BLAINE.
The Programme of the Man from
Maine.
TChicavO Times: ]

Washington, Oct 14-As there is much
curiosity in regard to Mr.. Balnc's po-
litical programmed it may DO we'll to cx
plain exactly what course lie proposes to
take in the immediate future. 1t was
stated in these dispatches, some time ago,
that Mr.. Blaine had announced to one
or two personal friends that he had no
idea of being presidential candidate III
1880. because he saw clearly that tho
Democrats were destined to sweep the
country in that election. He believed
that they would elect President VINO
would srccumb to the Southern demands
and tins cause il tremendous reaction i'll
favor of the Republican party in tho
North and West Ho looks forward,
therefore. for restoration of tho Re.
publican party to power in 1854, and
intends, if possible, to be the Republican
candidate at that time. The Intentions
Of Mr., Blaine are confirmed 10y his friends
since his return here, and furnish the
key to his political course. In the I'm:
mediate future, it is stated that he Willy
as far as possible, ignore the present al.
niuistratjon. lie will not seek any
; ouarrrls with President Hayes, neither
, Will he attempt to ally himself in any
way with the administration: Ito be:
lievcs it destined to be a failure in all
+ partisan respects lie intends to devote
himself more than he has ever donc be'
6 fore, to legislation affecting the interests
u of the North and East, and especially
= New England and, in pursuance OF tn's
) plan, he is expected to be tho spec,,a
representative, in the Senate, OF tho
claimants for the remainder of the Ala
It bama award, which is a very imFortan
measure for interests in Maine, Massa
chuSctts and New York city: tie vii
m also be the champion Of other importau
IL measures affecting that section, wh'c
IS he thinks will tend to strengthen HIM I;

Sitting around.
In the bar-rooms and groceries calmly
they sit,
And serrnely chew borrowed tobacco
and spit,
While the stories they tell and the jokes
they crack
Show their hearts have grown hard and
undoubtedly black.
While sitting around.

spin,
Unless it be yarns while enjoying their

They arc people of leisure, yet often, tbs

was expected. 1t was reported tins
evening that he had returned to Phil.

Jury made IL special prcsentmcnt to
the count, setting forth that certain
persons who were subpo'nacl In duo
form of law, namely, John F. Hart

Adiutant General Latta, Gen. X. Nj.

A good beginning. Tt is d trite max

Of errors goes on from year to year and
from generation to generation. Our
school system lacks organization as q

dlVldual schools are wanting in the
same direction. "A faulty organization
leads inevitably 10 faulty management.
faulty discipline, and erroneous meth
dds of teaching. These defects in turn
show themselves in the habits and
character Of the pupils. Carelessness,
lnattention, Indifference, idleness, and
misdirection OF the mental and moral
forces are among the depiorable results
OF bad teaching and mislQanaged
