THE; MAGNETIC MAN.
Mr. Blaine's Arrival at Cincinnati
--Cheers and Speeches.

CINCINNATI, Oct 1T was 80 when Blaine
came into the depot at Cincinnati, On the LIST,
where a crowd was in waiting. As soon as
Blaine appeared there was a scene of wild ex-
element and confusion. The people cheercd,
yelled and pressed around him SO that it was
impossible TO keep an avenue open by which
his party could reach the carriages. Mr. Hanna
OF the Republican state committee, and Judge
Foraker escorted Blaine, and they had to strug-
gle out through the cheering crowd. Once in
the carriages Blaine was driven slowly along
Fourth street. The sidewalks were fully Occu-
pied all the way. A great many windows were
decorated, and every window and doorway was
crowded with spectators. When the carriage
turned from Fourth street into Vine street to
go to the Burnett house, it passed through 4
dense mass Of people filling Vine street above
and below the hotel for Il long distance who
cheered and shouted and waved handkerchicfs
and made almost every possible demonstration
OF enthusiasm. They continued shouting
'Blaine' until the candidate came out on the
balcony, corner Third and Vine streets. Here
y y, Foraker presented him to thc people:
When Blaine got chance to speak he said :
~ thank you all good citizens Of Cincinnati
for this cordial and magnificent rccep,ion.'
The crowd chccrcd again and again Blaine
retired into the hotel.
In tie multitude who received Blaine to-day
were many work;rgmen.
At 6:3G Blaine was escorted by the reception
committee to the Exposition building. which
was already crowded. For Il while Blaine held
an informal reception in the commissioners
Office, where some gentleman and lnanyl aides
were presented to him. Then he was escorted
to the stage. and upon being introduced, was
greeted with an outburst of applause from all
parts of the great hall. Blaine waited for it to
subside and then made few graceful remarks
appropriate to the occasion
Senator Sherman, Judge Foraker and Con-
gresham Folctt made brief addresses.
After the speaking Blaine was given a COM
plimcntary dinner bv the commissioners of the
exposition. The party dine in an apartment
adjoining the exposition restaurant and open
ing in the public part Of the building. While
the dinner was going on the people outside got
as near the entrance as the police would per-
nit, and sent forth at intervals cheers and calls
Of blaine, Blainc,' so that at last Mr. Blaine
had to rise from the table and 90 to the door
and show himself 1Ic stood a few moments
bowling, while the crowd chccrcd, and then re-
sumcd his seat ard soon after, at about quar-
ter before 10, retired from the hall and was
driven to his hotel. The occasion was, of
course, entirely non-Dolitical, and there was
no speaking at the dinner, at which several To-
ca!ly distinguished Democrats were present.

still further advance on account of the i'm
proved condition of the company and the con
tinuance Of the heavy traffic which the com
pany has had all summer, an extra steamer
being dispatched to-day to take freight left
over from the regular steamer of the week.
The news that an advance shipment of gold
amounting to e13O, GOO had started also had
favorable effect on prices, which were still fur

over $1,000 600 in deposits and nearly. 81. 500.

ond squirt upward from the range Of prices at

Commissioner of Patents Butterworth has de-
cided that the proper construction of the stat

to vast number why Blaine and Logan
should be victorious.

in are four passengers, N a stern,
savage-looking old man wearing gold

The spaniel Immediately on entering

on the old g~entleman's knees and gives
two or three banks of delight and moves
his paws once down the old gentleman's

Cigar Smoking in the House.

When young Tom Alvord-whom
the boys used to call "Young Fresh"
to distinguish him from cold Salt
went to Texas some years ago and
wrote a letter describing a session of
the Legislature, everybody regarded it
as an evidence of extraordinary bad
on the part of the Texan legis-
lators that they smoked cigars while
occupying their seats, and that none
seemed to object to it. How much
worse are the manners of the present
House of Representatives, who are not
all from Texas, but whom the Speaker
was compelled a day or two ago, to re-
mind that q rule existed prohibiting
smoking on the floor. This rule has
been shamefully disregarded of late,
and il has not been an uncommon
sight to see the members OF both sides
strike their matches, light their cigar,
and smoke them vo%ciferously whsve
loIling back in their chairs. The Is,
suit was that Mr.. Perry Belmont be-
came quite ill, and SO did good but
homely Judge Holman, and they in
dignantly protested against such polly
ton of an atmosphere already ladeal
with the peculiar aroma eXhaled by the
crowds of idle and not toe clean Amer
lean citizens of African descent whs
occupy the galleries daily. and who
listen to the debates or sleep as inclina-
ton serves.-WaShington Cor. Rochester
