A New Story of Blaine.

B. G. Ames, a native of Maine and SUI
perintendent Of schools of Columbia.
| Penn, from 1875 to 1887, has been visit
ing that place lately aud the Lancaste,
| Inquirer hears from him this new story
! of Hon. James G.. Blaine:
When Blaine had been in Maine but a
few months as editor of The Kennebec
Journal, of which he took charge in 1854,
he addressed a Republican meeting held
IN schoolhouse several miles out from
Augusta. The most prominent Democrat
in the neighborhood in which the meeting
was held was clergyman, the Rev. A. P.
Dillingham;, who was we'll to- do, having
Inherited an ample fortune from Ten
nessee uncle-a stakeholder. Mr.. billing
ham attended the meeting
At that time Republicans did not ad-
vocate the abolition of slavery, but op-
posed its extension; but the Democrats
accused them of favoring abolition and
pictured the mixture of the races and the
inevitable deterioration of the white race
bou nd to follow.
After Blaine had made his speech Mr..
Dillingham; asked the chairman for per-
mission to reply, and as this request was
at once seconded by Mr.. Blaine, it was
granted. He pictured, as he saw them,
the dangers OF miscegenation, amalgama-
ton, the woful results SO far as the whites
were concerned, and sat down.
Mr.. Blaine replied that there were, he
believed, forty free negroes in Maine;
and in the history of the State there
had been but one intermarriage between
the white and colored races, and that in
that case the reverend gentleman was the
officiating clergyman.
No further reply was necessary. The
Rev. A. P. Dillingham; was stunned by
the unexpectedness of the blow, COM
ing as it did from one almost stranger
| in the State. Mr.. Blaine had proved,
as many time thereafter, not only his
readiness of retort, but his amazing
faculty for the requirement and retention
of all kinds of information, even seemingly
unimportant details and statistics.
Mr.. Dillingham; afterward became q
Republican, and was speaker of the Maine
House of Representatives.
Mr.. Ames was not himself present al
this meeting, but his wife's father anc
uncle were, and many times has he hearc
| them state the facts.

dren and hospital diet. If you do not be-
lieve it, cook some in an rusty pan that
nothing else will clean. When you see
the tin, or iron, come out from the to-
mato bath shining as if its inner coating
had been peeled by acids, reflect if you
desire to serve the delicate lining of your
stomach in the same fashion. A prevail
ing complaint in Cuba, affecting young
and old, is akin to gastritis, and nothing
can be worse for it than tomato acid-to
say nothing of babies and dysentery
patients who are expected to feed on it.
| A lot of dried peaches in the Bene-
fcencia store room was rapidly preparing
to wriggle, because nobody knows how to
prepare them for food. None of these
children have any underclothing whatever
only cotton dress apiece, or blouse and
trousers, according to sex. Beds and
bedding are also badly needed; often as
many as three, and sometimes four little
! ones, sleeping on the same narrow cot.
Besides generous gift of clothes and
beds, Miss Barton wisely decided to help
the institution by permitting it to help it.
self-in other words, by removing the
orphans who do not belong in Sagua.
Fully two thirds of the 316 were gathered
during reconcentrado days; and if these
are now sent to their respective villages
and put into orphanages there, Sagua can
easily care for her own.
The Hospital Civil is another group
of large buildings, in high and pleasant
location at the other end of the city, and
is one of the few in Cuba which was con-
structed for hospital purposes. But alas!
the great main edifice, with its airy wards,
bath rooms and modern water closets,
was abandoned some time ago because it's
roof had decayed and was liable at any
moment to drop down upon the patients.
This hospital is supposed to be sustained
by the city government, assisted just now
by the U. S. in the way of rations; but its
revenues appear to be very slim. Aside
from the main building, the others are in
tolerable repair, barring diet and unsavory
smells that betoken frightfully unsani-
tary conditions. At present there are 2O4
patients, and "a employes-as many as if
the largest wards were useable. Among
them are 50 women, suffering from I'M
nameable diseases, gathered in by the
police during their weekly inspections of
the houses of ILL fame, as is now the law
in every Cuban city. There are only
canvas cots in this hospital m ostly with
out bedding and all extremely dirty.
The wards are crowded as closely as
Nature packs her seedlings, with no re-
gard for ventilation or cleanliness; and of
course the percentage of deaths is uncom-
monty large. The patients look as if they
had not been washed during their stay in
the hospital, if ever in their lives. In
many cases the dirt on their bodies is so
thick that it actually seems ready to break
and scale off, like crumblng kalsomine,
encouraging the hope that in time it may
be ''shed,' as snake disposes of its last
year S skim

WHY WOMEN EXCEL.

Patient Than Men. -

: P. B., Crosby speaks Il. great truth
when he says: Not long ago, while
visiting friend, the cows.wer driven
up to water just at dinner time. The
master asked who. had told the boy to
drive the cows up, and the mistress
said that she had. The cows, she said,
had to stay in the field all day without
any water, and the milk was falling off
in consequence, and she; had told the
boy to bring them up every day to water
at dinner time, INSTANTLY thought of
several Innovations on this farm in
spired by the mistress of it, all OF which.
were to the betterment of the dairy,
and it occurred to me that there would
be very many better diaries in this
country if the better half of the farm
were to do mere managing. A man usu-
ally has not thepatience to.attend all
the little details of dairying; and it is
just the same little details that make
. for success. But woman has the
requisite patience and when she has
mind to manage the dairy it is far bet
ter if she does it. I know of one man
who taught his wife all she knows
about butter making, and she now
makes a better grade of butter than he
did, because she has the patience to at
tend to all the small items that he in his
