She would also be a conductor on

COMBINES OPINION.

Mr.. Conkling's utterances, at this
particular juncture, are regarded by
all with more than passing interest,
and the following from the OMAHA
Herald is not the least interesting of
the many good things he has said:
The electoral commission has de-
clared that Rutherfroud B. Hayes
(strong emphasis on i~talics) had re-
ceived the electoral voice of Louisiana.
After the accession Of Rutherfrdud
B. Hayes to the presidency, be
affirmed that Packard, who had re-
Gel we'd some 5000 votes less than
Samuel J. Tllden, was governor of
that State. If Packard was Cover
nor, then Rutherfraud (the word
evidently a sweet morsel) held his
plaza by the most palpable fraud ev-
er perpetrated.
Had Mr.. Conkling been half as
plain ia the denunciation of, and
contempt for the Great Fraud during
the memorable winter of 1867, the
will of the supreme people of this
country would not have been tram
pied under foot, Mr.. Tilden would
have been installed In the White
House, and MI. Conkling would be
the greatest citizen of this republic.
He missed his opportunity and now
snffers the consequence.

Tom Ochiltree Stumped.

The other day Tom Ochiltree went
to the Department of Justice. There
was 10 messenger in the hall. He
went into the room of the Clief
Clerk. which adjoins that of The
Acknowledgement. The Chief Clerk
looked up, but Ochiltree did not
regard him at all. He made straight
for the door leading to Brewester's
room,
"You cannot 60 in there now, said
the Chief Clerk.
Ochiltree stared at him a moment,
and said "Ah. I guess 1 can
sorry tosay so, but you cannot"
was the reply.
Then Ochiltree elevated his voice
"You don't know who l am

Ochiltree, for once in his life, was
almost embarrassed. He turned on
his heel and walked away, saying in
a louo voice;
"Why the devil didn't you have q
messenger outside to tell ME so??h
His red hair was Real uad.

NEW ;ORLEANs EXPOSITION.

The two great expeditions that
have been held at Atlanta and Louis
vile have awakened considerable
enthusiasm throughout the entire
South in that kind of display. All
the Southern States are showing q
disposition to cooperate for the sue
cess of the Cotton Centennial at New
Orleans next year, which promises
we'll. The Legislature of South
Carolina has just appropriated SIG. 600
for its exhibit, and 1t is regarded as
certain that North Carolina will
make an equally fine display. One
tobacco company In the latter place
has applied for 5000 square feet of
space, and proposes, it is said, to ex-
pend $4,000, illustrating every de-
partment of a tobacco factory. Other
exhibitions of the same kind will he
made, and tbs North Carolina min
eral exhibit, which attracted marked
'.ttention at the Boston Fair, will be
shown.

EUT. GREELY.

Engineer Melville, Of the Inflated
Jeanette expedition, IS of the opin-
ion that Lieutenant Greedy is safe.
Mr.. Melville is an experienced Arctic
navigator and Is not likely to express
an opinion in the matter without due
consideration. Lieutenant Greedy
started for Lady Franklin Bay some
two years and a half ago, to stay two
years. He vas provisioned for three.
His party cannot then be suffering
from starvation as yet. They also
had the material necessary to build
comfortable houses and hence no
fear need be entertained concerning
their exposure to the cold. As the
work assigned to this expedition was
to take meteorological and magnetic
observations, no special risk attached
to it. There was nc need for sledge
or foot, or any other trips over the
ice crags aud snow fields further
north. The only danger lies in the
possibility that Lieut.. Greedy should
have cirried out the order literally,
and attempted to force his way back
to Littleton Island as directed when
not reinforced or relieved at the end
Vt two years. 1t is probable, how
ever, that he, seeing the obstacles in
the way of a relief expedition conse.
quent upon the severe weather pre-
vailing during the two last consecu-
tive winters, detined the reason of
the failure of a vessel to reach Lady
Franklin Bay, and being able t hold
out another year at least, determined
to stay rather than attempt what his
expected fescuers could not accom-
plish, aud wait more favorable con-
ditions. Now, however, IL Is neces-
sary that Lieutenant Greedy should
be rescued and at all hazards
and without further delay, and the
fact that Congress granted an I'M
limited appropriation for that pur.
pose shows that it is alive to the
emergency. There must be no more
failures in this direction.

raF MAN, NOT THE WORDS.

Not long since a thlrd-rate lectur r
was introduced to his audience as
Marx Twain. The man uttered
some very common place remarks,
when the audience broke into a roar
of laughter. Hs attempted to ex-
plain that he Was not Mark Twain,
but his listeners, thinking it a part
of the funny lecture they were to
hear, continually interrupted the
now bewildered speaker with up
roarous applause. Astonished and
disguised at the conduct # the
audience, the lecturer Indignantly
left the platform. This was a clear
case in which the prestige of a name
provoked mirth.
Here is another instance, which we
find in the New York Mail and
Express, that proves the man and
not his words, is too frequently the
attraction. Had some unknown
opened a lecture with the same
words, he would have been Kissed
of the platform; "'There are some
bad consequences attending almost
every business said Mr.. Beecher
last night. DO not doubt that the
