BLAISE's FEELINos.-The Maine
question has kept the Senator away
from his duties at Washington ever.
since the meeting of Congress. The
editor Of the Atlanta Georgia. Consti.
tuition, having heard of the troubles
in the Pine Tree State, became uneasy
as to the whereabouts of the Stalwart
Senator, and, the other day, he posted
an interviewer off for Augusta, the
State Capital of Maine, to look Blaine
up. The interviewer soon blundered
on him and his cousin Gail Hamilton,
who has been writing her cousin
James up for fifteen years past, for the
Presidency. The Atlanta agent was
personally unacquainted with both Of
them, but found them out by overhear-
ing the following conversation in a
hotel parlor, in "Augusty," as they say
down there
"Gail, have ! bribed anybody during
the last hour2" inquired Mr.. Blaine,
recovering from one of his most sym.
pathetic fits.
"No, James," Gail responded, with
a sweet civil service reform sigh
nobody at ALL"
"Then," said Mr.. Blaine, "the insin.
uation is base charge, and the charge
is q double.dyed lie. Hand me down
my trusty claim more !"
These bloody remarks frightened
the Atlanta man of, knowing that the
shot gun was potent there.

said there was no demand in that State

OF course be congratulatos his friends
on having secured possession of the
State house and an opinion from the
Supreme Court of the State which is a
reversal Of all its former decisions. To
have accomplished this without blood
