Blaine's Great Speech at New York ON

Saturday Night.
New YORK, September 30th-Fifty thou
sand people Were present at the Republican
demonstration at the Polo Grounds last
night. Scores of uniformed clubs paraded
with banners and torches Blalne's ap-
pearance on the platform was the signal for
mighty outburst OF cheers, which lasted
several minutes. AT the time he made his
appearance Governor Foraker was in the
midst of one of his characteristic speeches.
He was about answering some of the Mills
bill argu..lsnts when he was interrupted By
Blaine arrival.
A scene of indiscribable confusion fol-
loved. Cannons were fired, rockets burst
IN the air, the band struck up '' Hail to the
Chief, and deafening cheers rent the air.

The Parson Answered.

carson Green was one of the School
Committee in the town of Briarfield.
and one of his hobbies related TO the
study of geography. He contended that
very little time should be spent over
foreign countries, but that each pupil
should leave a common school with a
clear and accurate knowledge of his own
States resources and Topography. Not
only was he devoted to this theory, but
he lost no opportunity os promulgat-
ing il.
Visiting school" one day, with a coll
league who ventured TO differ with him
on this point, the minister undertook
to illustrate his views by practical ex-
ample. Selecting particularly bright
little girl in the geography class which
had been reciting about Africa, he said
TO her:
what do you know about the source
of the Nile?'
The little maiden thereupon gave a
vivid account of explorations and hard
ships, at which her teacher smiled APP
provingly.
"Do you know where Liberia is 2"
She answered promptly and cor
rectly.
"Can you tell anything about the
ancient city OF Alexandria?'
1t proved that she could tell q great
deal, and when she had distinguished
herself in the eyes of her classmates,
by enlarging upon ii, the minister sud-
denly changed his tactics.
"What town in your State manufac-
lures most cloth ?" he asked.
The child hung her head. She did
not know.
"How many mountains are there over
5000 feet high?"
She had apparently never been told.
The minister looked triumphantly at
his friend.
"Now, you see, he went on, "this child
doesn't even know enough about her
own State to utilize its advantages
when she grows up. Tell me, my little
girl, if you wanted to go from your
home to New York, what line of rail
road you would take, and what bodies
of water you would cross"
81 don't know, sir" sorrowfully said
the child.
"Then you sec yourself that you
don't know anything about your own
State" said he, determined TO drive the
question home. "Well, If you wanted
to take such journey what should
you do?"
The child was driven to the wall, and
like many a weaker creature, she turned
at bay. Her eyes were full of tears,
and her lip quivered, but she replied
bravely, II should just ask my papa to
take me TO the station and buy my
ticketp
She was questioned no more that
day.

And now to glance at the short history
Of the umbrella in Britain--short, be-
cause previous to the reign of Queen
Anne "a. ID. 1902 to 1714) il was luxury
practically undiscovered in those rainy
isles. s,,,
1t is recorded that Jonas Hanway,
born in 1712 (tho founder OF the Mag
dalen Hospital, noted philanthropist
and traveler), was the first man who had
the courage TO walk through Lordon
town in the rain carrying an umbrella for
his own use.
He had recently returned from Persia,
where he had acquired this luxurious
habit, and was, moreover, in delicate
health, which was considered somewhat
of fair excuse for this efIeminate
practice. AS umbrellas were already in
vogue in France, the London mob
pointed their jests by mockingly calling
him "a mincing Frenchman."
Hence it appears that the umbrella as
British institution is n mushroom Of
only one century's growth.
