BIaine's Bile.

WASHINGTON, D.. c., Nov. "a
Political circles have been all agog
over the Blaine-Edmunds
episode of yesterday, occurring at
the obsequies of the late President
Arthur. A gentleman who attended
the funeral, and who is familiar with
what occurred, states to your cor
respondent that not only did Mr..
Blaine turn his back upon Senator
Edmunds when the latter rendered
his recognition and hand, but he did
so in the most arrogant and insult
ing manner. This occurred in the
library of the late Arthur mansion,
after which Mr.. Blaine left the room,
and meeting Hon. VIM. E. Chandler,
his former friend and political lieu
tenant, detailed to him the circum-
stance and asked if he had not treat
ed Senator Edmunds as he deserved.
Mr.. Chandler, to his credit, replied:
BLAINE REBUKED.
"Mr. Blaine, what you did was
anything but correct. You had no
right to bring partisan malice into
the death chamber of a mutual
friend" This SO rasped Mr.. Blame
that without ceremony he left the
building, and taking a carriage pro.
ceeded alone to the Grand Central
depot and awaited the arrival of the
funeral cortege. This matter has
created a very bitter feeling here
against MIR. Blaine and many of his
hitherto avowed friends openly con
denim his action as at best impolitl
and wholly indefensible.
A NAIL IN HIS PRESIDENTIAL COFFIN.
Anti-Blaine Republicans say tina
Mr.. Blaine by this action, and unde
circumstances of the most peculia,
nature, demonstrated to the countr,
his british and revengeful temper
which can not fail of driving hom'
the last nail into the coffin of hi
presidential ambitions. While the,
concede that the feeling between MI
Edmunds and Mr.. Blaine is bitter
the fact that Mr.. Edmunds exhibi
ted a willingness to affiliate with MI
Blaine on an occasion of natlona
mourning which Mr.. Blaine angril
rejected turns public sympathy to
ward MI. Edmunds greatly to Nj
Blaine's prejudice.

A ''lady millincr' has como to the
front with an open letter Of mingled
defense and accusation on the bird
question. She quite cmphatically de-
MES that ..womcn are forced BY mil
liners to wear birds in their b0nncts, =
rs one Of them has asserted, and II
every woman simply said. Il will not
wear them," both the guilty millincrs
and dealers would soon be saved from
the crime Of which they are accused.
She also expresses herself as perfectly
willing to put flowers on any bonnet
instead OF feathers. and quite cham
pions the world that pretty DO met
can be made Of nothing but velvet.
In this she is quite right. There is no
prettier bonnet for many women than
one thus made. 1t softens coarse
features. improves q complexion, and
brings out by the soft, dull background
beauties otherwise latent. While
myself am still so little of humani-
tartan that fail to see the difference
between using one animals skin to
make dancing slippers or kid gloves,
another's horns to make combs and
buttons, anOther's tusks to make bill
lard balls and poker chips, aud q
birds feather to make lovely woman
lovelier / still have artistic instinct
enough left to know that there are
many women who would look better
without them on their bonnets than
they do with them on. If you LOOK
better with m ostrich feather on your
hat than in anything else, you have
my sanction. fair sister. 10 wear it.

A Qaeer Banquet.

The well-known Hungarian duelist.
M. PENNY, has just celebrated at the
town of Pesth his thirty-fifth duel BY
. unique banquet. Only those were
invited who could prove that they had
fought in six duels. The O'Gorman
Mahon, who had fought twenty-five
duels, was the only qualified Britisher.
Many heroes of note were present,
some with faces covered with
scars, others minus an ear. and others
again without an eye or two or three
fingers missing. The least presentable
OF all the guests was French gentle
man who had lost his nose in q combat
with NJ. Andrassy. The six. duels'
qualification was strictly adhered to,
except in one instance, that Of lady
who had actually killed her man
whether by the fire Of her eyes or by
her pistol was not stated. This 0rna.
ment Of the fair sex was unanimously
elected president Of the banquet. which
the wits Of Pesth termed lie banquet

A sad man on summer day
Did look upon the earth and say
Purple cloud and hilltop binding;
Folded hills, the valleys wind In;
Valleys, with fresh streams among you
Streams, with basky trees along you;
Trees, with many birds and blossoms;
Blossoms, dropping dews that wreath you
To your fellow-doWers beneath you;
Flowers, that consolidate on earth;
Earth, that shakest to the mirth
or the merry Titan ocean,
All his shining hair In notion
Why am thus the only one
Who can be dark beneath the suni"
But when the summer day was past,
He looked to heaven, and smiled 1t last,
Self-answered so,-

Pressing with thy crumpled shroud
Heavily on mountain top;
Hills, that almost seem TO drop,
Striker with misty death,
To the valleys underneath;
Valleys, signing with the torrent;
Waters, strcaked with branches horrent
Branches trees, that shake your head
Wildly DER your blossoms spread
Where the common flowers are found;
Flowers, with fOreheads To the ground

With his iron smiteth thee,-

Mr.. Morrill's lsirt n day.

A Senator Morrill, celebrated his
18th birthday April 10th, at his
Washington house, correspondent
says he received his guests at the door
Of the large drawing-room. with Mrs.
Morrill, by his side. Many words that
must have warmed his heart were said
to him. Nearly every member Of the
Senate and many prominent Con-
gressmen were present. The cabinet
was represented BY Mr.. Villas and Mr..
Endicott. The diplomatic corps were
not lacking in courtesy. Gen. Schenck
made his first public appearance since
his long and serious illness. Senator
Morrill's youthful colleague, Mr.. Ed
munds, looked quite clipper with his
eighteen years of ..juniority." Mr.. Nor
rill had completed his academic edu-
cation before young Edmunds was
born. 1t was pretty thought, and l
couldn't help lingering over it.

William Bair. who for eight years
was the driver and constant attendant
Of Maud s.. is reported As saying: Il
would not work under Mr.. Bonner
again for anything he could offer me.
He takes all my time, demands too
much, and there is not enough money
in it. SO far ~ Maud s. is concerned,
no one in the world thinks as much Of
her as do, but | wouldn't take con-
troll Of her again IS long as Mr.. Bonner
owns her. II he brought her into the
gate this minute and offered to turn
her over to me / wouldn't take her.
Mr.. Bonner has said that her quarters
under my management we're irregular
and that once allowed her to trot the
first quarter in 3Os seconds POI
gait. That is not true. She never
trotted the first quarter in 203 seconds
in her life. Solar rs that is concerned,
Mr.. Bonner could not regulate her

never made bad performance while
under my control.
lone thing is sure, and that is that
as long as Mr.. Bonner has his peculiar
notions about shooting the mare, it will
be difficult matter for her to beat her
record. When had her at Belmont,
and he called three times day, she
would have to be reshod on every visit.
have seen her hoofs shaved down
until the blood came. They we're
never given IN opportunity to grow,
and in trotting on 3 hard track it was
often painful for her to throw her
weight on her feet. Il Mr.. Bonner
will leave the shooting and condition Of
the mare to Mr.. Murphy alone there is
no question in my mind about her beat
ing her record. But that he won't do.
sMaud s. is today the greatest trot-
ting horse in the world, and ! doubt If
the horse has been born yet that can
beat her. She could have made more
money for her owner than any horse
that ever lived, but she has always
been in bad hands for money-making.
None Of her owners would ever allow
her to make any money. All the time
she under my charge she never made q
mistake and never broke. She would
try Just as hard to win q race as any
man would. Now she will be taken to
Mr.. Bonner's private track, where she
will be worked on the sneak, and II she
don't do better you will never hear Of
Maud s. again.
