Was I there, Mr. Hallorau? Why. of
course I was. "Was it a Young Men's
Christian Association? Well, it was
now, and Til tell you why. When a
young man associates himself with a
young lady, and don't trouble himself
about the other young men, but merely
sets them a good example, it's the most
Christian assooiation I know of.
When tho Christian young men of Ath
ens, aye, or of Ephesus, or further back,
of Babylon, went on a Y. M. C. A. excur
sion they always secured the ''girls" as
participants, knowing well that to call a
gathering of young men only, a Christian
Association would insult all the logicians
of tho age. Well, we haven't changed

Nkw Yoiik, Aug. 12. The Suit's Wash
ington letter has the following peints:
It has been an open secret among Blaine's
close friends that he has nover recovered
from the shock that Guiteau's pistol
caused him. He was arm-in-arm with
Garfield when the assassin fired; he saw
the president totter and fall, and ho bo
lieved the next shot would be received by
himself. Tho effect of that shot was to
give him what is known in his own state
as "the hypo." He is convinced he has
organic disease, and although the best
Ehysicians in the country have assured
im he is wrong, he will not believe them.
Last summer ho pained his friends by
asking them how he looked. Somebody
told him tho little pools left by the ebb
tide was a specific for disease. He thinks
it is, and no was often seen drinking
from them and bathing his face and
arms in them. During the past -winter,
when he was visited by prominent politi
cians, who wanted to talk with him about
his nomination, he surprised and sad
dened them by his indifference, and he
told one man he would rather livo in
paaoe than to be elected president and
die in office. For a few days before tho
convention met he seemed to bo like his
old self, and after he was nominated
displayed to those nearest him some of
the energy that was characteristic of him
in the days of his prime, but that did not
last long. After the Democratic conven
tion the old conviction that he cannot be
elected returned, and with it his depres
sion of spirit. He is now said to be
despondent, and those, who are nearest
him believe that unless bis hypochondria
can be shaken off,all work of the canvass
must be done without much help from
him.

"Let us follow tho advice of Lillie De
vereux Blake. Let us use all our influ
ence with our husbands, our beaux and
our brothers to secure tho election of
Grover Cleveland."
Tho ardent speaker was a splendid bru
nette, whose earnest manner and flash
ing eyes proved that her soul was in her
words. "Bravo, bravo!" came from tho
half circle of ladies, young and old, who
listened to her and who formed a gather
ing in nn uptown mansion of woman
suffrage advocates to which a. Journal re
porter had, with great difficulty, gained
admittance last night.
"Not only will his success place iu the
president's chair an upright and honor
able gentleman," cried the beautiful ad
vocate, when the chorus of feminine ap
probation and the applause from dainty
hands had ceased, "but it will enor
mously further our own cause. 1 hava
information from the best authority that
if, after election, wo can convince Mr.
Cleveland that he succeeded through our
efforts he will reward us by giving us
those equal rights with the lower sex for
which we are battling,"
"Dear man," cried an enthusiastic
young lady with blue eyes aud sunny
ringlets, "how I should like to give him a
good old hug!"
"I move that the sergeant-at-arms im
mediately eject that last speaker,' cried
an old ladv. with sour visace, who Glared
savagely through her spectacles at the
impulsive girl, for violating one ot tne
fundamental rules of our organization,
a rule that distinctly forbids all express
ion of regard for that contemptible crea
turo man."
Instantly the meeting was iu confusion.
A primary election is a peace gathering
in companion.
"You nasty thing, you're mad because
no man will'look at you!" "Bold hussy!
I'll tear your bangs all to pieces!" were
some of the shouts that came from rosy
lips, while the chairwoman, n stately
matron of about forty, vainly nipped for
order with her youngest child s rattle.
"I think," came a silvery voice that
rose above the tumult, "that we can all
agree upon this subject. You seem to
forget, ladies, that Governor Cleveland
is a bachelor."'
It was like oil on the troubled waters.
Smiles wreathed the faces that but a
moment before wero clouded with angry
frowns, and almost simultaneously tho
disputants made peace by giving each
other those peculiar pecks which are,
when ono woman salutes another, by
courtesy called kisses, and the buuuv
haired 3oung lady sat down with the
vinegary maiden.
"Picturo to yourself," went on tho
charming brunette, who had been inter
rupted, "the possibilities of our triumph.
Think of one of our number being made
a member of Cleveland's Cabinet. Fan
cy how delicious it would be to sign your
self 'Mary, Attorney-General.' "
"If affairs were conducted as in most
households," broke in an old woman
with corkscrew curls, "I think tho Minis
try of War would be more appropriate
for her."
"Why not the Department of the In
terior?" suggested a recent graduate of a
cooking-school
"I should like to be mada Collector of
the Port," observed a pretty office-seeker.
"I would collect all tho nasty stuff and
throw it into tho river."
"All your wishes may be fulfilled,"
cried Mr. Cleveland's fair advocate, "and
perhaps more. Perhaps the president"
and here she blushed slightly and cast
down her eyes "might even marry ono
of his cabinet officers. There was ono
administration not long ago that was. run
by the president's wife, and I see no "rea
son why there should not bo another. I
therefore move you, Mrs.Chairman," con
cluded the speaker, as sho drew forth a
manuscript from her pocket, "that the
sense of this meeting be expressed in
these resolutiens:
"Besolved, That we repudiate tho in
dorsement of James G. Blaine made by
Dr. Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth
Cady Stanton as being inimical to the
best interests and prejudicial to the
future welfare of the women of tho United
States.
"Besolved, That in Grover Cleveland
we recognize our true friend, and we
pledge ourselves to use all our influence
to elect him.
"Besolved, That Mormonism should
be swept off tho face of the earth, inas
much as one wifo is enough to occupy a
man's time and devotion."
Pretty soprano cheers and every proof
of approbation greeted each of tho reso
lutions, and the meeting soon nfter ad
journed as the chairman received infor

BLAINE AS A PROFESSOR.
Ham and Turkey Enjoyed bj- the Noted
Statesman Late at Sltrht.
A correspondent of the St. Louis Globe
Democrat writes that paper: It was in
the fall of 1851, whilo I was engaged in
running a line between Louisvillo and
Newport, Ky., for a railroad to connect
these cities that I had my office at Dreu
non Springs, Henry counts', Ky., tho seat
of tho Military Institute in which James
G. Blaine was at that timo Latin profes
sor. Having been a graduate tho June pre
ceding, I wasallowed quarters in tho ban
racks with my assistant(also an ex-cadet)
and we were permitted some privileges
which discipline denied the cadets.
One evening, having just returned from
my home, I invited four of the cadets to
a spread of good things, and to prevent
obtrusion set the time at after "tapVT or
10 o'clock, when all lights must be out
aud all in bed.
We were all ready for a set-to, with
keen appetites and a relish for the dainty
tare, wnen a lap at me uoor caused a
stampedo of our visitors, two under the
bed and two behind the wardrobe cur
tain. On opening the door who should our
new visitor be but rror. Blaine, on duty
to see that all lights were out and all
cadets in bed, and being attracted by the
light from our transom, he stepped in to
seo that we had no company, and also to
have n quiet chat about Georgetown.
Of course wo were glad to see him. al-
thougn unexpected at snch a time, and
politely invited him to set up and take a
bite, which ho readily did.
The supper was tempting a boiled
ham (that had been packed a year aeo in
hickory ashes in the old stone smoke
house at nome,; a roast turkey, mckles,
beat biscuit, lemon pies, blackberry jam,
sponge-cake and Catawba wine.
And how ho did enjoy it several slices
of ham and turkey, many biscuits, pie
and several glasses of native Catawba to
wash it all down, and good natured chat
to keep company until 11 o'clock, -and the
professor rose reluctantly to go, remark
ing with a smile: "I am glad I happened
in, but was not that rather a large spread
for only you two?"
I never knew if ho suspected our four
visitors hid in the room, while he was en
joying the feast, but always thought his
eye caught sight under tho wardrobe cur
tain of tho two pair of feet, belonging to
two trembling and hungry cadets who
dared not move, but listened impatiently
to tho professor's chat.
If he saw these pedal extremities he
must quietly have enjoyed not only the
supper but a huge joke on the two "boys,
yet he never let on, for it would have
been his duty to havo ordered them
under arrest for a gross violation of
discipline in having been out after "taps.'
Ono of tho boys is now state treasurer
of Arkansas, and another I beliove, is
ono of the supreme judges of Louisiana.

tho man for a dead-beat, telling him ho
ought to be ashamed of himself, etc., but
the strapped passenger held up his finger
and said:
"Havo 1 been among the passengers
and thrown out hjnts that the boilers of
this boat were rather old and liablo to
explode?'
"Not that I know of."
"Have I been around predicting a
storm, and thus detracting from the
pleasure of tho trip!' "
"Haven't heard of your doing so.'
"Have I slipped to this ono and that
ono to slur your boat for being slow, and
have I said that yon were carrying at
