Touching Blaine.
HIS TACT1Cs-HIs MORAL AND POLITE
- CAL CHARACTERIZE LIFE
LIKE PORTRAIT.

In the Washington letter of March 2
of the Cincinnati Daily Enquirer, we
find such an elegant portrait of the
bully in Congress, who, thanks to L.
Q. c. Lamar, we may call the late MI.
Blame, with such pertinent and graph
ic remarks about the dilapilatel moral
condition of our national politics. that
if we had Tie space we would treat our
readers to the whole document. This
failing, however, we submit the fol-
lowing general idea and extracts to
their perusal:
The writer begins by stating that
Mr.. Blaine is the ne pins ultra of the
average American statesman of these
later years-w!yq Because Mr.. Jas.
G.. Blaine proceeds invariably by the
very simple method of considering "tbe
country at large as ad--n foolyn Ibis
surmisel, his tactics are to try To- fool
everybody. This is his forte. If some
thing is black, he will try to convince
the country that it is white. If this
will not 60 down he will fall back upon
a pie. bald gray color, and if the con-
munity continues to be ohdurate, he
will settle upon a shade of deep brown.
In fast, lie will admit of any shade but
the true one. "He began by fooline
the Catholic Church out of promising
l'student for the priesthood. Their be
fooled the couptry into the delusion
that lie was a statesman, and that his
all-potato political policy playing
was philosoplic craftsmanship. By.
and-by Blaine may fool the Republican
party into nominating him for the
Presidency"
He is from Maine, where ideas are
narrow and prejadices great, and "ha;
compressed the Republican party int
the iron-houud liurits of be ,n,o3l4lr hsQrl

the beginning of thai process as not now

America is year by year depending
less upon foreign countries for the goods
whica her people consume. Her pro-
teetiYe policy has been costly beyona all
calculation, but it has made her a great
manufacturing nation, soon to be Inde-
pendent OF foreign supplies; and not
merely that-WiJh producing power

removed, America enters the arena as u
competitor OF England in all the foreign
markets Of which England has hitherto
enjoyed a virtual monopoly. America
has already ceased to take our iron.
She will gradually cease to take our
cottons, our carpets, our wooden cloths,
our silks; and in few years more we
marts OF our foreign commerce the irons,
the cottons, the woolens, the silks OF our
enterprising klnsmen.
Let not English manufacturers delude
themselves by suplne trust in the ira

Deluded by False Hopes.

He was seedy-iooking individual,
and as he stood upon the corner gazing
wistfully at the disappearing form OF a
newsboy who had just picked up a good.
sized stump ana was making off with the
prize, there was vague aspect OF de-
spair in his attitude which was very
touching. Perhaps 1t was this which at
tracted the attention OF a mild-looking
party who was passing by, and perhaps
it was something else; but however this
may be, the milu-looking party stopped,
and gazing at the solitary figure, ad-
dressed it thus:
"Old man, wouldn't you like to have a
drink this morningW
you've read me as accurately as
though my thoughts were printed on an
open page" replied the solitary. taking
his quid from his mouth and passing a
diIapidated coat-sleeye over his lips.
81 thought so," murmured the mild
looking party, while tear trickled
down his cheek; "but conquer the de-
sire. Fight it as you would legion of
demons, Tor drink has ruined many a
man who had more expensive fore
head than you've got"
And the mild-looking party continued
on his way, and solitary gazed dreamily
into space and communed with himself.

A Pennsylvania Boy Monster
from the Great Bend Reporter.1

Last week Thursday a lad about
twelve years of age, named Francis Van
Barrigar, whose parents live in Wind
sor, n. Y, lured two little boys into a
barn and said he was going to kill them.
He stripped the cloths from the
youngest child, and beat the little fellow "
with IA heavy strap and buckle until he
tainted from loss of blood, which
streamed from his head, shoulders, back,
and legs. But this was not enough,
and while his victim was still uncOn-
scious he attached the strap to his neck
in good hangman's style, and proceeded
TO hang him to ladder. He placed the
strap over one OF the rounds Of the lad
der, and just as he was in the act of sus-
pending his victim in the air, MI. Nc
Creary's son, who had made his escape,
came upon the scene with several other
boys, and seizing the young Nero,
dragged him to Justice De Bois's office,
from whence he was sent to jail. He
shot a baby in Campville but few
weeks since, and the Coroner's jury pro-
nounced it 'accidental."
