Blaine's power to make men, and good,
level-headed men, think as he thinks, and
see things with his eyes, has always been
remarkable, and it has been so in this case
Men who are clear-headed enough in other
matters actually believe that Mr.. Blaine
conducted himself precisely In the same
way that man who had been Secretary of
State ought to conduct himself.
II Mr.. Blaine should meet a man
as wise as Solomon, or as crafty and
diplomatic as Count Fosco - which,
by the way, he would be careful
not to do publicly and on equal terms
whatever the result Of the encounter, there
would be plenty cheering for Blaine All
the older men on the Foreign Affairs Com
mittee sat during Blaine's examination like
pupils before an imperious tutor. They
seemed to fear Blaine as peasant would
the Gear. He knew it. He made use of
mis- knowledge. Belmont, however, with
the blood of the Perry's-he is a cousin of
Parnell and resembles the Irishman in some
respects-and the stubbornness OF his father,
set out himself to learn something. He was
twitted with being coached, vet Blaine knew
perfectly well that never an investigating
committee sits that its members are not
coached and helped from outside. Blaine
shows age In some respects. He talks ia
private necessarily about himself, and with a
large Dragging air, little bit in the Col
Sellers order. Blaine has more tact than
Shipherd, but in very many respects they are
out of the same piece OF cloth. Blaine shows
this more than he did. Age is an enemy he
cannot down. 1t is coming slowly
but surely. 1t is beginning o take the
veneer from his character and intellect. He
boasts. His pecullarities grow and absorb
his grace. People who are brought in con-
tact with him see the cracks In the vanished
outer coating, and they are speaking about
it,, carefully, to one another. Five years
ago Mr.. Blaine would not have made the
mistake he did the other day. he sees It
himself now, and the fact that he has made
a mistake, rather than the consequences of
it, is something that Mr.. Blaine grieves
about.

death Of Judge S. B Jones. The particulars
OF his ssd demise are as follows:
AS was his custom he had been out walking
around his fields On the outskirts Of the city,
accompanied by his son Charlie, a little fellow
about seven years old. Seeing a small thunder
cloud gathering, he started home paused at
the bars which led from the field to the pas
ture, let down the bars for a negro employe
who was approaching on a horse, and as the
rain drops began to fall. stopped under gum
tree for shelter while waiting for the
negro to pass, and while there,
without moments warning. the
summons came and his soul was gathered
home TO the God who gave It. The bolt of
lightning seems to have struck the tree first
and shattered il badly until within fifteen feet
OF the ground. when it bounded from the tree
and struck him on the head, passed down the
right side OF the body to the right thigh and
crossing thence to the left limb, passed into the
ground. The crown Of his hat was badly mutt
lated his clothing scorched and his shoes torn
to pieces. The little boy was thrown some dis
tance from hrs father by the severity Of the
shock. and was unconscious for some time
though the physicians say he will probably re-
cover From the right shoulder down the spine
and left leg he is fearfully burned, the skin in
many places peeling of.
