Blaine will retire from the position of
secretary OF state at the close of this
month. He has no intention at present
of going abroad. He will remain dur
ing the winter in Washin gton, and de-
vote himself 10 preparing for the next
national convention. His elegant house
in the neighborhood of Castle Stewart,
is nearly completed. 1t faces the south
and stands in the center of large open
space, looking on the one side, toward
the P street circle, and on the other to-
ward the heights of Georgetown and the
Potomac. The site of the house is a
beautiful one, in the extreme north
west part of the most fashionable
portion of the city. The building,
when completed, will have cost Its owner
$50. 900. The material is a handsome
dark-red brick, trimmed with fanciful
stone carvings. The style is massive
and in the best taste. twenty-five thous-
and dollars, probably, will be spent In

incomplete, but sufficient to base an es-
innate of the general result. The Re

in several Democratic counties, includ-
ing the senator's in Hartford, where Al

The next senate stands, according to the
present estimate, sixteen Democrats and
ten Republicans. In the last senate
there were seven Republicans and nine
teen Democrats.
Based on the same estimates the house
stands fifty-nine, Democrats and thirty
two Republicans The Republicans also

UGLINEss OF SIN.-Perhaps you have
seen one all marked and SCARED by dis

of us. Of some sins you can see the
ugly traces. Temper wrinkles the face
and makes it unlovely. Drunkenness
leaves foul and unmistakable marks.
But we have very dim eyes, and are apt

EVENING SACRIFICE.

On a day when it was late,
Safe an old man by gate.
Saying to himself the while,
AS he watched the hurrying throng:
20, that could walk a mile!
o, that were swift and strongi"
Then the old man fingered late,
Watching waiting at the gate.
And he read the radiant face
OF a passing maid, whose grace
Stirred his blood; and saw the sign
OF the love that lit her eye,
Crimson in that face, divine,
As her bosom breathed a sigh;
And remembered days Of old,
Ola love now dead and cold.
On, the drifting throng 1T went,
Passing by the old man, bent.
Till he caught the ardent tone
Ofa youthful voice, of one
Who, almost to man hood grown,
Chased the moments on the run,
Reckoning Love to follow fast
On the way that Fortune passed.
Then the noisy charlots came.
Bearing braZen Power and Fame,
And their votaries, pressing on,
Grasped the sceptred phantoms. old,
Who but mocked their grasp. in scorn
Saying to the pigmies. bold:
"Only to the swift and strong
Race and battle can belong
Lone and still the old man safe
Till the shadows came. and, late,
Fell asleep. and in dream
HalfinterFreted the throng,
Read the meaning of the theme,
Dreampt that he was swift and strong;
Out Of Memory plucked his life.
Felt again its tireless strife.
Love with burning pulses beat,
Flushed him with its fevered heat;
Fortune glittered in his eyes
Gilded vision of a day.
Luring, with its treacherous prize,
Him along its devious way;
And he dreamt an envied fate,
Sleeping lonely at the gate.
And he chased the chariots far.
Bearing Power and Fame, and, ah
Cold Ambition filled his breast,
Spurred him with its iron will,
Piqued him with its baffied quest.
Vainly led him on, until,
Disenchanted OF its dross,
He was beggared, wrecked in loss.
Thus he, dreaming at the gate,
Touched the sensuous truth of fate;
But his spirit caught the word.

with no appetite, and she could not seem to
rally from its effects. HOODS SARsAPARIL-
LA was recommended by a neighbor After
she had been taking it a few days we noticed
a change for the better-she began to eat
with relish. 1t seemed to take out the
poison the disease had left in her blood, the
change being very noticeable in her face.
She took it two months and fully regained
