\ LHE-LIKE PnoToGRAPu.-AIr Maynard
has barely yigor enough left TO rule COM
mittee of one. and certainly not sufficient
personal magnetism to influence the whole of
his own brain at the same time. What he
lacks 50 thoroughly. James Il. Blaine pos
sesses in supcrabundance. The speaker
sneak in the future rs well as past tense-is
the most magnificent demagogue of the day.
Physically he Is superb mentally he has the
daring and dash of giant vitality; socially
he is what every one sums up a good lei
low: morally lie is James q. Blame. In
that personality Is summed up his ethical
code. Ills ambition is as large as hls phy-
siaue and his patriotism and capacity are
measured by his ambition. Mr.. Blame Is
the most promising specimen OF the genus
politician living. lie has magnetism and
courage enough not only to control the tur-
bulent House, but, when he chooses, to DEFY
it, lie is an autocrat by nature, shrewd
and yielding manager from necessity He
exemplitcs that, only when by STOPPING he
conquers. Such q man would never have
been driyens from Athens, like Aristides,
for being Just. Such thing would be n
joke, aud this the speaker fully understands.
He would waste no force in a search for the
impractical-sueh as applying morality to
politics, or being consistent to 4 theory or
policy. So, with his big brain and body
well in hand. his bOnhomie and calculation,
his vigorous personality, and his reckless
courage, Blaine Is now, and will continue to
be, a masterful figure in American politics.

AMERICAN SoCuV.-Thcre l. really
growingt to he something watch may be strict
ly called society in America. We are dis
covering that society does not mean collec-
tion Of rich people. whose possessions permit
to them any sort Of extravagance; bat that it
means all sorts of people: those who have
much money and those who have little,
those who are clever and those who are dull
those whose mansions hold hundreds and
those whose parlors are crowded with fifty
And the last Is the most important discovery.
The left out feeling that many persons of

Affecting SCENE IN CouRr.-The Bridge
port Comm S'qadard relates the follow
ing -
Two brothers named Adams, of West
r1rt. have been on unlriendly terms for n
number Of years, and a short time ago they
came to blows. Each of them complained to
a Justice and each of them was found guilty
of a breach Of the peace. Both appealed.
Their cases came before the supreme court
last week and one of them was found guilty,
and in the case of the other the jury could
not agree. Friday morning. Judge Foster
called both of them before him and talked to
them in a most serious manner, and after
short review Of the affair, told them that 1t
was shameful for them to conduct in such
manner toward each other. Even strangers
live in peace and why not You. You have
not even the excuse OF youth and hot blood,
but have arrived at an age when the passions
should he under control. lie then appealed
70 them in a Slightly sarcastic manner: You
have always used yourbrothcr well p es
and he has always abused You ?'-'l leS.
lie then turned to the other with the same
questions. and received similar answers
Then. -aid he. you arc both to blame.
There Is fault on both sides, and don I
know which is the worse lie then showed

admoui-hcd them if they had any grievance
in the future about property to either settle
it anon. themselves, or TO call in their
ncighbare to help them. but do not 90 to

he appealed to them both to be friends here
after and turning to one of them he put the
question s3lemnly as in marriage service ::
'lou-Adams, do promise on your part that
You viii DE friendly in the future with your
brother. The res ponse came ringing out,
i will. Then to the other the Judge put
the same question, 'you-Adams, do prom

Judge, and as they did 50 there was not a

The other signifed the same, Then said
the Judge, addressing the one who had been
found guilty, I impose upon you the light

discharge your bond During the closing
scenes Of this remarkable address Of the
Judge, the States attorney and the mem
bers of the bar were affected to tears.
