LAvATER used to say that /" he only
sees we'll who sees tho whole in ths parts,
and the parts in the whole. know but
three classes of men /; those who see the
whole, those who see but a part and those
who SEQ both together" Manifestly those
who see thing, collectively and in parts
have the clearest perception of it. And it
is for this reason. perhaps, that SO many
Of the brightest Republican leaders cannot
support Blaine. Viewed either as a
whole or in parts, he is bad enough but
when these two views coalssce in one,
he becomes too tattooed for endurance.
WHEN certain American citizens were
arrested on suspicion in Ireland while
James Buchanan was the American min
lister to the court of St. james, they ap-
pealed to the latter for protection. And
whom the British secretary en- foreign
affairs gave Mr., Buchanan an unsatisfsC-
tory answer 10 his inquiry about the
prisoners, he demanded an immediate
trial or unconditional release of the sus-
poets of that day, or his own passports in
forty eight hours. That was tho reason
why the Irish were for Buchanan nearly to
a man. Aud Because Blaine failed of his
duty in similar emergency. he will
appeal for the Irish vote in vain.
IT is a merciful provision of nature tha,
| when one Of the five senses is lost, the re-
mainder becomes much more acute. Thus
the man that is deaf usually finds his
sight and memory strengthened, Particu
lar attention has been paid in recent years
to thoso afflicted with deafness. The
number Of deaf mutes in the world is
roughly calculated to be from 700, 900 tc
900, 900. and of these 83 per cent. are said
to be born deaf, the others losing their hear
ing by different accidents. The number O
deaf muteB In Great Britain Is probabl,
about 10000. To meet the educationa
wants of these there are on the face of tn,
/
inmates Of both sexes, aud employing
over go 0 teachers.
BLAINE will reap the reward this yea
OF his treachery on former occasions to th
Stalwart Republicans. Portions Of editoria
copy used in the New York Tribune ofilc
In 1880. and written by Gail Hamilton
Blaine's cousin, being bitter assaults o.
Grant, Conkling and Cameron, have re

editorial policy of the Tribune was di
rected by Blaine, and he expects thos,
whom he bitterly assailed then to worl
