MIR. Conkiing's Property in Washing

Mr.. Conkling owned a valuable build
ing lot in this city, situated at the in
tersection of Rhode Island avenue and
Nj street, which he bought many years
ago at very low price. 1t is now very
valuable, being one of the most attrac-
tive lots in the city. and would sell for
ten times what he paid for it. He had
several offers from would-be purchasers,
but has always refused them, declaring
that he would not dispose of the prop
erty for any less than it had cost him in
taxes and interest on the investment
1t is thought that amount can now be
obtained and it will shortly be put in
the market.
An intimate friend tells me that the
estate will not amount TO more than
$50 900 or S70,0 900, exclusive of his resi-
dence in Utica, which is now free
from incumbrance. Although his fees
were large. and his income amount ted to
$50, 900 or 80, 900 during the last three
or four years, he has devoted the most
OF it to the payment of his debts and TO
reimbursing the family of children who
were robbed of their fortune by Arthur
Johnson, his friend.

ALEADING PSYCHOLOGIST
Advances His Theory or Catarrh and
Consumption-His Advice on the
Gnh{anV

One of the best learned physicians OF modern
times in an article on catarrh and consumption
says: 'Irhe treatment of consumption has made
great advances by the introduction of new rem
edies, and has enabled the close student and
specialist to establish indications for remedies
long in use. so that by their methodical spplica-
tion better results are attained than were for
merly gained at time when consumption and
cancer were regarded as equally incurable. and
were somewhat similarly treatoa
1.-The treatment of consumption demands q
careful avoidance to all agents calculated to
cause hyperemia of the lungs and bronchial ca
tarrh. Persons in whom tendency to con-
sumption Is suspected should be treated with
the greatest care and attention.
'Finally, whenever there is the slightest sns-
picion of predisposition TO consumption, every
catarrh. no matter how slight, should be treatsd
with the utmost care which must not be relaxed
until the catarrh is entirely well. This rule, so
obvious from our point of view. is very fire.
quently violated
MANY patients fall a victim to the deeply
rooted prejudice that neglected catarrh IsTeT
leads to consumption.

Two French ladies lately agreed
upon trial for a thousand francs to see
which could make her tongue run the
faster. The contest was to endure for
three hours. One pronounced 2O3, $50
words, reading from Eugene Sue. The
other pronounced 206,311 and won the
prize.
That is, ofcourse, owing to the liquid

Louis Globe-Democrat: A short time
since two foreign sailors were drowned
in the harbor here, and the stevedores
say that their ghosts walk, and'nothing
can induce the majority OF them to go
near the wharves at midnight. A
dozen sailors of British vessel lying at
anchor quarter of mile from shore
came ashore on liberty, and, like all
Jacl-tars, had a Jolly time, ending by
getting drunk as SO many lords. Two
of them missed the return boat, and on
going down ut midnight found out that
they were left. Being just far enough

the strong tides, they undressed and
plunged in to swim out to the ship,
leaving their clothes on the wharf.
Some negroes passing by stole the
clothes. The next day the bodies of
the two men were cast ashore mile be-
low town.
The second day after darkey came
into the police station, and handing
the captain package, told him that il
contained the clothes OF the two sailors.
The negro added that the men who had
taken them had given them to him to

THE LATE CHIEF JUSTICE.
Tributes to His Memory by Attorney
General Garland and Justice Miller.

WASHINGTON, April 0.-Attorney-Gen-
eral Garla a presented TO the Supreme
Court to-day the resolutions adopted by the
bar and officers OF the court at recent
meeting, respecting the late Chief Justice
Waite. After reading the resolutions the
Attorney y-Geueral said:
"When the resolutions state, not by COM
parson, but directly and absolutely, that
he was equal to the duties OF hls1,ffice OF
Chief Justice in all that is implied IN its
title, what more can or need be
said That he filled such place in
fact Is fame aud glory enough in the
minds Of all people who are acquainted With
our institutions and understand their
workings> Coming to this post In 1874 when
the county was still rocking in the throes
OF the terrible civil war Of four years and
more, when many vexed and disturbing
questions OF the first moment were crowd
ing here for determination he at once as
sumed his place with The ease and famil-
iarity OF a trained jurist fitted to preside.
In his first opinion GTappan agt. Merchants
National Bank, 10 Wall, we see the same
plain, direct, clear cogent, and judicial
style that first runs through his later liter
ances, and even characterzcs his very last
productions. From this volume of Wallace
to the coming Of l2O United States reports
reports inclusive, forty volumes, stands
the monuments of his industry, ability, and
impartiality in this forum, and they will
not fall TO pieces at the touch of time"
He then moved that the resolutions be
placed among tho records OF the court Mr.
Justice Miller in his response said:
"Chicf Justice Waite came TO the court
in the prime of life, with vigorous cousti-
tuition, trained in the ways of the law and
the courts by long and successful prac-
tice, and was at once recognized as a man
with faculties which fitted him for presi-
ding over this high tribunal. As to mis-
character, his work, and the impression
which he has made npon the public, we
concur in the remarks made by the At
torney-General The results of his labors
are seen in the forty volumes OF the
reports of the decision Of this court,
from 10Th Wallace to 5th United States,
inclusive In the opinions delivered by
him, contained in those volumes, will be
found the strongest evidence of his iu-
dustry and his capacity as a Judge. HIS
style was emlnently judicial, terse, vigor-
Gus and clear. No one who reads them
ever doubts what is meant or what the
Court decided. They Will stand as his
his highest claim TO the gratitude of his
country and monument to his diligence
and ability"
The resolutions OF the bar, with the re-
marks of the Attorney General were or
dercd placed upon the records OF the

TRANCE SENSATIONS.
The Feelings of Horror Experienced by n
Seemingly Dead Girl.

The sensations OF n seemingly dead
person, while confined in the coffin. are
mentioned in the following case Of
trance: "A young lady. an attendant
on the Princess -, after having been
confined to her bed for great length
of time with violent nervous disor-
der, was at last, to all appearance. de-
prived of life. Her lips were quite
pale. her face rescmbled the counte-
nance of dead person, and the body
grew cold. She was removed from
the room in which she died, was laid
in coffin, and the day of her funeral
fixed on. Tho day arrived. and. ac-
cording to the custom of the country,
funeral songs and hymns were sung
before the door. just as the people
were about to nail down the lid of the
coffin, kind of pcrspiration was OBJ.
served to appear on the surface of her
body. II grew greater every moment.
and at last n kind of couvulsive motion
was observed in the hands and feet os
the corpse. A few minutes after. dur
ing which fresh signs of returning life
appeared. she at once opened her eyes
and uttered a most pitiable shrek.
Physicians were quickly procured, and
in the course of few days she was
considerably restored and is probably
alive at this day.
The description which she gave of
her situation is extremely remarkable.
aud forms a curious aud authentic adj
diton to psychology. She said it seemed
To her that she was really dead. yet she
was perfectly conscious of all that hap
pened around her in this dreadful state.
She distinctly heard her friends speak
ing and lamenting her death at the side
Of her coffin. She felt them pull on the
dead-clothcs and lay her in them. This
feeling produced mental anxiety
which Is indescribable. She tried To
cry. but her soul was without power.
and could not act in her body. She
had the contradictory feeling as il she
were in the body and yet not in 1t, at
one and the same time. IL was equally
impossible fer her To stretch out her
arm. or to open her eyes. or 10 cry. al
though she continually endeavored TO
do so. The internal anguish Of her
mind was. however. at its utmost
height when the funeral hymns were
begun to be sang. and when the lad Of
the coffin was about 10 be nailed down.
The thought that she was to be buried
alive was the one that gave activity to
her mind. and caused It to operate on
her corporeal frame."-M T. Ledger.
