CONKLING TO VISIT TDK BOUIB,
It is reported that Conkling purposes
visiting the South sometime next fall
to make the acquaintance of the South
ern nponlfl. He is now reduced to the
necessity of openly fighting the Repub
lican party or of taking a subordinate
position in it under Blaine, his bitter
foe. He is not the man to take a sub
ordinate position, for he has just ego
tism enough in him to believe that he
was born to rule, and force of will
enough to compel a great many people
to practically acknowledge it Besides
this he is a man of big brain, indomita
ble purpose, unlimited brass, unques
tioned courage, unsurpassed energy
and perseverance, a good hater and a
better friend than politicians usually
are. Perhaps this is one of the reasons
nf his following, and will account for
how he holds his followers in hand
when he enters a contest That he has
great talents and wonderful, influence
over other men no one will deny.
They who know him best do not be
lieve that he. will sit quietly down and
bear the humiliation that Blaine has
put UDon him at Albany. But what
will he do? The New York Herald,
which was to some extent his mouth-
niece during the earlv stages of the
conflict with the administration, and
the battle at Albany, intimated pretty
broadly that in the event of defeat he
would devote himself to the organiza
tion of a new party or anti-monopoly
party, thus dividing, crippling and
destroying the Republican party, and
Jim Blaine with it We believe his
highest ambition will be If he is to be
ignored bv the Dartv which he has been
so instrumental in building up and
- m
maintaining in power, Sampson-like.to
Dull down the pillars and let it fall in
runs though he perish with it
This may be partly his object in visit
ing the South, to see what the chances
are of securing co-operation in his
scheme. He will find but little encour
agement in this section, for our people
will take little stock in new parties
and still less in him. The Southern
people have no reason to admire him,
for among all their bitter misrepresen
ted and haters he was the most un
relenting. From his senatorial seat he
never lost an opportunity to fling in
sults into our face and spit out
slander against us. He hesitated at no
falsehood to injure us and never had
the manhood to recall a statement
when its falsity was proved. The
South knows all this and can never ac
cept any overtures from as mendacious
and unrelenting a foe as Boscoe Conk
ling. Let him come South. It will do
him good, perhaps, to learn something
about us by personal observation, but
as a political mission it will be a signal
failure.
THE AREA OF TEXAS.
The Rev. Dr. Burrows, of Louisville,
Ky., recently made a visit to the "Lone
Star" State, and gives the following as
his idea of the area of that State : "The
first impression one gains in traveling
through Texas is one of bigness. Fig
ures give but an indefinite idea of its
immense extent The six New England
States, New York, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and Vir
ginia would not cover its area by 6,000
square miles. The great States of
Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky and
Tennessee might lie upon its bosom,
and yet have an unoccupied border of
20,000 square miles skirting them.
Locomotives must run a thousand
miles from its northern to reach its
southern boundary, and a thousand
miles from its eastern to its western
lines."
It is not long since the treasurer of
Stark county, Ohio, was convicted of
embezzlement and sent to the peniten
tiary for a term of twelve years. His
successor in office is now in trouble, a
deficit of $11,700 having been discover
ed in his accounts. He says that there
is an error in the figures.
Mary ville, Mo, was the scene last
Friday of the execution of Albert P.
and Charles E. Talbot, youths, for the
murder of their father, Dr. Talbot,
whom they shot. The execution was
in public and was witnessed by from
8,000 to 10,000 people. The mother and
sisters of the boys, and a young lady to
whom the oldest one was engaged to be
married visited them in the cell just
before the execution where a heart
rending scene occurred, and the ladies
had to be finally removed from the cell
in a frantic, crazed condition. They
begged piteously for the life of the boys,
but begged in vain, while the crowd
were outside impatiently waiting far
the show, eager to see two human be
ings swing into eternity.
These public executions are brutal
and demoralizing. Executions should
be in private and only witnessed by the
number of persons necessary to dis
patch those condemned with all decent
haste.

years, to-day tendered his resignation,
and Mr. James C, Hurston, at present
London agent of the association, was
appointed to succeed him. A desire to
attend to his private business was the
main cause for Mr. Simonton's sever

accepting his resignation at the meet
ing to-day, auinonzed tne executive
committee to express their apprecia
tion of his services in the following
communication :
The executive committee of the as
sociated press, to whom was entrusted
the duty or preparing an expression or
the opinion of the association in regard
to the voluntary retirement of J. W.
Simon ton, as general agent of the asso
ciation, report as follows :
"That Mr. Simonton has been the
general ascent of the association since
November 5th, 1866, and that in all
these years he has discharged the du
ties of his responsible and arduous
work with great fidelity to the several
members of the association and with
general acceptance to the public. The
office is one which requires capacity,
integrity and industry, and we have
never found our general agent wanting
in any of these qualities. Mr, Simon-
ton leaves the association with his own
free will, and not at the request or
wish of any of its members. In accep
ting his resignation our best wishes go
with him for his complete restoration
to health and for his personal happi
ness and prosperity in all the future of

Havfiw passed several sleepless nights, disturb
ed by the agonies and cries of a suffering child,
and becoming conTlnoed that Mrs. Winslow's
Soothing Sviud was last the article needed, pro
cured a supply for the child. On reaching home
ana acquainting jus wue wun wnat ne naa aone,
she refused to have It administered to the child,
as she was strongly in favor of Homoeopathy.
That night the child passed in Buffering, and the
parents without sleep. Returning home the day
following, the father found the baby still worse;
and while contemplating another sleepless night,
the mother stepped from the room to attend to
some domestic duties, and left the father with the
child. Daring her absence he administered a por
tion of the Soothing Syrup to the baby, and said
nothing. That night all hands slept weU, and the
little fellow awoke in the morning bright and hap
py. The mother was delighted with the sudden
and wonderful chance, and although at first offend
ed at the deception practiced upon her, has con-
nnuea w use me byrup.ana sunenng crying babies
and restless nights hare disappeared. A single
trial of the Syrup never yet faUed to relieve the
baby, and overcome the prejudices of the mother.
