Two Republican Senators talking together TO day,
agreed in conclusion that Conklng and Patt will be
beaten that they had not at FIRST appreciated the
full force and strength of the fight against them.
One Senator said If the present New York Ltgis-
lature ais TO elect, he believed that Conkling would
take the Geld in New York next fall issues OF his
own that he will formulate his platform and include
in it opposition to monopolies, aud as candidate
before the people for l.ction to the Senate he will
pledge himself, il elected, to devote his great abi
ties freely to the interests OF New York. This Sen
ator said he had heard Conkling talk i'll that line
He had heard him speak Of TIE immense resources
of New York, and Of the progress the En-
pre State could make il her public men would de-
vote themselves to her rather than to politics. On
platform and principle Of this character this Sena
tor believed that men OF all parties would probably
rally to Conkling, and send linn TO the front again
over all opposition.
Another Senator said that at the Chicago Conven.
ton, after Gar1eld's nomination, Conklinr ex-
pressed himself disguised with politics, and said
it was life ofincessant toll and trouble without an
adequate reward ; that the men who fought and
made the Republican party being cast aside for
"camp followers" and he was thinking Of retiring
from politics.
THE ADMINISTRATION AND COMBINES RE
ELECTION.
WASHINGTON, May 1Sth.-There is no longer any
doubt that strong fight will be made against Conk-
ling and Piatt and that it will have the sympathy
Of the Administration. This Is justified on the
ground that Conkiing declared on Monday that he
would regard his reelection as a rebuke TO the Ad-
mini tration and commission TO make war to the
end Of Garfeld's term. The policy of the Admins
tration will be to elect straight Repuhcaz Senator'S
who will be in entire harmony with the party In all
questions. II this cannot be accomplished in this
Legislature, then the policy viii be to prevent the
election OF Conkling and Patt even il the Senatorial
election has TO be thrown to the oext Legisla
ture. The Administration Is confident and
this confidence is based upon assurances
from oil parts Of New York that the
Republican party Of that State sustains the nona-
ton of Robertson ard the Presidents course in re-
gard 10 him; that the New York Republicans now
consider 1t their duty t. prevent any division in
the party. and that the only way to do is t. support
the Administration. Therefore 1t is believed, il the
issue is made and Conklng is submitted to the peo-
rls next fall in the choios OF Legislature they

A Terrible Grandmother

The grandmother of Edgar Quinet was
a remarkable woman. A conventual life
of some years had made her terribly
hard. Her domestic discipline was more
than monastic; once week she employ
ed 90rde-de-UilIe to whip her three
children Zone was girD naughty OF not.
When her son was only three she shut
him up in drawer. When he was a
young man she had all the flowers he
loved torn up; and when he was SO years
old she rebuked him as numerically as
if he was still boy. This awful old
lady had a strange admiration for
beauty. She surrounded herself with
engravlngs and works of art, and would
have no domestic in her employ who
had not regular features. There must
have been something beautiful in the
face of her newborn grandson, since, at
the sight of him, she relaxed her stern
ness and said, "He will have mind"

A Monster SUGAR Refinery.

The greatest sugar refinery in the

ing, facing deep water in South San
Francisco, will be 400x150 feet, and 13

supply of 5000 gallons a minute is
drawn from the bay, by a tunnel, for the

will be finished, at cost of ST, 25O,OO
Its yearly capacity will be $4,000 tons of
refined sugar. Claus Spreckles is the
master spirit. He got congress to make
treaty of reciprocity, by which Sand

free of duty. He promised, also, to
quiet all the opposition that was arrayed
against the treaty, and he has done so.
He has now thirty vessels employed Gall

The Peculiar Kinq of Abyssinia,

[From Col Gordon's Book on Central Africa]
I write in haste, but l will sum up my
impression of Abyssinia. The king is
rapidly growing mad He cuts off the
noses of those who take snuff, and the
lips of those who smoke. The other day
a man went to salute Ras Aloula. In
saluting him his tobacco box dropped
out. Ras Aloula struck him with his
sword, and his people finished him.
The king is hated more than Theodore
was. Cruel to a degree, he does not,
however, take life. He cuts off the feet
and hands of people who offend him.
He puts out their eyes by pouring hot
tallow into their ears. Several came to
tell me this. I demonstrated with the
king against his edict forcing men to be-
come Christian from Mussulman. He
said they wished it. L also demonstrated
about the tobacco edict, but it was of
no use. No one can travel without the
kings order if he is foreigner. You
can buy nothing without the kings
order, no one will shelter you without
his order; in fact, no more complete des-
potism could exist. It cannot last, for
the king will go on from one madness
to another.
Orders were given that no one was to
approach me; nor was [ to speak to any.
The officer who conducted me to the
king, the second in command to Aloula,
met his uncle and cousin in chains and
burst not ask why they were chained.
The king is a man of some forty-fve
years, sour, ill-favored looking being.
He never looks you in the face. but
when you look away he glares at you
like tiger. He never smiles; his look,
always changing, is one Of thorough
suspicion. Hated and hating all, I can
imagine no more unhappy man. Ava
ricious above all his people, who do not
lack this quality, his idea of free port
is that fleets of steamers will arrive from
the powers Of Europe with presents for
him, to which he viii reply by sending
letter with the lion seal, saying,
"You are my brother, my mother, etc.
How are you?" Johannis is delighted
with her majesty, because she called
him her son. He carries with him all
his great prisoners-the poor Goobasie,
with his eyes out. and the rest. At the

Wild Rice,

At a recent meeting of the Academy
Of Sciences, San Francisco, Capt. r. W.
Simpson made an interesting statement
detailing his efforts to accimatize the
Ziza1aia 0Quatica, or wild rice, which
grows so plentiful in some ponds, lakes
and rivers of Canada, extending north
to the Mackenzie river, nearly to within
the Arctic circle. 1t grows annually
from seeds, and induces the presence Of
enormous focks of wild fowl Ia the
autumn, who visit these rice lakes and
extensive beds for food. At Lake Erie
it grows in water six to eight feet deep,
and millions of reed birds, as well as
ducks and other water fowl, resort there,
and afford very fine shooting. Sports
mems clubs east are taking means to ex-
tend its growth, as it attracts game OF
all kinds. In Rice Lake, where 1t grows
prolifcally, it has been cut before seed
time by manufacturers, who lind Its
fiber, taken from the under surface OF
the water to depth of six or seven feet,
to be very valuable. 1t affords the
strongest kind of fiber known for making

the inland waters of the dominion. Two
friends of Capt. Simpson have each
sown 80 bushels of this rice seed III
Wales pond, Maine, and he desires to
call attention to it, as an element hkely
to prove useful in improving the shoot
ing in that state, and as such, capable
of contributing largely to increase our
food supply. Different varieties OF 1t

THE COMET.
By OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES

Tue Comet He is onhis way,
And singing as he flies;
The whizzing planets shrink before
The spectre of the skies,
All! well may regal orhs burn blue,
And satellites turn pale
Ten million cubic miles of head,
Ten billion leagues Of tail
On, on by whistling spheres of light
lie flashes and he flames;
He turns not to the left nor right,
He asks them not their names;
One spurn from his demoniac heei,-
Away, away they fly,
Where darkness might be bottled up
And sold for Iyrian dye"
And what would happen to the land
And how would look the sea.
If in the bearded DEVILS path,
Our earth should chance to be?
Full not and high the would boil,
Full red the forests g,eam;I
Metnought and heard it all
In dyspeptc dream!

The Comets course to spy;

Although his brain was fried,
And ever and anon he bent
To wet them as they dried.
I saw the scalding pitch roll down
The cracking, sweating pines,
And streams of smoke, like water-spOuts,
Burst through the rumbling mines;
I asked the tiremen why they made
Such noise about the town;
They answered not,-but all the while
The brakes went up and down.

Upon baking egg;
I saw a cripple scorch his hand

Towards the frozen pole,
And every mothers gosling fell
Crisped to a cracking coal.

Writhe in the blistering rays,
The heritage in his shrinking jaws
Was all a fiery blaze;
I saw huge fishes, boiled to rags,
Bob through the bubbling brine:
And thoughts of supper crossed my soul;
had been rash at mine.
Strange sights strange sounds fearful dream
In memory haunts me still;
The streaming sea, the crimson glare,
That wreathed each wooded hill;

Such midnight visions sweep,
Spare! spare, o spare thine evening meal,
And sweet shall be thy sleep.

4 NEtADA NOVEL.

The rofnances that are put ia good
shape by the novelist and newspaper ex.
| cite great interest, while those in real life,
going on all the time, are not seen by one
in dozen. and yet truth is stranger than
fiction. Few plays or novels have so
mnoh real incident and 30 strange
cbances'as recently occurred to little
family in this State. 1t consisted of tho
father and mother and bright little boy.
They are well thought Of and go in good
society. The father has always boen a
model man. He uses no tobacco. never
drinks or swears, and never made his
wife jealous. They were married in an
Eastern Btate, aud lived there and here
in solid comfort and in apparent happi-
ness. Not long ago one Of those changes
th't sometimes comes over The waSwafd
human heart turned the wife's affections
away from her husband to centre on q
bachelor neighbor. She asked her bus-
band TO give her divorce, but he refusedi
as he said he had no grounds. She told
him that she loved another man better.
He said, with laugh that didn't amount
to anything, and the pleasant relations
that had existed between all the parties
remained unbroken. go far as the neigh
bors could see. The bachelor was very
attentive and the lady gave him every
opportunity, while the husband mani
Tested an utter indifference. The BACH
elor waxed rich In cattle and his trade in
merchandise increased, while the hus-
band by close attention to business, was
providing for his family and gathering
together few head of stock that were
adding to his frugal fortune! The dead
lock was at last broken, however, and
just about the tithe the bachelor went out
of the cattle business by disposing of 425
head to his rival in the lady's affections,
she was granted divorce. Whether the
divorce figured in the trade as valuable
consideration may not be susceptible OF
proof, but it is freely claimed that it did.
The husband made trip to the county
seat and took home the divorce and H.
cense for marriage in the same pocket, and
at the wedding of the happy compile he
danced and ate cake, but drank no wine,
as he seehied happy enough without it.
He kept the little boy. but allows him
frequent visits to his mammals new home.
Tho novel might close with, ''and they
lived happily together forever after" but
the oldest part of the whole story is to
follow. A little infant appeared on the
scene few months after the marriage,
and the new husband sent the old one
bill for nurse and doctor fees, which was
promptly paid, Since that the first bus-
band has been married to handsome
young lady, and the only drawback to her
happiness is that her friends jokingly tell
her that she is in danger of being traded
off for a team of horses. What this story
lacks in detail it makes up in truth
