ing, carefully tied up, and asked them to
take care OF them, as they were Mr.. Blaine's
geological specimens. One Of the grave col
lege professors, well versed in mineralogy,
came in some time afterwnrd and asked what
that bundle was. They told him it was Mr..
Blaine's specimens from Kentucky. The
bundle was opened and he investigated it.
