THE DEADLOCK AT ALBANY
The Stalwarts Propose a Com
promise to the Half breeds,
That Conkling and Depew be
Elected The Half breeds De-
cline the Overture.

ALBANY, n. Y, June. 29.-The
stalwarts and half-breeds had
lengthy conference yesterday after
noon, but reached no conclusion. It
is said the friends of Conkling sent
a proposition to the half~hreeds that
the stalwarts would accept Depew
for the long term if the. half breeds
would accept Conkling for the short
term, but the half-breeds would not
listen to such an arrangement, and
said that Senators Robertson and
Woodin were espe eially opposed to it.
The Administration supporters
are still firm in rejec ing the propo-
sition Of the stalwa is to elect Conk>
ling and Depew for short and long
terms respectively. They say they
would prefer to accept Piatt. At the
same time they see no way out of
tbs deadlock, owing to the firmness
of C0nkhngs supporters, who evince
no disposition to leave him. .
The vote to fill the short term va
cancy was as follows:
Potter 81, ConkiiDg 30, Wheeler
IL, Cornell 3, Lapham Is, Folger 1,
Hosk rs l, Rogers l, Crowley l. No
choice
When the name Of Senator Forster
was called he said that as his vote
here had been called into question
in the Senate, by the Senator from
the 25th district, he deemed it
proper to make an explanation of his
voting. He had been actuated by
but one consideration, AMI that was
to elect two Senator's in the
place of the two Senators who
had resigned. So far as he
could learn the views of, his con-
stituency, he believed that they did
not desire the return Of the two re-
signing Senators. With that view
/ he lad first voted for the candidates
known as the half breeds, and SUBJ
sequently for q half~breed and a
stalwart and then for two stalwarts.
/ This week, he had determined to
vote for two stalwarts and if no
election was secured, he would then
vote for adjournment He then ex~
! planned hls vote for Lieutenant
Governor Hoskins, whose course in
public life he eulog;zed, and con-
Guided by voting for Hoskins.
Mr. Mccarthy, when his name was
called, sd d that he had simply al
luded to the gentleman's voting for
Lieut.-Gov. Hoskins when it was
known hat he was paired with Sen
ator Astor, although the senator
(Forster) had said that he was not
paired with Lieut.. Gov. Hoskins.
! The vote to fill the long term va
cancy was as follows; Depew so,
Herman 81, Platt 26, Cornell 8,
Wheeler /, Crowley 7, Tremaine l.,
Ltpham l. No choice.
/ Mr.. Sharpe offered a resolution
that when voting hereafter, on
asking to be excused. members
of the Senate have unlimited time
for explanation, and that the mem
hers Of the House be limited to two
months each. He said the only ob
ject he had in view was to establish
alute He asked that the resolution
lie on the table till tomorrow, which
was agreed to.
Mr.. Sharpe then moved for adj
journment. Carried. Ayes 81

An Erla press Fooled.

"a private letter recently received from an
American lady, s%ojourning in Vienna, con-
tains the following interesting gossip:
We have been very much disappointed this
week at the announcement of the postpone
ment of the marriage Of the crown prince Of
Austria with stephanie, the Belgian princess,
for which preparations IN a grand scale have
been going On here oil winter; 8 perfect car
nival season the nuptial week would have
been. The postponement is indefinite; the
reason given Is the princess extreme youth !;
her parents say she is but 9 mere school child
not strong, and they fear that the balls and
festivities generally given IN her honor would
be too much for her, particularly as she has
not been to 9 ball or anything Of the kind.
You know royal etiquette obliges her to come
to Vienna to be married-her husband being
Of high rank, an emperor's SOD and she only
4 kings daughter-and, besides, as Austria is
q first and Belgium only q seeond-rate power.
Poor little thing. do not doubt she was 50
homesick at the idea OF coming aWayon here
50 forlornly to be married, that her father
and mother had not the heart to let her 60.

Alas! for the fine innumergble costumes of
the countesses and pr1ncesses which through
the kindness of q shopkeeper, or modiste, We
are privileged, as strangers, to gaze upon-of
superb materials, stiff with embroidery in
crystal beads. chenille, gold thread, silver, jet
and garnet. Among the Viennese modistes
there is Q good deal OF bitter feeling, as the
empress sends to Paris for almost her entire
wardrobe, and, as she is at the head of fash
ion there, other ladies Of course follow her
example, which robs the Viennese Of their
WeaIthiest customers.
But they Were all pleased just now to hear
the following story: One of the leading
modistes Of the city, hoping to succeed where
others had, failed, took several Of his newest
costumes to the empress. With one OF the
dresses she was enchanted and anxious to
purchase it, but his price was more thar she
thought even she ought to afford. She coaxed
him to sell it for less, but, no, he would not ;
so be departed. All day and all that night
she thought and thought about that dress, and
the more she thought the more she desired to
possess it. So, early in the morning she sent
q messenger to the %shopkeeper to order the
dress. She must have it, and would take it
at any price. Alas! the manager returned,
looking very Woful, havingth the shop-keeper's
regrets that her majesty was too late, as he
had sold it to the emperor the sfternoon be-
fore. Then she thought: ''That dear man,
some one has told him [ longed for that dress
and 80 he is going to surprise me with it /; but
he shall not get ahead of me, the dear old
duck" So off she drove and bought the
finest present che could find, took it to the
emperor, and presented it with d sweet
speech and smile. He accepted it with ut
most grace, showing both his pleasure and
surprise. She withdrew, and waited and
waited for the expected gift. 1t came not.
Later in the day she learned that her dear
emperor had purchased it for, and presented
it to, 8 favorlte opera singer. One can i'm
agine the weeping and and crashing of teeth
about that time in the Austrian winter palace.

Well said Squire Pratlet, sshas that IN
fortunate gone at last e
Yes"
ITO the Stokes tavern, | suppose?"
II hope not, Josiah"
"Im afraid its past hoping for" said the
Squire, struggling his shoulders. But Mrs.
Pratlet kept her secret in her own heart.
It was six months afterwards that the
Squire came into the dining where his wife
was preserving great red apples into jelly.
"We1l, we'll quoth he. wonders will
never cease. The Ruddiloves have gone
away"
"Where."
IL don't know-out West somewhere with
a colony. And they say Luke has not drank
a drop for six months"
II am glad Of that" replied Mrs. r.
SIT won't last long, he suggested dispair-
ingly.
"Why not ?"
ooh, don't know, I haven't any faith in
these sudden reforms"
Mrs. Pratlet was silent; she thought thank
fully that, after all, Luke had not spent the
dollar for liquor.
Six months-six years: the time sped
along in days and weeks, almost before busy
Mrs. Pratlet knew that it was gone. The
Ruddiloves had returned to Sequosset. Luke
had made his fortune, SO the story went, far
off in Eldorado.
"They do say" said Mas. Buckingham,
that he has bought that ERE lot down oppo-
cite the court house, and he is going to build
such o house as never was"
"He must OF prospered greatly" observed
Mrs. Pratlet.
"And his wife, she wears q silk gown
that will stand alone with lis own richness!
I can remember when Ruddilove was moth
ing but q poor drunken creature"
"All the more credit to him now," said
Mrs, Pratlet, emphatically.
1T is to be al Of stone, with white man
tells and inlaid floors; and he has put a lot of
papers and things under the corner one, like
they do in public buildings"
"Well, that is natural enough"
II know, yet it seems kind O queer that
he should put q dollar bill III with the other
things. He must have lots of money, to
throw it away in that manner.'
Mrs. Pratlet felt her checks flush. Invol-
UNFAIRLY she glanced towards the Squire.
But he never looked around. She met Mr..
Ruddilove that afternoon for the first time
since his return to Souuosset-Luke himself,
save that the demon Of intemperance had
been completely crushed, and his better ma
ture triumphing at last. He looked her
brightly in the face, and held out his hand,
saying but the one word:
'sMary."
TREMENDOUSLY she replied: II am glad to
see you here again."
When Luke had overcome his emotion he
continued:
tsDo you remember that stormy night when
you gave me that dollar bill and begged me
not to go to the tavern 2"

Insect Pests.

A friend told me last summer, with
the sad countcnance BETTING good
housewife under such circumstances,
how the cockroaches had stolen
march on her and damaged the parlor
carpet. Her husband, who is in liter
AIRY way, put lot Of magazines and
like pets (some Of the family are likely
to spell it pests) on the carpet, against
the wall, within reach of his favolite
sea-. Like all persons Of this class, he
was about as sensitive to having his
papers meddled with, as to having a
finger stuck in his eye. Cunning in
sects! what secure retreat, what a
stronghold from bombardments of brush
and broom, they found the spot. When
at length one fine day their secret do
ings were brought to the light, those
feet Of carpet presented the appearance
of having been run forward aud back
through the hay cutter. 1t follows that
in the eternal vigilance which must be
the houskeepers watchword, the car
pets relaid after their spring shaking
cannot be exempt from danger without
further protection. 1t is an excellent
plan, when a room has been cleaned, to
dust the edges below the base, and all
cracks and creviees, freely with insect
powder, or with best quality black pep
per repeating the process along the
edge of the laid carpet, particularly
those portions where the less movable
pieces of furniture are to stand. Pep
per is the most perfect safeguard
against moths in packing away furs and
flannels that ! have ever tried, and |
have tried it summer after summer.
In making use OF it against their attacks
on the edges OF carpet, mixture of
salt has been recommended, the objec-
ton TO which is, that dampness of the
atmosphere is liable to melt the salt,
and when dry the carpet viii be stiff
ened, as if Il glue-pot had been over
turned ON it. Ny ninepence worth Of
pepper straight" has invariably done
more for me than the dollars worth of
camphor and patent preparations for
some of my neighbors; yet people like
to go on in their own way, hit or miss,
and this is a land of liberty. - Watch-
man.

A Compliment 10 the Press.

A great compliment has been paid to
the press in England. A deputation
waited upon the bishops lately and gave
a responding account Of the religious
condition of the people. There is a
large amount Of positive unbolief, par
ticularly among the educated classes.
About n fourth of the population-the
lower iuiddle-class are lost to the
church. and another quarler-the arts
ans and laborers are without belief
Among other remedies suggested, the
bishops were asked 10 use their inilu-
ence with editors Ito get orthodox ar
ticles inserted in the newspapers"
Here is distinct recognition of the
power of the press, coming from II
somewhat unexpected quarter ln'this
country it has long been understood
that the freshest and fullest religious
Intelligence is TO be found in the sccu.
lar journals.
