this city or in any other, was more respected
or beloved by all who knew hiin. As a law
yer his business was confined almost exclus
ively to chamber practice and was so exten
sive that he had accumulated a comfortable
fortune. He was of a genial, kindly temper
ment, a man whom ta know was to respect
and admire. At the same time he was a pub

cobweb wire, which she crosses and re-cross
es, performing such feats as Riding a Bycicle
blindfolded, walking upon stilts, running and
dancing with her feet encased in sacks, and
other danger-defying acts. Zazel has al
ready appeared in Now York, Boston and

The ecumenical or universal conference
of all churches belonging to the Metho
dist family, which is to assemble in Lon
don 011 the 7th of September next, will
be an important gathering of one of the
greatest religious sects in the world. It
is hoped that the council will result in
bringing the various branches of the
Methodist Churches into closer relations
with each other, and possibly open the
way to the reunion of many of them. By
special request of the Eastern section of
the conference, Bishop Simpson will de
liver the opening address, after which the
regular business of the council will be
taken up, and coutinuted daily, except
Sunday, until the 20tn, when the final
adjournment will taken place.
The New Yoak Commercial's Washing
ton special says that a trusted friend of
Senator Colliding says Conkling is utter
ly indifferent as to what takes place. His
resignation was made after the greatest
deliberation, when everything had been
carefully weighed. The recent action of
the State Senate in opposing
and its unverying hostility to Coukling,
were not lost sight of. There was no
expectation that this sentiment would
be changed because the Senator had put
himself in the Legislature's hands, Mr.
Coukling knew his resignation would be
followed by a favorable report on Rob
ertson's nomination and his prompt con
firmation. Still he took the step. If
anyboby believes he cherished the idea
that he would be rapturously re-elected
by a servile Legislature, he confesses he
does not understand the condition of af
fairs in New York. Mr. Conklidg has
taken 110 chances, and has left nothing to
luck. He is wearied of the misrepresen
tation and vituperation showered upon
him. Conscious that he has devoted his
best years to his party, to the exclusion
of personal interests, and being treated
with the grossest injustice of any public
man of recent times, he has simply re
solved to get out of public life, if the
people of his State wish it, and let others
look after their interests in the Senate.
Mr. Conkling feels that if, after the
years of service he has rendered his party
he does not deserve better treatment than
he has received of late, tor simply exer
cising the right accorded to other Sena
tors without a murmur, it is better for
all concerned that he step aside. This
is the Senator's true position. He has
110 expectation that his ememies in the
legislature will do anything but continue
to oppose him as in the past. If he
should be returned, it would be grateful
to bin after the treatment he has received,
but Mr. Conkling will not lift a finger to
effect this.
