was in my native State of Pennsy,-
vania perfectly legal form of mar
riage.
On reaching home | found that my
family, and especially my bereaved
mother, strongly discountenanced my
business plans, as involving too long
separation from home and kindred.
I complied with her wish that should
resume at least for time, my occupa-
ton in Kentucky, whittier | returned
in the latter part Of August.
During the ensuing winter, induced
by misgivings which were increased
by legal consultations, became
alarmed lest doubt might be thrown
on the validity Of our marriage, by
reason of Noncompliance with the
law of the State where it occurred, for
[ had learned that the laws of Ken
lucky made license certificate by the
clerk of the County court an indis-
pensable requisite Of legal marriage.
After much deliberation, and with an
anxious desire to guard in the most
efectual manner against any possible
embarrassment resulting from our
position, for which [ alone was re-
sponsible, we decided that the simplest
and at the same time the surest way
was to repair to Pennsylvania and
have another marriage service perform
ed. This was done in the presence of
witnesses, in the City Of Pittsburg,
in the month of March, 1851, but was
not otherwise made public, for obvious
reasons. 1t was solemnized only to
secure an indisputable validity, the
first marriage being by my wife and
myself always held sacred.
At the mature age of 81 do not
defend the wisdom or prudence Of a
secret marriage suggested by the ardor
and in experience of youth, but its hon
or and its purity where inviolate as [
believe in the sight of God, and can
not be made to appear otherwise by
the wicket device of men. It brought
to me a companionship which has
been my chief happiness from boy
hoods year to this hour, and has
crowned me with whatever Of success
| have attained in life.
My eldest child, a son, was born in
his grandmother's house, ON the 18th
udy Ol y uuc. 1Oo1, Ill tIo Clty VI Au-
gusta, Maine, and died in her arms
three years later. His ashes repose
in the cemetery Of his native city be-
meath stone which recorded his name
and the limits of his innocent life.
That stone, which had stood for al
most an entire generation, has been
recently defaced by brutal and sacri-
legious hands.
As candidate for the Presidency |
knew that | should encounter many
forms Of calumny and personal defam-
alton, but confess that I did not ex-
pect to be called ON to defend the
name Of beloved and honored wife,
who is mother and a grandmother,
nor did expect that the grave of my
little child would be cruelty desecrat-
ed. Against such gross forms of
wrong the laws gives no adequate re-
dress, and | know that IN the end my
most effective appeal against the un-
speakable outrages which resist
must be to the noble manhood and
noble womanhood of America.
Your friend very sincerely,
JAMES g. BLAINE.

KNOCKING A ISLANDER

New YORK, Sept. 2O.-Hon. VIM.
Walter Phelps takes the responsibility
Of giving to the public the following
private letter addressed to him nearly
two weeks ago:
AUGUSTA, September 6, 1884.
My Dear Mr.. Phelps:-I have your
favor Of the 4th, advising me that the
continuous invention and wide circula-
tion Of evil reports render it advisable
Tin your judgement) not to wait the
slow processes Of the law, but to speak
directly to the public in my own vim
dication. In this opinion many others
on whose judgement | rely, concur.
l shrink instinctively from the sug-
gestion, although l feel sure | could
strengthen the confidence of all who
fell friendly to me, by bringing to
view the simple thread of truh which
is concealed in this endless tissue Of
falsehood. You can imagine how in
expressibly painful it must be to dis
cuss ones domestic life in the press,
although I think with you that, under
the circumstances, | could count upon
the generosity Of the public to justify
a statement which otherwise might
seem Objectionable. [ can in any
event safely commit the facts to you
for personal communication to those
friends who have taken so delicate and
so considerate an interest in my affairs.
The leisure hours Of to-day, when our
campaign is ended, and we wait only
for the election, gives me an opportu-
nifty for this prompt reply, and for the
following essential details:
At Georgetown, KY, in the spring
of 1948, when [ was but Is years of
age | first met the lady who for more
than "a years has been my wife. Our
acquaintance resulted at the end of
six months in an engagement, which,
without the prospect Of speedy mar
riage, naturally taught to keep to our
selves. Two years later, in the spring
Of 1850, when | was maturing plans
to leave my profession in Kentucky
and establish myself elsewhere, [ was
suddenly summoned to Pennsylvania
by the death of my father. 1t being
very doubtful if | could return to
Kentucky, [ was threatened with an
indefinite separation from her who
possessed my entire devotion. My
own wish was to secure her to myself
by an indissoluble tie against every
possible contingency in life, and on
the 80 day of June, 1850, just prior to
my departure from Kentucky, we
were in the presence of chosen and
trusted friends, united by what l knew

W. A. Walden, of Steubenville,
writes US business letter, which he
closes as follows: "Will you not look
over the records of your county and
ascertain and publish the number of
suits brought, upon notes, accounts,
mortgages, and the like, during the
last two or three years Of the last
Democratic administration with which
this country was cursed, and contrast
the result with the result Of a like
investigation covering the same period
of time, during the worst period of
the panic which began in 1878.
Am quite we'll. Everything looks
we'll here, politically.
"We propose to give Blaine and
Logan 1900 majority in this county.
"We have no use for man in the
Presidential chair who has been duped
and seduced by designing woman into
becoming father before getting to
be husband. We pity him, but do
not propose to make him President.
Mrs Walden joins in kind regards
to Mrs. Mackley.

How Watch Cases are Made.

1t is a fact not generally known that the
james Boss Gold Watch Gases really con-
tain more pure gold than many "solid"
gold cases The demand for these watch
cases has led to the manufacture of very
poor grade of solid gold watch cases
low in quality, and deficient in quantity.
These cases are made from AZ to 10 karats,
and or karat case is often sold for II
or IA karats. 1t is NOT economy to buy
watch case SO poor in quality that it will
soon lose its color, or one SO soft that it will
lose its shape and fail to shut tight, thus
letting in dust and damaging the works, or
one SO thin that slight blow will break
the crystal, and perhaps the movement.
1t IS economy to buy James Boss Gdd
Watch Case, in which NONE of these things
ever occur. This watch case is not an erperi-
ment-it has been made nearly thirty gears.
HAzLEToN, Pa. Oct. "a. 1881
I sold two James Boss Gold Watch Gases thirty
years ago, when they first came out and they in
good condition yet. One Of them is carried by
carpenter, Mr.. L. W. Drake, of Hazleton, and only
shows the wear in one or two places; the other by
Mr.. Bowman, of Cunningham, Pa; and can pro-
duce one or both Of these cases at any time.

Letter from DR.. Hoffman.

OsKALoosA, Iowa, Sept. 20, 1884.
To the Editors of the Standard:
In your issue of this week [ notice
a communication from Andrew Roy,
Esq, regarding the shaft coal in and
about Jackson. in which [ think there
is an error. He states that it was not
discovered until 1853. To my GER
tain knowledge the existence Of that
vein Of coal was known when I was a
boy, and my friend George L. Crook
ham informed me that he knew Of it
when they bored for salt, before I was
born, and you know I am no infant.
If Mr.. Roy means that it was not
mined until that date, he is probably
correct; but its existence was known
in very early day. Mr.. Crookham
showed me place probably two
hundred yards west of the bridge
across Salt Greek, on the Chillicothe
road, where it was discovered nearer
the surface than at any other point.
In conversing last week with Judge
Crookham and his brother |. g., they
both corroborate my statement, recol-
lecting very distinctly of their father
telling them about it.
l think you stated in your paper
some time since that some person was
going to write about Jackson as it
was fifty years ago, and as [ was
there and had very distinct recollec-
ton Of the time and people, I should
be much pleased to read what he has
to say, and if he should forget or
misstate anything I will ''put in my
oar to help him out.
think | can draw a correct map of
the town and tell you where any per-
son lived fifty years ago, and perhaps
add some little things by the way of
accidents and incidents that many Of
the boys have forgotten.
We are enjoying nice weather.
crops Of all kinds unprecedented,
business Of all kinds booming, and a
fixed and determined resolution to
give Blaine and Logan a rousing big
vote. Yours truly,
