BLAINE IS BETTER.

A Washington dispatch of .Tan. 1. says: “It is now fourteen days since Mr. Blaine suffered tiro relapse which may of his intimate friends feared would speedily prove fatal. That lie has lived tho old year out and witnessed the coining of another year is a surprise to many who have means of knowing just how ill Mr. Blaino lias been and also how sick lie is to-day. There are rumors from timo to timo that, Mr. Blaine Is to he removed to somo warmer climate. The’fact that Mr. Blaine is not able to sit up seems to bo taken as evidence that the period of his removal is very romote at least. Sick as Mr Blaino is, ho exhibits much of that wonderful will power and nerve that have carried him through moro tnanono crisis. In these latter days lie exhibits less of the despoudeney over his physical condition than which characterized him when he was much stronger than lie is to-day. Iu the presence of his family he tries to be cheerful and hopeful of the future.” *
