What the Tribune Saws.
What the World Saws.

The World says 1.-The Presidents nomi-
nation appears to have been dictated by the
desire to put two conspirators and inconven-
lent republicans where they will do the least
harm. Mr.. Conkling
is undoubtedly an honest hater and good Fl ght-
er. Lord Kenyon was both but he made a
famous judge, and men as much noted at the
bar for an uniudicial temper at the bar have
so often confuted their critics by making ex-
cellent judges that it would be unsafe to pre-
dict that Mr.. Conkling would be bad Judge

COnkling's Nomination.

Conkling's nomination for the Supreme
Bench was a surprise to everyone at the Cap

recently received an intimation of it from the
President, but who kept the secret inviolably.
1t is this afternoon the absorbing topic for
comment. There seems to be no difference
Of opinion among the Senators as to Conk-
ling's eminent fitness for the position, but in
view of his declination of the Chief Justice
ship, offered him by President Grant, some
doubt is expressed by several of his intimate
friends as to whether he will accept the
present appointment. The general belief is,
however. that he has accepted it in advance of
his nomination..

What the New York Sun Says Of Conk.
ling's Appointment.

| The Sun saws of Conkling's nomination:
We are glad 10 be able to state that he mas
not sought this Office. and that he did not
even know that President Arthur intended to
confer such a compliment upon him. We
| have not been able of late years to agree with
| the political ideas and measure which Conk-
| ling has promoted, but this does not prevent
our saving that he possesses many qualities
necessary to Judge He is able, learned,
independent, proud and incorrupuble.
What the New York Herald Says.
The Heralds only comment is on the prob
abilities of Conklings accepting it and saws ::
If it were consistent with ConklIng's charac
ter to be warped by merely personal consid-
erations, from that disinclination to accept
the judicial duties which he signified eight
years ago, the proceedings of Senator Hoar,
yesterday, might have some influence in de-
termining his choice. When President Grant
nominated Hoar's brother to the place of as
sociate justice of the court Conkling op-
posed the confirmatioR of that nomination
and it was rejected. This allusions to the
motives of the course of Senator Hoar is a
sufficient explanation of it, but we regard
Conkling's sense of professional honor and
professional loyalty to the bench as far SUI
perior to any such considerations.
/ What the Times Says.
The Times saws: From Judge GRAY to
| Conkling is long step downward, and it will
be strange if this. nomination does not go far
toward forfeiting the respect which the Pres
ident had gained by his first judicial selec-
ton. The most friendly summing up of his
qualities would have to admit that whatever
else he may be he is not by nature, by study
or by experience the man fit for the exercise
of judicial functions in the court of the high
est jurisdiction and ultimate resort in this
! nation.
What the Tribune Says.
! The Tribune in very bitter article de-
clares the nomination as grossly unfit, be-
cause it is fragrant abuse of the appointing
power to use the Supreme Court bench to
pension broken down public man, who has
made himself to the last degree obnoxious to

Universal Language.

A French AHeratem of the name of
Sudre announces a plan for the COM
plete reversal of the divine decision de-
livered at the Tower of Babel and the
formation of universal language out
of the seven notes of music, do, ia, mi,
ia, sol, la Sd, which are pronounced in
the same way by all peoples. All the
words in his universal vocabulary would
be made with compounds of these
notes. The meaning attached to the
simple notes themselves would be; do,
no; ra, and;. ma, or; ia, to; sol, it; ia,
the; 50, yes. The feminine would be
formed by doubling final vowels g. g..
misifa, husband; mtsifaa, a wife;
and plurals by doubling the consonents
in final syllables, as GS a girl; fG
girls. M. Sudre has decided that the
adjective shall always follow the SUBJ
stantive; and according to the diction-
ary which he has complied, the sen.
tence 1--WE have an incapable govern
ment" would read: "Doddo sisolfasol
lassidore. M. Sudre is very inter-
esting person, and he should be en-
couraged.

A Clever Grow.

have had my Australian piping crow
for about two years. At first he was
quite uneducaled, and rather disrep-
utable looking party, but, with good
food and exercise, his musical talent
soon developed itself. He began with
the first part of "The Bells" then he
got off perfectly the trumpet call of
"Cease Firing" Charley is My Darl-
ing" mix My Dollie," and he is dill
ligently at work at "God Bless the
Prince" and has the first part fairly
well off. He fetches and carries like a
dog, and seems never tired of running
after a ball of crumpled paper and
bringing it back and putting it into
ones hand and waiting for another
throw. He will tumble about on the
floor and play more like monkey man
than bird. He will get into slipper
with string tied to it and allow him
self to be coached round and round the
room, holding on all the time to the
string. Some time ago we were troub-
led with mice, but Peter soon brought
them to sense of their situation. He
ferreted them out, chased them, killed
them, and, having duly washed them in
his water tin, hung them up to dry,
, picked them, and swallowed them. 1t
requires great perseverance training
these birds. They will eat almost any
thing. Some days ago our bird swal-
lowed a piece Of glass, and for two days
and nights was very i'll, moaning pitt
fully; but he at last brought itup in the
usual way hawks and owls do. He is
now quite recovered and in full song

married any more than a man?" "Sim-

How 70 Make En- Roar,

No. my boy. there are no rules for
writing funny that we know Of II fun
doesn't glide OF the point of your pen
easy and natural like, it is little use
scratching your head for 1t, and IL n did
come il would be q scratch. II there Is
any rule concerning funny writing, il
is, that the more you labor to be funny
the less fun you are likely to produce.
Funny. isn't 1t? but it is q fact. You
ask il 1t is better TO begin humorous
article with funny head. Most GER
tainly. A funny head is one of the
chief requisites in the business. The
greatest failures in humorous writing
have been made because the writer did
not have funny head to begin with.
II your head be only funny. you can
drive right along without any regard
to rules. Oh! we see, now. We have
mistaken your meaning. A funny head
ing is what you meant to say. Certain
ly, commence with funny heading,
and then you are all right; besides that,
you will have something to fall back on
if your article turns out TO be dull, as it
probably will. Crowd all the fun you
can into the heading, make 'em roar
over it, and maybe the laugh won't die
out until the end is reached, if the article
isn't too long.-Fdt Contributor.

A lady in Bath was recently much
alarmed by dreaming that someone was
holding her wrist. Vainly endeavor-
ing to scream for assistance. she suc-
ceeded at length in whispering just loud
enough to awaken herself. After few
minutes relief at being no longer under
the influence of the dream, she became
conscious that someone was really hold
ing her left wrist, and all her strength
was inadequate to release it. Whether
to call her hostess or not was easily de-
cided, for her terror rendered her rs
speechless as she had been before
awakening. 1t could not be that any
of her friends had Seized her wrist in
sport; it was too rigid clasp, and had
been continued some time, for her left
hand was cold fand numb. But Just as
she should be able to speak in mo-
ment she found the relentless grasp was
that of her own right hand, and not
easy to withdraw from its twin compan-
ion, so desperate had become its hold.

Here the animal gave him kick in

mud.
'.Always trying TO show off before

press his tears.
Nobody wanted the jackass and the
boy, mounting, rode to the next corner,
where about the same performance was
repeated. All day long he rode up and
down the street, extolling the gentle
qualities of the jackass and picking
himself up from the mud every time he
was pitched off. He stood up to the
rack with as much fortitude as Casa
blanca on the deck Of the burning shin
until he finally got bid of 50 for the
jackass. This seemed to entirely fat

from the jackass for the last time, and
turning homeward left the animal in

''Do you call this convenient seat?"
asked the pilgrim from the Altano.

"Yes, I am" was the proud reply.

TO CRAFTY HIS WIFE
An Interesting StOry-A hopeless Cas-
Cured. A Good Reason For
Happiness.

Statement of Mr.. Washington Monroe, of Catskil,
Green County, New York.
"For many years had suffered from a
complaint which the physicians called
gravel. 1 had employed some of the
most noted doctors without obtaining
any permanent relief, and for long
time my case was regarded as hopeless.
All who knew the circumstances said l
must die. Finally my wife induced me
to try bottle of DR.. Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy which she had somewhere heard
of or seen advertised. Without the
slightest faith in it but. solely to crafty
her, l bought bottle of druggist in
our village. I used that and two or
three bottles more, and-tomake a long
story short-I am now as healthy man
as there is in the country.
Since then have recommended 'Fa-
vorite remedy to Others whom l knew to
have suffered from kidney and livel
complaints; and assure the public that
the 'Favorite Remedy has done its work
with a similar completeness in every
single instance, and trust some othel
sick and discouraged morta
may hear of it and try the 'Favoritt
Remedy as did,"
