rhose mu,,igan Letters.

Not long before the convention at
Cincinnati Blaine became involved in
an unpleasant scandal that was made
a subject of Congressional investiga-
ton. 1t was charged that the Little
Rock u Fort Smith railroad subsidy
had been put through Congress by
bribery, and there was certain evil
dence that Blaine was in some way
interested i'm the matter. One of the
principal witnesses against Blaine was
a man named Mulligan, who declared
that he held letters from Blaine that
would substantiate the charges. He
was summoned To Washington to tes-
tify to the investigating committee.
On the night of his arrival he was in
vited with other witnesses to Blaine's
house, but declined to go. The next
morning Blaine went to him and beg
ged him TO save him and family from
ruin, but Mulligan refused. Blaine
asked to see the letters, promising, on
the honor of II gentleman,t to give them
back forthwith Mulligan handed him
the package. Blaine instantly threw
threw it into the CRATE, and the cores
pOndence was burned. This is Multi
gan's story, as told under oath. Hav-
ing destroyed this evidence, the Maine
statesman regained his assurance, and
made passionate speech in the House
declaring the charges against him to
be malicious inventions, and denounc-
ing the authors with all the vigor of
protesting innocence.

The English Premier.

There, in Office Ton the treasury
bench), sits the first lord of the treas
ury and leader Of the house of COM
mons, stretched out, with his legs
before him, and his toes turned up to
the lantern roof. His hands he listless-
ly crosses on his lap. His head droops
over his right shoulder. His face is
pallid. The corners of his mouth droop
as if in pain. His scant gray hair
clings like fringe of floss about the
base OF his great skull. His eyes are
closed. The powerful features, touch
ed with tinge of sweetness and over
worn with half a century of politics,
mutely engender pity. His ill-titting
clothes hang loosely about his figure,
always 1.-THE and active in motion, and
with free stride of wild thing of the
woods. (But when Mr.. Gladstone is
once aroused by attacks of his oppo-
nents) ''the lax figure, which seemed to
sleep, suddenly sits bolt upright, chin
in the air, and hands clasping his
knees. There are only three fingers on
the left hand, the bare knuckles being
concealed with circular black patch
kept in its place by narrow black rib
bon drawn back and front of the palm.
All traces of fatigue pass away, the
eyes, large and luminous, keen and
gray, rest with anger upon the enemy.
The nostrils dilate. the lips, still close,
work impatiently, the body leans for
ward. the hands glide upon the knees
pressed outward.
'In a moment Mr. Gladstone is on
his feet. Say it is a field night and
that he has come from some political
reception. He wears evening clothes
and a flower. When he comes down
to the house decorated with the spoiIs
of the garden the reporters sharpen
their pencils and members wait about
the lobbies to hear him. BY what pro-
cess the liberal chief rumples the fronts
of his dress shirts is secret as close as
that of the age of the world. With
couple of quick steps he comes to the
box at the corner of the ta-
BILE, and for an instant beams upon the
house. Then he opens the flood gates
Of his oratory. and deluges the COM
