the crowd in the corridors below have seen
him they would have been amazed, and his
actions would have dispelled any suspi-
cions regarding his state of health.
A young lady, a member of the family
party, who was quite a pianist, was in his
private parlor, and Mr.. Blaine, having
given orders to admit no one excepting
members of his family, tripped across the
parlor floor with the exuberance of boy,

lady gently actually waltzed or danced
with an impromptu step with her to the

Blaine was very fond. The young woman
played it over. and he clapped and shout
ed, "Encorel encore" and she had to play
it again. Then she took up the other mel
odies of that opera, and SO for an hour she
delighted this wonderful man with these
simple little songs.
He snatched up an evening paper, after
the impromptu concert was ended, and,
turning to the amusement announcements,

floor, shouted "Hurrah," and said, '"They
are going to sing The Mascotte' at the
theater this evening, and we'll go, all
hands," And two or three hours later Mr..
Blaine and his party were in box at the
theater, he being concealed by the curtains,
and his delight was as great as that of a
child with the performance. Yet the next
morning the papers announced that Mr..
Blaine had been holding secret political
conference somewhere in the city that
evening. He had not seen politician all
that day or evening.
Mr. Blaine is very fond of the theater,
and his tendency is toward high comedy,
although he does not disdain a genuine
rollicking farce He was great admirer
of John T. Raymond's representation Of
Colonel Mulberry Sellers and never failed
to see and hear it when it was possible to
do so. Joe Jefferson as Bob Acres always
had charm for him, but he did not care
so much for Jefferson's Rip Van Wrinkle
Mr.. Blaine's family, or some members oft,
say that there have been times in his life
when he almost wished that he had made
the stage his profession. Of course such
desire was never seriously entertained by
him, but he has always felt that if chance
had brought him to the stage he would
have made great reputation as an actor.
One time while speaking of this he said
in joke, Some of my would be friends as
sert that am acting all the time, and if
could do so well with the world for my
stage, why shouldn't do well in the play
house2"
Mr.. Blaine is no great admirer of athletic
sports, and he has been amazed that some
of our public men have confessed to a
weakness for reading accounts of great
prize fights. He likes to drive, but cares
nothing for racing or for a speedy horse.
But there was one sport, which for time
was a phenomenal craze in New York,
which attracted his attention. He was in
the city at the time of one of the earlier
six day walking matches, when New York
city-even it's most staid professional men
became fevered with that frenzy.
Mr.. Blaine's curiosity was excited, and
having some leisure moments he strolled
across Madison square and entered the
building where this curious display was
going on, expecting to stay but few mo-
ments. He stood in dark, obscure corner
of the building and watched young Rowell
and O'Leary, the American champion, and
the other haggard walkers and runners as
he supposed for about half an hour. But
on looking at his watch he found that he
had been there nearly three hours, and had
missed an important appointment at the
hotel. He never could explain what the
fascination was which held him rooted to
