cr is now living an invalid at his home
in Malone, N. Y. He il said to be but
the mere wreck Of his former self; his
eyes are snnken and duh, and his COM
plcxion sickly. His relatives st,ldiously
keep him from either public or social
assemblages. He clings tenaciously to
his physician, DR.. Gay, who is i'm al
most constant attendance. II the latter
defers his stated visits but for an hour,
he is sent for at once. Not night
passes that the physician does not attend
and assist the sufferer to procure q
semblancc Of sleep.
Ex-senator Roscoe Conkling is
thought to be in these days happier
man than when in the Senate. Those
who know best say that political ambi-
ton is wholly dead with him, and that
he not only more keenly enjoys the
practice at the bar than he ever did
any exercise Of political duties. but that
the appreciation of the value of money
and the proper use Of it have come full
" to him now. He enjoys his social
life, such Is it is. his athletic exercises,
his fast horses. the companionship OF
agreeable and witty companions. and
the wrestling with acute intellects in the
courtroom. Heals still enjoys the max
ing Of sententious and sharp cpigrams.

BY women, but here reserved for men,
i that Of usher in the theatre. In
many. women have charge of the sale
of seats in the box Office. They wear
dainty white muslin caps with great
red or blue satin bows on them, and in
their neat gowns add much to the
decorative effect. If you drop the
smallest article they will restore it to
you. just before leaving the theatre
the other evening. says 4 lady now

ladies in our party discovered that she
had lost her eyeglasses. .You will
find them at the hos-officc,' said the

she had been promenading in the
foyer she supposed the glasses had been
trampled upon.

Nav YORK HERALD: When we con-
slider that we are the most inventive
people in the world it is surprising that
We have made no advance as regards
the speed of our vessels since 1861,
when thirteen knots an hour was easily
accomplished by the Iroquois and the
Seminole. The Atlanta tried the other
day TO keep up fourteen-knot rate for
six consecutive hours and miserably
failed. 1t is clear that new type of
boiler and engine must he called into
requisition if we want to hold our own
with the navies Of Europe.
