BLAME'S MEHOEY.

NEVER FORGOT A FACE OR THENAME OF AN ACQUAINTANCE.

The Weddlns Kotico Uo "Wrote "WTienan Editor Some Striking IncidentsThat AVcrc Eclated by or

Cnmhack of Indiana.

. Upcn taking editorial charge of theKennebec Journal Mr. Blaino soonfamiliarized himself with Maine politics oy studying the files of The Journal, and he studied them closely as farback as 1825. By this means he soonbecame the best posted man in the statoon Maino politics, and he was lookednpon as authority. His able editorialsduring the campaign bringing up political matters of the past showed careful research, and they were copied widely. It was while editor of The Journalmac lie was cne uay stopped on thestreet by an old lady whom he had nev-er seen before and asked to write up theweaamg or ner daughter, which occurred the night before.

Blaine had served his time in congress and went to Maine to speak dur-ing his campaign, when at the close ofhis speech he began shaking hands withthe masses crowded around him. Anold lady with wrinkled brow and whitened hair, bearing a babe in her arms,approached and offered her hand.

"Why, how do you do?" said Mr.Elaine, "Where's that daughter ofyours I wrote up that wedding uoticoaoout.-"- '

"ifoat Lucy is dead," said the old lady, aud her eyes filled with tears."This is her child."

'Iho man with tho big, kind heartreached over aud kissed tho littlo blueeyed girl.

During the Greeley campaign in 187Cum back of Indiana spoko

with Mr. Elaine in Springfield, O. Thiswas early in the campaign. Just beforethe election Mr. Cnmback was scut upm Blame's state to make a speech. Hewas told by the committee that hewould find Maine people very stiff andinhospitable and quite different fromtho western people. Mr. Uumback wassurprised, however, at his enthusiascicrcceplion, there being large crowdseverywhere, and he never had a moreenthusiastic meeting than at Augusta,Ho told Blaine of the incident and hisagreeable disappointment.

"Qh," said the statesman, "they hada man of unusual stuff o get themstirred upl Such a man cn a speech asyou are would have a gcod reputationanywhere.

"Put what do ypu know abput myspeech? asked the governor.

" "Didn'f ycu tpeak with me pver atppringficlci? said Blame in a way as areminder. Then ho went ahead and toldMr. Cnmback all about his speech, ofthp crowd present and gavp promptlyall. the main points pf the speeph andpveu named the party with fhcni. Hoalso rcmt mbeicd at what hotel they putpp au what day pf the ce k jt was.

Another instance of piainp's greatmemory is titcd in the following story,US told by Mr. Cum Lack;

During tLe Garfield campaign Mr.Blaine ppeke in Cnmback s town. Hewas entertained by Mr. Cnmback anddriven ever town.

"There's a sick man in that housothere that hrs been talking ycu up forpresident fir feer cr five years, " saidtho Reverter, and he thmhs thcro isno one liko Jim Blaine."

"Mo for president?" said Blaine,"Yes you for president. Do yon

want to stop and go in to sec him aminntc? Nothing would' please him bet-

ter."They went in and rerpaincd $ few

minutes. Blainp trptted the children onhis lap and talked freely with the sickman, whose name was David Kerr.

Blaine pud the governor met at Gar-field's inauguration.

"How arc you, Will?" asked Blaine.And he asked all about the men ho hadmet in Cum back's town several mouthsbefore and called nearly all of them bytheir first names. "Oh", yes," he said,"how is Dave Kerr? Did he ever getwell? Poor fellow, he suffered terribly.And those littlo childien, how aboutthem?"

This may be considered a wonderfulfeat of memory. It was in October whenhe met these people, and it was on the4tti pf March, 'nearly five months after-ward, that hp recalled his visit, re-

membering the name of every personho was introduced to on that day. Hohad seen a millicn people since thattime and had shaken hands with andmet thousands.

Mr. Cnmback accompanied Mr.Blaine on his speaking tour through In-

diana during his campaign in 18S4. Itwas just ten days before election. Cum-bac- k

left him at Lafayette, saying thatho wouldn't see him again until theinauguration.

"I don't know," said Blaine doubt-fully.' ".I'm afraid it vpu't be."'

Ho had' an unusual, vacant, farawaypo"k in his eyes, and bp was very scri-pu- s.

His words pamc slowly and hesi-

tatingly. Mr. Cumbacjc assured himfhat ' there was no doubt, but Blaineshook his head.

J don't know," said he. MI'vp hada sort pf feeling for the last week thatJ wouldn't bo elected. I hope I will,but the outcome is doubtful, and I feelnow as if it were very doubtful. But if Iam defeated I will go to work the nestday on my book."

And he did. He began the second vol-

ume of his "Twenty Years of Con-

gress" the next day after the election.Chicago Times-Heral- d.

DIPLOMATIC AUCTIONS.DrJc-a-br- ac Bargains Eagerly Sought at

tho Shrine of the Itcd Flag.There is a graceful custom among

foreign diplomats at tho capital thatwe may as well trench upon. I refer totho auction sale which frequently be-

falls on the occasion of the recall of oneof our alien embassadors or ministers.

For two weeks before their excellen-cies decamp the local papers revel in along and lurid "ad." recounting tlh re-call of the embassador or minister anddeclaring how on a certain day all peo-ple so minded are invited to appear andcontest at public vendue for a dazzlinglist of plunder in said "ad." set forth.

Prime among tho properties for saleyou will notice wines and many a thingbesides that are as articles of commercohighly tariffed. But in these cases cour-tesy has held the tariff at bay. All of alegation's wines .and cigars and furni-ture in fact, everything of a personalsort that a legation causes to be broughtto America is passed scot free at ourcustoms. One will readily discern thata ripe profit might be made to roll pleas-antly up at ouo of these untarifTed lega-tion sales. Our own tradespeople must,however, pay the fiddler in each notableinstance.

At those sales snobdom turns stoutlyout. The bidding is hot aud fast andhigh. There is nothing so lusted for bya certain sort cf American, cringinglynumerous hereabout, as a wine whichhas been justified by an embassador'staste, or a piece of furniture or bric-a-bra- c

which has been soiled by noble andtitled contact. And, therefore, these le-

gation auctions furnish the most heatedbid combats. And many a fool is fleeced.

It is also to be remarked that thesesales string cut in endless fashion, dayfollowing day, as fcols flock to bo bun-koed. The stock, whether of wine orfurniture or cast off noble garments,never runs low. The widow's store ofoil showed no better staying powers.As long as custom hangs about thechanters shout, tho red flag floats andtho stock of goods to bo disposed offlows by with current unabated.

For, mark you, rather than disap-point or send any full hearted alienchaser away from this salo with achingheart and empty hands the auctioneereach night moves in a new stock tp re-

place tho disappearances of the day be-

fore. Each morning thp legation roomsarc as uustripped, the pabiucts as fullof bric-a-bra- c, the bins ps replete withrare old wines as at thp begipning.

Thps it runs fprward. until no moresheep appear tp po shorp and even thetoadies have enough. Then the flagcomes down and" tho legation pale is atan cud. New York journal.

LAFAYETTE'S FAMOUS VISIT- -

There Vas Great Kxcitpnicnt Over HisTrip to the United States.

Jean Fraley Hallowell, who writesin The .Ladies' Home Journal pf "WhenLafayette Bode Into Philadelphia'says that "it is difficult to understandat this late day what a furore of ex-

citement passed over this country whenLafayette arrived ence more in Amer-ica. The visit is a historic event to boremembered while memory endures.During President Monroe's second ad-

ministration the United States extendedits invitation to Lafayette, He arrivedat Staten Island on Aug. 15 (Sunday),182-1- , accompanied by his son, GeorgeWashington Lafayette, and also by his

Thegeneral was not very tall, but wellmade. His faco was distinctly pleasant,and its expression was an odd mixtnreof shrewdness, decision and gay geedhumor. His costumo was a swallow- -

NOBLES' EEYMGE.HE GOT EVEN WITH THE AUTHOR

OF THE SFECIAL DELIVERY STAMP.

The Actor's tetter of Congratulations toPostmaster General Tilas WithdrawnFor Soilicicnt Reasons, AVliich AppearIn This Story.

Milton Nobles, tho actor and author,and Senator Vilas were schoolmates inMadison 85 years ago, and they wentfrom tho schoolhouso to tho war to- -

gether. Nobles thinks a good deal ofhis old schoolmate and is proud of thedistinction ho has won among the greatmen of his party.

When the special delivery stampmade its appearance, Senator Vilas,who was then postmaster general, re-

ceived many complimentary letters,among them one from Nobles. The restof the story i3 best told by the authorhimself:

""When I wroto this letter of congrat-ulation to the general, I hadn't had oc-

casion to uso or receive any of thostamps, but the idea seemed to mo tobe a good one. I was spending a weekat home in Brooklyn at tho time. Onebitter morning about 3 o'clock I wasawakened by what seemed to me to bothe ringing of all tho fire bells inBrooklyn. Shoving my head out of thesecond story window, I could see amuffled figure cn tho steps below jerk-ing the bell with savage fury. 'What isit?' I asked. At that moment tho bellwire broke, and the figure fell back-ward down the steps. Tho snow wasknee deep, and tho wind was blowing60 miles an hour. As the figure rolleddown the steps I could hear scmo choicespecimens of explosive English in afamiliar accent, mingled with some-

thing about 'letter, special delivery.'After removing chains and bolts Iopened the outer door, and tho messen-ger blew into tho vestibule in a sheet ofsnow.

" 'What is it? What havo vcu got?'"'Letter.'"'What tho Helen Blazes aro ycu

bringing a letter here for at this time ofnight?'

'Special delivery, sir, please.'"I backed into the hall" and slid my

hand all over the wall, trying to findthe matchsafc. The vestibule was fullpf snow, and I had commenced oiees-lg- .

M 'Core hi and shut the dccrl' I yell-ed- Bang went the deer and cut wentmy match just as l had got the gasturned on. The messenger bumped upagainst n;o ia the dark, stepped on mytoes and shook a shovelful of snow offhis. shoulders about my feet, filling myslippers and dropping down my backI finally succeeded in lighting the gas,signing tho book, pushing the messen-ger out and bolting the dooi--. Then Iwent up stairs with my prize. I exam-ined the long bluo stamp carefully. Itwas tho first one that I had received.Then I devoted about five minutes towondering what tho dickens it was allabout. After a time it occurred to meto open it and see. The handwritingwas unknown, but the refrain was fa-

miliar. Hero it is:"SnEBOYGAN, Wi3., Jan. 19.

BURNS AND HIS MARY.

Ke sanff of friendship and dutyAnd manhood all creeds above.

Of the dear, green earth in her beautyAnd the dewy glory of love.

But the sweetest, tenderest chord he gavo"Was the requiem poured o'er his lost

love's grave.

Then life Tvas but futile longingAnd earth but a beauteous tomb,

But songs through the silence werethronging,

And glory dwelt in the gloom,And sorrow, the harper skilled and strong,From the breaking heart drew its sweet-

est song.

When thy grief had heavenward strivenin melody tremDiing to prayer,

Did thy Mary remember in heaveni wn'ow noVbut earth thaV Lard thee

singMust cherish thy song to her latest spring.Deep heart, so lavish in loving!

Oh, waywjird and broken heart!As safe from our shallow reproving

As deaf to our praise thou art.Yet thy song shall thrill us while lovo

shall lastAnd thy sorrow move us till death be past.

Educating For Trades."I engaged that man because he has

been in tho business since ho was 15years old," said a merchant tohisfriend J

as a new employee passed out of the of-

fice. "Say what you will about thoadaptability of well grown people or thopossibility of training a man to a cer-tain occupation after ho has reachedmaturity, all tho same, my experiencedoes not coincido with that view of thocase. I have been in business 30 years,and I find my best help among thosowho have made the occupation their lifework. To be sure, they get cranky some-times and fall into ruts, as wo say, butthat is no worse than tho opinionated,obstinate tenacity of the man who hasdone business for himself and has anidea that ho understands business prin-ciples.

"Every occupation has its traditions,its dialect, you may say; its usages andnecessities also, aud a very large item itis in its possibilities. And while com-mercial affairs aro all managed on thosame general basis, it is not easy to fitone occupation into tho samo grooves asanother one ruus m. I havo an idea thatthis sain.o theory holds good in trades ofall sorts and that the mechanic is morovaluable if ho acquired his deftness ofhand whilo he was an apprentice in hiateens. An ordinary lifetinio is not toolong in which to learn all there is toknow about business, and tho earlier onetakes to it tho more likely he is, all oth-er things being equal, to make a pro-nounced success cf it."

Kipling's Famous Poem.It is the sentiment, says Arlo Bates

in Tho Atlantic, and not tho object,which arouses sympathy and kindlesthe imagination. No mistake could bomore complete than to suppose that inthis poem is to be found any argumentIn favor of the uso of machinery as ma-terial for poetry. In "McAndrew'sHymn" it is the character of the stanchold engineer and his feelings by whichthe reader is moved. Tho wonders ofthe great engine aro a hindrance, andnot a help, if they are looked at in anyway other than through tho eyes of Mc-Audre- w.

The piece succeeds or fails tothe degree in which it makes his emo-tio- j;

real and contagious to the readerand that, too, as emotion pure and. simpie, quite without regard to what hasexcited it. In sp far as the attention iscaught by tailrcd, crank throws, feed-ing pump and "purrin dynamos"finely suggestive as is the epithet inthis last the emotional effect is weaihcued at tho expense of tho intellectual.
