CONKLING rs Il MIN,
n'Plcture Of tho New York Republican
Boss.

Pen Picture of tho New York Republican
Personally Mr.. Conkling is perfect
type OF physical manhood. His absti-
nencc and temperance in all things
have given him wonderfully perfect
organism. AS in younger DAYS, so
now he avoids the dissipations of So
ciety. Hc rarely goes to dinner par
ties, and when he docs he never drinks
any wine. llc trains almost like an
athletic; is scrnpulous in his neatncss; {;
is thorough master Of fence and an
expert with the gloves. Few men
twenty years younger arc better gym
nasts. In Washington he lives very
quietly at Wormlcy's Hotel, where lie
receives very few callers who do not
have business with him. Rc avoids
the contact ofhis fellow men and seems
to court the mystcry.of which have
spoken at the opening of this letter.
tie loves good horse as we'll rs does
General Grant, and is.a better Judge of
one. fle drives to and from the Capt.
toi in light buggy, but he never
drives in the public thoroughtarcs.
He never drives down Pennsylvania
avenue, but takes one ofthc side streets
ieading more directly, if moro obscure
Ely, to his hotel. He docs not like
newspapers, and the correspondents in
Washington, asa rule, | fear, return
his dislikcs. He seems almost like O
figure that has stepped out of history
q public man, and nothing more, usc-
ful to the State in many ways and un-
tainted with personal dishonesty, but
with less ofcompanionablcncss and tho
gentle courtcsics of life than any other
man in the public service.
at his home III Utica ho lives a life
of seclusior! A gentleman Of that city
told me recently that during tho sum-
NOR vacation OF Congress ho never met
Mr.. Conkling III the street. Ho lives
in large double brick house in fash
lonable part of tho city, and but very
few people know what sort of home
life he leads within its doors. lie has
one child, q daughter, who was recent
~ married. In all places Mr.. Conk-
ling has preserved the mystery ofhis
private life, and has relied not on the
cultivation of his popularity, but OH
his own great powers, to secure his
political advancement. That he has
succeeded beyond almost every other
man of his timo proves how roafly
great those powers must be.
Although not given to tho waste of
time IN general society, Mr.. Conklimg
met and fell in lovo with Horatio Soy
mour's youngest sister, one Of tho best
born and most cultivated Of tho young
ladies of Central Now York. What
truth thereis IN the tradition that tho
Seymour family did not approve tho
match do not know. Probably they
did oppose the marriage Of tho taugh-
tor of their house with ono who was
not of tho landed families ofthe State.
1t Ia certain, however, that a reconcile
iation soon followed, for tho two fami-
lies havo always lived in concord and
amity.

the Piaro md Organ trade. All

ing instruments this year. America s
countless factories emit half supply

OF the past won't come again for

+, WE HAVE TiCS FAR heard OF No
opposition to the reelection of State
superintendent II. S. Thompson. In
this the party shows its wisdom. We
know Of no ono in the State better
qualified by nature than himself to
fulfill the arduous duties Of his Office
and to popularizo the system Of puhli,
instruction; while his residence at the
State Capital and the experience ac.
quircd by him during tho past two
terms increase his peculiar fitness for
the position. At least one term is
required to familiarizc ono with the
duties of the Office and tho details OF
the system. In rc-elccting Supcrin-
tcndent Thompson, the State will
realize the advantage Of skilled labor.
We trust he will be nominated bv

Thousands Of visitors from all parts
OF the world attend this spectacle.
The passion play is relic Of the Mid
d'o Ages, and is still part Of the
religion Of these simple people OF

character from the blasphcmous rep
rcscntation Of the same play, which
the public properly suppressed last
year in San Francisco.

The Ladies' In Prison.

The two managers OF The lnsOlyenf q" La
dies Deposit" Boston, were conducted to
.durance vile" on Saturday. They were
provided with cell in the women's tier.
and upon entering il they shed coplous and
bitter tears. Mrs. Gould complained OF n
severe pain in her heart. She said she
knew she would die if left in such Il dread
iul place, and, after receiving what words
of comfort ner friends and counsel could
afford, sent for physician, who had OF late
been in attendance on ber for heart
trouble. The physician came during
the evening and prescribed for her.
As the evening advanced she and Mrs.
Howe began to give up all hope OF obtaining
bail. Mrs. Gould said she deplored her pO-
sltion on account OF her two sons. She
said she was a widow, and had acted with
an honest and sincere conviction in per-
forming the duties assigned her at the bank.
and for which she was paid quarterly by
the owners, who also provided her with a
room and board. She did not know who
the "owners Of the deposit" were. and
neither could she tell what had become OF
all the money that had been taken at the
house on Brookline street. She was eX-
tremely sOlicilOus that her name should not
appear in print, as she was an honest wo-
man, who was not long destined for this
world. Mrs. Howe during the night seemed
very anxious to make her comfortable, and
did all she could for her.

PafhOs Of Divorce.

Gregory against Gregory was the titie OF
a st. Louis divorce case, which was varied
by an exciting incident last Friday. Mrs.
Gregory. whose examination was interrupt
ed by the remarks Of counsel bearing upon
the matter set up in the cross-biil, listened
with great interest TO the colloquy, and
kept her eyes steadily fixed upon her hus-
bands counsel. Her bosom heayed when
counsel argued upon the allegations OF fir
tation, and at length, unable to stifle her
emotions, she rose from the witness'chalr,
aud, throwing up her arms, with a
dramatic gesture and tone exclaimed :
"You will drive me crazy Would
you rob me Of that you have ruined my
character. My God! | cannot bear this.
Eugene, my husband, save me. save me 4"
These impassioned utterances produced a
great sensation in court, which was filled
with ladies, witnesses, and spectators. The
agonizing appeal TO the husband brought
him to his wife's side. He bent over her,
and did all in his power TO soothe and quiet
her. An elderly man who had accompa-
MED Mrs. Gregory to court also went Tor
ward. but the husband gave him TO under
stand that his wife having summoned him
to her side, he would allow no one else to
render any service ut that time. The ladies
in court were much affected by the scene,
and some began to sob. In the end the
proceedings were adjourned until morning.
