desperately in love with the same beautiit al
Russian. She was a most charming
woman, with soft, mysterious eyes, a
pale, delicate face, and a slow, dreamy
smile that set the two warriors wild. All
the garrison knew of their fierce rivalry,
so marveled not a little when their old
friendship appeared to be restored, and
the two suitOrs started OF on a hunting
expedition together. One haggard man
returned two DAYS later and told that his
companion had been attacked and gored
to death by an enraged buck in the forest.
He was gloomy and strange in his man
ner, and at nightfall went to the house of
the Russian lady TO break the news of his
rivals death.
The friends of the lost officer talked the
thing over, and suspecting that a duel
had been fought, decided to 90 out the
next day and search for the body. In the
morning the surviving rival was found
dead in bed, with a look of agony and
horror on his face. One story was that
his victim had appeared to him, a nd h
/ had died OF fright and terror; the other
was that some unknown and subtle poison
/ had been administered to him in cup of
/ tea, and the official report ascribed his
/ death to heart disease. The body
| of the lost rival was found at
/ the foot Of steep bank on the shore
Of Indian river. where tangle of
/ ferns, bushes and grasses shaded and
! almost covered the clear, still pool in
/ which he lay. His rifle lay near him, and
/ a bullet hole in the heart told the sad
/ truth that his friends had suspected. His
death was officially attributed to the ac-
| cidental discharge Of his own rifle while
hunting, and under these two verdIcts
the real truths were concealed. The
family OF the Russian beauty disappeared
from Sitka in a few months, and the story
had been half forgotten until the recent

ing to find Old Bill loose in the barn,

empty. He soon returned Il verdict
that the horse had eaten barrel of oats
and would probably die. Calling the
hired man, John, he told him to hitch
the horse up and drive him gently all
day, and he might possibly save his
life. John started, went to the Center,
took one or two of his friends and went
to st. Jolmsbury, where he spent the
day pleasantly, and returned in the
evening TO find Huntly an anxious
man. "Well,' exclaimed he, "the

THE caucus last Saturday was but
moderately attended, many of the indie
pendents remaining at home, while the
machine was fully represented. The
work, previous to the caucus, on the
part of the machine, was very well
done, although it smacked largely of
"ways that are dark and tricks that are
vain," and resulted in a divided dele
cation.
But the open and shameless offering
Of passes to the delegates is deserving
of the severest censure, and should not
be approved, nor do we think it will be
by any good citizen. When men high

The private character of James &.
Blaine, the Republican candidate for
President, is said to be entirely spotless.
He is strictly temperate, member of
the Congrcgationalist church, and in
his family relations very like the Ia
mented Garfield. And being bold,
fearless and aggressive defender and
champion of Republican principles
from the organization of the party to
the present time, we see no reason why
any Republican should withhold his
cordial support.

The New York Sun, Democratic,
says of Blaine's popularity:
The people like Blaine partly because
he is a hearty, cordial, unaffected, a.
greeable man. Nobody can be in his
society for half an hour without being
entertained and impressed. Heis vivid
and genial. Even when he is acting he
is true to nature and carries his auditor.
AS party man Blaine is just as
wholesouled as he is in n coterie of his |
cronies. He is for the regular nomina-
ton every time, and nobody ever heard
him talk of boiling the ticket. Though
he was too shrewd and too broad to
like Grant, he never opposed him ex-
cept when the third-term conspiracy
came up and then Blaine lifted his big
! fist and let him have it between the
eyes; after which the third term was
heard of no longer.
But all this does not suffice to account
for Mr.. Blaine. 1t does not fully cx-
plain his speed and bottom. The secret
is not there. Moreover, while these
things are necessary to his power
among men, they do not constitute it.
They are the foundation, and the edi-
flee towers above. The inner soul of
Blaine is his intense Americanism. He
is American through and through, bone,
fibre and finger nails. He always flies
the American flag, and the American
eagle perches on his shoulder To the
hereditary antagonist, foe, and rival of
the United States, to England, his flag
is never lowered, not evenin ceremony.
, Civilization and intelligence constant
f " tend to obliterate barbarism and
barbarous impulses; but we suppose
! that in the heart Of every American of
revolutionary descent, fed on the mem
cries Of that momeatus struggle, edu-
) Gated in the Fourth of July orations OF
thirty-tive years ago, there turks, not
| withstanding all the effects of culture
and Christianity, a certain luminosity
towards the mother country, towards
! England. The feeling is not so strong
of course, as that which prevails in al
: Hishmcn; but it is strong enough
nevertheless. This sentiment Blaine
. represents and embodios, and it makes
him friends who would never be hi
r friends otherwise.
Those politicians, Independents ano

# of inborn passion, avowed or hidden, i
n thing that can be despised in a presi

Chicago convention:

tune to be born there. 1t is the old
Empire State. 1t stands like the angel
of the Apocalypse, with one foot rest
ing upon the sea and the other upon the
land, the mistress of both. 1t has the
spirit of Blaine and Logan in its bosom.
The old Rcpublicanism of that State
which challenged the diabolism of
Democracy thirty years ago has still
within its heart the old undying and
imperishable faith. 1t will carry this
banner, you may rest assured, forward
through the storms and fires of the con-
fiict upon which we are about to enter
to triumph and victory. There may be
those who will hesitate and falter by
the roadside. There may be those who
will weary in this magnificent march.
The campaign is now upon us. We
have no time for liniments or poultices.
We cannot stop to heal the intirm. The
lame men must fall behind, the cripples
be relegated to the rear. The great,
healthy, splendid marching of the Re-

will place it, you may be sure, upon
