Young Mrs. Blaine's Troubles.
SHE Is BETTER IN HEALTH, BUT REcoNCILIATIo
SEEMS HOPELESS.

SEEMS HOPELESS
The New York Herald to-day says: Mrs. James
G. Blaine, ir.'s, physicians announced last
evening that their patient had passed the crisis
and all the chances are now in favor Of her re-
covery. She will not be allowed to see any one,
however, for several days yet, as the most abb
solute quiet Is imperative. Mrs. Blaine, SRI
presence in the city, which it was at first
thought was for the purpose Of effecting re-
Cancellation between the two young people,
now seems in fair way to accomplish Just the
opposite result. 1t was learned that Mr.. Blaine
was in favor Of approaching his daughter-in-
law to bring about a reunion, but Mrs. Blaine,
seconded by Walker Blaine, opposed the idea
so strongly that Mr.. Blaine desisted on account
of family considerations. A number of stormy
family conferences are known to have taken
place, though, before the Maine statesman
reached this conclusion. II is not improbable
that he may resume the position of mediator
upon his return from Connecticut tomorrow
morning.
Col. Robert G. Ingersoll, who is one Of the
advisers Of Mrs. Blaine, said to me yesterday
that so far as he knew no efforts to effect a re-
Cancellation had been made by any member of
the Blaine family. Gen. Mcmahon, another Of
Mrs. Blaine's advisers, is in Washington, and no
action in the matter of bringing the damage
suit against Mr.. Blaine for alienation of affec-
tions will be taken until after the generals re-
turn, even if Mrs. Blaine, IT,, should recover
sufficiently to sign the necessary papers.

HEROES AND HERoINEs.-We have OBJ
served with admiration the heroic conduct
of the physicians of Jacksonville, and those
who have gone there, during the ravages OF
the yellow fever. They have been faithful
in the performance of their duties to the
sufferers, and have stood their ground, re-.
pardless of danger, ready to obey every call
for their services. In this respect, and in
every other, they have been true to the re-
sponsbilities of their profession and to the
Hippocratic oath. Their conduct has net
been exceptional among the people OF Jacg-
sonyille. The hospital nurses and private
nurses have stuck t. their posts, at which
not few of them have fallen. Oilers are
deserving of equal commendatiOn, as 10
known to everybody who has read the dis.
patches from Jacksonville. 1t told that al
most every landlord 10 Jacksonville had re-
fused to collect rents from the poor since
the outbreak o. the plague. I1 told OF the
little news carrier, Willis Travis, who,
though all HE mates have sickened and
MANY died, trudges over hia route and who.
when warned Of his danger answered, III
60 until my own tine comes" Ii told OF
the intrepid milkmGii, %aa, against the en-
treaties OF his family. kept, up his visits to
infected houses uutii he fell martyr to duty.
saving, "The pa;iants mu-t have their milk"
1t told of the action ofthe Free Mascns, who,
in their grateful address 20 The Mlsouic fra.
ternity, give notice to sop contributions to
their fund, as it is ALREADY sufficient to re
lieve the brethren in a: the infected districts
of Florida. Truly, the people OF Jackson
Vile have had long and terrible period OF
trials, but it is comfort &c know that amid
them all there have bsra SO many noble dis.
plays of manhood and womanhood.-N. T..

THE GOOSE POND OF GOSSIP OF our
famous essayists says We are apt to won
der at the scholarship Of the men OF three
centuries ago, and at certain dignity OF
phrase that charact erizss them. They were
scholars because they dii not read SO many
things as we. They had fewer books, but
these were OF the best. Their speech was
noble, because they iunched with Plutarch
and supped with Plato Wespend as much
time over print SIS they did, but instead of
unconsciously acquiring the grand manner
of supreme society, we diligently cover this
continent with q net work of speaking wires
to inform us of such inspiring facts as that
horse belonging to Mr.. Smith ran away on
Wednesday seriously damaging valuable
carryal that son OF Mr. Brown swallow
ed hickory nut on Thursday and that
gravel bank cavsd 10 and buried Mr.. Robin
son alive on Friday. Alas, it is we ourselves
that are getting buried alive under this ava
lanche of earthly imperinenoes 1t is we
who. while sc might each in his humble
way he helping cur fellows into the right
path. or adding QUO block TO the climbing
spire Of fine soul, are willing to become
mere sponges saturated from the stagnant

BLAINE OR BUST.
The Maine Men VIII Force Him IntO the
Cabinet,

The Maine Men VIII Force Him IHto the
Cabinet,
WASHINGTON, December 23.-The re-
pert that Blaine would accept the French
mission and allow General Harrison to
cffsr Sherman the position OF secretary OF
state is rel, ,adiated by the Maine members
here with great vigor. Both Senator Hale
aud Congressman Boutslle assert tlat-iojt-
ed that Mr.. Blaine would not accept o
foreign mission, and it is to be remem-
bered that these two gentlemen are fore
mott in the effort to boost Blaine into the
cabinet, whether Harrison wants him to
20 or not. That there il q determined
purpose to keep Blaine cut OF tie cabinet
or the part of good many United States
senators is too evident to be contradicted.
Edmunds is responsible for = good deal OF
it, snd while it is simply his O.d hatred Of
B'aine, in course of revival, he puts his OBJ
iectioas on the ground that if Blaine was
Secretary of State the Rspublicln Senate
would be in the unpleasant prediCament
OF sither indorSing al the jiDgO enterprises
that Blaine set on foot, or else appear In
an attitude Of hostility TO the adminlstra-
tiOn.
That the opposition to Blaine means bus
iLess can be gathered from the fact that
both Senators Manderson, of Nebraska,
and Stewart, of Nevada, will avail them
selves of the Opportunity offered by the
holiday recess and will 20 to IrdisnaPolis
fot the sole purpose OF protesting against
Blsine's appointment. Edmunds would
probably join the pilgrimage, but he
despises Harrison, and the President-elect
reciprocates the feelings Of the hoary Sen
atOr from Vermont.

THE ADAMS DISASTER
THB NUMBER OF LIVES LOST NAY REACH
SIXTY.
CaptainlChuck's Story Of The Horrible Afalr-A
List Of the Lost as Near as
Obtainabls-DstailS Of
the Burning.

MEMPHIS, TENN, December 81 There
is nothing of 8 startling nature to report
this morning concerning the disaster TO
the Kate Adams, beyond what was men
toned in last nights dispatches. William
Donchue, one of the clerks, came up that
forenoon from the wreck. He was in the
yswl with Clerk George Cortett, when it
capsized and the last saw OF his colleague
he WAS floating down the river clingiug to
a small ladder. DOnOhue managed to
catch on 10 bale of cotton and was swept
out into the current and was
rescued some six miles below Commerce
by some negroes, on the Arkansas side Of
the river. He says COrbett msy possibly
have boon rescued further down the river.
The !o,s is not yet definitely known, snd
the prospects are that the exact number
wto we're drowned will never be accurate
ly stated. Thirty.five is the most con-
seryative estimate Out Of q city OF l5O
white laborers which boarded the steamer
below Friars Point, opls two are said to
have b en- saved. If this be true, and
there are no means of substantistinG
the fact, the loss of lives may reach
sixty, as many negroes who were on the
lower deck, lOst their lives in attempting
10 swim sshore from the stern of the burn
ing steamer. The boat and her cargo were
vslued at $145 900.
The Kate Adams had the record of the
fastest time between Helena and Memphis
in the spring of 1888. She made the luu
in five hours and seventeen minutes. She
wss the steamer that conveyed President
Cleveland and wife from West Memphis to
this city, on the occasion of his visit to
