Ho WUS told liy I lie cemmittep tluit ho would find Slnino people very stiff and inhospitable and qnito different from tho western people. Sir. Cuniluick wns surprised, however, at his enthiiKiiistin reception, there being lurgn crowds everywhere, nnd he never lind n more ciithnsinstio meeting than lit Augusta. Ho told Blaine of the incident and his agreeable disappointment. "Oh," snid the statesman, "they had man of tumsttal stuff to got them stirred tip I Such a man on a spcerh a you are would luive a good reputation anywhere. " "But what do you know about my speech?" asked the governor. "Didn't you speak with me over at cpringficlu?" snid Blaine in n way as a n uimiier. 'I hen he went ahead and told Mr Cumbnck nil about his speech, of the crowd present and gave promptly all tho main points of the speech and even nmned tho party with them. Ho also remembered at what hotel they put up and whut dny of the week it was. Another instance of Blaine's great memory is cited in tho following story, as told by Sir. Cumbnck: During the 4iirfleld campaign Mr. Blaine spoke in Cumbark's town. Ho was entertained by Mr. Cutuback and driven over town. "There's a sick man in that houso there that has been talking you up for prcsidcut for four or five years, " said the Governor, "nnd he thinks there is no one like Jim Blaine. " "Me for president?" said Blaine. "Yes, you for president. Do yon want to stop and go in to see im n minute? Nothing would please him bet ter." They went in and remninrd a few minutes. Blaine trotted the children on bis lap nnd talked freely with the sick mail, whoso name was Dnvid Kerr. Bluiuo and tlio governor met at Gar field's iiiutignrntion. "How aro you, Will?" asked Blaine. And he asked all about the men lie had met in Cuniliark's town several months befoio and culled nearly all of them by their first uunies. "Oh, yes," lie said, "how is Dnve Kerr? Did he ever got well? Poor fellow, he suffered terribly. And those littlo children, bow about them?" This may bo considered a wonderful f rut of memory. It was in October when he met these people, and it was on the 4th of Slurrh, nearly five months after wnrd, thut ho recalled his visit, rc memiienng tno niinio of every person ho wus introduced to on that day. Ho bud Kirn a million peoplo since that time nnd had shaken hands with aud nut thousands. Sir. Cumbnck accompanied Mr. Bluinu ou l.iH speaking tour through In diana during his campaign in 1884. It wus iiiht ten days before election. Cuni' buck U ft him at Lafayette, Buying that ho wouldu t see him again until the inauguration. "I don't know," said Bluine doubt fully. 'I'm afraid it won't be. " Ho bad un unusual, vacant, faraway look in bis eyes, and bo was very seri ous. His words came slowly and hesi tatingly. Mr. Cuiuback assured him thut there was no doubt, but Blaine shook bis head. " I don't know, " said ha "I've had a sort of feeling for the last week that I wouldn't be eloctod. I hope I will, but the outcome is doubtful, and I feel now as if it were very doubtful. But if I am defeated I will go to work tbo next day on my book." And be did.

"Don't waste your time in clipping OfT the brunches," said the woodman to bis son, "but lay your ax at tie root of the tree.
