minister to Hawaii, died yesterday at Au-
gusta Me. Mr. Stevens had early in life
been a Universalist minister and later
editor of the Kennebec Journal. His in
terest was directed largely in the channel
of religious and educational matters. His
diplomatic career at Honolulu is still fresh
in the minds of newspaper readers. There
was great deal of the character "
Blaine about Mr.. Stevens. No man now
alive represents more intensely the spirit
of Republicanism. For years he had been
the terror of the Democrats and the pet
of the Republicans. His broad boast was
that there was not drop of Democratic
blood that flowed in his veins for he de
seconded straight from the old free soil
and anti-slavery parties. In every
thought, sentiment, nerve and fiber he
represented the progress and views of
liberal Republicanism.

just for fun, it often crept into homes
where a baby sat on the floor. Baby
would reach for it and crows; then it
would be gone. These little games OF
hide-and-seek kept the babies good-nat-

Itmade visits upon all sorts of children
in all sort of homes; but through all
these exreriences it decided that the
best work of all was in making sunny
the room of those who have been sick
and are beginning to get better. Many
face all drawn with pain has broad
ened into smiles as the sunbeam per-
formed its antics. 1t made the pictures
and everything in the room look differ

making people happy, how the children
must love to too. I've seen children
that l knew must be relatives of mine
yes, they must be as near as cousins.
They play hide-and-seek with baby when
he is cross, just as do. They peep into
a room to see how much they can do to
brighten it-that is to help mother
