A woman in Georgia, who was
deeply in earnest on the. marriage
question.proposed to a young term
er whom she knew Well to bet on
election. She wanted to bet her
self against himself that Harrison
would be elected. Tbe farmer said
he didn't want a wife, but as fche
importuned him, he finallv said :
"Well, I'll take the bet, because
Cleveland ib sure to be elected, and
I won't take vou till I set read v."
"All right," said she, "and if Har
rison is elected you've got to mar
ry me on inauguration day
or give me you ifarm." The
young fellow agreed to this, but
Since the election of Harrison he
has Bhown a decided disinclination
to live up to tbe agreement. He
has turned his farm over to a
creditor and gone to Texap. The
woman says she will follow him
and make him pay the bet.

Special Comspondence.
Washington, Jan. 8. Mr. Blaine
after having been several times re
iiorted on his way to Washington.ar-
rived here last week and is now the
guest of Representative . William
Walter Phelps. His visit here at
this : time is said to be without any
political motive, ana only the carry'
jns oat arraniements , made lona be.
. a m. - ' . i - -J
iswsae e.wuoa to spaoa hm winter
m tnia eity. ;as nswsHtte,; KiUne'sl
quarters ' are overrun witb ealieis.
There are few prominent republicans
now in Washington who have not
called to see him since his arrival.
Senators Hiscook and Plumb who
are fresh from a visit to General Har
risr.n, h d several conferences with
Mr. Blaine, and there are any num
ber of rumors in regard to Mr. Blaine
making a visit to the President elect.
One thing is noticeable of lata, and
particularly so sinie Mr. Blaine came
here. That is the very change of
opinion on part of the republic ana
who are opposed to Mr. Blaine enter
ing tbe cabinet. They all believe
ow that he will be asked to take the
portfolio of the Secretary of State,
and that General Harrison could not
do. otherwise without putting an un
mistakable alight upon seven-tenths
f the republican party. You ask
what has brought about this great
change? Several things, but first and
foremast is the fact . that Senator
Sherman, who is perfectly satisfied
with his present position refused to
join in making a fight against Mr.
Blaine, aad the smill number of anti
Blaine republicans are therefore los
ing no time in joining the big proces
sion. Still all this does not prove
that Mr. Blaine will be the next Secre
tary of the State. He may decline
the place if it. be offered him. Many
think he woi 1 1 not accept it.
. The lenaie bill incorporating tbe
Nicaragua Canal Co., has been passed
by the house with several amend
ments, and is now in the hands of a
conference commitUe. The bill a$
passed by the house lucorpo rates a
private company for the construction
and operation of a ship uaual from
the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean. -
through Nicaragua or Co ta Rica.
The company is authorized to issue
bonds ftecured bv mortgage on its
property and rights; must have lis
principal office in New York city,an
a majority of its directors, fifteen in
number, must reside iu the United
States, and its president must be a
citizen and resident oi the Unites
States. Its capital stock is to be
1.1)00,000 shares of $10 each with
right to increase it to 2.000,000.
The sugar interests of Louisiana,
C ilifornia and Kansas have represen
tatives here endeavoring to get the
senate financial committee to do
something for them. They claim
that the 50 per cent reduction iu the
duty on imported sugar made by the
Isenate tariff bill, will, if carried into
effect ruin them. They have many
strong friends, and it has been de
cided by the committee to report an
amendment to the senate bill giving u
bounty for every pound of sugar pro
duced in this country. It is not vet
definitely settled how much that
bounty will be, but it will be decided
this week.
Senator Manderson is very proud
of the letter which he has received
signed by 101 out of 103 republican
members of the Nebraska legislature.
It assures him that "while you are 1
thus detained at your post of duty '
we will also be at ours, and will see
to it that yon a re triumphantly eh c
ted by the Nebraska legislature as
your own successor."
Senator Edmunds resolutions reaf
firming the Monroe doctrine were to
