get his Ohio campaign in shape, says the Phila-
delphia ITmes His present effort is to get the
temperance end Of the party to understand that
he isn't drinking man, while the other end is

Mr.. D. S. Place, of Waldo has been commits
stoned by the Governor as Agent of the Bureau
of Immigration. 1t is first rate appointment
as good as could have been made-as Mr..
Place has done much toward inducing immgra-
ton to the State, and for several reasons is pc
culiarly well qualified for the position. The
Agent, in all probability, will leave for the
North within the next few weeks. He will ad.
dress our citizens at the meeting to be held in this
city next Saturday for the purpose of organizing
an immigration society," Gainesville Sun Dc Bee
European immigration is setting strongly
toward the line of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road. The arrival of two ship loads at Baltimore
within twenty-four hours Is reported lin all
about 5000; and there are now no fewer than
eight immigrant trains, embracing over fifty car
loads, on the way to Chicago. 1t is estimated
that the current month will show greater num-
Der of arrivals than during any other three
months in Baltimore's history The total will
certainly exceed 10000, which would have been
formidable even for New York any other year

brandy once in while in congenial company,
and he drinks wine al dinner when he is out
Blaine never tasted brandy or whisky or any
distilled liquor in his lite. He drinks little
champagne at dinner, if he has company or is
dining out, but nothing else. Hunt, of the Navy,
is charming gentleman in society life, and will
take drink or two when he feels like it, Lin
coin, also. Some say Blaine, as well as Conk-
ling, is physically played out.

ton in selecting the three hundred names to be
