Unpalatable to StalWarts.

CHICAGO, June S.-The Tribune in an
editorial says: Not the least affection put
upon the late Senator Conklipg, in these try
ing times is the aliectionate sympathy and
support of Tom Brady's Washington Star
Route organ and his imported herino editor,
Geo. C. Gorham, formerly of California.
Mr.. Gorham is a political Ishmaelite, who
was read out of his party at home, and who
was declared by a hundred Republican clubs
in California, last year, to be 10 Republican.
1t is we'll known that the support OF Conk-
ling by the Star Route proprietor and the
merino editor is entirely due to the investiga-
ions now going on in the Postoffice Depart
ment. The support of these delectable
persons might have been purchased at any
time by stopping the Star Route prosecu.

of New York says:

brewer. 4 coach maker, and a machinist all
before | was u years old. ! worked three
years at Sl.50 u day, and | saved enough out

for sale. That was before the war Of 1872.

HARVARD VS.. EDWARDS.
Almost a Tragedy.

The crack Of a rife, The shrieks of a wo-
man, the muiled OathS of strong men in a
struggle for life, arrested the attention of our
reporter as he passed by Bill Conway's house
at the corner of Main and st. John streets,
this morning. A few rods further up the
street Sheriff Healy happened to be talking
with some men at work on the cellar of Ken
nedy's new building. 1t was only a few sec
onds after the shot was fred that the sheriff,
obedient to a burst into the back
room of the house and discovered Tom Har-
wood and Major II h. Edwards closed in a
deadly struggle, the latter atte mptlug to use
his revolver, the blood streaming from a gun
S,ot wound in the leg, willie the former had
his hands wound in Edwards long beard.
Both were quickly disarmed and Tom Har-
wood was lodged in Jail.
1t appears that Edwards was on the look
out for his Old enemy, who has once before
this put a ball into him, or he woNld not
have escaped 50 easily as he has. HARDWOOD
had been most open in his threats, and as he
stepped in the open door of the house, Ed
wards graSped the rife aimed at his head and
pressed it toward the ground, SO that the bull
let, which must otherwise certainly have ter
minated his life, passed through the calf of
his leg and will cause him no more incon-
veniencc than a few weeks on Crutclles.
HARDWOOD remarked on his way to Jail that
he was only sorry that he had not put a thou
sand holes INTO him instead of one.
Between the two parties to this shooting
match, there has been bad blood for some
time, and Harwood, always protuse in his
threats, has thus for the secoud time attempts
ed Edwards life, the first instance being last
spring on the Teton, when he shot the
Major in the arm. As usual, a woman is at
the bottom of the trouble.-Benton Record.

WHEN WE ARE OLD AND GRAY

When we are old and gray, love,
When we are old and gray,
When at last tits all. all over,
The turmoil of the day.
In the still soft hours OF even,
In our Ii fe's fair twilight time,
Well look upon the morn, love.
Upon our earthly prime.
'Thank God for all the sweet days"
Wen whisper while we may,
When we are old and gray, love,
When we are old and gray.
When we We're young and gay. love.
When we were young and gay,
When distant seemed December,
And all was golden May
Amid our life'S hard turmoil,
Our true love made us brave.
We thought not of the morrow,
We reck'd not of the grave.
So far seemed life'S dim twilight,
SO far the close of day,
When we were young II gay, love,
When we were yOung and gay.
Now we are old and gray, love,
Now we are old and gray.
The night tide shadows gather,
We have not long TO stay,
The last sere leaves have fallen,
The bare bleak branches bead,
Put your deal bands in mine. love,

BLAINE'S SCATHING SARCASM
The Debate which Hurt Roscoe's
Naughty Pride.

At the present time when the ill-feeling eX-
listing between Secretary Blaine and eX-Sena-
tor Roscoe Conkling is exciting so much ill.,
terest because of its momentous results, the
following extract may prove peculiarly good
reading. 1t IS a portion OF a debate which
took place in the house OF representatives in
1866. After p~erusing it no one need be at a
loss to account for the undying animosity
cherished by the fallen New York politician
against the present head of the state depart
ment.
Mr.. Conkling desired to add that no COM
mission, paper or authority whatever was is
sued to him, except the letter of retainer
which had just been read. If the member
from Maine had The least idea how profoundly
indifferent to him his opinion was on the sub
jec5 lie had been discussing, or on any other
subject, he thought he would hardly take the
trouble to express it. He apologized to the
house for the length OF time he had occupied
in consequence of being dra" II into the mat
ter by ali interruption which he had before
denounced to be ungenllemanly and lmper-
tilant, and have nothing to do with the mat
ter.
Mr.. Blame said he knew that this was

corps with no more Of a commission than
such a one as the gentleman from New York
held. AS to the gentleman's cruel sarcasm,
Mr.. Blaine continued: 81 hope he will let me
escape his disdain. His lordly pomposity,
his grandiIoquent swell, his majestic overflow
ering, his turkey-gobbIer strutting, have been
so crushi' g to myself and every member of
the house that | know it was all act of the
grossest temerity on my part in venturing on
provok ny them. But | know who was re-
sponsible of them all. L know that for the
last five weeks an extra strut has seized the
gentleman. 1t is not his fault, it is the fault
of another. That gifted and s~atirical man,
Theodore Tilton, of the New York Mdepend-
ent, was over here spending some weeks and
writing home letters, in which, among some
serious Things. he put some ~jocose things,
among the cruelest of which was that the mall
tie of the late Winter Davis had fallen upon
The memher from New York. he (Cork-
lingo took it as serious, and has since strut
ted more than usual. Well, the resemblance
is aleat-as striking as Hyperion to Satyr,
ThersileS to Hercules. mud to marble, a
dunshill to a diamond, a siuged cat to Il Ben
gal tiger, a whining puppy to a roaring lion.
Shade of the mighty Davis forgive the almost
PROCLAMATION Of that jocoss satire.
