MR. BLAINE AND HIS WRITING. How He has Employed Illmself Sloos Last Campaign He will not Write More. New York World Interview. "Do you find that your power of mental and physical endurance were Impaired by the strain of the last campaign?" "I think not. For six weeks dnrinr my Western trip I did a great deal of hard work. I made 450 speeches in six weeks and was traveling all the time. My hardest day was when I made twenty-nine stump speeches in one day. 01 course the speeches were only from tea to twelve or fifteen minutes in length, but euch a quantity of them were harder than one or two long ones. A short stump speech is more wearing than one of an hour or more, because you must cut oft all introduction and condense a hundred facts into ten sentences. Well, I traveled through the We3t for six weeks, and on Novsmber G, two days after the election, I became convinced that Mr. Cleveland was tobe given a majority of tbeelectral votes and began that day on my bock. For fourteen months I wrote fifteen pages of foolscap manuscript every day. I felt no ill effects from the work of the campaign and began immediately writing my book without feeling the neeifof any rest whatever. "It took me about an equal time to write the second volume of my book a little longer, in fact, because there were some 10,000 more words in Volume II. After I had finished that I looked over my speeches and other documents and have put them in shape and edited them for publication. I have included in this last compilation some matters outside which has a bearing on the subject matter and some diplomatic correspondence which took place while I was Secretary of State. All this work has occupied me fully since the campaign. I believe that a mind agreeably occupied is about as necessary to good health as anything else. A dull or rusty mind or one occupied with matters not to the taste is a very bad thine." 'Don't you consider that an author of books of general interest, wnicn are gener ally read by the public, is in a sense a public man?" "I hardly think so. I am not a public man, Priyate undutoibed Ey wru

eion Is one of the greatest privileges of

American liberty. 1 think a man who is l t before the public and is a candidate for no ofjjce ought not tobe followed by the F.ewppapers. I have been importuned for interviews, but I have no opinions on pub lic questions and make a practice oi avoiding newspaper men, because my confidence has been betrayed so frequently and I have been misquoted and made to say things that I never did fay and never thought. As toon as a man opens his month to a reporter he is then in his power. Now I told you I had nothing to say and would not be interviewed on public matters. I am perfectly willing to tell jou for publication that I am going atrcad and of my plac3 ao far as made, it that is of any interest to . you, and to tell ycu that my health is first rate and that I never felt better or stronger. But I do positively refuse to discuss political matters, further than what little 1 have said to you, if that can be considered political, because I am not before tne public ani have no opinions to express to anybody. V hen a man is not prominently before the public there .is very little interest felt in im.M "Take the case of Jefferson Davis, for example; he has not been in the public eye for a long time, and yet he is still a person of interest," the World correspondent suggested. "Well, now, l don t tnins so. tor& man of so great prominence he has almost entirely fallen from view. I don't know that any great interf st is felt in his move ments now, and I have never heard that his book had much of a sale." "Mr. Blaine, are you contemplating writing another book?'' "No." "It has been rusgested that you intend to write something on your impressions of Europe?" "No, I have no such intention." Republican Tricks. lAngola Democrat Governor Gray has Issued a formal proc lamation declaring the laws passed by the last Legislature to have gone into eflect. "But," says the Anderson Democrat, "the act of the Governor by no means condones the violations of law perpetrated by Gniha, the nondescript Republican Secretary of State." We understand the Secretary of State has been making some sort of explanation for his neglect to include in his publication of the acts a statement of the financial condition of the State. But however plausible he may make it appear from his own point ol view, the real reason for the omission is doubtless to be found in a desire on the part of the Republican managers to keep Iroaa the people the truth in regard to the management of the State's funds by the retiring Democratic officials. It will be remembered that dunntr the last cam paign Republican stump orators and the press of that party had a good deal to say about the need ot investigating the State treasury, and intimating that the money could not all be accounted for. They plead with incredulous tax payers the need of a change, that the books miht be opened and the wicked Democrats brought to a strict account for their reckless extravagance and malfeasance In office. Well, they succeeded In getting a change. A Republican succeeded Mr. Cooper as keener of the State's pubI e " rri. l l . .1 lie iunas. j ne dooks were opeueu, me accounts found balanced and the cash all eafe. But, lest the people should know the truth how Republican strikers have lied about this matter and slandered Dem ocrats, the part san Secretary of State with holds the omcial statement upon this point of vital interest to every tax-payer, and which it is his sworn duty under the Con stitution to make public. Such demagogue' merits only the strongest con densation. West Point Dancing Classes. ISf. Nicholas for June. One of the morning duties at West Point is the dancing lesson. Each class has an hour a day allotted to it. The dancing master calls the dance, the pianist strikes up a lively tune, and the cadets revolve and gvrate In couples about the room. They can hardly fail to become good cancers when all enter into the spirit of it with eo much heartiness. The dancing master is the j oiliest of short, fat Frenchmen. "Attention, caviliers!" he calls. "In ze vallze ze right foot es advance, so; zea ze left, and ze right brought np, so! Nowone, two, tree; one, two, tree!'' and he sways his body and half closes his eyes as he chants the numbers, while the whole roomful of boys move as he directs. Sud denly he sees a cadet leaning agiinst the wall, and he darts across the room to him. "Ah, Monsieur, vy do you not dance?" "Can't get the step," is the reply. "Ah, et isverry easy! I will get you a partner." And away he goe3 to another, who alEO has dimculty with the step, and panting and red In the face, brings him to the scene. "Now, Mees Fisher, allow me introduce Monsieur Johnson; now you will dance." And "Johnson and 'Mees' Fisher" bow, and redden at the laughter around them, and then try again. Uorsford's Acid Phosphates, IK EPILErSY. Dr. A. L. Turner, head physician, Bloomsbnrg Sanitarium, Philadelphia, Pa., says: "Have prescribed it in several hundred cases of epilepsy, and always with good results. As an adjunct to the recuperative powers of the nervous ajstem I know of nothing to equal it." The "Reformers" Showed Up. Rushvllle Jacksonian. Several prominent citizens of Nashville, Tenn.. visited Indianapolis last Tuesday to visit the charitable institutions of the city. They haa been selected by citizens of that city to visit institutions ol that kind in Louisville and Chicago, and had been at those places. They said the asylums at Indianapolis were the most complete they had visited, and that the men in charge of them were wise and competent. Tbat shows the rascality of the House investigation and the Republican campaign civil service investigation report. Though pure and simple, and so mild, It might be usel by any child, Yet Zozodcnt is so swift and sure That mouth and teeth with wondrous speed From tartar and from taint are freed Till they become sweet, white and pure. Confesses to Marder. Stcegeos. Mo., Jane 8. On May 20 the dead body of Peter Koerner, a cooper living in St. Louis, was found on the railroad track near here. The circumstances of the death were suspicious, and several negroes were arrested. To-night Pete Hall, one of the prisoners, confessed that he had murdered Koerner for the purpose of robbery. He had killed him by hitting him over the head with a brick while his victim was .Bleeping in a freight car, and had after ward earned the body on nis Dace tnreequarters of a mile from the car and placed t on the railroad track. A Monrafat Lot. "Where have all these young men been?" inquired a gentleman of a Harlem policeman. "To a funeral?" "No, sir," replied the policeman, wiping away a tear, "they have been over to the Polo grounds watching the New Yorks-play balL" The learned and eminent scholar, Andrew D. White, ex-President of Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y, writes under date December 2, 1881: "Long experience haa taught my family to prize Pond's Extract very highly, and to regard it as one of the absolute necessities of housekeeping." Such testimony should Induce all families to at least try Pond's Extract, an invaluable remedy for aU prina and hem-ontagea,

GAS, OIL AND SALT WATER. State Geologist Tbotnpson Discusses the Besnlts of Recent Investigations. Professor Orton, the able aud efficient State Geologist of Ohio, is reported, by the Peru Republican, as having said that no disturbance of the p leczoic strata exists along the Wabash River, as eketched by Pro.'estor Gorbey in the last State Geological report. One on the :facts" upon which Professor Orton's opinion was based wa3 that Txenton limestone had, according to the Professor, been found at less than six hundred feet below the surface at Elkhart, far north of the river. A few days ago I received a letter from Professor Orton frankly admitting that he was wrong in his judgment of the Elkhart well. This, however, was after my assistant, Professor Gorbey, had been to E.khart and Goshen, and settled the fact tbat Treu'on limestone must be fifteen hundred, or perhaps considerably more than fifteen hundred feet under ground there. I do not mention this to point out the error of Professor Orton's judgment, which, no doabt, came of a tco hasty examination, but to call the attention of those interested in Indiana geology to pome further developments of my survey of the line of the Wabash River and of the western pat of the "WaOash Arch," or Wabash "disturbance." A little south of Kentland, in Newton County, there is a truncated fold o the Upper Silurian strata. Its shape is that of a cone whose apex has been cut off, the area exposed being a hundred or more acrf s, the rock standing almost vertically in the center &ni sloping toward all points of tie compass around the outer circumference. It is not a "false bedding" in any sense of the word; but, on the contrary, ti e locks, which are of the water-lime and Niagara groups, nbow every feature of disturbance. This Kentland area is surrounded by a strata of the superior formation deposited aonconformably, it being but a few miles (not to exceed three) to where the sub-carboniferous rocks lie level and undisturbed. At Delphi, which is on the Wabash River, another unmistakable arch is exposed in the outcrop of the Niagara rocks. There the Devonian shales and Corniferous limestone lie undisturbed, evenly disposed around and non conformably to the Niagara limestone. This arch is as plainly marked as if of masonry, aud its breadth of span is accurately proportional to the thickness of the rocks as shown by the drill in the Delphi well. Mr. W. H. Thompson, who has made for me a thorough re-examination of the formation, reports that the drill, in passing through the Niagara limestone is the well above mentioned.cut tho stratifications at an angle of about forty dpgrees, wherefore the formation showed much thicker than it really is. It appears that many geologists have taken it for granted that Professor Gorbey has described a perfect and continuous arch across Indiana. This is cot so. The fold, so far as yet defined, is just like any other mountain chain, a series of anticlines and synclines a broken, cracked, twisted, distorted condition of the strata extending across the State, in a zig-zg system of faults, fissures and breaks, of which the Wabash River runs for mush of the way between Huntington and Lafayette. Before any boring had been done on the banks of the river between thr sa point?, I ventured to express the belief that no gas would be discovered at any point of lis river where the disturbance was of a marked nature, for the reason that the lissure3 caused by the disturbance had allowed the gas to escape. So far, my prediction holds good to a dpgree beyond the limit of expectation, for, while gas is found at Fort Wayne on one hand, and some ten miles south of the river on the other hand, the wells at Pern, Delphi. Logansport, Wabash, Huntington and Biuilton have been failures. Another prediction, based on facts noted in connection with the "disturbance," was that north of the Wabash River I should expect to find the strata all dipping northwardly to pass under the Michigan basin. The drillings since made prove this forecast to have been correct. If the gas found at Fort Wayne prove to be unaccompanied by salt water, the theory advanced by Professor Orton that deep gas mu3t soon succumb to salt water will have been abandoned. If Trenton limestone is not continuously porous and it certainly is not we must admit that salt water csn not always be the next thing below the gas. The simpler explanation of the whole matter Is that wherever salt water and gas occupy the same porous stratum the water will be below the gas, and, if the gas has escaped, the water will still be there. So if oil and water are together in a porous rock, the oil will be above the water. The theory that gas is not to bo found in paying quantities not more than 500 feet below the sea-level ia to be taken as of local and not general application. In the main gas regions of Ohio and Indiana it chanced that the top of the Trenton anticlinals was not far from sa level, therefore, where a well reached Trenton limestone greatly below sea-level it would probably be in a tronch or synclinal which would be found full of oil or salt water, because these heavier bodies sought the lowest point in the porous rock. Bat it an area of Trenton limestone, porous and surrounded by an impervious area, ahould be cut by the drill, no matter how deep below sea level, it might be found fall of eras, for

in tbat case, if gas ever had been generated in the rook, it would, of necessity, still b9 tnere. The phrases "eea-level" must be taken as of limited and local application at present, thoTJh it may chance to held good in a large majority of instances everywhere. The reason it holds good in general throughout Indiana and Northern Ohio is to be found in the fact tbat the Trenton limestone happens to lie, when undisturbed, considerably below sea-level, and when disturbed a little below, at or somewhat above eea-level. Therefore, when the disturbance has formed a dome, whose roof is unbroken, gas will be found in the dome, but if thereof is cracked and broken the gas will all be gone. The domes at Kentland and Deiphi probably, would have been full of gas had they remained unbroken. Still thfl anticlinal theory does not preclude the possibility of gas being found even in synclinals under special circumstances, nor does the "sea-level" theory, as I take it, exclude the possibility or even the probability of gas being found at any depth under ground, provided there is a proper reservoir In the structure of the Trenton limestone. In other words, if a dome or anticlinal crest of Trenton limestone should be found 1,000 feet below sea-level, I see no rfason why, if porous, it should not be full of gas. This is the only hope for any successful wells north of the Wabash arch. If anywhere along the northward slope the Trenton limestone be found sfcarply folded, there gas may be accumulated in paying quantities, but as the area is deeply covered with drift the drill must disclose the facts. Macrice Thompsoh. Odd Sunday Laws In England. I London Queen.l A case which came before the Bloomsbury County Court laJt week is of some interest with reference to Sunday trading. The plaintiff, decribed as "a lady of means." son cht to recover from the defend ant, a dog fiancler, 8 aa money paid for a dog alleged to have been soia to ner under false pretenses. Obj ection was taken to the claim by the defendant's counsel on the ground that the dog was bought and paid for on a Sunday in controvention of the provisions of an old act of Charles IL, which mafces it an offense to transact ordinary business on Sunday. It was admitted that the defend ant had, by selling the dog, violated the law. and made himself liable to a penalty; but still It waa argued that the contract entered into on a Sunday was void, and, therefore, no action could be maintained. The Judge decided that this objection held ;ood, and that the defendant could not egally enter into a contract in pursuit of Ms dally occupation oa a ßAbbath

day. It was he added, suggested that everybody should know the acts of Parliament; but that would never he. There were very few who knew that they might sell a mackerel on Sunday yet must not eell a horse. Ha accordingly nonsuited the plaintiff with costs. It is as well to point out that, by 29 Car. II., cap. 7, mackerel may only be eold before and after divine service on Sundays. All dealings in mackerel are forbidden while church is going on. Under the same act, milk may only be told before 0 in the morning on Sundays aad after 4 in the afternoon. SOMETHING WRONG.

Little American Girls Are Not Shaped Itlfcht to Try od misses' Cloaks. New York Sun.l A family of eix sat down to a very early and very frugal breakfast on the top iloor of a tall apartment house on Fifth street the other morning. The father, a hardworking mechanic, was in a hurry to get awsy, but, as usual, he took a little time while be at9 to glance through the Sun. He had just been speaking to his wife about their oldest child, a bright little fourteen-year-old girl, who sat next to him. He thought the was old enough to do something to heip support the family. Naturally, therefore, he first ran his eye over the advertisements, aud he noticed that a big cloak house on Broadway wanted several young girls, aged fourteen to sixteen, to try on "misses' cloaks." Wten her father read it to her, little Susie's pretty face brightened. "Oh, it would be such fun to try on all the pretty cloaks," she said, and, not v.'aüing to finish her breakfast, she hurried off to Broadway. The store had not been opened when she ,reacbed it, but a small group of other Email girls wa3 there already waiting. Some had pretty faces, ard some hadn't; some were well-dressed, and some not; Eome were large, and some were very small. Soon the store was opened, and a clerk ushered the group up to the second lloor, a large carpeted room, with great mirrors on the walls, which made all the little girls think how nice it would be to stand there all day and try on cloaks and look at themselves, and see what would become of them. very soon a tall young man, with eyeglasses and a tape measure, came out of the office and called the girls to him. They were all anxious to speak first, but he went to each aud atked her ege. They all said fourteen or sixteen. Some looked older and some much younger. Then the young man picked out three aud me isured their basts and waists and felt of their arms. He worked very rapidly. It wasn't five minutes after he called the girls to him before be said, "I'm sorry, but none of you will do. I ehall have to advertise again." The girls, with sorrowful faces, were Ufhered out, and the young man, turning to a Sun reporter, said : "I don't spe what's the matter with all the little girls in America. I have worked in a similar place in Europe, and we had no difficulty there in finding plenty of girls of a correct development. There mu8t be something in the way of living here. Those girls were all out of shape. Only one stood up straight, and her arms weie like pipe stems." "What is the ideal form for a model for 'misses' cloaks?" "We grade the sizes according to ages. The twelve-year-old model should have a SO-inch bust and a 21-inch waist. Of course all models should be straight, have good shoulders and arms, should not be too plump nor yet too slender. The bust of the fourteen-year-old model must measure thirty one inches, the waist twenty-four; the Bixteen-year-old thirty-two inches, and the waist twenty-four. The bust, you see, in the perfect form keeps developing cradually, while the waist remains about the same size. The model for a lady's c'oak with a 30-inch bust should measure not over twenty-four and one-half inches round the waist. There Is a good lady's model there by the mirrors now." The younsr man pointed to a tall girl of perhaps twenty-four, with a Langtry shape, who was trying on cloak after cloak with a careless grace for the benefit ot a buyer. "She is an old and practiced model," continued the young man." She slips in and out of those cloaks with what we call 'chic' in France. It is something more than grace." "How much do young models earn "From $5 to $G a week. They aie worth it. Five hours of the day, perhaps, they are doing nothing at all, but it is half the cloak to be on a good form. It is very hard to get good models. Small American girls seem to be atllicted with too little chest and too much stomach." When little Susie got to her Fifth street home she Eaid to her mother: "It was a lovely place, but I didn't do because I was too big in eome spots and too little in others." A Good Word for Mr. Gordon. jGrctncastle Star Prcss.1 One is always well pleased to note a fact calculated to be of interest and bene fit to the public, hence it is a pleasure for us to announce that Hon. John R. Gordon, of this city, has been appointed a trustee of the Indiana Asvlum for the üiind, yiee Howard Brigip, whose term has expired. The appointment came to Mr. Gordon without solicitation, either directly or in directly, by himself or friends he was selected by Governor Gray for the place be cause of his eminent fitnes3 for the posi tion. His character, morally and socially, is without reproach. He is not a common drunkard, a gambler, and a debauche, and this is "something that cau not be truthfully alleged of some of tis predecessors in orlice. By reason of education, business tact and unquestioned honesty ne assumes the office equipped with an tne necessary Qualities to administer it in the in teres; ot the State and its sightless wards, hence the people of the State are to be congratulated onEecuring so good a public official, the Governor is to be congratulated on making so wise a choice, and Mr. Gordon is to congratulated because of the fact that these pleasant facts may bo given to the pub lie in print. A Parrot 100 Tear a Old. IXew York Bua.l "ÄTv parrot Is 100 years old," said Erastus Judd, living at COS Elm street. "I have had him for thirty yeans and my lainer had him about forty years. 'Old Putnam,' as we call him, used to belong to my grandfather, Seth jndd, who lived at Shelburne FallP, ilajs. The old gentleman got him from a sailer in Boston. I have family letters dated in 1790 in which 'Old Patnam' is referred to as 'a prettie bird which hath been 'taught to say after one much of our New Eneland primer and certain of Dr. Watt's hymns for the young.' I do not tee that the parrot is not as young as ever. He is very docile and talks as cleverly as a child of six. His plumage is still bright, but his sight has failed him somewhat. The way to tell the age of a parrot is to count the rings on his claws. A new ring (or wrinkle) comes every tenth year. Old Putnam' has nine of these rings ana a starter for the tenth."

Her body from the crown of her head to the eoles of her feet was a mass of decay, masses of flesh rotting oS and leaving great cavities, ller fingers fettered and three or four nails dropped c2 at one time. Her limbs contracted by the fearful ulceration, and for several years she did not leave her bed. Her wcipht was reduced from 125 to 60 lbs. Perhaps eome taint idea of her condition can be gleaned from the fact that three pounds of Cosmoline or ointment were osed per week in dref sing her sores. Finally the physicians acknowledged their defeat by this Black Wolf, and commended the sufferer to her all-wise Creator. Her husband hearing wonderful reports of the ose Of Swift's fc-PEcinc iS. S.
