Blaine Never FacetiOus.
Mr.. Blaine was never facetious in the
chair. He reserved his Jokes for other
places. Reed exceIled him in quick, keen.
brilliant repartee. but Mr.. Blaine. while
not as large in frame or so ponderous in
manner as Reed, was more imposing.
Reed. it will be remembered. was destined
for the pulpit. and started in at college
with this end in view, but finding that
preaching was not his bent. he gave I'd
the idea and started in 10 become a law
yer. II was a long time before he be-
came a successful one, and before then
he had many interesting experience in
California. where he was first admitted
10 the bar, and in the navy. where he
served year as paymaster.
Reeds examination for entrance 10 the
bar took place in Stockton, Cal. before
Judge Wallace, and he was admitted on
just two questions. The first was. Have
You ever studied law" The second. rs

sir: IL undoubtedly is was the PROMPT
reply. WhereUpOn the examining Judge
said: Mr.. Reed, you may consider your
self admitted 70 the bar ANY one who
can answer off-hand a great question Ike
that, upon which so many mighty minds
are divided, ought 10 be able TO practice
in any country"
Carlisle Most Impressive.
Carlisle was the most impressive man
who has set in the Speakers chair with
in the writer's memory. He had a fine
intellectual face. a spare figure, and bore
himself with great dignity. He came near
working himself 10 death while he was
Speaker, and. except for Mrs. Carlisles
watchfulness and care, would have
broken down. His health was never A
matter OF concern with him. He burned
the candle at both ends. and worked as
hard on the Sabbath as he did any other
day Of the week
Mr.. Cariislc's passion was cards and
when he could not indulge in his favorite
poker, would play solitaire. His passion
for cards, indeed. amounted to obsession.
and he invariably played solitaire when
debating 10 his stenographer. While it
mas never been told OF him that he played
at this game when he was presiding over
a session of the House. some OF his
friends insist that this was possible.
Mr.. Carlisle retired from politics 10
practice law in New York; so did Reed
The former has made a comfortable liv-
ing by his profession, the latter amassed
a fortune; but Reed was promised $4,000
a year before he left the House. That
was, in fact, the incentive that persuaded
him to quit politics, and before he died
he had accumulated more than a million.
Mr. Reed. however. was frugal Maine
tie and Mr. Carlisle is a prodigal Ken
tuckian. There lies the difference. Mr..
Carlisle is something like Senator Joe
Blackburn in his inability TO accumulate
money. Senator Blackburn once said that
If the streets OF Washington were filled
knee-deep with gold and he should walk
through them all the days Of his life not
grain would stick to him.

more lively curiosity from one end Of
