Harrison and Blaine.

Gen. Harrison's task OF cabinet.
building has been difficult one. II Is
not too much 10 say that none Of his
predecessors had a harder problem 10
solve. The whole trouble conferred in
the Office OF secretary OF state. and Il
arose from the circumstances OF Gen.
Harrison's nomination and the peculiar
position Of Mr.. Blaine in the party.
A majority of delegates to the Chicago
convention were personally attached
to Mr.. Blaine, but most Of them saw
that his nomination was not advisable.
They preferred Gen Harrison TO any
one else who was avowedly n candi-
date. Thus, while II can not be said
that he was under any special obliga-
ton 10 Mr.. Blaine or '.the Blaine ele.
ment," he has naturally felt that the
sentiment represented in the cOnven-
ton should be recognized. Mr. Blaine's
services in the campnign tended TO
stimulate this feeling. These circum.
stances are important, and II Is un.
necessary and would be proitless 10
inquire whether or not, under differ
ent conditions, Gen. Harrison would
have chosen Mr.. Blaine 10 be his chief
cabinet officer.
The place held by Mr.. Blaine az
republican leader is extraordinary for
points OF strength and its points
Of weakness. lie has formidable
personal following and an array
OF enemies always on the aggressive.
He is much talked about, and there
fore q constant cause Of more or less
irritation. 1t may as we'll be plainly
said that this can not be pleasant for
Gen Harrison; but so long as Mr..
Blaine has HIS entire confidence and II
the administration is not embarrassed
by these contentious, he will probably
have no reason to regret his choice Of
a secretary OF state.
Undoubtedly Gen. Harrison will be
president in all that the word implies.
He is man with purpose, a man Of
pronounced individuality and positive
character. The cabinet will be swayed
by President Harrison, not Harrison by
the cabinet. II differences shall arise
between the president and secretary OF
state-and they are not improbable
we venture to predict that Harrison
will not hesitate TO make IL known that
he is at the head Of the executive
branch OF the government, and not the
follower OF any member OF the cabinet.

One of the prettiest combinations in
the jewelers. art is the opal surrounded
with diamonds. The foolish prejudice
and dark superstitions are rapidly dy-
ing out, and the value of the gem,
which has reached low-water mark
during its Punishment. has increased
nearly thirty per cent. During the
last two years the trade and demand in
the gem have increased at a. rapid
pace, and ten times as many opals are
imported now as during the preceding
decade.
Fifteen years ago the popularity Of
the stone began to wane, until scarcely
one was to be seen at fashionable
gathering. Many ladies who were
above being swayed by superstitious
fancies admitted they held indefnable
preiudices against the fiery, cleaning
combination. 1t is the jewel of oc-
tober, and all born in that month may
safely stihe all fears they may enter
tain regarging it, and wear the opal
with impunity.

CURING A spRAlNgn ANKLE.
A Trainers Success In the Case OF
John L. Sullivan.

During the present season, when the

the New York Tribune, just what to
do with an injury OF this kind has fire.
quently bothered the best physicians
and surgeons. That humorous individ-
ual, John Smith, comes forward and
says that such an injury is only trivial
and that the victim can be on his feet
again in twenty-four hours, with the
ankle free from pain, strain, or SWELL
ing. The person was baptized John
Smith, but is called "Happy Jack"
He is trainer of athletes and has
piloted many pedestrians to victory in
the walking matches at Madison
Square garden during the past few
years. Pedestrians vie with each 9TH

New ENGLAND PenurY.

Shakespeare makes Hamlet say:
thrift, thrift, Horatiol the funeral baked
meats
Did coldly furnish forth the marriage
table"
But good New England woman did
a "thriftiern thing than that says a
writer in Wide Awake. Her mother
had long sickness and finally died of
inaammatory rheumatism, leaving
several half used bottles of midicine,
which became source of great con-
Germ to the daughter, for 1T ought not
to be wasted, she said. She offered
to sell 1t at discount to neighbor,
but finding it left on her hands She
took it all herself for sore throat,
colds, gastric trouble and whatever
ailment she happened to have.
The same woman once told two visit
ors whom she had invited to tea that
she had been in good deal trouble
that day to calculate just how many
biscuits TO make for the meal. She al
ways knew about her own family; she
''allowed one apiece. and an ezra one
in case OF being extra hungry" but
where two new persons were concern
ed whose appctites and habits were an
unknown quantity. she was in such a
state Of mind that she was s.fairly up
sot;" and at the table she watched
with keen eyes to see what was to bs
the fate of the one extra biscuit
which was all she could bring herself
to provide beyond the regular extra
OF the family.
A certain New England family win
never forget their inward amusement
at the remark OF a ''near" woman (as
penurious aud close calculation are
phrased), who had come to see them in
the beginning OF her annual round of
visiting to save her board;" she re-
marked at the dinner table that the
food '.tasted good, for she had been
keeping herself 'short' in expectation
of shutting up her house.
She had been brought up in such
small, narrow way that she "could tell
to pin" every article she had with
her. When little girl she had been
sent from home to school, and boarded
with her aunt Esther, having for a
room-mate girl named Hannah. At
the close of the tcn-wecks' term, when
getting her things together, she went
to her relative with these words:
"Aunt Esther. wouldn't do such
thing as to say that Hannah would
steal, but when / came here / had
seven needles and four rows Of pins.
Now, aunt Esther. five pins are gone
and there is one Of the needles which
can't find. Hannah must have taken
themrp
Once, when she was going away for
two or three days, she offered neigh
Dor the mornings tea grounds TO steep
over, and, to save it, pumpkin pie
which she was afraid wouldn't keep
till she got home. But she returned
sooner thar she expected, ana went
over and said If the pie had not been
eaten she would take it back.
