Roscoe Conkling's Club Life.

Opeclal 90 LhS 11OlanapOus journal.
NEW YORK, Sept 18.-Although his profes-
sional duties prevented Senator Roscoe Conkling
from accepting the presidency of the Carlton, he
passes all his leisure time therein--when not in
court or out driving the speedy bay mare that
Ed Stokes presented him in his exuberant de-
light over his speech on Jay Gould's rapacity in
the recent great telegraph suit. There is a table
in the dining-room that is known as Mr. Conk
lings and it is always reserved for him. Though
not practicing Banting, he is very moderate in
his selections His favorite dish, both for
breakfast and dinner, is English mutton chops
slightly underdone and baked potatoes very we'll
done. He never drinks anything stronger than
russell cider. He occasionally smokes mild
cigar There is a capaciops armchair in the
reading-room which he always appropriates, and
which not even such an audacious iconoclast as
the Hon. Thomas Porterhouse Ochiltree would
think of invading when there was the slightest
possibility of his being around. According to
club routine Mr. Conkling is very domestic
man. He is always ready to join in the general
conversation, but will never discuss politics ex-
cept with intimate personal friends. AS it is
evident he is so partial to the club it is rather
surprising he did not accept the presidency.

LAFAYETTE, Sept 18.-The celebrated case of
Center Township, Marion County, The l., D. & S.
Railway and the Board of Commissioners of Marion
County, which has been twice before the Supreme
Court, was again entered in the Tippecanoe county
Circuit Court last evening. The amount involved is
$S5 900, which was subscribed in aid of the Indiasa
g. Illinois Central railway in 1870 The L. D. & s.,
successor to the l. & /. O. claims the amount.
In the first trial Judgment rendered in favor of
Center township. In the appeal the railroad won,
the former decision being overruled In the latter
case. however, mistake regarding the location of
the company's machine shops rendered the complaint
void and to correct this mistake the suit has been

The other revelation is that Lieutenant HEM
is true blue after all, and Notwithstanding his
decidedly 'plebeian" bearing and manners. He
is a cousin of gallant Lieut. Charley Beresford,
and served with him before his marriage on the
man o. warsman Galatea Early in life he was
aboard a merchantmen. 1t is generally under
stood that the venture of bringing over the
cutter Galatea named after his old service ship
to try to wrest the cup from the center-bo
sloops built here, is that of the builder, j.
Beaver Webb who seeks advertisement as
ship builder. Webb has more to say about the
sailing than Lieutenant Hem, who is a much
more competent seaman. HEM could say moth
ing about accepting General Paine's proposal
for an ocean race in gale until he had sub
mitted the same to Webb who promptly de-
clined. Again, Webb had the tiller in the
races. The knowledge that the voyage
of the Galatca over here is an advertising
dodge of the builder puts very comical
aspect on the affair. Henn's bonhomie and con-
VITALITY, however, have won him many friends,
who wonder that man in his position should
persist in having himself officially addressed as

sumption of title many have doubted that he

rather smacks of assumption of undue authority

Death of Asher B Durand, One OF Americas
Most Famous Painters.

Death of Asher B. Durand, One of Americas
Most Famous Painters.
New YORK. Sept 1S.-Asher B. Durand, per-
haps the Oldest American painter of note died
yesterday at his home in South Orange, N. j.
Mr. Durand was born in 1876, at Jefferson, N.
J. His first noticeable work was the engraving
of Trumbulps well known picture, '"The Declara-
tion of Independence" which occupied him three
years. In 1885 he abandoned the graver for the
brush, having before this become a frequent
contributor Of portraits and landscapes in oil to
the National Academy Of Design exhibitions
At first he devoted himself to portraits and figure
subjects, but he turned his attention to land
scape painting in later years, and for
this he is chiefly known. His render
ing of mountain scenery, especially.
wss much admired, and he counted
among his best works ''Francena Mountain" "a
Primeval Forest" and 1.-THE Rainbow" His
studies of trees and foliage are also pleasing in
sentiment and execution In 1854 his portrait of
William G. Bryant, afterward engraved by him
self, was painted while among his historical
subjects are 1.-THE Capture of Major Andre" and
1.-The Wrath of Peter Stuyvesant" Mr.. Durand
was elected president of the National Academy
of Design at the death of Prof. Morse, and this
honorable position he held for many years. His
brush had for some years been idle, and he had
lived in retirement at his country home. Few
among his fellows were personally held in higher
esteem, both as an artist and a man, than Mr.
Durand. His nnetieth birthday was celebrated
by the gathering together of his friends at South
Orange, and congratulations and tokens of es-
teem were showered upon him. No arrange
ments have yet been made for the funeral

fought for $50 side in room near the Ex-

The Parnell Land Bill-A Review of the Case
of DAILY, the Alleged Dynamiter.


Special to the indianapolis Journal.
LONDON, Sept 18.-The Parnell land bill con-
tinues to agitate the members of the coalition
government, owing to the difficulty they will ex-
perience in keeping their party together and the
bringing out of the full vote of the Conserva-
tives aud Liberal Unionists against the measure
when the bill comes up for second reading A
number of the Chamberlainites have expressed
favorable opinion of the bill, and several Con-
servatives strongly favor it. This prospective
division is said to be the real cause of Lord
Churchills desire to delay taking up the second
reading of the bill. thus securing time in which
to compose the difference in the coalition ranks.
It is reported tonight that the government will

in n British prison, where he is undergoing a
life sentence, the London papers have been filed
with letters reviewing the case. The allegation

letters were found on Days person showing
that he intended throwing bomb in the House
of Commons; that the Parneite members were
to receive warning not to be present, and that
the leading statesmen, including Mr.. Gladstone,

the maglsterial examination there the police
testified that five internal machines were found

In a very interesting colloquy the other
day with one of Brooklyn's oldest and
most prominent medical men he said. as
we sat on the rear piazza Of the Grand
Union hotel, languidly gazing at the
robin redbreast hopping about the
sward.
This pure, balmy air is a perfect brain
roster. / can conceive of no greater
benefit to the tired business men of our
large cities than to come here for a few
weeks. His whole method Of life is com
pletely changed. Brain and body are at
rest; ovestrained nerves are relaxed and
the vital forces are renewed. / say to
all my patients when they are going GO
the mountains and lakes not to fight
against the tendency with which they will
become affected. Give way to it. II
after a long, sleepful night you feel
drowsy, sleep on. Sleep in the afternoon,
too. 1t is a mandate of nature that
should be. implicitly obeyed."
-How do you explain this strong dis
position to sleep, doctor7"
~very easily" he replied. I'm the city
ones occupation keeps the brain in con-
slant and tense action. Besides, there
are the thousand and one impress
sions that act unconsciously on the
minds. Noise, catching trains and boats,
reading the bulletin boards and signs as
we pass through the streets, and the
countless other small things we are eter-
nally and instinctively doing in cities.
Here our lives are sntipodean to all this.
The strain being removed, nature applies
herself to the task Of retrieving and reno
waiting the hard worked brain, and
she does it by making vi sleep."-Sara-

bearing the word spy" IN the noise of
the wheels and in the rolling OF the
drums the boys were practising on along
tie canal embankment- He reached
home at last, and went to his room at
once, thankful that his father had not
come home yet; the crown that seemed
30 heavy to him he hid under his pillow.
Father 6tenne had never been 20 good
OF 20 jolly as that evening when he came
home. The news from the provinces
was good, and prospects looked more
cheerful. While he was eating supper
the old soldier kept looking up at his
gun that hung from q nail in the wall,
and said to his boy with q good-natured
laugh:
Hey, little man, how you would go
for thoee Prussians IL you were big
enough" ..u
About 8 o'clock they heard the guns
booming.
That is at Auberyillien. They are
fighting at the Bourget. " said the old fell
low, who knew all the forts by heart.
Young Stenne grew very pale and went
up to bed, saying he felt tired. but he
could not get to sleep. and the guns kept
on booming, He fancied that he could
see the sharpshooters going outinto the
night, 30 as to surprise the P~russians,
and falling into an ambush themselves.
He remembered the sergeant who had
smiled at him, and he fancied he saw
him stretched out In the snow, and q
number of others with him. The price
OF all this blood was just there below his
pillow-and he the son Of Nj. Stenne,
the son OF a soldierl All! the tears were
choking him. In the next room he
heard his father walking up and down,
and then open the window. On the
square below they were beat to arms; a
militia battalion was forming, ready to
start. 1t was really a serious battle; he
could not keep back his sobs.
What is the matter" asked Father
Stenne, as he opened the door. The child
could not stand it any longer; he jumped
out Of bed and threw himself at his
fathers feet, and as he did 80 the crowns
rolled out on the floor. !
what is that?r asked the old man,
trembling all over. Have you stolen2"
And without drawing breath young
Stenne told how he had gone to the

al he talked his heart grew lighter; it
was a relief to accuse himself. Father
Stenne listened and his brow kept grow
ing darker; when it was all told he laid
his face in his hands and wept-
Father, father" the child began.
The old man thrust him aside without
q word and picked up the money. us it
all here?" he asked.
Young Stenne nodded. The old fellow
then took down his gun and cartridge
box and put the money into his pocket.
VERY WELL" he said, Il am going to
give it back to them" And without an
other word, without turning round
again, he went down and marched away
into the night with the militia men who
were just starting! He new was seen
again.-Translated from the French of
