Mrs. blaine and .Gan Hamilton. >,

Washington Correspondence Toledo Blade.l
was told by q lady who knew Mrs.
Blaine In her girlhOod, while living at Au-
the family without means OF support, and
her mother was obliged to keep DOarders;
two OF her sisters worked in the factory, and
Mrs. Blaine taught school. So, of course,
there is every reason why she should extend
encouragement to her sisters who have to
labor as she did. II Mrs. Blaine had more
graciousness Of manner she would be called
hne.looking woman. She is large and
finely propOrtioned. Her face is broad and
square, with very few soft lines Of tender
expression, except when her husband is
speaking, and then they are all searching.
Accompanied by Gail Hamilton, Mrs.
Blaine Is always in the gallery when her
husband is TO make a speech. In fact,
when go into the gallery and find Mrs.
Blaine there, know we may expect a broad
side from Mr.. Blaine. Mrs. Blaine dresses in
rich, handsome clothing, which does wonders
for her; and say what you will, handsome,
elegant clothes have a telling effect. The
exterior Is all we can judge those we meet In
the most" Is pretty piece of poetry when
applied to infants. but fine clothes are q
mighty good substitute for beauty-in case
tom is member OF Mr.. Blaine's family. and
certainly helps powerfully in entertaining
their i've hundred and one friends. Those
ting, caustic articles would fancy the writer
to be tall, lean, lank, prim, perpendic ular
old maid, blue stockings, with false teeth
that do not fit closely; glasses perched on the
tip OF her nose, over which she is peering;
thin gray hair, gathered up In knot behind;
dress hanging like q scarecrow on q pole;
temper as sour as an unripe lemon; and, rain
or shine, never seen without an umbrella.
Well, now. my gentle reader, you are In
error; Gail Hamilton isn't anything of
the kind. She is one OF the brightest,
spiciest, and most delightfully."- enter
tanning little ladies In all Washington.
Her figure Ia short and rather dumpy, and
well enveloped in rich, tastily-chOsen, fash
1onable clothing. She has q jaunty way of
wearing her pretty hat which gives her q
saucy air. Her face is not handsome by any
means Her gray eyes are deep set, with
shaggy overhanging brows, but her light
brown hair Is ever becomingly arranged. and
she has large mouth full Of the Whitest
teeth. When In conversation every muscle
end nerve in her face play In harmony, as
the keys OF piano, and express the soul OF
music within. She Ia very sOciable, and ner
conversation entertaining, with ready wit
and repartee at her command. at one of
the Cabinet receptions last winter q most
distinguished gentleman who had been thrice
widower said to Gail Hamilton az the Hon.
George q. Cannon, Mormon delegate In Con.
gress, came in, Mr.. Cannon has three Wives.n
"Yes,' replied Gail, shut the only difference
between you and George Q Cannon is that
he drives his wives three ABREAST while you
drive yours tandem!'

laws in the land, but Mr.. Haynes doubted
whether this would reach the heart OF the
trouble, because these depredstions were
commonly committed by vsgTant ours
who gather together q strong
force on their march from home. DE
wanted an assessor to go around with 9
blank in one hand and g, revolver in The
other, and when he found n dog not owned
saooi him on the spot. He believed a Law
could be- framed and passed IN favor o
more mutton, more wool and less dogs
The legislature could not take hold of {

statute would increase the revenue from
