THE CONKLING FAMILY.

SincesSenator Conkling has let the light
of his luminous intellect shine in the west,
the following sketch of him and his family
from the Hour will be appreciated here:
Senator Conkling was born in 1929 at
Albany, where his father, Judge Conklin,
then resided. He received an academic
education, studied law, and went to Utica
in 1896 There he has resided ever since.
Judge Conkling had three sons, Aurelian,
Roscoe and Frederick. They all grew to
be men of fine appearance and great
physical strength. Aurelian was the
largest of the brothers, being considerably
over six feet in height, broad shoulder
and of powerful build. Even in early
life they were all men of strong character,
of remarkable self-reliance, and inclined
to be disputatious They were politicians
before they were voters, and, as they ney-
er agreed about politics among themselves
it used to be said of them that they were
too Independent to belong to the same
party. Aurelian acted with the Demo-
cracy, while Roscoe was Whig, inclined
toward Sewardism, and Frederick "Sil-
yer Grey" Aurelian died many years
ago. Roscoe is at the head of the Repub-
lican party, and Col. Frederick A. Conk-
ling, after affiliating with liberal Repub-
licans, is now in accord with the demo
cracy. Roscoe Conkling became promi-
nent at the bar when quite young law
yer. He filled the Office of district attor-
ney in Oneida county in 1850, when only
twenty one years of age. He was mayor
of the city of Utica eight years later. He
was always an effective speaker, and took
an active part in politics. His boldness
made him popular with his associates of
his own age, while his dignified style and
sense recommended him to those of more
advanced years and wider experience. On
one occasion, when Roscoe was quite
young, his father, Judge Conkling, was
announced to speak at political meeting
in Livingston county. When he came

NEW ORLEANS WOMEN.

The New Orleans women proper is a
Gallo American, or rather an American
Gaul. She may never have been out OF
the country, or even out of the state; but
for all that she is an alien to the republic
in the sense that she has little knowledge
of it and less care for it and its affairs. II
Creole, or Creole descent or affinity, she
reads French newspapers, has French
habits and opinions, and she is essentially
French in mind and manner. She talks
English, though she thinks in French:
She is an inhabitant of the United States,
but citizen of Louisiana, especially of
its metropolis, most of her grand outings
being to adjacent parish es. Once in while
she may 20 to St. Louis or Mobile, OF
Charleston, or New York, but if she does
it is memorable event, and she regards
it as Chicagoan, Bostonian or New York
er would regard the circumnavigation of
the globe, journey to the interior of
Afghanistan or the heart of Africa.
Should the New Orleans women be young
especially should she be unmarried, she
may be graceful, though rarely slender
in figure, for plumpness and roundness
comes very early with her. She is usually
brunette. Her manners are, as rule,
superior to her person. 1t is marvellous
what she can achieve with bit of lace
half yard of ribbon or a few flowers.
The New Orleans woman is not very sub
stantially educated, but such education
as she has she can put to the best advant-
age.-New Orleans Picayune.

forward on the platform, the chairman in
troduced him as Judge Conkling, the
father of Roscoe Conkling." The Judges
dignity was offended, and after the meet
ing be took the chairman to task for the
manner of introduction. The cid saying
'1ike father like son." certainly holds
good in the Conkling family. The old
judge was proud, reserved and uncon-
cerned about the good opinion of others,
and his sons inherited this disposition.
Aurelian was the most companionable of
the three, but even he had an appearance
of haughtiness which was repellant to
strangers Roscoe Conkling's lofty bear
ing has been often criticised, yet his SEEM
ing arrogance disappears among his
friends, and he possesses in no ordinary
degree the qualities of charming COM
panion. He is q sturdy hater, and makes
no effort to conceal his feelings when he
dislikes person. tExpediency" is
word not to be found in his vocabulary.
He would not conceal or repress his true
feelings if the great object ofhis ambition
were the assured price of dissimulation.
His friendship is as steadfast and loyal
as his enmity is bold and incorporating.
He makes it rule of life never to accept
any favor or attention involving the ex-
penditure Of money, except in the wayof
that social intercourse which is usual
among all classes. Not long since, on
an occasion of visit to this city, he was
down on Wall street in company with
state officer and another friend. They
were going up to the Fifth Avenue hotel,
and the state officer called hack, made
a bargain with driver to take them for
$3.50, and when they reached the hotel
paid the man that amount. Mr. Conk-
ling drew fifty cents from his pocket and
handed it to the state officer, who express
ed an unwillingness to receive it. "Sir,"
said the senator, ~ always pay my own
hack hire. You will be good enough to
take the money" The tone was unmis-
taxable, and the silver coin was quietly
transferred to the state officers pocket.
Mr.. Conkling carries the principal of
"paving his own way" to such extremes
that when attending political meeting
he will not allow a hotel bill, railroad
fare, or even the price of conveyance
to be settled except out of his own pock-
ct.
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1880-11-03

A writer of the New Orleans Picayune
says that the fashion of going without
gloves, has prevailed among young men
for some time, owes its origin to an acci-
dent. The Prince of Wales had been
dining and wining rather late with seve-
raj other '.jolly good fellows" and subse-
quently attended areception little worse
for liquor. He had forgotten his gloves,
but was in no condition to stand upon
trifes. His little irregularity instantly
revolutionized the fashion, for, as lis an
cestor courtesy remarked, "nice customs
curtsy to great Kings" Immediately all
the swells went to receptions with their
hands bare. "Unhappily," say the writ
er in The Picayune, 1'the fashion spread
to this country, and at opera, theater,
ball and reception our jeunesse doree
wore no gloves. 1t looked badly enough
anywhere, but when it came to gentle
men dancing with elegantly attired ladies
and encircling delicate silk or immacu-
late satin waist with an arm whose unglov-
ed hand, ,aided by the dust and other causes
left an indellible imprint upon the back
of the dress, it become nigh time for the
ladies to protest at thus being handled
without gloves So some bright young
man, fertile in expedients, in flash of
inspiration, pulled out his silk handker-
chief, and gracefully inserting it between
the dress and the bare hand, prevented a
social revolution and introduced la
mode.'"

THE QUEEN OF THE TURF.

Maud S., the champion trotter of the
world, is a long-bodied mare, standing
fifteen hands two and a half inches high
at the withers and fully sixteen hands
high at the hips. Her weight in trotting
condition is $50 pounds, and her stride,
when going at her best, on straight
track, is about Is feet In her great feat
at Chicago, September IS, when she
trotted mile in 2:10A, her stride when
coming down the home stretch against a
high wind, was little less than seven
teen feet. She wears "shin boots'' and
"scalpers,' and carries a fifteen-ounce
shoe with a four-ounce toe weight in
front, and an eight-ounce shoe behind.
She is usually driven in bride without
"blinds," but in the trial above alluded
to, blind bride was used. The reason
for this change, as given by her driver,
Mr. Blair, is, that in her trial of Thurs
day September Is when she trotted a
mile in 2:111a, he thought it best to
touch her lightly with the whip when
coming down the home stretch. She saw
the whip lifted for the stroke and swerved
from it. He then touched her on the
other side to straighten her course, and
another swerve, which resulted in a
break, by which she lost second of time,
was the consequence. This was the first
time he had ever touched her with a whip
and he argued that with ''blinkers'' he
could do this without causing her to
swerve. The result of Saturdays trial
proved the correctness of his conclusions
and in her trials hereafter blinkers will
always be used.
She is mare of very strong will and it
is necessary to handle her with great gen
tleness. A man who would fight her
would soon render her entirely unman-
ageable. And in this she is the counter
part of her grandam Enchantress, as we'll
as of her sire, Harold and his full brother
Lakeland Abdallah. The old mare had
the courage and resolution of bulldog,
and this quality descended to all her pro-
duce. Harold and Lakeland Abdallah
both possess it to remarkable degree,
and, if they had fallen when young into
gentle careful hands, as Maud S. FORUM
ately did, it is certain they would have
both been distinguished as fast trotters.
Black Maria, daughter of Enchantress,
also possesses the same peculiarity of dis.
position. Her head is almost an exact
facsimile of that of Maud S., clearly in.
dicating that resolution, will and energy
which, if carefully handled and educated,
is the most valuable quality that horse
can possess, but which, if abused and pre-.
verted, makes dangerous instead of q
