HIS LIFE FULL OF SURPRISES.
And every day since then Mr..
Blaine's Bar Harbor life has been full
OF just such surprises. II he expected
to take stroll on the beach, he went
to drive; II he planned TO be alone, the
house was filled with company; II he

mona Blaine and the baby came In and

it was too late 10 think OF an; thing OF
the kind. ALI OF this has been 90 ad-
roitly and deity carried out by that
arch plotter, Mrs. James G. Blaine,
weeks in discovering the imposition.
When Mr.. Blaine was sufficiently
strong to quit New York he insisted on
returning to Washington, and when he
learned that this could not be without
giving offense to his family he settled
upon Augusta as the place for rest. To
this Mrs. Blaine assented, and Mrs.
Damrosch was sent on to get the house
in order. Meanwhile, James G.. Blaine,
jr., had been posted of to Bar Harbor,
and never before in its 'history did

pleased to accompany the party, Now,
Mr.. Blaine and Eugene Hale are old
friends from ever since the ante-bellum
days, and when they get together some
talking has to be done. Owing TO this
fact the o'clock "Flying Yankee for
Maine was missed, and as the 1890
train was slow they concluded to wait
for the o'clock sleeper" President
Frank Jones Of the Boston & Maine
road rendered his private Car for the
trip, and away they went for Augusta,
of course. BY the time the train
reached Portland Mr.. Blaine, who had
been up since early morning, was weary
and concluded to take little nap, leav-
ing orders for the porter to call him
when Gardiner was reached 30 he could
be ready to get of at Augusta. He
slept clear through to Bangor and then
concluded to go on to Ellsworth and
take breakfast with Mr.. Hale. The
above story is given on the authority OF
one OF the Maine Central railroad hands
who was on the train at the time.
NOT ALLOWED TO THINK OF STATE
AFFAIRS.
1t has been just this way ever since.
Mr.. Blaine has rot been allowed mo-
ment in which to think or brood over
his official duties. All predict that Mr..
Blaine is good for many years of life yet,
and that he will 60 back to his duties in
Washington in October.
