A PRESIDENTS NEPHEW.
After a Brilliant and Eccentric Career He
Finds a Home in a Madhouse.

New Haven Conn Special.
James Knox Polk, the namesake and grand
nephew of eXPresdent Polk has been taken to
the Asylum for the Insane at Hartford Some ten
years ago young came to the little vii lage of
Saugatuck from Tennessee, and bought an old
fashioned house in secluded place. After he
had lived there while sportsmen began to flock
there. Several blooded horses stamped in the
stables. Their owner was a stout, thickset.
goodlooking young man, about five feet eight
inches high He had heavy brown mustache.
No relatives were with him, and at first he in
habited the old farm Nouse all alone.
His purse seemed always well supplied. He
bought much landed property, and it was esti-
mated roughly that his possessions were over
$780, 900. The old house was stored full of guns,
dogs and sporting implements at monthly inter
walls, and sometimes a squad of sporting men
would come from New York, and fill the old
building up to the caves. "Knoxsey," as his
friends called him, would then become genial
and full of fun Wine would flow freely. Oc-
casionally the city friends would be accompanied
by ladies' After brief visits the guests would
depart, and James Knox Polk would seclude
himself again
Every time his friends disappeared he would
hide few days, and then the villagers would see
him behind one of his fast horses on the way to
the depot A week after he would reappear.
He did not seek friendship, but had no enemies.
Every country fair within fifty miles was sure to
be attended by James Knox Polk and several of
his fastest horses. He always bet, and bet
heavily, but he did not always win. People
stared at the wholesale way in which he lost
sometimes, though he himself seemed wholly I'M
mindful of it. Every shooting contest Polk at
tended. He was good shot at glass balls: A
deep gloom seemed suddenly to settle upon him.
He was no longer himself. Frequently he acted
as one dazed.
Lack of business management became APP
parent His property was poorly cared for,
What farming land he owned was used for pas
ture for his horses or left uncultivated to shoot
over. His New York friends continued to come
in troops and, though he seemed to have no per-
sonal interest in their sport, his style of enter
tainment made big inroads into his resources.
A year or two ago his friends had a master of his
estate appointed who was at first Mr. Morris
Ketchum, and after his death Mr.. Goose. of New
York city to whom 81, 400 year is allotted for
expenses. Last year his horses were attached
for debt, but were not sold, as the matter was
settled. Of late his eccentricities have been
more strongly marked He went into business
on Broad street, New York, and lost heavily.
Last year he married the niece of his house
keeper. This spring he shaved off his eyebrows.
One day, after, he got on a tantrum and
pounded neighbours boy over the head with a
bottle His wife has finally felt compelled
to place him in an insane asylum.

Prince Napoleon and His Family.


The quarrel between Prince Napoleon and his
eldest son quite reioces the hearts of the French
Republicans, who look with pleasure upon every
fresh token of dissension amongst the Bona
partists or their leaders. Prince Victor is said,
by those who know him well, to be a good deal
more of an Italian than Frenchman. He re
sembles his uncle King Humbert far more than
he does that disreputable old gentleman his
father and in his tastes, and habits, and opin-
ions. he is much more inclined to follow his
mothers training than his fathers example.
Meanwhile the Jeromst branch of the imperial
party strongly blame the Princess Clotilde for
keeping aloof from her ll-behaved spouse. "She
ought to come to Paris and do what she could
to aid his cause" said one of the Princes
partsans to me the other day l hardly think
that 1.-THE daughter of hundred kings will
ever forget the woful experiences of her welded
life in Paris. The hunting parties gotten up in
honor of Cora Pearl by her husband, the break
fasts he was won't to give with princes and
ladies of the demmonde as his guests, and
above all his passion for displaying himself be-
fore witnesses in the garb of Adam before the
fall, must all have been unspeakably trying to

Mr.. Blaine at Home.

Augusta Special.
Mr. Blaine finds his time very much occupied
He is at work upon the second volume of his po-
is daily called upon to assist some of the histo-
rians who are preparing campaign editions of
his life. Whenever such a delegation as the one
from the Pacific Slope comes, he of course suf-
fers serious Interruptions. His immense capa-
city for work will stand him in good stead this
year, for his history is under contract to be fin
ished at the appointed time, and he cannot slight
the political friends who daily come to consult
him on various matters. On account of all
these things it is hardly expected that he will
spend as much of the heated term at Bar Harbor
as he had planned The people of that charm
ing resort will much regret this, for it was ex-
pected his presence would greatly add to the
attractions of the place
Mr.. Blaines mansion in this city is about as
pleasant summer residence as one can find
Its location is next the State-house SQUARE and
howered with noble trees, while close by are
large tracts of field and forest reminding one
more of country than city residence Mr.
Blaine is understood to be already at work upon
his letter of acceptance though he will say moth
ing regarding its contents. There has been CON
siderable said regarding his position towards
civil-service reform and there is little doubt but
what he will take firm stand in its favor when
the letter is published. He has already placed
himself upon record in its favor in his published
utterances and in his eulogy of President Gar
field, and there is no reason to believe he has
changed his position.

General Manson seems to have the true con
ception of the nature of the contest the De-
mocracy must make in order to win. The usual
resort to abuse and SANDER has played its part
ognized that SANDER and abuse heaped on candi-
date always reacts on his opponent General
Manson charactertizes the nomination of Blaine
as the first instance in the history of the Repub-
lican party where the national convention Sc
lected the choice of the people, and admonished
his Democratic brethren that this is not the year
for abuse that the fight will have to be made on
national issues and not personal character He
said Blaine was the brainest man in the Repub-
lican parry, and the purest man it has nominated
since Lincoln.

early in 1882" said Senator Mitchell, Il had
a talk with Mr.. Blaine relative to the necessity
for the passage of law to reform the civil serv-
ice. At that time 1 was a member of the civil
service committee. and 1 had the same deep
interest in the subject that I still feel. 1 saw
impending trouble for the party in Pennsylva-
nia growing out of the deliberate attempt of
the politicians to thwart the will of the people:
and felt convinced that the enactment of law
placing the appointment of subordinate govern
ment officials beyond the power of the favorites
of the administration was essential to the main
tenance of the supremacy of the Republican
party
cat this time you could have counted upon the
fingers of one hand all the senators who would
have voted for the passage of such civil service
law as we now enjoy. Then it was that l talked
with Mr. Blaine on the subject and to my graft
fcation he expressed himself in the strongest
terms in favor of the enactment of law regu-
lating appointments to Office. 1t was not until
the political earthquake of 1882, when the people
expressed their emphatic dsapproval of machine
methods. that the Republicans were aroused to
the necessity of passing a civil-service bill. Mr.
Blaine was then far in advance of the great ma
iority of the Republican senators in favor of this
reform, and it is fact that 1 think the indie
pendent voters of the country should under
stand"

sale but the publication of the vile trash which
has done, and is still doing, so much to ruin the
young of both sexes. All such papers should be
classed where they belong, as obscene literature,
