hfty-one seconds, at an average rate of

In was in Kentucky, says a
correspondent of the Cleveland
Leader, that Senator Blaine first
met the lady who is now his wife.
She was a Yankee school mistress,
and she taught near the school
which was presided over by Blaine.
Blaine soon became acquainted
with her and spanked her and fin
ally fell in love with her. He
went with her for some time, and
was very anxious to know some
thing about her family. She re-
fused to tell him, evaded his ques-
tions and gave him no satisfaction.
He finally became engaged to her,
and followed her to Maine, where
they were finally married. When
he reached Maine he found that
she was the daughter of the editor
of the Augusta-,Pve forgotten the
name, but it was the most prOmi-
nent Wing paper in the State at
that time. He also discovered
that her father was quite wealthy,
and that the family was one of the
oldest and most respectable in the
State, one of the girls being the
Gail Hamilton of literary fame.
The marriage was that which
brought Blaine to Maine to live
and it aided much In making him
the noted character that he is to-
day. He remembers everyone and
everything. They used to call him
at college the Omniscient Blaine.
lie was also called Nosy Blaine;

cause he knew so much.
