It is estimated that in 200 working dys, running single turns, they . will make 800,000 tons of barb wire, while the consumption ranges from 130, 000 to 130,000 tons a year. It seems, remarks the New York Sun, that the State prisons of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois ami New York undersold each other in what is known as hollow ware, namely, pots, pans and kettles, which are made in the prisons, and at last they eaw thht they were cutting out profits so : tbat the work was no longet self-support ing.

GREAT MAN DEAD. Baaeae Caaklla ! New Tark Faaae Fraas Earth HarraaaSed kr Kclailvea- Mr. Conkling died at the Hoffman House in New York. - At the bedside of the dying man were Mrs. Conkling, Judge Cox, Dr. Anderson, Mrs. Oakham, (Mr. Conkling's daughter), and ft profes sional nurse. Mr. Conkling passed away without moving a limb. Ho looked aa though peacefully sleeping. There wero number of persons outside on the street. waiting to catch the last report. Within doors tbere were between forty and fifty persons, all waiting to bear tbo worst. Tber were composed chiefly of represen tatives ot the press and friends of the dead senator. The Conkling family is a talented one. The deceased statesman7 father, Alfred Conkling, wss an eminent lawyer, member of Congress in 1821-23, Judge of the United States district court for the Northern district of New York from 1823 to 1852. and minister to Mex ko for a short term. One son, Frederick A. Conkling, won high honors in the army, ana served one term in congress, and ft daughtr. Margaret (Mrs. Steel), has some renown aa an authoress; but are to some extent obscured by the fame of their brother Rosa. He w ss born October 30, 1829, at Albany, received an academic education and studied law in his father's oflice; then entered the office of Francis Kernan, afterward his col league in Congress, and in 1850 was elected district attorney for Oncdia county.. In the spring of 183S he was elected mayor of Utica, and the next November was elected to Congress. Re elected in 18C0, he was defeated in 1802 by his late law colleague, Francis Ker nan, but in 1864 and 1860 was again successful. Before tukincr his seat the last time he was chosen United Sutee senator, took his seat in the upper house in 1867 and held the plsce continuously till 1881. His first prominence in the house of representatives was gleamed by his vigorous opposition to the legal ten der act, and bis unsparing criticism of lien. HcCIellan's management oi tne army. He forced an inquiry into the causes tor tne disaster at uaii Bluff, and his speech on the resolution calling for information from the war de partment was read wi n an intense inter est by the people. II ii speech on the le gal tender act, in connection with that ot Owen Lovejoy, exnaiutea tne sunjeci on the negative tide. On both those subiocts he was consistent to the end of his career; he wnt an ardent "hard money man," and an uncompromising opponent of Gen. McClcllan and all his supporters.' In deed, he was determined in all his posi tions, ardent In friendship, relentless in opposition His devotion to the military support of Gen. Grant and the political measures of President Grant never weak ened for day ; he was the untiring advo cate, one might say the creator, of the "third term rgoyemertB of 1880, and broke with Freid"nt Garfield in 1881 on ft point of political rights directly grow, inir out of the matter. In the combat be fought with relentless fury, and when defeated he went down witn colors Dy ing. His opponents often complained that he wat ciuclly sarcastic; but that he had many attractive personal qualities is conclusively proved by life long devo tion of his friends and supporters. In the law he acqu'red wealth rapidly. His income for'several years is Mid to be at least $100,000 year. In Congress he saved but little, lie lived well, gave money freely for campaign nurposea and was above suspicion of unf. ir dealing. It is a fact well worth noting, and ft really sublime tribute, that, though he had many enemies in both partite neither democrat nor republican ever charged Itotcoe Conkling with corruption.
