NOT PLEASED WITH BAYARD.
8snator Camden Opana Democratic Fire
on Cleveland's Premier.
New Yosk, December 17.—Senator Cam
den, of West Virginia, who has been for
several days attending to railroad busi
ness, is reported' as being sarcastic
in his reference to Senator Bayard
with whom he charges with at
tempting to [play the schoolmaster both
to the Democratic party and to Cleveland.
He says that Bayard has become over
bearing and dictatorial tn bis Intercourse
with the Democratic members of the Sen
ate and the party leaders In a marked de
gree. Mr. Camden says that much resent
ment Is being aroused against Bayard on
this account. Ar Camden has close rela
tions with the coal and oil crowd, bis ani
mus can easily be understood.
That Tildeu is thoroogbly aroused is
shown in the fact that many of the old Til-
den managers held a conference here to
night at which W. C. Whitney, W. I..
Scott of Ktle, John G. l’riest and J G.
Prather of St. Louis, Senator Camden and
Smith M. Weed of Plattsbnrg—all old Til-
den managers—are reported to have been
present. Th-ir object was to take con-
concerted action to push Whitney for the
Treasury Department. John O. Priest
said to a reporter, who asked him about
this phase ot the cabinet controversy
tonight: ”1 have no doubt that
Mr. Ttldeus influence with Cleveland
will be very great. The efforts of Til-
den’s friends weeks before the Chicago
convention were exerted to keep him from

A New Cotton Plcktr.
Timcs-Democrat.
A cotton picker, wi'h which an ordinary-
band can pick from 500 to 1,000 pounds of
cotton per day—a long-needed Invention
that must prove a boon to the South,—has
been devised by Mrs. M. C. Walling, ot
Brenbam, Texas, who is now in New Or
leans procuring a patent of it. This is one
of the simplest and most ingenious pieces
of mechanism imaginable and yet appa
rently capable of doing all the work claimed
for iL It constats of a three-pronged frame
of wood, or other material, perforated at
regular distances, through which are in
serted wires Tsryiug in length from fore to
rear and securely fastened, to which is
attached a neat handle. There are about
200 needh-pointed wires in the three
prongs, from which fact its utility as a
cotton picker can be at once compre
hended.
The operator can stand erect, thus dis
pensing with the practice—alike laborious
and Injurious to health—ot stooping, and
ply the picker from any direction to reach
the boll, the fiber being readily impaled
upon the win*. Upon the lower aide
hooks are formed to secure the cotton
that has fallen from the bolls to the
ground. When the picker becomes full,
inverting it relieves it. There can hard!;

How the Roacoe'a Milk of Kindness Was

The subject was Conkling. Said he, "Ros-
coe Conkling was once one ol the pleas
antest and most sociable fellows in Con
gress. He was a great friend of the news
paper correspondents, and night after
night hs used to drop iuto our offices and
gossip and chat and tell stories. Many a
good piece of news we used to get from
him, audio those days we all liked to say
a good thing for him. He was a better
looking man in those days, and he hod
lines in his countenance which have since
disappeared. He looked like a man who
lived tree from care and who loved his
felinw men. Thete was no habitual sneer

world and us as his enemies. I remember
a ben his lace began to change. * It was at
the time of the confirmation ot the treaty at
Washington. Ramsdell and Young were
imprisoned for refusiug to tell where they
got certain information in regard to It,
and Conkling incurred the enmity of the
press by denouncing them, and by telling
a lie in open Senate when the Son.itora
and correspondents krew that it was a
lie. Of course wo defended ourselves,
and immediately the country rang with
Conkling's falsity and he was denounced
as badly at Keller, during the last Con

ARRIVAL OF THE PALLIUM.
His Father's 8on.
Washington, December 17.—Two nights
ago President Arthur's coupe drove up in
trout ot Millbum's drug store, on Penn
sylvania avenue, near Fifteenth street.
The time was beyond midnight. Allen
Arthur end a college-mate, home with him
for the holidays lrom Princeton, were In
the coupe. The two young men got out ot
the conpe and began to ring in the rood
violent fashion a’, the night bell. The
clerk, who sleeps In the drug store, got up
hastily and, half-dressed, rushed to the
door to see what was wanted. He im
agined that the call could be nothing less
than oneot ills and death. When he
opened the door he asked;
"What is wanted?”
"Nothing," replied Alien Arthur, and
then the two students roared aa if the
whole thing was a stupendous joke. The
clerk was very angry. He swore at the
night wanderers in a way that provoked
theTjokers. They proposed to thrash the
cleric for his impudence in daring to resent
their fun. Just as they were moving toat-
tack him a ppliceman came along. He re
cognized young Arthur and advised him
ta go home end cease making a disturb
ance. This friendly surostion was also
received as an intuit. Arthur demanded
the policeman's name and number. He
gave it promptly In a loud, angry voice.
Then Arthur said:
"Don't talk so load. You are impudent
I will have your head and buttons off lrom
you by to-morrow morning.”
The policeman, fearing to get Into
trouble, summoned several gentlemen
near and took their names ts witnesses for
a possible defense. With difflcnlty the
young men were persuaded to re-enter the
coupe and go away. As the carriage drove
off young Arthur put bis heed out of the
window and called out to the policeman:
"I will have your bead and buttons at 9
o'clock to-moirow morning.”
At latest accounts the officer was still in
possession of his head and buttons.

The long-expected pallium, the sacred
emblem ot the metropolitan dignity ol
Archbishop Ryan, arrired tn this city yes
terday- Th* Rev. Charles O'Keefe, of
Wapplnger's Fall*, X- Y„ who was dtalg
nated by the Fope as its bearer, sailed
from Queenstown on tha Gth upon the
steamship Arison*. Upon th* arrival of
the Tassel In New York he telegraphed the
clergy of Philadelphia and started Imme
dtately lor the city, arriving at th* archl
episcopal residence, at Eighteenth stud
Summer straets, shortly before 3 o'clock in
the afternoon.
The pallium, which is an eccletiutlcc'
emblem of the highest significance in ths
polity of the Roman Cstholic church, con
sists of a white band, about two Inches
wide, made from the purest latnbe' wool.
It is embroidered with crow
black or dark purple, and la son
upon the shoulder*, crossing In front
upon the breast. Ornaments depend lrom
the ends ot the band, and at the point
where the pallimn crosses it is secured by
golden pins. Ths pallium Is made in
Roms ot the wool shorn from two lambs
which the sisterhood ol Santa Agnera, on
the Via Komentana, offer every year on
their patronal feast, while the Agnus Del
Is sung at mass. It is first worn by the
Pop* and Is sent by him to each newly ap
pointed archdltbop. It Is usually consid
ered the distinctive badge of tha metro
politan dignity.thoogh bishops have some
times been honored with its investiture.
"As ths pallium hu been received dar
ing the period ot Advent,” raid Father El-
cock yesterday, "the ceremodie* of pre
sentation aad investiture cannot properly
take place until alter Christmas. The
present dat* (or the ceremony has not
been fixed, but It will probably occur early
In the new year.”
PRANKS OF THE CADET*.
Tit* Annapolis Boys Dissatisfied With th*
Management of th# Academy.
Axsarous, December 16,—The Naval
Academy has for a taw days been dis
tor bed by rebellious demonstrations among
the cadets, wUcb threaten to culminate In
a revolt. For some time there haa been a
strong feeling of d'seontent among th*
bays, growing oat of general dislike of Bo-
perintendent Ramsay and his policy. Last
week there were several disturbances in
Crammnr ns Related to Political Profit.
Some years ago, before the days of his
political advancement, Hon. L, P. Morton,
minister to Paris, used to he a taller in nn
Illinois town. He then had his ca'tf
printed, “L. P. Morton, Merchant Tailor.
Now, in imitation of royal flunkies end
clubs, he sends out a perfumed and deli
cately tinted piece of board bearinj
l-'gend: "M. C. Morton.” This wh
freak ol our minister to Paris huexciied
considerable comment and no small
amount of ridicule, and has recalled to
the mind of at least ooe man a mat
ter ot some interest regarding Mor
ton's appointment to the French
mission. This man, who is
well-known in literary, legal, political and
social circles iu this city, and who threat
ens to make his home hereafter in New
York, says that be has it from authority
wotthy of credence that when Garfield had
Morton's appointment under considera
tion he told a friend that Morton wanted
the m'siion to the Court of St. James in
stead ot Paris. "But,” said Garfield,
"Morton it not very accurate in the use of
the English language, and if I send him to
Pariyhtt mistakes will be less noticed than
in London.” Solo Paris Morton was sent,
while the elegant and scholarly James
Russell Lowell went to the Court of St.
James to maintain the reputation of Lind-
ley Murray in the now world.
