MR.. CONKLIyG.

We suspect, says the Virginia Chron.
icle. that Mr.. Conkling intends to take a
pretty active part in politics within the
next year or two. His declination of the
Justiceship is, indeed, public notice to
that effect. He is not the kind Of q man
to beat a retreat-no matter how orderly
and honorable-before the enemy, and it
is more than likely that he will ere long
engage a good deal Of painful attention
from the whimpering. ~sniveling and
hypo3ritical half breeds.

And from her belt . lily pale

But oft she'd sit and weep.

Once wandered DER the hills and msads,

New YORK, March 9.-The Graphic's
London special says: There has been to-
day a sudden, and what appears as prom
Using to be, an alarming fall IN prices OF
nearly all European securities dealt In at
the London Stock Exchange. The ad-
mitted cause of this decline is the pre-
valence OF the belief, based on apparently
authentic reports, that Russia has plainly
refused to render Germany q satisfactory
answer in relation to General Skobeleff S
recent warlike speech.
LONDON, March 9.-The Times Constan-
tinople correspondent says: 1t Is feared
in official circles that war between Russia

WOR M.EATEN " OOE.

A number of worn and worm-ea.eI
pieces of wood were lately shown at the
Public Works Department. They wer )
specimens of wood which had been IN
use as piles and tenders on Government
wharves and breakwaters on the Allan
tic and Gulf coasts, and had been sent
to the department as illustrative of the
necessity OF the frequent renewal OF
timbers in these constructions.
One was a piece of hemlock timber
from the railway wharf at Point Duche-
ne, N. Is. This piece, which had been III
uss as fender, put on in 1873 and re-
moved last year, was, by the ravages OF
worms and the incessant action, of the
sea, reduced to about one half its for
mer circumference, excepting the knots.
the hardness of WHICH had preserved
them intact, giving tic timber the ap
pearance of docaysd tree, having the
limbs Topped of ABOUT six inches from
the stem. Another, a part of a pile Ia

the incapability of these dc
scriptions of wood to resist the ravages
of the destructive little creatures. 1t is
not only the weakening of the timber
by the psrforatiens of worms that reu-
ders it useless in short time, but the
wood having become once porous there
by, it il rendered susceptible to the con-
tinuous action of the water, and is thus
worn down with wonderful rapidity.
These worms vary in size i'll different
waters, and the appearances of similar
wood exposed for any length of time in
the waters of the Gulf and those of the
Atlantic Ocean, might be compared to
that between the finer and coarser varie.
ties of sponge. Some kinds of wood are
more impervious to worms than others;
thus in localities where spruce and hem
lock timber would. in a short time, be-
come thoroughly worm eaten, birch and
elm would remain intact for years. vet
in all cases it is but n matter of time,
and only solid stone is Of sufficient d.
ration to Withstand effcctually the raw
ages Of these worms and the constant
wearing of the waters.

many suppose, be confined TO railroad
land, nor even to the Land lying within
the railroad limits. but will be discre-
tionary with the director of this survey,
who may extend it TO any contiguous
region OF country that he may deem ad-
visable. 1t is expected in some places
to extend the survey as far northward
as the British possessions, the aim be
ing to not only give the company some
thing Of a definite idea Of what may be
expected Of the country lying immedi-
ately along the road. bat also the re.
sources and adaptabiiity Of the differ
ent sections of country that may be tap
ped by branch roads. and the facilities
for building them. 1t will probably re-
Quire several years to complete the
work. This is taking greater pains than
any railroad company has heretofore
done. and it would certainly appear TO n
casual observer that much will be done
without hope of remuneration, and a
great expense incurred without q pro
liability of a return. but, on second
thought, one cannot fail TO see how pre-,
eminently the company makes Itself
master of the situation by having these
material facts in its Professionalism
