In the BEE of last Friday there ap'
peared an article on the subject of Dem
ver's decay and Omaha's prosperity. Be.
sides noting the fact that there are a large
number of vacant buildings in Denver,
and that business is almost dead, it was
stated that the $500, 600 city bonds,
which had been literally advertised, al
an expense of $500 in New York and
Boston, had no takers, and remained un'
sold in the city clerks office. By way o
comparison we stated that ''with
Omaha's bonds by the hundreds o.
thousands, bearing five or six per cent
commanding a premium, some as high
as two per cent, at home and abroad, W
can smile serenely at Denver's boasts o
financial greatness and growth"
City Treasurer Buck says that the Bel
might have stated Omaha's claims t.
financial credit q little more strongly.
For the last two years Omaha has solo
$3.50, 900 of 6 per cent bonds at from 81 Il
l38 per cent premium, and 5000 of
per cent bonds at from par to IL per cen
premium. OF these bonds $40, 900 of
per cents were sold at about the SAINT
time that Denver's failed to sell. Al
this has been done without any advertis'
ing in papers outside of Omaha. All the
advertising for the sale of nearly half q
million of Omaha's bonds has not cost
the city $1C0.
This is certainly a very creditable show.

Yes, l remember young James G..
Blaine distinctly" said William Chaplin,
principal of the Pennsylvania institution
for the instruction of the blind, yester-
day. "He was principal teacher here or
the boys side for two years, and when
he departed he left behind him not only
universal regret at a serious loss to the
institution, but an impression of his per-
sonal force upon the workand its methods
which ~ssurYives the lapse of twenty
years."
The Pennsylvania institution for the
instruction of the blind, at Twentieth
and Race streets, is the second place in
which Mr.. Blaine taught after his gradu-
alton from Washington College. He
rang the bell at the front door of the
building one summer afternoon in 1852,
in answer to an advertisement for a
teacher. "There were thirty or forty
applicants" said Mr.. Chaplin, ''but his
manner was so winning and he possessed
80 many manifestly valuble qualities that
| closed an engagement with him at once
He was married, and his wife and little
son Walker came here with him. His
qualities which impressed me most Deep
ly were his culture, the t~horoughness of
his education, and his unfailing self
possession. He was also a man of very
decided will, n was very much dis
posed to argument. He was young
then-only 22-and was rather impulsive,
leaping to a conclusion very quickly.
But he was always ready to defend his
conclusions, however suddenly he seemed
to have reached them. We had many
a familiar discussion in this very from,
and his arguments always astonished me
by the knowledge they displayed of facts
in history and politics. His memory
was remarkable, and seemed to re-
tain details which ordinary men would
forget.
'Now, / will show you something that
illustrates how thoroughly Mr.. Blaine
mastered anything he took fold Of" said
Mr.. Chaplin, as he took from a desk IN
the corner of the room a thick quarto
manuscript-book, bound in dark, brown
leather, and lettered journal on the
corner. ''This book Mr.. Blaine COM
piled with great labor from the minute
books of the board of managers. 1t
gives historical view Of the institution
from the time of its foundation up to the
timo of Mr.. Blaine's departure. He did
all the work in his own room, telling no
one of it until he left. Then he present
ed it, through me, to the board of mana
gers, who were both surprised and graft.

Indeed, this book, the first historical
work OF Mr.. Blaine, is q model of its
kind. On the titlepage, in ornamental
Pen-work, executed at that time by Mr.,
Chaplin, is the inscription:

lock; but by the time they reached the
breakfast room the tables had been

boys thereupon declared that they

"Mr. Blaine taught mathematics, in
which he excelled, and the higher branch

and often read aloud to the pupils. When
he went away to become editor of the
Kennebec Journal we felt that we had

Three persons nov holding positions
in tthe institution, Michael M. Williams,
William Mcmillan, and Mss Maria Cor

Mr.. Williams said yesterday: every
body loved Mr.. Blaine and his wife.
Both were always ready to do anything
for our amusement in leisure hours, and
we had Q great deal of fun, into which
they entered heartily. think that Mrs.
Blaine read nearly all of Dickens works
aloud to us; and Mr.. Blaine used to
make us roar with laughter by reading

large room at the right to the build
ing, separated by folding-doors from an
other room, aud added: In the even
ings he used to throw those doors open
and sit there under the gaslight, reading
aloud to both the boys and girls. Then
we would wind up with a spelling bee.
Sometimes Mr.. Blaine would give out
the words and sometimes one of the big
boys would do it, while Mr.. Blaine stood
up among the boys. Then we would
have great fun trying to ''spell the teach

Mn. EUGENE FIELD, of the Chicago
News, touches the sympathetic chord
very tenderly, when no makes the fol-
lowing m%ournful illusions to a very
mournful subject.
We can imagine the poignancy of the
sorrow with which DIR. George l.. Miller,
editor OF the Omaha Herald, will receive
the news of Samuel j. Tilden's positive
retirement from the political arena. Here
was a man who loved Tilden with a love
thatpassed all human understanding. At
the very mention of Tilden's name he
would incline his head reverentially and
mrrmur a ~paternoster or ave maria.
Twice a year he journeyed from his Ne.
braska lair to catch words of inspiration
as they fell from the lips of the Gramercy
park sage, and whenever he had occasion
to use Mr.. Tilden's name in his p he
always did 80 in large, black, capital let.
tiers. And a a browning proof of hi
idolatry of his statemanly friend, he
named his favorite old sorrel brood marc
samuel j. Tilden." We doubt whethe,
the pages of history could furnish a NOR,
pathetic instance of heroic devotion.
