LETTER FROM SENATOR CONKL-
ING.

ROCHESTER,, Sept. 5.-Judge Tourgee
addressed large and enthusiastic audi
ence in this city Friday evening. His
speech abounded in sharp hits at the
democracy and witty illustrations. The
meeting was held under the auspices of
the Lincoln Club, the president of which
received the following letter from Sen
ator Conkling, dated at Utica, September
/:
Ny DEAR SIR:-I have yonr letter
about your meeting. When the 'Iincoln
Club moves anywhere, all know what it
means. The man who bore that name
and immortalized it died for being q Re
publican-those who take his name must
surely mean to keep the Republican faith.
The princil lles and the achievements of
the Republican party are at stake now,
not because particular candidates were
nominated, not because others were not.
but for broader, higher reasons, modified
only in degfee and manifestation. The
same forces which brought the republi-
can organization into existence, both the
forces which opposed and the forces which
supported 1.-THE same forces which have
required and those which have achieved
its ascendency, are still alive and strong.
1t stands for peace, order, equal rights
and freedom among men; and for safety
of property and labor. Those who com
pose it, and the communities and States
which uphold it. represent overwhelming
preponderance Of the material interests;
Of the country-the agricultural, product
i've, commercial and taxpaying interests;
and in every partnership it is wise and
safe for those who own most to keep their
share Of control. Whenever in bilsi-
ness concen-and the government Of
every country is 70 the hi hest sense a
business sconcern--money is to be expend-
ed or obligations are to be incurred, those
who are to do the paying had better do
the deciding, in the first place, whether
the thing is wise at all. In short, those
who have the right to do so, and whose
interests are greatest, had better keep the
staff'iu their own hands, especially in un-
settled, uncertain times, The one lesson,
fully understood, is enough of itself to
show the American people the grave haz-
ard at this time of putting in power the
Democratic party, dominated as it must
be. The Democratic nominee for Presi-
dent is an honorable man, and therefore
he will net try to defraud the party whose
nomination he has accepted of the results
implied by success. Knowing what the
results must be, though I cannot meet
the Republicans of Rochester on the
night you name, my earnest sympathy
Ho al!

lican column. Cordially yours,

A shrewd dealer in ice IN New York,
observing the course Of the ice companies
early in the Summer, telegraphed to a
dealer in Christianson, in Norway, who
sends large stock to the London market,
to dispatch ship-load to New York.
Monday a cargo between 600 and zoe
tons arrived, and the dealer was able to
sell it at the dock for 81 ton less than
the regular companies, and still make
good profit. The ice was in blocks very
evenly cut, "a by % inches. 1t was
amazingly clear, transparent as blocks of
fine glass, and free from impurities of
any kind.

the wreck craft will wholly bare up.
If they would simply trust the water to
sustain ninety-nine hundreths of the
weight Of their bodies, and the disabled
boat the other hundreth, they might all
be saved under most circumstances. An
overturned or water filled wooden boat
will sustain more people in this way than
it will carry. 1t would keep the heads
above water of as many people as could
get their hands on the gunwale. These
are simple facts easily learned, and may
some day save your life Chicago Times.

IT WAS often remarked during the war
that the worst and bitterest Of the rebels
at the south were women. Northerners
visiting the south of late years concur in
reporting that the bitterest of those in
the south to nurse the old rebel spite and
hate are women AT a republican meet
ing at Buxton, Me-, few nights since,
the speaker, Mr.. A. K. Brown, of Wash
ington, alluded to the rebel feelings still
prevailing among many Of the women of
the south, and alleged that one of them
recently exclaimed within hearing of his
daughter, who is one of the managers of
Mount Vernon: II hope to live to see
the Yankee soldiers bones at Arlington
taken up and thrown into the Potomac. :"
The diabolical spirit of the southern
women is responsible for much of the
continued southern cussedness.

A Mrs. Carr, of Pittsburgh, has be-
come insane, and; from one Of the straog-
est causes on record. About two weeks
ago, while asleep, she was either bitten
or stung by spider or some other insect,
and the next morning small, but very
much infamed, pimple was observed on
the spot where the wound was inflicted,
and the arm began to swell, and from
the wrist to the shoulder there were poi
soned blotches, the whole arm and side
having the appearance of being badly
burned. DR.. Rex was summoned, and
under his treatment the Inflammation was
reduced But about four days ago, eth
er from the effects of the poison or from
the shock to her nervous system, Mrs.
Carr became insane, and now she is a
raving maniac.

NOT FAVORABLE TO BUSINESS.
From the New York Graphic.

And we cannot blame men outside of
the net of partisan politics for asking
themselves whether the success of the
Democratic party will not jeopardize that
prosperity for longer or shorter period.
The probabilities are that General Han
cocks election would affect business un-
favorably. Between November and
March there may be doubt as to the final
result of the election, and between March
and the meeting of the new Congress, in
December, there would be doubt as to
what the Democrats would do with their
power. This would not be favorable to
business prosperity.

Clicked TO Death With Food.


Choked to death-slowly stranged
while sitting at the dinner table-aliye
and chatting Familiarity one minute and
the next ghastly livid corpse. Such
was the fate yesterday afternoon Of
Captain Charles l.. Pierce, II well.known
attorney of this city, who met his death
at the Farmers Hotel by swallowing
huge piece of beef which stuck in his
throat and killed him in less than three
minutes.
The unfortunate man had only been
in the house ten minutes. He dropped
in and asked to be supplied with a
meal. A plate was placed before him
and liberal supply of roast beef and
vegetables was served. 1t was noticed
that he attacked and devoured rather
than began to eat his dinner. In few
seconds hull in the captains conversa-
ton caused Mr.. Cummins to look up,
and, to his great surprise, Mr.. Pierce
was lying back in a chair with his eyes
distended and terrible look upon his
face. He hastily called his wife and
the pair tried to discover the cause of
the captains trouble. Medical aid was
sent for, and the chief Of police, who
was passing the door, was hurriedly
called in by Mrs. Cummins. In the
meanwhile the unfortunate mans life
was ebbing awav. His face had turned
red and black by turns, and when Mr.
Crowley entered he was nearly gone.
There was just faint pulsation, which
disappeared in a few seconds. Drs.
Robbins and Silliman arrived in few
minutes, but the vital spark had fled
the heart had ceased to beat and
Charlie Pierce was dead.
His body was laid upon the dining
room table and DIR. Robbins extracted
the unm asticated piece Of meat from
the gullet. 1t was over two inches long
and weighed about two Ounces, its
appearance being as if it had only been
bitten twice. Every effort was made
to resuscitate him. Artificial respira-
lion was tried, but all in vain.

QUAINT AND CURIOUS PROPOSALS.
When Lord Strangford sat down to
critlcise book oftravels by Miss Beau-
fort, he little dreamed that before long
he would write to the young authoresS:
81 was thinking the other day about a
communication from the Emperor Ak
bar to the king of Portugal, which con-
tanned request for copies of the holy
book of the Christians: In the world of
humanity, which is the mirror and re-
lection of the world of God, there is
nothing equal to love or comparable to
human affection For many years
have felt and known this, though nev.
er said it till to-day to any one. When
you next write, please give me the pos
sessive pronoun of the first person"

by the Scotch beadle, who led the manse

Or the lugubriously humorous Irish
lover, who took his girl to see the fam

if she would like to lay her bones beside

LAD1's PROPOSAL
If ladies sin against propriety in tax
ing the initiative, they can hardly be
blamed for bringing shilly-shallying
or over-bashful lover to point, when a
good opportunity presents itself. Such
an opportunity sutficed to end what had
been somewhat tedious courtship. The
young man, paying his usual evening
visit, asked his lady love how she got
along with her cooking.
"Nicely," replied she. Il am improv-
ing wonderfully, and make splendid
cake, now"

What kind of a cake do you like the

he.

there was nothing left for him but to
say that he meant wedding, too.
