OFF FOR WASHING TON.

This afternoon at o'clock the special
car belonging to President RoBERTs,
of the Pennsylvania road, will pun out
from the indianapolis depot on a start
for Washington, with all the hopes Of
the Republican party on board. And
yet there are probably not dozen Re-
publicans in all the country who know
what Gen. HARRISON intends to do
when he gets to Washington, beyond
the fact that he will be inaugurated and
will attempt to carry out Republican
policy according to his own peculiar
ideas of what constitutes Republican
policy. 1t is marvellous how well the
president-elect has kept his own coun-
sci. There are some who commend this
wisdom Of silence, while there are
others who think that the chief magis-
trate of a republic ought to show more
disposition to take the people into his
confidence. This reserved dignity is all
well enough with kings and emperors,
who have the power to enforce what
ever policy they may outline for the
government, but it is different here,
where the people are rulers and the
head Of the government is merely
public servant. Still, Gen. HARRISON
is not so much to blame for his
reticence, because he is really occupy
ing humlating position before the
country, and the less he has to say the
better it is for him. IL he were free to
name his cabinet and to outline the pol
icy that he thinks his administration
should pursue, he would probably talk
with more freedom. As it is, he is hui
inflated by the consciousness that his
hands are tied and his lips sealed by the
leaders who secured his nomination for
him. He had previously promised Mr..
ELKINS that Mr. BLAINE should not
only be at the head of the cabinet, but
that the Maine man should have the
naming of a majority Of the presiden-
tial family. So it is possible that the
cabinet list will not be filled, and the
policy Of the administration will not be
defined until Gen. HARRISON gets to
Washington and has submitted his work
to MIR. BLAINE for revision.
1t is no wonder. then, that Gen. HAIR
RIsoN requested his home folks not to
make any demonstration to-day when
he takes his departure for the national
capital. He is leaving home with
heavy heart and mind filled with I'M
certainties as to what will please or dis
please Mr.. BLAINE He knows that
when he takes the oath of Office week
from tomorrow, it will have to be
with the mental reservation that the
functions Of his high Office will be per-
formed according to Mr.. BLA1NE's die
tation. He goes into the presidential
Office with about the same feeling that
the young Emperor WILLIAM assembled
the throne of Germany-with the con-
seriousness that there is a power behind
the throne stronger than he, and that
the premier is the most exacting mas
ter.
Kind people will assemble at the
stations along the route from Indianapo-
lis to Washington to offer their con-
CALCULATIONS to the president-elect. Yet
III his innermost soul Gen. HA RRIsoN
will feel that he needs their commiser-
alton more than their applause.

young people would have lived happily
together and that even now young
Blaine would return and lived with his
wife again if he had money to support
her. or ii his father would make him q
reasonable allowance.
s.In Augusta it is thought that Mr.
Blaine's refusal to Make more liberal
allowance for his son is an indication
that he is not as rich man as he is
popularity supposed to be. Young
Blaine's venture in going to the Water
vile Locomotive Works to learn the pro-
fesSiOn of practical engineer is looked
upon askance, both in Augusta and In
other localities where his past life is
known. The idea undoubtedly eman-
ated from Emmons Blaine, who is SUI
perintendent of a railroad in the West.
1t is not impossible that the elder
Blaine favored this project, having in
view the good effect it might have upon
the general public. Jimmy Blaine's
best friends give him about year to re-
main at the Waterville works, during
which time he is not likely to gain any
vast amount of knowledge of the pro-
fesSiOn.
"YOung Mrs. Blaine meantime is
earnestly prosecuting her dramatic
studies under the direction of Prof.
David BelascO. of the Lyceum theater,
and will not appear ON the stage until
some time next fall. 1t has not been de-
cided as yet as to what parts she will
essay. but she is known to favor the
higher class of comedy. Mrs. Blaine's
first appearance was at Washington in
the opera of Paul and Virginia. and
she has a very pleasant voice. but lacks
the physical strength for appearing in
opera.
ut will be remembered that Mrs.
Blaine first met her husband while
spending few wepks jim Augusta on a
visit TO her brother, who was employed
there. From the time Jimmy Blaine
first met her his attentions to her
were so marked that her sister, who was
with her, thought their visit to Augusta
had better be cut short, and prepare
tons were made TO return to New York.
But when the train left Augusta tho
young ladies found that Blaine was
passenger on the same train with
them, nor did he leave them until
they reached this city. The fol-
lowing night he took dinner with the
NeVins family at the New York hotel.
The next day the young couple got
married and went to Boston. Young
Blaine then returned to Augusta to
make his peace with his family, and
Mrs. Blaine returned to her father and
mother at the New York hotel.
"Mrs. Blaine's only child, James G..
Blaine ILL.,, is as fine a baby as one
would care to see, and his features al
ready suggest to the acute observer his
distinguished grandfather. The Blaine
family has offered to take the child and
support it, but young Mrs. Blaine de-
clares that she would rather beg from
door to. door than give up her child"

Cd Crow,

Several years ago we had a cat that
we all thought great deal of, but she
was little more reserved in the be.
stowal of her affections. She seemed
not to care for any one very much, ex.
cept for my eldest daughter and myself,
and IL man or boy came into the house
she would leave Immediately. The
summer that | speak of she had
three young kittens. When they
were about two weeks old was sitting
i'm the cook room one day, when l no.
ticed the cat coming in and thought
something was the matter with her, but
did not get up to see. She went and
laid down under the stove, but was un-
easy and kept moving and looking out
toward us. l forgot to mention that one
or two men were also in the house, but
pretty soon they went out, when she
went directly to her kittens, took one
and carried it to my daughter, who eX'
claimed:
what is the matter with pussy?"
Before had time to look she had
brought another to me, and as she laid
it down she looked at me and, making q
most pitiful noise, stretched out and
died, and we found upon looking that

had waited until the men left the room,
as if she was afraid of them, and then
had looked out for the welfare of her
offspring the best she knew how, by
bringing them to those she loved, and
the look on her face was as earnest an
appeal as human countenance could
have expressed.
One of the children had, year ago
this summer. at me crow which showed
a great deal of ShrewdneSS, or sense, or
reason. whichever you choose to call it.
They kept him out in the orchard near
an old lounge that was placed under the
trees, and there was just room enough
for his little body to get under it.
When they first had him out there the
hens would get nearly all the food, and
he, being afraid of them, would hop off
under the lounge and scold away at
them; but after day or two he would
begin just as soon as his food was
brought to him to carry it down under
the lounge.
He would not stop to eat mouthful

and then chuckle and chatter and seem
