Blaine Feels Aggrieved.
Ew YORK. November 25th.-The Bl

New YORK, November 25th.-The Blaine
Edmunds episode continues to be thepolit-
ical talk of the day, on account of the per-
sistence with which Frank Haitian and
others of the younger members of the
Arthur faction have persisted in parading
it, seeming to have an idea that it would
iniure Blaine Hon. Stephen Elkins, when
asked the reason Of Blaine's action, SAID he
did not know anything further than that
there had just come to Blaine's attention
letter written by Edmunds, in which he
explained his refusal to speak in the Blaine
campaign of 1884 on the ground that he
was inimical to Blaine, and, in fact, had
brought in question the character of Blaine.
1t has come out already, in the discussion
of the Blaine Edmunds episode, that dur
ing the recent canvass of Senator Edmunds
for reelection his friends appealed directly
to Blaine to restrain the Blaine men of
Vermont from attacking Edmunds, and
that Blaine counseled his friends to peace
and harmony. 1t is in view of this fact
that Blaine feels especially aggrieved over
the Edmunds letter. There is some talk
here over the failure OF Blaine and Logan
to meet, although both were under the
same roof of the Fifth Avenue Hotel.

The Postal Service.

WASHINGTON, November 25th.-Tbird
Assistant Postmaster erGeneral Hazen, in his
annual report to the Postmaster General,
refers TO the encouraging outlook for the
current year, and says that there is scarcely
a doubt that it will realize still greater i'm
provement in postal revenue. The labor
troubles were settlsi early in the year, and
fair degree of prosperity has attended the
business of the country during the past
few months, and all indications at the
present time look to its continuance if not
to still further improvement. None of the
sources of postal revenue have been injuri-
ously affected by the changes during the
present year. The reduction in the rate of
postage on second-class matter and the in
crease in the limited weight of first-class
matter, have been in effect since the 1st of
July, 1883, and accordingly the revenue
will not suffer from these sources. In COM
pairing the present with the past fiscal year,
the report says that additional revenue
may be expected from the extension of the
special delivery system, the admission of
liquids as mail matter, and the important
reduction in the price of stamped envelopes
under the contract recently entered into for
the next fiscal year, ending June so, 1888.
He estimates the deficiency in the revenue
to be supplied out of the general Treasury
as "a, 729, 1888. which is only 1924 014 more
than the amount charged to the Treasury
for the year ended June so 1884

Grants Doctors Bills.

NEW York. November 25th.-William

states that Dr.. Douglas has received Sl2,-
0O0 from the Grant estate, 81 ,000 being for
bills rendered, and 5000 being the special
sum the General asked Mrs Grant to pay
him out of the profits OF the memorials.
He said that these sums were not paid out
of the first check for profits on the Cen
erals book, because the demands upon her,
including pay ments to several persons who
had suffered by the failure of Grant &
Ward, were so great that the doctor could
not well be paid then, but in short time
after the proceeds of the second check were
received, Mrs. Grant sent the doctor the
full amount, although under no legal obi
cations to pay the 5000 requested by the
General. The attorney also says that Col
onel Grant has declined to receive SIC, 600,
which the General requested Mrs. Grant to
give him for his constant attendance and

father-in-law, who was very rich be-
fore the Chicago fire, lost most of his
property thereby, and for time had
difficulty in meeting his ordinary ex-
penses. Having, according to report
overdrawn his account So, 500 at one
of the banks, the cashier asked him,
toward the close of the year to make
it good. The ex-millionaire vowed he
could not 'give check on anybody"
Said the officer: "We want it mainly
for the benefit of the bookkeeper, so
that he can balance" "I'll draw on
the Gar of Russia, if you like" re-
marked Honore, "though, neither he
nor anybody else who is worth any
thing is indebted to me. "He1l DO;

The check was shown and happened
to go through the regular course of
collection. When it reached ST.

stamps, endorsements and seals, and
was finally presented to the emperor.
He declared that he had no recollec-
ton of FL. FL. Honore; but then, as he
was an American, he presumed it

would draw on julius Caesar.

A Rough Awakening.
[From the Savannah lGa.l News.

Mr.. Unger had a rough experience at
Ocklawaha, Fla, the other morning.
He had to stop at a private boarding
house and occupied theroom of one of a
number of mechanics. this one having
been mercifully called away. Next
morning early the boss mechanic set
about awaking his men. His method
was to haul the cover off them and
snatch them out on the floor bodily
by the heels. He entered Mr.. Unger's
room, supposing the brickmason oc-
cupied the bed. Jerking off the cover,
he grabbed Unger by the feet and
landed him sprawling on his back on
the floor before he was fairly awake.

His Wife Talks on the Train.
[Burdette in Brooklyn Eagle. I


Now, I'll tell you why wouldn't 60
into the restaurant and have a. cup
of coffee with you while we were wait
ing for the train. I didn't like the way
you asked me. Keep quiet have the
floor. Not half an hour before you
said to Mr.. Puffer, "Come, let's get a.
cigar" and away you went, holding
his arm, and not giving him a chance
to decline. When we met John
O'Howdy on our way to luncheon,
you said: "Just in time, John; come
take lunch with u.s." And then to-
night when we found the train nearly
an hour late, you looked at your
watch, turned to me and said, in a
questioning way: "Would you like a.
cup OF coffee?" And I did want it; I
was tired and little hungry, but
would have tainted before I accepted
such an invitation. And you went
away a. little bit vexed with me, and
had your coffee and bread and butter
by yoursel. and didn't enjoy it very
much. In effect, you said to me: eff
you want a cup Of coffee, if you really
want it, I will buy it for YOU" You
are the best husband in the world,
but you do as nearly all the best hus-
bands do. Why do you men seem to
dole things out to your wives when
you fairly throw them at the men you
know? Why don't you invite me
heartily as you do men? Why didn't
you say, "Come, let's get little coffee
and something" and take me right
along with you? You wouldn' It say to
a man, "Would you like me to go and
buy you cigar?" Then why do you
always issue your little invitations to
treats in that way to me? Indeed,
indeed, my dear husband, if men
would only act toward their wives as
heartily, cordially, frankly as they do
towards the men whom they meet,
they would find cheerier companions
at home than they could at the club.

The TyrOI Tear Handkerchief.

In some portions of Tyrol pecul.
lar and beautiful custom still prevails
When girl is about to be married be.
fore she leaves her home to GO to the
church, her mother hands her q ker.
chief, which is called tear kerchief
1t is made of newly-made linen, and
has never been used. It is with this
kerchief that she dries her tears when
she leaves her fathers house and while
she stands at the altar.
After the marriage is over, and the
bride has gone with her husband to
their own home, she folds up the kerr
chief and places it unwashed in her
linen closet, where it remains un-
touched. The tear kerchief has only
performed half of it's mission.
Children are born, grow up, marry,
and move away from the old home.
Each daughter receives from the moth
er new tear kerchief. Her own still
remains where it was placed in the lin
en- closet on the day OF the marriage.
Generations come and GO. The young
bride has become wrinkled old wom-
an. She may have survived her hus-
band and all her children. All her
friends may have died off, and still
that last present which she received
from her mother has not fulfilled it's
object. But it comes at last. At last
the weary eyelids close for the long,
long, sleep, and the tired wrinkled
hands are folded over. the pulseless
heart. Then the tear kerchief is taken
from it's place and spread over the
placid features of the dead, never to
be removed until we are summoned to
come forth on the resurrection morn.
