'.Speaking of his liking to look at work men," says an old friend of Washington Irving, streminds me of another good story which he used to tell with great enjoy ment-no one can tell his stories as he used to- One day when he was building the extension to Sunny y-side, as he strolled about watching the carpenters, he happen ed 10 pick up an apple that had been blown from a tree. The next moment he felt his sleeve pulled, and, turning, saw ragged little urchin-one of half dozen who had come in to pick up the chips left by the workmen-looking up into his face.
 Say, mister,' says the little chap, just you come with me and I'll show you where to get some good apples; but mind you don't give it away to the old man meaning MT. Irving himself
 "'Well, Mir. Irving used to say, telling the story, the little scamp brought me to the very best tree in my orchard and there fill of my very best apples. We got on only case ever heard of where a man par chard. :"
 l. The story of the severe illness of MT. Blaine while in Florence, which was pub- lished by the New York World, and which has been commented upon by the press of | the country, is confirmed in some particu. lars by MT. Jones of Pittsburg, who was chairman of the republican national com mittee in 1884. MT. Jones says that Mir | Blaine told him prior to his going to Flu. rope that he would not permit his name to go before the convention as a candidate. His arduous labors in writing his ''Twenty Years in Congress" had overtaxed his strength, and his energies were exhausted. He had been recommended to take a sea voyage, and to remain away for long time in order that he might have other thoughts to engross his time and attention. He was sick 1n Europe, very sick, but that he was in the condition represented in The New York World letter, MT. Jones does not believe. He did not think it advisable that the pnblic should be informed of his true condition. Now that he is fully re stored to health it can do no harm to say SO. MT. Jones thinks that in the future when history is made up, MT. Blame will be remembered as statesman and writer, rathef than politician. In this, the best friends of Wr. Blaine cordially agree
 Whether he will ever come before the pub lie as presidential candidate again or not is matter that events alone can decide.
