Blaine will be a Candidate.

The Philadelphia Times published on
Saturday the following special. from
New York which it indorses as coming
from the most authentic source
New YORK, May Al have entirely
reliable information that the friends of
Mr.. Blaiae, within the last three days,
have received direct from him his as.
sent to an aggressive movement for his
denomination for President, and the
assurance that il nominated In the face
OF his Florence letter OF declination he
would not feel at liberty 10 decline.
A general and systematic effort has
been made by Blaine's closest friends,
such as Chairmf n Jones, William Wal
| ter Phelps, Whitelaw Ried, Charles
| Emery Smith, and others, for two
| months, and they have got Blaine into
the attitude of passive candidate.
The Washington conference, was only
| a part OF the varied methods by which
the influence had been brought to bear
upon Blaine. and the publication Of his
portrait, freshly taken from life in Italy
and issued by Judge this week, Was de-
cided Oh more than three months ago
as the starting point for the avowed
effort to make Blaine the candidate.
Every possible pressure has been put
upon Blaine to get from him the direct
assurance that he will not decline If
nomin sted, and that assurance has been
received in this city from Mr.. Blaine
! within the last three days. In q very
few days more it will cease to be q
secret that Mr.. Blaine is in the hands
of his friends as the Blaine leaders will
at once come to the front and make al
aggressive campaign for his re-nomina
tion. This movement has been pretty
clearly foreshadowed for some weeks
in such Blaine organs as the Tribune
: of this city, and the Philadelphia Press
!, and all sffectation about Blaine's candI-
|, dacy will now soon be thrown off and
the battle made an aggressive one.
: Part Of the original program was the
! election of Charles Emery Smith as {
r delegate-at-large from your State and
. the failure was a great disappointment
20 the Blaine juntO in this city, but Mr.
Smith gives the assurance that Blain,
: can command a majority OF the Penn
= sylvsnia delegation under any circum.
. stances. and that IL Blaine's nomIna
tion shall seem to be assured the delegs
tion will be solid for him. The unex
(; pected expressions in Massachusetts, ant
D Vermont for Blaine were not accidental
g nor are they unexpected to Blaine
friends. When all Of the anti-Blain
men were reposing on their arms be
cause they regarded Blame out CT tn
s fight, the friends of Blaine were mos
energetic in their work in the two anti
Blaine New EnglanC States and the
got possession OF Vermont and Massa
{; chusetts, while the oihers were sleepinI
= in fancied security. II was the expires
: sion OF three hitherto anti Blaine NeS
England States that made Blaine cas-
aside his doubts and assent to the i'm
portunities of his friends for his re
g nomination.
8 1t is now positive fact that Blain
is in the feid, that his friends have hi

WHILE the existence of an Empire
on the American Continent NAV be
considered as out of keeping with its
Democratic surroundings, yet is must
be admitted that Brazil approaches to
the character of a representative govern
ment. Emperor Dom Pedro has shown
himself TO be a ruler of intelligence and
liberal ideas, being rightly credited
with many administrative reforms.
Since 1S1l the gradual emancipation Of
the slave population has been going on !;
and in 1888 the final abolition of slavery
was announced in two OF the provinces
OF the Empire. In 1884 an emancipa-
tion bill passed its first reading In a
joint session of the Senate and Cham
Der OF Deputies, and was submitted to
committees for report. The opposition,
however, secured its defeat upon a
minor point. Iu 1885 bill was passed
providing for the gradual extinction Of
slavery, the character OF tie measure
being such that. because of the reduc-
tion IN the value of slaves, slavery
could not possibly last longer than
seventeen years. and, with the aid of
the Emancipation Fund, probably
would be extinguished in seven wears.
The BraZilian Government now pro-
poses to Introduce into the Legislature
Dill 10 put al absolute end to slavery
throughout the Empire. The purchases
or slaves by provinces under the laws.
coupled with the aid that the abolition
lists are giving to slaves who wish to
escape To emancipated districts, auguIs
well FOR the passage OF the measure.

THE purchases of bonds by the Secre.

THE purchases Of bonds by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury the last two weeks;
exercising the authority conferred by
recent resolutions of the Senate and
House, have amounted to $40, 500, 900,
of these S4 200, 900 were of the 4i's and
SC, 800, 900 of the As. There remain OF
these issues 1852, ,491, 800, mainly of the
longer series the Al per cents, matur-
ing in 1891, amounting only to $780,
354, $50. The extent 10 which holders
of government securities have availed
themselves OF the offer OF the depart
ment does not indicate any general
scarcity of money. The price paid FOR
the A. per cents. averaged a little more
than 107, and for the per cents. a little
more than 126. The saving to the gov
erument by these purchases, as COM
pared with the continuous payment OF
interest to maturity and the redemption
Of the bonds in due course, is g, SOC, ,04l;
this. also. although the actual premium,
paid by the treasury Oh its purchases il
more than $4,000

CoMPARITvELv very few OF the bills
introduced in Congress become laws.
In the Forty-seventh Congress, OF the
10, ,7O4 introduced but 772 were passed f;
in the Forty-eighth, but 966 out OF H.
AL became laws, and In the Forty
ninth only LAP Of the IL. .o02 that were
introduced were ground out into regular
enacted statues. It Is fortunate
for the country that so much OF this
mass OF incipient legislation fails in
getting on the statute books. The res-
son that Congress effects 80 little is that
its time is largely consumed in copsid-
ering matters that are brought in mere.
ly for buncombe.

THE latest thing to be coruered is
corn. 1t is said that the entire corn
crop is now in the hands OF a syndicate
that propose to regulate its price. 4
Chicago banker and two wealthy mer-
chants constitute the party, and they are
practically In control OF all the corn in
sight. The line of march as marked
out by the syndicate is to keep corn well
up to sixty cents for all of the month
up to the marketing OF the new crop,
and incidentally, of course, to make
money out of the transaction.

THE New Y York Times commenting on
the fact that all the Democratic State
Conventions have declared with great
unsnimity for the denomination OF
President Cleveland and that at the ST.
Louis Convention it is reasonably Ger.
tain that his will be the only name pre-
sented says:
AS a candidate the President will
have some obvious advantages In the
first place, it will be no small advan-
tage for party to go into a contest
with candidate who was from the
start It's unanimous choice. There will
be no division or III feeling arising from
the defeat OF preferences. There will
be no rivalrieS 10 overcome, no disap-
poiutmenst to be soOthed. y President
accumulated always has an advantage
over other candidates. II his record
has been so good and he has grown so
strong ia public confidence as to make
his denomination clearly advisable his
election is almost certain. Martin Van
Buren, is the only exc ption in the history
OF the country TO the rule, that when a
President has been re nominated he has
also been reelected. But If President
Is so strong ir the confidence which he
excttes that no portion OF his party in
any section OF the country thinks of
1avorin2 any other candidate the
chances in his favor are greatly in
creased. Aside from the personal as.
poets of the Case, there is always
strong sentiment against a change when
no tangible ground is presented for
making one and no precedent stands in
the way OF continuing \ satisfactory ad =
mlnistration. Moreover, however little
q President may make uss OF his Office
70 promote his sOwn reelection, the mere
fact that he holds the executigs power
Will influence many 10 his SUPPORT.
Even not TO have that power against
MIN 10 an advantage of no small account.
The probability OF the Presidents re-
election is, therefore, little less than
that of his re nomination, which already
amounts 20 a certainty.

IL has lately been discovered that a
job was snaked through the last legis-
lature which increases the emoluments
of the Register of Wills at Philadelphia,
from $1,000 to about 30,0O0 per anum
and there promises to be lively fight
in that city for the lucrative Office.
While Pennsylvania had a Democratic
governor who USED the veto power
freely, bills OF that kind did not become
laws but since Governor Beaver has
got into the executive chair they may
be expected to bob up serenely at most
any time. The law makes the Register
of Wills the agent Of the State for the
collection Of collateral inheritance tar
and allows him such percentage, not
exceeding 8 per cenrum, on all such tax
collected, as shall be allowed by the
Auditor General.

friends that when the Plumed knight

declining to be a presidential candidate,
he added postscript reading Burn

Why ? Because inferior American

smUN WORRY AND EXCITEMENT.

Regarding the preservation of youth and
vigor, we find the average of longevity
greater than fifty years ago. We find
some men and women decaying and grow
ing old much sooner than others. We find
one nan as fresh and vigorous at So or GO
as another may be at 50. There must be
causes for these differences in the preser-
yation of the body. And as there are
causes for such variations in the condition
of the body, may there not be other causes,
still unknown, which may tend to preserve
physical and mental vigor for 100 years, or
even longer.
Mental worry and disqulet, arising from
any cause, is the strongest agent in
''aging" men or women. 1t is an incessant
source of exhaustion to the vital forces.
You do so exhaust yourself when you
worry about your business, your family,
and about anything. 1t carves ines on
the face and beaches the hair. A peeyish
young woman at 90 will look old at 80,
because her peevish or worrying thought
represents so much of her force used to
tear her down instead of building her up.
You can have responsibilities without
worrying over them. You do not make
things a bit better through such worry.
You only make them worse. Worry does
not plan. 1t does not make a clear head.
1t does fume, fret, and cause indiges-
ton and old age. 1t effects your sleep at
night. 1t causes you either loss of sleep
or a poor rest when you do sleep. If you
carry your cares to bed with you and they
are son your mind when you fall into
slumber, they will stay on you mind all
night and cause you troubled dreams.
There is a healthful sleep coming of the
permanent, cheerful, composed, non-wor-
rying frame of mind, two hours of which
will give you ten times more rest, strength
and refreshment han the unhealthful sleep
coming of the mind which entertains care
and worry and makes them continual
guests.
We often use up our force faster than we
make it. We work through a whole days
exciting business, and are then at a thea
tire or some place of amusement until 10,
II, or twelve o'clock. SO long as the body
is awake there must be an outlay of force
to sustain it. There can be as much ex-
haustion in this search for excitement or
amusement as in work. We get force to
sustain the body in these ex-drafts upon it
in two ways-either through artificial ma
terial stimulant or artificial mental stimu-
liant. BY artificial mental stimulant is
meant the excitement caught and absorb
ed by crowds similarly influenced, and oc-
cupied as ourselves at night. 1t is not
healthful nor natural source of supply. II
will evidently, if relied upon, strain the
body and cage it" prematurely.
Mental stimulant and the mental intoxi-
cation coming from it is evidenced at
noisy, turbulent public meetings, where
thousands coming together, influenced by
partisan prejudices, likes and dislikes,
stamp and cheer, and cry themselves
hoarse,~ according as the sentiments express
ed are agreeable or the reverse to them.
1t is the stimulus produced by great num-
bers of minds acting upon each other. 1t
is exhausting, and every one of the partici-
pants feels the reaction within a few hours.

DAMS WIFE.


Up in the early morning light,
Sweeping, busting, "setting right
Oiling all the household springs,
Sewing buttons, tying strings,
Telling Bridget what to do.
Mending rips in Johnny's shoe,
Running up and down the stair,
Tying baby in his chair,
Cutting meat inc spreading bread,
Dishing out so much per head,
Eating as she can, by chance,
Giving husband kindly glance,
Toiling, working, busy life,
"Smart woman,
Dams wife.
Dan comes home at fall of night,
Home so cheerful, neat and bright,
Children meet him at the door,
Pull him In and look him DER,
Wife asks chow the work has gomez"
"Busy times with us at home"
supper done, Dan reads at ease
Happy Dan, but one to please.
Children must be put to bed
All theirlittle prayers are said;
Little shoes are placed in rows,
Bedclothes tucked DER little toes,
Busy, noisy wearing life,
Tired woman.
Dams wife.
Dan reads on, and falls asleep
See the woman softly creep;
Baby rests at last-poor dear.
Not a word her heart to cheeii
Mending basket full to top
Stockings, shirts, and little frock-
Tired eyes and weary brain,
sid with darling, ugly pain
"Never mind, twill pass away
She must work and never play:
Closed piano, unused books,
Done the walks to cosy hooks,
Brightness faded out of life,
Saddened woman.
Dams wife.
Upstairs, tossing to and fro,
Fever holds the woman low;
Children, wander, free to play,
When and where they Will to-day,
Bridget loiters-dinner's cold,
Dan looks anxious, cross and old;
Household screws are out of place,
Lacking n dear, patient face;
Steady hands, so weak, but rue
Hands that knew just what to do,
Never knowing rest or play,
Folded now-and laid away;
Work of six, in one short life,
Shattered woman,
Dams wife.
