Visit of Hon. james q. Blaine to Washing.
ton and jefferson College with His Ven-
cradle Uncle. Hon John ii. EwiDg-Re-
miniscences of Brgone Days. fTt-A-- J
WASHINGTON, Pa, Oct. 2t.-At the as
scmbling Of the students OF Washington
and Jefferson college This morning, Hon.
James G. Blaine was present by invita-
ton Of The trustees ana faculty. He was
accompanied nv his uncle, y -. John ii.
Ewing, now ninety years o. a-e. In his
address of welcome, President Mofftt
referr d 10 the latter as the oldest living
graduate and 10 Mr.. Blaine as the most
distinguished. Mr. Blaine was invited
to give some "reminiscences OF his college
life.
In his response he thanked President
Moffat for his allusion to Mr. Ewing, the
speakers venerable and respected kins-
man, but he took exceptions to the over
Characteristic of himself. Continuing,
he said: 81 remember too well when ]
was a student in these halls, the long
list Of men, older graduates, whom had
The honor 10 look up to and at whose feet
[ was proud to Sit"
The cordial reception he had received
had moved him deeply, ana the TecOliec-
tions which rushed upon him as he stood
there almost stopped his power OF
speech. He always regarded the college
ss h is great benefactor and protector,
the agency which had given 10 him
through life the Influences which have at
all times been of inestimablc service to
him. During his college DAYS, from l843
10 l847, the great artery of travel was the
National road connecting the East and the
West. This gave the students frequent
opportunity 10 see and hear many OF the
eminent public men of that era. Mr..
Clay, Mr.. Benton, Richard NJ. Johnson
and John J. CIittenden were not un-
familiar names presented for the admira
tion of their youthful minds. He referred
with pleasure to their old college
societies and suggested to the
students If they had not
already done it, TO more accurately con-
form their proceedings to the accepted
canons OF parliamentary laws. After re-
lerring feeIinglv to the faculty of his col
lege days, Mr. Blaine said in closing: II
hope you will profit by all the advantages
you enjoy here to-day, and hope that
lhirty-nine years after your graduation
you may look back 10 our alma mater
with the affection and gratitude which
this morning feel.' Vfs5-fa Ea..E

Arrival of La Bretagne at New York-M.
BarthoidPs First View of His Great Work
Natures Unveiling-A Visit to Bedloe's
Island-To Receive the Freedom of the
City.
NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-The La Bretagne
started up the bay early yesterday morn
ing. All eyes on board were strained to
make out the colossal statue through the
thick fog At eight O'clock the flagship
Tennessee, off Bedoe's island, fired a
National salute. AS the smoke rolled
away the statue was dimly seen, and
there were many t1ngracious remarks
about the climate exchanged in the
French tongue Bartholdi had been
nervous for two or three days as to
how the statue would look ON it's
pedestal and there it was looming
up like mighty spectre. The ves-
sci drew near the island amid regrets
on every tongue, when suddenly south
wind rolled aside the leaden clouds and
a food of sunlight illuminated the face Of
the statue, making its outlines vividly
distinct against the dark background OF
land and fog. Tti. was Liberty unveiled
by nature and the passengers cheered
again and again in delighted surprise. M.
Bartholdis face flushed, and he
was almost 4speechless with emo
tion. Subsequently he said that in
every previous work OF his there
had always been some little disappoint-
ment in the erection, but In this instance
he had nothing but pleasure and salts

CHEERFUL HOMES.
Retreats Garnished with Grace and Sweet
ened with Love and Smiles

Retreats Garnished with Grace and Sweet
ened with Love and Smiles
A single bitter word may disquiet ali
entire family for whole day. One
surly glance casts a gloom over the
household, while smile, like CLEAN
of sunshine, may light up the darkest
and weariest hours. Like unexpected
flowers which spring up along our path
full of freshness, fragrance and beauty,
so the kind words and gentle acts, and
sweet dispositions make glad the home
where peace and blessing dwell. No
matter how humble the abode, if it be
thus garnished with grace and sweetened
with kindness and smiles, the heart will
turn longingly toward it from all the
tumults of the world; and home, if it be
ever SO homely, will he the dearest spot
under the circuit of the sun.
And the influence of home perpetuate
themselves. The gentle grace of the
mother lives in her daughters long after
her head is pillowed in the dust of death,
and fatherly kindness finds its echo in
the nobility and courtesy of sons who
come to wear his mantel and to fill his
place; while, on the other hand, from
an unhappy, misgoverned and disor-
dered home 60 forth persons who shall
make other homes miserable, and per-
petuate the sourness and sadness, the
contentious, the strifes, the ratings,
which have made their own early lives
so wretched and distorted.
Toward the cheerful home the children
gather las clouds, and as doves to their
windows" while from the home which
is the abode of discomfort and strife and
trouble, they fly forth as vultures to
rend their prey.-FdrmerS Home.
