Origin Of a Classic.

The June-bug poem is sufficient Of a
classic already to cur a reference as
1.-THE old song" Yet it has been before
the public less than two years. This
gem has been more often mutilated,
misquoted, and stolen than any other
poem Of its length in the language.
There are at least q half-dozen negro
minstrels who claimit. Its real author.
was the ..This and That" man Of the
Louisville Courier-Joarnak The june
bug poem is seldom given correctly. In
the original and most beautiful version
it ran: s
The June-bug hath . gaudy wing,
The Hghtning-bug has fame, e
The bed-bug has no wings at all.
But he gets there Just the Same.

ed u bulletin regarding the condition OF
Hon. Roscoe Conkling, whose life during
that time hung by the merest thread,
which finally snappeda at about two O'Clock
on the 18th OF April.
REVIEW OF HIS s~
Mr.. Conkling's illness is supposed to have
been due originally to the exposure which
the ex-senator suffered during the blizzard of
Msrch IL. On that day he attempted to walk
from his Office, 2 Wall street, to the New York
club on Madison square. He found himself
unable to proceed when he was in the middle
OF Union square, and had he not been res
cued by ar officer, he would undoubtedly
have died that day. Several days after he
complained to friends in the Hoffman
house and elsewhere that he was
feeling unwell. He continued ailing until
on Friday, April 6, after he had been ex-
posed to a severe draft in Judge Horace
Russelrs office at a reference the day before
his illness came 30 q point. Dr.. Cornelius
B. Agnew. who is now himself lying at
the point of death, was called in to
attend the sick man, and, recognizing at
once the seriousness of the case, called In
consultation DR.. Fordyce Barker and DR..
Henry B. Sands. Upon examination, those
physicians concluded that an abscess had
formed between the patients brain and skull
Immediately behind the left ear and had
involved the auditory canals on that side of
the head. The necessity Of an operation
was indicated by the symptoms, n on April

method, which has already been described.
The relief of the pressure o. the brain
caused an immediate Improvement
in the patients condition. This con-
tinued for several days, during which the
ex-senator gradually developed a delirious
condition and was reduced to a state
of weakness from q lack of nourish-
ment, for he refused almost all food. To-
ward the end of last week, his condition
was t%iuctuating from day to day, but
seemed to promise ultimate recovery.
Last Saturday night, DR.. Barker noticed
with alarm, the appearance of az involun-
tary twitching Of the muscles known as

bronchitis began to show itself, n from
that time tho ex-senator has gradually
declined, although his condition improved
