil was rich, and the man, now,
grown old, was happy. But one
morning as he satin his nut a strange
sound broke the stiffness, and going
to the door, 10! in the great river a
steamboat was putting against the
current, and in few days another
town was in course of construction
around him. Again he moved, and
this time did not pause until he had |
reached the Umpcua country. 1t
was all utter wilderness, and he told |
his dogs that at last they were safe.
He built another cabin and settled |
down for life. For year or two
he was undisturbed, but one day |
some strange men, with strange in
struments, crossed his ground, stop
ped every iew rods looking through |
their instruments and taking notes.
1t disturbed the old man little, but
at last he said they were but govern
ment surveyors-he should see no
more for years. But before many
weeks a gang of wOrkmen came
right across his fayorite field; they
threw up an evenly graded road, and
within fortnight a locomotive came
by. Then the old man
gave up. His dogs, too, seemed to
understand that there was no more
use in trying. One after the other
died, the game was driven away,
and one morning as the cabin-door
Of the old man was pushed open be
was found dead, aud on the smoky
wall, written with charcoal, was
found this sentence: They crowd
ed me to death This coast is full
IF these men. They tried at first
he fiery competitions of business
md failed, and then, turning to ma
ure as their old friend, tried TO hide
rom mankind. We presume that
Ill new lands are full of such histo-
les of gentle, kindly lives, which,
of and chatting at the attri-
ions of civilized life, at last stole
way to live alone for long time

The present Democratic party in
Congress was characterized by wild
er confusion and disorder than ever
was perpetrated by party madness
at the heel of session Of Congress.
They insulted their speaker, voted
Tilden elected hv 1876 electoral
votes, cast all sorts Of Odium upon
the Commission, devided their OWL
party by their vehemence and viO-
lence, had a fight between Lamar
and McDugall that, but for interfrr-
ance, would have ended in the shoot
ing, and perhaps the killing of the
latter, used the desks of the mem
bers as a causeway across the hall.
and as a climax to this lunacy, the
party in the Ohio House, upon the
announcement of the election of
Hayes and Wheeler, arraigned Al
mighty God for permitting such a
result and on motion by Mr.. Bren-
nan, formally passed the following
preamble and resolution:
hEhEAS, Dy lEduu, perjury, anu tHS
most despicable practices known even to
pickpockets, r. B. Hayes has secured 1856
Electoral votes, thereby becoming the rul-
er of disgraced nation: therefore,
Resolved, That we are sorry for it, be-
cause it destroys our faith in the mercy,
Justice and beneficent goodness of Al
mighty God, whom We have been taught
to believe was the defender and protector
of right-in this, that lie has allowed
fraud. villainy and moral perjury to tri-
umph over truth, honesty and virtue,
There is a saying that every peo-
pie makes its god after its own
image. The Democratic god is one
who carries elections for that party,
in the North by the agencies of bal
lOt-box stufing and repeating, and
through these, supplemented by the
shot gun and revolver and the
mounted rifle clubs in the South.
When all these fail to bring in
Democrat, they solumnly pronounce
God failure, and blasphemously
withdraw confidence in, and depend
ance upon him.

Testing Her Affections.

Mr.. Thorpe is a middle-aged wild
over, and some time ago he paid his
distresses TO Mrs. Bolts, a widow on
the shady side of forty. Thorpe is
rich, and after the widow accepted
him, he began to fear that maybe
she had taken him for his money,
and so he concluded to test her to as
certain if she really loved him for
himself alone. So one evening,
when they were sitting together in

great argument in the Florida case:

"Oh, yes" rejoined Thurman, ''the

On the same occasion said IlOar to
Garfield: "Have You many men like
Matthews in Ohio?" Garfield re-
piled humorously: ''No, not a great
many; Matthews, 1 think, Is a little
above the average" To which Hoar
replied: "Well, sir, we have no such
