LIKE THE MILKuAy,s HORSE

Ex-senator Conkling has been a good
deal of problem to the politicians, since
his enforced retirement from public life.
Until day or two since he has said moth
ing tending to elucidate the puzzle. Since
the recent New York Republican conven-
ton has swallowed up the half-breeds and
the professors of political purity and pro-
priety and the old machine stalwarts
hold the fort again, Mr.. Conkling
has mellowed, and his talk shows that pol
itics are not entirely banished from his
thoughts. He was at Washington the
other day trying law suit, and one of his
admirers questioned him, inquiring if he
expected to go into politics again. ooh.
no. said the senator,"I am engaged in re-
pairing my finances, and am doing very well
IN fact am just where 1 want to be for
the next four or FIVE years. 1 now feel
about politics good deal like the milk
mans horse and this is his story of the
milkman's equine aforesaid.
There was a poor but honest and enereat;c
man over in my city who went into the milk
business. He started by carrying his milk yea
sells around by hand. In time his business grew
to such proportions that he had to buy horse
The horse had been in the service of his country
at one tune. The old milkman went on doing
well, his horse doing him good service, until one
DAY he stepped IN front of the house of one his
customers and went in to deliver his milk
While IN the house the fire alarm struck, and the
horse started down the street as hard as he could
go: Away went the milk cans, wagon, and all,
inns Old horse had been in the fire depart
ment service, and when he heard the cali he
went. so you see the application: s'When the
people call will CO."
The symptoms are that it may not be so
very long before my Lord Roscoe will think
he hears the fire alarm, and like the old
War-horse, he seems already to snuff the
confiagration from sfar, and is already
prepared to dump his professional milk
cans in the deep, deep sea, and take his
pace IN the line once more, just as if moth
ing had happened.

know of one instance of lawyer who is a

to rather more intelligence than his col.

if it amounted to clearance, by saving
that as for himself he never had anvtbino

INSAHB FRESHMAN.
A6RESTED FOR SHOOTING 1T BRIT
ISL CONSUL IN NEW TOFK.
Tho Han SiolflY and Insane and Shooting
body.

New YORK, Sept. 25.-There was great
excitement in the neighborhood CT the
British consulate this afternoon, caused
by reports of two pistol shots and seeing
hatless man running at the top CT his
speed. The fugitive was pursued and
captured by policemen. He gave his
name as Feeney and it was then learned
he had attempted to take the life of the
British consul by firing two shots at him.
When the prisoner was taken to the station
house he described himself as John A.
Feeney, aged twenty-six years, an Irishman
by birth and a coachman by trade. His
| appearance was sickly and he said he had
been recently discharged from a hospital
in Buffalo. He declared he had come
from Canada on purpose to kill the Brit
| ish consul, who had been IibelllDg his
character. It was evident he was insane.
| A complaint being preferred against him
| by Edmund Prentiss and David O'Donnell,
| of the British consulate, he was taken to.
! the Tombs police court for examination.
When Feeney entered the outer room of
the British consulate he drew a seven
chambered revolver and fred two shots,
apparently without any aim and without
hitting any one.
Feeney is held for trial, although evil
IDENTIFY insane. In court he acted in q wild,
excited manner, shouting that he wanted
to kill the villains who accused him of
crime and published stories against his
character. To reporter he said ne had
been arrested in Dublin without cause and
locked up in Jail, while ne was offered
$500 to swear falsely against fellow
prisoner. He refused and when it became
known he had informed others of the offer,
made him he was locked up in a stage
coach and conveyed to Liverpool,
where he was placed on
board the Circassia and landed in
Toronto. There he was placed in the in
sane ward of a hospital. He was finally
released, and went to Buffalo. Five weeks
ago Monday he came here, intending to
! try to get back to Ireland. Yesterday he
went to the British consulate and asked
what communication they had received
from London about him. He was told
they knew nothing about him. To-day he
went there again, and asked the name of
the person who was publishing blasphe-
nous letters against his character. "Ihey
laughed at me-" he said, sand I then cried
defend yourself! I'll lose my life for my
charactern and fred" Nothing is known
about Feeney in this city, and there is nc
| doubt he IS insane,
