London special: Parnells speech is gener-

to Parnells speech was the phrase declaring

EX-SENATOR onkling's Campaign.
On Friday there was one bollot taken for
each vacancy, in which Conkling gained one
and Platt two votes. The vote for Cornell fell
off for the short term, and Depew remained
the same for the long term, showing that the
combination of Depew and Cornell has made no
Roadway. Platt and Depew are now even for
the long term, and Conkling is far ahead OF all
republican contestants for the short term.
On Saturday, in joint convention, votes were
taken for successors to ConkGng and Plat, but
with no important change, and the convention
adjourned until Monday.
On Monday the vote in the legislature was
the ightest yet taken. Only 100 members out
of the 100 were present. There were no ma
vacancy.
On Tuesday, 9TH, Cenkling received only
thirty -four votes. Platt held at twenty
eight, while Depew ran up to forty two. Conk-
ling thus remains AZ short of election. Plat So
and Depew 80, assuming all members as vot-
ing. Gov Cornell fell behind somewhat, while
Miller lost heavily. Their gains and losses,
however, are not significant, except in Depew's
case. His friends claim tonight that they will
raise him to from fifty to fifty five
The vote on the 9Th for Conkling's success
sor stood: Jacobs (dem.) so; Conkling 81 !; Cor
nell l9; Wheeler 21; Lapham 9; Rogers 5;
and eight scattering. The vote fo-. a.successor
to Platt stood: Herman, 81 Depew 81; Crow
ley 4 Platt 20; Folger 4; Tremaine 1, Cornell
IS; Lapham 4; B. F. Tracy 1. In the assem-
bly, concurrent resolution that the legislature
adjourn sine die on the 10th inst, was laid
over under the rule.
On Thursday, 9th, a startling sensation was
produced by Mr. Bradley, in the assembly, who
rose to question of privilege and stated that
he had received So, 500 to pay him if he would
vote for Chauncey M. Depew instead of Platt,
which sum he had handed over to the speaker.
He therefore asked for a committee of invest-
cation. The speaker corroborated the state
ment, and said he had the money in his pock-
et In the course of the debate several men,
bers said they had been offered money for
their votes. The investigation las ordered,
and Mr.. Bradley said it was Mr. Sessions who
offered him the money, but Mr.. Sessions denied
the charge.
The Dalloting of the day was without materi-
al change, Depew had 50 to Platts 20.

A Child's Sympathy.

A CH1LD's eyes! those clear wells Of
unde6led thought-what on earth can
be so beautiful Full of hope, love and
curiosity, they meet your own. Inprayer,
how earnest; in joy, how sparkling; in
sympathy, how tender! The man who
never tried the companionship of little
child, has carelessly passed by one of
the pleasures of life, as one passes a rare
flower without piucking it or knowing its
value. A child can not understand you,
you think; speak to it of the holy things
OF your religion, Of your grief for the
loss of a friend, Of your love for some
one you fear will not love in return; it
will take, it is true, no measure or sound
ings Of your thought; it will not Judge
how much you should believe, whether
your grief is rational in proportion to
your loss, whether you are worthy ur e.
to attract the love which you seek; BIZ
its whole soul will incline to yours, and
ingraft itself, IS itwere, on the feeling
which is your feeling for the hour. =

The Late Frank Buckland,

TIE death of Francis Trevelyan
Buckland-better known as Frank
Buckland-announced from London,
has been expected, as he has been in
wretched health for some time past.
His father, the geologist, Dean of West
minister, a most accomplished man, lost
his reason some time before his death.
Frank auckland, who was born in 1926,
was a student of Winchester College,
and afterward at Christ Church, Ok.

given up to the study of the natural sci
ences, and he was recognized authori.

food fishes. Few men of science were
SO popular in England. He was pub.
lie benefactor through his Introduction
of the new varieties of fish for food, and
especially through his successful cult.
vation of salmon and trout. In social
life he was one of the most charming of
men, despite the fact that his house was
really q kind of combination of the
aquarium with the geological gardens,
so full was it of birds and beasts and
fishes. Whoever loved him loved per-
force not his dogs only, but his casso-
warys and his crocodiles. The story
might have been told of him which was
true of Agassiz, that when his wife one
morning found in one Of her slippers a
cold, little, Shiny snake, one of six sent
the day before to her scientific spouse,
and carefully set aside for safety by him
under the bed, and, upon the startling
discovery, started back, crying out in
terror: "Agassiz! Agassiz! there is a
snake in my slipper!"- response Of
the savant was, as he rose suddenly up
from his couch: "a snake! Good
heavens, where are the other fres" At
home Frank auckland sat in q cumbrous
old chair, which he valued highly be-
cause it had once belonged to the famous
John Hunter. Its uncomfortable angles
we're disregarded by him-they were
convenient for the monkeys. These
small men sat aloft, and were free to
pounce down on his. proof-sheets at will.
A retired organ monkey was a great
fayorite, and shared with his afflicted,
but always cheerful, savant the frugal
meals to which physicians limited him,
.asting everything in turn, even to the
,laret and water.-New York World.

weight of the iron employed in its con-

for his own use a steam road-wagon,
which is expected 10 make good time on

looks very much like an ordinary wagon,
except that it has NO shafts, and weighs
but $50 pounds. 1t is designed 20 run
twenty-five miles without having the fire
renewed, and will cost abou: S4C0.
Fourteen similar machines are engaged
by people in Biddcford and its vicinity

In a memoir recently published at
Christiania, Herr Sophus Tromboldt
considers that it mayb accepted as GER
tain that the aurora borealis is q local
phenomenon, circumscgibed by very mar
row limits, and occurring not far from
the surface of the earth. The light, he
finds, from careful comparison of 4
large number of observations, is gener-
ally white, though sometimes red or
green; but further north than Bergen
the aurora often presents spectral col
ors. He believes, also, that there is now
evidence enough to accept the statement
that auroral displays are sometimes At
tended with sound. Some late inven-
tons ought to be able to set this last
alleged fact beyond dispute.
