 The New York World is very anxious to
 see MT. Conkling made senator, but the Buff l falo Commercial Advertiser, edited by James | D. Warren, chairman of the New York Re | publican State committee, says: Thus far the proposition to send Roscoe Conkling to the Senate has not met with encouragement from single Republican newspaper in the State of New York, nor from a member of the Republican party of any importance. Certain Democratic journals are very san- guine; but they make a proposition that will be entertained only by the Democratic mi
 nority in the legislature For no Republi- can senator or assemblyman has been dis covered yet who falls in with the scheme to throw away the opportunity offered to tho Republican majority in order to gratify a Democratic minority
 A ten-ton tank of creosote oil was dis ] patched from Newcastle, England, to the l north. While it was passing along the Gale donian line at Blackford it was discovered that brass plug three inches in diameter in I the bottom of the tank, and used for empty | ing it, had fallen out The leakage was so | great that the ground between the rails for \ thirty yards was covered with oil fully three l inches in depth. The station master at Blackford and the porters endeavored to plug 1 the hole with waste, but before the leakage
 was stopped the tank was nearly empty By \ this time the stream of oil was rushing over the north embankment of the railway into an l adjacent field, where there is a drain leading
 to the river Allan, distance of 15O yards. l The oil, getting into the conduit, poured into
 the river, killing every living thing as far down as Dunblane. Thousands of fish lay | dead in the river no fewer than 300 being \ counted in one pool. The cells were all kill | ed, and number of water rats were poison | ed. The Allan is 8 favorite stream with anglers, but it is stated that years must
 elapse before the river is restored to the con dition in which it was before the accident ! All the fools are not dead yet. One of the living ones has been discovered by reporter of the Boston Globe. ''The greatest misfor- tune of young men about town" says the re- porter, 'fseems to be that they try to live a ! life of luxury on very small or moderate | salary. They wear expensive clothes, are 1 often seen at the theatres, frequently dine in | luxurious style at some swell restaurant, and | all this on salaries averaging not higher | than twenty or twenty-five dollars a week. ! How do they do it?' is often asked. Rather 1 impertinently, perhaps, I asked friend the ! other day for information on the subject. He said: Well, the fact is, I never enjoy
 myself so much as when living the kind of | life I have passed during the last two days. For instance, Saturday evening, dinner at Young's with a friend. We sat there and talked fully two hours while eating, as if | time were nothing to us. We enjoyed a meal | such Vanderbilt might have envied. Then came the theatre. Sunday morning at 10 o'clock we were again seated in Youngs ele- gant dining hall. We slipped our morning cocktail, ate our fruit, and when the other | courses were finished it was afternoon. In | the evening it was a table d'hote dinner in | the cosy little private apartments of the French restaurant I tell you that is what call enjoying life But interposed, 'how do you manage to do this on your small sala- | ry?' Well, he replied, two days of the week I live as if had an income of about | $4, 900 8 year. The remaining five keep ! myself in seclusion and move about without ! solitary nickel in my pocket. This is my | way of enjoying life.'" " This young man will probably come out at ''the little end of the horn" It IS possible that he may become a fnancier and yet be found enjoying himself 1 in prison.
