BLAINE's PARTIN A PISTOL ROW
Three GrOans Sent up for Him by
Southern Cadets in His School
teaching Days.

teaching Days.
The nomination of James G. Blaine,
saws a Texas correspondent Of the New
York Sun, adds new value to an anecdote
about him relating to time when he was
connected with the Western Military In
stitute as Professor of Languages. The
anecdote was related to me by a cadet of
that period, now a resident of this town.
The headquarters of the western military
institute at the time of my friends matri-
culation was at Blue Lick Springs, Ky.
| The large increase in the number of ca
diets necessitated change of location in
order to secure more room, consequently
the institution was removed from Blue
Lick Springs to Drennan's Springs, a
summer resort on the Kentucky river. In
the arrangements for the removal some
misunderstanding arose between the pro-
prietOrs.of Blue Lick Springs, some par
ties by the name of Holiday, and the
board of professors, at the head of which
stood Col. Thornton F. johnson, aided by
| Col BushrOd johnson, since distinguish
cd in the late war; Col. Richard Owen,
/ James G.. Blaine and several others. The
result of the misunderstanding was a
/ fight between the board of professors and
| the proprietOrs of the springs, in which
encounter Thornton F. johnson was shot
down and manned for life. Col Bushrod
Johnson stood his ground until he had
| emptied the last barrel of his old pepper
| box pistol, then retreated amid the uni
versal shout Of the boys to run"
James G. Blaine, on the contrary, at
| the beginning of the encounter, hastened
| to a stable close at hand, harnessed and
attached horse to a vehicle, and, with
the Colonel fled to Wellersburg. A few
days later Col. Bushrod johnson and J.
G. Blaine made their appearance together
at Drennan's Spring, where about $50 of
! the old cadets had assembled. AS soon
/ as the former of these two professors ap-
peared. the cadets raised a shout of ''three
! cheers for old Bushr' They made the
| place resOund with their hearty cheers.
Then then shouted, ''three groans for
Blainer' And the night was rendered
hideous by the howls, grunts, and groans
of the school boys. The derisiOn was too
much for Blaine, and he soon rendered
his resignation and left for the hills of
Maine

Blaine and His Substitute.

Washington Special New York Sun, Goth.
During the recent debate in the senate
on the Mexican war pension bill, Mr..
Morgan said:
"Take your candidate for the presiden-
cy. He was a valiant talker in the war
but he never went to the war. He re-
mained at home and accumulated his
millions of dollars. and his substitute
went to war.
Mr. Williams-No; the substitute did
not go.
Mr.. Morgan-Why did he not go?
Mr.. Willams-He got a furlough to
stay at home.
Mr. Morgan-He ought to have gone,
At least one of the membership of that
combination ought to have gone"
This war record of the republican can
didate is not historically correct in detail
according to the authority of the neigh
bors of Mr.. Blaine, who are well in
formed on that subject At a meeting
of the Bay State club, held i'll Boston on
the 8th of June, Mr.. E. F. Pillsbury of
Maine, who is not only well known, but
who knows Mr.. Blaine thoroughly, said:
''What is his war record that should
entitle him to the confidence of the peo-
| pie, although he was foremost in the pro-
ceedings that led to the war? He was
the first to be drafted in his district. But
prior to that an organization had been
effected in Augusta to protect men
against the draft each member paying
$25 to the fund to hire a substitute, if
drafted.
Mr.. Blaine out of that fund hired a
substitute named Bradford. A soft place
was found for the man to remain at the
post in Augusta instead of going to the
front. After a while he was detected in
selling for money certain certificates, and
he was kept in Jail until the close of the
war. That constituted Mr.. Blaines ser
vice in the field.
after the war closed the men who
had been drawn claimed that the towns
and cities should pay the expenses they
had been put to, and Augusta generous
ly voted to pay these men the money
they had paid for substitutes, and Mr.
Blaine got his bond for 5000. But that
is not the end. Afterward a resolution
was put before the Common Council o
Augusta to pay Mr.. Blaine $500, tn,
amount he had paid for substitute, anC
it was voted and passed, and he was paid
That you can rely on as being the true
story"
This interesting statement contains
several facts worthy of attention.:
; l. Mr.. Blaine was the first persol
drafted for the war in his district.
>. He hired one Bradford for 5000,
3. Bradford never went to the front
but was imprisoned during the war for
criminal offence.
4. The Common Council of August
repaid to Mr.. Blaine the 5000 he ha
given to Bradford as substitute.
1t thus appears that Mr.. Blaine neithe
! served in the war, nor was he even req
: resented by a substitute. He was thrift
ty in his patriotism. AT that time Nj

STARVING COMANCHFS,

WASHINGTON, July IA dispatch has
been received at the Interior Department
from a number of large herders in Mon
tana, stating that about 900 COmanche
Indians from the Pine Ridge agency, in
Dakota, have left their reservation and
are now on Rosebud, Powder and Horn
river, in a starving condition. hestock-
men fear depredations on their cattle, and
desire the Department to take immediate
action looking to the recall of the Indians
to their agency. The Commissioner of
Iudian Affairs has instructed the agent
at Pine Ridge to investigate the truth of
the statement.
FUNIGATING FRENCH MAILS.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-The Postmaster
General yesterday sent cable dispatch
to the British government inquiring
whether the French mails for America
sent by English steamships were disin-
fected. A reply was received to-day to
the effect that no such precautions were
taken. The matter will be brought to
the attention of the cabinet, as it may
become necessary for the government to
take some steps to prevent the cholera
being imported into the country through
the foreign mails. 1t is believed at the
Foreign Department that when the local
authorities of the large Atlantic cities
learn that the French mails via England
are not fumigated, they will inspect them
without reference to any action of the
national government.
