Blackburn's Monkey.
An Active and Intelligent Private Secre-
tary for Congressman.
fChicago Times.l

lChicago Times.l
Blackburn has monkey that he uses as a
private secretary. This distinguished mon
key was presented TO him by Kentucky naval
officer. The monkey is very well educated
and performs his duty as private secretary
with ease, rapidity and dispatch. Blackburn
has him rugged up in suit of clothes, and the
monkey has just enough of life to know how
to Initiate the private secretary to perfection.
When the mail comes in in the morning the
monkey is very nervous until Blackburn gets
ready to work. Then the monkey sits up
right in chair by the desk opposite Blackburn
and waits nervously. When the mail Is put
down i'll front of him, and Blackburn lifts his
finger, the monkey quickly seizes and rips
open the envelope, tosses the letter to Black
burn and the envelope in the waste basket.
Ii Mr.. Blackburn takes his eye off him for
single moment he rips up the letter also and
proceeds to the next one. He has seen his
master tear up letters after taking them out of
the envelope, and he tears them up ii he is
given the slightest chance. This monkey is
extraordinarily intelligent. He is quite up to
the average page of the House of Representa-
tives i'll point of intellect. He has a coat,
vest and trousers. He is very proud of his
clothes and will not let any one put them on
for him. He puts them on himself Some
mornings he gets the trousers ON wrong side
foremost and then they bother him. One
morning he had his trousers on in this way,
but they annoyed him so that he took them off
entirely, buttoned up his coat and went around
trouserless, to the great amusement of the call
ers. Black burns pet is an unusually bright,
healthy creature. Bfack1ar dvvo1ess nssi
his leisure time to the education of his in
tellect. Mr.. Blackburn will declare him per-
feet. He has him highly trained in other ways
however The monkey knows the best brand
of whiskcy that is kept in every Kentucky
headquarters, and passes the bottle round with
great soemnity-that is to say if he is closely
watched: There is just vague suspicion in
the mind OF the visitor that the monkey may
crack him over the head with the bottle some-
time before he knows it; but the eye of Black
burn keeps him down. The monkey also has
a way of knowing what callers are unpleasant

likes, has great tendency to shorten the visits

Jim Blaine of Maine.

Washington Letter in Chicago Tribune.
There are some positive statesmen in Maine;
and assuredly that sparsely populated State
has her share of brains in the national councils
With Blaine and Hamlin in the Senate and
Frye and Reed in the House she can challenge
comparison with almost any other State. Fa-
ther Hamlin is now old and feeble, and will
probably give way at the expiration of his
term to some younger man. But he has been
strong man in his day, and still demands re-
spect. Mr.. Blaine when all has been said
against him that can be said is the most splen-
did figure in public life. His name will live
when those of most of his ccmpeers have
crumbled in forgetfulness- Roscoe Conkling is a
wonderful speaker, but he has left no impress
on his times; has no hold on the affections of
the people; has not the true courage or the
self-forgetfulness of leader of the people;
is timid, irresolute and coldly selfish in the
hour of peril; fed to Baltimore when he should
have delivered the "greatest effort Of his life;'
and made his six by-nine splurge on pack of
the custom house appointments concerning
only his paltry ambition. But Blaine of Maine
is usually on hand when he is wanted. He
has pluck. He has spirit. He can forget him.
self, as he did when he made his audacious at
tack on Massachusetts. No simply selfish man
would have done that. No little man could
have carried it through in such gallant way,
and single-handed have put the hosts of Mas
sachusetts to fight. 1t was pitiable, l am told,
to see the predicament in which Hoar and
Dawes were put in that memorable debate.
Utterly unprepared, and ignorant OF the histo-
ry of their own State and country, they were
as children in the hands of q giant And he
devoured them raw.
Blaine's magnetism and his power over the
people are unrivaled. No other man can draw
such crowds, or hold them so well, or evoke so
much enthusiasm for himself by a simple ap-
pearance. In Iowa and Ohio during the last
campaign farmers came twenty and twenty
five miles in wagons with their f,milies to hear
him speak. More than once crowds of $4,000
gathered about him and they we're all Blaine
men before they dispersed. Nothing like it
has been known before since the days of

Town and Country Mice.
Burlington Hawkeye.

My son, if you read the family paper and the
Ledger stories and the good books of the Sun
day School Library, you will read solid column
upon solid column of advice to young men
from the country warning them against the
evil allurements, the painted temptations, and
the appalling wickedness of the city. Telema-
chus, look me i'll the eye; don't you stack your
little stipend on the calm statement that the
young man from the country doesn't bring his
little modicum of rustic wickedness along with
him Just help the general effect. He may be
little innocent, grant you that; but innocence,
my boy, is not always or necessarily virtue 1t is
true that the young man fIom the country is
plucked by the three card monte man of the
city. But he wouldn't be plucked il he didn't
play monte. 1t is true that the police have to
go with him to the bunko den to get his money
back, but what was he doing IN the bunko den
that he should lose his money? 1t Is true that
beauty of the devilish type plays it ON hun
ptilessly with the panel game, but also he
should not have gone to the strange laly's
Room to help her carry her valise To the train.
tell you, Telemachus, the young man from
the country may lack the refinement of his
city cousins wickedness, but he doesn't have
TO come to the great city to be bad. He may
not smoke cigars at the quiet old home, but he
smokes "a cob pipe and "chaws terbacker ia-
stead of chewing fine cut. He is not swilling
beer nor does he love his cocktail in the morn
ing, but after he has taken two or three pulls
at three gallon jug in the harvest field that
jug is so light that You'll mean he,
has to put a brick. on it to hold it on the
ground. He will swear in the passenger car
when his city cousin will not in the street.
Mind you, my son, he is no worse than his
city cousin, but on the other hand L do not
thinS he is very much better. think lie eau
learn some wickednesS OF his city friend, and
then | think also, he can teach him Il little. L
don't think he is improved morally by his
metropolitan associations, but AT the same
time he doesn't learn all his badness of them.

PHILADELPHIA North American: Garce-
Ions conspiracy to cheat the people out of
their rights and TO thrust into power Leg
islature which had not been elected is esti-
mated to have cost the State twenty thous-
and dollars. 1t is a good deal of money to
spend in that particular way, but perhaps it
was not altogether wasted. The episode was
a revelation of Democratic unscrupulousness
from which the country will take warning.
A party which would lend itself to such dis
graceful proceedings as those which Garce-
Ion instituted, will stoop to any means to at
bear this in mind next fall.
