C0nkliRg as a Lawyer.

Ishould say that Conkling had a prac-
tice of about $25, 900 year which he gets
by virtue of his political influence. Cor
poration Counsel Whitney employed him
recently, and could scarcely have given
him less than So, 900 and may have given
him two or three times as much. l once
heard David A. Wiley say that Conkling
had received $4,000 fee for going be-
fore Judge and asking that a case be
postponed, on the ground that he had not
had time to finish his study Of it; and.
said Mr.. Wells, "it was never designed
that he should argue the case, and he
never did study it; but he was given that
fee only to get the postponement, and &C,
cepted it with that understanding, and
then told lie.
Bayard said in his speech at Dover that
Conkling got $4,000 as a part Of the plum
der in the Phelps, Dodge & Co. Jayne
says be thought it was $4,000. In either
case, for single mornings occupation
he got as much money as the govern
ment pays him for years work. In none
of the cases I have referred to would he
have been retained on the score OF hiE
talents as lawyer.-GGth.

WASHINGTON, August 10, 1880.
"Personai."
| nv DEAR GENERAL:-I am good dea
annoyed in interesting friends to aid ir
carrying on my work in this campaign
Many are apathetic, and while they are
profuse in good wishes and ready to en-
courage by words, yet that does not pay
printing bills and other expenses. Gen
eral Brady, of the Post-ofice Department
seems to think that you do not care for
his aid. and is for some unknown reason
inclined to be cool toward you. | an
satisfied that on an intlmation from yot
that such things would be appreciated HI
would perhaps do something for me. In
deed, he has intimated as much to me
Won't you please set him right or in SOM
way express desire for his aid, for
need help very much just now.
Respectfully yours,
JAY A. HUBBELL.
To the Hon. James A. Garfield, Mentor, c
To this General Garfield replied:
Hon. j. A. Hubbell. Washington, d. c.;
MY DEAR HUBBELL:-Yourso of the 19t
instant received and contents noted
Please say to Brady that l hope he wi
give US all the assistance possible. I thin
he can help effectively. Please tell m
how the departments generally are doine
AS ever yours,

Looking ON at the Table Exercises OF
a Chinese Giant.

As reporter of the ~ Y. Sun was din
ing in Brooklyn restaurant a few even
ings ago, he observed that he had Chang,
the Chinese. giant, for a neighbor. A lit
tie natural curiosity led him to note the
bill of fare of the giant. First, Chang
ordered oysters, raw, ON the shell; next
steamed osyters on toast, then green tur-
tie and printantiere soups, and after that,
fish, including broiled shad, tilet de sole.
sauce, tartare, and broiled salmon with
lobster sauce. The reporter thought
Chang would stop there, but the giant
politely signified to the attendant that he
was waiting for the next article on his
written bill. So he had for his entrees
turkey wings, jardiniere, and chicken
croquettes and tomato sauce. Then he
attacked with gusto roast ribs of beef and
half a chicken stuffed, accompanied by
fried parsnips, sugar corn and boiled
onions. He appeared to weary at this
point, and mildly asked for small plate
of plum pudding. a piece Of apple pie and
little ice cream, to which he subse-
quently ordered small cup OF cafe nolr.
The proprietor was noticed Illuminating
in quiet corner, and apparently specu-
lating as to the advisability of an early
assignment for the benefit of his credi-
tors. To question by the reporter as to
Changes appetite, he replied with an
earnest sigh:
Don't speak of it; my gracious! new
er have had such an experience. When
Captain Bates, Barnum's giant, was here
| was surprised to see how little food he
required to sustain his immense frame,
but this Chinese giant has the stomach of
an ostrich and the appetite of a goat.
Mind you, these dishes are not of the or
der received by old diners-out, many of
whom have gone through with much
longer list, but they are what we in the
business call fell PORTIONS that is, any
one of the dishes eaten by him this even
ing would satisfy the hunger of an ordin
airy man. l don't want any more giants
if they are blessed with the appetite OF
Chang. Why, contracted to entertain
him at the rate of 81 day! Just casl
your eye over bill of fare and see what
would receive for the same meal from
my regular customers"
The reporter did so, and found that ht
would be compelled to pay exactly $500
for similar repasU.
The restaurateur continued: NOW
you figure it up. There is 1896 for one
meal. Well, he has three other table ex
ercises during the day, and one or two
bites, as he calls them. Then he goei
to the bar-room, and to the inquiries o.
his manager and others as to his health
replies:
II don't feel velly well; lost appetite.

A NEW DISCOVERY!
Spiritualism Explained,

The question of questions
with the learned and unlearned,
the materialist, scientist, re-
ligionists, and in TACT every
body, is "What is Modern
Spiritualism?" Is it a verify or
is it all a llumbug? Can it be
explained from a physiological
standpoint and does it come
under the head of Physics, or
does it come from supernatural
causes and without laws or or
der. That the phenomena ex-
lists, is beyond dispute, whether
it will ever be explained re-
mains to be seen. That some
spirits can be seen, handled
and made use Ito I. 6 good az,
vantage as well as explained is
also a tact to which all drug
gists and chemists can testify.
They need not be named, be-
cause their name is legion.

medicines through which spirits

restoring the health of the al

has many other things in which
it seeks to make itself useful
and to benefit mankind. The
book department furnishes tn
provisions upon which hun

A Burglar Ragged.

Wednesday night, about 2:30 officer
Dempsey, while going his rounds, discovered
a man moving about in tho millinery estab-
lishment of L, Bsumen, No. FOG Elm street.
Tho officer watched his movements and
found that the man was ransscking the
drawers, shelves and show cases. He was
satisfied that the party was burglar, and
he called TO his assistance Mr.. w. |. Dial.
They continued TO watch the party, who was
busy making his selections, and in tho mean
time they discussed the matter as to how
they should como at their man without
giving him a show TO mako his escape. They
needed another person to assist in guardin,
tho avenues of escape, and Mr. Dial fired
several shots in the air which brought officer
Clapp promptly TO tho spot.
When the shots were fired
tho burglar was seen to secrete himself be-
hind the counter in the store. The captur.
ing party effected an entrance by breaking
in door, and the burglar was soon in their
clutches. On the floor was large bundle of
goods, consisting of ladies' dres; goods, fine
lsces, jewelry, artificial flowers and other
articles which were worth several hundred
dollars. Ho had gained an entrance through
q rear window opening into the work room.
The officers carried him before Justice Price,
who committed him to Jail to await tho
action Of tho grand jury. lie gave his name
as Alex. Burlsnd, and he Is a Swede, who
has been in the United States for nine years.
He Is u stout built man, aud the police are
of the opinion that no is professional
