Mr.. Blaine's Washington residence

between $4,000 and $50,00O, while
those of Pendleton, Windom and

Robson asks 100000 for his house,
and lots everywhere are assuming me-
tropoliuan prices. A member could
formerly hire nicely furnished room
for$150 a month during the session; now
the same accommodations are twice as

1nembered the icy morning, few
weeks ago, when he saw Nina in her
swansdown mantle holding up sheaf
of wheat against the blue sky, and a
hundred little birds lowering round it,
with whirling wings and chirruping
cries, and he turned and looked at
Nina with piercing gaze again, before
which her soft eyes fell, till the bushes
streamed up to meet the lashes; and
as he gazed knowledge came slowly
swelling up in Harold's heart and soul
that what ever attraction dark and
glowing beauty and luxurious sur
rounding had had for his senses alone,
that the love of his life had suddenly
sprung, full grown and winged for an
eternal fiight-so eternal that now, in
the first moment of its recognition, he
could no more tell if it had ever had
beginning and if it would ever have an
end. So white, so fair, so sweet, so
pure-was it possible he had been blind
to it all for years? So white, SO fair,
SO sweet, SO pure, was it possible that
he could win her? Would she take the
poor remnant he had to give-his
jeatoese epuisee.
For one brief moment Harold Hart
ley felt pangs of punishment that
seemed to have lasted for years, and
he felt like sad old man as he still
gazed at her. But he was not one to
be long daunted, either by his own un-
worthiness or by the cruelty of fate.
In heart beat or two he was himself
again, and he plunged in, aware that,
even if she would have none of him
now, it gave him the vantage-ground
of her compassion for the future.
II am glad" he said, that you are
not at rest in this life. 1t is differen1
life that wish you to share. Nina is
it possible -" And then a little
hand stole into his. and he led her
away into the palm shadows of the
conservatory. All! what a fool have
been," he was saying, exultantly. as
he bent over her, "Why did I never
know that I loved you before?'
81 always felt you did" she was mur
muring to reply. II always knew yor
would-if not here, then hereafter
For never remember the time wher
I did not love you!"
And this New Years day. he said
lis the gateway of new life for botf
of us. All! with Gods help what life
lies before usl''

AS MALONE fears that he will have nc
more influence under Blaine than under
democratic administration, aud as his
continued factorship in politics depends

President, it is by no means wonderful that
he should have grossly abused Fisher and
MulIigan, through his amanueusis. aud
thereby provoked them to publish Mr..
Blaine's damning letters, which they had
kept secret for eight years, and probably
would have done so for ever had it not been

President.

In ONE Of Fishers letters to Blaine he
says II have placed you i'll positions where
by you have received very large sums OF
money without one dollar of expense to
you, aud you ought not to forget the act on
my part. Ofall the parties connected with
the Little Rock and Fort Smith Railroad
no one has been so fortunate as yourself in
obtaining money out of it." If Mr.. Blaine
made all this money by means of his inhu.
ence as Speaker of the House, and still
wanted more, would the entire contents of
the Treasury satisfy him, with the oppor-
tunities that would be afforded his rapacity
BY the possession of the Presidency?

FISHER writes to Blaine: "You obtained
subscriptions from your friends in Maine
for the building of the Little Rock and Fort
Smith Railroad. Out Of these subscriptions
you obtained large amount both of bonds
and money free of cost to you. have your
figures, and know the amount. Owi"g TO
your political position you were able to work
of all your bonds at very high price, and
the fact is as well known to others as to
myself. Would your friends in Maine be
satisfied if they knew the facts - No Won
der there should be talk about the reassem
bling of the national republican convention,
the deposition OF Nj. Blaine from his can
didacy, and the substitution of a man whose
dishonesty is at least not so glarngly appa-
rent as his. Why, the election of Mr.. Blaine
would be putting premium upon bribery
and corruption in the highest offices of the
country 1t is by no means surprising that
the men who have any interest in the pre-
servation of the material, let alone the
moral, welfare of the country, should pro.
test, almost as one man, against the con-
spiracy of the star reuters and other plum
derers to make such man as Mr.. Blaine
