Mr.. Blaine's Memory.

"a Story Told by ex-senator Thurman.)
In 1875 Blaine came to my town and made
a speech. went to hear him. While
was talking to him at the place where he
had spoken | saw in the crowd an old farm
or of wealth and consequence, a client of
mine, who is a staunch Republican. He
was regarding with much interest the
great Republican leader of whom he had
heard SO much, but never before had seen.
beckoned for him to come up, and said:
"Mr. Blaine, want to present to you
Squire Brown" Blaine was very cordial,
and, in his magnetic way, soon had my old
friend perfectly delighted. Brown was
noted breeder of horses, and that day had
driven into town behind very pretty oair
of year-olds. Blaine took look at the
horses and said: esquire, have you ever
trained that near colt? He would make
good time, If properly handled, Think
With few other words he went away with
me, and saw no more of Mr.. Brown In
1880 Blaine came to Ohio and spoke again
at my town. / was on hand. When he had
closed his speech the people came up to
speak to him. Suddenly looking up he saw
Squire Brown at dis. ance The old man
was wondering if Blaine would remember
him. Leaving the crowd about him, Blaine
went to him, and calling him by. name, shook
hands with him cordially, and after talking
few minutestaid: esquire Brown did you ever
train that near colt you were driving four
years ago when met you? 1 have often
thought of that colt, and believed he would
have made good trotter if properly trained"
Now it had been four years since that cir
cumstance occurred. Blaine had had an
immense number of things to think OF in
that time, and yet he had recalled the man
and remembered without difficulty precise
ly what had happened SO long ago. To my
mind 1t was one Of the most wonderful
feats Of memory have ever known.

popularity. This has been steadily increas-
ing, until 1t Is fast mounting up to enthu-
siasm. The prince has endless good humor
and marvellous tact, an instance of the lat
ter being his prompt consent to go off to
Eastbourn and open small asylum there,
because 1t was named after hissaeceased sis
ter Alice He is clever, too Not long ago
the Savage club invited him to attend ban
quet at their rooms; the whole thing was
slightly snobbish, and there was good deal
of satisfaction when the prince, after dinner,
suggested that so large and fine club (it
consists chiefly Of actors and musicians)
should found scholarship in the new Royal
College of Music. The affiuence of the club
was chiefly on the table, but they could not
excuse themselves to the prince, and are
now learning that dancers who indulge In a
royal piper must expect to pay him royalty.
The prince always makes faultess speeches
now The has lived long time since he spoke
of Queen Elizabeth as his ancestor), and
never puts on any airs. He has outlived
good deal OF gossip, arising from his liking
Tor pretty girls lin which there was always
more OF the merry German than the dam
gerons English ''flirtatiousness''l and his
love for the princess is shown not only in
his constant attentions to her, but In the
bloom and beaming happiness Of her face.
lie is probable that there is not happier
pair in Europe. While it is known that the
prince is not wealthy, he is known to be
generous, and has never been accused of
mean thing. He shows no inclination to
mingle in party politics, or In sectarian mat
tiers; he Is a brilliant man Of the world, able
to converse with any European in his own
language; and his visit to any foreign court
is there welcomed as signal for except
ional festivities. Even if Queen Victoria

and queen In all save the salary--and few
official duties which, as Carlyle long ago
showed, could be done quite as well by an

The author frankly and truly says
that Spain's wonderful history has new
er been well written by English authors.
But it cannot be said that Spain has latterly
been neglected by travellers, or literary peo-
pie. Mr. Days book is faithful but not a.
thrilling or picturesque record of travel
fairly good, but lacking the imaginative
quality that cannot be spared even from ev-

PHILADELPHIA North American: The
arrival of another ship-load of Mormon con-
verts, not afew of them having been aided
in crossing the ocean by their new-found
friends, suggests the question whether the
gifts and grsces of Congress had not better
be devising some plan of solving the Nor
mon problem. The importation of paupers
is bad enough, but the importation of Nor
mons is infinitely worse, and yet, so far as
has been shown by the evidence, the Nor
mons have exceeded, ten to one, the assisted
immigrants who have come to our shores.
1t has been found quite possible to dispose
of the latter class, but the former are quite
beyond the reach of our laws.

asked him if he could favor that paper with

SAMUEL J. RANDALL is not disposed to
abandon his protectionist ideas at the bid
ding of free trade howlers, in order to OBJ
tain the speakership of the next Congress.
He is reported as recently saying, SIT the
Louisiana delegation, with the enormous SUI
gar interests of the State and an important
rice-growing clientele besides, want to vote
for free trader, all right. But as they
would be voting for the absolute ruin of
two-thirds of the people south of the Red
river who are engaged in agricultural pur-
suits, cannot believe they have so little
sense. The sugar interest in Louisiana is
just beginning to prosper, as is the rice cul-
ture in Louisiana, South Carolina and Geor-
gia. What sort of delegations would you
call those from the States mentioned if they
deliberately voted for the destruction of the
important interests mentioned, as we'll as
the absolute ruin of the planters, whose en-
ergy and pluck are just beginning to be re-
warded by success? They would be insane
to do this, and l do not believe their constit-
uents will permit themselves to be ruined.

FRED ENeLEHART's monster whale,
which was exhibited throughout the country
two or three years ago, lies neglected in an
old fiat car near Chicago. 1t will be remem-
bered that the whale was supposed to have
been embalmed. The job was done up in
Northern Michigan and took long time,
and was written up as the greatest feat of
the kind ever accomplished. A great deal
OF mystery surrounded the operation, which
was conducted very secretly, to avoid, as it
was claimed, giving away the secret of the
process. The secret has. however, at last
been discovered, as the following from the
Chicago Tribune in regard to the matter
shows: sThat things are not what they
SEEM is exemplifed in the case of this
whale. The skin and tail of this monarch
of the vastly deep was all that it purported to
be, but its frame alasl was of iron and
hickory, and its flesh of sawdust and other
deceptive light weights. One can easily be
convinced by taking free look at the one
time great curiosity"

THE Chicago Times remarks that there is
no longer any doubt that the sentiment in
favor of Tilden in 1884 is crystallizng, aud
Western Democratic politicians with axes
to grind are all carrying them to New York.
Despite all the opposition of his opponents
and the emphatic denials of his friends, the
"old man of Gramercy park is struggling
with very good prospects of securing the
nomination. Under the circumstances there
is great struggle for second place for the
reason, the Times says, that all the aspi-
rants believe that Tilden if elected will die
before the expiration of his term and the
Vice President would then become the chief
executive of the nation.
