Blaine's Defeat.

Mr.. Whitelaw Reid did not get the
English mission. 1t was the general i'm
preston that he expected to get it, and it
was understood that Mr.. Blaine promised
it to him. If this understanding was based
upon correct information Mr.. Blaine is not
having everything his own way in the state
department The nomination of Mr. Reid
for the French, instead of the English,
mission indicates that the President, and
not the Secretary of State, is selecting the
representatives to foreign countries.
1t is reported that Mr.. Blaine said, in a
half joking, half serious manner, the other
day, when he was asked for his assistance
by an applicant for an office, that he had
not much influence with this administra-
ton. The defeat of Mr.. Reid for the
English mission looks very much as if he
spoke the truth.
The Senate also struck Mr.. Blaine quite a
serious blow when it refused to confirm the
nomination of Mr.. Schuyler for Assistant
Secretary of State. There is no doubt that
Mr.. Blaine named him for the place. Al
though his nomination was not rejected
because Mr.. Blaine had him nominated,
there is no doubt that great many senators
were rather gratified than otherwise at the
chance to thwart Mr.. Blaine. The ostensi-
BILE reason for the rejection of M. Schuy-
ler's nomination was certain criticisms on
public men which he published in a book
on American Diplomacy Mr.. Schuyler
did not show himself to be a very good
diplomatist in publishing criticisms of that
sort if he expected to continue in politics.
Perhaps the administration has lost moth
ing in being deprived of Mr.. Schuyler's
services
The nominations for other offices in which
Mr.. Blaine is interested will be awaited
with a good deal of interest. If his friends
are not named for these offices it will be
understood that for the present at least,
the President, and not Mr.. Blaine, is run
ming this administration.

In No Hurry.
From the CHICAGO Tribune,


Overhead glittered the stars of cloudless
ingly on landscape wrapped in repose Not a
breath rutfled the leaves of the trees that lined
the avenue along which Bolivar Pyke and Bue-
navista McCorkle were vending their way slow
ly homeward from meeting of the Gyrogeo-
sophistical Society. Not a ripple stirred the
surface of the romantic frog pond on the left
IN whose bosom was mirrOred the glorious
armament, and not sound came from the
suburban farmhouse on the right, whose in
mates were sleeping the deep dreamless, re-
poseful sleep of deliverance that follows an
evening spent i'll reading one of Trollope s
novels.
Bolivar exclaimed the maiden, as some
thing by the roadside rejecting the pale radi-
ance Of the moonbeams caught her eye, what
is that on the ground?'
The young man stooped ard looked at it.
1t Is nothing but a snail, Buenavista,' he
said. The beauty of the night has tempted it
Forth. 1t Is a wonder" ne continued, dreamily
that all animate nature is not out for a moon
light stroll The night is too lovely TO be spent
indoors, even in the restful slumber that tired
nature exactS after a day of toll
The enjoyment of the wondrouS loveliness Of
the evening seemed too deep for words how
ever, and in silence the young people proceeded
slowly on their way, communing only in that
voiceleSS yet eloquent language that expresses
hand, or the softly breathed sigh that is felt
rather than heard. O, glorious season of youth
and hope when-but we digress.
Long had they walked on thus in ecstatic ST.
lence when the gentle girl again spoke.

ground another snail"
The young man stopped to inspect it. Rails
ing himself and slightly quickening his steps,
he said:

pointed TO his present position by John Quincy
Adams In 1925, and has drawn a salary from the
government for sixty three years. He is now
90 years of age, but hale and hearty.
w. j. DENNIS of Baltimore is in receipt Of the
following note from Private Secretary Halford:
I'm pressure of his duties am directed by the
President to thank you for the respect you evil

not bear to think of tho physical sensations that
may attend my death-the choking in TIE

but, that aside, / think OF death as though il

ever of dread of the hereafter"
You're HENRY BERGH, who has resigned the
presidency Of the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty TO Animals, is a slender, pale faced
young man and resembles his late uncle strik-
ing v, both in appearance and in manner OF
speaking. He went into the society twelve
years ago rs secretary, and when his uncle died
on Blizzard Monday of last year, the young
man was the practical head OF the institution
One can easily divine that his resignation must
have been a painful thing to him. The family
name of Henry Bergh has become one of the
inheritances Of the society and II could not
have been given up without struggle.

Two Railroad Projects.

| Two railroad projects are now before the
people of Savannah. One is of railroad
to Columbia, S. c., and the other to connect
with the Savannah, Americas and Mont
gomery railroad at McRae To insure the
building of the railroad to Columbia, S. c.,
from 100000 to SIS, 900 must he subscribed
to the stock of the road by Savannah Mr.
Herman Myers, who has just returned from
visit to the north where he had a consuta.
ton with capitalists about the enterprise,
says that if Savannah will subscribe the
amount named all the money necessary to
build the road within twelve months can be
obtained
To build the railroad TO McRae it is esti-
mated that 100000 will be required from
Savannah. President Hawkins, of the Sa-
vannah, Americas and Montg emery rail-
road, has been invited to visit this city to
consider the advisabllity of extending his
road to Savannah. OF course he will ac-
cept the invitation. AS he wants his road
extended to this city and as the people here
are anxious to have it, there ought to be
full and frank discussion of the matter be-
tween him and our leading business men.
Savannah now has the opportunity Of
getang two railroads which would be of
incalculable benefit to her. The amount of
money she will have to furnish to get them
is not large, and if subscribed it will not
only be we'll invested. so far as the subscrib-
ers are concerned, but it will insure her
greater prosperity than she has enjoyed in
any period of her history.

Gen. Longstreet is mentioned for diff
ferent Office nearly every day, among them
being several foreign missions, collector of
customs at Savannah, commissioner for the
Pacific railroads, and register of the treas
ury. The last named position is now held
by union veteran, Gen. Rosecrans. 1t
would probably excite some comment if
President Harrison should make an ex-
union soldier give way for an ex-confeder-
ate soldier But then Gen. Longstreet is a
republican, and that is sufficient TO cause
republicans to forgive him for having been
a confederate general.

The members Of the state legislature and
osAe-S who participated in the excursion to
FSr,asUl: LAST Wednesday 10 inspect the state
institutions heated there, enjoyed number of
amusing incidents while making the rounds of
TIE various schools, There were sights that
were SadGenias, also; but these were TO be ex-
pSected from the nature Of the institutions. At
leSst three Of the senators made comical errors
while the party were at the deaf and dumb in
stitute. While dinner was being served Senator
Hoard displayed his familiarity with the sign
language and convulsed with laughter those
who sat at the table with him The senator
wanted the salt. which was at the other end of
the table. One of the mattresses. a sedate look
ing young lady, stood near him He raised his
hands above the table and with elaborate mo-
tons he made her understand what ne wanted.
She brought him the salt, but there was a
roguish twinkle in her eyes as she put the con-
dlment down on his plate. He thanked her as
gracefully as possible in the sign language. but
was paralyzed an Instant later when she asked
in well-modulated voice:
Can help you TO the pepper, sir?''
1t leaked out later that the young lady was
one OF the most popular society bellies in Fari-
bault
