The Plumed Knights Sixth Sense.

Another of our public men-James
@. Blaine-possessed this abnormal
memory for faces and names. 1t
was as useful to him as "a sixth sense.
Behind it, too, in his case, there were
the warm heart and ardent instincts
which came to him from his Irish
forefathers. He won as devoted an
allegiance from the nation as did
Clay. I don't believe, by the way,
hat any man, be he statesman or
writer or soldier, ever has gained
that passionate loyalty from the pub
lie who did not have red blood at
heart and the boyish temperament.
When I was a schoolgirl in Wash
ington, Pennsylvania, James Blaine
was a big, ungainly law student in
the same village. Some time, long
ago, there had been an intermar-
rage in our families, so that we al
ways-in the Southern phrase
"called cousins" and having this
background of old times and childish
friends we kept up the fiction of re-
lationship through life, until we, too,
were old and gray.
During his busy years of public
life when on his way from Washing

When to Stop.

1t cannot be too often said that it
Is as wise to stop reading a poor book
as to finish a good ono. In truth, it
IS wiser; for to stop in the middle of
a good book means only some loss,
while to go with a poor one means
positive harm. The older we grow,
the more books thrust themselves
upon u attention, and it is never
too early to be saving of your time
Tor the best reading. To read trash
IS not only foolish and wasteful of
Tine; 1t positively crowds out good

people in other lands. Henry Ward
Beecher says: GA home without
books is like a room without win
dows." Books are like friends: they
are ever with us and many times the
greatest source of pleasure and COM
fort. Each year they are being
placed at the disposal of the masses.
Emerson ays Books are the best
things well used, abused the worst"
We have more public libraries in
country than ever before. The trav-
cling libraries are an innovation
which will be of great value to the
farm homes. Next come the school
libraries and you will find many a
district school house contains one of
these. True the books may be few
but the few are well chosen and what
a pleasure to the pupils! How many
a child will be touched by some little
story read to them, hal you or I
might not notice, which will in
fuence them through all their lives.
Be content, do not worry, think of
your mercies and do not envy your
city cousins, for to them many of
the beauties of nature are only word
pictures, and though they may have
famous artists best paintings, there
is many a tint in the setting sun that
no artists pencil has ever caught.
No painter has dipped his brush in
the rainbow %colors, or the s~ilvery
rain drops hanging to the limbs and
trees. What city conservatory can
show flowers equal to dainty spring
blossoms that nestle so near to ma
lures heart? What music can equal
the robin as he sings his vesper
songs? What chorus is prettier than
neat of the black birds singing?

He hath given us, not forgetting

kindness I can show to any human

The porter s1ouched up the aisle, dis
gust written on his countenance.
"Gawd, porter" groaned the fat
man. us there a doctor on board?
I'm horribly punctured! Did you
see the villain when he stabbed me %
KANT nobody stab you, sah," re-
monstrated the porter sternly. "No-
body amt moved in this car. You've
got the deleriam trimmins, that's
what's the matter wifi you. If you
don't lie still and stop your hollerin',
me and the conductor is goin' to
strap you down."

from upper Ten"
"Put him off at the next station.
This is supposed to be a sleeping
car" growled "Lower Four" "He
hasn't done a thing but keep every
body awake with his Internal grunt-
ing since he turned in"
From all along the line of curtains
came uncomplimentary comments,
but there was silence in "Lower Sew

who had got on at Norfolk.
"Never had such bad dreams in my
life" said "Lower Eight" addressing
the car in general. Dreamed the
same thing three times in succession.
I believe it is a warming. If any ac-
cident is going to happen tonight, /
die with my boots on. I'm going to
get up"
A thrashing about told the other
passengers that the fat man was as
good as his word. A sigh of relief
was breathed through the car as the
fat man numbered by the curtains to
the smoking-room, to spend the rest
of the night brooding over the mys-
terry.
When the timid young thing crept
from her berth the next morning,
there was something about the smile
which lurked around her mouth that
made the porter scratch his head

scure friends of his boyhood, and, as
| learned elsewhere, he never, with
all his burden of work and worry,
failed to help them or their children
when they needed help.
No doubt, in public life, Mr..
Blaine may have gilded the gold of
his friendly impulses by a little
fnesse. On one occasion when he
was to be the guest of honor at a
large banquet in Philadelphia he
asked his host, as we sat at dinner,
"What are the names of the princi-
pal men that I shall meet tonight 2"
They were told to him.
An hour later, when they were
presented tc him, Blaine detained
each with a look of sudden, keen in
terest.
o, did you say? There was
a great jurist B in Philadelphia
when [ was a boy? He stood in
the highest court of the temple while
I was peeping through the fence-?"
"My father, sir" and B
passed on, flushed and smiling.

How did he know that the one
weakness of this W was to be
thought a descendant of the famous
Bishop?
How, in that brief hour after din
ner, had he summoned into his brain
all the pleasant facts or fancies that
clung to the anne of these stran-
gers, so that by a word he made them
his allies for life?
He altered very little during his
life. When he was the brilliant, pop
ular college boy of the village, at
heart he did not care a groat for the
honors which he won. When he was
a candidate for the Presidency, be-
meath the able politician was a mel
ancholy idler who at heart did not
care whether he ever entered the
White House or not.
He came of an able, scholarly,
sluggish race. He had the strong
brain, the keen perception, the un-
erring tact needed to control masses
of men-when he cared to control
them. The powerful engine was
there, but not always the fire to move
it. He was pushed forward and held
back throughout his life by the am
bition or faults of his weak retain
ers.-From the "reminiscences of Re

slower Eight"

MS charges, including the lat man
in Lower Eight and the timid
young thing who had boarded the
train at Norfolk. The porter stirred
uneasily in his nap, for the snoring
that was arising from Lower Eight"
drowned the roar of the train. The
snoring came in gurgles, means, and
whistling, the like of which had new
er been heard in heaven above or on
the earth beneath. The curtains of
Lower Eight" had swung slightly
open with the lurch of the train, and
the fat man could be seen lying on
his broad back, with his mouth gap
ing wide.
As his slumber d~eepened, he was
apparently in the last throes of chok-
ing when a neatly rolled umbrella,
held in a slender white hand, crept
out from Lower Seven" where the
timid young thing was shrinking, and
made a vicious jab between the cur
tains of Lower Eight"
"Porter! Porter!" came a whoop
from "Lower Eight" and the bell
trilled wildly.
"What is it, sab 2" cried the start
led porter as he bounded down the
aisle.
Odd you stab me in the side" de-
manded the fat nan in dire wrath.
ooh, no, sab !" replied the porter.
II never done no thing like that!
You must have been dreaming, sah."
"Confound you! I'm not dream
ing" growled "Lower Eight"
"Well, sah," argued the porter, his
black hand c~oncealing his cleaning
worries, "you know that when you
turned in you had took a little noah
than was jess good fo' any gem
man."
OTIS mighty funny" muttered
"Lower Eight" but he was not in a
position to contradict this statement,
so he subsidized. The porter returned
to the smoking-room, Illuminating on
the strange Authorizations produced
by too long a dallying in the dining
car.
The SHORES began again in rising
~crescendo. Just as the teeth of ner-
Vous passengers were well set, the
umbrella stole again from Lower
Seven" and another vicious lunge
made the snore change to a howl of
rage.
"Porter~ yelled slower Eight"
"I tell you someone is stabbing me- !"
"Kain't be muffin like that, sah,"
replied the porter, coming up sooth-
ingly. 81 amt slept a wink, and
nobody's been movin' in this car, or
I'd a-seen them. You're jess havin'
a bad dream"
cts no dream!" shouted the fat
man. "Why, my side is sore. Feels
like there's a hole there you could
stick your fist in"
"Now you go to sleep again, sah,"
coaxed the porter, "and I'll watch

Nlcnlta, Kan, March -, 1872.
Editor Daily Eagle: 7 notice an article
in Wichita paper dated March Is. enti-
tied Sensation IN Probate Court" I
am surely entitled to a word in defense.
While I do not believe that a deep and
scientific exposition of any proposition
always meets 4 truly appreciative re-
Spouse from the multitude surely al this
tirne il would not profit the cause Of
progress to offer an extended trea tment
Of the case.
Through all time history IS freishted
with the fact that some people whose
education is more varied than thorough
are prone to consider every material
thing, as well as every proposition touch
ing the status or progress Of the mind of
man, from the surface alone and rush 10
a glittering conclusion based on this sur
face cleaning, or rather viewing
This state of non-progress exists in this
age and locality as truly as in the dark
ages and in the oriental countries. The
hope Of all the ages has been that light
has been constant and indestructible, and
has survived because of its own Inherent
fitness. The critic SAYS:
-Four intelligent men could consistent
ly sit through a trial and listen TO the
testimony of competent witnesses and
still stronger unimpeachable evidence
that the old man offered by his actions"
Now I will venture tho statement that
no man appeared in that court with more
gentlemanly behavior than old man Ham
mond. 1t must be remembered that the
old man could hear nothing scarcely OF
the talk at the time. Not one of the wit
nesses gave the least positive belief Of
the mans insanity. The jury did not pro-
lose to be easily led into the old habit Of
rushing quickly to d verdict Of insanity,
all based on an easy run of opinions
Rather let US remember that the old man
was struck by lightning about thirty
y ears ago, and the result is a physical
oppression has been weighing on him for
these many years. Now the spirit of the
q &c is to reclaim. All the world is fast
coming to the fact that in the economy Of
nature nothing is lost. The harsher con-
illusions are not entertained and the more
reasonable and humane methods are es-
tablshing from every source. No longer
the good Christian people think the I'M
steady nerve of the aged woman is the
exhibition of witchery, and no more do
they destroy her existence. But the plain
duty is to join IN the grand march pointed
out by our great scientists and human
fully believing that in God s
or natures economy nothing is lost I
calm that the jury gave a reasonable
verdict, based upon the evidence pro-
duced, and not on the speculatious OF
any or all men. For my part, I viii not

ular when il does not lead out Of the
darkness of superstition and error and
