PAVINQ WORK STOPPED.

I'pon a Sea of .Mod.
The rain has deluged the Important

necessary and this makes the condi

the weather is more favorable.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
Colonel Clark R. Westcott, of London.
England, who has been spending a
couple of months in Chicago and the
west, in the interest of a syndicate
which owns considerable mining prop
erty in this country, is responsible for
the following account of a singular nat
ural phenomenon. His story is as fol
lows: "One hot day a couple of weeks since
I was riding along a mountain Toad in
Colorado on my way to a mine in which

slung across my back, and It was but
the work of a moment to unsling the
gun and fire at he blrd.whlch appeared
to b directly above me. The shot was
a clear miss, and not caring to waste
any more cartridges, I was about to
ride on, when I was startled to hear
what I took to be the dull Vhung' of a
stone thrown by an unseen hand, which
fell into a little gully partly filled with
leaves, within twenty feet of me.
I looked carefully about me In all
directions, but could see no sign of a
human being, and then dismounted,
and, scraping back the leaves, was as
tonished to find a piece of ice as large
as a goose egg, and about the same
shape. Upon close examination, I was
further astonished to discover my rltte
ball firmly Imbedded in its renter. I
have speculated a great deal over this
phenomenon since that time, and the
only solution I can see is that the bull
In passing through the cloud gathered
the moisture and held it by its whirling
motion, so that it was frozen at a high
er altitude and fell to the earth as I
have described."
ERO A.VD HIS FIDDLE.
An Unsuccessful Effort to Gloss Over
a Ureal Historical Crime.
From the Washington Post.
One of the later phases of modern
civilization is a generous effort to vin
dicate the so-called "monsters of in
iquity" of ancient times. More than
one accomplished lawyer has volun
teered a defense of Judas Iscariot.
They contend that he was not hanker
ing after the thirty pieces of silver,
that he had no treasonable intent to
ward the Master, but in the most loyal
and loving spirit aimed to furnish Him
an opportunity to display his divine
power by confounding his enemies.
The plea is ingenious and creditable to
the legal acumen as well as to the hu
manity of its authors; but it has not
yet made great progress toward set
ting a convention that has had almost
nineteen centuries of growth and solid
ification. We are apprehensive that the noble
effort of Lane la ni, the distinguished
antiquarian authority on ancient Rome,
to whitewash Nero, will be even less
successful than the attempts of the
legal profession to transform Judas
from traitor to saint. Litnciunl, taking
up the charge that Nero burned Rome
and fiddled while the (lames of the
great conllagarution were raging, docs
not deny either the burning or the
fiddling, but admits, and essays to Jus
tify both. It was not amusement that
Nero sought If this authority is to be
credited but the welfare of his poor
subjects. The lire was mainly conlined
to tho wretched quarters where the
Roman populace abode in squalor. The
"sky-scrapers" of New York and Chi
cago are less tall than the long rows
of tenements on narrow und crooked
streets, some of them only twelve feet
wide, where Rome's poor abode.
Lanclanl shows that those wretched
tenements were crammed from cellar
to attic with human beings, and that
the buildings would frequently topple
over. Inmates and all. Nero, wo are
assured, desired to change all this. He
planned and managed the burning
with such consumute skill that. In a
contlagaratlon greater than Cnleago's,
not a life wns lost. When the lire hnd
done Its work Nero laid down his fiddle
aid the bow long enough to order "the
architects to erect no hasty and irre
gular building, but to open public
squares insteud of the filthy quartets,
and to limit the height to double the
width of the street."
With every inclination to do jus
tice to the memory of Nero, whose de
votion to music we have always ad
mired, we are not yet quite ready to be
lieve, in its entirety, this carefully con
structed plea in his behalf. Had the life
of the famous tiddler been blameless in
other respects, had his record come
down through aces unsullied by other
crimes, we might acquit him of evil In
tent in the lire episode. But the man
who caused boys to be poisoned, who
had his mother assassinated In order to
please his mistress, who caused his wife
to be put to death, who furiously per
secuted the Christians such a mons
ter was merely filling out his record in
a natural way In burning the habita
tions of the populace, und fiddling while
the flames rolled on. The generous
people of these progressive days will
regret their inability to accept Nero,
but his case Is too hud to admit of any
hope of u reversal of the old verdict.

Recollections of
hosco? Conkling.
The eighth anniversary of the death
of Roscois Kunming in tides mine iv
iieviiuiot on a career wiiich, in tue
buy rush of events in tne interval,
Ka become almost lorgottrii. 1 recall
how, in 15 is, when Ueiiry M. Hoyt was
running tor governor ot Pennsylva
nia on a hard money platform, benutor
Cameron induced ltoscoe Conkling,
tut'ii the tun-most member of tue
l lined States senate, to come to Phil
adelphia to make a plea on nuance lor
the republican ticket. Conkling's ap
pvaruuie at tne Academy oi Alusic un
that occasion was greetea by one of the
finest audiences ever assembled here
to listen to a political speecu. lie liud
seldom been in Philadelphia since he
had become a great ligure in national
polities, nor was he ever here after
that event. He was then forty-eight
years old, and in the fulness of ills
mental and physical powers. From all
over the country he had drawn atten
tion to himself as the ablest politician
that New York state hud produced
since he death ot William H. Seward.
There have been many Impressive and
majestic tiBurea on the stage of the
Acadmy ot Music. But It is doubtful
whether any. even with all the acces
sories of costume and scenery, ever
captivated an audience as he uid dur
ing: the two hours in which he deliv
ered a speech of rare force, with an
eloquence manly, luminous und grace
ful. It Is not often thut an actor caus
es the English languages to fail on
the ear witti such music as Conkling's
diction, set off with a voice like tne
tones of an organ, and delivered with
the mien of a man master among men.
!l il II ,
As he left the stage to go througn
the green-room to the street, he wound
a rich silk handkerchief around his
neck and carelessly placed a soft hat
of th KosKUlh pattern on his head.
With the blonde peaked beurd. in
which the silver was mingled with the
Bold .the eft'e-t was not unlike that of
one of the old Spanish grandees In the
court of Charles V. The broad shoul
ders, the erect currlage, the ample fore
head and tin keen eyes which lixed
themselves on un object with a light
like the shining steel, all made up a
royal presence. New England in the
olden duys called Webster the "god
like Dan," ana It Is not to be wondered
that some of the New Yorkers who ad
mire the choice mental gilts and the
public chastity of this man became
accustomed to speak of him with a cer
tain awe.
'! !l ii
The udmiration which he then excit
ed was contlned to a comparatively
small circle of men In New York. When
he was at the height of his power he
did not carry on his political transac
tions with the small grade of poUtl
ciniis. He was In the habit of Hnpart
l,nr Vila inn ililence and giving his In-
! Kt ruction to a few bright men like Ar
; thur nnd Cornell. The idea of mixing
' with the crowd wasalways abhorrent to
' his tastesand inclinations. Forthls roa
I sou the muss of the people looked on
Conkling as a vain and poiiipous hum
Mi rat. with the pride of a Corlolanus.
His proud, imperious temper was
sometimes the chl-f obstacle to
his ambition. When he addressed tne
I'nited States senate, he made Its in
ferior members feel as if they were
scho.d l.ovs. Wh.n he condescended to
go into a' political convention, he made
the delegates feci that they were drilled
soldiers. No one who witnessed the
proceedings of the Chicago convention
of 1SS0 v?U ever forget the loyal sub
jection In which, by the sheer force of
genius for civic command he held the
Mii together for six days nnd caused
them to feel irotid of their devotion.
That achievement Is without a parallel
in our modern political history. lie
walked out of that convention day uf
ter tluv. cool, serene, Intrepid, nuignltl
cent in his beuring. When he Jumped
up on n reporter's tabic on a Saturday
night to place Grant in nomination, af
ter Jtlalne had been buugliugly nomi
nated by Joy. of Michigan, the Blaine
men. with nil their bitter feeling on
that occasion, sighed In vain for such a
tender. There was not the slightest
sign of premeditation about that fa
mous speech. $t was delivered to the
sliotitiiiM, howling, crazy mob of llo.Wn
poile with the culm force of a man
sublimely confident of his cause. It
was one of those rare examples of the
pivr of oratory muter the most In
spiring and yet. at the same time, try
ing, conditions that an orator count
have, iiuil n convention since that time
has witnessed an thing like it, with
the single exception of I'otirke Cock
run's superb eloquence In the Chicago
con ventlun of 'ttJ ut 2 o'clock in the
morning.

ever had the slightest effect on him
during that stormy convention week.
His stubborn devotion to the Grant
cause was proof against every tempta
tion. It is that kind or unninchiug in
tegrity which made all his many
small faults of temper forgiven
by his admirers. Nor would he
permit any of his friends and followers
to matte terms with the other aide.
When Arthur was finally nominated
as a concession to him. he treated this
olive branch with contempt, and, in the
convention, advised Arthur to have
nothing to do with the vice-presidency.
It was then understood that Arthur
was to go into the United States Senate
In the following win tar as Conkling's
colleague, and Conkling wished every
body who was his ally In the conven
tion to come out of It with clean hands,
and without even a suspicion of having
dallied with the Garfield intrigue. A
little more than a year later Arthur
was In the white houe. and refused to
satisfy the wishes of his patron, be
cause he lacked the temerity to brave
the public opinion which then regarded
Conkling as something like an arch
conspirator, an assassin, a Machlavelii,
an instigator of Uulteau. a second Aron
Burr, and so forth. Arthur was not
an ingrate he was simply a coward in
that test of his friendship. He lucked
the courage to do what Conkling had
done for him when he was hounded as
collector of the port of New York like
a common scullion.
!! '! Ii
But after all. the most remarkable
feature of Conkling's career Is that not
even the suspicion of an accusation was
ever directed against his Integrity and
that no enemy ever sought to attack
him on that point. His enemies in
New York long before he retired from
public which by any Ingenuity could
be perverted into a suspicion against
him. When Grant offered him the
chief justiceship after the death of
Chase, he Is said to have observed that
Conkling was a man whom no money
could buy. When he left the senate
there Is no doubt that he was a poor
man. It Is especially to his credit that
he was never in the habit of telling
people that he had a fine sense of honor
on this point. He never preached cant,
and the trace of a hypocrite cannot be
detected In his moral composition. Con
kling should he remembered ns the
leader of a great party, who sat In con
gress for eighteen years and came out
of n great era of Jobbery and rapacity
with his hands as clean as a child's. It
Is such things as these thut gave him a
right to have his small fallings con
doned and to hold at a distance the
fellows who think that the proof of a
great man Is when he allows them to
slnp him on the back.
