I was very cordially received by the Blaine par¬ ty. The tram bad hardly begun to move before Blaine whispered. “Did the old man intrust you with any wedding presents?” , | 1 replied a,the negative, whereupon Blaine sniffed the air contemptuous ly, ii nd suite •« jgf l lim»n mmtl haveheard.that and he turns the envelopes inside oat ime. ffobedidnt ^^^Xtre^Trenw^s hinweB, and that amounts to precious ht Tbere is no doubt about it..Johnny.

Tlien, again, Cyme, hove you read how Mrs. Jam** G. Btoiae, 8r., baa treated her poorsk* daughter-in-law, the wife of that ewetfe, Jimmy Blaine, Jr.? Single bfeasedness has itadrawbacks* but compared with Mrs. Blaine for a mother-in-law, and Jimmy Blaine, Jr., far a brother-in-law. it is para' dim boiled down. “How iff Secretary Blaine fixed, financially? We have tried to find out, but we can’t,” said Cy McCor¬ mick, changing tbe subject. “Let roe tell you what a Texas feg- the ‘perryquees’ was b—11. Now, the of the Secretary of Statedon’t to innch, but the perry queen. the perryquees, the soft snaps, pick-ups, etc, particularly when Walker Blaine report* officially to old man. are-very numetons fat.” f was then led into a room to ex¬ the wedding present*, which of a pair of new shoes from hrfele’s brother-in-law; a brims from her grandmother s nnefe; half a dozen case knives and a kerosene lamp from the bridegroom; from a weaker New York friend; of kerosene and a bundle of kin¬ from the bride’s mother-in-law: also, n a nutmeg grater and some mantel ornament* from the bride’s friends. Of course, Johnny, all these pres¬ ente were of silver and gold, embossed with fleur-de-lis, and the work is of the richest repousse, particularly the tee nutmeg grater. Even the iron saucepans and the copper wash-boil er in the kitchen are of solid silver. As my invitation read that my presents were requested at the wed¬ ding, o beautiful silrer-mounted bowie-knife from Colonel Snort, of Texas, t Emmons' was Blaine added can to lend the collection It to his “paw,” when the latter has a chance to knife Harrison at the next Nation¬ al Bepnblican Convention. The wedding breakfast, which fol lowed the reception, was served on tables decorated with flowers and pieces montes. Thetnenn was very good. There was a loud call for a toast from Colonel Snort, of Texas t and, havingeonaiderablechampagne on board, I responded very felici¬ tously. Among other things. I said: “Great musters have enshrined love in immortal compositions. They have risen above the scenes of time and, catching the strains of heavenly melody, they have again descended and poured forth those bars of celestial music, like the gen¬ tle toot which a one legged man pumps out of a brass mounted cor¬ net on the corner of the boulevard, before he goes around with a tin cup, whining for pennies.” f also told a very funny story about an impecunious young innn down in Texas marrying an exceed¬ ingly rieh young lady, and at the wedding ceremony whe.i he repeated the words “with all my worldly goods l thee endow,” one of the bride’s relatives whispered cynically out loud: “There goes his carpet bag!” While I was telling this funny story several attempts were made to Inter¬ rupt me. Some of the guests rattled drown my voire. Others coughed, and Secret arv Blaine pulled at my coat tail. 1- never saw such Kid manners in nil my life. I was told afterwards that tin bridegroom said he didn’t see anything funny in that story. 1 noticed that Emmons didn’t laugh, although it was Emmons-ly funny. I drifted then to the tariff ques¬ tion. referring to the fact that tl»e American girt was one local institu¬ tion that didn’t need any protec¬ tion. She could protect herself. I also said something about marry¬ ing for revenue only, and was begin¬ ning to grow eloquent about our infant industries when Blaine senior (Hilled me down, and somebody mov¬ ed the previous question. There was a great many distin¬ guished people present, besides my¬ self. I made the acquaintance of a Western stock raiser who talked to me about a cattfesbow he had visit¬ ed the day before, and who kept on Ming np my glass no matter how often I emptied it. W here was I?
