public the results of his investigation, and then renew his discussion of the propriety of withdrawing Mr. Cleveland’s name from the ticket? BLAISE IN KENTUCKY. Incidents in the Early Life of the Republican Leader. Louisville Commercial. Mr. Isaac H. Trabue, the Greenback elector from this district, attended the military school at Georgetown, Ky., when Jaraea G. Blaine was professor of languages at that institution. He remembers Blaine very well and is & great admirer of the plumed statesman, although his endearment to the Greenback canse will compel him to vote for Ben. Butler. A short time ago Mr. Trabue wrote to Mr. Blaine, to 6ee if the latter still remembered him. A few days ago he received the following answer: [Personal] — Bar Harbor, Me.. July 28, 1881.— My Dear Sir: Your letter has given me much pleasure. 1 remember yon very well, indeed. Was it not your brother who made such a spirited canvass for Conferees against Morehead while you were at school? I remember, also, two very beautilul young ladies of your name—cousins of yours, I think —who visited Georgetown and turned the heeds of half the young mien in Scott county. Are they living! Perhaps they are grandmothers by this time, for the year I saw them was 1849.

Thanking you for your kind note, I remain very sineerely yours. Jamks G. BnAUtE. Isaac H. Trabue, Esq., Louisville, Ky. Mr. Trabue showed the letter to a Commercial reporter yesterday. “So you knew Mr. Blaine personally?" asked the reporter. “Yes, I was a cadet under Major Blaine at Thornton Johnson’s military school at Georgetown. He was a scholar, a gentleman, and one of the most dashing officers in uniform I ever saw. Os course, he was a lady-killer, but he could not help it." “Do you know anything of the alleged scandal in which he is said to have been implicated at Georgetown with Miss Stanwood?”

“I never hoard anything of the kind until the publications were made in the newspapers. If there ever had been anything wrong, we boys would certainly have heard something of it, for ■there was nothing of a sensational uature that escaped us. I read the other day the slanderous statement of a woman calling herself Mrs. Brown. It reads like an exaggerated lie manufactured out of a dirty blanket The story told by this woman won't stand fire. She says she loaned the Major SIOO. She says she never saw anything wrong herself; all she saw vVas through a looking-glass —a magnifying glass of course. She argues like a lawyer who had a bad case. He forgot his subject, and so did Mrs. Brown. She ought to he ashamed of boasting of her own pedigree as she has. No one could have written like Mrs. Blown but Mrs. Brown. I don’t believe that Major Blaine owed her the $100.” "Was Miss Stan wood a handsome young lady?” "Yes, indeed; and she was talented, accomplished and elegant She was Major Blaine's peer in every particular. They were undoubtedly a handsome couple. Major Blaine was the “catch” among all the young ladies in that vicinity, and because Miss Stan wood carried off the prize, all the tattlers and. gossipers were jealous.” "Miss Stan wood held a position in the same •school with Blaine, did she not?” “Not exactly. Thornton Johnson ran two schools—a military school and a female school. Blaine was engaged at the military and Miss Stanwood occupied the position of music teacher in the female school. Miss Stanwood came to Georgetown before Major Blaine did, and went back to Massachusetts before he left the school.” “Did Miss Stanwood keep company with other young men besides Mr. Blaine?” "Oh, yes. There were three of the Stanwood girls, I believe, and they all had a great many suitors. In Georgetown there was a young law yer, whose name I have forgotten, who was the son of a chair-maker. He was very attentive to Miss Stanwood, and the hoys at school used to aing a song about him like this: 1 ‘ 'Higher and higher the chair-maker’s son Courted Miss Stanwood while she was young. ’ " “But the ehair-raaker’s son did not get her,” said the reporter. "No. it seems not.” repeated Mr. Traboe. “Db you know when Blaine and Miss Stan wood were married?” “I do not.”

A Chicago Man oa the Slander. Tribune, Yesterday. James Lane Allen, who Ims just returned from Kentucky, was a-ked by a reporter whether he made any inquiries about the Democratic attack on Elaine's wife and family, and, the reply being ‘ “yes,” a iurtlier question was put as to the result of his inquiries. “Major Blaine, as he is known there,” said Mr. Allen, “was. as you know, a tutor at what was called the Western Military Institute,at Georgetown, and a foot-note in the catalogue of tho institution for the college year of IM7-48 contains this: • ‘Mr. Blaine graduated No. 1 in a class of thirty-seven, and has the highest testimonials from eminent men as to character and qualifications.’ He was nineteen year* of aee then, and had just graduated at Washington (Pa. j College. There was in connection with the institute a female college, which was moved to Millersbure when the institute was moved to Blue inch Springs, whence it went to Drenou Springs. I had interviews with leading men in Georgetown —Captain Barlow, Judge Stephenson, Dr. •Stephen C. Gano, and others—and they all agree in saying that when Mr. Blaine came there he was of fine appearance, cultivated in manner, and a smooth, easy talker. He was very popular among the young men who attended the school and the young people of the town. At thrtime he taught in the institute Miss Caroline, Miss Sarah and Miss Harriet Stanwood were teachers in the female college. An old lady with whom I talked gave me glowing account's of them. They were accomplished women, Miss Harriet, now Mrs. Blaine, being the brightest. Mr. Blaine and Miss Harriet came from the same section of the country, and seemed to be fond of each other, although the old lady remembered no marked attention chi his part. As to the scandal, no one in Georgetown knew anything derogatory to Mr. Blaine, and I was informed by prominent journalists that there were no facts to be got at MiUereburg. The only eriticism I heard upon the conduct of the young couple was that they were in the habit or taking long moonlight wafks within the limits of the town, which, I need only say, is old-fashioned, and contains now about 1,000 people. Although the Democratic attack on Mr. Blaine's character was on every tongue, no one could substantiate it, and many declared their utter disbelief in it. The entire press of the State indorses the position of the Conner Journal, that Mr. Blaine has the sympathy and suppert of every true Kentuckian in his war upon the Indianapolis Sentinel. To show how false rumor is, I was shown the room in Mr. Blaine’s bowrdrng-honse where ‘he was married,' and though I told ray guide—a woman —that the ceremony was performed in Pittsburg, she wouldn't permit me to rob the house of its associations,’ After a caretul investigation—and I saw many of the prominent men and journalist* of the State—l was convinced that nothing more to base the scandal upon th.fT' such imprudent acts as taking moonlight walks in an oW-fashioned country village. A man most he loyr and mean indeed who would manufacture not of acts proceeding from the purest and highest of human instincts a story to debase and degrade another’s character. As to the Georgetown authorship of it, I found tlmt ‘the oldtrme eadet’ and ‘the highly-respectable farmer' was, In the language of a prominent citizen of the place, ‘a loafer, a drunken scoundrel, and a man who hasn’t done an honest day’s work rn twenty years. ’ •

POLITICAL NOTES. . Why Irishmen Should Not Tote with the Daiaocratio Party. Irinh World. Suppose an English fleet should anchor it* New York harbor next week, and open Ore on the city as an English fleet opened flee an. Alexandria two years ago, and suppose the run of shell and abet did mot cease until the metropolis of America was one heap of ruins, what a shout for revenge would g up from every part of the land at the news was been* on the wings of the telegraph. Jit lesa than a week am army should be In the fleUt oeepared to make England pay dearly for

this outrage, and yet the amount of wealth destroyed ami the injury inflicted on the country by such a bombardment would be slight compared with the damage that will be done to the United States if the free-trade policy of the independent Republicans and their Democratic allies should ever prevail. The destruction of New York by an English fleet would paralyze trade at only one of its centers. But the triumph of the free-trado policy would mean- an industrial paralysis throughout the length and breadth of the land. What would we think of an invitation to Irish-Americans to man the guns of the invading English fleet we have spoken of? Yet if such an invitation was completed and Irish-Americans helped the English to lay New York in ashes, they would be rendering not half the service to England they will render if they act with the Democracy. Rev. George W. Pepper in Vermont. St. John.burr (Vt.) Journal. Among the well-known and popular IrishAmerieans who have revolted against Cleveland and declared for Blaine and Logan is Rev. Geo. W. Pepper, of Ohio. He is taking part in the canvass in Vermont, and his speeches are rigorous and effective. He speaks intelligently on the necessity of protection to American industries, of American citizenship and nationality, and makes a strong appeal to all Irish-Americans to vote for Blaine and Logan. He presents a bill of wrongs against Governor Cleveland, in the name of the workingmen of America, saying:

“I impeach Grover Cleveland in the name of the great army of workers who have built our mills and factories, onr docks and our railways, for having insulted them in his veto. I impeach Grover Cleveland in the name of 15,000 car-driv-ers and conductors in New York city because he vetoed the humane law reducing the hours of labor from sixteen to twelve. I impeach Grover Cleveland for his inhumanity in vetoing the wise measure abolishing child labor in the mills. I impeach Grover Cleveland for the high crime of prostituting his high office to dictate to th’e people of New York who should represent their interests in the State Senate. In a word. I impeach Grover Cleveland for being in sympathy with that political party which, for years, has been hostile to the rights of labor; that party which proscribed the freedom of speech in the South; that party which, in the tremendous honr of the Nation's peril, declared the war a failure. Grover Cleveland is a candidate without the courage of the soldier, the experience of the statesman, and without the soul of the patriot.”

Kansas Prohibitionists Fail to Nominate a Ticket. Lawrence, Kan., Sept 2..—The Prohibition Stats convention met in this city to-day. About 150 delegates were present with credentials, and of this number about fifty were permitted to participate as members of the convention, the remainder being refused because they refused to pledge themselves to support St John for President, A. M. Richardson presided ove r the convention. The following presidential district electors were nominated: S. L. North, E. Clark, Thos. Wilson, Theo. Owen, C. R Stevens, T. C. Miller; at large, J. S. Stockton, M. V. B. Parker. It was moved to nominate a State ticket with John A Martin at the head. The motion was lost It was then moved to turn the matter of a State ticket over to the State convention, to report in October, but it was lost. It was then moved that the convention indorse John A. Martin, the Republican candidate for Governor, but that was lost A resolution, was then passed as follows: "Resolved, That we believe it to be to our beat interest to waive our power of nominating State officers and leave the matter to each member to act individually, and that we nse onr best endeavor to secure the election of the National Prohibition, ticket.

A Political Advertisement. Milwaukee, Wis., Sept. 2.—T. A. Chapman, the weE-known dry goods merchant of this city, has prepared an advertise moat for the city papers that has attracted a great deal of attention. The two leading dailies devote editorials- to the “ad,” or rather what it contains. The Evening Wisconsin declares it to be one of the best Republican campaign documents that has been issued this year. The "ad” consists of a showing of the prices of cotton goods in 1800 and 1881, respectively, and proves that better goods at lower prices are obtainable now than twenty years ago; also that the wages of working men are 25 per cent, higher than in 1860. The closing paragraph of the advertisement reads: “We note that the price of wheat in Milwaukee and Chicago m December, 1860, was as tow as 63 cents, and at present it is worth about 78 and 86 cents. The wages of the mechanic and laboring man are fully 25 per cent, more than in 1860. The above shows that they are far better off and can buy more for $1 of all manufactured products than they could at any previous time in the history of the country.” The Texas Republicans. Houston, Tex., Sept. 2.—The Republican State convention assembled at noon to-day. After effecting a temporary organization and appoihting a committee on credentials, the eonventioned adjourned till 3 o'clock. On reassembling a contest and long debate followed over makeup of the committee on resolutions and permanent organisation. A number of speeches were made by colored delegates, generally favoring the endorsement of Wash J ones, the independent candidate for governor. Strong delegations from Dallas, Grayson and other counties 'oppose the endorsement of Jones, and demand that a straight Republican ticket be put in the field. After many speeches on this issue, and indorsing the Republican national ticket, the convention finally agreed on the remaining committees and adjourned unttl to-morrow. There was a grand torchlight procession to-night, after which there were meetings in several parts of the city. About all the well-known Republican politicians of the State are in attendance. Reception to General Logan. Madison, Wis., Sept. 2.—General Logan and party arrived here at 7 o’clock. A procession was formed at West Madison depot, and, headed by a company of veteran soldiers, escorted Logan to Governor Rusk’s residence. Great crowds fathered along the line of inarch, and at Capital ’ark the streets were almost blocked with people. This evening a reception was givqn by Governor Rusk and wife, and General and Mrs. Logan in the Assembly chamber. The hall was gaily decorated with flowers and large pictures of Blaine and Logan were exhibited. General Logan’s portrait being surrounded by the flags of Wisconsin regiments that were in his command during (die war. The reception lasted about an hour, during which time several thousand persons paid their respects to the vicepresidential candidate.

Mr. Blaine and the Women. Lillian Whiting's Bar Harbor Letter. I fauey that Mr. Blaine recognizes the value of the aid women are bringing to this canvass. Elizabeth Chdy Stanton, - Mary A. Livermore, Luey Stone, and a vast army of gifted women everywhere, are bringing to’ this campaign an earnestness and an enthusiasm that is anew element in American politics. While I would not venture, from an interview that was merely a personal and private one, to relate Mr. Blaine’s Jirrvate conversation, yet I can hardly refrain rom noting the high and generous appreciation and the noble recognition that he gives to these eminent women, whose words have weight, and whose characters stand for all that is highest and of best repute in womanhood.

The- TUden Resolutions. New York, Sept. 2—The committee appointed to present Mr. Tildan the Chicago convention resolutions will meet to-morrow to decide upon the method of officially informing Mr. Tilden of the convention’s action. It is probable that m compliance with Mr. Tilden's wish they will he sent by mail A Lady Stamper for Indiana.

THE FRANCO-CHINKSB WAR. General Millot Superseded A Complaint from tlie Representatives of the People. Paris, Aug. 2.—Ths report is denied that the resignation of General Campenon, Minister of War, was impending. General Millot, who has had command of the French troops in Tonquin, will re-embark at Saigon on the 22d instant, on his return to France. His successor will be appointed by live Cabinet Council after Prime Minister Ferry's return from Saint Denis. Le Temps urges the rovernment to give command of the French troops there to officers holding important positions iu

the country and accustomed to handling large bodies of troops. The preparations are completed for the dispatch of 2,500 marines and 6,000 soldiers to China, ghich circumstances render necessary. A delegation of the extreme Left sent a letter to President Grevy pointing out that France is at war without vote of the Chambers and expending money without the sanction of Parliament The disposition of the country's forces, the letter continues, is weakening the national defenses, and personal power is being affirmed with an obstinacy and audacity unworthy of a republic. The Constitution remains a dead letter, and the government acts without informing or consulting the representatives of the people. The letter concludes by demanding the coavocation of the Chambers, and appealing to Grevy’s high political probity. It is believed Grevy will simply acknowledge the receipt of the letter, making no further reply. Letters from Tien Tsin state that Li Hung Chang, viceroy of Pee Chi Li, has been degraded from his hign position and deprived of his titles. The present condition of affairs is most trying, and it is declared that a state of war would be ■ preferable. Frenchmen living there expect to be expelled at any hour.

PEEPING TOMS OP VIENNA. \ The Scandal Created by a Handsome Woman Making Her Toilet. London, Sept 2.—The public moralists of Vienna have been much shocked at the conduct of Frau Rose, the handsome spouse of Hei r Schaffer, who keeps an outfitter’s shop in the lower part of his house. The front windows .of # the residence 'command the street, while those in the rear look out on a private garden. The lady was summoned before the public authorities, charged with having committed an offense against public decorum and morality, by appearing in a semi-clad condition at the back windows, where she was observed by the neighbors somewhat under the conditions of Venus rising from the sea. Frau Schaffer is said to be the handsomest woman in Vienna, and the complainants behoved that a repetition of the offense would he fatal to the morals of young men in the neighborhood. The defense was that tho lady was simply making her toilet with the window open. The judge summed up the case with great deliberation. "If,” said he, “she had looked out of the front window, the scandal would have been open and public, and an offense against the law would have been committed, but as she only appeared at the.hack windows, the case was different.” The fair defendant was dismissed with a warn mg and recommended for the future to pull down her blinds before commencing her toilet.” FOREIGN MISCELLANY. The Proposed Settlement of the Mexican Debt in England. London, Sept 2.—The English committee of Mexican bondholders approved of the general proposals for the settlement of the Mexican debt submitted by Nootzlro, the agent in England fpr the Mexican Treasury.

London, Sept. 2. —At Suaknn the rebels removed another mine placed by the troops near the town, and H was afterward seen to explode in the enemy’s camp.

Five thousand British troons could easily inarch across from Dongola to Berber. Advices from Limasol, on the Island of Cyprus, state that the British squadron in the Mediterranean has proceeded to Alexandria. It is reported that the rebels at Berber are selling the population <4 the city into slavery, and the women are subjected to horrible atrocities.

A Physician’s Experience In India. Chicago News. Dr. H. M. Scudder read a paper on the “Re cent Treatment of Asiatic Cholera in Vogue of Late Years in India" at the meeting of the Chicago Medical Society at the Grand Pacific, last night “During nine years’ residence in India,’* said he, “I passed through four cholera epidemics. Having in charge one of the cholera sheds, I had an opportunity to use many different remedies. In India eholera is considered an infectious disease, somewhat contagions, though not readily communicable by personal contact with tlie sick. Those who come into close contact with the disease, however, are

more likely to take it than those who do not. In the earlier symptoms of cholera I used ten or fifteen drop doses of spirits of camphor in dessert spoonfuls of hot brandy. In the stage of diarrhea, two parts of cMorodine with one of camphor, thirty drops to a dose, every two or three hours, or plain morphine in alternation with an aromatic sulphuric acid mixture, were used. In the stage of invasion, dry heat was applied, with mustard-plasters on the stomach. We resorted without delay to the administration of morphine, or inorpbine combined with chloral, by hyperdermic injections. When the stage of collapse is reached wo enforced perfect quiet and the horizontal position, annointed the limbs with hot oil, and administered atropia hypodermically. We burned sulphur in the patient’s room, or in place of it administered sulphuric acid, with glycerine, in small doses during the first and seeond stages the disease." The Bed Cross Congress. Geneva, Slept 2.—The Bed Crow Congress, •pened here te-day< Only four- French delegates are present; the number of German: delegates is thirty-six.

THE GREEDY EXPEDITIOX Revelation of the Diaries as Read by an Army Official Who Has Seen Them. Washington, D. C., Sept 2.—An army official, who recently read portions of the diaries of the Greely party said, to-day,that they reveal a more serious condition of affairs than the survivors will admit. It seems that from the beginning of the expedition there were disputes between members of the party. These led to a division which existed at the time of the rescue. When found there were two parties, one in charge of Sergeant Long, and the other in charge of Sergeant Brainard, and they were living as separate as two tribes. Lieutenant Greely, while an invalid, and during the last few monthsbf arctic life, was in the party headed by Brainard. who cared for him daily. The diaries show that stealing rations was a common practice. One says that Dr. Pavey stole them whenever opportunity offered, and that he sometimes took such as were apportioned to indisposed members of the party. At other times, when men. were sent to shoot birds and were successful, the diaries say that not all the birds killed were taken to camp, but some were concealed in the suow for the future use of the hunters. No mention is made of cannibalism in the portions of the diaries that have been read, and the officer who has seen them refuses to say whether or not any other member of the party than Private Henry is reported to have been shot. Armyofficials say the contents of the diaries will uot be made public until an- investigation is ordered.

Dhorder at a Funeral. Washington, Sept. 2. —The funeral to-day of Rev. John Brooks, a rather noted colored preacher, and pastor of the Fifth Baptist Church, was attended by considerable disorder, and only the presence of a strong police force prevented a row.

Two of these presented themselves at the church in full regalia, but by instructional of the family of the deceased were refused admission. This nearly precipitated trouble.

Itv Tort Bun. "You may talk about your instantaneous photography,” observed a man who produces tintypes for the masses at Coney Island, "but if you want to see lightning work all the way through you should look in here some day when it isn’t raining. The instantaneous process is quick work only for an instant This is something that requires lightning speed from the instant the subject darkens the door to the momentof handing him back his change. How will he have it, standing or sitting!—all right, take this seat—sit still —now look pleasant—there you are—twice as natural as life—half a dollar—thank you, sir—next! ‘ Posing? t\ eil, no; we don’t do much artistic posing. T here are only two poses known and recognized by us—the standing and the sitting. But there are variations—and Such variations! However, our customers attend to those, and ; we don't trouble ourselues. The main thing is )to get the subject still for a moment. You can’t satisfy anybody with a picture in which he appears as a group; you must have him still, and when yon have got him there vour trouble ends. A good and artistic pose with us is one that doesn't change while the lens is uncovered. “You would think posine would be an easy matter here, wouldn't yon! “ Suppose you should have half a dozen fellows, full as goats, come in and insist upon being taken in a group, what what would yon do! Give it up! Well, we don't; we just take 'em. They can’t count, and if soma of them appear two or three times in the picture it doesn't matter. So you would be right in thinking posing an easy matter. The solicitude of the young man and his best girl from the country to appear to the best advantage oil tin might give us trouble but for our long experience. We don’t give them any preliminary voice in the matter. The young man is at once seated and warned not to stir. Then the girl is stood up, just baek of his right shoulder and her left arm is brought across the back of his neck, so that her left band rests on the left lapel of his linen duster. Then we have got him; he doesn’t want to stir. The girl never makes any fuss. These things have to be done, you see. The populace is waiting to be tintyped. and there is uo time for experimenting as to postures and view.

"But, after all, the principal thing is to have the background what it should be. If the portraits don't resemble the original it's of little consequence. The friends of the subjects will believe them when they say the picture* are theirs. If any further evidence should be needed we would cheerfully certify that they liad paid for them. But the background must bo appropriate—an angry hea lashing a picturesque wreck; a still expanse of water with a glimmer of light coming down from the moon on the horizon; a boat left high and dry by the receding tide, or something of that sort. Os course, these, things are painted in the city, and could be used there as well as here. Perhaps the negatives and the finishing could be done as well in the city as at Coney Island. But when the public has its pictures taken at Coney Island it dones't want a drawing-room background. It wants the marinest kind of marine surroundings, and shall have them if enterprise on our part can furnish them.” A Revolution In Theatrical Advertising. New York Commercial Advertiser. "There will soon be a revolution in the system of theatrical advertising,” said a dealer in prints and lithographs. “About ten years ago the only poster that actors needed to blazeu forth their greatness was the simple name of the play, or at most a picture in black and white of the newstar. Now it is all different. The smallest companies plaster the fences and dead walls of the country towns with rainbow-colored advertisements of gigantic size. The less the show the bigger the posters. But it won’t do any more in New York. People make up their minds for themselves, or—as is oftener the case —they take what the newspapers tell them. But they wou't he taken in by 20x20 feet sheets of blood and thunder. This feeling is gradually spreading over the country, and if I'm not much mistaken the days of the mammoth pictorial lies about enterprising ‘barn stormers’ are at an end. “Lotta’s misfortune in the early part of her London engagement was due largely to the ignorance of her advertising agent. The Cockneywill not be imposed upon by gorgeous advertising. If any scene depicted on the posters is wanting in the play Airy lets the manager of the theater understand his disgust by calling foe the missing sensation from his seat among the "gods.” Lotta's agent lied rather more than usual, pictorially speaking, I mean, and the cockneys demonstrated their disapproval in unmeasured terms.
