what COnkling Says.

New York June 9.-The' Herald's inter-
view with Conklipg is rs follows: The a.,
ssult upon President Garfield is an sstound g..
ing assault upon the nation. The shot feed
by madmsn Is a shot fred ut all of us. No
language can overstate the enormily Of the
deed. There is, however, no occasion tor
public apprehension or excitement. Our
fathers foresaw even such dire possibilities
and provided for them. The cops,itu.
ton p ints out just what shall be done
In Just such an emergency. The vice
president, on the death of the president, in.
stantly succeeds and the government goes on
as II no change had occurred. In this case
the vice president is an upright, brave, able
man, abundantly qualified Tor the great trust
which providence may have in store for him
In his hands no harm will come TO the pub
lie interest. lie is thoroughly patriotic
TO strive to array hostility or di.trust
against him at such an hour is unspeskably
wicked and reasonable. No patriot, what,
ever his politics, can do anything now, until
the shadow passes by, but besrup the hands
OF the vice president This the con.
sentative and law-abidng people of
the country will all unite in doirg
lie will have the prayers of all good
men and women. Assassination. whether
,oY pistol or newspapers, will be stamped out
by The American people with righteous and
Indignant accord. There being now no
president OF the senate and no speaker ofthe
houie, the vice-presiden, is
THE ONE SAFEGUARD
hr'c reliance of the counlr, against upcer-
~ and chaos, and lost indeed to wisdom
, virtue must be the American who would
esse danger or perturbation at such a
n. Sad aud deplorable as the crime is. it
is glory ana safety Of our free institutions
that no madmsn's act can reach beyond the
individual at whom he nims. The govern
ment belongs to the people, and will go on
peacefully, even in u trisl like this. Grief
and horror must pervade all hearts mean while.
AS when death strikes the head of the
family tho survivors must manfully proceed.
20 when the head Of the government falls,
composure and duty still remain to the
nation and to all its citizens. Mourning as
we oil do, each man has hi, part of fortitude
and tirmness, aud the same sense and wisdom
which have led this people through greater
penis will not DO wanting now Instead of
bitterness and reasonable calumny, this is a |
time Tor the American people to cultivate
peace and goodwill and to strengthen and
brighten the links which bind them together, !
Civilization will not halt or stumble because
providence has dementei one poor creature,
nor because ferocious ard strccious false
hood has for time attempted to bewider

A few months since Jenkins had the
misfortune to lose his wife, who was O
notable housekeeper. After giving way
to his sorrow for some weeks, the bright
idea entered the brain of the widower of
doing something to lessen his grief, and
at the same time to pay tribute to the
worth of the departed. For that purpose
he called upon a maiden lady of his &C
quaintance, and requested a few mo-
ment's private conversation with her.
Feeling sure that he was already tired
of his lonely state, and come to make a
proposal, she willingly acceded to the
request, and with becoming resignation
prepared to-accept him. The bereaved
one cleared his throat and began by
taking the hand of the not unwilling
virgin, and then, with downcast eyes,
said:-
Martha, you knew my wife,"
''She was my dearest friend"
"Did you ever reflect on that part of
the marriage service which says that
death alone can part the wife from the
husband ?"
"Alas, yes"
"Now, death has parted me from my
wife, and I feel very lonely. I think l
must do something, and have come to
make you a proposal
And ne pressed her fingers softly and
sighed The lady returned the pressure
and waited to hear further, while she
blushed and covered her face with the
disengaged hand.
"I'll come to the point at once" he
proceeded. You know my wife was an
excellent cook, and has left behind her
heap of manuscript recipes. 1 have
decided on giving them to the public, so,
if you will help me to arrange and class
ify them correctly, we will go halves in
the profit of their publication"
She sprang from his side full of indig-
nation and resentment, and murmuring
something like, ''Tll see you blessed,
first" vanished from his astonished gaze.
Jenkins sighed, took his hat and went
home, and the cookbook is still uncom-
piled.

The Abolition Of PttticOats.

1t would appear that the doctrines of
woman's emancipation from the tram
mels of feminine dress, promulgated
some time ago with considerable vigor
by strong minded ladies in the United
States, have recently been enthusiastic
ally adopted by an association Of German
matrons and maidens, which, under the
significant title of "Clothing-League for
the abolition of Petticoats," recently held
its first public meeting i'll concert-room
in the Brunuen Strasse, Berlin. A chair
woman having been duly elected, the
proceedings were opened by an eloquent
speech, setting forth the inconvenience
and disadvantages, from sanitary point
of view, of the flowing garments hitherto
deemed appropriate wear for civilized
females. This discourse pronounced
it to be the sacred duty
of every member of the asso
citation to discard, with the utmost
promptitude, such Objectionable raj
ment, typical of all the disabilities
wrengfully ascribed to woman by her
oppressor, man. and to assume in its
stead "a dualistic form of covering for
the legs as we'll as for the arms" This
daring programme of action was hailed
with acclamations of approval by all
present save one, Frau Peters, who
courageously stood up for the denounced
petticoat, upon the ground that it was
far more becoming than trousers to men,
bers of the female sex. Her protesting
voice, however, was drowned in storm
of indignant clamor, and a resolution
embodying the sentiments previously
enumerated by the chairwoman was
passed by an overwhelming majority of
the fair leaguers.
The pins made in the United States
are made by fourteen factories, some
what scattered as to locality. but chiefly
in New England. Their annual produc-
for several years past has been about
1000, OOO, 900 pins. This number has
not varied much for some years, the de-
mani remaining about the same. A few
OF the 1000, 0OO, 900 are swallowed by
children, number are bent up in
schools and placed in vacant and invit-
ing chairs, and some millions get into
cracks of floors and the rest for the most
part are scattered along the byways and
highways, where they have dropped
from dresses and been left to find their
way into the earth. Two years ago
the competition among the nine prin-
cipal companies then existing for the
manufacture OF toilet pins led to
such a cutting of prices that the
business became Improbable and the
market was flooded with goods. Dealers
who were shrewd laid in stock, and fami-
lies even bought in wholesale quantities
for future needs. A year ago combina-
ton was formed of three wire companies.
and now all of the pins made by them
are shipped to New York, and from their
common warehouse they are sent to
every part of the country in quantities
varying according to the female popula-
ton. The importations of English pins
are small, and the expectation Of pins
from the United States is confined to
Cuba. South America, and parts OF
Canada, where, however, but few pins
are sent. England supplies almost the
whole world outside the United States,
although it is claimed that the American
Dins are not infarior in Oua1itv
