National Temperance Fair.

Mrs Nittenmyer, President Of the Womans Ma
tional Christian Temperance Union, has issued
circular, stating that this Union will hold Ma
tional Temperance Fair in Philadelphia, opening
june 18th, the day after the International conyen-
ton in Horticultural Hall The fair will continue
weeks and will be conducted ON the srictest
religious principles. Railing, chances, grab-bags,
and everything else that is Objectionable will

guished workers Of the unions at home and from
foreign lands The fair will be under the man

Many Of the states need money, and this will en-

in their several states TO contribute aud their
profits will be in proportion TO their zeal, and the
liheraliy of their people. II public calls are made
in the towns and villages of each state, a large
amount of goods can be gathered in very short
time. There are in almost every family fancy
articles that have been bought at fairs or have
been made during leisure hours, which have
never been used, that our women would gladly
lay on this temperance altar, to help on the dear
cause. The supplies Of all kinds gathered up BIS
each state must be sent on TO the Woman's Tenn
perance Union, 1890 Arch street, Philadelphia

Mr.. Blalne's Wealth.

The story about Mr.. Blaine and the Union
Pacific railroad, as first published, alleged
that he had received sixty-four thousand
dollars for seventy-fve Thousand dollars in
worthless bonds Of the Little Rock and Fort
Smith railroad. Mr.. +. III. Rollins, treas
urer of the Union Pacific company was
named as authority for the statement, but
promptly disavowed it, saying he was sure
that no money had ever been paid by the
company in any way or 10 any person" in
which Mr.. Blaine was interested in any
manner whatever. Then it was said that
the payment had been made ostensibly to
Morton, Bliss & Co., but for Mr.. Blaine's
benefit; but they Immediately declared that
nothing had been paid by them I'm any
form or at any time, TO any person or to any
corporation in which he was known, be-
lieved or supposed to have any interest
Then Colonel Tom Scott, president OF the
Union Pacific company, was said to have re-
ceived the bonds from Mr.. Blaine, adyanc-
ing the money which financially came out
of the company's treasury; and now Colonel
Scott says the bonds "were not purchased
or received from Mr.. Blaine or indirectly"
and not one dollar Of the avails went TO him.
"or to any person for him, or for his bene-
fit in any form" No denial could be more
explicit, and all that remains is for Mr.
Harrison to explain the insinuations for
which he has allowed himself to become re-
sponsible, and for Mr.. Scott or Mr.. Rollins
to say who did get sixty-four thousand dol
lars cash in 1871 for seventy-five thousand
dollars in Little Rock and Fort Smith bonds
1t is well known among Mr.. Blaine's ac-
quaintances, that he is a man of large wealth.
aud this fact has puzzled many of his best
friends The Portland Adreriiser, pro
nounced anti-Baine Republican paper, gives
the following version of the matter which is
undoubtedly correct
"Mr Blaine in 1861 bought some mining prop
erty in Pennsylvania, which was sold under the
hammer, and which he happened to know was
very valuable lie paid about twenty three thou
sand dollars for this property which is now worth
half a million and has for number of years paid
him an annual income Of eighteen thousand dol
lars. This transaction is well known in Maine
There are gentlemen here who were invited 10
join in the purchase, but declined, and have since
regretted their decision. II is known where and
how he obtained the money 10 make purchase,
which was then beyond his own means, and ii Is

cumstances that eight or ten years aiterwarl Mr..

OuR GLoRIoUs CouNTRY.-Alaska equals
in extent seventy-four states as large as
Massachusetts. There is as much of our
country west of the Rocky Mountains as
east of the Mississippi river. A belt four
hundred miles wide from Lake Superior to
the Pacific equals in territory England,
Scotland, Ireland, France, Spain, Portugal,
Prussia, Austria, Denmark, Norway and
Sweden. Our whole domain equals four
hundred and thirty-states the size of Massa-
chusetts, and seven hundred and thrty-two
of the size of Connecticut. The states of
Illinois and Iowa equal the area of Prussia.
Texas exceeds France aud nine states of the
size Of Massachusetts, il is as large as
thrty-five states like Massachusetts, or two
hundred and ten like Rhode Island. Min
nesota is eighteen times the size Of Con-

CoSGRKss.-ln the Second district il is
suggested that Hon. George Howe, Of Brat
tleboro, will be a candidate for the seat now
held by Mr.. Denison. Mr.. Howe is very
fayorably known throughout the district.
Ia the Third district II now looks as If Mr.
ilendee would have no Republican com
petitor-but the Newport Express takes
strong ground in favor of disregarding party
lines, for once, and brings out the name of
John l.. Edwards, Of Newport for several
years the democratic candidate for Governor.
This extreme proposition doubtless grows
out Of Mr. Camps well known personal hos
tility TO Gov Hendee.

during these two weeks, and enjoyed, as / then
thought and still think, the very great privilege
Of free and unrestRined personal Intercourse with

and esteem, and strong personal affection for
Mr.. Greeley and, on his part, running through
his whole life, many inspiring words Of counsel
and cheer, and numerous acts Of personal atten

canvass four years ago, heard him coarsely and

A VOLUNTARY witness appeared before
the committee ON expenditures Of the inte-
rior department recently, with horrible
tale about his persecution by the President,
who had first incarcerated him in the gov
eminent asylum for the insane, aud then
sent him to Europe. More than that, he re
lated that the President has pursued him in
an extraordinary manner, entering his house
unbidden at unseemly hours, and even invad-
ing his private apartments. At this point
a Republican member became suspicious,
and by two or three questions developed the
fact that the witness was lunatic.
