Several Cases of Extreme Regret
New York Sun.1

Mr.. Blaine has written letter to his
friend Dick Harri gton, of safe burglary
fame, now Chairman of the Republican
State Committee Of Delaware. Mr..
Blaine expresses "extreme regret that
he cannot go to Delaware to keep an en-
gagement to help Harrington, who was
candidate not only for the penitentiary,
but also for the United States Senate.
Harrington is now one of Blaine's sup
porters for President in 1884.
Mr.. Blaine uses phrase that has be-
come historic. When Grant was in the
White House and Harrington was on
trial for the safe burglary felony, the
President openly expressed his extreme
regret that this promising youth, who
had conspired to railroad an innocent
man to prison, should be subjected to the
annoyance of an indictment and arraign-
ment.
When Belknap resigned from the War
Department, after having been caught
selling post-traderships and trafficking in
arms, Grant wrote to him expressing ex-
extreme regret at the occurrence.
When Columbus Delano was driven
out of the Department of the Interior for
jobbery, Grant gave him certificate OF
character, and expressed extreme re-
gret at losing so beloved Secretary.
When Landaulet Williams went into
disgraceful exile, Gen. Grant, who had
just tried to make him Chief Justice OF
the Supreme Court. did not attempt to
conceal his extreme regret that 30 fine
fellow should be persecoted.
When Chorpenning Creswell, aban-
doned the Post.O Office Department. after
the exposure of the straw-bid Jobbery.
Grant consoled him with expressions OF
extreme regret, and provided him with
profitable employment as counsel to the
Commission of Alabama Claims.
When Babcock was indicted for COM
plicity in the Whiskey Ring frauds, Grant
experienced extreme regret that such a
charge should be made against his private
secretary. And he saved his private sec
retary from conviction by betraying the
Governments case to the defense.
When Mcdonald, the chief of the
Whiskey Ring, the first man whom Bab-
cock visited in Jail after his own techni-
cal acquittal, was indicted for conspira-
cy, Grant expressed extreme regret that
the friend who had shared his confidence
and who had presented him with the
most dashing team OF horses in Wash.
ington, should be charged with crime of
any kind.
When Garfield, Colfax, Ames, Henry
Wilson, Kelley, Dawes. Patterson, Sco-
l field, Bingham, Allison, and James F.
Wilson were charged with Credit Mobi-
+ her corruption, and were saved from ex-
pulsion and censure by Blaine's manage
ment as Speaker, the Republican press
expressed extreme regret that these pat.
riots.should be pursued and illuminated.
When Blaine, on his knees, implored
Mulligan to save his wife and children
from disgrace and himself from ruin by
suppressing his correspondence, and sub
seouently stole the letters, the Republic
can press likewise expressed extreme re-
gret that Mr.. Blaine's character should
1 be assailed in Congress.
The Republican leaders have had much
cause for extreme regret in the course of
their rule for the last twenty years.

Which was Refused Him by Probate
Judge MeekisOn.
From the Bee.]

NAPOLEON, O., Nov. 6.
The arrest of the old wretch Meeks, in
Cincinnati, and the fact that his unfortu-
nate young wife is from this county,
caused your correspondent to make in
uuiries as to the marriage, etc. Meeting
Probate Judge Meakison, to the interroga-
tory as to what, if any, facts he could
give regarding the case, he replied SUBJ
stantially as follows:
About the Goth of May, 1889, old Meeks
came into my office and asked for a
license to marry Mr.. Dull's daughter. ]
asked him her age. and he said about 16.
| demured about giving him the license,
and he went out and shortly afterwards
came back with the girls father, who was
Enot only willing to have the couple marry,
| but anxious that I should grant the Ii
license. This positively refused to do. in
Easmuch as did not consider it an eligible
match, and SO told the father and Meeks.
furthermore, the law would not permit
kthe issue OF license to marry girl under
BIS. which I learned was her age. The
Emen went away and afterwards came
Eback with the girl and her mother, and
1.-THE old lady and girl both solicited the
&license. then turned to the old lady and
gave her a sound lecture on bartering her
own flesh and blood, yes, even compelling
Ssher daughter to marry man old enough
to be her father. That the girl was too
veung to know her own mind and to as.
Slime the duties of married life even with
man her own equal, was beyond all

the family with blighted life. 'Tia

A SMILE OF SATIsFAcT1oN.-This
from the Cleveland (Ohio) Penny Press,
carries its own suggestion: Recently
meeting Mr.. H. G.. Keffer, treasurer
Of the CleUeland Herald, our repre-
sentative inquired Of that gentleman,
after stating his mission, if he person.
ally knew anything about the Great
German Remedy, st. Jacobs Oil. A
smile played across Mr.. Keffer's ex-
pressive face and his eyes twinkled
merrily as he replied in the affirmative,
| will not refuse to state my experience
with it, and you may use it as you think
best. Four years ago 1 sprained one of
my ankles, an accident which, as you
are aware, entails much suffering and
sometimes leaves the limb in a con
dition to remind one frequently of the
old hurt. Unfortunately this result
ensued. Whenever the weather be-
came damp or my system absorbed the
slightest cold my ankles panied me.
This went on at intervals for over three
years, and l could not obtain relief.
Last winter | applied the st. Jacobs
Oil and it completely cured me. L
have not since felt a return of the pain.

THE MULE.

The mule is a vertebrate. He has
four legs, the rear ones being steam
boiler explosions in disguise. He has
also pair Of lungs larger than an emf
grants valise, and he can execute the
most fatal love taps Of any animate
creature in all creation and part Of New
Jersey. The idea of nitro-glycerine
was taken from the kick of the mule.
More profanity has been expressed upon
him than would, if judiciously distrib-
uted, stock up all the theological semi
naries in the land. The mule is ex-
tremely musical, and like all grand
musical instruments is composed mostly
of stops and as stoppist he is sue
cess. In this respect he is like the day
laborer. Neither can go as fast as an
express train or false rumor, but they
can stop 1877 degrees quicker by actual
count. l remember once being in the
country. 1t was in the season when
the small boy was being tied up into a
hard knot by the first peaches of the
season, which consisted of piece of
buckskin wrapped around piece of
cobblestone. The flowers were in bloom
and the country swain was coming
home from picnics with huckleberry
pie war map upon the seat of his pants.
1t was at this time, then, that re-
solved, while enjoying all the comfort
and soul satisfying beauties of pastoral
life, to see the mule upon his native
heath. found him quietly doing as
though at his own fireside, surrounded
by his immediate friends and relatives.
His mind was filled with peace and his
hide with splinters-from numerous
clubs that had been used to fondle him.
He was running over with virtuous
serenity. wanted to hear him war
BILE. So, after l had used up spade on |
him, he suddenly sucked into his lungs |
all the air in the three adjoining
counties, and then issued specimen
number of his brays that was enough to
lift a mortgage from a 1900 acre farm
or give a mummy the rinderpest. l
have heard Nilsson sing for 81, 200 a
night the opera of era Diayolo" by
a Choctaw brass band and Rory
O'More' on a bass drum by toothless
private, but this was the most astound-
ing musical matinee l ever had a free
pass to in all my life. Every note was
fired forth in a solid chunk, and the
sound enough to make mans spirit
go down like the price of linen pants i'll
January. stayed until that mule had
brayed down rail fence and retired
frame shed from active business, and
then 1 left, a sadder but deafer man.
