Blaine. in his inimitable way. punished the Job

Blaine, in his inimitable way, punished the Job
from Ohio, so that he will be more careful
next time in his attacks. The keen thrust
that the Speaker, in a delicate way, admins
tered to Job had the double effect Of singing
him terribly to the quick, and also Of leaving
him in the most contemplate light before
those present. Blaine asked him once wheth-
er he did not desire to know the details OF his
private household, and offered the enraged
Job, with the most delightful imperturbabiity,
the use of his steward as a witness. Job
stuck to his case persistently, seeking pa
through and save himself from the contempt
and derision that he saw awaiting him. lie
endeavored to cross-question Mr.: Blaine on
his relations with the Coburns, the wealthy
contractors in Maine. The replies of the
Speaker were so exasperatingly suggestive
that dob was treading on ground where on or
binary occasions he would get his nose
tweaked for his impertinence, but yet were
given with such an air of tolerance for Job
that the interrogation bit his lip. The Speak
er's last and most singing thrust awakened
prolonged laughter, and if deadly look could
have killed, Blaine must have fallen corpse
at Stevenson's feet. The Speaker mockingly
offered him some of his stock. Stevenson
responded with that air of virtue so lily as
sumed by q mean man, "I'll wait till l get
out of Congress" His reply was most un.
fortunate, as Blaine pounced upon him with
very witty repartee which has few equals.

SUPEPSER FICEABLE STEVENSONS |
MISTAKE

Some days ago Job Stevenson, of Ohio, in.
troduced resolution in the House calling for
an investigation into the affairs of the Du-
buque and Sioux City Railroad, with the evil
dent intention of entrapping Speaker Blaine
in tdisgrace. Stevenson was present this
morning at the request of the committee, who
did not wish to do his work. Stevenson was
promptly on hand and took his seat by the
side of Judge Poland.
Blaine appeared in a prompt, serene man.
ner, as he does at the opening daily scenes in
the House. He did not have that embarrassed
air that marked the appearance of the pre-
viously examined Congressman before this
committee. He asked promptly what was the
basis of the resolution that Stevenson had
brought before the House. lie wished to
know the case at once. This direct method
rather took the breath out of Stevenson at the
start. He stammered and grew uneasy under
Blaine's steady gaze. Stevenson said it was
on hearsay evidence entirely. He had heard
from Ames and Alley that Speaker Blaine was
a large owner of stock in the road, and that
its construction was similar to that of the
Union Pacific Railroad
"Mr. Ames told you, eh:" inquired Blaine.

Before or after the resolution
CATER, of course"
- GU are sure
81 am"
With a quick, imperative gesture of con-
tempt, Blaine dismissed further interrogatory
until Ames had given his testimony. Cakes
Ames swore that he had never had any talk
about the matter until after the resolution was
passed. He remembered this particularly, as
he was laughing at Stevenson for his igno-
rance in confounding the Dubuque and Sioux
City with the Iowa Falls and Sioux City Rail-
road. Blaines point was evident and so
clearly made that Stevenson had spoken false
ly about his understanding Of the subject and
seized upon the merest gossip on which to
base his resolution. Blaine's next step was
to show that the motive which actuated Job
was malice alone, and not any consideration
of doing a public service. After making
Stevenson confess that ne had said he would
catch the Speaker, Blaine arose and gave a
rapid and succinct history of the road in his
peculiar nervous style. The road was built
entirely by capitalists, of whom he was not
one, and it never issued bond until compile
ted; neither did it ever receive any direct aid
from the government. Mr. Blaine had never
owned any of its stock until Janury, 1872,
and that he paid eighty per cent. for il.
Stevensons face fell as Mr.. Blaine gave, in
his cheerful, open way the history of the road
and his connection with it. He showed that
it was a private enterprise, built by private
capital, and that if he should see fit to buy
into it, it was about as open to objection as
his buying vegetables at the market Mr..

have come to the Normal school from
one term to two years, as their means would
allow, returning to their homes to teach as
soon as prepared, and sometimes before, that
they might earn money to pay their own eX-
penses. Though most of the pupils come
from towns east of the kennebec river,
Aroostook, Cumberland and Oxford counties
have been represented in the school.
Though the course of study is designed to
give special preparation for teaching, such is
its scope and thoroughness that it affords ex-
cellent preparation for the duties devolving
upon men and women in the social and civil
affairs of our State.
Most of the pupils who have attended the
Normal school, whose influence for good up.
on the schools and homes of this section of
the State has been so marked, would not
have received more than common school

located where it was so much needed.

teach in the winter, the young women teach.
ing both summer and winter, thus bringing
the bounty of the State to the doors of the
tax payers.
The character of the school for thorough
ness of instruction and discipline and the NOR
al influence that makes good citizens as well
rs goOu teachers, Is well known anu needs no
comments. BY its fruits it is willing to be
judged.
What the school has had and now needs,
is as follows: Since the opening of the school
the town of Castine has furnished building,
furniture and apparatus free of expense to the
State. 1t has also given beautiful. lot of
more than two acres for the new building.
The State has given to the school a piano,
bell, and a few hundred text books It has
recently completed an excellent house at an
expense of about $4,000.
This house needs to be fully equipped for
the great and good work to be done in it,

the legislature in detail the wants of the

Without suitable books and apparatus 30
school can do the work which the age de-
mands, and while colleges and many acade-
mics are literally supplied with ''tools" the
Normal School cannot compete with them, il
meagrely furnished. The school is a child OF
the State, and should but make its wants
known to have them supplied. $1,000 more
will give the school good standing and
make it an honor to the State.

To The Editor Of the Journal:
This school, established by the State for
the training of teachers, was opened in Sep
TENDER 1867, since which time it has sent out
nearly five hundred teachers, most of whom
have had excellent success.
From beginning of 10 pupils the school
increased to 140 in years, showing growth
beyond the expectation of its strongest advo-
Gates. The effect of the school in raising the
standard of teachers work and wages in cas-
tern Maine has been most marked. While
it has drawn pupils from the largest cities in
the State, its main supply has been from
the country towns.

The proposition to raise the entire school
fund by a five mill tax would operate very
oppressively on the larger cities and towns,
and in our judgment is not polite measure
in the present condition of our school system.
Before so sweeping change is made in the
method Of raising school money an efficient
school system should be adopted and provis
ion made for placing the expenditure of the
money in responsible hands. We don't be-
leve in State funds being disbursed by dis
trict agents under no responsibility to town
or State. Let us first abolish the district sys-
TEN, and make the schools town institutions
before we undertake to wholly support them
by State tax. The present one mill tax is
as far as it is safe to go in this direction at
present.-Postland transcript.

The several millions of tortured and corn afflicted people in this country should read this para graph and forever after bear the name of Humphreys in recolle- tion. Humphreys is a judge at the city of Washington in the District of Columbia. Before him came 8 party plaintiff a sheemak- CT, and asked judgment against a man for whom he had made a pair of shoes. Came also the de- fendant and made answer that the said shoes did not fit. As to the issue which was joined on the averment of the defendant, the shoes were best witnesses, and they were brought into court and placed upon the feet of the defen- dant. That they would go on is a fact that would seem to have mi- litated somewhat against the theory of the defense; but the de. fendant swore that, being on, the shoes made existence insu fferable. Then it was that Humphreys ut- tered the great principle that should make his name immortal. He said, in substance. that tight shoes were torture that no free, man should be required to endure, and that when a shoemaker fails to consult the comfort of his patron, the latter is under no obligations to pay for the work. Judgment for the defendant. And yet the president hesitated as to who should be made chiefjustice!
