: The Troy Times, which has been
very friendly to Mr.. Conkling, COM
ments thus upon his recent speech 4:
"Mr. Conkling's speech before the
Saturday Night Club in New York
makes almost as large q draft upon
the forbearance of the friends of the
ex-senator as did the resignation Of
his seat in the Senate. Mr.. Conkling
sometimes chooses to be wise and
sometimes otherwise. A man with
his many parts ought to be wise all
the time"

THE RELATIVES OF TIE CAB1-
NET.

1t is not surprising that the aver
age office-holder believes that one OF
his first duties is to provide for his
relatives. He eees the highest off,
GERS in the land bestowing positions
upon their kindred, and he becomes
a convert, not only to the doctrine
that to the "victors belong the
spoils," but that the spoils belong to
his family. A censorious world calls
the application Of the doctrine "Nep-
otismn-that is favoritism to aephews
and other relatives, but the Office
holders define it as "holding on and
making use of good thing when you
get it," And they hold on and use
it even if takes the united strength
of their brothers, sons, sons-in-law,
uncles, & .nts and cousins to brace
their grip. The result is they
squeeze the lemon" for all it is
worth and throw the improbable
skin to the hungry lookers-on. AS
we have said, the average ofice-hold-
er has the practice of those occupy
ing high places in the councils Of the
nation to guide him in this matter.
According to the New York Sun
MI. Folger recently appointed Capt.
Burrill to fill the vacancy in the Blu
reau OF Engraving and Printing
caused by the death of Mr.. Irish.
Now he has appointed his own son,
Charles w. Folger, to take Burrilrs
place as clerk in charge of supplies
and proposals.
Mr.. FreIinghuysen enjoys the SO
ciety of John Davis, his son-in.law
as First Assistant Secretary of State.
Mr.. Davis was appointed over the
head of William Hunter, who bad
been in the Department for nearly
half a century.
Mr.. Teller, Secretary Of the Inte-
rior, was "much surprised" when he
discovered through the newspapers
that a profitable place had been pro-
vided in one of the Territories for his
brother.
Mr.. Lincoln's father-in-law, James
Harlan, is one of the Judges on the
Alabama Commission. He was a
reripatetic preacher before he took
up politics as a trade.
MI. Chandler's son, who ought to
be still at school, has been appointed
Secretary in one of the Territories in
in order that he may grow up with
the country.
brewster, Attorney General
provided his adopted son, a promis-
ing youth, with an easy chair in the
Department Of Justice and a salary
he can never earn. The Attorney
General has also provided for others
of his household at the public ex-
pense.
MI. Howe, when Postmaster-Gen
eral, appointed his son us Chief Clerk
of the Department. Mr.. Howe had
formerly held an inferior clerkship
in the District Attorneys office at
Washington. He is now n of the
purely ornamental assistants OF
brewster, Attorney-General."
It forms a charming family picture
when these Cabinet officers and their
sons, and their stepsons, and their
sons.in-law, and their brothers meet
on payday at the Treasury to draw
their salaries for having supported

WASHINGTON Gossip.

WASHINGTON, May 22-Ihe1 hteT-
Oceans Washington special says the
of Richard Crowley in
Washington and the fact that he
spent some time with President Ar
thur this evening has caused some
comment among gossips. 1t was re-
n0rted not long since that a breach
had occurred between the President
and Crowley that would not soon II
ever. be mended. The cause OF the
trouble was never made clear, and
afterward Crowley denied that any.
differences existed between him ana
the President. It is stated Tonight,
however, that a GOODNESS did spring
up between the two owing to a mis-
understanding regarding some mat
ters of importance to Crowley's con-
stituents. and that Attorney General
Brewster helped to widen the gap.
The statement, however, is very in
definite, and the fact that Crowley
has been seen at the White House
very recently and in close converse
ton with the President, strengthens
the belief that the rumOrs of the dis
ruption has little if any foundation,
but q long interview of it is given in
another class of gossips.
They say Arthur has been, for a
long time, very anxious to get Folger
out of the cabinet, but Folger has
been so largely sacrificed since he has
been in the cabinett that the President
does moi feel like throwing him over
board altogether. He is therefore,
about to withdraw Minister Lowell,
against whom there has been so much
complaint on account of the Irish
troubles, and send Folger to the
court of st. James. This, gossips say,
wonld be a nice way to provide for
Folger, and then he will give his
friend Crowley the treasury portfolio.
It is actually asserted that the Presi-
dent sent for Crowley to come and
see him and that the proposed change
in the cabinet was the subject of their
interview tonight. The gossip is
given for what it is worth.
Major General Mcdowell arrived
from San Francisco. The following
story was published here quite re-
Gently, that a prominent army officer
was ordered away from Washington
to join his regiment in the field, at
his own request, as stated in the Off
cial order. The fact then came to
light that he had sold his pay ac-
counts to no less than three or four
banking concerns which make a
practice of discounting army officers
pay. The name of Col. A. P. Nor
row is freely mentioned in connec-
ton with the above publication. He
was, until ordered to join his regi-
ment, an officer on General Sher-
mans staff.
The Attorney General has given
his opinion to the Secretary of the
Treasury that under the provisions of
the act approved March 3, 1883, no
tax a be collected on the deposits
and capital of national banks since
the first day of last December. The
Attorney General says he is of the
opinion that duties are not assessable
or collectible Oh deposits and capital
stock of the National Banking AS
ISOLATION; for persons, between the
date of the act of March Sd and Jan.
l, 1883, nor ON the deposits and CAPT.
tai of other banks and bankers from
the period of the date of said act to
Dec. l, 1882.

CYCLONES.

ena have SO filed the human mind
with terror as wind disturbances.
hurricanes, cyclones and immense
rainfalls and floods. People in all
time have bowed before these occa-
sions with a recognition of the pow
erlessness of human might in the
presence of these exhibitions Of a
higher power. The mythology Of the
ancient Greeks pictured Jupiter
grasping a handful of thunderbclts
ard controlling the changes of wealth
er. In the march of knowledge
there is no question OF science
in which there has been so
large an admixture of speculation
with fact as the attempt to reduce
the phenomena attendant upon
storms under general laws.
It seems to be we'll established that
hurricanes are most prevalent at the
tropics, which fact supports the the
DRY that atmospheric disturbances
are caused directly or indirectly by
changes of temperature, in which the
heated air rises and the air from
colder regions rushes in to supply its
place. The course of the trade winds
flowing towards the equator from
the colder regions of the north, and
being turned IN an easterly direction
by the rotation of the earth, and the
invariable course of land and e
breezes, are in support of this accept
ed theory.
The popular idea of a cyclone is an
immense whirlwind. It is defined
to be a rotary wind moving in a
straight line. In point of fact the
winds in these fearful storms are
not rotary, but move forward with
the d~irectness and force Of a mighty
deluse. They have their worthless
and points of greatest intensity, and
suggest to the MIND in a much larger
degree the action of the common
whirlwind, picking up chips and
lighter articles lying in its path.
The phenomena of meteors, heat,
floods, earthquakes, cyclones and
pestilence being synchronous in the
worlds history have led to the belief
that morbific influences exist indie
pendent of the earth. There is an APP
parent periodicity in the occurrence
of the visitations of meteorological
calamities-hot summers, severe VIM
tiers, wind disturbances, hurricanes
cyclones and earthquakes. W. may
attribute these things to terrestrial
magnetism and electrical activity,
and say that the earth in its orbit is
brought occasionally under cometic
influence.
OF late years the spots on the suns
disc have been made the subject of
close study. 1t has been observed
that these spots are OF rapidly vary
ing shape and size; that they increase
and diminish at regular intervals;
and that they are simultaneous with
solar activity as felt on the earth.
The fact that storms, droughts, floods
and famines, which are always ac-
companied by plague and pestiIence,
seem to occur at these periods of solar
energy, has fixed a theory in the
minds of scientific men that terres-
trial changes are in some way de-
pendent upon them. The spots on
the sun are the tides of that body.
They change in every eleven years
aud six weeks. The years 1881 2
were predicted by astronomers as the
time for the sun spot minimum. The
terrestrial changes are not fully coin
cident with these periods; they only
approximate to them. It may be
that the year 1883 is the fateful year.
