WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, October II, 1891
Does Mr.. Blaine intend to resume
the duties of Secretary of State? This
is question easier asked than an
wered. If anybody in Washington,
from Mr.. Harrison down, knows
anything of the real intentions of Mr..
Blaine the knowledge is so well kept
that it has not leaked out, and it is
extremely improbable that any such
knowledge exists. Guesses have
not been plenty, but facts have not
been behind them. First Mr.. Blaine
was to return in September, then in
October, and now the guessers say
that he will be here in. November. A
personal friend of Mr.. Blaine's, who
is not in politics, said yesterday in
guarded sort of a way, which was
taken to imply a great DEAL 81
have an idea that after the State
elections are over Mr.. Blaine may
decide to retire from the Cabinet and
60 to Southern California or Mexico
for the Winter" Although this
gentleman denied having any
authority from Mr.. Blaine for ex-
pressing such an idea, it is neverthe-
less believed by those who know the
relations between the two men that
he would never have said such a
thing unless he knew that some such
step was contemplated. Mr.. Harrison
is thought to be entirely in the dark
as to Mr.. Blaine's future movements
indeed it is stated here that he says
that he has had no direct communi
cation from Mr.. Blaine for months
1t is truly an odd sort of situa-
ton.
If promises were equal 10 gooC
deeds Secretary Foster would Ions
ago have been the possessor of 1
white robe and "A golden harp. HI
has always been good promiser
| therefore it was not surprising tina
he should have agreed with TIT
New York Merchants as to the eXis
tence of evils in the administration
of business of the New York Gus
tom House, and promised to correc
all. This promise he relies upon t
make some votes for Fassett, ant
after the election he can keep
or not, just as he may feel disposed
Having done that much for Fassett
he will now proceed to Ohio to SCI
what promises will do there for Nc

like EPSON salts. Tobacco was in
vented by man named Walter
Raleigh, whose head was cut off.
When the people first saw him smoke
they thought he was steamboat,
and was frightened. My sister
Nancy is girl. There is a fellow
that comes to see her named Leroy.
He was standin' on the steps one
night and had a cigar in his hand
and said, Il don't know whether
you like smoke or not And she
said, Leroy, the perfume is agree
able But when my big brother
Tom lighted his pipe she said: Get
out of the house you horrid creature;
the smell of your tobacco makes me

Not Equality, but true Superiority over

Mercury enters into the composition Of
many blood medicines, while with others
iodide of potash is the principal ingre-

the severity of the ravages of blood

The story is told of the late "Pig,

young woman, the daughter of an
old Pennsylvania who had been one
of Kelly's political lieutenants, app
piled to him for position, which h
promised to secure for her the next
day. On the following morning,
when the young woman called on the
judge, he had forgotten all about her
case, but upon being reminded,
apologized profusely, and told her to
"call tomorrow" The judge kept
this up for nearly a month, when
the young woman lost her patience.
On the occasion OF her last visit, thee
judge, who was very absent minded,
did not catch her name as the SER
want announced her presence in the
parlor, and, walking hurriedly into
the room, shook hands with her and
began the old formula. "My dear
young lady,I am very busy today;you
will really have to call tomorrow"
"But judge" she protested, "that is
what you have told me for month.

you have invariably told me to call

suavity. "Call day after tomorrow"

IL has been observed that sisters
who quarrel, and have the least re-

yariably those who have been brought

each others rights. True, in the
most harmonious families, one sister
may frequently trespass upon the
rights OF another, from thoughtless-
ness. For instance, II one Is very
fond OF reading, and desires to give
the greater part OF her leisure time to
il, another may keep interrupting her
by conversation. or by appeals for
help in some lesson or work. that
might better be dispensed with under
the circumstances. This alone often
leads to unkind thoughts and I'M
pleasant words.
Sisters should help each other TO
spend and enjoy their well.earned
leisure as each wishes, always pro
yided that this will be in correct
manner. A little more practice OF the
