Blaine Visits the President.

Washington Special Mr. Blaine made for
nal call on President Cleveland at the White
House last Friday afternoon at o'clock. He
was received in the library by the president
No one else was present during the interview.
They were together some twenty five minutes
or half an hour. But little detail of the con-
versation is known save that it was on general
and not leading topics Mr.. Blaine said there
was nothing whatever to tell; that he had sim
ply paid his respects private citizen to the
chief magistrate of the nation, and had been
very courteousy and kindly received by him
Beyond that there was really nothing to say.
Mr. Blaine called through an arrangement Mr.
Blaine's visit at the White House caused quite
4 sensation among the attendants at the door,
az only the president and Col. Lamont knew of
his coming President Cleveland did not care
10 say anything beyond the fact that the cal
was pleasant one Tie sharp fight of the
campaign had evidently left no heartburnings
behind with the two who had the greatest stake

The Smart Salesman. y
ON the Lewiston journal.

From the Lewiston Journal
cone night sailor came into the store and
wanted to buy blanket OF course he want
ed cheaper one than any we had in stock and
was afraid my mamie hadn't been here
long-woud let him go Not bit of 1t. he
marched him off to lot of big horse blankets
and pointed out their size and dilated on their
merits The sailor seemed pleased at the size
and quality, but asked what them holes were
for oh said my man, 'tha,s new thlng
and verv popular You just get into your
berth and pass this belt (meaning the surcln-
gle) through those holes and tasten 1t around
YOU, and 1t can't slip off We sell lots OF
Them but il YOU don't like it we can cut 1t on .
The sailor did like 1t, and paid his money and
left the store happy. -
"Another time we had pair of fur-lined
boots or shoes we could not get rid OF. When
one day young man from the country came
in and wanted something of the sort, my clerk
brought oul this identical pair. The customer
was delighted and tried EN- on, but they were
so small they hurt him badly My salesman
saw the difficulty Immediately, and was as
ready as ever Look here, stranger, he SAID
What are you trying to do You We got your
stockings ca. haven't your? The man aunt
ted that he had. Why, these are made on
purpose to save stockings, said my new acqnl-
sition, we sell lots of them. The gentlemen
from the rnraI districts took of his stockings
and his foot slipped in beautifully. he was
tickled and took the shoes, paid for them, ana
went out we'll pleased
Some day the smart salesman may prove
too smart for his employer

A Premonition.
n EIGNIUIKI bIUAs
From the leisure Hour.

From the leisure Hour
Mr. Notcutt was highly respectable Indt-
pendent minister at Ipswich, the ancestor of q
succession of minigters of the same name, in
tho same town and church Before he was
married, the lady to whom he was engaged
dreamed that she was, while going over =
house which was unknown to heI-and in a
little room, sort of linen closet which shs
had never seen-selzed with violent bleeding
from the nose, and all attempts to stop it were
quite unavaihng Shortly before her mar
rage, the happy young girl was going over her
future home with Mr. Notcutt; she began to
recognize the house, and at last coming upon
a closet such az we have described, she OK
claimed: 'fWhy, this is the very closet where
l was in my dream when my nose began to
bIeedr
They were married; years passed along; she
becams mother and grandmother. Exactly
forty years passed away, but the dream was
not forgotten One day, while in the very
closet experimenting the putting away Of
some linen, her nose began to bleed, and con
tinued to do so without intermission. All eff
forts were, as in the dream quite unava1lln8,
and the old lady succombed to the hemorrhage
and SO death visited the manse.

GIadstone's mind is reported to be
giving way under the severe mental
strain to which he has lately been sub
iected. He has fallen INTO the habit,
II is said, of visiting second hand book
stores and purchasing sham antiquities,
and his eccentricities led him so far
quite recently that he purchased 100
hats in a single day. His physical col
lapse has been predicted for some time
by prominent medical practitioners,
and to prevent such an unfortunate end
ing Of his great career his most inti-
mate friends have advised him to resign,
but he stolidly refuses and proposes to
die in the harness if the Commons will
permit him.

Mr. Carlisle, the speaker of the ma
tional House of Representatives made
An address at the close Of the session in
which ne urged that a general law
sho"h e enacted which would author
..te Executive Departments and the
courts ofjustice to hear and determine,
under rules that would amply protect
the Government, large part of the To-
cal and private matters that now engage
the attention o. Congress. Mr.. Carlisle
said farther that From the organiza-
ton Of the Government to the close of
the Twenty-ifth Congress-a period of
fifty years-there were introduced into
the House, as shown BY the records, s.
TIT bills, while during the present con
gress there have been introduced s, $50,
almost as rlany as during that half cen
fury. At present each one of our gen.
eraI appropriation bills embrace as
much money as the whole amount of
the net ordinary expenditures of the
government during the first nine or ten
years of its existence, and the specific
objects to be investigated and provided
for in those bills have so greatly in
creased that it has become very con-
siderable task even to enumerate them. !"

a CURIOUS HEAD.
The Result of Using the Prescription of a
Witch

"The account headed Natures Eccen-
tricities' in last Tuesdays Telegram, u
says gentleman, writing from Middle
burg, Schoharie county, N. Y, "of the
boy in Morrison, ILL.,, on whose arm
goose feathers grew, has been read with
a great deal of interest by several ofm
neighbors. | think however, that we
have a freak of nature near this town
which is even still more remarkable.
Let any one go up to Polly Hollow, a
little settlement among the mountains,
about four miles east of Middleburg
and ask for Mrs. Jane Flagg. She is a
widow about forty-fve years old and
lives in tumbled-down shanty near the
edge of the woods, on the upper side of
the narrow valley Eight years ago
she was attacked by peculiar disease of
the scalp. At first her head was cover
ed with small ulcers, while almost all
her hair fell out, and would not grow
again The disease gave her such tor
ment that life for over 4 year was only
burden Finally she went to an herb
doctress, an old mulatto woman, who
then lived two miles further up the
mountain road, but who died since that
time. The old bag, who bore the repu-
tation of being a witch, told her to
gather certain herbs from a graveyard
at midnight, boil them, and then mix the
dec0cton with the blood and macerated
skin of freshly-killed rattie-snake,

All the neighbors maryeled greatly at

1t is telegraphed from Washington
that there will be again little or no debt
reduction for the month, and the ex-
PLANTATION is not entirely ingenious. We
are told it is by reason of large pay

off in government receipts rather than
special and extraordinary disbursements
that accounts for the small balance
from month to month in favor of the
Treasury The government is feeling
the prevailing dulness in trade which
afflicts business men generally. If peo-
pie buy less imported goods, there is,
of course, falling off in customs, and
if they economic in luxuries of home
production, the effect appears in small
er returns to the internal revenue

ment is IN print in England, and both
the Old and New Testament will be is
sued Immediately after Easter. The
book is to be published in various sizes,
on the same day, and the sale is certain
to be enormous. A London letter says
it Is clear that the revised version of the
New Testament has made way. 1t IS
used in many schools. 1t Is used in
most families Seldom does one of the
younger clergy give text from the
pulpit but he tells what is the render
ing of the Revised Version. Some of
the moro advanced clergy use the Re
vjsed Version always in the pulpit. But
this Is not the case in the United States.
The revised edition may be foundin the
hands Of any clergyman and in public
and private libraries. but Is totally I'M
known TO the great masses. Even those
processing Christianity, and are Chris
tan workers in Sunday schools. etc.
know no more of the revised scriptures
than of the Koran.
