The Removal of Robert Blaine.

The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Journal, commenting on the re-
moval of Mr. Robert Blaine from his
place in the agricultural department
says:
"Robert Blaine is the only surviving
brother of the late James q. Blaine. He
has been for twelve years in the service
of the agricultural department. For a
number of years he has been chief of
the division of quarantine in cases of
diseased cattle. He has been an efficient
officer His efficiency was attested to
by the fact that he was kept in office by
President Cleveland for four years, the
late Justice Lamar having also made a
special request for his retention. But
Justice Lamar is dead. James G.. Blaine
is in his grave, and his brother, who was
retained in Office by Mr.. Cleveland when
James G. Blaine was living, must now,
after so many years of service for the
government, when he is an old man, and
his protector is dead, be discharged with
ten days notice.
Judge Gresham never liked Secretary
James G. Blaine, and so the rule of the
administration that efficient officers shall
be retained until their four years term
shall expire is violated in order to dis
charge the two faithful, efficient private
secretaries of the late secretary of state,
and an experienced officer of the gov
eminent, because, apparently, they were
the friends of James G.. Blaine. Tom
Sherman was Mr.. Blaine's private secre-
tary for twenty-five years"

How Senators Raised Money fora Church
Convention.

The Washington Star tells this story of
the way money is sometimes raised:
The one hundred and fifth general as
sembly of the Presbyterian Church will
meet in Washington in May Last Sun
day DIR. w. A. Bartlett of the New York
Avenue Church asked for subscriptions
to help meet the expenses of the assem-
bly,. He didn't get much money, and ac-
cordingly went to the Senate day OF
two following to ask Senator Mcmillan
for donation The senator gave him
$500, and then asked if he were acquaint-
ed with Senator Brice of Ohio. The
doctor wasn't, and Brice was sent for.
When he came Mcmillan said: II have
sent for you for the reason that you
have not only the reputation of being a
liberal patron of the arts and sciences,
but of educational and religions institu-
lions and objects as well. The one hun
dred and fifth general assembly of the
Presbyterian Church meets here in May,
and that means there will be over a
thousand commissioners in attendance

have made small subscription my
self and thought you would be willing to
duplicate it,
Certainly said Senator Brice. 81
will give the same. What was your sub
scription?'
s'Five hundred dollars, believe. Was
it not, doctor?"
sThat is correct" said DR.. Bartlett.
Senator Brice gave quick look at
Senator Mcmillan, who smiled serenely
in return Senator Brice thereupon
went through his pockets and succeeded
in fishing out about $4,000 in ''pin
money! as he termed it, and was about
to hand Dr. Bartlett $500 bill, when he
smilingly remarked to Senator McMil-
Ian:
Don't you think we had better make
this thousand each?''
"All right was the reply, ''but it
strikes me now that you have raised the
subscription that $500 cash would be
the proper figure"
NO. replied Senator Brice, handing
DR.. Bartlett the $500 bill. "Under the
circumstances don't think it would be
proper to CALI you. There are good
many Ohio people here just now without
return tickets, and the walking is rather
bad at present.

The Good Templars and the Kelley Cure

The Good Templars and the Kelley Cure,
To the Editor of the Press:
I wish to say that so much of the re-
port of the proceedings of the Grand
Lodge, 1. o. G. T. as refers to the report
of the committee on Kelley cure is not
accurate. The Grand Lodge did not
adopt the report as published, but re-
ferred it back and adopted it in an
amended form to endorse the cures for
narcotic habit generally, but not to spe-
cialize the Kelley cure. The report pub
lished is exactly the one that the Grand
Lodge voted not to adopt. The Grand
Lodge expressed its appreciation of mar
cotic cures, but not of the Kelley cure
over others. Yours truly.

Byron's Joke ON His Publisher.

Byron once sent his friend John Muir
ray a present Of Bible; it was placed
in the bookshelf and left there for years
untouched, till at a dinner party, the
verifcation of text being required, the
Bible was referred to. Apage had been
turned down, and it was found that in
the verse, Snow, Barrabas was rob-
ber," the word publisher" had been sub
stituted. The poor little pleasantly had
lain hidden all those long years!

turned blue, and suffered no one knows
how much. Had tried everything that
had been recon mended, without any
benefit Had no faith in medicine, but
at last was persuaded to try bottle of
KNG's SARsAPARILLA, from which I
derived great benefit. / am row on my

Each housetop scream with gee,
Let bonfires grand, on every hand
Light up the jubilee.

In crimson paint the town,
Your anvils shoot, your whistles toot,
Your brass band march around.
Go yell until your Threats are sore,
Go smoke and drink your fill.
Shout loud and long, then shout some more,
And will foot the bill.
And would you know why all this blow,
This loud and noisy whirl?
Why I'm the glad and happy dad
Of a darling, baby girl.

Briefly, would say Be honest; do

smoke or drink; depend upon your own
personal exertions, and do not leave I'M
portant affairs to third person; don't
have 90 many irons in the fire; do not
get above your own business; and, above
all be systematic. Advertise your bust

tend to it, too, and see that your claims
and promises made to the public are
fulfilled 1t does not pay to have a
single customer go away dissatisfied.
Nor does it pay to take money for serv.
ices for which you do not render an
equivalent.
The best working years of mans life
are usually between twenty-six and
sixty; but much good work is possible
long after the three-score year mark has

WITH appetites sharp as the swords
Wv OF spain, ~.
of Maine,
No wonder you're seized with an inward
pain,
And made cross and Grabbed.
But when you do shorten the pastry with
lard,
You render digestion remarkably hard;
We beg of the cooks of the land to discard
This dangerous habit.
1t ruins digestion. The experts insist it
Should never be used in pie-erust or
biscuit,
And never in cooking at all should you
risk it.
But people must,
1t seems,
Have crust
To make a pie;
And think it hard to Danish lard
With which to fry.
Now "CoTToL is pure and clean,
And will supply
The place of lard in this regard.
Suppose you try
Croquettes, and see
How delicate and crisp they'll be.
Physicians, chemists, cooks, all say,
BY using "CoTToLENE' you may
Prepare your food in such way,
That children and dyspeptics too
Can eat what other people do.
Its color is quite golden looking,
No odor rises from its cooking;
1t will at once enlist your favor,
When you have tried its matchless flavor.
Your health and wealth you will enhance
BY giving "CoTToLENE" chance.
