His Modest Acquirements.

One Of Mr.. Blaine's last interviews
with au office-huuting delegation be-
fore he left has afford ed him as much
amusement as any experience of that
kind ever did. The delegation was
from North Carolina and ws3 present
ing Col. Blank of that state for for
eign post of some kind. The visitors
were full Of praise of the colonel and
insisted that he was a most deserving
man and must have something good.
AS matter of fact the colonel was a
rough aud tough old mountaineer who
had never travelled and knew little
about public affairs. He had spent his
whole life at home and was q near
neighbor of the old Cherokee tribe of
Indians in that state. But he was am
bilious and wanted TO go abroad in an
official capacity.
Col. Blank. Of course. accompanied
his friends to the state department.
The party bore letters from several OF
Mr. Blaine's nearest friends. and on
that account met with cordial recep-
ton. There was secret fear felt.

would appear before tho secretary.

Col. Blank turned very red. hcsi-

This was too much even for the

said. Mrs. Reed. this is gold" My
mother replied that she wished it were

from the rocks. and he hunted in the
