THE Nashville Banner relates
with great m~inuteness of detail the
particulars of a Kentucky scandal
in which ex-Speaker Blaine, of
Maine, figured twenty-six years
ago. At that time he and General
Bushrod R. johnson, latterly of
Tennessee and the Confederate
army, were professors in the Georgej
town Military Institute. Connected
with this college was a fashionable
female institute. Among the lady
teachers were two sisters. Blaine
paid great attention to the elder
and accomplished her ruin. A few
months afteward the female instl-
tute was removed to Millersburg,
thirty miles distant. When the
condition of Blaine's victim became
apparent and the author of her
ruin was made known her
brothers and two other friends
waited on him and argued with
shot-gunS hat he should marry her.
Blaine had been advised of their
coming and enlisted the services Of
Bushrod Johnson and some other
friends, who engaged in the contro-
versy. At its conclusion both sides
had empty firearms; nobody was
killed, but Professor Blaine was
seen going down the turnpike like
a wild mule. He was oyertaken,
and falling upon his knees he i'm
plored for his life and promised
everything. On promising to mar
ry the girl he had ruined his life
was spared, and they saw to it that
he made good his word. The I'M
happy wife coon sickened and died.
and Blaine has his second wife.
No wonder he hates Southern peo.
pie.

A correspondent Of the London News

gard to a red snow storm" 1.-THE
snow storm Of Sunday, about 2 pm, was
distinguished here by the appearance Of
the very remarkable phenomenon known
as red snow AS l believe such an
occurrence is very rare in this country,
! am rather anxious to know what vas
the range Of it-and whether the appear
ance in other parts corresponded with
those which / observed. Immediately
on the ground becoming fairly covered
with snow, there appeared at intervals
on the garden paths reddish patches of
somewhat circular form; on some Of the
flower beds, and in a sheltered part Of
the grass plot, the redness was more gen.
eral and less distinguished BY any par
ticular shape, though nowhere quite
continuous. On being taken up in a
spoon the red snow had a very dis.
tinctly red tinge, much resembling
strawberry ice, and on melting has left a
red deposit, which, with a very low-pow-
cred microscope, has the appearance Of
vegetable cells"
