The interests of harmony and the public
welfare demand Conkling's retirement to pri-
vate life. he is the embodiment of every evil
principle in politics which under1ies the cor
ruption which civil service reform aims to de-
stroy. He has pursued with unrelenting ha-
tired and persecution every man who would
not bow down to him in servile adulation, and
his friendship has lasted no longer thar abject
service continued His power has been that
of fear and not of affection, and his following
In great part is that of the savage chief whose
subjects would gladly shake off his yoke If
they had reasonable assurance of success.
Now is the accepted time for all these to COM
bine in a struggle for his overthrow, which
needs only will and resolution to be success
full.

Disturbing the Performance.

There was a smart business man in a
New York interior city once, who, having
made some money, determined to build
an opera house. After it was done he
went to Chicago to see how things were
conducted, and happened to light on a
sacred concert where applause wasn't
allowed on Sunday night. a travelling
theatrical company dedicated his new
theater with one Of the roaring comedies
and, much to their surprise, found it
perfectly fiat. Not 8 sign or sound of
approval came from the audience, and
the comedians redoubled their efforts in
vain. At the end of the second act they
asked the manager what the trouble
was, the audience didn't seem to catch
on. 80 [ guess you're getting along
all right, said the manager, and the play
proceeded. The latter part was more
funereal and silent than the first, and the
effect on the actors, by the time it had
ended, was gloomy and depressing, as
you can imagine.
/ What's the matter with your folks ?"
said one Of them to the proprietor of the
theater, ''You could get more fun out of
a graveyard than out Of people like
them. They don't seem to enjoy any
thing"
Enjoy it," said the proprietor, of
course they enjoy it! Why, I had to
fire out two Of 'em for stormin' and
laIlghin', and that made the rest of 'em
behave 'emselves. This is tirst-class
town want you to understand, and we
don't allow them to disturb the perform
ances."

Sheep that Dive from Cliffs.

John Muir, the naturalist of the Sier-
Ia, writing Of the wild sheep of the Ser
ra and Of their well-authenticated habit
OF diving from precipices and alighting
Oh their horns, relates the following an
ecdote:
AT the base of Sheep rock. one Of
the winter strongholds of the Shasta
focks, there lives stockraiser who has
the advantage of observing the move
ments of wild sheep every winter, and,
in the course of conversation with him
on the subject Of their diving habits, he
pointed to the front of a lava headland
about $50 feet high, which is only 8 or
10 degrees out Of the perpendicular.
There, said he, T followed band of
them fellows to the back of that rock
yonder, and expected to capture them
oil, for thought had dead thing on
them. got behind them on narrow
bench that runs along the face of the
wall near the top, and comes to an end
where they couldn't get away without
falling and being killed; but they
jumped off, and landed ali right, as If
that were the regular thing with them.
s.sWhat! ! said |, Jumped $50 feet |!
Did you see them do it?
"'No, he replied, 8 didn't see them
going down, for I was behind them but
I saw them go off over. the brink, and
then [ went below and found their
tracks where they struck on the loose
debris at the bottom. They sailed right
of, and landed on their feet right side
up. That's the kind of animal they is
beats anything else that goes on four
legs"

How the Snake Gets a New Suit.

'sSome people think that snakes only
shed their skins at certain seasons Of the
year, z said the keeper, "That's mis-
take. If they are well fed and kept
right warm they change their coats
about every eight weeks through the
year" "Does it pain them ?" 9 Not a
bit of it. You see the skin Of snake
does not increase in size as the reptile
grows, as with us. While the old skin
is getting smaller by degrees, new one
IS forming underneath, and the other
gradually gets dry. When it is ready to
shed, it loosens around the lips, and the
reptile rubs itself against the earth or
the rock in the cage, and turns the up
per part over the eye and the lower part
over the throat. Then it commences to
glide around the glass case, all the time
rubbing itself against something until
the entire skin is worked off. Sometimes
this takes three days; occasionally they
get rid of the incumbrance in a few
hours. I don't believe they have bit
OF intelligence. For all / feed them and
care for them, they would as lief bite me
as any stranger. I can handle good
many OF them safely, but it's only the
knack Of the thing not that they won't
bite, but that they can't get the
chance"

The Two John Tllolnases.

A young school miss who has been
told to hunt up the story Of the g Two
John Thomases . writes to us for the
particulars. They were DR.. John
Thomas, who graduated at Catherine
Hall, Cambridge, in 1918, was rector of
st. Vedast, Foster Lane. was consecrat-
ed Bishop Of Lincoln April /, l744. and
translated to Salisbury in l 761, and who
died July 10, 1855; and DIR. John
Thomas, Fellow of All Saints College,
Oxford, rector of st. Benedicts and St.
Peters, Paul. Wharf, consecrated Bishop
Of Peterboro, Oct. 4, 1747, translated to
Salisbury in 1857, and who died May /.
1881. The story of the difficulty in de.
scribing them is certainly genuine.
Bishop Newton was speaking of DR..
Thomas, when some one asked, g Which
DR.. Thomas do you mean ne p He an
named john "Well, i mean Dr.
Thomas who has living in the city. y
They both have lvings in the city"
:. DR.. Thomas who is Chaplain to the
King" 's'They are both Chaplains to
the King" ''Dr. Thomas who is known
to be very good preacher" "They
are both X known to be very good preach
ers. "Then," said Newton, triumph
antly, the DR.. Thomas who squints."
"They both squint!' was the equally
effective answer, and Bishop Newton
gave it up. Whether they squinted
equally bad we cannot say, but the first
above-named was one Of the most de-
clded specimens ever presented in good
society. He was once telling a humor-
GUS story and remarked of tie hero that
"the fellow squinted most hideously."
This point was telling, but the Bishop
increased the effect by turning his own
ugly face around to each person present,
with an extra distortion at each turn.

to give the great Office of collector of the port

thus proposed was broken by Gen. Badeau's
declining to accept the new place to which he

whether they would have advised such trans

requested TO withhold the papers and sugges-

of Gen. r. P. Nicely, departed this
life at the family residence, in Bolivar,
Tenn, on Saturday, the 18th day of

eight months and ID days. She made
a public profession of her faith in
Christ, and was received into the cDm-
munion of the Presby terrain church in
Bolivar, June 18th, 1865. Being thus
early born into the higher life, with a
mind of rare natural vIgor and bril-
liancy, carefully educated and stored
with solid Knowledge, drawn from the
best literature, she rapidly developed
character which IN strength, sym
metry, and true excellence, is seldom
attained. AS daughter, sister, wife,
mother, friend and neighbor, she was

controlling character that shapes the
entire life. Her earnest, yet unob
