mated.
The following letter was received
Friday night. 1t is from a son of Thorn
ton +. Johnson, the principal of the
school in which Mr.. and Mrs. Blaine
were teachers. The writer of the letter
IS now city civil engineer at Dallas, Tex,
and is highly respected democrat. The
letter is addressed to the editor of the
indianapolis Times, and is as follows:
In answer to your request for a state
ment as to any facts relating to the
as published in the Indianapolis Senti-
mel, [ will say this much:
This SANDER was first circulated at
Drennon Springs, Ky, in March, 1851, by
a pernicious scandal monger, tailor
from Millersburg in the same state, then
on visit to DrennOn to collect some
bills due him by the cadets for suits sold
them the previous session at Blue Licks.
Hi object in originating this story was
either to pander to the appetite of young
men for such subjects, or crafty some
spite he entertained against Mr.. Blaine.
Mr.. Blaine being at this time absent
from the institute on a trip to LOUSY lie,
KY, the scandal did not reach his ears,
or it would have been SummarilY dis
posed of then and there forever.
Remaining uncOntradicted, although
unbelieved, it was scattered to the four
winds Of heaven by he lovers of such
tt tle-ta tie. In this way originated the
slander against the fir name of q most
modest lady; wit out even the shade of
a shadow IF fact to warrant such an in
sinu ton.
Mr. Blaine remained as Professor Of
Latin in he il stitution until 1852, ms
father, the princip l, dying October,
1851. DueS it st nd to reason that " ith
even the leas possibility of such a story
being true, NJ. Blaine wOul4 have been
allowed to remain at the ms itute, or
that my father could ass ciate wi h such
man? AS for myself, l can say tat
for four years [ knew Mr.. and Mrs.
Blaine in 'imately, as thoroughly as any
man can know his own brother and
sister living under the same roof. eating
at the same hle. members Of the same
table, members Of the same family circle,
yet | have never even DIRE AIMED of .uch
d suspicion. Never was thee a more
modest and prudent lady than Miss
StanwOCd; never a more perfect gentle
man than Mr.. B aine. While l always
liked Mr.. Blaine as a professor and ad-
mired him as a man, yet in politics we
differ materia ly, as much as it is possi-
bic for a democrat to differ from le-
publican, and is statement is not writ
ten to advance his Cause as the candi-
date of his party for the presidency, but
to vindicate the fair fame of Mrs.
Blai e. [ close by stating that in my
opinion, and as far as | know, the story
is false and malicious Sian er in every
particular. WILLIAM NJ. JOHNSON.

A Mean Trick on Bees.
Orange N. j. Cor. Hartford Times.

orange (N. ~ COF 1arCIOTu Times.
1t was German, L believe, who In
vented the extractor now in common
use in England and ia this country.
That idea came to him upon seeing
his boy tie bit of string to piece Of
honey comb and swing it around his
head in order to get the honey out.
T1e centrifugal force forced the hon
ey out of the comb From this to
the ordinary extractor it was but a
step The machine, as IN common
use, consisted simply of big tin bar
rel, containing a frame upon which
honey comb may be placed. By
means of ordinary gearing the frame
is turned very rapidly. and the honey
flies from the cells to the side of the
barrel and trickles down. The beau
ty of the extractor is that it saves TIE
bees all the trouble Of making honey
comb a labor requiring considerable
time and material, inasmuch as for
every pound of comb there are twenty
pounds of honey. When the comb in
the extractor is empty, it is put back
into the hive, and the bees, dismayed
at the loss of their stores, go to work
at terrific rate in order to provide
for the coming famine When the
comb is again full of honey, it is
placed III the extractor and again
emptied. According TO the experience
of ms venerable friend. the bees can
be made to do about twice as much
work when their honey is taken away
from them after this fashion as when
they are required to build comb. In
other words, the yield of honey is
nearly double.

The Boston Globe is working the
old gag of publishing a number pur
porting to be printed 300 years hence
The issue bears the title of the WOm
ans Daily Globe, and seems to be ii
burlesque on the woman-suffrage
movement. Most of the articles are
intended to show how, IN 20.2, man
has become subordlnated to woman.
He is represented as attending to the
babies doing the Washing, sweeping
the sidewalks, making the beds,
screaming at the sight of mouse
and petitioning for the right of suf-
frage that has Deen taken from him.
