Gossip About EI.secretnry nlnIne.

/ WASHINGTON, May 0.-Some OF Mr.
Blaine's friends say that he has about made
up his mind TO listen to the pleadings of
certain Maine Republicans and yield his
own inclinations to their wishes. That is
the way they put it. Stripped OF political
rhetoric, it is almost officially announced
that Blaine intends to so back to the House
OF Representatives. The only question that
he has at all considered this winter in
reference TO political action has been that
OF health. He has, however, gone through
trying winter without any severe recur-
renee OF the rheumatic gout which assum-
ed such aserious form last year and he is in
clined TO think that he has this enemy in
subsection. Blaine is known to have great
ly wished that he could have been on the
floor OF the House this winter. He has
spoken Of the utter lack OF leadership there
and oil the splendid opportunity Tor it. lie
says that the Republicans have thrown
away chance after chance OF doing that
which would greatly strengthen the party,
and he has used, by all accounts, pretty
vigorous Anglo-Saxon in his comments on
the course the party has taken under its
nany-headed leadership, But great as
have been, in his view, these opportuniti, 8,
those that will open to the Republicans in
the lower House in the Forty.eighth
Congress he believes will be great
er. The session will be that which
will precede tho Presidential convention
and election Of 1854. The opportunity for
leader Of experience, Blaine foresees, will
be great. Besides he has said that he never
for one day has been out OF the House that
he did not have yearning to be back
there. Blaine believes, it is said, that there
is too much taxation, and the next cam
paign may be on that issue. With u sur
plus rolling up towards two hundred mil
lions, and at the same time the prices oil
provisions and the necessaries OF life in
creasing, Blaine thinks that the Republican
party is making great mistake in not cut
ting down taxation. The failure 10 do this
may give the next House to the Democrats

a woman nutchers One of her Children
and Wounds the Others


BosToS, May 9.-Marie KONG, Il German
woman, supposed to be halt-witted, was
the chief actor, this morning, in a terrible
tragedy At an early hour she entered the
room where her children were sleeping.
She first attacked August, whose throat she
cut from ear to ear. The woman next as.
saulted Mary, whose throat she cut in
three places, probably fatally. The girl
ran screaming out OF the apartments
into room opposite, occupied by other
persons. The screams OF the girl were
supplemented by the shrieks Of Mrs. Kon-
ig, and the widest excitement prevailed,
though none OF the neighbors dared to en-
ter the rooms. Meantime Mrs. KONG
stabbed Alfred in dozen places in the
LETT arm, and then aSsa;led Emil, who re.
sisted qnite successfully, although he
was badly cut. BY this time the police
had arrived. The officers found the
woman sitting on the floor in pool OF
blood, she having cut severe gash
in her LETT leg and made IN
attempt TO open the arteries Of both her
wrists. She appeared very composed,
and expressed herself quite satisfied with
the wholesale slaughter she had completed.
The officers took her to the station, where
her wounds were dressed and she was at.
tcrward placed IN padded cell. Wounds
OF the living children were attended to and
no serious results are apprehended. This
afternoon Mrs. Konig was arraigned on the
charge OF murder she was unable 10 stand
alone, and more haggard or wretched.
looking person never WIS seen in the dock.
The officers were unable to make her un.
derstand the crime she was accused OF. |,
was decided to haye her waive cxamna
ton, and she was committed to jail to
await the action OF the grand jury.
