ANEcDoTE OF SPEAKER BLAIER's COLLEGE
DAfs.-An olo college mate gives some anus
lLg snu interesting "reminiscences OF Speaker
blaine. lie says that at school Blaine gave
htt!e Indication OF the future man that he be-
came Blame, as Is cutie well known, was ed
ucated az Little Washington Pa, the once IA
nous educational rival Of CsnOnsburg, Pa. and
where 50 many prominent men in the country
have been educated. Blaine At school was re-
msrkable for two things-his aptitude for math-
emaucs and his huge nOee, 80 large WAS his
ncse that his college nickname WIS " NOsy''
blalne, be was excessively quick at mathes
mstics, and in this study stood first in his class
outside or this his seeming powers we're not
more thsn ordinary. AS a debater he was a a.
mentable failure. He stsmmered in search Of
language, and in argument he was verv barren.
Now, Blaine is considered one OF the quickest
thinkers ana most ready speakers in American
politics, aDa, a. de5ster, be is nearly the only
man IN the House OF Representatives who would
be a match for Ben. Butler in case Of political
sparring. Blaine possesses power of inyectivs
and an assurance in pushing home thrusts that
are very TemaT kable.

The PRESIDENT AND THE THIRD TRRY-
The intimate friends of the Presiden. say that
he made no allusion whatever to them concern
ing the question of a third term, nor is il known
that any one has mentioned the subject to him
in conversation; and farther, he has in no waN
expressed himself in such manner as to incline
them to believe that he has aspirations IN that
direction. They further remark that, although
much has been said and written upon the sub
