Rla,na on the Message.

Mr. BLAINE refused at first to say any
thing about the Presidents message. 1t
had no doubt knocked the breath out OF
him. Having recovered from the effects
of the shock, he made last Saturday at
Lewiston, Me-, a speech in which ne
said;
"why should the railways Of the
United States that annually transport
fifty millions OF Canadian goods in trans
it be deprived Of their business and en-
dure large loss on account of a sudden
within OF the PRESIDENT Why should
the transit from Detroit to Buffalo and
New York over both American and Cana
dian lines of rail be suspended when 1t
has no relations whatever to the fishery
question ? Why should the large traffic
between Quebec and Montreal on the
one hand and Portland on the other, by
which Portland becomes the winter port
OF Canada, be summarily stopped at the
caprice OF the President because OF his
ehagrin over the course OF an indepen-
dent but, as be considers, refractory
Senate II is The design Of the Presi-
dent to make the fish question odious by
embarrassing commercial relations and
commercial exchange along 1900 miles
OF frontier, and 10 infiict upon American
communities needless. a vexatious. and
perlous confusion OF trade Z"
In the first place, il is not the "rail-
roads Of the United States" but few
Yankee railroads that are concerned.
Three fourths Of the people OF the whole
country viii never feel the effects Of re-
taliation. But what does Mr. BLAIsE
mean when be charges the President
with q crime for doing what all the Re-
publican Senators and papers had been
declaring II was his duty to do?
In the second place. the President
could not 60 into the business Of retslia-
ton whilst treaty intended to settle the
whole difficulty was pending in the SEN
ate. Did anybody in the world ever hear
OF s6ch diplomacy Is that? Bat the
Senate rejected the treaty because II
yielded too much to Great Britain Of
least they pretended that that was the

"LosT IN FOG. The Washington
correspondent of the Alexandria Gazette
reports Democratic senator as having
SAID that the debate on the message had
completely counteracted any bad effect
the bloody-shirt debate that was in pro-
gress in the Senate when the message
was received might have had in the
North. This debate, he said, was de-
hberate attempt on the part Of the Re-
publicans to make party capital, but the
message had so discomposed them that
they had forgotten all about their plan
and allowed it to be defeated
Just our understanding Of the matter.
The election is now only ten weeks off.

standard. Let FORAKER and CHANDLER

When the Department of Agriculture

strangers. because, In the language OF
Colonel Frank hufiin in 1851, "we are
such strangers to each other that Lou
doun and Fauquier, in an agricultural
point of view, are as remote from Char
lotte and Halifax as from Western New
York or Northern Mississippi" Among
other things we placed in the window a
large block of iron pyrites with a jar
of the crushed mineral on top,
shining in the sun, sustaining its
colonial name "fool's gold" Every day
inquiries by the dozen we're made as TO
what it was, where il came from, what
was its use, and what its value. This
has been the case with various ores. L

and resolution, offered by Rev. II. c..
Hovey, ID. D., Of Bridgeport, Conn,
and seconded by Bishop p. +. Stevens,
of Charleston, S. g., was unanimously
adopted by rising vote, in which the
whole congregation joined with the
members of the convention:
Whereas q rumor reaches us Of move

ResoiUed, AS the sense Of this conven-
ton of the members of the United States
Christian Commission, Sanitary Commits
sion. and army chaplains from both
North and South, including some who
were themselves imprisoned in that edi-
fee, that we hereby express our earnest
disapproval of its proposed removal as "A
violation OF the verities and prophecies
of history, and also as an action that we
fear might serve to perpetuate bitterness
which we would gladly see allayed in the
name OF national peace and harmony.

Lord castIereagh's Ghost.
Biographv.

0HS6A"Puy
Lord Castlereagh, when command
ing in early life a militia regiment in
Ireland, was stationed one night in
a large, desolate country house; and
his bed was at one end of a long,
dilapidated room, while at the other
extremity a great fire of wood and
turf had been prepared within a huge,
gaping, old-fashioned chimney. Wax
ing in the middle of the night, he lay
watching from his pillow the gradual
darkness of the embers of the hearth,
when suddenly they blazed up and
a. naked child stepped from among
them on the floor. The figure ad-
vanced slowly toward Lord Cas-
~tlereagh, rising in stature at every
step, until, on coming within two or
three PAGES of his bed, it had assum-
ed the appearance of g. CHASTITY giant.
pale as death, with q bleeding wound
on the brow, and eyes glaring with
rage and despair. Lord Castlereagh
leaped from his bed and confronted
the figure in an attitude OF defiance.
It retreated before him, diminishing
in size as it withdrew in the same
manner that it had previously shot
up and expanded. He followed it
pace by pace until the original child
like form disappeared among the
embers. He then went back to his
bed and was disturbed no more. The
story, Lord Castlereagh told with
perfect gravity at n OF his wife''s
supper parties in Paris in 1845,
when Scott was among the hearers.

The Trouble With the Pass.

One of Depew's Stories.
A man called here claiming to be an
old comrade. l noticed the moment I
entered the room that he was pretty
we'll soaked in benzine. "Comrade,"
he said, with an eloquent wave of the
hand, "some ofus meet with success in
life, fortune smiles on them and they
prosper. Others are not go fortunate.
They meet with reverses, fail in busl-
ness and have to struggle to make both
ends meet. Sometimes they don't
succeed in doing that. Now, you
have been successful. We are glad of
it. comrade. But" he continued
"comrade, there is a silver lining to
every cloud" This was said in a very
high key. II have been offered a place
in Poughkeepsie, where 1 can earn
enough to take care of my wife and
babies, but I have no money, com.
rade, to pay my fare there" I hap
pened to have a pass in my pocket
l very rarely carry them with me-
and signed it and handed it to him.
He gazed at it blankly for a moment
and then blurted out: "Comrade,
did it ever occur to you that a pass is
not negotlable?"
