Net long ago, writes Washington CORE

was published far and wide pretended in
tsrview with General Grant, who was in this
city. It was reported that he said he had
not spoken to Mr.. Blaine for three or four
years, that he would not go to any place
where he was likely to meet Mr.. Blaine, and
a lot of other stuff This was received all
over the country IS showing the hostile feel
ing between Grant and Blaine. Now here
are the facts: At the very hour that the
poor, dsluded citizen was reading this horri-
BILE story. General Grant and Mr.. Blaine were
together. AS everyone knows, General
Grant, while here. was on crutches, on ac-
count of his fall on the ice in front of his
house in New York last winter. He went
occasionally to General Beale's while here,
but he could not make calls. Now, it is we'll
known that General Beale 10 ons of Grants
most intimate friends, if not his most init
mate friend. Very well. General Grant
while here, sent General Beale to Mr.. Blaine
and requested that the latter would call on
him, as he could not call himself. Mr.. Blaine,
as understand, responded at once to the
call and spent nearly two hours with the old
Appomattex hero at his hotel. What they
talked about, Mr.. Editor, is none of my
business, but it must have been satisfactory
to both, for subsequently Mrs. Blaine called
en- Mrs Grant, and the visits were returned" 4"

Shipbuilding in England is in a very ssde
pressed condition. Since last July no less
than five thousand men employed in ship
yards on the Tyne have been discharged, and
this is nearly ten per cent. of the whole num-
Der. There were over one hundred steamers
laid up along the banks of the Tyne lately,
because the owners would lose money by at
tempting to run them. The outlook for
business the coming season is gloomy enough.
The owners say that the carrying trade is
overdone Since the year came in the ship
yards have not worked half or even quarter
the forces of last year. Whole yards are
lyiug idle aud in others the work hours have
been cut down and wages reduced. On the

A rather interesting discussion took place
in tha Massachusetts Senate day or two ago
upon bill to prevent distinction by life
color. Senator Thomas opposed the bill.
He said it was not question of sentiment,
but of business. It is an indisputable fact
that the death roll ameng the colored people
was greater than among whites. Whatever
the cause of this, it was not in the power of
the legislature to change the fact, and no
business ought to be endangered by senti-
ment. Senator Loring defended the bill.
Senator Cronin spoke strongly In its favor.
He would not have introduced such bill.
But as 1t was here, he thought Massachusetts,
ought to take the lead in this matter, though
it Yves early to make up statistics on the
colored race. The bill was passed.
A very neat little story concerning George
W. Gable, the New Orleans novelist, is going
the rounds. He spent Sunday with friends
in Monson, Mass, and attended the Congre-
gationaI church and was invited to talk to the
Sunday school in the afternoon. In the
course of his remarks he raised his hand, ex-
panded the disits, and said: "I have SO many
children at home. How many is thst?"
Give" piped mp a youngster promptly.
''And half of them are girls" continued the
speaker, staggering his audience with his ap-
parently reckless disregard of the truth.
"How much is half of fiye?" asked Mr.. Gable
''Two and half" reproachfully replied a
little miss in the front pew. ''Yes," said the
novelist with q benignant smile, as he saw
that his reputation for veracity was fast
slipping away, 1.-TWO and a half of them are
girls and the other two and half, too-fve
girls "Oh," gasped the little miss with
look of relief, and then there was a ripple of

ELLEN OWENS FLIGHT WITH A FARM
HAND IN SOUTHERN MARYLAND.
BALTIMORE, July 22.-When the
Baltimore and Potomac train stopped
at Halls Station, in Prince Georges
County, on the Pope's Greek branch,
this morning, among the passengers
who embarked on it for the junction at
Bowie was neatly dressed white
woman, of very prepossessing appear
ance, heavily yelled. The person who
acted as her es cort was rough, burly,
country negro, named Jesse Platter,
who carried two large satchels in his
hand, and hanging to one OF them was
a heavy pair Of hrogan boots, which
Indicated that the two were moving
from the vicinity. They entered the
rear car and took seats facing the back
door, so rs not be noticed by the other
passengers.
The train was well filled at the time,
and some OF the passengers knowing
the lady to be Miss Owens, Il daugh-
ter of the late DIR. Owens, a wnll-known
physician Of Anne, Arundel County,
thought ii singular that she should be
on the train in such company. Her
manner was uneasy and mysterious,
and It served to still further create
suspicion among the passengers. When
Captain Bibby, the conductor, approach
ed the couple to collect their fares, the
lady attempted to pass the negro of as
her servant, When the next station
was reached Captain Bibby was hand
ed a letter from DR.. Richardson, who
is said to be a brother-in-law Of the
lady, asking him to look out for the
pair and arrest them.
This let the cat out Of the bag, but the
conductor being clothed with no au-
thority to make arrests kept his coun-
sci in reference to the matter, at the
same time keeping Il close eye on the
couple. When they reached Benning's
Station they were arrested by officer
Prather, of the Washington police force.
They were taken to the station and
gave their names as Jesse Platter and
Ellen Owens, and their ages of 81 and
"a years respectively. The woman
states that they left home for the pur-
pose of getting married.
She left DR.. Richardson's place yes
terday afternoon and Travelled in a wag-
on to Mulliken's Station, on the Pope
Creek Line. She says that the man had
been living there some years, that they
had been counting since January last,
and that she intended to marry Jesse
at his sisters house.
The pair were married at Benning's
tonight.

provide suitable rooms separate
from criminal apartments in their
jails in which to confine such un-
fortunates, and the modes of re-
straint should be such as will not
produce pain in posture or by

individuals bearing on their per
sons the marks of the rope or
chain which cut into their flesh,
nothing Of the kind is used in this
institution, and the modes of re-
straint could be learned by appli-
cation to the officers of the asylum,
and should be by law provided
for at each county jail. Kind
treatment and sympathy go far
toward restoring or quieting an
insane person. 1t is hoped by the
writer that the philanthrophic and
humane of every community will
arouse themselves, and when a
neighbour, friend or acquaintance
or even a human beingis confined
as insane, make it their business
to visit them and if they can miti-
gate their situation by attention
or suggestion, let them do SO
out of Christian charity alone if
for no other object. / believe the
blessed Savior will say to such,
who visit and attend such cases,
"Well done good and faithful ser
want" and fulfil, by such service
the law of love. "Do unto others
as you would have them do unto
you" Pc.
