between the various rivals for party control
In New York. For three years the party has
been divided by clearly defined lines, into
Conkling men, Morgan men and Fenton men.
Fenton superseded Morgan, and Id
1867 when Conklng entered the Senate,
he was the leader of the party In New
York. Conklng, however, soon super
seeded him, by reason partly OF his
superior ability, and partly In consequence OF
belief that had taken possession OF Grant
that Fenton was intriguing to succeed him at
the expiration of his first term. Conkling
soon marched to the front, and in 1871 he
fully established his supremacy by signal
triumph in the Syracuse convention OF that
year, and has maintained his party ascend
ency from that time till the day Hayes en-
tered the White House. His first defeat was
the nomination Of Morgan over Cornell at
Saratoga, in 1876, by combination between
Weed, Morgan, Geo. VIM. Curtis, Evarts and
Woodin who 'served notice on Conkling to
step down and out.
When Hayes went into the White House
and placed Evarts in the State Department,
Conkling left for Europe, and. his enemies
consoled themselves with the belief that he
was whipped and had given up the fight. The
Rochester convention proves the delusion Of
this idea, and it only remains now to see
what use Conkling can make OF his triumph,
involving, as 1t does, the destruction Of his
party in the State.

IN MEMORIAM.

On Wednesday. september 10. 1877. ut ten min
utes past / o'clock In the evening. Capt. CON
RAD GREEN yielded unto God the life he lived
so nobly. Born and reared In our Crescent City.
what nobler requiem can we utter DER his grave
than this. He was one of Louisiana's truest
sons, one more of the heroes of that Lost Cause
gone to his long rest, from which no bugle
blast or drums hoarse beat shall wake him.
What consolation can we offer to the aged
mother who has lost such son. "The Lord
giveth and the Lord taketh away; blessed be the
name of the Lord" and grandmother. though
it may in thy grief seem but harsh decree, re-
member. God doeth all things we'll"
Who would wish to live nobler life: simple
yet grand with love of truth. to walk in honor's
path, and ne'er be deaf to PHYS cry, for he was
brave and therefore tender heated" The grave
hides him now; his virtues and faults are en-
shrined in loving hearts, his face and form
though lost to sight are still to memory DEAR
aud after God has given to each his portion
then shall we know that while he lived he
bore without abuse the grand old name of gen.
tleman." c. g. G.

quiet voice Of the girl was heard bidding her
little nephew not to be frightened, the strong
rapid dashing of the oars and the ripping
OF the waters as the clinker. Glove them in
it's rapid flight. The white clouds that had
lain so sweetly on the far off western hills
begun to rapidly dispense
Like wild doves scattered"
Then long trains Of tremulous mist began
TO creep from behind the Sugar Loaf Noun
tain and crawl across the farthest western end
Of the lake. The lightning shot through the
heavens and the rumbling Of the thunder and
rushing of distant winds joined in an awful
chorus Still the heavens that bent above
| the boat and the green waters through which
| it flew were calm and smooth. But the
| tempest was approaching nearer and nearer.
| The trains Of mist grew higher and wilder
until they seemed like Nereids of the deep
whose wavering limbs were bore along on
| the wind-swept stream with their white arms
| lifted over their streaming hair. La q mo-
ment more the full force OF the storm swept
past the mountain and spread across the
| lake, q boundless, baleful darkness, the quick
| Hastings of lightning seeming " like streaks
of hell fire auivering madly in its black,
baleful bosom" 1t paused O moment as II to
gather all it's power and resources and
| then 1t moved down the lake towards the
boat sweeping the heavens with it's terrible
banners, and rolling the waters under 1t
| into boiling, surging wall. The spectacle
! was terrible one to those In the boat; they
| lined by numbers of eager, anxious and fear
full watchers, and the tempest was not more
than q mile and half distant, sweeping
down upon them with the swiftness
| of the wind and the fury OF it's
| lightnings and It's thunders; the breeze was
already sweeping the girls masses Of tawney
hair, which had broken from their confine-
| ment and Hoated over her shoulders; the
waters were already wrinkled around the
boat. the swell of the waves was under 1t,
and flying fragments of black and angry
clouds, like skirmishers Of the hurricane,
were driving among the stars.
And nearer and nearer came the wild winds
and waters, now wrapped and mingled. to-
gether, and surging like twin monsters in q
furious struggle; but still the boat sped
onward she was within twenty yards
Of the landing; the lake was surging around
her, few strong strokes and she slid upon
the sloping wharf just as the winds and
waves and rain swept by, bearing along the
glad shouts Of the throng.
It had been a splendid chase OF the frail
boat by the tempest; but finer than the
| tempest was the girl, standing there with
disheveled hair, drenched garments and
painting breath, whose heart had sustained
her fair arms in the unequal contest. G. G.

A REMARKABLE AFFAIR.--Two tin boxes,
containing couple hundred Thousand dollars
worth of property, were stolen, Feb. 10th,
from the vaults of the banking house of
James G. Kings Sons, New York. They be-
longed to Mr. Richards A large reward
was offered for them but was unavailing, an
til one day last week they were returned by
the hands of small boy, who said that a
gentleman had given him dime in the street
to bring the box. Mr. Richards, being pres.
ent, opened the bank box, examined and
checked Off its contents with one Of Messrs
Kings head clerks, and found every single
item of his missing securities, stocks, bonds,
mortgages, accounts, bank books, Wills, every
thing. Mr.. Richards attributes their return
to the efficacy of prayer and says :--a have
never lost my faith in recovering this pro-
perty / have made it from the first, subject
of prayer, and believe in prayer; always
have believed in it and now here have
another answer to prayer"

THROAT CULTURE following from
Sturgeon, on "Clerical Throat applies as
well to all who use their voice in public II
you wish to ruin your threats you can speedily
do SO but If you wish to preserve them note
what is NOW laid before you. have often
compared the voice to a drum. If the drum
mer should always strike in one place on the
head Of the drum, the skin would soon wear
into hole ; but how much longer it would
have lasted him if he had varied his thump-
ing, and had used the entire surface Of the
drumhead So it is with q mans voice. II
he uses always the same tone, he will wear q
hole in that part of the throat, which is most
exercised in pronouneiug that monotone, and
very soon he will suffer from bronchitis I
have heard surgeons affirm thai Dissenting
bronchitis differs from the Church of England
article. Thcre is ecclesiastical twang which
is much admired in the establishment sort
of steeple-in-the- throat grandeur--an aristo-
cratic, theologic, parsonic, supernatural intra-
human mounting of language and rolling of
words.

DIET Fon COWS usrprIog.

DR.. M. L. Holbrock cautions those who are
inclined to consumption> that their bodies
should be properly fed. They should not
take food as medicine, but as nourshment
They should have the very best things to eat
they can get ard, fortunately, the best things
are not always the most expensive or difficult
to obtain. If it agree with them cup of
cream may very appropriately be taken every
day by those who are inclined to consump-
ton. Brown bread and milk and cream, oat-
meal and cream, eggs, with moderate use Of
beef and mutton, good butter and mealy
potatoes will, of themselves. constitute per-
feet diet. They should avoid nicl-naeks, and
fancy foods, and live on things substantial
and nourishing. Fruits should be used in
their season moderately.
Consumption is constitutional disease
showing poverty of blood and poverty of
healthy tissue. and this poverty must be
eradicated. 1t can be done partially by such
foods Us are needed to build up a strong,
healthy body and carry on all its functions.
Many physicians think that the disuse of fat
is cause of consumption and they prescribe
cod liver oil, not as medicine, but as food,
and. in many cases it has proved useful We
think, however, that it is the sedentary and
unnatural life people lead that has. most TODD
in causing so much consumption, and that
with this sedentary life comes feeble condi-
tion of body and brain favorable to the dis
ease. A wise physical education and abund-
ant wholesome nourishment would dissipatc
half the consumption in the world, and the
other half would soon be banished by some
other means. Consumption is a disease to be
avoided, not cured.
