No Balm for His Soreness in Washington
ness In Vermont.
What has become of that noble
phalanx of Republican Senators who
met in solemn conclave and bound;
themselves by the most earnest assev-
erations to follow the mandates of the
sexagenarian Green Mountain boy;
never, never to confirm the successor
of any poor, prosecuted Republican
turned out in the cold by the unfeeling
Democratic President? Where is that
wonderful Senatorial vetmgericht, be-.
fore whom the unconfrmed officehold-
ers were to tremble, and the Admins
tration to shake in it's collective and
individual bootsp All gone away, as
Hans Breitman would say, in the evig-
keit. When the doors of the Sem
ate were locked and Mr.. Edmunds
called upon every Republican to
do his duty, and sit down on
South Carolina internal revenue col
lector, not less than two-thirds of his
forces not only went over to the enemy,
but intimated in effect that his judg-
ment was as unreliable as the walls OF
some of the Rutland marble quarries.
Other instances of mutiny against the
self-constituted leader from Vermont
have been recorded in the secret ses-
slons, and that too confident objector
finds all his painfully constructed plans
of obstruction go the way of his King
Charles speech and end in derision and
inextinguishable laughter. Even the
congenial companionship of that un-
seemly talker, Ingalls,, fails to relieve
poor Mr.. Edmunds from crushing
sense of loneliness.
The visions of a boom increasing in
dimensions by the unquestioning acqui-
escence in his leadership in the Senate
until il should attain its full growth, in
1888, are fast fading away. The SEN.
ators kicked in their traces, not once,
but several times, and the fragments of
the boom are now strewn over the floor
of the Senate. And, worse than all, in
another year Mr.. Edmunds will have
to cast his eyes Vermontward to ascer-
tain whether he is wanted for another
term. He knows that a powerful OPP
position is building up in the Green
Mountain State against him, and that
his hopes of overcoming it lie in show
ing his power in the United States Sem
ate Thus far he has only proved his
weakness. His pettish, childish con-
duct has done much towards obliterat-
ing the good opinion Of him held by
his brother Republicans, and he now
sadly exclaims: "My high-blown pride
at length broke under me-" Poor Ed
munds! He never got over the shock
of that terrible message which was sent
from the White House. He ventured
beyond his depth, ''like little wanton
boys that swim on bladders." There
is no balm for him in Washington, and
nothing but gall in Vermont.-Albany

EXPOSING coNKLlNG.

An Amusing and Embarrassing Scene In
Which New York's Ex-senator Fig
ures.
The threat OF some of the Senators to
investigate newspaper men and their
methods of obtaining the secrets of ex-
ecutive sessions revive many stories in
regard to. former attempts at this
thing, and one especially is interesting,
as it relates to Mr.. Conkling and
marks the starting point of the cool
ness between himself and the press
here. A Senator who was in talka-
tive mood gave me an interesting ac-
count of the proceedings IN the Senate
at the time-1874. The Senate had
just completed their work on the
Washington treaty and the great points
of settlement between Great Britain
and this country had been decided, but
were not ready for publication. The
day after the session several papers
published the entire proceedings of the
executive session. An investigation
followed and two correspondents were
arrested and locked up in the capital
because they would not testify. Dur
ing one of the sessions Roscoe Conk-
ling drew up some resolutions
in regard to the investigation
and Senator Carpenter, of Wis
consin, offered them. Next day
they were published. Conkling was
in a towering rage, and took occasion
to get up in the Senate and deny hav-
ing written the resolutions. The Sen
ate galleries and floor were crowded.
The whole thing worked like play.
Mr.. Conkling was most dramatic, as
well as emphatic, in his denial of au-
thorship Of the resolutions, and de-
clared that the papers tried to place
him in wrong light. Having had his
say, Mr.. Conkling walked into the
cloak-room. He had hardly gone
therein before Senator Henry Wilson,
afterward Vice-President, entered the
chamber by the main door. He
walked to his seat, and, before he had
time to find out what was going on, he
arose and addressed the chair in refer
ence to these resolutions, drawn by
the Senator from New York CMr.
Conkling) and offered by the Senator
from Wisconsin (Mr. Carpenter) in
the last executive session. He got no
further, for some one arose IN hurry
and choked the Senator off by saying
he was giving away executive secrets.
The galleries looked aghast. MIR.
Conklng came from the oloak-room
looking 1ike sheet, so white and pale.
He was caught. The press gallery
fairly shook with suppressed laughter
at his discontinue. He made an ex-
PLANTATION, but it was lame one. This
killed the investigation. The men
were discharged, and Conkling lost
ground with the press for the side he
took against them that he has never
regained-at least in Washington

Something New in Railway Cars.

The Photographic Times, of New
York, contains an interesting illustrated
article about one of the most unique
Photographic galleries in existence.
The gallery is car built after the FASH
ion Of Pullman coach. 1t can be at
tached to any express train and in it the
photographer travels all over the coun-
try, principally on the Northern Pacific
railroad, OF which he is official photog-
rapher. M. F. Jay Haynes had the car
built for him at cost of $13, 600, while
the fittings cost $4,000 more. The land
scapes he takes for the railroad are done
by Scovill camera, making picture
2Ox24 inches. The car contains an OPP
Grating room, reception room, storage
rooms, dark rooms and all other appur-
tenances of first-class gallery. West

SEA RoMANcEs,
Actual Catastrophes Which Prove THAI
Truth is Stranger Than Fiction.

Actual Catastrophes Which Prove That
Truth is Stranger Than Fiction.
Although the rakish pirate schooner
has, with her picturesque and truculent
company, sailed into the sea of oblivion;
and the gallant frigate has given place
to the steam cruiser; and the floating cas-
tle-llne of batt1eship is succeeded by the
unsightly ironclad, there is good deal
ofromance left about sea-faring life yet.
There are mutinies and strange disap-
pearances of vessels which suggest foul
play, and odd crafts that are noted by
many vessels, and yet spoken by none;
there are floating wrecks which cruise
from one side of the ocean to the other;
forging suddenly out of the haze and
darkness of midnight to startle some
nodding lookout, or perhaps to send
down into the depths a laden craft
whose fate will forever remain mys-
terry. Crews rise against brutal cap
tains, murder them, loot the ships, carry
them into some little-known port and
dispense, hiding in their bosoms the Sc
cret of an ocean mystery. Some dread
full tragedies are witnessed by spectators
doomed to watch and powerless to save.
In the midst of tempest one vessel sees
another 20 down, and can do nothing
to rescue the men, who appeal to them
from the deck of the sinking ship. Even
more heart-rending are some of the
tragedies reported.
Not long ago q British steamer out
ward bound from an American port en-
countered waterlogged French brigan-
tine. All the Frenchmen were rescued
save the Captain and the first mate and
| thu little son of the former. Captain
and mate were crazy with drink and
would not jump for the life-boat nor al
low the boy to be taken on board, and,
after exhaustlng every effort, the steam
er was compelled to resume her course,
leaving the hulk to float about the ocean
with two madmen wildly dancing
on the deck; the child had disappeared.
One of the rescued Frenchmen said the
maniac father had pushed the child into
the cabin and locked the door to pre-
vent his rescue. This story of the sea is
more striking that oil was used to lay
the boiling waves so that the life-boat
might make her way to the wreck.
The wreck of the schooner Beta on
Plum Island was catastrophe abound
ing with terrible and pathetic episodes.
The little party of survivors clustering
round their scanty fire, shivering in
their hastily-assumed garments, had
seen two children torn from their par
ents' arms by the furious sea and liter
ally drowned before their eyes. The
mothers were saved, but what mus!
have been their thoughts as they looked
at the hungry waves and strained theil
J eyes to see in them that which they boti
dreaded and hoped to find. Such catas
, trophies occur daily. When we reat
Marryatt's or Cooper's stories OF sucl
: moving incidents we feel that tn
} the authors have availed themselves Q

GOOD TIMES SOUTH.
A Section Where Capital and Labor Seem
to Be at Peace.

A Section Where Capital and Labor Seem
to Be at Peace.
1t is gratifying to observe that there
is one section of the country in which
industrial growth does not seem to be
paralyzed by strikes, lock-outs and
other forms of war between the capital
that gives employment to labor and
the labor that should be glad to be en-
ployed at remunerative wages by cap
ital. For some reason the South has
been fortunately free from these ruin
Gus disputes between labor and capital
and the result is that the industrial
growth of the South is phenomenal.
The first three months in the year
1886 show that the new manufacturing
and mining enterprises in the South,
together with some important extern
sions of old concerns. will employ cap
ital to the amount of thirty-six and a
half millions of dollars. This capital
has been drawn largely from the North
and East and from Europe, although
Southern capitalists have invested very
literally. The new growth is not con-
fined to few industries, but extends
over almost the entire range of human
industry, from iron furnaces and cot
ton mills to fruit canneries and ice fac
tories. The list is largely made up of
small factories and workshops, in each
of which a small capital and few
workmen are employed, although there
are a few large concerns, one OF which
invests two millions in new iron and
steel furnaces.
In only two of the fourteen States in
which portions of this thirty-six millions
of new capital is being invested have
there been any serious troubles Of late.
They are Texas and Maryland, and it
is worth noting that in Maryland the
amount of new capital invested is more
than million dollars less than during
the same time last year, although the
aggregate capital invested in the whole
fourteen is nearly double what it was
in the first three months of 1885. The
South is to be congratulated on this
wonderful showing and it is ardently to
be hoped that the evident prosperity OF
that section may not turn out to be a
spasmodlc boom, but steady and con-
tinuous growth. Philadelphia Times.

remember once, when campaigning
with the Turkish army in the provinces
of the Trans-C Caucasus, arriving at Sug-
did, the capital of Mingrelia, the day
after the battle of the Ingour, only to
find it deserted, and provisions scarce,
and going out on foraging expedi-
ton. Thinking that, as the palace had
only just been abandoned by the
Princess Dadiani, l might find some
thing in the larder, l directed my steps
in that direction, but found Turkish
sentries at every ingress. Suddenly I
heard the scream of peacock, and my
Ceylon experience required wildly to
my mind. What a contribution to our
mess he would be, thought, if 1 could
only get hold of him! Shooting him
in the gardens of the palace was
out of the question; indeed l found
that the one he was in was inclosed
with high wall. Scrambling to the
top of it by the aid of the branches OF a
tree, / saw several members of his
family strutting about. Now, it so hap
pened / had provided myself with a
hook and line with the view of also try
ing my luck in the river, and as had a
piece of bread also in my pocket, the
notion occurred to me of fishing for one
of these majestic birds from the top Of
the garden wall. This idea I immedi-
ately put into practice, and in few
moments my efforts were rewarded,
and I was gingerly hauling up a
tender young hen, in an agony lest hel
weight and struggles should break the
line before l got her safely landed. A
night or two afterward / was dining
with Omar Pasha, and recommends
him to try one of the Princess pea

"sHowED OFF"
A Performance Which Can Be Witnessed
in Numerous Families.

IN numerous t8mlk1eSs
The hearts of many parents have been
saddened by having their children OBJ
stinately refuse to "show off, their
mental attainments in the presence of
visitors. 1t is always parental delu-
sion that this display of Johnny's or
Sally's accomplishments can not but be
a source of infinite Joy to all beholders,
whereas the victimized visitor is simply
enduring in enforced silence the torture
forced upon him. jenkins, friend of
mine, has son three years old, sup
posed by the Jenkins family to be an in
FAINT prodigy, future President, and all
that. The friends of the jenkins family
have different sentiments, which ] will
not here expose because of my regard
for Jenkins. called at jenkins house
the other evening, when the phenoMe-
non of the family was fairly overtlowing
with smartness. He came into the
room with a whoop and yell combined
with hop-step-and-jump movement
that plunged him headlong into my lap.
where he lay burrowing his head into
my stomach and screaming frantically.
"There, there" said Mrs jenkins,
'you didn't hurt yourself much, l guess.
Stop crying and speak your new piece
for the gentleman"
Il won't!''
"Why, Johnnie, is that the way to
talk to mammal"
"Ya-a-as!''
'No, it isn't. If you'll speak your
piece I'll give you some candy"

''No, dear; speak your piece first"

''The gentleman wants to hear you. y
The gentleman didn't want any
thing of the kind, but he said he did,
and Johnnie finally condescended to
stand up in corner, give his head a
jerk, and begin:
"Terwinkle, terwinkle little star,
How l wonder what you are,
Up above this"
Here Johnnie suddenly breaks off and
goes racing and tearing around the
room, upsetting chairs, snatchlng at
table-cloths and shouting like young
Indian

isn't half of your piece"
'It's all Tn going to say and the
mad race is resumed.

The infant jenkins is now standing
on his head in corner. kicking out his
heels and laughing. This interesting
pastime is soon abandoned for the more
celebrating one of prancing around
the room on his hands and feet and imi'
tating the ''woof, woof' of bear.

"Ain't!' briefly retorts Johnnie.
"You are," says jenkins, Sr.
81 a-a-a-in't!" sirieks Johnnie.
"You, John Henry Jenkins"
Ire is in the fathers face and voice
but Johnnie doesn't care for ire or an,
thing else.
The result is sort of a pitched bat
tie, in which the combined forces of P;
and Ma jenkins are sufficient to dras
Johnnie out by the heels. His mother
returns, red and mortified.
"Children never will show off whei
you want them to-" she says, sadly.
1t seems to me that Johnnie ha
"showed off" to perfection. -Detroi

THE YELLOW DOG.

1never had kennel,
Inever owned a name,
Yet everywhere l wander
I'm not unknown to fame
The year round / 20 tramping
Ger highway, field and bog,
And no one cares about me
For Pm yellow dog.
No nice bell ever tinkied
About my shaggy neck,
Nor have any blanket
My scanty sides to deck.
II anything is missing
When by the farms Jog
A fowl or leg of mutton
Oh, its the yellow dog!
Oft in parlor windows
See pugs and pOOdleS trim;
They perk their silky ears up,
And snarl out: sLook at him.
For sticks and stones target,
As If were frog.
Oh, life Is very stirring
If you're yellow dog.
30 up and down I'm tramping.
But one thing is my gain:
As I'm considered worthless,
Inever wear chain.
Some kindly hand will feed me
While carelessly jog;
I'm not so black as painted,
Though I'm yellow dog.
