Blowing conversation:
Yes, know all about Blaine when he
was at Georgetown and Millersburg,
Reporter-What, you say you knew
kBlaine when he was in Kentucky?

town and afterwards went to Miilers-
burg. My folks lived in Georgetown,
Kentucky.

Answer-My name Is A. Harris. My
brother was blacksmith i'll George
s town afterwards. When young Blame
was there he was considered very |
handsome young man and was gcher-
ally liked by the people Tor his
atlable manners ana general department
Rep,-Did you ever see Miss stan
wood or know anything about herr
Yes: | have seen her about the school |
house, and have seen her aiterward
about old man Johnsun's, at Miliers-
bury. The boys-Or rather the young
men--used to talk d great deal about
Hiss StanwoOd's beauty, aud how they
were gong to set up TO her, but young
Blaine always seemed to have the al
vantage.
Rep.-Did you know Capt. William NJ
johnson, the present Guy Engineer OF
Dallas, when he lived there?
Did / know him? OF course ! knew
s. him, and | knew Billy Sutton, too, who
was "a little tOw-headed boy at that time,
and is now a doctor in this town.
Rep.-Did you ever hear Of the Blaine
scandal in Kentucky in regard to Miss
StanwOod, who il now reputed to be his
wife?
Well, there was some talk during the
spring of 1851 and 1852, forget which,
that Miss StanwOod and Prof. Blaine
were more intimate than they should be-
Rep.--Did you ever know OF their be-
ing married while in Kentucky, and
belonged to the different schOolsY
There was nothing known of such re-
latlonShip while they lived in Kentucky.
There was considerable talk at brennan
Springs against Miss StanwOOd and
Prof. Blaine in March, 1851, and they
very shortly afterwards left that place.
Where they wont, or what become OF
them, hardly know, until long years
afterwards.
Rep Did you know them as man and
wife while they lived in the State o
kentucky?
If Blaine was over married in thu
State of Kentucky, nobody ever seemed
to know anything about it.
Rep.-Well, Mr.. Adams-if such hat
been the case, was you in such posi-
ton as to know anything about thes
affairs?
OF course l was. Was not schola
in Old JohnsOn's school, and didn't
know everybody in the whole count
around? All OF my folks lived in tn,
county, and even many Ofmy relatiYC
"A live there yet. | am satisfied of on
az thing, however, that Mr.. Blaine ney,
claimed Miss StanwOOd publicly rs h
wife.
Rep.--Have you read Capt. johnson
letter published IN the HERALD of Il
4th instant, aud BlaiGo's letter 10 an
Dear Phelps in the HERALD OF TO-DAY
4 Yes-I think that "Read-headod Wi
lie"-as we used to know him
is as far wrong with the fac

as he is, as To the time when Pre-
Blaine left his fathers school. | CNpt
that Blaine really tells the truth rs
when he first claims to have been IN,

bend she aud he were the only on
present ON that interesting occasion.
