Just now Secretary Blaine seem* to be principally engaged In showing off his paces to convince bis party t hat he it “feel ing 9t” for a presidential race with any body that may happen along.

Veteran Warner Miller has managed to limp out of the treuch environing the breastworks to greet a coming comrade and welcome Candidate Fassett to full fellow ship as a companion in loneliness and gloom in the chill atmosphere “outside the breastworks.’' Misery always delights to be ‘tiooiable. Because of the recent capture in New j'V'ork of the most dexterous of the “green goods’’ orooka quite a number of abnor mally thrifty citizens throughout the coun try are literally quaking in their shoes for fear of sudden exposure aud consequent prosecution.

The opinion among the democratic leaders in Now York is that Mr. Flower will be elected by a majority of between .’>o,ooo and 40.000. The betting is in his favor, and that is a pretty good indi cation of the prevailing sentiment with respect to the result of li e rlectiou. The campaign is not a particularly interesting one except to the people of the Fate, because comparatively little attention is lieing given to rational issues. The republicans are directing their attacks against Tammany. They are seeking to create the impiession that if Mr. Flower is elected that organization will be as influ ential in the affairs of the 6tate as it is now in tlie affairs of the city, and ihty pretend that there is reckless extiavagance and favoritism in the government of the city. By such means the republicans hope to alarm the country voters and poll an ex traordinarily large vote for Mr. Fassett in j the country districts. The democrats are keeping the world’s fair matter well to the front. Throughout the state, and particularly in New York city, the people feel they were cheated out of the fair by the republican leaders, who did not want the fair in New York because they were afraid the democrat* would con trol it. Mr. Fassett was largely instru mental, It is charged, in preventing New York from being chosen as the site of it. New York shopkeepers and workmen, be lieving they would have reaped a rich har vest from the fair, are very naturally h ostile to Mr. Fassett. It is the general opinion that a big veto will be polled, it is freely predicted that it will be as large as the vote of a presidential year, and as the election is the last state election prior to the presidential election its importance is realized to the fullest ex tent. The chances of the victorious party for carrying the eleotiou next year will be greatly increased by its victory. The republieaus are making more noise than the democrats, but they- are not doing more work, and it is work that tells. The canvass that the democi ats are making is a very thorough one, and there is no good reason for doubting that they will be suc cessful. Mr. Blaine e Health. Has Mr. Blaine recovered his health or is he a very sick niaul That is a question that has not been satisfactorily answered since his return to Washington. About ail the correspondents wno saw him leave his car on*his arrival in Washington agreed that he was a physical wreck, and that there was not the least probability of his being a can didate for the presidential nomination of his party. Other correspondents, who saw him in bis house a .few hours after his ar rival, and talked with him, asserted that be was well and strong and that he appeared much like he did a dozen years ugo. It is difficult to reconcile these conflicting stories. Both sets of correspondents were doubtless honest in expressing their opinions about his condition, but one set of them must have been deceived. Mr. Blaine can not be well and ill at the same time. It is true that the trip from New York to Wash ington may have fatigued him, aud his ap pearance on his arrival in the latter city may not have been that of a man in the enjoyment of excellent health, but such a short railway journey ought not to greatly fatigue a man whose health is good. Mr. Blaine himself is reported as saying that he has entirely recovered his health, aud he ought to know more about his physi cal conditiou thau anybody else, except his physician. The position he occupies with respect to the presidential nomination of his party has much to do no doubt with tbe conflicting stories concerning his neaith which are published in the newspapers. The friends of the President would like to have it appear that Mr. Blaine's health is such that he cannot possibly accept the nomination for President, while Mr. Blaine’s friends have reasons for wanting it believed that bis health has been restored and that he will be his party’s candidate for President if the nomination is offered him. The probabilities are that Mr. Blaine is not a well man, but that his health is a great deal better than it was when lie want to Bar Harbor last summer. If he is ready ill the fact will become apparent soon after he undertakes to discharge the duties of the state department. Looking Ahead An Indianapolis dispatch says that the Gresham men of Indiana have agreed to offer no opposition to the renomination of President Harrison, provided the Harrison men will not offer any opposition to a solid Gresham delegation from Indiana in 1896. Tbe friends of Judge Gresham are looking a long way ahead. The alleged bargain, however, is in their favor, for the reason that it does not appear that Judge Gresham has any chance for getting tbe presidential nomina tion next year. If Mr. Blaine isn't nomi nated it is pretty certain that President Harrison will be. The man President Har rison has to fear is Mr. Blaine, not Judge Gresham. But Judge Gresham’s friends might pre vent him from getting a solid delegation from his own state. A divided dele gation would be a severe blow to the President's pride. To get a solid delegation, therefore, his frieuds make au agreement with Judge Gresham's friends they can well afford to make. President Harrison, if he should be re-elected, would not be a candi date for a third term. He knows he would not be nominated a third time, and he is therefore safe in making any concession to Judge Gresham tbe latter may ask. By way of obeying a familiar scriptural injunction a Pennsylvania negro at the town of Washington heaped hot ashes on the head of bis aged grandmother, taking chances of having some coals of tire iu the lot. Piled upon her accumulation of 100 years and tbe infirmities of deafness and blindness, the hot ashes injured the poor old woman quite seriously, and now that her cruel grandson has been sent to prison tbe may suffer still more for lack of the neoer ■arlet of life.

The Third Party In Ohio. It is the opinion of both democrats and j republicans who have had opportunities for gathering political information in every part of Ohio, that tne "bottom has dropped oaf of the third party movement in that state. Senator Faulkaer.of West Virginia, who has just returned from a stumping j tour through the state, says that the third party vote wiil not exceed -.‘5,000, and e well informed republican, who has visited nearly every county, says it will not er | ceed 15,000. The smaller the third party vote is the lietter the chances of Gov. Campbell for being re-elected are. At least that is the opinion of the democratic leaders in i Ohio. The third party is composed of | democrats and republicans, the majority being republicans. The democrats who abandon it will go back to the Democratic party, beesuse they are not very hostile to that party and are heartily in accord with it on the tariff question. The republicans, however, will not return to the Republican party. They left it chiefly because they ob jected to its high tariff doctrine, and if they do not vote with the third party they will vote with the Democratic party, or will not vote at aIL It is evident, therefore, that the Democratic party has nothing to lose and everything to gain by a small third party vote. A hopeful sign of democratic success is the large number of young men who are enrolled in the democratic ranks. The fathers of many of these young men are re publicans. The sons are democrats for no other reason than that they are opposed to the protective system of the Republican party. They are convinced that the farmers would be much more prosperous if the tariff were greatly reduced. They are tariff re formers, and they naturally gravitate to the Democratic party. And it Is worthy of notice that all through the west, and par ticularly the northwest, the racks of the democracy ore being filled with young men. The silver question, of course, is being discussed, but, as both parties are divided upon it, the effect it has in the campaign is not so very great. It is not an issue like the tariff, and, hence, does not have so great an interest for the voters. Gov. Campbell’s announcement of his willingness to meet Maj. McKinley or any other republican in joint debate has aroused a great deal of enthusiasm in his behalf, and the indications that he will be elected are now regarded as extremely favorable. The Road Congress. It is expected that the road congress, which convened in Atlanta yesterday, will do a great deal toward arousing, throughout the state, a stronger sentiment in behalf of better roads. In the matter of roads Georgia is not perhaps muoh, if any, behind many of the other states, but for that reason it does not follow that her people have a valid excuse for the almost impassable roads in nearly every purt of the state. If the farmers could be made to realize bow greatly their farms would be enhanced in value, and how much they would save in repairs to harness and wagons and in horseflesh by good roads, they would pay their road tax much more willingly and assist in working the roads without grumbling. Iu the November 2'onim Mr. Isaac B. Petter, of New York, has an interesting article on country roads. In bis opinlou tbe cost to the farmer of cartiug his prodace over the “ roughened streak of soil" that is called a highway has much to do with tbe existing agricultural depression. Thera is a gcod deal of foundation for this opinion of Mr. Potter. It is worthy of notice that the farmers in localities where tne roads are good ore, as a rule, contented. They are prosperous, their homea are comfort able and their surroundings are attractive. Communities that want to become pros perous before improving their roads make a mistake. Bad roads prevent them from becoming prosperous. Good roads would aid them in becoming so. Frequent stories about the “ green goods" artiste and their rural victims re cently excited tbe emulation aud cupidity of an alleged detective in North Carolina and caused him to set out to interview the lightning change pecuniary philanthropists with a view to sudden seizure of the funds and the subsequent cleaning out of the whole establishment. But instead of im mediately falling dead when the visitor presented a formidable gun the clandestine financier grabbed a obai r and hit the weapon a swipe that would have been good for two bags on ouy diamond In the league. Clutch ing hold of the aggressive customer he then proceeded to mop up the premises with him. But the Tar Heel caught his second wind just at that point and it was develop ing into an interesting catch-as-catch-can “mill” when the police interposed and marched off both combatants. Both escaped puuishmeut by refusiug to make charges against each other. So Detective Kveritt is out his railroad fare on the scheme besides tbe shaking up he got. Boob-Bah George O. Wortniau wants a wife and wants her iu a hurry. Just now he is located iu Bt. Louis and says he must get married before he returns to his home in Colorado. Beside his matrimonial inter ests he is the agent of the Union Pacific railroad, postmaster, telegraph operator, aud a large mine owner, and his home is at Climax. Long ere now he expected to be on his way back to his Colorado home with a charming bride. But he has encountered bitter disappointment. Homo time ago he answered the matrimonial advertisement of a Louisyille widow,who described herself as youDg and good looking. After she bad accepted him by letter he went to Kentucky to claim his bride. Hut he immediately changed bis mind when he saw her. With some enthusiasm he said she was “ugly enough to sour a batch of biscuits.” Now he is ashamed to go bock without a better half. Pretty bard lines for a bustling Colorado man. Irou Magnate Andrew Carnegie is said to have great faith iu Ainerioan ship yards.

"He got it. In about ten seconds we gath - ered the professor from a miscellaneous mass of chairs, the platform pulpit and school room hrlc-a-brac. We worked on him witn vigor, and in five or six minutes he shows! signs of re turning consciousness. As he opened his eyes his first words were: " ‘You see it didn't phase me.' " Thus Postmaster Was Independent. A story recenll.v published in the Helena Independent, recalls to a prominent Montana mining man au incident in the early days of Pony, which, by the way, is an old camp At the tune referred to the town had about forty people. Of course they needed a postoffice, iliough no one could be found willing to take the responsibility. There was no money In it and the office would be a decided nuisance to the postmaster. However, a ealuon keeper who . more public spirited than his fellow citizens took the office. The offioe consisted of au old tea box, in which all the mall was dumped. The citi/eu would suet over the lot and take wbat belonged to him. One day a gentleman came along, and after glancing at the system turned to the post master. "Don’t you know that It is illegal to allow people to pick out their own mail like that?" he said. "Well, stranger, 1 don’t know as it is any of your business how this office is run," replied the postmaster "But I am a United States postoffice in spector." "Well. In that case,’* said the postmaster, 'we will finish up this postoffice in Pony right now." And be took the tea box and placed it in the middle of tbe road, and. with a good run, came down and kicked it clear across the gulch. "There." he said to tbe officer, “now you go back to Washington and tell the admin let rat ton that tbe accounts are closed up and the post master of Pony has resigned." It Was a Fair Contest. There was a tremendous crowd iu front of the clothing store. A large glass jar had been placed on a pedestal inside the window, says tbe Chicago Tribune, aud this placard con spto'jouslv affixed thereto: ONE KINDRED DOLIutRS WILL US IIIVBN TO ANYBODY WHO CAN GUESS THE NUM BER OF BEANS IN THIS .TAR. A violeut commotion on the outskirts of the cruail attracted the attention of those near tho window, ami somebody called out: "What’s tbe matter?" "This Is a fair and square contest,” veiled a man in reply, “but we dont want no experts on uean ruessin' on that jar, by jacks We've been hustlin' a Boston n.an out ot this crowd Autumn is Queen.

A retail grocer was bemoan ing his failure to get along prosperously in business, and seemed to think it was not his fault. The gentleman to whom he was talking was an ex-grocer who had retired with a snug fortune made out of the business. The cx grocer, in order to illustrate one of the reasons why a bet ter trade was lacking, called for a bottle of Dr. Price’s Flavoring Extract of Vanilla. “ I do not keep it.” said the grocer, “but I have an extract just as good which I can sell at a less price.” Here was a convincing proof that there were very good reasons why trade was poor. The ex-gro cer says, “I was, successful because I kept the best and finest goods and sold them at a fair profit. Poor goods, no matter at w hat price sold, will help to make your trade dwindle. The acquisition or loss of trade goes on silently and steadily in proportion as the grocer selH goods that please those who patronize him. 1 always sold Dr. Price’s Flavoring Extracts, as my customers did not want cheapness the ex pense of quality.” ITEMS OF INTEREST. A large bed of South American poppies in the Union square fountain, in New Y’ork, now ex hibits more than 100 blossoms in the sunshine. The flowers fold their leaves when the sun get* low, and do not usually open them until after sunrise. But it is noticeable that on nights when tbe clouds are heavy and the atmosphere is full of mist, the guileless blossoms unfold tbeir leaves to tbe bright glare of two electric lights that falls directly upon them, apparently under the impression that they have had their uap and the day has come. Some fifty miles from St. Petersburg, upon the lake of Ladoga, there id a smalt granite island entirely occupied by a fortress. It is Schlussel burg, the dreadful prison or state, worse thau the French bastile, uroi-ae than Hie fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul, with Its Troubetzol ami Aleueevsky ravelins aud its underground ceils The most resolute of the revolutionists, men and women, who have taken pan in actual c m spiracies, whom it is not considered safe I . keep in the fortress of Peter aud Paul, are sent there, says Free Russia. The absence of any inhabitants except vLosa employed in ser vice renders it possible, to isolate #>■ prisoners to a degree unattainable anywhere else. No one is allowed to laud upon the island. Sentinels have orders to shoot any one who approaches. If the near relatives of a prisoner inquire concerning him at the police department in St. Petersburg they are some times told "alive,” or "dead." Sometimes no answer is given The soldiers and guards are themselves prisoners who mingle ouly with each other, aud are carefully watched on the rare occasion when they are allowed to make a visit to the mainland It was possible to establish secret communication with even the most jsal ously guarded prisoners in the St. Petersburg tortreis But the fortress of Schlusselburg remained dumb, like the grave it fls, though some of the best known men of the revolution ist party, in whom the greatest inter.wt was fell among the whole body of revolutionists, were kept there. The report has got out that Elsie DeWolfe is mad because some ot the papers have com pared her to Bernhardt, for which she claims she has cause to be indignant. This 1s the fun niest thing Hint has happened in playdum since James Owen O'Conner quarrelled with his wife, bcoause, he said, she did not consider him a greater actor than Edwin Booth. Elsie says that. Sardou scoffed at Bernhardt. "Fancy Para as Fabienne!' ”he exclaimed. • ’She oou id burlesque It capitally, but pay it, never." Truth gives the whole history of .Miss De- Wolfe’s connection with "Thermidor" away as follows: "As for poor Mile. Barter, the leading actress at the Theater Francals, -Sardou was afraid that she would be too strong for the part. No; what tbe author of Thermidor’ wanted was a nicer-weak, little actress who would give no robustness or foroe to the character; just Bimper through it. That was tbe ’Fabieuuo’ that Sardou conceived. The trouble was where to find an aotreas weak enough to play it. ’What bothers me with your American actresses,’he said to Miss lie Wolfe, ‘is tnat they are all so terribly strong.' ’But, rmiu-e,’ she replied, ’I am not terribly strong ' ’You?' cried Sardou; ‘heavensabove us, I didn't know that you could act at all.' ’I can t,'said Miss De Wolf. ’Then you are just what I want for ’Fabienne,’ said the dramatist. Ho gave her the part, and has cabled to ber that Bernhardt and Bartel cannot henceforth be ranked beside her." Perhaps ithere are so many cbaucee for error in tbe transmission of a cable) be meant i to say they could not henceforth be "rank" be side her. A ai'Ei-iAi. meeting of the board of regents of the iSmirhsonian Institution was neld in Wash ington recently to tase action in regard to a gift of SiWO.OtX) made l y Thomas C. Hodgkins of SetaukeL N. Y\. to increase tho i-erman-nt fund of tho institution. Half of the amount Is £iven without restrictions, save that its income is to be used like that of the original he most of .lames Smithson "for tne increase and diffusion of knowledge among men.” The income of the other half is to be applied to the increase aad diffusion of more exact, knowledge in regard tn the pro|>erties of air and its relation to the physical and intellectual wel:are of mankind, the sanu to be effected by the offering of pre miums for discoveries and essays, for which competition is to be open to all the world, or t>Y such other means as may hereafter appear to the regents of the Smithsonian institution as calculated <to produce the most benefi cent results. Mr. Hodgkins, who, like Smith son. was born in England, came to this country about 18-W and was a successful merchant in New York. Since his retirement in 1K59 he has teen living n retired and scholarly life on bis farm on lAing island It is understood tha: it IS bis intention to make still further gifts to the institution It Is believed bv the regents that tbe generous act of Mr. Hodgkins will call at tention to the fact that the bmithsonian In-ti tution, of which the President of the United .Slates IS ex officio presiding officer, and the chief justice is the chance.lor, is. by its pecudar organization, especially well suited to act as a trustee for auy fund intended for the iner-ase and diffusion of knowledge, rot onlv of a sc| OU title nature, but in other fields of intellectual ac tivity.
