For in a reckless way

To make happy his old days

In green figs and apples coiled.

Still there lives another, doctor—

Though her father is In heaven.
She is worth teu thousand clear!

N. Y, Herald.
Some ingenious person out West, pre-
snmably a Republican, attributes to Mr.
Hendricks a letter on the subject of the
Cleveland story which probably Mr. Hen
dricks neveT saw. Mr. Hendricks, who
has been reputed to be a man of good
sense hitherto, should have the benefit of
the doubt on this occasion. If the missive
is genuine and was intended for publica
tion it is the worst blunder of the year, and
shows that candidates for high olfice may
be guilty of worse things than those that
lead to scandal.
Foolhardy Voyagers.
The dory H. T. Bibber, Captain Traynor,
which left New York June 2Gth to cross
the Atlantic, was run into in latitude forty-
five degrees and thirty-nine minutes, longi
tude fifty-one degrees and twelve minutes,
by a steamer in a thick fog at night. The
boat was capsized, one side was badly
stove and her stern was knocked off. She
was picked up by the French schooner
Bergere, and landed at St. Pierre, Mique
lon. yesterday. Traynor is in good health
and intends repairing his boat. The Ber
gere passed a dory on the 18th with two
dead men aboard. 1 he dorv was painted
flesh color, with * No. 4” on her bow. The
men had on oil cloths and rubber boots,
and it is supposed were Americans.
Hoaxing the London Press.
Fleet street, London, was startled yes
terday afternoon by a rumor that Queen
Victoria had suddenly died. All the ma
chinery of the London press was promptly
put In motion to ascertain the facts. Marl
borough House, Buckingham Palace, the
home office and the residence of Sir Wm.
Gull were beseiged by reporters sent to
gather every obtainable scrap of Informa
tion, and telegrams were sent flying in
every direction. A few minutes, however,
showed that the rumor was only a hoax.
Still, the Queen's health is precarious, says
a London cablegram, and her long-con
tinued fits of melancholia arc regarded by
the medical profession as indicating a con
dition of her system which may at any
titrcbecome suddenly worse. These condi-
tionsrendered the report not improbable.
The New York Press.
Washikoton, August 27.—The Times:
‘ The attitude of James G. Blaine toward
great and wealthy corporations interested
in Congressional legislation is revealed as
clearly by his attempt to defeat the Slier
man sinking fund bill as it is by the Mulli
gan letters. He who reads the report? of
the memorable debate in the Senate unon
that bill can see whv Senator Edmunds—
who stood by the aide of Senator Thurman
in the fight against the greatest and most
unscrupulous lobby that had ever besieged
the capitol—urged the men chosen to rep
resent the Republicans of Vermont in the
national convention of 1880 to withhold
their votes from Blaine because he had op
posed righteous legislation proposed for
the purpose of forcing two corporations to
pay the money which the people bad lent
to them.”
The World: “Sensible people are about
tired of the persistent repetition by some
of the feebler rural Blaine organs of the
conundrum, ‘Will Cleveland withdraw?’
Undoubtedly—be will withdraw thousands
of votes from J. Mulligan Blaine, as the
daily increasing strength of the Indepen
dent movement makes manifest.”
The Star: “Daring many years nast the
Republicans have been playing fast and
loose with the alcoholic question. They
have tried to harness the liquor interests
and the Prohibition element to the same
machine, and bMO always indorsed the
tenets of which ever faction controlled the
larger and more earnest vote. The results
are not encouraging to them In their
present emergency. 'Evident.;' they
are mistrusted by the PrtV
hibitionlsts, who have nominated an Inde
pendent ticket, while the Republicm con
trol in several Western States is seriously
jeopardized by the defection of voters op
posed to sumptuary laws. Of course, it is
quite true that the election either of Blaine
or of Cleveland will exercise no direct
influence on the questions agitated by the
Prohibitionists, for these will remain to be
met as before by the Western States. Nev
ertheless, advocates of personal freedom—
especially German-Americans in Kansas.
Iowa and Ohio threaten to bolt the Re
publican national ticket in formidable
numbers by way of retaliating on the local
Republican organizations in these States,
which have indorsed prohibition doctrines
tor the sake of gaining votes during a tran
sient excitement”

General Horatio C. King has had an
other interview with Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher, in which the latter stated that
neither nail, Mitchell or any of the clergy
men who made the original attack on Gov
ernor Cleveland had furnished any facts in
support of their charges. He regarded the
assault on the Governor as one of the
meanest and most daatardl
had happened in his reruemI „„
baseless and outrageous. He authorized
General Kina to aay farther: “I have
nothing more to fay at present but what
can be put in a few lines, and that is, that
I have waited for the report of these stories
about Governor Cleveland—about what lie
did when he was a good deal younger than
he is to-day, and ought not to have done,
and all the gross exaggerations that have
been made by his enemies since that time;
and the statement of gentlemen with
whom I am acquainted, and whose
character I well know, satisfies my
mind that the Governor has bee.i
subjected to gram and outrageous mb
representation, such as never could have
taken place except in the heat of a political
campaign; and that while I forbore and
waited until I had adequate light, I am
satisfied now that Cleveland is the proi*r
man for a candidate for President of ihe
United States, and that as over against
Mr. Blaine s public and political conduct
Cleveland is an angel of light: and how
any man can vote for Blaine, and feel aeon-
■cfenUou* scruple about voting for Cleve
land on the ground of tnoralitv, surpasses
tuy conception, rot I regard Blaine as one
of the moat corrupt men in pecuniary af

loo much, and onr Ohio friends should ex
ert themselves to the utmost to see that a
lull vote is brought oat in every district.”
The Herald: "A survey of the field at
this moment gives promise of a 'tidal
wave' in November against the Blaine
ticket. From all quarters reports cune to
us of very large and increasing Republican
opposition to the Blaine ticket and much
smaller defection from the Democratic
ranks than was at one time feared. There
. according to our reports, a spirit and
determination this fail among therottrs
everywhere which promise very important
result*—a determination to make a change
and see whether the people still control or
whether tbe ‘machine’ politicians really
bavo the country by the throat.
“A correspondent from Illinois writes
us: ‘II people in the East could see what
a revolution Is going on in this State and
Wisconsin, Michigan and Iowa, the friends
of Cleveland everywhere would be greatly
encouraged.’ One of the phenomena o(
the canvass, according to a'l tbo reports
we receive, is the lukewarm way in which
Blaine Republicans arc acting. They 'will
vote for Blaine, but will not work for 1dm,'
they Bay, and this lack of enthusiastic sup
port is sure to tell on the cenrass.”

The White Sheep of th. Binine Family
Chicago Timet,
Neil G. Blaine, who asserts that be ia the
elder brother oi James G., ind carries i lie
documents in his carpet-eack to prove it,
is at the Grand Pacific Hotel, on his way
East. In conversation with a reporter of
the Timet last evening Mr. Blaine cletmed
that he bad been the subject of many nn-
just attacks in the newspapers. '’They
»*y, sir,” said ho, “that 1 am the black
sheep of the family. By . I am the
white sheep. I have never drawn a dollar
oi public money in my life, never had any
political patronage given me. and I don't
expect tl if Jim’s elected. I am
an honest farmer, live four miles from
Salem, in the Willamette valley, Ore
gon, and 1 can pay for what I can get. I
am not seeking notoriety, but I am in
dorsad by Gov. Moody, of Oregon, and tb<
secretary of s’ato, and lt’i a shame
that I should be ridiculed by the papers.
1 saw Major Blaine and visited him on my
way through Montana, and I have another
brother who Is curator in the Department
of Agriculture at Washington. I am not
going Ka.t because he’s been nominated
for President, and I don't want any favors.
I am a good Republican, but I don’t know
anything about politics.’’
Mr. Blaine had evidently been having a
good lime with some friends, and at the
conclusion ol the interview sought toe re
pose afforded by one of the luxurious sofas
that adorn the hotel rotunda, and sank
into a gentle slumber.
