troduCed to her.
After relinquishing the female school,
as have stated, the military school was
opened at Drennon. Cousin Thornton
died there of typhoid fever. DR.. Green,
tho telegraph man, lived in the Dren-
non hills, not far from our Drennon
hotel, and was employed by Mr.. A. o.
Smith, who then owned the Drennon
Springs, to wait upon the visitors, and
he was Cousin Thornton's doctor. Maj.
Blaine was professor OF languages, |
think, in the schoOl-at any rate one of
the military or literary staff prior to
this which | have stated. When
the awful fact was discovered on Miss
Stanwood, she, or it, broke up the
female school. She, with her mother,
nice old lady, came from Georgetown to
my house, here in Louisville, on their
way to New Haven, Maine. As she
stood before the mirror in my room,
preparing to go out in my carriage, to do
some shopping, l thought she was a
magnificent woman-a Juno! My
father thought 30, too. We were un-
aware of her condition. After awhile
we learned the facts from Cousin Mar
garot, whom ! met at Drennon previous
to her husbands death. Cousin Thorn
ton, failing to persuade Maj. Blaine
| to 20 to New Haven and do the
honorable amende, asked my fathers
assistance, and through their CON
| Joint persuaiOns he went. My under
standing from Mrs. Johnson that
the child was one year old when Mai.
Blaine married his wife. When her
mother reached home with her daugh-
ter, she, brokeu-hearted, ! suppose, in
troduced her daughter rs u widow.
Mr.. Blaine has always been a friend
l Ia l thf,,ly gA ~, itN,ut,,
toms widow and sons. She is now liv-
ing at Dallas, Texas. Her oldest son,
generally known rs red-headed Willio
johnson, Is there, too. Unless expect
ing layors from Maj. Blaine he will tell
the positive facts.
Mai. Blaine did not have 10 marry
Harriet Stanwood at the point Of the
pistol. My father and Cousin Thorn
ton persuaded him to do the upright,
manly thing. ! never saw him after he
left Drennon,
If he is sensitive about his wife he
ought to take his family and go TO
Europe, the whole posse comitatus.
The awful and responsible office OF
the President Of the United States
should be filled by man sans reproche
"a religious man. He should recognize
and fear the presence OF our Divine
Master. We are nation, an august
nation, capable of appreciating the maj
esty Of independence and freedom OF
conscience beneath the eye of God, and
: not man alone. The whole sum total o.
time is a segment OF eternity, and the
) man who does not realize divine guild
, ance is unfit in himself TO guide ma
ton.

associated in my heart with my father
with my early home, Drennon; but, a
