Blaine's Fortunes,

MIR. Blaine has by no means recov.
cred from his illness. His improvement
after the first attack was slow but steady
until the night Of the 10Th, when he made a
short speech to party Of serenaders. Brief
~ the effort was he became greatly exhausted
and took to his bed, growing weaker from
day to day through the week. The phys
icians pronounce absolute quiet and rest for
several weeks to be necessary to avoid
serious consequences. The State Republican
convention Of Maine passed resolutions heart
lily applauding Mr.. Blaine and unanimously
recommending his appointment to the United
States Senate in the place OF Morrill,, appoint
ed Secretary of the Treasury.

SLIGHTLY INQUlSITIvE.

There are more ways than one by
which to gain coveted information.
There was time when the parish
sewing circle afforded the surest
means of obtaining contraband knowl-
edge of all affairs OF churchs and state.
to say nothing of neighborhood scan.
dals. But in these days sewing cir.
cles are, as rule, unattended by men
who engineer the ship of state and
lead in the van of politics, consequent.
ly other methods are resorted to to find
out. what neighbors are doing. One of
the Congressional investigating com.
mlttees not long since were casting
about for certain evidence when they lit
upon mass old kilograms which had
been sold to paper dealer. OF course
they were bought, for the amount
charged by the company, together
with the incidental expenses of hand.
ling and carriage. The papers on these
terms were sold to congress and be.
came as much the property of the hoese
as they had been the property of the
dealer in paper stuff. For a week and
more reliable man has been engaged
in separating from the mass such tele-
grams as are supposed to relate to the
matter under investigation. Such as
are not wanted are carefully bound
with paper and put in a place secure
against Paul Pry. All this has been
done that the public might know that
not the slightest advantage has been
taken of the possession Of this great
bulk of kilograms accumulated during
several years, relating to thousands Of
transactions. many of which have per.
haps warranted the senders of mes.
sages In fearing that their private
business would be exposed to public
gaze.
The correspondent of the Chicago
Times says: :'When the telegrams
called for by the committee are select
ed, the others will be burned in the
presence of the members, and all who
have any fear Of exposure of their
confidential matters may rest assured
that every message not bearing upon
the congressional investigation will be
consumed by fire. In addition it can
be stated that there is probably not
one of the investigating committees
that will not have a flood of light let
In upon it by the Culling operation
nearly completed. The safe-burRlarv
is not an exception, and some Of the
messages will be living witnesses, if
ever the case Is again tried.

THE FIRST CONVENTION

It has passed out of popular recol.
lection that presidential candidates
wore, formerly nominated by congress:
stonA caucuses. The first national
convention of any party was held in
Baltimore in 1882, and nominated
jackson for reelection. Baltimore
was the scene Of all the national con.
ventions from that time up to 1889,
when, on the 4th of December, the
whig party met in Harrisburg, Pa,
and nominated Harrison. This con.
vention was the earliest in point of
time ever held, its ticket being placed
in the field eleven months previous to
the date of election-eleven of the
..hottest" months this country has
ever known. Jackson was highly pleas.
eds with the convention plan, and
warmly recommended its permanent
adoption. Since 1889, the place of
meeting has been changed from term
to term. :. # T..

JUST OFT.

Gov. Hayes was one of the party of
excurSiOnists who went in October
last, with numerous other leading men
of the west and northwest, to Phila.
delphia to view the Centennial build.
ing. The progress of the train over
the railroad, from Buffalo to Philadel-
phia, was heralded to the country
round about by vigorous firing of can
non and other noisy demonstrations of
the people. Just after leaving Buffalo
the train passed through the hamlet
! where once Millard Fillmore lived.
The citizens had limbered up an old
six-pounder and loaded it to the muz.
zle. In their simplicity and with the
desire to make the thing heard to the
inmates of the train, which was speed.
ing along at the rate Of 40 miles per
hour, they had planted the cannon
within two feet of the track, on a
small bluff about as high as the car
windows, and pointed it across the
track. As the train whirled last the
gun was discharged. It made thun-
dering noise, and the simple rustics
went home, no doubt, jubilant over
the fact that they had done their duty
to their country, and to the first cen
tennial train, and ignorant of what
the effect of that shot had been. In
one Of the Pullman cars sat Gov. ..elect
Hayes, of Ohio Gov. Bagley, of Mich
igan, and a few other western digna-
taries. The car was abreast the cannon
when it was discharged, and the en-
thusiasm of the villagers of that west
ern New York town was scattered all
over the interior of the railway palace
in the shape of glass which came from
the windows. The explosion occurred
through the window by the seat on
which Hayes was sitting, and plate
glass, window sash, and other articles
were showered upon him thicker than
votes will probably he in November.
Powder from the gun singed his blonde
beard, and fragments of the French
glass found l0dgment in his clothes.
It was a narrow escape the pulling of
the trigger an instant sooner might
have saved Cincinnati a good deal of
her conventional troubles and placed
Hayes in reality in the Great Unknown
beyond the veil.

The Winslow Extradition Affair.

The President has sent to Congress a
message reciting the demands made by the
government upon the British authorities for
the extradition Of the Boston forger, Wins
low, and the refusal OF that government to
surrender the criminal for trial. He says
"While the United States desires an enlarge
ment Of the list of crimes for which extradi-
ton may be asked, and other improvements
WHICH experience has shown might be en-
bodied in = new treaty, it is for the wisdom
Of congress to determine whether the article
Of the treaty relating to extradition is to be
longer regarded as obligatory on the govern
ment Of the United States, OF as forming part
Of the supreme law Of the land. Should the
attitude Of the British government remain un-
changed, shall not without an expression of
the wish of congress that should do so, take
any action either in making or granting
acquisitions for the surrender OF fugitive
criminals under the treaty of 1S42."

DR.. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed
Tonic, and Mandrake Pills.-These medicines
have undoubtedly performed more cures OF
consumption than any other remedy known
to the American public. They are com
pounded Of vegetable Ingredients, and con
tain nothing which can be injurious to the
human constitution. Other remedies adver-
tsed as cures tor Consumption, probably
contain opium, which is somewhat danger.
Gus drug in all cases, and if taken freely by
consumptive: patients, itmust do great injury:
Tor Its tendency is to confne the morbid mat
ter in the system, which, Of course, must
make . cure impossible. Schenck's Pul.
monc Syrup is warranted not to contain q
particle OF opium: 1t is composed Of power
ful but harmless herbs, which act on the
lungs, liver, stomach, and blood, and thus
correct all morbid secretionc, and expel ali
the diseased matter from the body. These
are the only means by which Consumption
can be cured, and as Schenck's Pulmonic
syrup, Sea Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills
are the only medicines which operate in this
way, It is obvious they are the only eennine
cure tor Pulmonary Consumption. Each bot
tie OF this invaluable medicine is accom-.
panied by full directions. DR.. Schenck is
