MAINE'S FAVORITE SON. A Sketch of Hon James G Blaine. How He Came to Adopt the Pine Tree State ..The Foundation of His Immense Fortune--A Dramatic Inter- view--The Presidency Lost Forever. Chicago News When Garfield's administration came to an end, every one thought that Mr. Blaine would net be long in following the murdered president. He was very sick. | His enormous vitality had withstood too | many shocks in the past. If he had con- | tinued in public life, his death must soon | have followed. The enforced retirement | has given Mr. Blaine a new lease of life, | so0 that now, at the age of 53, he does not | look any older than he should. In the | last year he appears to have regained | fully ten years of his lost life. Now he | has the appearance of being really con- | tented with his situation. | He has had enough of the great prizes of politics to satisfy ambitic and to give him a complete experience in everything | relating to th affairs.

He was born and educated in western Pennsylvania. He was a graduate of Washington uni- versity, an ancient institution of Little Washington, in that state. At college he was not specially noted for his bril- liancy. He was known all through his college carcer as ““Nosey” Blaine on ac- count of his very large nose. He was slight in those days, and the nose was the overshadowing feature of his face. But he has grown to his nose in late years, 80 that it scoms in perfect propor- tion with his large head and finely devel figure.

Then | he walked to the grate and dashed the burning manuscript down, standing with folded arms as he watched it crumble into ashes. The action all th gh, relating | to a simple and trivial matter, was highly dramatic. Mr. Blaine loves the dramatic. | He is a fine actor, and if he had gone on the stage must have had a colossal success.

Inall his victories he has forced the fighting, When he was first called before the credit mobilier investigating committee to be offered up as a burnt sacrifice by Job Stevenson, of Cincinnati, Mr. Blaine at the very outset took advantage of the evident malice of the meanvisaged Job, and jumped on him with such force and deadly accuracy that the prosecutor began to appear as the guilty one. Out of the cloud and dust of this engagement he swept triumphant, no one daring to que tion him.

Some five or six miles out we struck broad patches where the bottom was cov- ered with the dead shells of fresh water molluses, (washed in from Hot Springs Lake) caught by the roots and stems of | the salt grass and some bulbous plants | which forty years ago flourished ~there | and were overwhelmed by the rising | brine, and perfectly preserved for a gen- SERHBN YU WHLEY HON W nearly reached 8 level of 1840 that the high waves wash up the roots and cast them upon the | beach where they are now to be found. The storm line of that year is now at the water's edge, and the ancient sagebrush that grew immediately behind it no stands like ghostly sentinels over théir ves. For over forty years this same sagebrush has stood “deep beneath the | water like the submerged forests of the | Columbia River. | A stiff breeze soon sprang up from the south, and we went booming along in full papers. 1t is hardly to be imagined that | &+ &8¢ 20t bweon hi | view of Antelope (Church) Island, toward | Mr. Blaine w ne to seek his ’;'_'I_L:‘ o KEu-:,l"‘ scene between him - and a dim, low island (Fremont n)(-:lh\'xuv'l‘lll‘ fortune, Few men would be hold of it. ight dozed around us; midnight | enough to go prospecting in & _compara- tively occupied and well-worn field, when other and more promising regions w open to them. Accident the great guide and controll- ing influence of the average success—had much to do in determining Mr. Blaine' career. His paper soon gave him a sc footing among the hard-grained Maine people. Blaine took naturally to politi and with his paper soon acquired an in- fluence with the powerful political ring that has arbitrarily ruled Maine for years. ‘Within a few years he was to become the chiof spirit and unyielding dictator to this combination. Blaine was very active at the outset of the war in procuring contracts for some of his Maine friends, and in that way laid the foundation for his subsequent fortune. It is one of the charges made against Mr. Blaine that he ered con- ress a poor man and has retired a mil- ionaire, at the close of a continuous ser- vice as a public official with a salary which would in no year pay the expenses of his private household. When Mr, Blaine first came to congress his private fortune amounted to fully $250,000. With great opportunities since to develop his original capital he has certainly gath- ered together a fortune which is estimated by some in the neighborhood of £10,000,- 000, Mr. Blaine is a man who would have succeeded anywhere. He has anenormous fertility of invention, an energy which used to sweep everything before it, and an irresistible fascination of manner. You may not like Mr. Blain abstract. the in You may not believe in him, but T defy you to sit down for half an hour's conversation with him and not be completely interested, and susceptible to the rdiant atmosphereaf good.fellowship which surrounds him, n his private manners he is the model of any public man. He has a phenomenal memory for names and faces. This is a very import- ant element for a political leader. The lack of such a power was the means of defeating Matt Carpentcr for re-clection to the senate when Angus Cameron was returned. A certain Madison banker had contributed much money to secure Car- penter's election, through sheer admira- tion of his brilliant intell One day the banker went to Washington to visit his senator, and Carpenter did not know him. The banker was stung to the very heart—of his pocketbook. , He went houme, unlocked the vault of his bank,and told the boys to beat Carpenter, and they did. Blaine would never have made any such mistake as that. Mr. Blaine is fond of young men. Ho alvuys encournges them to call, and is always ready to give them freely information ~ from his great storehouss of political experience. He is very averse to being interviewed by newspaper correspondents in any for- mal sense. He is invariably polite to all newspaper callers and will falk with them very freely if they will simply promise not to print his conversation. ~ Anything coming from himself for publication has to bear the most rigid scrutiny and re sion. Any authorized interview with him is one where he asks all the questis and writes all the answers. Mr. Blaine doea not like to dictate, As eloquent and ready a speaker as he is, he needs the stimulus of an audience to fire him up to the elevated pitch of an eloquent diction, I remember once calling on Mr. Blaino toget his version of a certain public question. 1 found him very willing to give his views, but he was then in a posi- tion where he thought there would fho some impropriety in his saying anything on his own responsibility. He said *AVait, and I will write YOu my opini This you can use in any way you please except to say it came from me.” ““Af you will dictate I will write.” “No; I prefer to write,” Mr. Blaine here sat down at his dining- o0m table, and, upon a great pile of bluv paper, began writing with e greatest rapidity, scratching his thoughts with a it spluttering grey goose-quill pen, m“nmwnl,cn d,and almost squawk- ed under the energetic of Mr. Blaine's firm white fist Three or four sheets were covered when My, Blaine said : “There, you may copy twists “But why uot let me have your copy ! 1 will keep it cercfully, and will value it | afterward as your autograph manuscript. ] ghould prefer to give you an auto graph manuseript on some other subject,” S v, m:;un'l'u “If you want that opinion you will haye to copy it.” Whulyilwu copied Mr, Blaine took his man hand, ipt and, holding it in one | for us. His great success in par tic lay in his dramatic powers imore logic, argument, and fa sublime assurance, and paint wierd, free colors a_picture of with himself as the hero of the picture, that he would, beforea popular audience, sweep overything before him. Matt Car- penter, as great a lawyer as_ever sat in the senate, used to say that he always had his hands more than full in a bout with Blaine. Forif he did not like your argument he would ignore it. If your facts did not suit him he would change | them and come at you with such a bril- liant array of n|inruI-rummumun of your own position as to drive a logician wild. In one sense he is not a good politician. He owes his failure to become prosident to the lack of generalship in managing canvass. At Cincinnati it was a great mistake to have such stiff, stupid men as Hale and Frye his political managers. Senator John Logan says Blaine could have been nominated at Cincinnati if he had had good political sense. Logan and Cameron called upon Hale and Frye and offered them the votes of the Pennsylva- nia delegation in return for a certain cab- inet appointment. These votes would have nominaged Blyine onthe But Hale andl Fryo woro confident they could succeed without any concessions, and so the offer was refused, and Mr. Blaine's chance for the presidency was forever lost. ‘When Blaine had his sunstroke Dr. Bliss was called in, because Dr. Pope, the regular physician, was absent. Dr. Bliss was opposed to Mr. Blaine at Cin- cinnati, and it was afterward claimed that Bliss sent very damaging dispatches to Cincinnati from Blaine’s sick-room. At any rate, ne charges up her hus- band’s d Bliss, and has re- 0 ever since. This fact complicated the situation not a little when Dr. Bliss waas in attendance upon Garfield at the white house. To-day Mr. Blaine is living in a com- fortable. large, roomy new house upon a terrace west of Dupont circle, in ‘v{'m«lr ington. He has also a handsomo country house in Maine. He is working upon his political history “From Lincoln to G field.” He has blocked out other his- tories, and looks forward to a life of his- torical writing. He has regained his health, and I believe values it too highly to ever venture losing it again in the ex- citement and heart-burning of politics. Of course, he would not refuse the nom ination of a national convention—no one but Abraham 8. Hewitt would—but he is not actively working for that end, and I do not believe he will. He has before him a much more useful and comfortable future as a historical writer, T, C.

Harper's is par excellence the magazine of time; it has its home ev- erywhere; it is o welcome guest in every circle, and its title page is now as familiar in the booksellers’ windows and in publi- cation catalogues all over Europe and Australia a8 it is in this land, which holds the special pride of its birth and the praisoful u of the enterprise. In artistic excellence, in the finish of its literary contributions and in the taste- ful variety of its contents, the number for August is equal to any of its predocessor and that is about the highest praise we could accord to the publication.~ In these days of o mania for foreign tavel, Mr, Lathrop's paper, *The Hoart of the Alle- ghanics,” will perhaps call up o blush of shame or regretthat, while socking far-u- ay attractions, so much that is beautiful is left almost unexploredat our own doors, The article **American Horses,” and the rurlmitn of some remarkable animals will bo interesting to many.

The new moon never unlike itself as it rose half out behind the hills. FREMONT ISLAND. Ere long the gravelly shore of Fremont Island was reached, and soon all the party were fast asleep on the beach. One of them had taken the precaution to tie the halliard rope around his body, and in about two hours he found himself travel- ing toward the water, the strong waves having loosened the boat. About dawn | e was again doubled up by the rope. Had it not been for this precaution, all the party would have graced the solitude with their presence, and the boat would have sailed alone. The next morning most of us studied the ancient beach of the island, and gathered splendid speci<] mens of specular iron ore and slate, Our geological books informed us that the island was a mere pile of rocks, barren and without water; what was our sur. price, therefore to find it smooth and rounded wishy but few gliffs and dotted with sheep, which of course meant at least one good spring upon it. Desconding to the shore, we found the sand to be angu- lar, like that of the ocean and most fresh water lakes, this being almost the only place where the peculiar oolitic (egg-shap- ed) sand of the lake is absent. Soon we were on‘our way toward the hazy western shore. As we passed along the sea-gulls circled around us or onted on the water, their white plumage shin- ing in the sunlight. Every now and then a hawk-moth would flit by or alight on the boat, dragon flies would stop long enough to gaze at us curiously and then spin off toward the distant islands. Occa- sionally a seventeen-year locust would hum past as if to mock at us for ever daring to believe that this is the “DEAD SEA OF AMERICA," As the bow plowed through the water millions of small diptera (flies) would riso from the water, s they were resting, and cover the bow of the boat till quarts of them could be collected, Wher- ever we went we observed the same thing. The water of the lake is their home, and they are as much at ease sitting on the water, as a skipper is on an eastern pond. In some places. when it is calin these flies darken the water for miles. Here (not on the beach) they lay their oggs; here they hatch, and here the larvie live by the million till ready for the pupa state, when they attach themselves to the sea- weed (floating everywhere in the water) and remain till tlu-? emerge as perfect flies, The larvew doubtless prey upon the strange littlo shrimps that live in the wa- ter. There are infinite numbers of these, as there is scarcely a place in the lake where a bucket of water can be dipped without taking up from twenty to five hundred of them. It is strange that peod plo should call this a ‘‘dead sea,” for though the number of spec does not exceed ten or fifteen, there is no lake, fresh or salt, in the world that contains half as many living things as Great Salt Lake. z SMALL ISLANDS In the course of the forenoon we reached and explored sovoral small islands near the western shore, then passed around the northern shore of STANSHURY ISLANDS, This is the most interesting of all the islands of the lake, We, had previously explored it, finding some very rare plants, insocts and fossils. The eastern side is indented by numerous open bays, which sweep from point to point inarcsor circles like 80 many bended bows, The beach is composed of fine white sand free from boulders, and slopes quickly to the water where it forms a beautiful bottom; a few rods from shore the water is deep enough to satisfy the most fastidious, thus mak- ing the most deltghtful bathing places on the lake, The view obtainable from the island's lofty peaks is unexcelled. Leaving Stansbury behind, we sailed for the north shore of ANTELOP: passing over the de lake.

JoNes, Poultry. Dairy and Farm Journal Poultry ducks, in e more e., chickens, turkeys, cse and guineas—are essential ¢ well regulated country family pecially chickens. No housewife can do well without egys chicken is often handy fora stew, a fry, aroast or a pot-pie. 1t is not fashionable to have geese about the place, but we knew of few persons who do not like to sleop on a good feather bed, especially in cold weather. We have spoken of how handy it often is to have chickens, but now we will de- vote a little space to the profitableness of aving them. It is said that when an in- stment pays 100 per cent it is a good one. In our calculation we will take one dozen hens as an estimate, which will give our readers an idea of the immense profits in keeping chickens. It is an es- tablished fact that all chicks hatched be fore June will commence laying by the of the next March, if not sooner. We have a full blood Plymouth Rock pullet, a year old June 1st, that up to that date laid forty-two eg, She would likely have commenced sooner had she | not heen moved. We will, in our estimate, leave ont the finer breeds for the present, and take the common stock. Take twelve pullets com- ld in June. They will aver- age, say, 9 eggs per day until the first of July from March 1st, making one hun- dred and twenty-two day, which gives us 1, 13 cents per dozen, gives $10.78 for four months from one dozen hens. dozen hens would give $43.12 for alone for four months, with the common chickens, For the whole year, four dozen hens will, above feed, care, etc., clear 7 Say they cost you 83 per doze which would be 812, leaving, at the lo est estimate, 863 clear money on an in- vestment of 812, We know of no better investment. But take the non-setters—the white or brown Leghorns. With one dozen hens we ean count on 365 eggs from each hen from March to March, provided they are hatched on or before Ju Ist. Twelve hens of the Leghorn breed would lay in one year 365 eggs apiece, which would make 4,380 eggs, or 365 dozen, which, at 13 cents per dozen, would amount to £47.45 per year from one dozen. From four dozen hens, eggs alone would amount to $188,80, at 13 cents per dozen. Our favorite is the Plymouth Rock. We have tried the common chickens and white Leghorns. The Plymoutd Rocks are more hardy, larger (and, corfifquent- ly, better for table usgly and vell ngarly as good egg prodi.. .m rn breed. From one Prysoul el let above named, up to this, the 19th day of June, we have had 52 eggs. have three dozen chicks hatched. This hen cost The chicks, at the ordinary price of §3 per dozen, would bring §9; but they are worth a great deal more, as they are Pitkin and Conger stock, and full-bloods. Now four dozen hens would produce 48 times $9, which would be $432 for four months. These may seem high figures, but you can see that from the 52 eggs laid there hus been a loss of 16 that did not hatch and they died after they were out of the shells, under the usual sualties. For the investment of a few dollars, 1 not see what can be more remunera- tive than poultry. In the May number of the Fancier's Gazette, a gentleman states that he is raising cattle and poul- try, and, for the amount invested, his poultry brings him the most money. We are convinced that the farmer does not give the attention necessary to the poul- try, to get the best results, If an ac- count of the proceeds of the poultry were kept, many would be surprised at the re- sult. And we are further convinced that the higher grades of poultry pay as well as the higher grades of stocl i other words, it costs no more to raise a good chicken than a poor one, but it will cost more to get the original stock or eggs to hatch from; yet it is clearly the interest of every one to have good stock. Give them the required attention, and you may then expect better results. R. 8. SMEDLEY. Nichols, Towa. Horsford's Acid Phosphate. Bewarelofflmitations.
