It is a sort of a jo-as-yon- » dleciwlon. ; I^TTWO women, in two different iMttahitrg houses, tried Thursday to light kitchen fires with kerosene oil . vne of them succeeded only in burning l|er*.«»lf. but the work of the other- in- pfliided her husband, her child and half «t dozen houses besides her own. The -. devotion of American women to the kerosene eim. tliat has done so much to • depopulate the country, is one of the Mysterious developments ot the /oml- ' nine nature. W M: l. UK coVKi.ffN«'s TRUK rosTtm*. A illspatch from Albany to the New York Herald says: "From his own lips there is authority for stating that Mr. Conk ling, in taking the step or re­ signing his position in the United States Senate and coming here to seek the endorsement of the Legislature, acted from no mere impulse of the moment,but from cool and deliberate reflection, sustained by the advice and counsel of many of the most promi­ nent Republicans of the party belong ing to this and other States. He did not come as lias been falsely repre­ sented, to buttonhole and influence members of the Legislature, but to answer questions and give advice to such persons a? might call upon him. II a man were to come to him and say that,convinced ot the right and jus­ tice of his (Mr. ConkUng's) case, and prompted as well by that as by warm personal attachment, he would vote for him, he (Mr. Oonkiing) would tell liim not to do so, if it would in the smallest, degree cmbarass or imperil Ills political relations. He asks no man to vote for him. and has certainly dealt with no one who does not feel fully convinced that he is giving lii support without barter or solicit* t!on, but simply irotn conviction. He can plainly see tlmt the lobby has been invoked to prevent his re-election, and that lies and misrepresentation have been employed to aid other agencies to secure ids defeat. He will preserve the attitude he lias taken from the be­ ginning-- that of being here without any intention of seeking support through the use of any personal influ­ ence, and will oalml.v await what the better sense of the Republicans decide upon doing. In regard to his object­ ing 'to the confirmation of Mr. Rob- ertaon, he holds that he had a perfect . right to do so. He voted against at least forty of Grant's nominations, and there never was a word about It Andrew Johnson never called him to account for voting against his nomina­ tion*. but it was reserved for Presi­ dent Garrteld to assert an autocratic prerogative which no previous Presi­ dent ever ventured on. It is easy for lilm to perceive the hand of Mr. Blnine In all that is being done and Is now doing in the manipulation of news­ papers all over the land, and he has little doubt that the American people tvlll speedily see the animus which pervades the whole canvass against liimand visit their rebuke at the . proper time on the authors of It."
