Among the presidential adherents,
Conkling has cveated an alarming state of
affairs in New York. The New York
Tribune thus means over the situation;
but 10 speaking for the whole Union"
the Tribune unconsciously is guilty Of a
piece of "unparalle insolence" as grave, if
not more so, than that which it charges up:
on Coukling 1t says:
Every mail brings fresh evidences Of the
deep resentment with which the stipend
Gus folly aud unparalleled Insolence of Mr..
COnkling haYe filled the nation. 1t is not
only the state OF New York which is ro used
TO anger; the whole Union joins in the
chorus of denuncatiOn. The timid apologies
aud mild approvals hiDted heresand there
by admirers Of the senator. and enemies
OF the president, are so few and inconsd.
cradle that we may say there is virtually
not dissenting voice. There has been no
such demonstration of political agreement
since the exciting days of the war. There
has been no occasion, since the safety Of
the Union was at stake, when the people
repudiated so emphatically the authority
of partizans and faction leaders, and made
their own right instincts the national rule
OF action.

sentatives, said on Monday that he had
received the credentials of representatives

tricts except the IVth California (Pacheco

fornia district have been given to Pach-
eco. He also alluded to the Florida and
Colorado representatives whose names
have not yet been placed upon the roll, The
contestants having asked permission to lay
more papers before the clerk of the house
to which request he has acceded. Mr.
Adams said that he had reached his con
Clusions in these cases, and would place tn,
democratic representatives on the roll
leaving the contest to be determined in tn
house. The exact majority Mr.. Adam
is not yet prepared to give, though he say
it will not be less that twelve. The Cali
fornia and Missouri cases will make a dill
ference Of four.

A final interview with the president,
on Monday, Spotted Tail remarked that
he would like supply of short-horned cat
tie, Catholic priests, overcUats, saw and
grist mills, agricultural implements, seeds,
and five or six stores, so his people could
buy cheaper at one than at another. :"
Mr.. Hayes referred them to the interior
department for such things as the appro-
priations would warrant. He also inform
ed them that it was considered too late in
the season to remove the agencies, and
advised the chiefs to gather their people
as near the present supply points as possi-
BILE. 10 the spring, he said, the agencies
would be removed to the mouth of the
White river. Red Cloud expressed an
apprehension that if he should go to the
Missouri. the long tailed rats would get
into his boxes" and destroy the contents.
But the president evidently thinks the
long-tailed water rats cannot be more de-
structive than the land rats of the Indian
ring, for the old chiefs remonstrance re-
ceived no attention. Chicago Times.

How He Got into Trouble at a Millinery
Shop.

Sanders is great wnker. He can't talk
to you two minutes without enforcing his
point with drop of one of his upper eye
lids; he never takes letter out of the
office without winking at one of the clerks;
he winks when he duns you, and gives you
a sly one when he pays a bill. When he
meets and greets you on the street, it is al
ways with significant closing of the left
eye, and when he has a stunning piece of
news to tell you, his wink is one of the
gravest import. The world moved along
smoothly enough with Sanders until last
Friday. Up to that time, he had gone
winking and blinking along peacefully
enough, and no clouds had obscured his
happiness; but a pail is hanging over San
ders now, and life has no charms for him.
It's all his wife's fault, he says. She had
no business sending him to a millinery
store. She wanted a bow to match one on
her hat, and she started Sanders off to pro-
cure it. He entered the store whistling,
and when one of the shop girls approached
and said, Good morning" he winked and
replied, 1" Good morning."
The girl blushed and looked nervous;
Sanders displayed the bow and said:
SCOT anything to match that ?" and
winked again. The girl vanished to the
Sanders to stare after her in OPEN mouthed
wonder. In minute or two the boss mil
liner, who had been informed of his actions,
appeared. She was highly indignant, and
as she slammed the door behind her she
said "Sir-'
GOOD morning, madam" said Sanders.
" Fine day, amt it, now?" and wink was
unconsciously slung at the lady. She
bridled up instantly.
"Sir. the conduct
"Of that girln' interrupted Sanders
"Oh, that's all right; never mind her
little bashful, eh ?''
Another tremendous wink.
81 cannot permit such conduct, sir. 1t
is shameful aud insulting"
Not at all; not at ALL" says Sanders,
still off the track. "Don't say another
word; we understand each other"
Another potentous wink.
The milliner vanishes, slamming the back
door behind her, and Sanders sinks into
seat, calculating: "Well, I'll be doggoned"
