coNKLlNG SPEAKING ON THE ELECTORAL
BILL IN THE SENATE
Stories OF his cutting sarcasm are innumer-
able. Yet he was essentially an optimist,
and bis belief in mankind grew with years
Some one lately asked him If he did not
think that certain well known lawyer had
sold ont his client to the other side. mo,
Sir" said Mr. Conkling, solemnly, II have
never looked upon the face Of the lawyer
who telieve would sell out his client. It Is,
in my opinion. the rarest crime OF earth, the
very minimum instance of depravity. nthe
case we're otherwise it would, to quote an old
Judge | once admired, rob humanity Of the
last virtue that clings to degradation ITSELF"
Even his wit aud humor had charactero Of
ezactness and classical severity. In the
Mare-Garrison suit he was pitted against the
eminent Joseph Choate, and the unofficial
record Of proceedings had reached some
thousands Of pages, when Mr.. Choate inter-
rupted Mr.. Conkling In the latter's address
by saying that he CHR. Choate) had not read
the unofficial terord Mr. Conkling stopped
speaking. and turned u look of 1uild su. r. iso
in the direction Of Mr.. Choate.

Conkling MOT seen those apples Of gold In

my learned friend ever indulges in light and
sentimental recreations, let him as mid

wiser if not happier man."
During his early years in congress his
speeches were usually quite ornate, the war
era required and permitted more of that
style than does the present economic period.
Later his style was terser, as in this extract
from his reply to the toast of New York
City"
ITO speak fitly Of the toast would be to say
much shall say little. A city Of 2, 100000
PEOPLE, and more in its actual belongings, a
world troll city in whose streets eighty -four
la,,~uaGes and dialects are spoken, an island
which, had it not become great city, would
have been great watering place, sought for
blessing of climate and nature that make it,
all things considered, the most favored and
desired city in the world as a residence and
commercial mart Those hear me who shall
see here a greater population than that Of Lon
don might speak Of its triumphs of civili-

vous sentences. His face is that Of an en-
thusiast His forehead is high, his eyes are
peculiarly bright, and his features are thin,
While speaking, his eyes rove eagerly over
the congregation, and he picks out 'utui-
lively the converts he has made When he
has finished he leaps from the platform Ind
elbows his way here and there through tae
crowd until he reaches them. Harrison isno
longer boy, having been engaged in evan
gelistic work for fifteen years He
was born in Dorchester district, Bos-
ton, on Dec. 25, 1854 His con-
version was dramatic. 1t appears
chat the death Of younger brother had
brought him to regard questions of religion
in serious manner. For days he had been
beset by doubts and fears. It was the night
Of Dec. 81. His mother had gone to church,
and he was left at home alone Shortly be-
fore midnight he went into the street with
an aching heart. It was showing, and th~
night was bitterly cold. Suddenly voice,
which seemed to come from the dark sky
above, said: "Son, give me thy heart" 'Let
me go home, where it is warm" he replied,
land will give thee my heart, Lord" Then
came the answer, like The thunders of eter-
nifty, "Now or never" There was no chance
for parley. The clock was striking the
midnight hour, and the new year was about
to add another to the innumerable sands Of
time. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight, nine, ten. Two strokes more, and he
felt that he would be lost forever Throw
Ing his arms wildly toward heaven, he ex-
claimed, passionately, "Now, Lordl" and
sinking down in the snow, he received there
the blessed assurance that he was numbered
among the saved. At this time he was not
l8 years Of age. His first revival was held
when he was IS years old, at Long Plains
It was an experiment on his part, but it
proved SO successful that no resolved to
abandon his studies and consecrate the rest
Of his life to evangelistic work His fame
spread throughout the land, and the ''boy
preacher" was in demand all over the coun-
try to conduct revival meetings Thousands
upon thousands have been brought into the
Methodist fold through his efforts
On Friday, April Is, grand revival meet
ing was held in Jane Street church under his
auspices. It lasted night and day, and re-
freshments were served to all who grew
weary in well doing. When the general con-
ference convenes on May l, he proposes to
Institute one Of the grandest revivals that
the Methodist church has ever known.

One Eefinition of a Sponge.

A sponge has been termed "a companion of
the bath, but, speaking from our own ex-
perience we have ever found the sponge will
absorb thing and everything more readily
than water, and we also imagine that they do
not grow in the sea, but are raised in truckle
beds, though they require no forcing; they
are exceedingly expensive to keep in the
house; the house that keeps them is called a
greenhouse-a particularly green one.
