utterances, but SO great was his MEM
ory that he never used notes. Once
he made u ten.column speech in tho
Academy of Music and never varied
word from the slips previously pre-
pared.
AS IA party leader he was dictatorial
and aggressive, 80 impatient Of oppo-
sition or criticism or diverging opinion
that he had either devoted followers
or bitter enemies. He asked no quar-
ter and he gave none. His downfall
came from the inherent weakness
which always besets arbitrary power.
The power he exercised in this state
for over twelve years has never been
equalled and never will be. 1t was
only combination of the man, .he
time and the circumstances which
made it possible. He made Mr.. Cor
mel! governor and Mr.. Arthur presi-
dent.
"Nr. Conkling will long live in the
memory and history of the state rs
one Of the most striking, interesting
and picturesque figures it has known.
With great power and fearlessness,
with fighting temperament and
great intellectual abilities, he possessed
just those qualities of successful
leadership which lifted him far above
his fellows, and will leave an indellible
and favorable impression upon his
times,"-New York Herald.

A Frog Farm.

1t is understood that several Young
men of this city have organized them-
selves into company for the produc-
ton of bullfrogs. They have leased
a good-sized piece of ground, which
lays low and can be easily converted
into frog pond. This ground is lo-
Gated west of the city, is accessible and
well-fitted for the purpose to which it
is to be turned The capital required
is very small, and the profits enor-
nous,
There Is less trouble in raising frogs
than almost any other animal. Take
dozen pairs of New Jersey breeders,
for instance, dump them into the pond,
and feed them on hotel scraps A
quantity of domestic batrachian COM
pletes the outfit. Supply the pond
with three or four barrels of hotel
scraps every day. and the rest is easy.
Frogs are not dainty in their tastes
and will gobble up almost anything
that is edible. At the end of twelve
months the harvesting. can begin, and
in two years time these young fellows
estimate their profits will be anywhere
from $1,000 to $4,000 Toledo

STRANGLED!

Blinky" Morgan, who was con-
victed at the September. 1887, term of
court in this county, of the murder of
Detective Hulligan, was hanged in
the penitentiary at 1:2O o'clock Friday
morning. Whatever his emotions may
have been, he made no outward man
Hesitation of them, and met his doom
with the characteristic nerve and com.
posure exhibited during his trial and
incarceration. He protested his inno-
cence to the last, expressing the belief
that time would substantiate his dec.
laration, in letter addressed to the
Warden. In the letter he expressed
his gratitude to the warden and others
for kindnesses shown him. In closing
his somewhat lengthy letter, he said {:

necessity of making any verbal re-
marks from the scaffold, and also to
keep the reporters of the press from

what 1 desire to say You will under
stand from the foregoing. honored sir,
that shall have nothing whatever to
say save what / have written here.'
The following, which he wrote some
time ago, he left with the Warden, to
be read after his execution:
"God knows everything-past.pr pres
ent, and future. I have taken a re-
view of my life, and 1 find 1 have
done more good for humanity than
evil, and am not afraid to die at any
time. will submit my case to thet
above without argument"

MAY,

READ AT A CHAUTAURUA MEETING AT DIR. J. NJ.
WHITES. ATwATER. OHIO.
Now past the middle of May,
And what shall we say?
How tickle and dull Is the weather;
Now VIC melt from : OILS rays,
Then have cold, windy days,
Like summer aud WINE together.
Every stem in the hreezs,
Every twlg on the trees,
Most sadly is reading its doom:
Th air from the north
On Boreas rides forth.
To chill and injuie the bloom.
Like a girl that will smile
And with smooth words heguile
Some faithtp. and confident lover.
Then like the cold winds of May.
Will skip bliskly away.
And all the Irritation is over.
What more can be told
Ut moth so cold
Only the fttest of flowers will stayi
But as things now CO.
How beftting 10 know
That June is more model than May.
Under a carpet of green
The meadows are seen;
With gentle Spring showers the wheat fields
are blest,
Far away in the sky
The ravens will cry,
While the Robin and Bluebird are guarding
nest.
Most gladly and truly we do admire
When beholding their gay attire.
Or bright leaves that adOrn the trees;
We oan not see them gov,
But very well we know
When full blown. they tally with the breeze
Now every shrub and brier
ls aiming to get higher,
And have something more to show:
Near where l sometimes walk,
] sea a slender stalk,
With buds that soon will blow.
The world is full of life,
With no unfriendly strife
Each healthy plant begs room to grow:
Once in q lonely spot
saw a gaudy touch -me-not:
For whom was this flower made to bloom?
sometimes on q grassy sod,
Where human feet have seldom trod
Rank stalks and flowers have grown:
Some one perchaLce may pass that way,
If so We have no right to say
The fairest flowers may blush alone,
The earth is fair, is very fair,
Aud once a year is under repair:
Our teathered lends awhile will stay,
They cost US little. they live on seeds,
And pick the grasshopper off the weeds
And get the worm that comes with the rain
And take the ug that lays under the snow,
And snatch up the bug when a little too slow
Nearly all the repairing is done in May.

A ROYAL welcome was given by the
citizens of Canton to the first delega
ton of two hundred employees of the
Hampden Watch Works that arrived
in that city from Springfield, Mass
last Friday afternoon. Manufactures
and business houses were all closed,
business suspended, public and private
buildings decorated, and a banquet
given to the Hampden people in the
evening. Addresses of welcome were
made by Major Mckinley, Mayor
Black, and other prominent citizens.
Canton has the requisite enterprise
tosbeom by substantial welcome any
desirable addition to its industrial
growth, as is demonstrated in the case
of the Watch Works just locating in
that city, by reason of liberal dona-
tions in money and realty.

OF the tribe. and the youths and maid
ems and small children, and let us set
apart the day for feasting and merry
making. And the thing found favor
i'm the mind of Celia, the wife of Seth,
and she answered, "Yea, verify, that
will we do And they Immediately
established decree to make proclams.

in dwell any of the tribe of Plum. So
the posts passed with messages and
letters unto all the tribe in the differ.
ent towns and cities, and on the second
day of the eighth month in the year OF
our Lord 1888, there assembled in the
city of Aurora, at the home of Seth
the blacksmith, much people of the
tribe of Plum, to keep the feast o
merry ymaking, and there was much
laughter and music, and games. and
speech making. and all rejoiced with
exceeding great joy, especially tha
Emily, whose sirname is Crooks, haC
journeyed from the distant land o
Michigan, and was present ut tn,
gathering together of the tribe of Sam
uel. Then, when the shadows wer,

saying: Verify, Seth and Celia hi
wife have given us pleasant day, ant
we will meet at the home of Daniel
when twelve months have passe,

He had been cheerful and in unusual
