at once, though had never been in his actual
presence before. / could not help smiling at
the excellence of this gentleman's likeness, as
portrayed by the caricaturists. But evidently
he recognized me from the many amusing

his face was, like mine, on the full grin. We

NIistakenf the BIaineites.

The Blaine people laughed scOrnfully
when the Independent Republicans an
nOunced their intention to bolt Blane's
nomination. They will soon fall into the
ranks, said the Blaine leaders, who
smiled confidently and cOmplacently.
But they didn't fall into the ranks. On
the contrary, they are more defiant to-
day than they were on the day they an
nouuced their purpose to bolt. Their or
ganization is more complete than that Of
either Of the great parties, and they ap-
pear to be more abundantly supplied with
money.
They are sowing the seeds Of dissen-
sion in the Republican ranks. They are
arraying the stalwart against the half
breed in New York. They have some
documents in store that viii do Blaine
more harm than any campaign publica-
tion that has yet been made.
They are doing good work among the
Germans, and, after all, the Germans may
determine the result Of the election by
voting the Democratic ticket in the doubt
ful States. The Blaineites made a mis-
take in despising the Independents.

The Republicans have been so long IN the
habit of sneering at the Irish that they can
not abandon the practice even Tor the purpose
OF catching votes for Blaine. Judge Horace

who was mysteriOusly murdered near

the image Of the murderer would be pre-

case. French detectives have often traced
murderers by obtaining their photographs
from the eyes Of their victims. A Phila-

COW and shot her few months ago. The
cows eyes were afterwards photographed

A nincompoop out in Missouri has pro
muleated what he claims TO be a new
theory in regard to cyclones. He says
that gases arising from the earth are ig-
nited bv the heat Of the sun, and are
thereby converted into electricity, which
consumes the combustibIe portions Of the
air. thereby causing great vacuums into
which the air Tushes with circular mo
fion. and creates a wind which carries
the cvcIOne with 1t. He proposes to pre-
vent cyclones By draining swamps and
burning dead bodies so as to prevent the
formation Of these dangerous gases. He
eaerns TO have no idea that there is any
Nam in the gas he puts in the papers on
tl-fa subject.

For outbursts of real eloquenoe, for flights
of oratory which curdle the blood and stir
the s05es Of an audience, the student of rhet-
orie, and of a really unique and telling use of
language, must be commended to the aver
age political convention when the divine Rf-
hatus is on some Of the leading lights of such
an assemblRge. And we remember no such
gatherings which have been more prolific in
such rhetorical gems than were the Republi-
can district and state conventions held this
week
As sample we may instance the speech OF
ex-Lieut, Gov Hinckley of Chelsea, in sec
onding the nomination of Mr.. Fifeld when
he expressed his confidence that the Ed
munds movement would prove "a cyclone,
backed up by ohain-hghtning, which, begin
ming among the towering pines of Maine,
shall sweep over the rocky hills of Vermont,
along the great lakes, across the western
plains, and over the Rocky mountains, sing
Jag tta requiem Of the Democratic party as il
goes " 1t is needless to say that the house
came down as the honorable gentleman clos
ed, and the election of Mr.. Fiheld was car
ried by reclamation.
Even more audaoious and fioridly magma
tive in its way was the flight of the gifted
gentleman from Newport who, in seoonding
the nomination of ex-Goy. Proctor on Wednes-
day, told how he had been brought into con-
tact-''yes, into sleeping contact with that
