BROKE BLAINE'S BOOM.

Ex-Governor Newells Medical Opinion
Turned Jersey Delegates.
Friends of the late William A. New
ell. once Governor of New Jersey. have
recolled an old story in which he fig
ures as the rock upon which the Pres.
ldential hopes of James G. Blaine
were wrecked in 1876. The ex-Goyer-
nor, who was a physician as we'll as a
politician, was a 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
nation. While the struggle for the
various aspirants was in progress, the
news came that Mr.. Blaine had been
stricken with what was v~ariously 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.

a fear that the effects of such a

his mental faculties, saw an oppor.
tunity, as they thought, to help their
candidate. They secured a conference
of the delegation, and, when it had
met, they called upon the Ex-Governor
to give his opinion, as a medical man,
as to whether, in the circumstances,
1t 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
cribe. great effects to small causes saw
at the time, in the inaccurate, long
distance diagnosis of DR.. Newell the
explanation of Mr.. Blaine's failure to
reach the Presidency, for they say
that, though he was defeated in 1884,

would have been elected.-New York

CHAPTER XVII.

BY the Banks of the Pharphar.
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 a number of horsemen were
pursuing them. The chief drew his
horse aside and looked back, and saw
four men coming. They were well
mounted, and seemed to be in hot mr.
suit.
There is something more than ac-
cident in this" said AL Abbas. "The
fellow is with them who followed lis
before"
TWO of those men are white" re-
marked the robber who had ridden
up from the rear What can they
want of us?"
Never mind" returned the chief.
"lf 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
n anon he cast his eyes behind him.
n it was ere long evident that the
strangers were rapidly gaining upon
him.
w may as well stop now as at any
time" said AL Abbas, addressing the
man who rode by, his side. Il will
halt and ascertain what these fellows
want. It is about time our horses
had a breathing spell"
At a simple order from their chief,
the Arabs wheeled their horses in a
circle, bringing up in line, facing their
pursuers, with their prisoners in the
rear.
Who are you that thus pursues and
stops me?" demanded AL Abbas.
II am Julian, the Scourge of Da-
mascus!" replied the foremost of the
| opposite party.
At the sound Of that name the Arab
trembled, for he knew that no kings
officer had been more persistent in
driving petty robbers from the plains
OF Damascus than had Julian. But
presently he recovered himself, seem
ing to think that, were the mans as
sertion true, the opposing force was
rot strong enough to be feared.
If you be Julian" he cried, "you
have come forth with a small retinue.
But what seek you?"
Il have come to take from you those
prisoners that you hold. Deliver them
up to me, and | will trouble Won no
more"
And suppose that I should refuse
to do ally such thing"
"Theng5I should be forced to take
them from you. AS l address you, /
recognize who you are. If I am not
greatly mistaken, you are Al Abbas,

hing women and old men,"

American Geologist Studies Ice Move.
ment Around Baltic Sea.
G. Frederick Wright, the American
geologist, spent a goodly portion of
last summer in the Scandinavian coun-
tries studying the great ice movement
which radiated from northern Scandi-
navia. Before coming to Denmark
and Sweden, he writes, Il had picked
up Norwegian pebbles from the gla-
Scial till which borders the moorland
Of Yorkshire on the east coast of Eng
land. Indeed, Norwegian boulders are
abundant in Eastern England as far
south and as far inland as Cambridge,
showing that the whole North sea was
at that time but an expansion of Scan
dinavian ice. Denmark, also is en-.
tirely covered with Scandinavian drift.
Zealand, at any rate, is scarcely any
thing else than a longeries of terminal
moraines with intervening boys and
kettle-holes, the one filled with peat
and the other with water. Boulders
innumerable are everywhere apparent
in fields and fences and in the solid
walls of houses and barns. An Amer
lean could easily imagine himself in
southern Michigan or in Wisconsin or
Minnesota.
Here in Skane, which forms the
very southern part of Sweden, we
have a similar contour of land sur
face, with it's rich agricultural posi-
bilities. But the story of it's forma-
ton recently brought to light is more
marvellous still. To a considerable ex-
tent it is found that the farmers Of
SHANE are living upon the richness of
Finland, as those in Ohio are upon
that of Canada. 1t appears that the
center of the ice movement in Scan
dinayia was further east than was at
flrst supposed, SO that THE same move
ment which carried %boulders to south
eastern Russia carried them also
southwestward down the whole length
of the Baltic sea, where, meeting with
less resistance on the west than upon
the south, a portion of the ice turned
northwest toward the more open
North sea-. Thus the whole of south
ern SHANE became covered with a con-
geries of terminal moraines whose
material was in part brought from
Finland and in part pushed up from
the bottom and shores of the Baltic
sea" ~

swEDEs MORE FRIENDLY.

Except for a few journals which rep
resent the lingo element in Sweden,
the tone of the press Of that country
toward Norway and Denmark is more
moderate. The Swedish government
is at present more friendly toward the
government Of Denmark than it has
ever been before. Hostile and even
warlike sentiments are only to be
found in army and university circles,
but it is generally recognized at Co
penhagen that the persons who hold
such views do not represent the gen
eral' opinions and the sober common
sense of the Swedish people.
