BROKE BLAINE'S BOOM.

Friends of the late William A. New
ell. once Governor of New Jersey, have
recalled an old story in which he fig
ures as the rock upon which the Pres
idential hopes of James G. Blaine
were wrecked in 1876. The ex-Gover-
nor, who was physician as well as a
politician, was delegate to the Re-
publican national convention in that
year. and he was prominent among
those members of the New Jersey dele
CATION who favored Mr.. Blaine's nom
ination: While the struggle for the
various aspirants was in progress, the
news came that Mr.. Blaine had been
stricken with what was variously de-
scribed as apoplexy and sunstroke.
This event was eagerly seized upon
by the two or three Jersey delegates
who favored Mr.. Conkling, and these.

as to whether, in the circumstances.
it would be prudent to nominate the
Maine statesman. The answer, given
with extreme reluctance and regret.
and of course entirely sincere. was in
the negative. Mr.. Blaine's hold upon
the New Jersey delegates was imme-
diately broken, but their votes ulti-
mately went, not to Mr.. Conkling. but
to Mr.. Hayes. Those who like to as

explanation of Mr.. Blaine's failure to

Half an hour after AL Abbas had
resumed his place at the head of his
troop, the same robber who had be-
fore come from the rear, again rode
to the front, this time bringing intelli-
gence that number of horsemen were
pursuing them. The chief drew his
horse aside and looked back, and saw
four men coming. They were we'll
mounted, and seemed to be in hot pur-
suit.
"There is something more than ac-
cident in this" said AL Abbas. 1.-THE
fellow is with them who followed us
before"

marked the robber who had ridden
up from the rear. What can they
want of us?"
Never mind" returned the chief.
"1f they want us, let them catch us.
And If. beyond that, they want more,
let them make their wants known"
Thus speaking. the Arab leader re-
sumed his place. and urged his horses
forward with increasing speed. Ever
and anon he cast his eyes behind him,
/, and it was ere long evident that the
strangers were rapidly gaining upon
him.

man who rode by his side. Il will
