BLAINE is FOR THE TICKET.
His FeaIty and Devotion to His Party IL
Beyond the Shadow of Doubt.

His FeaIty and Devotion to His Party Ia
Beyond the Shadow of Doubt.
There is certainly one eminent Re-
publican besides Benjamin Harrison
who shows desire without reservation
or qualification by personal feeling for
the success of the Republican cause
this fall We refer manifestly to the
Hon. James Gillespie Blaine, late
member Of President Harrison's cabinet.
and always while he lives the chief in
spiration Of Republican partisanship.
Nothing could have been more sincere,
nothing more telling politically, for ex-
ample, than his card published upon
hearing the result of the Minneapolis
convention:
1.-The resolution, energy and persist
ence which marked the proceedings at
Minneapolis will, if turned upon the
common foe, win the election in No
vember. All minor differences should
be merged in the duty of every Repub-
lican to do all in his power to elect the
ticket this day nominated by the Re
publican national convention"
Mr.. Blaine has displayed the same
aggressive loyalty in the case of his
successor in the state department, and
that, too, when rumors were muttering
that he was also gentleman against
whom there might have been reason for
hard feeling. Mr.. Blaine's letter TO the
Hon. John w. Foster is conceived in
the same spirit of Republican energy
and devotion as the Harrison deliver
snce:
BAR HARBoR, July 6.
my DEAR Mr.. FOSTER ought SOON
er to have written you a word of con-
graduation on your appointment as
secretary of state, which most heartily
do now. ! am very glad you are APP
pointed. You will be able to do better
service than any man new to the de-
partment. Very truly and cordially
your friend, JAMES q. BLAINE"

THE LETTER THAT NEVER CAME.
Adlai Looks in Vain for Recognition
from the Ticket"

hGc0Enifinn
from the Ticket
Mr.. Harrison was prompt to send con-
gratulations to Mr.. Reid after the lat
ter's nomination for vice president. Mr.
Cleveland has not yet shown any felici-
tation on account of Mr.. Stevenson
being on the ticket with him. This is
probably due to the fact that Mr.. C;eve-
land regards himself as too large and
important parsonage to descend to the
mere civilities of life.
From his standpoint it is not necessary
that he should acknowledge the pres
ence of any one on the ticket save him
self. He is the ticket; its north, south.
east and west; its Alpha and Omega; its
head, tail and meridian; its brains.
boots and breeches.
This being the case, there is no reason
why he should unbend from his awful
dignity to send any word of welcome or
generalization to Adlai. The relative
positions of these two men is faithfully
described in | Chronicles:
"And over the herds that fed in Sharon
was Shitrai the Sharonite, and over the
herds that were in the valley was Sha-
PLAT. the son of Adlai."
Adlai the Shaphat is down in the val
ley of humiliation, while the Sharonite
heads the ticket and is also the idol be-
fore whom all others are expected to
bow down and worship. The pages of
sacred and profane history furnish no
instance of areal idol on wheels sending
a letter of congratulation.- Philadelphia

nneer Modes OF Burial.

According to the Philadelphia Press,
Che Mohammedans always, whether IN
their own country or in one OF adoption,
bury without coffin or casket of any
kind. During the time of the old Roman
empire the dead bodies of all except
suicides were burned. The Greeks some
times buried their dead in the ground,
but more generally cremated them in
imitation of the Romans. In India, up
till within the last few years, the wife,
either according to her wishes or other
wise, was cremated on the same funeral
pyre that converted her dead husbands
remains into ashes. When child dies
in Greenland the natives bury a live dog
VT it, the dog to be used By the child
as a guide to the other world. When
questioned in regard to this peculiar
superstition they will only answer: "a
dog can find his way anywhere. The
natives of Australia tie the hands OF their
dead together and pull out their nails.
This is for fear that the corpse may
scratch its way out of the grave and be-
come vampire. The primitive Russians

A Wonderfully Dramatic Scene.

Benjamin Brewster, afterwards attor-
rey-general of the United States, was
soAe years ago the central figure in
wonderfully dramatic scene in a Phila-
deiphia court. Mr.. Brewster's face, it
will be remembered, was frightfuliy
SCARED by an accident in his youth. He
was extremely sensitive cf his facial mis-
fortune, but never referred to it himself
nor did any of his thousands of friends
ever ask him its cause. The trial referred
to was bitterly contested affair, and
Brewster at every point got SO much the
best Of the opposing counsel that his
leading adversary was in white heat.
In denouncing the railroad company this
lawyer with his voice tremulous with
anger, exclaimed, "This grasping cor
poration is as dark, devious and scarri-
fed in its methods as is the face of its
chief attorney and henchman, Benjamin
Brewster!" This violent outburst of rage
and cruel invective was followed by
breathless stiffness in the crowded court
room that was painful. Hundreds of
pitying eyes were riveted on the poor
SCARED face of Brewster, expecting to see
him spring from his chair and catch his
heartless adversary by the throat. Mr..
Brewster slowly arose and spoke some
thing like this to the court: "Your
honor, in all my career as lawyer I have
never dealt in personalities; nor did I
ever feel called upon to explain the cause
of my physical misfortune, but I will do
so now. When boy-and my mother,
God bless her! said was pretty boy
when little boy, while playing around
an open fire one day with little sister
just beginning to toddle, she fell into the
roaring flames. rushed to her rescue,
pulled her out before she was seriously
hurt, and fell into the fire myself. When
they took me out of the Goals my face
was as black as that mans heart" The
last sentence was spoken in a voice whose
rage was that of lion. It had an elec-
trical effect, and the applause that greeted
it was superb, but in an instant turned to
the most comtemptuous Kisses directed at
the lawyer who had so basely insulted
Mr.. Brewster. That lawyers practice in
Philadelphia afterward dwindled to such
insignifcance that he had to leave the
city for new field. d.-Boston Transcript.

and making it yield in an astonishing
manner. The two remaining ranches
left were mortgaged to the American
Cunningham, and when he handed them
back they would willingly let him man.
age them, having the greatest respect for
his hard American sense.
Meanwhile, Amata sobbed and starved.
Her lover serenaded her the first mid
night, but went to Los Angeles the next
day and forgot to return for several.
For three days the spirited Californian
was obdurate; then her delicate, luxur-
ious stomach began to cry out for the
dainties to which it was accustomed. AS
the pangs grew sharper she became pos
itively terrified, never having felt physi
cal suffering before, and not knowing
what awful end it portended. She
begged pitifully for cerne con ajo, at
least for just one enchilada, solitary
dulce, but her father was equally obdur-
ate, and she had no mother TO plead for
her. She was also horrified to observe
that she was growing less pretty. Her
cheeks were hollow, her eyes had great
black stains beneath them and stared
pathetically from her colorless face.
ssGod of my soul!" she thought, ~ shall
be an old bag at twenty"
On the fifth day she succumbed. A
week later she was married. The next
day Mr.. Cunningham foreclosed the

Fad All the Sensations.

A man named John Harnshaw per-
formed Throughout England under the
high sounding title of Monsieur Gouffe,
giving practical exhibitions of hanging
from the gallows. In this performance
he relied for security on the strength of
the muscles of his throat and neck alone.
He had rope with fixed knot, and
always passed both ends of the loop up
behind one ear. The whole act was so
adroitly managed that he prevented any
pressure of the rope upon the windpipe
or the jugular vein. He could even sus-
tain weight OF 120 pounds in addition
to that of his own body.
On three separate occasions Harnshaw
mismanaged the rope and soon became
unconscious, but was luckily rescued
each time. DIR. Chowne, who wrote the
account, very truly says: sit cannot be
doubted that as far as sensation and
consciousness are concerned, Harnshaw
passed through the whole ordeal Of death
by hanging, and had he been permitted
to remain hanging until actually dead he
would have passed out of existence with
out further knowledge of his misery. p

The woolsack is large square bag of
wool, covered with red cloth, and having
neither legs nor arms. In England, in
the reign of Queen Elizabeth, an act of
Parliament was passed to prevent the ex-
portation of wool; and that this source
of National wealth might be kept con-
stantly in mind woolsacks, on which the
judges sat. were placed in the House of
