The river and harbor bill was passed in the house yesterday, butthe Hennepin canal amendment was killed. The chances are the bill will not find as ^smooth sailing in the senate.' ,,

Among the many booms that ave been brought forward since the Ti den declination is one for Senator "Voor hees which is said to be in charge of Congressman Converse, of Ohio,

If Tilden really meant that lie is out of the question he also meant that Democratic victory is out of the question. He says nothing of probable ,. succesB except in connection with his

When a state convention by a vote of 453 to 19 repudiates a "favorite son" as a presidential candidate, as did the California Democrats in the case of Justice Field, it is nearly time for that particular "favorite son" to discover that it ia "time for disappearing."

,sThe president has signed the bill ""which fixes the rate of postage on newspapers mailed by others than publishers. Under the new law a onecent stamp is sufficient for four ounces instead of two, as under the former law. This allows the mailing of laage newspaper and supplement, such as the Sunday or Weekly Express, for one postage.

'The Republican judicial convention of the Twenty-second judicial circuit, comprising Parke and Montgomery counties, was held at Waveland yesterday. Edward C. Snyder, of Crawfordsville, was nominated on the 141st ballot for judge. The contest had been between Peter Kennedy, of Montgomery, aud A red White, of

Parke county, but ^according a special dispatch to the Express two other candidates, Humphries and Burford, of Montgomery, received enough votes to prevent the nomination of either White or Kemiedy. Finally the Montgomery delegates cast their entire vote, enough to nominate, for Snyder. Naturally then Parke county received the nomination for prosecutor, Mr. Frank Howard, the present prosecutor being nominated by accL^'tion. Both Mr. Snyder and Mr.

HowaT#are

capable men for the offices for which they have been nominated. According to" all reports from Montgomery couuty the nomination of Snyder will harmonize the party and it gives assurance of an increased majority.

It is worth while to call attention to the fact that many of "the leading newspapers" which have bolted the nomination have never supported a Republican candidate for president, Among these are: New York Herald, Evening Telegram, Boston Herald, Springfield Republican, Philadelphia Record, Philadelphia Times, Chicago Times, and Chicago News. The New York Evening Post has always been a reliable Republican paper but it has passed under tbe control of Horace White, who supported Greeley, Tilden and Hancock. Harper's Weekly has been considered a Republican paper, but if it can furnish no better argument for its coarse in

thiB

campaign

than the editorial declaration of opposition to Mr. Blaine it can not do the party barm. After admiting that four fifths of the Republicans wanted Mr. Blaine nominated the Weekly says "honest Republicans ought to be alarmed" by the nomina tion. This sort of pharasaical cant will take no votes from Mr. Blaine. It merely places Harper's Weekly in the attitude of saying it is more honest and wise than four-fifths of the Republican party which is bosh, pure and simple.

Even his admirers do not believe Uncle Sammy capable of telling the truth. The St. Louis Republican, an all the time Tilden organ, says.the letter means acceptance. Prominent local Democrats here Baid yesterday that he would accept the nomination and found between the lines of tbe letter that trickery which has won their ad' miration for him in the past. The Gazette, commenting on the letter, refers to Tilden's name as "a tower of strength," to him as possessed of unequalled "executive ability," to his "lofty idea of the duties and responsibilities of public office." In his letter he said: "I am, therefore, constrained to say, definitely, that I cannot now assume the labors of an administration or a canvas. but submit (o the will of my God in dfeeming my public career forever closed." But the Gazette

Bays:

One thing, however, is plainly the duty of the Democracy, to which Mr. Tilden, "BVbu In lils dtgnlflcd and statesmanlTBo retirement, has been an Inspiration, ani that is to unanimously nominate the old ticket, and then await, during the interval from a day's to an evening's session, his acceptance or rejection of the call of his party and his country.

Old Sam Ward.

Springfield Republican. It is hard to understand that old Sam Ward is dead, the "king of the lobby,'" as the newspapers and politicians called him.

He and Wiliam Henry Hurlbert used to undecBtand one another perfectly. They lived in a little world of their own, very agreeable and somewhat outitf the world. It was they who accepted Oscar Wilde and Mrs. L&ngtry wheja society would not accept thom. Waril wanted to be a literary man, an authotr —like his'sister, Mrs. Howe, and his nephew, Mr. Crawford. But there 5s slight merit in the volume of verses which he had published last year ill London.

The Graves of tbe Great Leader's Father and Mother—Boyhood Days—Keminisoenees of School Life—The Blainei, GUleqties and Ewings—An Early Boma&oe-

PHILADELPHIA, Penn., June 12.—I stool to-day,, wrote Colonel Frank A. Burr to the Press from West Brownsville, where Mr. Blaine'sjcandidacy was not a subject of current comment, beside two old graves in this village that are in the shadow of the little Catholic church, that quickly recalled to me Longfellow's beautiful lines on old St. David's, church at Radner. The marble that marked them was much newer than the mounds, and the surroundings impressed me with tbe thought that a dutiful and reverent son had, years after, when means and opportunity came, that were wanting when death called father and mother, placed a fitting monument to mark the spot where they slept. It is a plain, unpretentious stone that marks these graves, and it was the names only that attracted my attention. They, were those of Ephraim L. Blaine and Maria Giliespie Blaine. "Who were these two people in life?" I asked of an old gentleman who had wandered along with .me to this quiet city of the dead. "Why, they were the father and mother of James G. Blaine. I knew them both well.. Eph Blaine and I went to school together. He was one ot the founders of this town, and was 'squire here for many years. He was elected protbonotary of the county in 1842, and moved to Washington, the county seat. He married Maria, a daughter of old Ncal Gillespie, the smartest man in this whole section, and ftom his people James Gillespie

Blaine derives his middle name. Tbe Gillespies were among the most prominent families in the state. The seal of Nature'e nobility was stamped upon them, one and all. The men. were brave and stalwart as strong in character, too, as they were stout of, limb. The women were very handsome, and carried themselves as proudly ai though the blood of a hundred earls were coursing through .' their veins. The beauty of old Mrs. Blaine, James' mother,' passed into a proverb. Even in her decrepit age she preserved much of her early attractiveness, and her eyes were like a hawk's, as clear and piercing then as in the days of her budding womanhood. This was a peculiarity of her family, and sheitransmitted it to all her children. The Gillespies were ardent, intense Catholics, and made their religion the leading .feature of their lives. Neal Gillespie owned a good deal of land about here, and Eph Blaine built the brick house you sefe yonder, or a portion of it, after his marriage with Miss Gillespie. There their first child, James, was born in 1830. I remember hitn very well when he was a lad and used to paddle about on the river and make mud pies along its banks. He was a bright lad. THE CHILD WAS FATHER TO THE MAN. "I remember one little story about him, which I often liearj. in those days, and which is interestihgas showing how truly in his case the child was father to the man. When he was but a little toddler, so to speak, sonie laborers were engaged digging a well on his father's premises. The future statesman was caught one morning peering down in the excavation, and one of the men, with the idea of frightening him and thus preventing him from again putting himself in danger, thrust his shovel toward him and made all sorts of ugly faces. Jim ran away, but only to nurse his anger and await an opportunity forrevenge. Venturing to the well a day or two after he had been driven away, he found the men working away at the bottom. Improving the opportunity, he seized a clod of earth and hurled it with all his little might at the head of his unsuspecting enemy, with the consolatory remark: 'There, take that.' Clod follewed clod in fast succession, with accompanying expletives, until the men were fairly beside themselves with rage, and with the fear that the desperate child might take it into his head to use some of the stones lying about him as messengers of wrath more effective than mere lumps of earth Their shouts, however, brought his mother to the scene, and the little avenger was unceremoniously hustled off to the house. That was the old blood asserting.itse)f. A Gillespie or a Blaine never turned his back upon a friend or foe.

HIS PARENTS.

That's the new packet James G. Blaine that runs from here to Pittsburg. The two people who sleep in this grave yard little thought when they died that they'd have a son big enough to have a packet named for him. They died when Jim was young, and they didn't leave anything for him to start with, either. Eph. Blaine was a rich man once. His grandfather left bitn some $30,000, but he spent it having a good time. He was not a money-saver, but believed in enjoying tbe world as he lived. He used to drive fine horses, and drive'em tandem, too. Old Neal Gillespie used to call him 'My gig and tandem son in-law.' The Gillespies weren't slow either, but Eph Blaine led 'em all in this country. It's no wonder Jim Blaine is smart. He comes of good stock on both sides. All the Gilles pies were smart. Neal Gillespie was tbe biggest brained man in all this country."

RICHES HAVE WINGS

"Do the Blaine's or auy of the relations own the old homestead?" "No, indeed! It's long since passed into strange hands."

father of the man of whom I am now writing, rich. The story goes that both, spent their mn»«y in having a good time. The grandfather spent many years in Europe, and .retained to this country only when lie became penniless. There seems to have been good feeling from the first between the Blaine and Gillespie families, and there seems to have been a special care to intermingle the family names as each son was bora.

FAMILY HISTOST.

The old man whom I encountered in the first part of this story, told me

thai nearly every in the, Btofne 1 DELEGATES TO THE

family, as in the Gillespie, wore the CONVENTIONS. family name in some part of his aotogtaph. The Gillespie family seemed to run more to girls than boys, and it seent6dto their fortnnes with strong men. The daughter .:whel was next in age to Maria, who married Ephriam A. Blaine, was wedded to the famous Tom Ewing, of Ohio, when he was a poor lawyer in Lancaster, Pa. That's how he -became an uncle of James G. Blaine, and the names of Blaine and Ewing became joined. There is a tradition here that when old Tom Ewing %as secretary

the interior

Blaine applied to him for a clerkship and the old man sent him to Kentucky to earn an- honest living teaching school. This association of the name of Ewing with that of Blaine has given rise to the

Btory

that tbe Ewing

family of Ohio helped James G. Blaine to an education. A might as well destroy this fiction "by telling the facts. A snort drive brought me to Washington, the county 8eatof this county,and one of the first men I met was Major John H. Ewing/ an old veteran, now past four-score years. "I married the siBter of Ephraim L. Blaine. He and I went to school together over in yonder college, and 1 knew him nearly all his life. He was a leader in the mischief of. the school, and fonti of

SCHOOL DAYS.

Mr. Gow, the editor of one of the village papered who was Blaine's classmate, speaks thus of his school days "Yes, Blaine graduated in the class of '47, when he was only seventeen years old. I graduated in the same class. We were thrown a great deal together, not only in the school but in societyBe was a great favorite in the best social circles in the town. He was not noted as a leader in his class. He could learn his lessons too easily. He had the most remarkable memory of any boy in school, and could commit and retain his lessons without diffieul ty. He never demonstrated in his youth, except by his own wonderful memory, any of the great powers as a debater and thinker that lie has since given evidence of."

A BIT OF ROMANCES I

Almost his first occupation alter graduating was as a teacher in the Deaf and Dumb Asylum in Philadelphia. Why he went from there to Kentucky to teach school has been

question

often asked, but never answered. There is a tradition here that there is but one being who knows. Like other boys he had his friendships and his loves, and it would be strange if he had grown up—for he is said to have been as handsome a boy as he is a man —without leaving some impression upon the hearts of the maidens of the neighborhood. If there is one person who can tell, and there is, it has been and doubtless will -be lorevor kept as a sealed book so far as the details are concerned. It was one of those youthful misunderstandings that often come to two people wno hope to start out on the voyage of life together and are separated by an angry sea before (hey meet. There is not even a suggestion as to which of the two were at fault for the parting of the ways that led their life journeys into different paths. The party most disappointed has never wedded, but has rather devoted her life to self-denying charity for twenty years, and by the irony of fate in the capital of the nation has she followed the path of an undeviating Christian life, devoted to careful attention upon suffering humanity, doubtless watch ing with a careful eye his steadily-ad vancing steps, and perhaps often sitting under the spell of his eloquence without his ever knowing that the being whose presence was once the chief charm of life was even living.

A Paris Gambling: House. Paris Morning News. The police penetrated last nightinio a secret and strangely exclusive gam bliDg house, No. 13 Rue des Martyrs, kept wholly for the patronage of women of both the great and the demi monde. Tbe interior was most sumptuously furnished and decorated. and the table of play, where baccarat WHS displayed, was also a table of feasting which a Silenns might have coveted. Two peace officers were ambushed behind the door at the entrance, and as each fair client entered she was informed that she must remain until their visit was over. Each woman came alone and not a man was in the house except the officers while they were there Tnere we:re a number of scenes of "nerves" and swoon ing.

AYER'S S

Hair Vigor

restores, with the gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray hair to a natural, rich brown color, or deep black, as may be desired. By its use light or red hair maybe darkened, •.liiti hair thickened, and baldness often, though not always, cured.

It checks falling of the hair, and stimulates a weak and sickly growth to vigor. It prevents and cures scurf and dandruff, and heals nearly every disease peculiar to the scalp. As a Ladles' Hair Dressing, the VIGOR is unequalled it contains neither oil nor dye, renders the hair soft, glossy, and silken in appearance, and imparts a delicate, agreeable, and lasting perfume.

MR. C. P. BRICHKR writes from Kirby, O.. Julu 3,1882: Last fall my hair commenced falling out, and in a short time I became nearly bald. I used part of a bottle of AYER'S HAIR VIGOR, wnieh stopped the falling of the hair, and started anew growth. I have now a full head of hair growing vigorously, and am convinced that but for the use of your preparation I should hare been entirely bald."

J. W. BOWEN, proprietor of the McArthur (Ohio) Enquirer, says: "AVER'S HAIR VIGOR is a most excellent preparation for the hair. I speak of it from my own experience. Its use promotes the growth of new hair, and makes it glossy ana soft. The VIOOR is also a sure cure for daudruff. Not within my knowledge has the preparation ever failed to give entire satisfaction."

MR. ANGUS FAIBBAIRK, leader of the celebrated Fairbairn Family of Scottish Vocalists, writes from Boston, Mass., Feb. 6, 1880: Ever since my hair began to give silvery evidence of the change which fleeting time procureth, I have used AYKR'S HAIR VIGOR, and BO have been" able to maintain an appearance of youtlif ulness—a matter of considerable consequence to ministers, orators, actors, and in fact every one who lives in the eyes of the public."

MRS. O. A. PRESCOTT, writing from 18 Elm St., Charlestown, Matt., April 14, 1882, says: Two years ago about two-thirds of my hair came off. It thinned very rapidly, and 1 was fast growing bald. O11 using AYKR'S HAIR VIGOR the falling stopped and a new growth commenced, and In about a month my head was completely covered with short hair. It has continued to grow, and is now as good as before it fell. I regularly used but one bottle of the VIGOR, but now use it occasionally as a dressing."

We have hundreds of similar testimonWi to the efficacy of AYER'S HAIR VIGOR. It needs but a trial to
