can ranks and TO kill John Kellyism IN Kew
York, two communications devou!ly 10 DO
wishod by the Democratic party;
We arc not surprised that Mr.. ConkliDg
has determined to attend to his own "yndi-
catlon"-which includes Platt-in his own
peculiar and impressive way. Nor are we
surprised TO learn that after degrading Vice.
President Arthur by compelling him to beat
his true and steadfast ally, Mr.. John Kelly.
Mr.. Conkling should now seek and got tho
alliance of Mr.. Tilden-with all
that is eimplied thereby There
Is no particular concealme-t Of the
new combination of ConkliDgism and Til
denism that proposes to steal power jointly.
1t leaked out in the state sensts last Friday,
when Senator Jacobs notified the "half-
breads" that they need expect no moro help
from the Democrats The hand was that
of Jacobs, but the ice was that Of Iilden.
The Times rep,t Of the Conkling
conference" sheds moro light
on the "alliliance. 1t says: A
reporter of the Herald sent up his card
and 10 few minutes was received by MIR.
CoDkling, who talked with him for about
ten minutes. Immediately sfterSsrd
Times reporter sent his card to Mr., Conk-
ling, and almost at the same instant Mr..
William q. Whitney, corporation counsel of
this city, sent his card to Mr.. Conkling by
another waiter. The two walters lacended
the staircase less than dozen steps apart.
In few moments they returned. The
waiter with the Times reporters card SAID,
addressing the hotel clerk, "The gentleman
he wishes to SEQ in No. 38 is net H." The
sound Of his voice had not died away when
the waiter who had carried up MIR. Whit
ney's card, looking at the clerk over the first
walters shoulder said: "Thirty- eight says
the gentleman will please step up stairs!"
Mr.. Whitney continued moment in con-
versation with an acquaintance, and then
went up to Mr.. Copkllng's room, and re-
NAMED there considerable while, Mr.. A.
B. johnson meantime coming down stairs
and taking quiet walk up and down the
corridor. Whitney means Tilden. The coales-
cence between the boldest, most uDscrupu !
lous and reek 'ess elements of the republican |
party and the mesnest elements of the demo- |
cratic party-as represented respectively by |
Conkling and Iilden-promises to be /
''solid'' and complete. Let the
coalition go Cd. 1t would be
worth a six months struggle, convulsing the !
whole state, to kill out ConkliDgism and
root and branch.

Another prisoner .straightway poked

After reading me the warrant, he remarked
there was also a warrant for Mrs. Boy In,

done it, as she knew / was opposed to it and
che had likewise expressed herself, and we
both knew that it would be the height of
folly, and both believed that the boy would
be acquitted.
AT the conclusion Of the evidence in the
examining court 1 stated to the
court that though claimed
the innocence of both Mrs. Boykin

sufficient to bind over any one, L wished to
share any supposed guilt of hers, and if she
we're bound over l desired to be bound over

act. This have never done by the slightest
intimation or innuendo.

THE FUTURE.

Tomorrow never comes. 1t is always the
day which follows the present. The past is
gone and can never be recalled. The present
moment is all we can claim as our own. Ev-
erything connected with the future is uncer-
tain. Tomorrow we may be in eternity.
Tomorrow we may be reduced to beggary.
Before to. morrow's sun shall rise, any event
which is in the range Of possibility may trans'
pire. Laboring under the influence of q
strange delusion, we are prone to indulge the
baseiess hope that we will do better and be
better in the future than we are at present, or
ever have been in the past. "Can the leopard
change his spots2" If he can, then there is
ground for reasonable hope that those who
are always planning will some day accomplish
something. Mere planners cannot effect any.
thing. There must be something more be-
sides resolves The worst of men, as rule,
vaguely purpose to break off from sin. They
love sin, but fear the final consequences of sin.
They, in kind of mental vaguery, contem'
plate turning to the Lord at some future
time. Each day, however, finds them no bet
ter than they we're on the preceding one.
Not only so, but generally they grow worse.

A DISHEARTENED INVENTOR.

1t was in smoking car on the Hudson
River road. A New Yorker was exhibiting
an invention to several gentlemen, when an
old farmer, with a settled look Of sadness on
his face, heaved sigh and said:
Il never see such things without wanting
to weep"
"Nothing about the invention to weep over
that can see" replied the inventor.
"Wall, it sort O. calls up old recollections.
Twenty years ago this month / thought had
fortune in my grasp. Yes, sir; believed
I had struck the biggest thing since steam
was brought into use."
"What was it?"
"One day when the old woman was flat
down with her lame leg had to cook my own
dinner. After I'D got the pancake batter all
fixed up l couldn't find the CREASED rag the
old woman used to rub over the spider. Sort
of absent-minded like, 1 picked up a piece of
raw turnip and used it instead. 1t worked to
a charm no smell, no smoke, no stick"
He paused here to wipe away a tear, and
then continued:
There was the fortune. figured that
100000 creased rags were in use in this
country nine months in the year. Fifty
thousand barrels Of grease were used up greas-
ing spiders. Over 100000 wasted and gone.
One turnip would make six greasers-1 900
bushels would make enough to supply the
country. All that was needed was to cut
them out in fancy style, afix handle, and
60 to supplying the demand at ten cents
each"
There was money in it."
"No, there wasn't. l bought 100 bushels
of turnips, $50 worth of wire, and hired two
men to 90 to work, and then l took some
greasers and went over into Vermont to see
how it would take. They wouldn't have it.
They had something more simple and much
cheaper"
"What could it have been ?"
"They spit on the spider" replied the old
man, as tear made break down his nose
and was swallowed up in the dust on the
foor.-Erchange.

PROTECTING PLANTs.-If little chloride
of lime be sprinkled on the soil rats, mice and
insects will soon desert it. Plants may be

Fruit trees may be guarded from their attacks
