A CORRESPONDENT calls attention In
. lack Of oversight on the part of en-
ployen of young clerks, who, without
repoyal, permit them to Indulge in the
valgsr habit Of smoking in the presence
Of others whom they may have occasion
to visit on business. He says: at has
OF late become very common practice
for counting house boys, and even clerks
Of higher grade, when sent on errands
to banks and other places, to light and
smoke cigarettes, not in the stree Is only
but fnthe Offices to which they are sent
These young men probably would not
dare to do this in their own places Of
business. Cannot something be done
to abate this nulsance9 The writer Of
this would not hesitate to admonisb and
Tebuke,s and, If necessary, suspend, any
OF his young subordinales who iudulpe in
this offensive habit"

e AN article in the Medical Record a
few weeks ago, which, although writ
ten in bantering style, shows a keen
appreciation of some serious facts
which have been too long disregarded
yby the residents Of large cities. Every
person who owns q house in this city
must know very we'll that while the
plumbers bills are large the plumbing
work 10 very likely to be detective and
defective plumbing is acknowledged to
be prolific source of disease. Even
now there ana many dwellings, in this
city to which sewer gas has free en-.
trance through all the waste-pipes
Frequently the odor from the overflow
pipe of the bath tub is SO offensive as
TO deter one from using the latter,
and when this happens in houses that
are not well ventilated, the poisonous
sewer gas finds its way into the halls
in such abundance as to be easily de-
.tected by person on entering from
the street. A striking example OF
this has recently been observed by the
present writer, where sewer gas can
always be detected in the bathroom
by its offensive and characteristic
odor.

HIS Emphatic Objection to Rival
Wfnd-Instrumenfs and to Having
His strut Hidden from View by a
Fence.
The Cleveland Voice is PUBLISHING
some lively stories about Conkline's
campaign tour in the West last wear
Following are specimens
Before the great meeting at Cleye-
land Mr.. Conkling went to the Armorv
TO wait for the time to commence the
proceedings. A brass band welcomed
his arrival with music. "The Sena.
tor" says the Voice, spaused on the
stairs, and with a look Of extreme d;a-
gust asked, Can't that BANKED noise
oe storpsd ! 1t is very distasteful to
me. II there is one thing under Gods
heaven l hate more than another, it in
BANKED old brass band.'n And
again, according to the same journal
when Mr.. Conkling came upon the
stage to speak he found before him a
low railing covered with flags. 'eTurn-
ing to DIR. Kitchen, be said CANT
that blanked railing be taken down ?,
The reply was that it was very sub
stantial, and could not be removed
without trouble, to which the Senat or
responded why In blank don't you
build pen around . man, so that he
can just see over the top of itf II
there is anything especially DISCUS ing
TO me, II is to be fenced in.,"
The Voice goes on to narrate that
when Mr.. Cunkling was offered spec.
iai car and an esegrt of some Of the
hest known membe 8 of the Business
Mems Club, he rejointd :-"Suoh q
plan is particularly distastefui TO me.

CoNKLrNe's PRosFKcr VERY BAD.
The New York Times, which was
regarded as the leading organ of the
Stalwart faction, and at one time
supposed to be favorable to the return
Of Conkling and Platt, now throws
great doubt over the matter and in fact
seems to regard the reelection of Mr..
Conkling as out Of the question. 1t
says:
ssOut of total vote of 1877 men,
bers Of Assembly Roscoe Conkling
has received the support Of 90, or SO
less than a majority, while Thomas @.
Plat lsss received the support of but
81, or 43 less than majority. In the
Senate, with the whole 80 members
present, Mr.. Conkling received . votes
and Mr.. PIatt 9, being 8 votes in the
one case and 0 in the other short of q
majo.-ty. Should the joint conven-
tion to-day muster 169 members and
the votes Of yesterday be repeated,
Mr.. Conkling will lack 45 votes and
Mr.. Platt 81 votes of majority.
These votes it is impossible for either
OF them, under any conceivable cir
cumstances, to secure from Republi-
cans, and it remains to be seen
whether the "a votes which the Demo
Gratis will bring into the joint conven-
tion can be used to secure the return
Of Mr.. Conkhng by way Of presenting
the Republican party with Kelly OF
its own. An addition Of the Demo-
cratic votes to tho ) OF the COnkling
men would give more than a ma
jority Of the joint convention, but
such combination can hardly be CON-
sidered as a political probability.
1t would end the political existence OF
every Republican who entered into it,
and the gain to the Democrats would
be hardly wol til the sacrifice of repu-
tatiOn it would involve OIL their part,
since 1t is certain that no 35 Republic |
can votes could be held together for |
the electlon Of Democratic associate |
to Mr.. CoDkling."
From the tone of the Times to-day,
it appears that an understanding has
been arrived at among the stalwarts
that both Messrs. Conkling ana Plast
are to be withdrawn, and an effort
made for a compromise by which Gov.
Cornell and one Of the Half-breeds,
may be elected. This is a tremendous
1efeat for Mr.. Conkling in his own
state and virtual defeat of the Stal.
Vart faction that will tell heavily
'gaipst the influence of Gen. Grant
u all future party actions.
